"Could it be that Minister Jiang's concubine's eldest daughter was registered under her mother's name, becoming her legitimate daughter?"
Master Zhang frowned and guessed, "13 is the right age for engagement. Once the dowry is prepared, she should be married in two years."
“This is not right…”
Prefect Wen frowned and looked at Master Zhang, lost in thought.
Isn't this all a bit too coincidental?
Just as he was caught, Minister Jiang sent a letter asking for money.
He even suspected that Minister Jiang had surrendered to the emperor, betrayed him, and took advantage of the situation.
Now he wrote to ask for money and things, just to test whether he still has money.
As for the furniture-----
Magistrate Wen glanced at the tables, chairs and benches in the living room.
Is this asking him to pay tribute to the Wen family as well?
At this time, Master Zhang's brain was a little insufficient. Things kept happening one after another, and none of them were normal.
Prefect Wen thought for a long time.
"Come closer..."
Mr. Zhang put his ear close to Prefect Wen's mouth in confusion.
Listening to what Wen Zhifu said, Master Zhang's eyes widened, and finally he nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Let's go to Jiangnan."
Prefect Wen nodded and said, "Okay, go and make arrangements quickly."
Everyone in Danyun City thought that Master Zhang was a native of Danyun City.
In fact, he was the only one who knew that Master Zhang had a very hidden clan in Jiangnan.
That small village is hidden in the deep mountains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.
He knew what Master Zhang meant, and that place was indeed the best place for his family...

"Boss Shen, can we take a break before setting off again?"
Sun Ren lay half-dead on the ground, grabbing Chen Yong's trouser legs and begging pitifully.
Oh my god.
He felt like vomiting from climbing mountains these days. He was really exhausted.
Why can't I finish climbing this mountain?
Why aren't these women in the Shen family tired?
Who is the woman after all?
He finally caught up with Shen Yong, but before he could catch his breath, Shen Yong was about to set off again.
"Wuwu----" Zhang Tiezhu staggered and rushed forward crying.
He held onto Chen Yong's other leg tightly with both hands.
"Boss Shen, please let me have a bite of roast chicken. I'm really starving..."
Zhang Tiezhu cried so sadly.
He can endure hardship and fatigue, but he really can't stand starvation.
He hasn't eaten a single bite of meat since entering the mountains.
The key is that the aroma of meat lingers in his nose every day, and he can't help but smell it.
But the more I smelled it, the hungrier I became. It was really frustrating.
Chen Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the two people lying at his feet, looking as dirty as homeless people.
The strands of hair were tangled and hung loosely on their heads.
A foul smell rushed straight into Chen Yong's brain.
"let go!"
Chen Yong raised his head and took a deep breath, his eyes sweeping over the group of beggar-like people.
After three or four days in the mountains, the group's clothes were torn to shreds, and they all looked thin with sunken cheeks.
There was still light in their eyes before they entered the mountain, but now they all look tired and dull.
Zhang Wenyuan pursed his cracked lips, lifted his heavy legs, and took two steps towards Shen Yong.
He opened his mouth and a hoarse voice came out of it.
"Boss Shen, please rest for a while. I really can't hold on any longer."
He now truly admires everyone in the Shen family.
Look at him, he has climbed so many Tianshan Mountains, but he doesn’t feel tired at all, and his complexion is rosy and radiant.
Look at these palace guards carefully selected by the royal family. They are all like zombies, lying on the ground half-dead.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
This group of people are actually not as good as the women of the Shen family. It is true that we should not underestimate anyone, including women.
Ji Yongjia supported himself with a stick and stood up shakily.
His symmetrical handsome face has now become uneven.
Don’t ask why. The answer is that he was so hungry that he ate some wild grass and got poisoned.
"Please, Boss Shen, help us!"
Ji Yongjia said this with trembling lips and lowered his proud head.
This mountain is really weird.
No matter where Chen Yong rested, he could quickly catch prey, either pheasants or hares, and he had endless bird eggs and pheasant eggs to eat. There was also a constant supply of various wild fruits, which made him extremely envious.
They were already exhausted from the chase, so they took a quick breath and hurried to find food.
If you are lucky, you can catch a snake, but if you are unlucky, you can only pick some wild grass to eat.
Wild fruits can occasionally be seen on trees, but they really don’t have the energy to fly up the trees to pick them.
Several people worked together to shake down a few wild fruits, but there was only enough for each person to take a bite.
They had to travel for at least eight hours every day and they were really hungry.
As soon as Ji Yongjia said this, everyone knelt down and begged with sad faces.
"Please, Boss Shen, help us----"
"Please ask Boss Shen to give me something to eat. I'm really starving---"
"Please, Boss Shen, let us rest for one day. Just one day, no, half a day will do..."
“…”
.......
Old Madam Shen and her daughters-in-law stood behind Shen Yong, keeping their lips tightly closed and not saying a word.
These people looked quite pitiful, but they had not forgotten that they had come to hunt them down before.
It is impossible to ask them to plead for them.
They all rely on Lao Qi to live such a comfortable life in the mountains, so how could they add more burden to Lao Qi?
Shen Yong crossed his arms over his chest, his lazy eyes sweeping across everyone's faces.
His ears moved slightly, and it seemed that a group of large wild beasts were approaching this side in the distance.
"Okay, then let's rest for another two hours."
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled, then immediately agreed.
"This is deep in the mountains. If you want to find food, you must go with a companion."
Chen Yong looked at everyone who was relieved and kindly reminded them.
"Thank you, thank you, Boss Shen..."
"Thank you, Boss Shen, for your concern..."
Everyone thanked him excitedly and felt alive again.
Being able to rest for two hours is a blessing from heaven.
The Shen family eats and rests at a certain time every day. They seem to have plenty of time and plenty of leisure time.
But they were not so lucky.
The road in the deep mountains was really difficult to walk on. When they finally caught up with Shen Yong, the Shen family had already eaten and drunk enough and were ready to set off again.
They could only catch up after dark, and after less than two hours of rest, it was dawn and Chen Yong set off again...
Zhang Tiezhu opened his mouth excitedly with tears in his eyes.
"Boss Shen---I--can I have some roast chicken?"
