The lady who was first praised by Sheng Qingyuan for her neat poems smiled and waved to Sheng Qingyuan and said: "Come on, girl, just come and sit here, my place is spacious!"

Mrs. Liu: "…………"

I have seen people who have no eyesight, but I have never seen such people who have no eyesight!!

Mrs. Su next to her just covered her mouth and laughed at first. Mrs. Liu glared at her when she heard the noise. Now Mrs. Su opened her hands and laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mrs. Liu: "…………"

There must be something wrong with this person’s brain!

The others looked at her strangely.

Mrs. Song, who had just invited Sheng Qingyuan to sit down, couldn't help but look over curiously.

"It's okay, it's okay. On such a happy day, it's good to smile more, Mrs. Liu, don't you think so?" Mrs. Su specifically asked Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words: "This is natural!"

The dinner continued. When a maid poured tea for Sheng Qingyuan, she accidentally spilled the tea on Sheng Qingyuan's clothes. "Madam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Madam, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Liu's lips curved slightly, "Why are you so careless? Why don't you take Mrs. Shen to change quickly?"

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Shen, please come this way." The maid said to Sheng Qingyuan anxiously.

Sheng Qingyuan gave Mrs. Liu a meaningful look.

Mrs. Liu did not dare to meet her eyes and looked away hastily.

It wasn't until Sheng Qingyuan left the banquet that Mrs. Liu looked at Sheng Qingyuan again, her eyes darkening slightly.

The banquet, which was originally very lively, suddenly became quiet for a while after everyone saw Shen Zhao appear.

Most people present didn't quite recognize him.

Liu Beichuan stood up, walked to Shen Zhao's side with a loud smile, and said in a loud voice: "Let me introduce to you, this is Shen Xiucai. You may not have any impression of it, so let me rephrase it and maybe everyone will know that he is Zhuxinfang Shopkeeper Sheng’s man.”

"Oh~ It turns out to be shopkeeper Sheng's husband. I'm so disrespectful, hahahaha."

"I wonder where Mr. Shen is serving as an official now?"

"Hey, what kind of official can a scholar be? Are you drunk and stupid?"

Liu Beichuan listened to everyone's words, the smile on his lips deepened a little, and he raised his voice and said: "Everyone, it is quite difficult for us Shen Xiucai. After all, in a rural village, it is already very good to be able to recognize two characters. Well, Shen Xiucai also took the exam to become a scholar, which is very impressive."

After Liu Beichuan finished speaking, everyone laughed even louder.

"Yes, yes, the scholar is very powerful, very powerful hahahaha!"

"It's true, it's not easy in rural villages, hahaha."

Seeing everyone's ridicule, Liu Beichuan was very satisfied. He looked embarrassed and said helplessly to Shen Zhao: "I'm really sorry. That's just how they are. They don't mean any harm. Don't take it to heart."

Shen Zhaofeng was calm and calm, with a slight calm smile on his face and said: "Of course I won't take it to heart. It's like you were walking on the road and were barked twice by some vicious dogs. Do you still have to stop and yell back? ?」

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of those who had been laughing loudly just now suddenly froze.

"Shen Zhao, what do you mean? You called us dogs?!"

Shen Zhao innocently said: "This is what you said, I never said that."

"you!"

The more calm Shen Zhao was and was not affected by these words, the darker Liu Beichuan's face became.

Liu Beichuan accused: "Shen Zhao, why are you doing this? These are all the adults in Fushou City. I invited you here today for the sake of getting acquainted. I thought you would attend in a few days. The scientific examination can be regarded as a path for you, how can you talk like this?"

"Today's young people are so confident, thinking that they are still young and can change everything. Little do they know that most people are just too ambitious and end up with nothing." A middle-aged man said with disdain.

"It's just that today's young people don't know how to be modest at all. Sooner or later they will be taught a lesson by reality."

Liu Beichuan was very satisfied with what these people said and said to everyone in a conciliatory manner: "Okay, okay, let's take a seat first."

Everyone stopped for a moment, but their eyes looked at Shen Zhao as if they were preparing to watch some good show, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Liu Beichuan patted Shen Zhao on the shoulder like an old man and said to him: "It's a good thing to have confidence. Maybe it will happen?"

That's what he said, but Liu Beichuan's eyes were full of disdain for him.

There are so many people taking part in the imperial examination every time, how many people can get the ranking?

Not to mention becoming the number one pick, that is almost impossible.

Shen Zhao is just a country scholar, and if he can win the exam, he is already burning a lot of incense.

Shen Zhao glanced at him indifferently, pretending that he couldn't tell his disdain, "Then I'll lend you some good words."

Liu Beichuan curled his lips and smiled, but he was complaining: I really don't know if he is really stupid or pretending to be innocent, since I really think he is trying to comfort him.

At tonight's dinner, Shen Zhao seemed to be a person who really came to the banquet to eat. He didn't care at all that other people didn't bother to talk to him. He just ate and drank when he should.

The way he looked made anyone who deliberately wanted to see his joke feel like they were holding back their breath. It was very uncomfortable to be unable to go up or down. It was also like a punch on cotton, which made people extremely depressed.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Liu Beichuan and silently asked him what they should do?

