The matter of the shop has been temporarily settled.
A few days later, the imperial court finally sent someone.
Although the emperor was furious because Li Gaoyi had sent people to damage the rice seedlings, he only dismissed the man from his post.
Lin Chengyi sent men to bring Li Gaoyi out of prison.
His Majesty's decree was read aloud to the public.
Li Gaoyi never expected that the higher-ups would place all the blame on him.
Without his official position, his family members were now under the control of his superiors.
Li Gaoyi could only blame Nan Zhi for everything; if it weren't for her, he would have been promoted based on this achievement.
He walked out of the county government office looking dejected.
Zhang Hongfu looked at him and said, "Sir, should we have someone follow us?"
The dismissal of an official should not be underestimated, after all, the person in question was once a member of the imperial court.
There must be some powerful force behind it.
Lin Chengyi looked at him leisurely and sneered, "An official who has been dismissed by the Emperor himself, would anyone above still want him?"
This person's actions led to his downfall, as the current emperor places great importance on agriculture.
He finally managed to get a Nan Zhi, but he just had to go looking for a beating.
It's already a relief that they weren't executed.
Nanzhi learned of this result from the system.
“Master, this man is narrow-minded. Now that he is unemployed, he will surely hold a grudge. Master, you must be careful.”
Nan Zhi was busy planning the milk tea shop and said nonchalantly, "Isn't there you? If you work a little harder, won't I be safe, Master?"
Nanzhi thought that when she got back, she would teach the two wolf cubs a good lesson and then take them with her.
"Go back and train the wolf cubs so they can protect me in the future."
Cherry: "Master, do you want everyone in the county to move out en masse?"
Nanzhi: "..."
As Nan Zhi was thinking, Pei Nanqing pushed open the door and came in.
"Why are you here too?" Nanzhi asked curiously.
He was just being chased, and now he's showing up in the county town so openly. Isn't he afraid that his pursuers will come looking for him and try to assassinate him?
Pei Nanqing seemed a little reserved when he entered the room. "Nanzhi, I want to talk to you."
Nanzhi raised an eyebrow slightly. "What do you want to talk about?"
Pei Nanqing placed a jade pendant on Nanzhi's table. "This is proof of my status as the young master of the Pei family. I need you to escort me back to the capital."
Nanzhi, who was about to take the jade pendant, suddenly pulled her hands back.
The jade pendant is translucent and has a fine texture without any flaws. Nanzhi liked it at first sight.
But that doesn't mean she didn't care about her own life.
“The skill that killed you that day was extremely high. If you hadn’t been lucky enough to run into us, you might not have been able to escape.” Nan Zhi confessed, “And these people, I can’t beat them.”
Pei Nanqing seemed to have anticipated this, "If you help me, I will ask my father to help you later."
He paused, then added, "And your husband."
Nanzhi stopped drawing.
"Oh?" She looked at the other person. "What good is my husband? My husband and I are just a village girl and a hunter. We have no ability to deal with those assassins."
Pei Nanqing looked out the door: "If I'm not mistaken, most of the people at the Number One Pavilion under Heaven are from military backgrounds. Your husband must be extraordinary to be able to gather so many people in one place."
Nan Zhi put down her pen and said with interest, "They are all veterans who were wounded on the battlefield. I just felt sorry for them and let them work in the restaurant."
“No,” Pei Nanqing said, “these people are definitely not from ordinary military camps. Although you have merits, you cannot gather so many people at once, so only your husband can do it.”
Nan Zhi's smile vanished. She stood up and walked to his side. "So, what do you want?"
Pei Nanqing: "I just want to go back to the capital."
Nan Zhi said dangerously, "I can kill you within two breaths."
Pei Nanqing thought he had something on the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to do this.
Finally, he said, "As long as you can help me get back, I will help your husband."
"Why should I believe you? Just because of that broken jade pendant? I can make something like that anytime."
Pei Nanqing looked at the woman opposite him in surprise, thinking of how terrifying Song Hanyan was, which was why he had come to Nanzhi to talk to her.
Unexpectedly, this woman, who appeared harmless, was actually quite cunning.
But thinking about the news she had told him before, Pei Nanqing became even more restless.
It doesn't matter that he's injured, but he has a younger sister.
If her stepmother were to harm her, it would be too late.
"What do you want?" Pei Nanqing clenched his hands.
Nanzhi took a bottle of medicine out of her pocket.
"I'm sure you know my medical skills are superb, but I also want to tell you that my poisons are quite potent." She shook the bottle.
The dark liquid inside the bottle sloshed around, with bubbles slowly rising.
Pei Nanqing gritted his teeth, snatched the medicine from Nanzhi's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Before Nanzhi could stop him, the other person had already swallowed it.
"Is this okay?"
Nan Zhi, mimicking the vicious female supporting character in palace dramas, smiled and said, "Of course, young master is very generous."
"This poison takes effect in two months. Come to me for the antidote then."
Pei Nanqing gripped his wine glass tightly: "What if it flares up?"
Nan Zhi: "Ten thousand insects pierce the heart, causing death by pain."
"Thank you!" Pei Nanqing gritted her teeth and said these two words, smashed the cup on the ground, and then left.
"Oh dear, what a spendthrift! This cup cost five taels of silver!"
Nanzhi looked at the broken porcelain shards on the ground, her heart breaking.
It's fine for rich people to be capricious, but don't take advantage of their things.
Nanzhi decided that she would make sure that all of these things were returned, not a single one left behind.
Song Hanyan came out from behind the screen. "Zhizhi, don't pick it up. Be careful not to hurt your hand."
