Chapter 145 Come to the door
Thinking of the Tongque Wang family that Xiao Yongyan mentioned again, Lin Xi frowned and said, "I wonder if the Wang family will find out that we are the ones behind this."
They are still guilty now. If people find out that they are doing these things in secret, they will probably arouse the suspicion of those above them.
"What are you worrying about?" Xiao Yongyan chuckled. "The man in the capital can't protect himself right now, so how can he have time to think about us?"
"What happened in the capital?" Lin Xi was quite surprised. Since he had already ascended the throne, how could there be any changes?
Xiao Yongyan's eyes became more and more solemn. "I paid too much price to get to the top. I'm afraid it will backfire now."
Lin Xi had never understood the affairs of the officialdom. She had another plan at the moment. "While I have money now, I might as well renovate my house."
"Do you mean to rebuild it?" Xiao Yongyan asked.
"That's right. We can just live in the store for the time being." Lin Xi thought about it. The papermaking business was not going to be settled for the time being, so it was fine for them to live in the store without delaying anything.
"If you want to build a new house, you can consider building a blue brick house." Xiao Yongyan said.
"That's for sure." Lin Xi still had many ideas in her mind. She had long been dissatisfied with the unhygienic and dark house design of ancient times. She would like to transplant many modern design concepts into it.
"I will talk to the head of the village tomorrow, and we can find people to start the work in two days." Xiao Yongyan said.
Lin Xi had no objection to this arrangement because she had already started drawing the design.
Seeing that she was so engrossed, Xiao Yongyan did not disturb her, but went straight to the head of the village.
When he heard that the two of them were going to build a new house, the village head didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing.
Xiao Yongyan knew that Zhao Tan had some opinion about them, but their identities were sensitive now, so it was difficult for him to take it seriously.
Once you start doing something you like, there is never enough time. Lin Xi stayed up almost all night and finally came up with some prototypes.
Only then did she truly understand why many people said that decoration was a tiring task.
When the villagers heard that Lin Xi was going to build a house, they all expressed their curiosity. Since Lin Xi was so rich, everyone wanted to see how big the house would be.
However, they did not catch Lin Xi at all, as Lin Xi had already moved to Fenghe Town.
Cai Yong and Cai Xiaomei were very happy to see Lin Xi coming to live with them. During this period of time, Lin Xi had completely left the shop to them. They were both very nervous, fearing that any problems might arise.
As for Xiao Yongyan, he felt a lot more relaxed as he no longer needed to run back and forth every day.
The two were drinking tea in the courtyard, leisurely and comfortable, when Dai Jin'er suddenly rushed in, "Boss Lin, something happened. The entrance of Shuer Academy was surrounded by government officials, saying they wanted to catch a fugitive."
When Lin Xi heard this, his heart sank. Could it be Hang Qi?
"I'll go and take a look."
Just as Lin Xi was about to stand up, Xiao Yongyan held her back, "Don't be impulsive, I'll go take a look."
"How can you go!" Lin Xi subconsciously felt that Xiao Yongyan should stay away from Shuer Academy.
"Why can't I go?" Xiao Yongyan raised his eyebrows. "I'm an outsider, why can't I go?"
Lin Xi was stunned. What he said was right. Xiao Yongyan had studied in Shuer School before, and his wife's shop was opened next to it, so it was quite reasonable for him to show up.
Outside the gate, the officials gathered at the entrance of Shuer School.
Inside, Dai Laner opened the door and almost fainted when she saw the scene.
"Gentlemen, who are you looking for?" Dai Lan'er asked cautiously.
The officers looked at Dai Lan'er coldly, "Who is in charge of this school? Come out quickly."
Dai Lan'er was in a dilemma. She naturally saw Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan right next to her, but Lin Xi had already said that she should try not to have anything to do with Shuer Academy.
"Well, our teacher is not here." Dai Laner said.
The officer said in a rather bad tone, "Not here? I'd like to go in and see if there's anyone inside. Guys, go in and search thoroughly!"
This scared Dai Lan'er, and she kept glancing towards Lin Xi.
"Wait a minute," Lin Xi jumped out despite Xiao Yongyan's obstruction, "This school is my territory. If you have any problems, come directly to me."
The police recognized Lin Xi at a glance. After the previous few encounters, they now had only one impression of Lin Xi - absolutely not to be provoked.
But why did this woman jump out again? They were clearly here to find Mr. Shuer!
Lin Xi looked at them strangely. What was going on? Why were they looking at him with such bitter faces?
"Boss Lin, isn't this school owned by Mr. Shuer?" the officer asked.
Lin Xi said, "No, I rented this place because I have some friendship with the gentleman, so I lent it to him."
To be honest, it was indeed she who gave it to Xiao Yongyan, she did not lie.
Several officers looked at each other in bewilderment. What did this mean? The lawyer had clearly said that the person in charge of Shuer Academy must be taken away.
"What do you want?" Lin Xi asked.
The officer hesitated for a moment and said, "We are looking for the person in charge of Shuer Academy."
"It's me!" Lin Xi stood in front of the group, "Just take me back and report back."
Seeing this, Xiao Yongyan said, "How can I trouble you, Madam? I will go back with you."
Several officers were undecided, and finally the leader said, "Take them all away, what are you standing there for!"
Since Mr. Shuer is not around, they have to find a way to get the job done.
County government office.
When Hang Qi saw Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi again, he was confused. Did these two people have a grudge against him? Why did they appear again?
He did not forget the more than one thousand taels of silver he had spent.
"Sir, I heard you were looking for me." Lin Xi now discovered that Hang Qi was not scary at all. Although he was sent here to deal with them, he had not come up with any powerful moves so far. Instead, he was defeated by him.
Hang Qi's mouth twitched, "What is your relationship with Shuer Academy?"
"It's hard to say." Lin Xi blinked, looking innocent.
Hang Qi took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry with this woman. "When Shuer Academy was opened, it did not go through the registration procedures at all. Did you know that?"
Lin Xi was stunned and looked at Xiao Yongyan. He really didn't know what the reporting procedures were.
Just when Lin Xi was confused, he heard the official's voice again, "Sir, Gu Songtao is here."
The officer pushed Gu Songtao over and Lin Xi looked at him in astonishment. Gu Songtao's steps were heavy and Xiao Yongyan's face looked vaguely ugly.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Lin Xi asked with a cold face.
Hang Qi finally regained some of his dignity as a local official. "You scholars, you set up schools as you wish, but have you reported it? You collect tuition fees as you wish, but have you paid taxes?"
Gu Songtao's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, "Sir, we don't have such rules here."
