“Boss, what do the officials say?” The wrinkles between Mr. Li's brows became clearer and his face was filled with sadness.
Everyone else behind him looked at Uncle Li with burning eyes. Even the mischievous Si Dan had a sullen expression on his face.
Uncle Li unloaded the bullock cart and said, "The officials have told me that they will come to check tomorrow."
"As long as they are willing to come." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and placed her hope on the government.
She clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly. She said with red eyes: "We must catch the person who harmed our family. We must catch him."
The old man has been working hard all year round, and his face looks old, with wrinkles spread across his face, which makes him look particularly pitiful.
Aunt Li gritted her teeth and said, "I can definitely do it! Once we catch the villain behind it and make him pay for it, and get the money back, we can raise it again."
But, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
What should I do with Sister Nian's shop?
Mr. Li was thinking, looked at his eldest son, and said in a worried tone, "Boss, I can't send fish anymore. What should I do with Sister Nian's grilled fish business?"
My granddaughter's shop is really bad. There are people waiting in line every day. It's closed for a whole day, so I don't know how much it's going to cost...
Thinking about this, the old man became very anxious.
Uncle Li: "Sister Nian said it's okay. At worst, we won't sell grilled fish these days. We'll wait until things go well for our family."
"How can everything be fine?" Mr. Li looked serious. "It's hard to get so many diners. It's OK to close the business for a day or two. But what if the business is closed for a long time and someone robs all the diners?"
As far as he knew, there was another grilled fish shop in the county. That shop was obviously opened after seeing that his granddaughter's grilled fish could make money.
If it weren't for Nian Jie'er's grilled fish being so delicious, we might have lost a lot of business.
Uncle Li is also worried. Yes, Sister Nian leads them to make money, and they can't hold back.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Dad, what do you think, we let the villagers go catch fish in the river and our family collects it?"
Mr. Li looked stunned.
It's not a bad idea.
Before the old man expressed his opinion, the eldest grandson of the Li family looked at Uncle Li and asked angrily: "Dad, do you want to lead the people in the village to make money? I don't agree! People in the village don't like our family, so what are you doing with them?!"
The other eggs are not willing either.
“I don't agree with that either!” Li Erdan pouted and said angrily, “If you don't take them, Dad, if you don't take them, they will laugh at our family.”
“That's right, don't take them with you!”
Uncle Li stopped a few noisy boys with one sentence, "Okay, I won't take anyone with me, not even Hua Zi."
Several boys from the Li family: “!!”
Hua Zi is their best friend. He is very loyal and helps them beat up those who gossip.
Li Erdan thought that he was also a loyal person, so he spoke for his friend, "Dad, Hua Zi is from our faction, he can take care of him."
“She formed gangs at a young age and didn't learn well.” Aunt Li glared at a group of boys.
“It's not just us who form cliques!” Li Erdan said angrily, “People form cliques. If we don't, we will be bullied to death.”
Aunt Li was a little angry and a little distressed.
“Pull, you must pull,” she said.
As long as the children are not bullied, let alone forming cliques or even hitting others and causing trouble, they are the parents behind them.
Li Erdan's eyes lit up, "Mom, will our family accept the fish from Hua Zi's family?"
Uncle Li is also a doting child and said: "Take it!"
Daddy is right, family affairs should not affect Nian Jie'er's business.
It is imperative to find people in the village to catch fish.
But you have to think clearly about who to find.
Li Erdan is a clever person. He rolled his eyes and said with a sly look on his face, "Dad, can I tell Hua Zi now?"
“...Yes.” Uncle Li said.
“I'll go now.” Li Erdan rushed out of the door. Hua Zi's mother is very good at growing vegetables. The cucumbers are crisp, juicy and taste great. If he sends the good news about making money, he will definitely get a few cucumbers to eat.
“I'll go too.” The other eggs followed.
Uncle Li and others looked confused.
Liu Guogong's people quickly found out about the eldest lady and immediately went to the county government office.
As soon as the county magistrate saw the token in his hand, he immediately thought of the fear of being dominated by the fat servant of Prince Rong's palace a few months ago.
The purpose of the man coming here was to let him catch the bad-mouthed and evil-hearted matchmaker.
If he remembered correctly, that man's grave is now very high.
What about this one today?
What's the matter?
The county magistrate is heartbroken.
The humble visitor bowed his hands slightly and asked, "I have met this lord. But the Duke of the country has something to do with his subordinates?"
"I need to trouble you, sir." Liu Bai said politely. Although there was no smile on his face, he was not arrogant at least.
County Magistrate: "What's the matter? As long as I can solve it, I will definitely share the worries for the Duke of the country."
“It's not difficult, I just want you to send someone to investigate the case in Lijiacun.”
The case of Lijiacun?
The county magistrate looked at the document diagonally behind him. The clerk stepped forward and reported to the Lord the circumstances and consequences of the case reported by someone in Lijia Village.
As soon as he said it, the county magistrate knew it.
This matter is a matter of sending someone, simple!
Looking at the people in the Duke's Mansion, he said, "I know this, and I will send someone there tomorrow."
“Okay, excuse me, sir.” Liu Bai stood up, said goodbye and left.
After his back disappeared, the clerk stroked his beard and said in confusion: "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, I feel very strange. It seems that since last year, our place has been deeply loved by the nobles of Zhongdu, and many famous people have come here. It's really weird…”
The county magistrate doesn't know either, but as the biggest government official in the entire county, can he show it? Of course not.
He had no choice but to say solemnly with a straight face: "Don't worry about so much! Everyone is in his own place and relieves the people's worries."
The clerk looked at him with admiration.
The county magistrate is really a decent person. With such a character, there is no need to worry about not being promoted.
“I really admire you, sir.”
County magistrate: “…”
I don't know what this man was thinking about, he just smiled mysteriously.
In fact, he also wants to know why there are so many big bosses in the county he manages...
It's simply terrifying!
Of course, this is an opportunity.
This means that if he works hard, he may have a chance to be promoted...?
With good expectations in mind, the county magistrate is full of energy.
Liu Bai, the guard captain of Liu Guogong's mansion, solved the Li family's troubles and rode back to the mansion.
The situation reported to Liu Guogong.
Not feeling that it would be a loss to care about such a trivial matter, Liu Guogong gave the order calmly.
“Send someone to keep an eye on Lijia Village and see what result Niannian wants. Whatever result she wants, let the county magistrate give the result to the Li family.”
"yes."
Liu Guogong asked again: "Have you heard any news from the people who are investigating Prince Yu's residence?"
"not yet."
“Well, you go down and have a rest.”
After taking some time to ask about the good girl, Liu Guogong continued to concentrate on his official duties.
Although he is not in Zhongdu, he still has a lot of things on his hands.
