Meng Tan blinked and looked curious, saying, "Speak quickly, tell me quickly." This made the landlady burst into laughter.

"Then Chunhong actually won. That little girl from the Goulan Courtyard is treacherous. I went to the court that day to see Chunhong. She sued the Wang family for abusing a common girl. The Wang family said she was an outsider and could naturally be disciplined. Chunhong just Tell the Wang family to come up with evidence that she is Wang Huaibao's concubine."

"The Wang family is in trouble. Normally, when Wang Huaibao bought Chunhong, Wanfang Pavilion would clearly write Chunhong's whereabouts in the redemption document. It's a pity that Wang Huaibao cared about his status as a scholar and made Chunhong a good son. What do you think? , and he deserves it, who told Wang Huaibao not to learn well?"

"Chunhong also accused Mrs. Wang of killing her child. Oh, you don't know, this little girl is a cruel person. She cried heartbreakingly in the court while holding her dead child with a broken arm. It can be seen that He's gone, mother, that child is all black and blue."

The landlady said, folding her arms and rubbing her arms, "Don't let her win like this. Now, all the Wang family are in jail, and Mrs. Wang was fined to do hard labor, and Chunhong was also compensated a sum of money. Woolen cloth."

Meng Tan was surprised.

Ouch, then Cui Ping is still a good person?

You know, for women in this era, it is not easy to sue an official and win. Men always understand men better.

What's more, this is a social situation where all men are officials.

After saying goodbye to the gossipy proprietress of the clothing store, Meng Tan took his two apprentices to have a meal first and then went to a snack shop to buy snacks.

Desserts are really expensive.

Meng Tan bought a small bag of mung bean cake, which cost about seven or eight yuan. She wanted it for one hundred yuan!

Stealing money!

If it weren't for the purpose of thanking Cui Ping, she wouldn't want to buy it. This thing looks too sugary and oily, which makes her feel disgusted.

But the two apprentices seemed very greedy, so Meng Tan bought another pack.

[The two of you will take one piece each, and take the rest home to share with your family. The other piece will be given to you as a thank you. ]

The two sisters nodded happily, "Mom is so kind."

Ugh...Is it okay to bleed?

With tears in her heart, Meng Tan took her two apprentices into a white goods shop and asked for some yellow talismans.

Then he took his two apprentices to the county government office.

At this time, Cui Ping was looking at the water distribution map of Changhe Town and asked the master on the side: "I see that there are quite a lot of water areas in Changhe Town. If water commerce is established, it will definitely be more prosperous. But I see that there is no water in Changhe Town yet. Is Linjiang Town next door prosperous?"

Linjiang Town is the town closest to Changhe Town, but it belongs to another county and is surrounded by mountains. It really doesn't fit the name. However, due to its abundant black Ganoderma lucidum, there are many merchants coming and going.

The master smiled bitterly, "You don't know something. This Changhe Town may not look big, but there are several big gentry families, namely the Zhang, Lu, and Li families. These three families dominate the main river trunk roads of Changhe Town. This is what we want to do. You have to ask people if they are willing to order anything.”

"Let's just talk about the Zhang family. Although they are a branch of the Zhang family in Jinling, they also have a queen mother in the palace and a Tongpan in Fuling. It's not easy to offend."

"Not to mention the Lu family, they are also a branch of the Lu family from Jinling. They also have a virtuous concubine in the palace, so it is not easy to offend."

"Let's talk about the Xu family. It's the natal family of the Empress Dowager and the wealthy businessmen in Fuling County. It's even harder to offend."

All in all, the water trade in Changhe Town is completely controlled by relatives.

No matter who you offend, you will risk your life.

The master sighed, but Master Cui laughed and said, "Interesting."

The master's face was full of confusion, what's so interesting about it?

Just at this time, the official guarding the county government came and said, "Sir, there is someone outside the door asking to see you."

"If it were Chen Changan, I would have disappeared."

One day after the Tian family incident, Chen Changan came to thank him once, but he didn't see him and only accepted the thank you gift.

It was not unreasonable to hear that he came to apprentice as a prodigy. Although Chen Changan may not have such intention, it would be less troublesome.

He is looking very sexy right now, and the Zhang, Lu, and Li family are keeping an eye on him.

"No, sir, it's Chen Changan's mother, Mengshi."

The reason why even an official can remember Meng Tan is because the miserable howl of Chunhong that day was too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Go and invite me." ...

Meng Tan was invited to the flower hall in the backyard of the county government office.

This was the first time she had seen the magistrate's residence. Not to mention, it was quite different from what she thought. The courtyard was too simple.

Apart from the flowers and plants, I couldn't see anything worthy of the magistrate's nobility.

Meng Tan was bored with waiting, so he took out a yellow talisman, bit off his fingertips, drew a piece of talisman paper, and folded it into a triangular paper bag.

Just giving mung bean cake as a gift is actually quite shabby. After all, it is a big help. Otherwise, if it is a little biased, the Tian family may not win.

But she had no money, so she had to use some sincerity to get it together.

For example, the life-saving talisman drawn by the Great Goddess Meng herself?

That doesn't just prevent ghosts.

It can also prevent others from being harmed to a certain extent.

"The visit of Fairy Meng really brings glory to the humble house, and I am very lucky to receive it."

He heard his voice before seeing him, but the voice sounded very unusual.

Meng Tan's mouth twitched, this person must have something wrong with his brain.

Meng Tan looked toward the door and saw a handsome middle-aged man in a wide robe and wide sleeves, with the demeanor of a madman, with a sincere smile on his face.

Meng Tan suddenly got goosebumps.

[We are not familiar with each other, so you don’t have to smile so charmingly. ]

The madman's smile froze.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

But Cui Ping is a god, he is thick-skinned, and he quickly asked Meng Tan with a smile, "Why is the fairy lady here? Are these two little fairies your daughters?"

[Ah, yes, the twin daughters and apprentices, Bao Zhuoyue, called people and said they had met Mr. Cui. ]

"I've met Mr. Cui." Bao Zhuoyue shouted sharply. Although it was just words and a bit lacking in etiquette, it could be seen that he was extremely sincere.

"Okay." Cui Ping stroked his beard and smiled, and whispered a few words to the boy beside him.

Meng Tan smiled and looked at Bao Zhuoyue with happiness in her eyes that she was not even aware of.

That's the joy of watching an heir.

[By the way, I’m here to give you a thank you gift, mung bean cake. I’m sorry, but I’m a bit poor. Doesn’t the magistrate dislike it? ]

Meng Tan coughed and pointed to the mung bean cake. Cui Ping was happy and asked the boy to get it. He opened it on the spot and tasted a small piece. "It's very delicious. Fairy lady is so thoughtful."

Meng Tan:......

She didn't know what to say.

This guy is really weird.

It was a little too enthusiastic, which made her, a social waste, a little overwhelmed.

[Okay, here's the formality. ]

Meng Tan took out the life-saving talisman he had just folded and motioned Cui Ping's servant to come and get it.

[This is a life-saving talisman. If you say you have some knowledge of the Book of Changes, you must be able to understand it. ]

Cui Ping took the life-saving amulet, looked at it carefully, and pinched his fingers carefully. Meng Tan knew what he was planning at a glance.

I can't help but curl my lips, it turns out that my Taoism is shallow.

Hehe, not as good as her.

That definitely doesn't mean she is a soul from another world.
