Chapter 240 Vigilance
The night was dark, but Ning Mo hadn't rested yet. A separate small courtyard was not only well-arranged, but no one was left to take care of it.

Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted to assign a few clever maids, but Ning Mo brought the maids herself and said that she didn't need them.

In this way, Mrs. Liu couldn't say anything, and directly asked her own people to step down.

How did you say that?Must make the county owner feel at home.Some things, if you say you don't need them, you really don't need them.

So now it is very convenient to get in and out of this yard on Monday, and I am not afraid of being discovered at all.

"Girl, Zhang Tongzhi has asked someone to test the medicine." Zhou Yi said.

"Where's the Liu family? Has Madam asked someone to test the medicine?" Ning Mo asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Liu's family has also found someone, and they didn't tell the magistrate Liu."

Speaking of this, on Monday, I felt that Ning Mo was very powerful, because Ning Mo had said before that the wife is in charge of the house here, and it is thanks to this wife that Liu Zhifu can go today.

He didn't believe it before, if a magistrate only relied on women, how could it be possible!
Looking at it now, it is true, it is a pity that this lady is not a man, otherwise this position must be higher than Liu Zhifu.

However, this magistrate is also capable, and he is still very good at adjudicating cases outside, but he is not proficient in human affairs and the world.So all of these are taken care of by his wife, otherwise how could the prefect Liu have such a comfortable life.

"Now it depends on which of them is faster." Ning Mo said.

"But the subordinates feel that even if the ointment is delivered, they may not be able to be promoted. Is it really worthwhile to spend 1 taels for an illusory possibility?"

I really don't understand on Monday. With this spirit, wouldn't it be 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 is for a son. When you become a father, you will know."

Monday: ...feeling a little prickly.

But the girl was always right, so he just waited to see what the result would be.

The girl said that Mrs. Liu would give the ointment without telling Mr. Liu, so he just wanted to see if this was the result.

However, the next day, on Monday, I overturned my perception, and I saw Ning Mo holding Madam Liu's hand sincerely and saying: "I'm a guest at your house, and you gave me a bank note, how can I be embarrassed? Could it be that Madam despises me and annoys me?"

When Ning Mo said that, her face was full of sadness, how could it be possible!
"That's not the case. I know that your ointment is precious, so I don't feel at ease taking it for nothing."

Even though he said that, Mrs. Liu never said anything about giving Yinzi again, Ning Mo smiled lightly, this lady is a smart person.

"I'm not short of this money. I just don't feel comfortable with someone being too rampant. For example, Zhang's family is just a small co-prefect, so they show off their power. I think they don't take the magistrate in their eyes on weekdays.

In this auction, although I also intend to raise the price, I would rather spend 1 taels to buy the ointment, and I don't know why.

And that Ms. Zhang, where did she get the confidence to make a move of 1 taels? I'm really curious about the origin of the Zhang family.In the hands of this Master Zhang, what kind of profitable business is he holding on to? "

Ning Mo's specious words made Mrs. Liu grasp the handkerchief tightly.

Yes, what is this house for?Where did they get the money in their hands?

Liu Zhifu didn't care about these things, but she had to think more, looked at Ning Mo, then gritted her teeth and said: "This family is not a big family, but it is said that Mr. Zhang is very good at business, and the business he has done these years is not profitable. Lost."

"Oh, an official is actually good at doing business, so he should go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. How did he become a fellow acquaintance?"

Ning Mo said, took a sip of tea, then looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "This so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I think Zhang Tongzhi is not one who is willing to be inferior to others. He will not be harmful to Mr. Liu, right?"

This made Mrs. Liu even more frightened. She didn't think about it so much before, she just thought about giving favors, but she forgot that both her family and the Zhang family have ointment, so what will the Zhang family do?Would you consider them a threat?

The Zhang family was domineering before, what about now?Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still.

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

Of course it's going to be fast, who dares to be upset if you scare me like this.

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

Speaking of local specialties, I want to send something to my mother's family in the capital during the Chinese New Year.This statement is somewhat unconvincing. After all, the boxing gift that should have been given years ago, why should it be given after the next year?

Of course, it was not easy to find this excuse in a hurry, so the sender left in a hurry.

However, after Zhang Tongzhi found out about this news, he frowned fiercely, and then gave instructions to his subordinates, who left quickly.

……

While playing chess with Miss Liu's family, Ning Mo thought in her heart, counting the days, it should be almost the same.

Sure enough, when Ning Mo lost three games in a row, and the young lady of the Li family racked her brains to lose a game to Ning Mo, but failed, the news came.

Ning Mo saw Miss Liu's pale face, she didn't ask anything, just looked at Zhou Yi, who nodded to Ning Mo.

Miss Liu's family was a little scared. She didn't expect, really didn't expect the Zhang family to be so arrogant.It is said that the boxing gifts they gave were robbed by bandits.

They sent three people to follow the Escort, and they even ran into robbers!

Although in the end the Escort came back with their people and captured two robbers, but their things were burned by the other party.

"Mother, they must have been instigated!" Miss Liu said.

"Don't talk nonsense! Be careful, walls have ears!" Mrs. Liu said so, she was also afraid now, what Ning Mo said before, rang in her ears again.

I don't know where the Zhang family got their money from. The Zhang family is very domineering. I'm afraid that the Zhang family will not be reconciled to being subordinate to others. Will they do something to Mr. Liu?

Even if she had never directly attacked them, Mrs. Liu would not believe such a coincidence.She thought it must have been done by the Zhang family.

She told Mr. Liu this idea, and even Mr. Liu couldn't help but think about it even if he was an upright person.

Although he was angry that Mrs. Liu gave gifts secretly without telling him, but he is not a stubborn person, and he naturally understands that Mrs. Liu is for his own good.

He also couldn't help thinking, could it be that the Zhang family really did it, is Mr. Zhang so crazy?He wants the prefect's position so much?
Mr. Liu doesn't understand. With Mr. Zhang's qualifications, it will be a matter of time before he becomes the magistrate. Why should this person be in a hurry?
