I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"But didn't you lose contact with your father a few years ago?" Mr. Mo asked doubtfully, "What about now, is Madam Luo prepared to listen to the words of her grandfather and uncle?"

"Of course not." The more Luo Qianhuai said it, the more he felt that this refusal was extremely beautiful, and he also rejected all the good intentions from his grandmother and aunt:

"My subordinate Aweng is still here, but I have lost contact. I will always wait for him to make the decision. Before that, no matter who he is, I will not consider him."

"What if you never find him?"

"Then I would rather never marry for the rest of my life. Of course, I firmly believe that Aweng will never abandon me, and he must still be somewhere in this world. It's just that he was tied up by something, so he couldn't come to find me right away." Luo Qianhuai blinked. A pair of dark eyes spoke with sincerity: "So please take back what you just said. My subordinates will definitely find Aweng and serve him together with Zhaoer until they grow old."

Luo Qianhuai slept very well that night. For the next few days, she stayed in this small courtyard, and it was already the thirtieth of the twelfth lunar month without her realizing it.

Madam Zhu personally drove her car to pick her up. Luo Qianhuai was a little surprised: "The matter last time has been settled?"

"Ms. Luo Luo is worried about me." Madam Zhu knelt down directly in front of her and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Ms. Zhu thanked Madam Luo for saving her life."

Luo Qianhuai didn't take any credit, he stepped forward and helped her up: "I was just lucky, it didn't have to be like this."

Then he said with a smile: "Master Huo can repay Mingyue Tower justice so quickly. He is worthy of being a capable minister."

Only then did Zhu Niang stand up: "Mrs. Luo, could it be that she still doesn't know that Huo Yu is no longer the Changling Order."

Luo Qianhuai knew that Mr. Mo would take action, but he didn't expect it to be so quick: "What happened?"

"I heard that your majesty was angered." Zhu Niang had just been released from prison, and the copper mine was in serious trouble. Mr. Mo did not tell everyone about it, so she didn't know much about it. She only said: "I don't know why. His Majesty was furious and not only was he deprived of his official position, he was also exiled thousands of miles away."

Luo Qianhuai thought about what he heard about Huo Yu's background a few days ago and couldn't help but have some doubts: "I heard that the Huo family is very powerful in the court. Didn't they go to His Majesty to plead for mercy?"

"Plea?" Zhu Niang shook her head: "How could Mr. Huo, who has so many bastards in his family, face His Majesty's wrath for Huo Yu? I heard that not only did he not plead for mercy, but he also took the initiative to demand severe punishment. The reason why he was banished to Ji The Judi in the north of the state was where he entered. So instead of being angry with Mr. Huo, His Majesty also praised him for his selflessness and made him a model for all officials!"

Sure enough, there are all kinds of fathers and sons in the world. But the direct beneficiary of this incident is himself, and Luo Qianhuai will not shed any crocodile tears.

"The new Changling Commander Xing Ting lives up to his name. He is really vigorous and resolute. As soon as he took office yesterday, he immediately transferred all the pending cases. The plaintiffs and defendants were all called to the scene to read the verdicts. In just one day, they were all After a clear review, he seems to be much more capable than Huo Yu."

Luo Qianhuai didn't know who Xing Ting was, but she only needed to know that he was a good official, and that was enough. But she didn't care about everything. She saw so many wasted lives in the wine shop that day, and she had to know the outcome.

"Since you are acquitted, what about the Prince of Jizhou?"

"He was sentenced to death by hanging, and all his subordinates were beheaded." Zhu Niang said, frowning slightly: "It's a pity that Your Majesty promulgated the atonement law, so Yu Shen paid a hundred catties of gold in front of the court and risked his own life and that of his subordinates. All redeemed."

Luo Qianhuai suddenly realized. She also thought about using this order last time, but she felt very uncomfortable when it was applied to a real villain. "Although you are exempted from the death penalty, you can't escape the living penalty." Zhu Niang gave her a popular science about the dynasty's death order: "If you pay for the death penalty, you will pay half a million yuan, and you will be reduced to one degree of death."

The only thing worse than the death penalty is exile for three thousand miles. Yu Shen and others were beaten with a cane twenty times in court, then put in shackles and exiled to Yazhou.

Luo Qianhuai quickly called up the Dayu territory map in the system and found the location of Yazhou. It was almost the same as Sanya in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

While she always thought of a place where she could go on vacation in winter but never made it, at this time, it was a vast tropical rain forest, humid and hot, which was daunting.

But no matter what, Luo Qianhuai felt completely relieved when he heard that these two people had gone to their own places. It was an unexpected joy that he could go back and celebrate the New Year with his family in peace.

The New Year's Eve dinner was naturally held at Wen's house. Zhu Niang brought all kinds of New Year's goods and ingredients in the car. Lin's cooking skills are already good, and Luo Qianhuai showed off his special skills by cooking a squirrel mandarin fish by himself, cutting it with a knife, pickling it, patting it into powder, and pouring it with oil. , pouring the sauce in one go, the finished product is as fluffy as a needle, the color is like a squirrel tail, and the taste is sour, sweet and crispy that is rare nowadays, making people want to eat it with their tongues.

Wenzhou Wenmu and Wenpu's wife both highly praised Luo Qianhuai's cooking skills. Luo Zhao was at an age where he had a big appetite, and he just ate one bite after another without even bothering to talk. Since Wen Jia got the money from Luo Qianhuai last time, he went to Mingyue Tower to eat and drink again. He lost face in front of a few gangster friends and had already changed his face towards Luo Qianhuai. All kinds of flattery made Luo Qianhuai just want to avoid him.

"Yinyin, your craftsmanship is no worse than that of Mingyue Tower. I don't think we can open a drug store. Why not just open a restaurant and keep the daily income? It's not necessarily worse than that of Mingyue Tower!"

Luo Qianhuai lowered his head to eat the food in silence, feeling worried about Luo Jia's business relationship. Is it such a simple thing to open a restaurant in this era? If it weren't for both black and white, it wouldn't be what it is today. Not to mention how much effort Mr. Mo has put into running the business for many years, even if he takes out Zhu Niang alone, he can deal with more than ten Luo Jia.

"It's time to eat dumplings!" Mrs. Lin entered the room carrying two large plates of steaming dumplings, interrupting Luo Jia's whims.

The dumplings are stuffed with water spinach, shrimp, and fresh meat, seasoned with Sichuan peppercorn oil, and mixed with chicken feet jelly according to Luo Qianhuai's suggestion. They are boiled and cooked with a packet of soup in one bite. They are so delicious.

Luo Qianhuai happily ate two. When he bit the third one, his teeth were suddenly bitten.

She frowned and pulled out a shiny five-plant coin from the stuffing. Mrs. Lin saw it from the side and immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows:

"Two plates of dumplings contain two fortune coins in total. By coincidence, the first one was eaten by us. We will be able to have everything go well this year and have good luck all year round!"

Luo Qianhuai thought about recent events, such as his uncle's success in overturning the case, the smooth construction of Ji'antang, the steady flow of wine profits, and the patients he treated were all recovering day by day. It was Yu Shen who coveted the immortals who had done nothing to him. Huo Yu, who had the intention to rob, also suffered retribution. It was indeed so smooth that it was unbelievable.

Is it possible that this lucky money is still used to pick people, and when they see who is lucky, they take advantage of the situation to tease them?

However, the second fortune coin came out of Wen Jia's mouth, which immediately overturned Luo Qianhuai's guess.

It's just a coincidence, so what does it matter?