Before coming, they received a vague reminder from Liu Beichuan's entourage, and when Shen Zhao arrived, they would sarcastically mock him to their heart's content, making him angry and excited...

But he was like a man without a temper. He couldn't seem to be angry at all in the face of their cynicism.

What a weirdo.

Liu Beichuan shook his head slightly, looked at Shen Zhao who was eating from time to time, and snorted coldly.

Eat, eat, the more you eat, the faster you will die.

Halfway through the dinner, a boy came over in a hurry and said to Liu Beichuan in panic: "Sir, it's not good, the backyard, the backyard..."

Liu Beichuan's eyes quickly flashed with joy, and he asked with an unhappy look on his face: "Do you still understand the rules? How is it appropriate to yell like this!!"

The boy said in fear: "Sir, someone is dead in the backyard!"

"What?" Liu Beichuan stood up in surprise, "How can someone die if you are doing well?"

The boy looked at Shen Zhao cautiously and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I was fine at first. After Mrs. Shen went to change her clothes, just..."

I didn’t continue what I said next, but everyone already understood what it meant.

Liu Beichuan frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? Do you mean that Mrs. Shen killed someone? Who?"

The boy said, "It's the old lady who lives in the first house on East Street."

Liu Beichuan was really confused this time. Who is this?

He left all the matters concerning Sheng Qingyuan in the backyard to Mrs. Liu.

Many people present knew: "Oh, that old lady, she has been in Fushou City for several years, but she doesn't seem to have seen much of her family. I only know that she seems to be from the capital. My family must be pretty awesome."

"Yes, yes, you are not an ordinary person who can buy the first house on East Street." Others agreed.

Liu Beichuan put his eyes on the prefect and asked silently.

The prefect shook his head. He really didn't know who the old lady was, but judging from her words and deeds, she should be an old lady from a wealthy family in the capital.

"Human life is at stake. Let's go and take a look quickly. We can't delay the matter." Liu Beichuan said with a serious look on his face.

The prefect said to Shen Zhao: "This matter has something to do with Mrs. Ling. Mr. Shen, please stay here for a while."

Shen Zhao looked calm and said, "Okay."

Everybody together

Go to the backyard.

Liu Beichuan came together with the prefect and asked him in a low voice: "Is it true that you don't know the identity of that old lady at all?"

The prefect shook his head and said: "I really don't know. No one has seen what her family looks like. Every time her family comes, the carriage goes directly to the house. But looking at her posture, I'm afraid that the people in the capital The official position shouldn’t be too small.”

Liu Beichuan nodded with satisfaction.

If Sheng Qingyuan kills the old lady of an important official's family in the capital, then Sheng Qingyuan will not be able to die even if he wants to, and Shen Zhao will have to finish it off, and it will be easier for him to deal with Shen Zhao.

Sheng Qingyuan didn't show any panic on her face when she faced the situation happening in front of her.

At this moment, she was performing acupuncture next to the old lady, and Xuan Yu stood next to Sheng Qingyuan, not allowing anyone to get close.

Mrs. Liu was still there and said: "Sheng Qingyuan, don't fight to the death anymore. You should just surrender and let the doctor come and bury the old lady. She is already dead. How can you not let her rest in peace?" Can you be so cruel?"

"Mrs. Shen, what is the grudge between you and this old lady? You actually didn't even let such an old lady off. What a sin." Mrs. Su said with a heartbroken expression.

Mrs. Song frowned slightly, "Mrs. Shen and the old lady probably didn't know each other before, and I think with Mrs. Shen's temperament, she shouldn't be able to do such a cruel thing."

Mrs. Liu sneered and said: "Yes? Now that the facts are before our eyes, you still want to defend her. Are you an accomplice with her?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song immediately said: "How is this possible?! I just think Mrs. Shen has a gentle personality, and her Yixintang has helped so many people. How could she do such a cruel thing."

Mrs. Liu does not intend to let it go easily, "Maybe this is just a false mask she used to hide it, and now it is her true face.

What are you doing here? Why don't you arrest her quickly and hand her over to the prefect for punishment?!"

After Mrs. Liu gave the order, the servants immediately stepped forward to take Sheng Qingyuan away, but as soon as they got close, they were immediately thrown out by Xuan Yu.

Xuan Yu's speed was so fast that they didn't even see clearly what Xuan Yu did, and all the boys were thrown out.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Everyone knew that Sheng Qingyuan hired a group of guards with very high martial arts skills, but they didn't expect that the guards who followed her had such high martial arts skills!

Liu Beichuan, who came in a hurry, came to the backyard and happened to see this scene. He was very surprised by it. He looked at Sheng Qingyuan with a deep look and said to Shen Zhao next to him: "I didn't expect that your people's martial arts can be so good." At such a high level, even the secret guards of wealthy families in the capital may not have such martial arts."

Shen Zhao smiled lightly and said, "It's because of my madam's ability that we can recruit so many people with strong martial arts skills to protect our safety."

Liu Beichuan's eyes darkened for a moment and he fell into deep thought.

If Sheng Qingyuan can really invite so many powerful masters, will it be more difficult for him to kill Shen Zhao?

She turned her head and glanced at him again.
