Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

"Aren't you afraid I could endanger your life? You trust me that much?"

Wang Da Ba said in surprise, feeling a little touched.

Although this Xu woman is a bit ungrateful, I have already made a harsh statement about dealing with her.

She also knew that this was a trap.

The fact that he dared to put himself in danger shows that he must be a good person with good character in her eyes.

Thinking of this, Wang Da Ba felt a surge of emotion.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, running very fast and heading straight towards their location.

Wang Da Ba's expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Xu Qing, saying, "You were prepared all along?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Otherwise, why do you think I would dare to risk my life alone?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the tightly closed door was violently flung open from the outside.

Wang Da Ba turned around and saw that Prefect Ye and his soldiers had surrounded the place, with the magistrate's wife being held captive behind him.

Ye Wushuang squeezed in from the side and rushed straight to Xu Qing's side.

He turned Xu Qing around and around, examining him from top to bottom.

They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was unharmed and unharmed.

"Aunt Xu, I was so scared! You suddenly disappeared, and I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you. Luckily, my dad came, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

But speaking of which, why did my father bring so many people to rescue you? Did Uncle Cui worry about me and tell my father instead?

Thinking of this, Ye Wushuang stomped her foot in anger and muttered to herself: If you don't trust me, why call me? Just call me Dad!

Fortunately, he called him "Dad," otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Xu Qing did not tell Ye Wushuang the truth.

In fact, back in Haiqu, Cui Han was always out early and back late, and no one could be seen. He was investigating the matter of the medicine powder.

Since he became addicted to drugs, many officials in the capital have also become addicted.

Their common characteristic is that they first contracted a cold that was difficult to cure, and then began to use medicinal powders.

After becoming addicted to the drug, the court officials became increasingly obsessed with it, needing to take the drug every day to handle matters; otherwise, they would lack the energy to do so.

It can be said that the entire capital city was in a state of chaos and disorder.

While searching for a way to break the withdrawal symptoms, Cui Han also conducted a secret investigation.

But as his drug addiction worsened, he gradually became powerless.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. His nephew found a solution, and he also found some clues about the medicine powder.

The imperial physician who treated the official was from Haiqu.

Cui Han then went to Haiqu with Xu Qing. He also discovered that the imperial physician's wife was actually the wet nurse of the Haiqu prefect's household.

As the investigation deepened, the mystery gradually dissipated.

The prefect of Haiqu had been bribed by the British at some point, and they plotted to control the court officials through this drug, thereby achieving their goal of controlling the entire country.

However, the prefect of Haiqu was very cautious, and without the most important evidence, Cui Han dared not act rashly.

However, the prefect of Haiqu had a fatal weakness: his youngest son, Wang Daba.

By a twist of fate, Wang Da Ba also fell for Xu Qing.

After Cui Han learned about this, he thought about it for a moment and came up with a solution.

He first told Xu Qing the whole story, hoping to get Xu Qing's help. Only after Xu Qing agreed did he reveal his solution.

Wang Daba had already given up after being scolded by Xu Qing, but Cui Han sent someone to deliberately guide him in front of him.

As expected, Wang Daba fell for the trick and, in a moment of impulse, decided to run to Xujia Village to find Xu Qing.

The prefect of Haiqu was worried about his youngest son, so he assigned half of his most capable guards to Wang Daba to protect his safety.

This gave Cui Han an opportunity, and he sent people to infiltrate the prefect's residence and obtain environmental evidence.

He then notified Prefect Ye, instructing him to send men to protect Xu Qing and, incidentally, capture Wang Da Ba.

With Wang Daba as a hostage, there's no need to worry about the Haiqu prefect not confessing.

Prefect Ye arrested Wang Da Ba and threw him into jail on the grounds that Wang Da Ba had harassed a woman.

Wang Daba was still yelling: "Do you know who my father is? You dare to arrest me! You're finished! I'll have my father chop off your head and kill your whole family, let me go now! Let me go... mmm mmm!"

Ye Wushuang took off her smelly socks and stuffed them into Wang Daba's mouth: "Shut up, your mouth stinks!"

After resolving matters in Dukou Town, Xu Qing prepared to go home.

At the dock, Ye Wushuang reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Qing: "Aunt Xu, when will you come to Fucheng to visit me again!"

Xu Qing waved his hand: "I'll definitely come. I still have business in the prefectural city. We'll meet again sometime, so don't be sad."

Ye Wushuang was then happy.

After seeing Ye Wushuang off, Xu Qing first went to the milk tea shop for a stroll. Seeing the crowds of people in the shop, she was satisfied.

Xu Qing went to Datong Town again, found a suitable shop and bought it, planning to open a branch in Datong Town.

Today she owns many businesses, including a milk tea shop, squat toilets, and a medicinal herb workshop.

Moreover, they are found in many towns.

She hadn't calculated the exact amount of money she earned each month, but in Datong Town, she could be considered a moderately wealthy woman.

Xu Qing began preparing for the Datong Town branch.

She hired craftsmen to renovate the shop according to her own ideas, aiming to retain its unique features while incorporating local style.

During this period, she personally selected raw materials such as tea leaves and milk to ensure superior quality.

That day, Xu Qing was directing the shop assistants to arrange tables and chairs when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Upon going outside, they discovered that it was a group of thugs collecting protection money, and the surrounding businesses dared not speak out against them.

Xu Qing frowned slightly, thinking that he would not allow such a thing to happen in front of his shop.

She stepped forward and said loudly, "Do you have official permission to collect protection money here?"

When the thugs saw that it was a woman, they burst into laughter.

One of the men, who appeared to be the leader, shouted, "Where did this little lady come from, meddling in our business? If you know what's good for you, pay up and leave."

Xu Qing sneered and took out a token from her bosom. It was a special pass given to her by Prefect Ye, which granted her the protection of the government.

This is a reward for Xu Qing's help in capturing people by Cui Han. With this token, Xu Qing can roam freely in the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the prefecture.

Upon seeing the token, the bullies turned pale with fright and slunk away.

The surrounding shopkeepers gathered around to thank Xu Qing, who smiled and said that everyone was looking out for each other.

Time flies, and Xu Qing's business has grown bigger and bigger. During this time, she has also developed many new things.

For example, they tried to make a bicycle out of iron, and they actually succeeded.

However, iron resources were scarce and controlled by the state in this era, resulting in high prices.

Rubber trees also began to produce rubber, which was then used to make many rubber products, making rubber shoes affordable for ordinary people.

Xu Qing's three daughters have also grown up.

As Xu Qing's business grew larger and larger, Xu Zhenzhen chose to return to the Cui family and take over their business.

Then, the day after taking over the Cui family's business, he returned to the Xu family with all his wealth...
