Duke Zhen Guo glanced outside the mansion, and then gave Butler Yue a look. Butler Yue immediately supported Li Zhuang and quickly entered the Duke's mansion.

"I went to report to the official, but it was useless... They were too slow. That Zou Heng robbed my mother-in-law. She is a weak woman. Please save her." Li Zhuang kept kowtowing, his tears and blood mixed with each other.

together.

"Who is Zou Heng?" The Duke of Zhen Guo rarely asked about world affairs, so naturally he didn't know this person.

But it was Butler Yue. He thought about it and asked Li Zhuang, "Is he Xia Cong's brother-in-law?"

"Xia Cong's brother-in-law?" Duke Zhen was confused.

"Xia Cong has an aunt who was brought out from the brothel. The aunt has a younger brother, Zou Heng. When the old slave goes out to buy things, he often hears people talking about it." Butler Yue simply explained.

"You immediately take my token to find Jing Zhaoyin and get him back first." Duke Zhen Guo thought for a few seconds and immediately took out his token and handed it to Butler Yue.

Housekeeper Yue is not good at writing, so he will do whatever the Duke of Zhen Guo says.

Although the Duke's Mansion has no real power, luckily, Jing Zhaoyin does owe him a favor.

The Duke of Zhen moved quickly, and Li Zhuang knelt there with an expression that seemed both sad and joyful.

"I'll have someone take you to bandage your wound." Duke Zhen Guo had already called someone.

Li Zhuang kowtowed three times to Duke Zhen Guo.

"My lord, you...why..." Li Zhuang was desperate. He reported to the government and even sent some money he had saved, but no one paid any attention to him, and he was even beaten...

His mother-in-law had been taken away all morning, and he was like a headless fly with nowhere to find her.

But Duke Zhen Guo... actually agreed to help so decisively...

"Did A Bao also give you credit this morning?" Zhen Guogong suddenly asked Li Zhuang.

He heard from A Bao today that he had credited six companies, but Jiu Mao next door said that he only met five people at the door who came to ask for payment.

If he remembered correctly, when Abao ran back this morning, there was still a noodle hanging on his clothes...

Li Zhuang nodded, his voice hoarse: "She comes here often to eat, so just give her a bowl on credit."

"Today I will return the favor to you." Zheng Guo was fair.

Their children naturally have to borrow and repay.

Half an hour later, Butler Yue drove a carriage back with a weak young woman.

The woman had probably been tortured. There were marks on her wrists from being tied up, and there were a few bruises on her face.

"Xinghua!" As soon as he saw Butler Yue helping the young woman out of the carriage, Li Zhuang immediately rushed towards the woman.

Butler Yue allowed the couple to hug each other. He walked to the side of Zhen Guo Gong and said in a low voice: "I found him in the other courtyard in the west of the city. I would rather die than surrender. If I go later, I'm afraid... I will be beaten to death."

Already."

"Give them some money and send them away." Zheng Guo was fair.

Butler Yue nodded and went to do it immediately.

By the time Abao finished his studies, Li Zhuang and his wife were no longer in the Duke's mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and went to take the children to practice swordsmanship, as if the serious old man who was calm and observant just now did not exist.

Ah Bao really didn't know what happened in the afternoon. When he returned home from the Duke's Mansion after dinner, Ah Bao didn't even enter the house. He squatted beside the doorstep waiting for his mother to come back.

My mother has been busy with the restaurant and spice shop these days. She has been very busy. A Bao wants to wait for her mother to come home.

But Abao waited and waited, but didn't wait until Wang Chunniang came back.

When Zhao Heng came back with Zhao Xuan and Anping, Abao immediately ran towards Zhao Heng on his short legs: "Dad, my mother is not back yet!"

When Zhao Heng heard this, he looked at the sky. Usually at this time, Chun Niang would have gone home.

Jiumao caught Zhao Heng's look and immediately went to check.

"That's all, I'll go by myself." Zhao Heng got on the horse and was about to leave, but A Bao kept jumping beside the horse. He lowered his eyes, and with a fat squealing sound, he had already lifted A Bao onto the horse's back.

…

In a jewelry shop in the west of the city, Wang Chunniang passed by on her way home. Anping and Ah Xuan were about to go to school. She wanted to buy two jade pendants, so she came in to take a look.

As a result, after looking at it, people couldn't leave.

She hadn't even walked around for a while when all the doors of the jewelry store closed with a bang. When Wang Chunniang heard the noise and turned around, the curtain behind the counter was opened. A young man in his twenties walked out waving a fan.

Came out inside.

"This one looks pretty good and suits my liking." The man looked at Wang Chunniang carefully from top to bottom.

Wang Chunniang didn't like to wear any jewelry. She had a handsome appearance with a dash of heroism. When she heard the man's lewd laugh, not only was she not afraid, she even pulled up a chair and sat down calmly.

"What's your last name? Who is your father? Where do you live?" Wang Chunniang sat lazily on a chair and asked the young man in a lazy voice.

In just a moment, Wang Chunniang became the main guest.

Young man: "??" Which one of them is the gangster??

"Is he a mute?" Wang Chunniang sat on a chair and tapped her fingers on the table. If anyone familiar with the couple was here at this time, they would find that Wang Chunniang's current state was almost exactly the same as that of Zhao Heng, who was about to go crazy.

"Young master, I am not mute." The young man waved his fan and said in a rather oily tone: "Does Xia Cong, the Minister of War, know? That is my brother-in-law."

"I didn't ask your brother-in-law, I asked you, what's your name?" Wang Chunniang raised her eyes. Just such an upturned look made the man unable to help but feel a little excited.

"Young master, my name is Zou Heng, the domineering Heng." Zou Heng smiled, closed his fan and tried to lift Wang Chunniang's chin.

"Your sister just gave birth to a son?" Wang Chunniang asked quickly. After just one minute of conversation, she guessed that this person was definitely not Mrs. Xia's brother, but the woman Xia Cong raised outside.

's younger brother.

"How do you know? My sister has given birth to two sons for my brother-in-law. From now on, the Xia family will be..." Zou Heng smiled proudly.

"You want to make me happy today. You can choose one of the jewelry in this shop." Seeing Wang Chunniang suddenly stand up, Zou Heng stepped forward. When he spoke, his whole body was filled with the sticky smell of powder.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Wang Chunniang looked at Zou Heng and asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Zou Heng was confused.

Just when he stopped talking nonsense and reached out to attack Wang Chunniang, Wang Chunniang suddenly reached out and strangled Zou Heng's neck.
