Chapter 240 Beware

The night was dark, but Ning Mo had not yet rested. A separate small courtyard was not only well-decorated, but also no one was left to serve him.

Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted to arrange a few smart maids, but Ning Mo took her maid and said that she didn't need it.

In this way, Mrs. Liu had no time to say anything and directly asked her to retreat.

How do you say that? You must make the county magistrate feel at home. Some things that you say you don’t need to be, but you really don’t need them.

So now it is very convenient to enter and exit the yard on Monday, and you are not afraid of being discovered at all.

"Girl, Zhang Tongzhi has found someone to test the medicine." said Monday.

"Where is the Liu family? Has the wife asked someone to test the medicine?" Ning Mo asked.

"Yes, the wife of the Liu family has also found someone, and they did not report to the Prime Minister Liu."

Speaking of this, Zhou Monday felt that Ning Moli was particularly good, because Ning Mo said before that the wife is in charge of the family and the prefect Liu can reach this day thanks to this wife.

He didn't believe it before. How could a prefect rely solely on women?

Now it seems that it is really a pity that this lady is not a man, otherwise her position would definitely be higher than that of Prefect Liu.

However, this prefect is also capable, and he is very good at judging cases outside. It's just one thing, he is not proficient in human relationships and worldly affairs. So he has to take care of all this with his wife, otherwise how could this prefect Liu have such a generous life?

"It depends on who is faster now." Ning Mo said.

"But my subordinates think that even if they are sent to the ointment, they may not be able to be promoted. They will spend 10,000 taels for an illusory possibility. Is this really worth it?"

Zhou Monday really doesn’t understand. With this spirit, isn’t it good for them to do something practical? Just like his young master.

"You will definitely be promoted. You don't understand how powerful my ointment is, and you don't understand what love for your son is. When you become a father, you will know."

Monday:...It feels a little heartbroken.

But the girl always speaks right, and he just waits to see what the result is.

The girl said that Mrs. Liu would send ointment without telling her, so he would see if this was the result.

However, the next day, Monday subverted his perception, and Ning Mo held Mrs. Liu's hand with a sincere look on his face and said, "I'm a guest at your home, and you gave me a silver note. How can I bear it? Is the lady annoyed me?"

Ning Mo said this, and her face was full of sadness. How could that be possible!

"It's not like this. I know that your ointment is precious. It's really uneasy to take it like this for nothing."

Even though she said so, Mrs. Liu no longer mentioned the money. Ning Mo smiled faintly. This lady was a smart person.

"I'm not short of this little money. I just feel uncomfortable. Some people are too arrogant. For example, the Zhang family is just a small co-minister, so they show off their power. I think they don't take the prefect seriously in their daily lives.

Although I was willing to raise the price for this auction, I would rather spend 10,000 taels to buy the ointment, but I don’t know why.

And that Miss Zhang, where did she get the confidence? She could get ten thousand taels at one move. I was really curious about what the Zhang family was from. What kind of money-making business is this Lord Zhang holding in his hands."

Ning Mo's plausible words made Mrs. Liu grab the handkerchief in her hand.

Yes, what is the purpose of this Zhang family? Where did they get the money?

Master Liu didn't care about these things, but she had to think about it more, look at Ning Mo, and then gritted her teeth and said, "This Zhang family is not a big family, but it is said that Lord Zhang is very good at doing business, and he has made sure to make a profit in the business and has done over the years."

"Oh, an official is actually good at doing business. He should go to the Ministry of Revenue. Why did he become a Tongzhi?"

Ning Mo said and took a sip of tea, then looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "This so-called mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I look at Zhang Tongzhi, afraid that he is not willing to surrender to others. He will not be unfavorable to Lord Liu, right?"

This was even more frightening to Mrs. Liu. She hadn't thought so much before, but she just wanted to give favors, but she forgot that her family and Zhang family had ointments. So what would the Zhang family do? Will she think they were a threat?

Before, the Zhang family was domineering, but now? Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu was a little unable to sit still.

Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still and left, but Monday understood Ning Mo's words. Mrs. Liu would definitely act, and soon.

Of course this is soon. Who dares to be unhappy if you scare this way?

Sure enough, before noon, Mrs. Liu's men set off. Not only did they set off, but they also brought a car of things.

The local specialties mentioned are to give some things to the capital’s parents during the Chinese New Year. This statement is somewhat unconvincing. After all, the romance gifts that should be given before the New Year are given, so how can I give them after the New Year?

Of course, it is not easy to find this excuse in a hurry, so the person who delivered the goods left in a hurry.

However, after Zhang Tongzhi learned about this news, he frowned fiercely, and then gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and his subordinates left quickly.

...

While playing chess with the eldest lady of the Liu family, Ning Mo thought to himself that the day should be almost done.

Sure enough, when Ning Mo lost three consecutive sets and the eldest lady of the Li family racked her brains to lose to Ning Mo but couldn't succeed, news came.

Ning Mo saw the pale face of the eldest lady of the Liu family, and didn't ask anything. She just looked at Zhou Monday, and Zhou Monday nodded to Ning Mo.

The eldest lady of the Liu family was a little scared. She didn't expect that the Zhang family would be so arrogant. It is said that the robbers gave them were kidnapped by bandits.

They sent three people to follow the escort agency and actually encountered the robber!

Although the escort agency finally came back with their people and caught two robbers, their things were burned by fire.

"Mother, they must have been instructed!" said the eldest lady of the Liu family.

"You can't talk nonsense! Be careful, there are ears in the wall!" Mrs. Liu said, she was also afraid now. What Ning Mo said before sounded in her ears again.

The Zhang family didn't know where to make money. The Zhang family was very domineering. The Zhang family was afraid that they would not be willing to surrender. Will they attack Lord Liu?

Even though she had never attacked them directly, Mrs. Liu didn't believe such a coincidence. She thought it must be done by the Zhang family.

She told Lord Liu this idea, even if Lord Liu was upright, he couldn't help but think too much.

Although he was angry that his wife secretly gave gifts without telling him, he was not a stubborn person, so he naturally understood that Mrs. Liu was for his own good.

He couldn't help but wonder, was it really what the Zhang family did, Lord Zhang was so crazy? He just wanted his position as the prefect?

Lord Liu doesn’t understand. With Lord Zhang’s qualifications, it’s a matter of time before he becomes the prefect. Why should this person be anxious?
