Chen Zhao nodded and asked, "Your Highness once said that if something happens, just ask the Xiushan County Magistrate for help. Now that we have settled down, I plan to visit the County Magistrate tomorrow. I wonder if you can help spread the news?"

"Of course." The guard quickly agreed, "The news will be sent to the county magistrate tonight. Shopkeeper Chen will just go there tomorrow."

Chen Zhao thanked them and invited them to go down to have a rest and eat.

Chen Ruiyang asked quickly, "Uncle, are you planning to attend the birthday banquet?"

"Yes, that man must have a guilty conscience for having let down your mother. He found us today and will definitely find out why we came here. Now that the public is saying that this village and the courtyard in the city are mine, he will definitely be tempted.

"Because the people I sent to Fucheng also came back with news. He is not living a good life now. For the sake of money, he will definitely admit his relatives shamelessly."

Chen Zhao's eyes were full of disdain and he added, "Not to mention, I will also appear at the birthday banquet, and with the care of the county magistrate, he will definitely take the bait!"

Chen Ruiyang had mixed feelings in his heart. Every father is a tall hero in his son's heart, but his own father is a scumbag, a mercenary scumbag!

Chen Zhao patted him on the shoulder, hesitated, and asked, "On the day of the birthday banquet, are you willing to come with me?"

"Go," Chen Ruiyang took a deep breath and responded, "I'm going, I want to see all his hypocrisy and ugly face, so that I won't be soft-hearted in the future. I want to avenge my mother!"

"Good boy, that's how it should be!" Chen Zhao praised his nephew with cold eyes, "Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

After a while, Zhuzhu woke up, and Chen Zhao took the children directly back to the courtyard in the city.

Yang Lihua was doing needlework when she heard the noise and was still wondering why Chen Zhao was back.

As a result, Chen Zhao mentioned that he was going to visit the county magistrate, and Yang Lihua immediately organized a meeting ceremony.

Although the county magistrate is a subordinate of the Sixth Prince, it is an order to take care of their family.

But when people get along with each other, there must always be comings and goings.

People must obey orders, and they must have the utmost respect.

Of course, in order not to look too over the top, Yang Lihua did not prepare anything too expensive.

She had bought some specialties from the cities she passed through before, including two boxes of snacks, two sets of new books, two jars of wine, and two cans of tea, which was decent enough.

Chen Zhao originally wanted to go shopping on the street tomorrow, but seeing how thoughtful Yang Lihua was, he happily accepted.

"Eldest sister is the one who thought carefully. No wonder everyone around Tai'an says that our Tai family is very considerate. It turns out it's all thanks to eldest sister."

Yang Lihua quickly waved her hand, refusing to take credit, "My old man is old, but he is experienced in people and the most transparent in his actions. I have been studying with him for more than ten years, but I can only scratch the surface."

On the side, Zhuzhu leaned against her mother and turned over the red rope. After hearing this, she interrupted.

"Does mom want fur? Then let uncle take Zhuzhu hunting. Zhuzhu is very powerful. Zhuzhu can find the best fur for mom!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Apart from being serious about eating, this girl really didn't care about anything else!

Early the next morning, Chen Zhao took Chen Ruiyang out and didn't come back until the sun was almost setting.

Yang Lihua couldn't help but remember that when her family accidentally rescued Ruiyang, Mrs. Zheng gave her a particularly generous thank you gift. Even the hairpin she wears now was hand-picked by Mrs. Zheng.

She was very grateful and felt deeply for Mrs. Zheng's plight. She sympathized with the Zheng family for being exterminated. Naturally, she also hopes that Mrs. Zheng's revenge will be redressed, and she hopes that the scumbag will be punished as he deserves.

But this is the territory of scum after all. If Chen Zhao and Chen Ruiyang trespass in and fail to take revenge, but instead get themselves involved, it will be the end.

Fortunately, before sunset, the uncle and nephew finally came back.

It turns out that Chen Zhao and the county magistrate Chang Yu hit it off immediately, and Chen Ruiyang even played well with the county magistrate's son Chang Shi.

Chen Zhao talked a lot about the situation at the border, even new things in the grassland, and the Rakshasa devils who secretly sneaked into the border to harm the people.

Magistrate Chang often heard about the border incident, but this was the first time he met the person involved, so he took Chen Zhao to lunch and even asked them to stay for drinks in the evening.

Chen Zhao was worried about Yang Lihua and Zhuzhu, so he refused, and finally agreed to continue after the birthday party the next day.

Yang Lihua finally felt relieved, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was redundant.

Chen Zhao has been away from home all year round, traveling all over the country. When it comes to making friends, if he doesn't want to, how can he not succeed?

Not to mention the great Wei people, even the third prince of the prairie was his life and death friend!

Not to mention what happened to Chen Zhao and others, I just said that Zheng Bingyi took his son and stumbled back to the official road that day. The carriage broke down. He would rather walk to the county seat than go to Zhuangzi to ask for help.

The little fat boy was so tired that he cried for father and mother, but it was only the slaves who took turns carrying him on his back that made him shut up.

After entering the county and looking for a place to live, the first thing Zheng Bingyi did was to send all his servants out to find out who the owner of the village was and where he came from, and to double-check whether it was his uncle.

The servants were considered capable and came back with the news at noon the next day.

"Master, let's pretend to be salesmen and go to the village yesterday. We have found out clearly. The owner of that village is surnamed Chen. I heard he is a big businessman and his family is very rich. Not to mention the hundreds of acres of fertile land in this village. , there are yards and shops in the city. This owner’s family doesn’t usually live here, but lives in the north. Now he came here because of the border war.”

Zheng Bingyi's eyes flashed with anger, and he was a little unhappy.

Before, the woman in the Northland always said that she was completely sincere to him and would do anything for him. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that. His uncle bought so many properties under his nose, but he didn't even tell him!

This is to guard against him!

Originally, he felt a little ashamed of that woman. After all, he left her and started a family here, so he shouldn't have hidden it from her. But she also deceived her, and the two parties were evenly matched.

He suddenly felt much relieved, and then asked, "Can I find out how long this person named Chen will live here? Does he have any other business?"

The slaves looked at each other, a little embarrassed. They wanted to alert each other to inquire about the news, but naturally all they heard was superficial. How could they ask for these details?

But one of the slaves was a little clever and quickly responded, "Sir, although we didn't find out how long the man named Chen will stay here or whether he has any business, we heard something else."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Bingyi frowned, not particularly satisfied.

The servant came forward and whispered, "Master, I heard that before the man named Chen came back, the steward of the Chang family was helping to take care of this village."

Chang family?

Zheng Bingyi didn't react for a moment, so the servant reminded him, "The county magistrate of Xiushan is named Chang."

Xiushan County Magistrate!

Zheng Bingyi's eyes lit up and he asked, "You mean, the person named Chen is familiar with the Xiushan County Magistrate?"

The servant laughed dryly and refused to confirm.

"Sir, I only heard so much. As for whether the manager of the Chang family is familiar with the person surnamed Chen, or whether Magistrate Chang is familiar with the person surnamed Chen, I really don't know." (End of Chapter)
