Zhao Fen glanced at Pinming, who was still wiping away tears.
"Alright, I will definitely handle this matter. As for how to settle this tea-tasting young lady?"
"Stay at my inn first. I've already sent someone to look for her family. We should have news from the capital in a few days. As for that Er Mazi, I'll leave him to you, sir."
"good."
Fang Qing bid farewell to Zhao Fen and returned to the inn, enjoying tea with him.
After a period of anxiety and fear, I ate a little something and went back to my room to sleep.
Back in her room, Fang Qing received Zhao Shi'an's letter as usual.
It was just some everyday talk.
Fang Qing thought for a moment and then told Zhao Shi'an about the tea tasting that day.
She had only intended to vent to Zhao Shi'an, but she didn't expect Xiao Liu to give Zhao Shi'an a detailed report of the matter.
Zhao Shi'an had just come out of the Hanlin Academy when he received the letter.
The Third Prince and Gao Wancheng had been looking for opportunities to make things difficult for him. A few days ago, a problem arose with the copying of an ancient book, and the blame was placed entirely on Zhao Shi'an, which led to the Crown Prince being impeached in court.
The Crown Prince secretly visited Zhao Shi'an, and in the end, Zhao Shi'an was only punished with a two-month salary reduction.

Therefore, the issue with the Gao family needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
After returning home, Zhao Shi'an summoned the manager of Fengyulou, who was in charge of intelligence in the capital.
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
The manager's surname was Luo. He was nominally the owner of Wan Hua Lou. He was in his thirties, handsome, and liked people to call him Uncle Luo.
"Gao Wancheng is careful in his actions, so it's not difficult to find something to hold against him. However, his sons are indeed useless, and we can still get some information from them."
Uncle Luo paused for a moment, then took out a few sheets of paper from his sleeve.
