Xing Yi pushed the door open and saw Han Xiao and the young master close together. The corners of her mouth twitched for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Xing Yi continued, "Master, there's news from the county town that something important has been lost from the magistrate's residence, and the city has been completely sealed off."
"Heh, lost something? He's the one who thought of that." Han Xiao took the handkerchief handed to him by Chuyi and wiped his hands.
"What is Zhang Shaoqi doing now?"
Xing Yi was speechless. Han Xiao asked Zhang Shaoqi obviously because he wanted to see Zhang Shaoqi's reaction when he learned that his confidant had been killed.
"Zhang Shaoqi is now searching the entire city for Qingyan. He's practically turned the entire county upside down."
"Qingyan is settled now, right?" Han Xiao frowned when he thought of Qingyan. When Black Hawk came over yesterday, he forgot to ask about Qingyan.
"Young Master Qingyan has been picked up by Black Hawk and should be safe for now."
"That's good. Xing Yi, keep watching them and see what they will do next."
"yes."
The young master looked at Han Xiao with curiosity and didn't even bother to paint.
The young master came up to Han Xiao and hugged his neck and said softly, "My husband, are you done with your work?"
Han Xiao took the young master's hand and rubbed him: "Well, we're done, let's continue painting. Where were you just now?"
Looking down, I saw that the painting on the desk had been stained with ink from some unknown source.
The person in the painting was Han Xiao, but now Han Xiao's face was splashed with ink.
The young master stuck out the tip of his pink tongue embarrassedly: "Hehe, didn't you see it just now? Husband, let me redraw it!"
"Okay, it's fine as it is without having to paint." Han Xiao picked up the unfinished painting and asked Chuyi to hang it up.
The young master's face turned red. How could his husband do this? He didn't even paint properly.
But seeing Han Xiao looking at the paintings on the wall with great interest and confusion, did he really like them that much?
Later, Zhang Shaoqi mobilized a large number of troops to search the entire county but failed to find Qingyan. In desperation, he could only return to the capital in disgrace with Zheng Chengyun's body.
In fact, he vaguely knew that it was Han Xiao or the Lu family who did it, but he had no evidence. Without Zheng Chengyun, it would be even more difficult for him to act rashly.
He was even afraid that this magical poison would suddenly fall on his body one day. This made Zhang Shaoqi nervous all day long, and all his meals had to be checked again and again.
So seeing that Qingyan was still not found, and even the Gu family had disappeared overnight, Zhang Shaoqi had no choice but to give up. For the sake of his own life, he did not dare to pursue Han Xiao and secretly took his people back to the capital.
Even when he returned, he didn't dare to explain to his father that it was he who had insisted on making some achievements in Qingping Town and killed the young master to please Queen Zhang.
Unexpectedly, he not only failed to kill the person but also lost Zheng Chengyun.
Han Xiao was in a good mood when he learned that Zhang Shaoqi had left. He immediately called Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran out to have a drink at Yipintang.
The Chen family's backer is County Magistrate He, and County Magistrate He's backer is Zhang Shaoqi. Now that Zhang Shaoqi has returned, the others are no longer a threat.
After being suppressed by the Ruan family, the Chen family can only lie dormant and dare not show up in public anymore. What's more, the conflict between Chen Jiabao and Han Zhang is enough to give them a headache.
But these are not things that Han Xiao is worried about. If they are not living well, that is exactly what Han Xiao wants.
For some reason, Lu Qingyun seemed a little dazed and his face looked a little bad.
Han Xiao saw it and asked, "What's wrong? Shouldn't we be happy that Zheng Chengyun is dead?"
Lu Qingyun came back to his senses: "Oh... Oh, nothing, I'm just a little tired recently..."
Then he looked at Han Xiao awkwardly, not knowing whether he should tell Han Xiao about this.
His father Lu Ming has been worried to the point of going bald recently. His first reaction was to ask Han Xiao for help, but Lu Ming stopped him because the matter was of great importance. Han Xiao was just a businessman, and too much contact would inevitably bring trouble to himself.
Seeing that Lu Qingyun was hesitant to speak, Han Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand: "What's the matter? We have been brothers for such a long time, what is there to be embarrassed about?"
"Oh no, I just don't know whether I should tell you."
Han Xiao knew immediately that something must have gone wrong with Chu Jing.
"Tell me about it?"
Lu Qingyun hesitated and told the story again. It was nothing, just that Chu Jingjin decided to participate in the fight for the throne, and money was indispensable.
But at present, Lu Ming is the only one who has money under Chu Jinglin, so now is a critical moment and he is spending more than he earns.
"That's it? The sugarcane should be ripe for sugar production by now."
Lu Qingyun nodded, but this was not enough.
"Well, I have another idea that may be able to solve the Third Young Master's current predicament, but I wonder if the Third Young Master dares to do it?"
"What?" Lu Qingyun sat up straight.
Han Xiao gestured to Lu Qingyun to look at the food on the table: "What do you think of the salt now..."
Before Han Xiao could finish his words, Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran wanted to cover his mouth.
Salt has always belonged to the government in every dynasty, and selling salt privately is a serious crime.
Han Xiao pulled their hands apart and said, "What are you thinking? I mean, I have a recipe that can produce a large amount of fine salt. Perhaps the Third Young Master can cooperate with the Emperor?"
Hearing Han Xiao's wild idea, the two looked at each other with wide eyes. Can they do this?
Han Xiao could actually think of cooperating with the emperor.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.
"What recipe? Is it okay..." Lu Qingyun touched his head embarrassedly.
"I'll write it to you later. The specific steps to take are up to you. I won't get involved in this kind of thing."
Lu Qingyun looked at Han Xiao with gratitude. Their Lu family and the third young master were tied to the same boat.
Han Xiao is willing to help without asking for anything in return, he is simply the God of Wealth of the Lu family.
Now Lu Qingyun had no mood to drink anymore. Han Xiao had no choice but to take the two of them back and write down the recipe for sea salt for Lu Qingyun.
Han Xiao gave him not only sea salt, but also the purification of mineral salt. These were a piece of cake for Han Xiao.
Moreover, Han Xiao didn't think he could get involved in something like salt, so he might as well do the Third Young Master a favor.
After Lu Qingyun went back, Ruan Xiuran was about to leave. Han Xiao patted Ruan Xiuran on the shoulder and said, "Go play with Ruanruan for a while. He hasn't been home for a few days and he misses you too."
Ruan Xiuran thought about it and agreed, so he followed Han Xiao to find Ruanruan.
Ruanruan was swinging with Han Yuer in the yard. The swing was made by Han Xiao himself. The young master would come over to play for a while when he had nothing to do.
Han Yuer and her child also like it very much, so this swing basically became a base for the two of them.
Seeing the happy faces of the two, big and small, Han Xiao's expression also softened.
