Chapter 106 The County Lord's Favorite
Xie Yan said: "There is a blood-activating and blood-dissolving ointment on my carriage. Please apply it to Brother Sandong first."
Li Sandong said: "Thank you very much, sir."
Several people walked to the carriage, and Shen Yu handed the medicine to Li Sandong.
Xie Yan took out the teapot from the carriage and walked to Li Wanyue: "Wash your hands, so as not to choke on the chili powder."
Li Wanyue smiled. This guy is quite attentive.
She stretched out her hand, Xie Yan poured water for her, washed off the dust on her hands, and took a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
Li Wanyue shook her hand and refused: "No, I'll do it later."
She didn't return his handkerchief the last time she used it, so how could she use it again?
Xie Yan: "This handkerchief has never been used. Please wipe it. In case it is not cleaned thoroughly and there are nail residues, it may hurt your eyes again."
Li Wanyue: ...
Is this person's handkerchief disposable?
She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and waved it at him: "Thank you, I brought it."
Since she used his handkerchief last time, she bought two handkerchiefs, which are equivalent to tissues and should be carried with her.
Xie Yan took back the handkerchief without changing his expression.
Li Wanyue said: "I used your handkerchief last time, I will return it to you next time."
"Okay." Xie Yan responded, and then said: "I was in a hurry just now, I hope you can forgive me for my impoliteness."
Li Wanyue shook her head indifferently: "I know, you bravely helped us, I should thank you."
Xie Yan said without hesitation: "Then I'll go and watch the transplanting of potato seedlings in a few days. You can cook a meal to thank me."
Li Wanyue: ...
Are you so rude?
She nodded and said, "We don't have anything to do here. You and Mr. Shen can go and do your work. We have delayed you for some time."
Xie Yan shook his head: "No, just now you asked why we were here. My grandparents live in Qingshi Town. I came to visit them. When I passed by here, I heard the fighting and came to help. I didn't expect it was you."
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Master, for being so kind."
Li Sandong stepped forward and reminded: "Sister, let's go quickly, Dad and the others are probably waiting."
Shen Yu glanced at him from the side, what a tactless guy.
"Okay." Li Wanyue responded: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Shen, we'll leave first."
Watching the two turn around and leave, Shen Yu said, "Next time I will drag that tactless Sandong away and let you spend more time with Miss Wanyue."
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Yan turned around and got on the carriage.
Shen Yu: Saying one thing and thinking another.
He walked up the carriage road and asked, "Isn't that Mr. Qian the one you've been investigating these days? How are you going to deal with those people?"
"Lock him up first."
Xie Yan placed the teapot in the secret compartment inside the carriage. The Qian family, the chief clerk and the county magistrate were all in the same boat.
Only after bringing them to justice can he manage Anping County.
Thinking of Li Wanyue's family, he took out pen and ink from the secret cabinet and wrote a few words on the paper.
Ask the coachman to drive the carriage to the vicinity of Qian's house.
Xie Yan took out a small crossbow and shot the paper at the gate of Qian's mansion.
The gatekeeper heard the noise, opened the door, saw the short arrow on the door, and was so scared that he closed the door immediately.
After a while, when he heard no more sound, he carefully opened the door, took out the short arrow, and hurried to the main courtyard.
On the other side, Li Wanyue and her brother arrived at the town entrance, where Li Youshan and Li Dachuan were already waiting.
Zhao Suying noticed the bruises on Li Sandong's face and asked worriedly, "What happened to Sandong?"
Li Sandong shook his head: "Mom, it's nothing. I just went to look at shops with my sister. There was a shabby shop that was too messy. I accidentally fell and hit the table leg."
This was something he and his sister had discussed; they couldn't let their family members worry.
"You are such an adult, but you are still so clumsy. By the way, how do you think the shop is?"
Li Wanyue said, "Mom and Dad, you must be hungry. There is a noodle shop next door. Let's go eat something and talk while we eat."
Everyone agreed that if it were in the past, they would definitely not be willing to spend the money, but now that they had money, they had nothing to be reluctant about just having a bowl of noodles.
Near the town gate, a noodle shop set up a few tables under a big tree, and everyone ordered a bowl of noodles to eat.
Li Wanyue sat at the same table with Li Youshan and his wife. She said, "I've picked out a shop and have already paid half of the money. I'll pay the other half in half a month. I'll come and clean it tomorrow."
Li Youshan said, "You have a good eye. The shop you like must be good. You can rest at home tomorrow. Dachuan and I will clean it up."
"I was idle at home, so I came to see how to arrange and display the goods. Besides, we also need two sets of containers for the store. Uncle Dafa is busy working in the county, so I ordered two sets in town." Li Wanyue smiled and changed the subject: "Dad, what about the bricks?"
"The owner of the brick factory looked at your drawings and said that you want to build many houses on a large site. If you use blue bricks, it will cost at least 70 or 80 taels of silver, and more than 100 taels.
Including tiles and other things, we need to add another twenty taels. We can first order 20,000 bricks. It will take a month to bake all 20,000 bricks. Right now, they have bricks ordered by others to make. If we want them now, they can only give us 200 bricks a day. "
Li Wanyue nodded: "Then let's set a price of 20,000 yuan with them and let them do it when they are free. The land we bought has not been cleared yet, and the foundation has not been laid, so let's lay the foundation first."
"good."
The other table was also chatting: "Big brother, second brother, how is the enrollment going?"
Li Dachuan said: "It's done. All the necessary items have been prepared. We can go to the academy in two days."
Li Sandong smiled and looked at the two of them: "Xiaokang and Xiaoan, tell your uncle what you want, and I will buy it for you as a gift for your admission to school."
Li Kang replied: "Thank you, Uncle San, we have already bought them, no need to buy anymore."
Li An said: "Uncle San, I'm not greedy, I just want a string of candied haws."
Li Sandong rubbed Li An's head and said, "Okay, each of you will get a string of candied haws."
The group went home after dinner.
…
Mr. Qian from the Qian Mansion was still waiting for the bearded man to come back to report, but it was already afternoon and he still hadn't returned.
He frowned and asked, "Housekeeper, isn't Wang Hu back yet? Didn't he say that if he saw the Li family coming to town, it would be easy to catch her?"
The housekeeper said, "Not yet. I guess something has delayed him."
"He is just a weak woman, and he brought a few people with him. He has dragged on until now. He is getting more and more cunning and sly. When he comes back, you should give him a good beating. If he doesn't change, send him to the farm to farm."
"Yes, Master, don't be angry. No matter how lazy Wang Hu is, he will never ignore what you told him to do. I think he must have encountered something this time. I will send someone to find them right away."
"Um."
Half an hour later, two servants came to report.
"Master, we have searched everywhere, but there is no sign of Guard Zhao and his men."
"What? Where did he go?"
"I don't know. I have searched the town and there is no sign of Guard Zhao and his group."
"Let's look for it again."
The two servants left in response.
Mr. Qian frowned and said, "Butler, what do you think is going on?"
"Master, Wang Hu brought five people with him when he left the house. With so many people together, it should be possible that he couldn't be found. And he had no reason to hide. Could it be... that Li Wanyue had helpers behind the scenes?"
