The capture of the Northern Kingdom's crown prince caused other border countries of Daqing to be more restrained. The Northern Kingdom's emperor tried several times to snatch his son back, but was discovered every time. Because of Liu Qing's merits, Jiang Yan granted him several explosive packs, and he even used the explosives to blow up a moat on the road from the Northern Kingdom to Daqing!

From now on, it will be more difficult for the northern countries to come to Daqing.

At the same time, the Minister of Agriculture also sent news that rare minerals had been found in Xiacheng.

Xu Ning was in a good mood. She brought a bunch of red envelopes to distribute to the employees of Happy Valley.

"Xuemei, please stop the carriage in front!" Xu Ning looked through the car window and saw a crowd of people gathered in front of a clothing store in Happy Valley not far ahead.

As the driver pulled the reins, the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside. Xu Ning nimbly jumped off and strode towards the crowded crowd.

I saw people whispering and talking to each other, but because there were so many people and the noise was so loud, it was difficult to hear what they were talking about for a moment.

Xu Ning stretched out his hands and pushed through the crowd in front of him, pushing forward with difficulty. Some of those who were pushed grumbled in dissatisfaction, but when they saw the elegant attire of the newcomer, they tactfully shut up and made way for him. In this way, Xu Ning finally managed to squeeze into the circle.

"Mr. Zhang, my embroiderer said she doesn't know you at all. If you keep pestering me like this, we will have to go to the government to seek justice!" The person who spoke was angry, with his hands on his hips, staring at the man in front of him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an arrogant face.

"Hmph, just go and report to the authorities! It's okay to tell you, the Haicheng County Magistrate is my brother-in-law! When you get to the county government office, you'll see whether he will support you common people or listen to me and handle this matter!" The Mr. Zhang held his head high with an arrogant look, as if the entire Haicheng was owned by his family.

"Boss, what happened?" Xu Ning suddenly spoke.

When the shopkeeper saw Xu Ning, his eyes lit up and a look of surprise crossed his face. He was about to call for help when the young man known as Mr. Zhang suddenly turned around, looked Xu Ning up and down, and then asked bluntly, "Hey, who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?"

Xu Ning looked at him expressionlessly and replied coldly, "I'm just someone who can handle things. Don't worry, just tell me everything clearly. What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang immediately perked up and pointed inside the shop, shouting, "See that embroiderer hiding in there? She's my concubine who ran away from home! Today, I personally brought people to capture her, but I didn't expect anyone to dare to stop us!"

"Oh? Escaped concubine? Do you have any evidence?" Xu Ning frowned and asked.

"I have her indenture!"

"That's not me!" The embroiderer who was hiding in the inner hall came out excitedly after hearing the indenture.

"Wan Niang, don't worry. The boss is here, she will make the decision for you." The shopkeeper whispered in Wan Niang's ear. Wan Niang looked at Xu Ning steadily, as if she had made up her mind. She knelt in front of Xu Ning and said, "My lady, the indenture in that man's hand is fake!"
