"Where are you going to hide to avoid suspicion?" Mrs. Lu looked at her husband with staring eyes and asked curiously.

"Go to Xiangping County to have a look. It's been a year. How is the tree growing?" Master Lu said, looking at her gently.

"Xiangping is in the south, you want to go north?" Mrs. Lu looked at him cleverly and said.

"I'm really going to Xiangping to have a look. I hope the trees planted will have a higher survival rate." Master Lu pursed his lips and looked at her and said, "I also hope that Master Lin can help me cover up."

"You can go with peace of mind! Master Li and the others have long been so obsessed with this money that they still pay attention to you!" Madam Lu said while looking at him with staring eyes.

"Don't, don't, if you don't keep secret, you will lose your identity. Let's be careful, too few people know." Master Lu looked at her cautiously and said.

"Listen to you." Madam Lu nodded lightly when she heard the words, "If you leave, will Mr. Li act recklessly?"

"Don't worry about it, we'll talk about everything when I come back." Lord Lu said with cold eyes, "I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on their every move."

"Okay!" Mrs. Lu nodded with a smile, "I hope they listen to your advice and don't take risks."

"No, if you listen to the persuasion, you won't jump off." Lord Lu closed his eyes and said, "Man dies for money, and bird dies for food."

"How much money do we plan to borrow to go out? Or is it appropriate?" Mrs. Lu looked at him with bright starry eyes and said.

"It can't be too much, just give them the cash at home." Master Lu thought for a while and looked at her and said.

"Then these two 3000 taels should be paid out." Mrs. Lu said without thinking.

"That's 3000 taels." Mr. Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"I'll get you a bank note now." Mrs. Lu stood up and said.

"Don't, don't!" Master Lu pulled her up and said, "I'm just a poor magistrate relying on salary now, the money is getting paid too fast, it's not good, we have to have time to make it together."

"Okay, then I'll give it to them after two days of preparation." Mrs. Lu looked at him with bright starry eyes and said with a smile, "Can we do it?"

"If you do mental calculations but don't care, we're doing it in the dark, and they're doing it in the open, making them lose all their money and become destitute." Master Lu said angrily, "It's such a calculation."

"That's going to be a secret operation." Mrs. Lu said while holding his hand.

"I know." Lord Lu patted her hand and nodded.

Li Nanjin hummed a little song, walked squarely, and stepped into his yard.

The judge, Cheng Baizhou, jumped out of the house after hearing the sound, looked at him eagerly and said, "How is it? Brother Li, is it done?"

"Go in, go in." Li Nanjin pointed to the house and said, "Can I do it if I go out! No one can refuse the charm of Yinzi."

Cheng Baizhou returned to the room briskly, and was busy pouring water for Li Nanjin, "Come on, brother Li has worked hard, drink water, drink water."

Li Nanjin sat down and picked up the teacup, took a few sips, put down the teacup and looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "He agreed to pay the money, and the interest! It can't be higher than usury."

"Why?" Cheng Baizhou looked at him puzzled and said.

"Placing usury is against the law. As a magistrate, I won't do it." Li Nanjin simply explained.

"Really." Cheng Baizhou sneered and shook his head slightly.

"No matter what, he agreed." Li Nanjin leaned back on the chair and said, "And he will go to Xiangping County soon."

"Where are you going? What are you going to do in the backcountry?" Cheng Baizhou snorted coldly.

"One! The autumn harvest is over, and the winter wheat has been planted. Let's go to Xiangping to see how the tree is doing." Li Nanjin shook his head and said again, "Two! Stay away, thinking that in case the Dong Chuang incident happens, the family is not in the city. Well! You can reduce some guilt."

"Master Lu is cunning enough." Cheng Baizhou stared at him dumbfounded and said.

"The nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, if he doesn't, I still don't believe him!" Li Nanjin said with a smile, "Shirk responsibility is a necessary skill in officialdom!"

"Then let him shirk responsibility like this?" Cheng Baizhou snorted softly.

"How could it be possible to get on our pirate ship..." Li Nanjin finished his sentence, and said twice, "Anyway, we are grasshoppers on the same rope, so it's no wonder we can escape him."

"Brother Li, what you said is not right." Cheng Baizhou kindly reminded him.

"Anyway, the meaning is the same, I can't run away from him." Li Nanjin smiled treacherously, "It's good to leave, it's convenient for us to do things, otherwise we have to worry about him, what if we don't have one heart with us?"

"What if he escapes the golden cicada's shell?" Cheng Baizhou rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that he was born in the army, maybe he was with the emperor?"

"Officials from other places don't have official documents from the Ministry of Officials, and imperial edicts from the emperor, so it's a crime for him to leave his post without permission when he enters Beijing." The old god Li Nanjin looked at him and said, "I just came to Beijing for such a trivial matter, what are we doing? Isn’t it just lending money to businessmen? Or in private, breaking someone’s law.”

"That's right, that's right." Cheng Baizhou hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, then remembered and asked, "Then Master Lu is not here, how about this money?"

"Oh! Leave it to us." Li Nanjin said, looking directly at him.

Cheng Baizhou rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, Mr. Lu's interest rate is low, so let's calculate it according to the high interest rate, hehe..."

"We have the final say on how to get a mortgage with the money in our hands. We'll just tell Mr. Lu that the interest rate is lower than usury. He doesn't know how to check the real situation." Li Nanjin looked at him with a smile and said, "Even if you know, you can How about it, the big deal is to pay him the interest rate difference. This is really a grasshopper on a rope."

"Great!" Cheng Baizhou rubbed his hands happily, and said with some regret, "If you can use the cotton collected in the treasury, you will earn more." He said with his eyes fixed on him.

"What are you looking at me for? I proposed it when I got there, but Master Lu rejected it immediately." Li Nanjin looked at him with a straight face and said.

"I don't make money, I feel comfortable!" Cheng Baizhou pointed at his chest and said, "It hurts!"

"You think I don't want to!" Li Nanjin looked at him angrily and said, "Master Lu said no, and he said no. This money has to be earned and spent!"

"Alas..." Cheng Baizhou tensed his jaw and looked unhappy.

"Don't be upset, we've already earned a lot in interest." Li Nanjin persuaded him.

"Who would think that there is too much money!" Cheng Baizhou said dissatisfiedly, "This is the only chance to make money. If every household grows it in the future, we will still make money!"

"I said this windfall, as much as it is!" Li Nanjin said very contentedly.
