Chapter 86
The magistrate of the county got the money, so he was naturally happy to send out such a notice, saying that it was all a misunderstanding or something, and the seal of Shanji Inn was also revoked.

The work of building a new restaurant and vegetable market was naturally completed by Hu Li staying in Qingcheng, and the publicity of the vegetable market, using the beggars in the beggar's nest to help with things, sent Hu Li to work, but the name was still her adoptive father. of.

As expected, time is like a butcher's knife. After a long time, people gradually forgot what happened to Shanji Inn, and the people in Qingcheng knew it subtly. The owner of Shanji Inn is a very good person, but Shanji Inn It didn't reopen for a while.

Tang Mai became the hands-off shopkeeper, and these matters were settled, and she didn't bother to take the time to pay attention to the person who pretended to be her master's apprentice.

However, she never forgot all the good deeds done by the magistrate.

Before leaving Qingcheng to find Shan Xiong, she poisoned the county magistrate and his concubine. This time the poison was useless even if she asked her master. It was specially made by Tang Mai, except for herself. —no one can save.

And this poison is nothing more than itching all over the body. If you don't scratch the itch for a day, and ah, it won't last for a year or so-it won't get better.

After saying hello to Beston, Tang Mai asked Hu Li to send her to find Shan Xiong. When she came back, the restaurant and vegetable market should have been built and rolled out to the market.

More people means more power, and word of mouth of beggars is even more powerful. In just such a short time, the reputation of the vegetable market has already been established. Now everyone knows that it was jointly opened by Shan Xiong and Hu Li, and all the stalls are free. .

Many people have already started gearing up to grab a stall and sell vegetables.

Tang Mai was very worried about Shan Xiong. Although Shan Xiong's injury was not particularly serious after using her wound medicine, she still couldn't help but worry because she hadn't heard from Shan Xiong for so long.

It stands to reason that her adoptive father, who cared so much about her, would definitely come to find her as soon as he woke up and found that she was not there, but now there is no news of her adoptive father at all.

This had to make her wonder if something had happened.

Hu Li is the young owner of Mipu in many nearby towns, and has more or less business dealings with Shan Xiong, who runs an inn. Naturally, where is Shan Xiong's family?

Five days later, he sent someone to send Tang Mai to Mingcheng where Shan Xiong lives now.

Today's Mingcheng is larger than Qingcheng's, and it is developing faster than Qingcheng. Now Qingcheng is only a county, while Mingcheng is already a city. However, more than ten years later, the status of the two It's upside down.

Tang Mai was sent to a high-rise compound. Two stone lions sat majestically and coldly on both sides of the gate. The vermilion gate was simple and heavy, and a plaque carved with gold engraved with two large characters—Shanfu.

Her adoptive father's house looks very grand.

The coachman who was responsible for delivering Tang Mai came forward and knocked on the door, and a girl dressed as a maid came out after a while, looked at the coachman and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Our boss asked me to send Miss Tang over."

"Hi sister, I'm Mai'er, and Shan Xiong is my adoptive father. I'm here to see him."

When the maid heard Tang Mai's words, something flickered in her eyes, and she said to Tang Mai, "What are you selling and buying? We don't need a maid here, so hurry up and leave."

After speaking, he closed the exposed door.

"Uh..." The coachman didn't expect such a result, he looked at Tang Mai in a moment of embarrassment, and asked as if asking, "Miss Tang, how about I take you back to your home. "

Hearing this, Tang Mai shook his head, looked at the coachman and smiled, "Big brother, you go back, go back and tell Uncle Hu that I'm at the foster father's house."

"But, you..."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Mai said, after thinking for a while, "How about, big brother, take me to find an inn first."

"That's fine." The coachman took Tang Mai into the carriage, found an inn for her, booked a room, paid a deposit, and then went back to report.

After arriving at the guest room of the inn, Tang Mai washed up, ate, and lay down on the bed. Thinking back to the look in the maid's eyes today, she was sure that the maid must have heard of her.

It seemed that someone really didn't want her adoptive father to have anything to do with her anymore.

Originally at this time, she should have retreated despite the difficulties, but thinking of Shan Xiong's kindness to her over the past year, at least until Shan Xiong didn't want her as a righteous daughter, she had no reason to give up.

After sleeping in the inn all night, after getting up and having breakfast, Tang Mai walked towards the Shan family's mansion again.

She didn't go through the main entrance this time, but walked to the back door. Not long after arriving at the back door, she heard the sound of the door opening.

After the door opened, an old woman in her seventies appeared in front of Tang Mai, and the old woman felt a little strange seeing a child like Tang Mai standing at the back door, "Little girl, why did you come here? "

Tang Mai's eyeballs rolled, thinking about his heart, and suddenly said pitifully, "Grandma, I can't find a home, and my parents are gone."

"Ah? Parents are gone? What should I do?"

"Grandma, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

"I'm hungry, wait a minute." The old woman turned around and entered the room. After a while, she took out two big white steamed buns for Tang Mai, stuffed them into her hands, and said, "Come, eat."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Tang Mai had eaten before, but now she still gobbled down the steamed buns, choking on what she ate and hiccupping.

It was the old woman who brought her a bowl of water, and she drank it before stopping.

"Son, eat slowly."

"Grandmother, thank you, I'm full, I'm going to find my parents." Tang Mai said, thanked him, turned around and left the alley at the gate of Shanfu.

The next morning, Tang Mai went to the backyard of the Shan Mansion again, and made himself dirty on purpose.

The old lady opened the door and saw Tang Mai who was huddled in the doorway, she immediately felt distressed, looked left and right, saw no one was around, she led Tang Mai in, brought Tang Mai to her room, warmed Tang Mai, He also boiled a bowl of hot soup for Tang Mai to drink.

Tang Mai sat obediently in the old-looking house. There was only one wooden bed in the whole room, and an old-colored quilt was placed on the bed.

"Child, warm up first, warm up."

"Thank you mother-in-law." Seeing the old man's residence, Tang Mai thought of his deception, and thanked him a little deliberately. At the same time, taking advantage of the old man's inattention, he stuffed a piece of broken silver into the bedding.

"Son, haven't you found your parents yet?"
