Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 83 Prefect Cui is optimistic about Lu Bingwen
The magistrate Wang's face was covered with cold sweat.

Cui Zhifu sneered in his heart, he didn't just come here for the bombing this time.A few days ago, the government office cracked a case of human trafficking. After interrogation, the Diao family behind it was involved.

Those who were rescued and trafficked also testified that the incident had something to do with Diao's family.

Therefore, Cui Zhifu came here this time not only to investigate the bombing, but more importantly, to find evidence of human trafficking by the Diao family.

He had long heard that the county government had been bought off by the Diao family's money from magistrate Wang down to the county magistrate, and it was true after seeing it today.

But Cui Zhifu didn't reveal anything, but chatted with County Magistrate Wang.

He sent many yamen servants to various places to investigate Diao's family's reputation, and then formulate countermeasures when there are results.

County magistrate Wang quietly sent someone to deliver a letter to Diao Deyi, telling him the news of Cui Zhifu's arrival, and told them not to take any action in the near future.

After a few days like this, the prefect Cui investigated the bombing case openly and investigated the Diao family secretly.

"Are you related to the Diao family? This Lu family..." These government spies were not vegetarians, and found out the relationship between the Lu family and the Diao family in just a few days.

"However, they seem to be the kind who never get in touch with each other... Even so... My lord, I think it's better for you to go and have a look. This Lu family is unusual." The spy said.

Cui Zhifu nodded: "I understand, I will leave for Lu's house tomorrow."

The Diao family seemed to have calmed down these few days, so the Lu family moved back to the village, and said to the public that they went to the mountains to relax for a few days, and drive away evil spirits by the way.

The ancients were all superstitious, not to mention the fact that there are real strange powers and chaos in this world, so no one will doubt this statement.

Nuomi's injury has healed, and she follows Lu Jinyao up the mountain to collect herbs every day.

Lu Hanfeng had no choice but to go back to Sichuan after receiving a letter from his master.

On this day, Lu Jinyao was arranging medicinal materials, when someone outside the door shouted: "Brother Lu, a guest is looking for you!"

She went to open the door, and there were Ma Chunsheng and a few people she didn't know standing at the door.

One of them was about 50 years old, dressed in a soap-colored gown, with a face like a silver basin, three beards floating down the front, a little white in the black beard, and two eyes like lightning.With a majestic appearance, he doesn't look like an ordinary person.

The few people around seemed to be headed by this person.

"Hello, Second Uncle, who are these?" Lu Jinyao invited Ma Chunsheng and those people into the room, poured tea, and asked.

The few people saw that although she was young and a country girl, she was not shy at all, and her manner was very dignified and generous, and they were secretly amazed in their hearts.

"These are merchants from Fucheng. They drank tea in the village and thought it was good. They also heard that the tea was grown locally, so they wanted to meet your father. Yao Nizi, where is your father?" Ma Chunsheng asked.

"My father has gone to take care of the tea tree... If you are not in a hurry, just wait here for a while. If you are in a hurry, I will take you to find my father."

"It's not in a hurry..." The man in his fifties stroked his beard and said, "Let me ask you, what is this?"

He took out a tea bag and put it on the table. It seemed that he got it from a tea shed at the head of the village.

Lu Jinyao explained: "This is a tea bag, which is easy to carry and store. It can be used to make tea in various situations where it is inconvenient to make tea, and the cost is also low."

"Who thought of this thing? Your father?"

Lu Jinyao blinked and smiled, "I thought of it."

"You? This is really amazing..." Everyone couldn't stop being amazed.

"Second Uncle, sit at home with the others, and I'll go find my father."

The people in the country are simple and honest, and there are not so many crooked ones. In addition, Ma Chunsheng has always had a good relationship with the Lu family, so I can rest assured of his behavior.

Now Lu Jinyao is actually alone in the Lu family. Since Lu Jinyao contracted the housework, Lian Susu has been relaxed in every way, going out every day to discuss needlework with the sisters in the village, or delivering meals to Lu Bingwen, going to the fields together, etc. The relationship between husband and wife is even stronger. All right.

Yun's has also been completely free, and goes to chat with the old lady she knows every day.

In fact, it seems that there is a lot of work, but Lu Jinyao will not be very tired at all with the help of the space, the twin spirits and the small animals raised in the space.

Now she ran out to look for Lu Bingwen.

It was her idea to open a tea shed at the head of the village. At first, she wanted to make a little money, but then she thought about it and simply provided a large bowl of tea to passers-by for free, and then sold tea bags and flower tea.

The big poplar tree is next to the official road, and there are many people rushing to and fro.Tea is inconvenient to carry and store, and it is also inconvenient to brew during the journey. Tea bags just meet their needs.

Moreover, as long as the tea is grown locally, you can also advertise your own tea.

Although Lu Jinyao didn't think these people were merchants, since they showed interest in tea, let's take a look first, and it would be best if they could sell it.

Northern tea, tsk!Only one!Just relying on this one copy, it should be sold at a good price.

Thinking this way, Lu Jinyao quickened her pace.

Lu Bingwen talked happily with the merchant who claimed to be surnamed Cui.

During the conversation, both of them felt that the other party was not an ordinary businessman or farmer, and after talking for a while, they actually meant to become confidantes.

Lu Jinyao always felt that the merchant surnamed Cui was not a businessman, but he knew everything about business and the prices of local tea, grain, and cloth.

In fact, Lu Jinyao's intuition was not wrong. The merchant surnamed Cui was Cui Xuangang, the magistrate of Laizhou Prefecture, and the others were government servants in his residence. The purpose of coming to Lu's house this time was to make a private visit in disguise to investigate the affairs of Diao's family.

The fact that Lu Jinyao and the little Taoist were abducted by Diao's family was very secretive, and the villagers only thought that their family lived in Chunyang Temple.

But the Taoist priests of Chunyang Temple and some servants of Diao's family knew a little bit about this matter, so some rumors spread to Master Cui's ears.

In addition, knowing that the Lu family is related to the Diao family, it is even more necessary to visit the Lu family.If the Lu family and the Diao family worked hand in hand, they would definitely show their feet; if the Lu family did not work together with the Diao family, they would definitely be at odds with the Diao family, and it would show.

If you want to say why you didn't go to Diao's house to visit, it's because Diao's house is heavily guarded, and there is King Ling sitting in the town, and the magistrate must have notified Diao's house long ago, so this trick will not work.

And here Lu Bingwen chatted with Cui Zhifu more and more speculatively, Cui Zhifu asked about the tea, Lu Bingwen didn't hide it, he just talked about how he studied, how many times he worked hard, and finally planted the tea tree. Come out, and invite Cui Zhifu, who is making a private interview, and his party to go to the scene for a while.
