Farming and reading family

In principle, the princess would not interfere in such trivial matters, but in such a small place, it is not a trivial matter.

Besides, she just happened to meet him and asked him.

Qiu Zhen also didn't know why Xu Boyan didn't tell her about this matter, making her so passive now.

Gao E arrived at the yamen first, and Xu Boyan was eating.

"Sit down and eat something?" Xu Boyan asked Bai Hao to add more bowls and chopsticks.

"No, it's just a small matter." Gao E didn't sit down. "Someone from the Tao family is here. It's Fu An from Danyang Society."

"Fu An?" Xu Boyan thought for a moment and said, "I've seen him before."

People who were in the same high school as him would attend many banquets together. Fu An was famous for refusing to take an official position, and many upright people invited him at that time.

Xu Boyan noticed him because he was from Dancheng.

"Very powerful?" Gao E didn't expect that Xu Boyan had actually seen it.

"He and I went to high school together and he has a good reputation. I guess he wants to use this to talk to me." Xu Boyan guessed.

Gao E suddenly realized: "Miss Qiu beat him up. I wonder if the princess will intervene."

"Why did Miss Qiu hit him?" Xu Boyan felt that Gao E was behind it.

Gao E gave a brief talk, and it seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Xu Boyan knew Gao E was doing this on purpose: "Is this the little thing you came to tell me about?"

Gao E said that it was a trivial matter to sow discord between the Qiu and Tao families?

I guess Gao E didn't think about what this matter meant. She simply wanted to deal with the Tao family.

"It's not this." Gao E said that this was already in the past and it was not a big deal.

"What is that?" Xu Boyan said he needed to prepare himself mentally.

"If it's about Ghost Crying Mountain, bring Fu An to me and I will handle it." Gao E said directly.

"Is it that simple?" Xu Boyan looked incredulous.

"It's not that I don't want to cause trouble for Lord Xu." Gao E said seriously.

Xu Boyan laughed at what he heard. He didn't know what Gao E was planning, but she just did what she wanted to do: "Okay."

The two men had just finished talking when the servant reported that someone from Yueyuan was looking for Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan glanced at Gao E, wondering what the people from Yueyuan wanted to talk to him about, and signaled Gao E to step aside.

Gao E stood up and walked behind the screen.

Soon, someone who said he was from Yueyuan was brought up. Xu Boyan saw that his attire was that of the eldest princess's man, and it seemed that the eldest princess was asking about this matter.

The visitor asked Xu Boyan to go to Yueyuan, so Xu Boyan had to put down his chopsticks and leave.

Gao E also knew that the person was not from Yueyuan. She originally wanted to tell Xu Boyan and leave, but now she planned to wait for Xu Boyan to come back and ask him what was going on.

Bai Hao didn't follow his master. Seeing Madam Chen coming out, he asked tentatively, "Madam Chen, would you like to have some lunch?"

Gao E wanted to wait for Xu Boyan to come back: "Okay."

Bai Hao immediately added more bowls and chopsticks for Gao E.

When Xu Boyan arrived at Yueyuan, he didn't recognize that the person who was beaten was Fu An. It seemed that Gao E had exaggerated what she said, and Miss Qiu had killed him.

"Greetings, Princess." Xu Boyan looked at the expressions of the people around him and knew that they should all know the identity of the Princess, so he bowed with confidence.

"No thanks." The princess looked at Xu Boyan. "I heard that you imprisoned the Tao family for no reason?"

Xu Boyan breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was relatively simple. "Prince Bin can testify to this."

Fu An was shocked. Prince Bin was here too?

It was surprising enough that the daughter of Marquis Jingyang appeared here, so why were the eldest princess and Prince Bin here too?

What exactly is this He County?

"Prince Bin?" The eldest princess wondered how Prince Bin got involved in the affairs of the Tao family.

"Yes." Xu Boyan nodded. "The Tao family's steward tried to forcefully buy the property of the people of He County, but failed. So he brought people to threaten us. Prince Bin happened to be there too."

Fu An secretly thought that this was not good. Tao Gaozhi's behavior was indeed a bit arrogant. If Prince Bin was really present at that time, Tao Gaozhi might have offended Prince Bin, which is why Xu Boyan was so tough.

"What kind of industry would make the Tao family come all the way here to buy it?" The eldest princess felt that it was a little unreasonable.

"It's a mountain of strange rocks." Xu Boyan couldn't hide it.

The eldest princess sneered: "Tao Hongyuan is becoming more and more useless."

"And..." Xu Boyan hesitated, "The Tao family members imprisoned in the cell were also killed by the mysterious snake wielder."

"What?" Fu An was shocked.

Tao Gaozhi was given the surname Tao, which made him half a member of the Tao family. How could he die in He County?

Xu Boyan nodded: "I have already reported this matter."

Fu An looked at the eldest princess anxiously.

The eldest princess knew that the snake master had killed everyone in the cell because they killed members of the Zhao family, but she didn't know that there were still people from the Tao family in the cell.

"I see." The eldest princess nodded. "Since the Tao family has the ability to extend their influence to He County, why not help find that snake tamer? It can also be considered as revenge for your Tao family."

The snake tamer is most likely the prince's man, and if the princess takes direct action, it may create a rift with the prince.

The Tao family is the prince's family, so it is easy to find someone for the prince. It is most appropriate to let the Tao family find the snake tamer.

As for whether it would cause dissatisfaction among the Crown Prince, what does it have to do with her?

Fu An looked terrified, but his face was too swollen to see. "I need to report this to the head of the family."

"I want you to notify Tao Hongyuan." The eldest princess glanced at Fu An.

"Yes." Fu An bowed.

"Alright, you have to make a fuss over every little thing." The princess looked at Xu Boyan and said, "You arrange for them to stay and tell them to go find the snake tamer."

"Yes." Xu Boyan accepted the order.

The eldest princess looked at Qiu Zhen and said, "If your Qiu family is not doing their job well, then you don't need to do it. I will investigate my daughter's matter thoroughly."

"Princess, this is..." Qiu Zhen wanted to say that this was a mission from the emperor.

"How dare you disobey my orders?" The eldest princess looked at Qiu Zhen.

Qiu Zhen bowed and said, "I dare not."

"It's okay as long as you don't dare." The eldest princess said and stood up to leave.

Everyone bowed and saw the princess off respectfully.

Qiu Zhen looked at Xu Boyan.

"Then I will go and carry out the eldest princess's order first." Xu Boyan said goodbye to Qiu Zhen and left.

Although Qiu Zhen was sent by the emperor, she was not an official, so Xu Boyan didn't need to be too polite to her.

Fu An did not salute Qiu Zhen to express his anger.

When he came, he rode his horse in the street, but now that he was beaten like this, he sat obediently in the carriage with Xu Boyan.

"Do you want me to take you to see a doctor first?" Xu Boyan saw Fu An gasping in pain.

"Master Xu, there is no need to pretend. I know the grudge between Master Xu and the Tao family." Fu An said with a straight face.

Xu Boyan smiled and said, "You are not a member of the Tao family. Besides, I am following the order of the eldest princess to place you."

"But I came to He County on behalf of the Tao family." Fu An said he would stop trying to get close to him.

Xu Boyan nodded: "What is the purpose of this trip?"

"Take Tao Gaozhi and the others away. We must take over Ghost Crying Mountain." Fu An looked at Xu Boyan, as if informing him.

"It's hot, I have already burned the bodies of Tao Gaozhi and the others." Xu Boyan spread his hands.

"You..." Fu An was angry but there was nothing he could do.

"But you can take their ashes with you." Xu Boyan said seriously, "I packed them in a box. It's easy to carry."
