After Zhou Wenxuan finished speaking, the boy was also stunned. He had indeed noticed it just now, but he didn't think about it deeply.Now when the young master said it, he remembered it, and suddenly his heart was empty, and a bad thought came to his mind.But he didn't dare to say that they might have been deceived by someone. He found the person. If he found a fake one, the young master would definitely have the heart to kill him.The full 3 taels of banknotes have been given out!
"Hu Yidao" took the money from Zhou's mansion, and then rushed all the way to a ruined temple outside the city.

He knocked on the door as agreed, three times in the upper left corner and three times in the lower right corner.It took a while to hear footsteps, and someone came to open the door for him.The person who came to open the door was Kong Tutou from the county government.

"Butler Nangong, are you back? Are you going well?" Kong Butou asked, and welcomed the man with the broken hat into the door.

As soon as Nangong You came into the ruined temple, he took off the wide-brimmed hat on his head and the human skin mask on his face, and handed them to the policeman beside him, and smiled: "Captain Kong, are those guys obedient? "

"Being beaten like that, can you be disobedient? I have explained everything. Butler Nangong, it is really thanks to you this time that I was able to make such a great effort and catch Hu Yidao and this group of habitual bandits!" Kong Butou said with a smile , "As long as you force them to admit about the Zhou family's affairs, it's done!"

Nangong smiled, handed the bank note in his arms to Butou Kong, and said with a smile: "This is the fixed money from Zhou's family. It's agreed, we can't let our boss know about this, don't forget Butou Kong Promise to me!"

"Yes, Kong Mou dare not forget!" Kong Butou immediately assured.

Nangong Youchu smiled, changed Hu Yidao's clothes, put on his own black robe, covered his face with a black scarf, punched Butou and others nodded, and flew away.

*******
The Zhou Mansion's case dragged on for two months, which really made everyone in Suqu County dumbfounded.

And Anxiu, busy at home all day, seems to have forgotten the outside world.She designed all kinds of jewelry by herself and asked Zeng Awen to create them.No matter how difficult Anxiu's design is, Zeng Awen can always make it right.

After a month of work, both of them were exhausted, and they used more than 3000 small pearls and more than 2000 large pearls from pigeon eggs to create a thousand pairs of jewelry.None are the same, all are exquisite.Anxiu asked Zhu Qing to go to the carpenter's shop and order a thousand very exquisite jewelry boxes to hold these silver ornaments.

There are three categories: hairpins, hairpins, and bracelets. In each category, Anxiu has designed different styles, which are very moving.

Zhang Zhenzhen liked it very much, so Anxiu picked two pairs for her.One pair is a two-toothed head hairpin, which is made of silver to form an arc-shaped cover.There are pink dove egg pearls dotted in the middle, and two small white pearls are placed on each side.The so-called small pearls are smaller than the pearls of pigeon eggs, but much larger than ordinary river pearls.

Anxiu plans to sell 5000 taels for such a combination.If Zhang Zhenzhen knew about it, she would definitely not take it with her.

He also gave her a pair of hairpins: only one brown dove egg pearl was decorated, and the surrounding silver was threaded into silk threads, which looked like a flower petal, and the brown dove egg pearl was more abrupt, and it looked unusually bright and moving.Originally, pearls have a faint luster, so it looks even more beautiful when it is set off like this.

Zhang Zhenzhen didn't know the market value of these jewelry at all, so she just took them as a good look.If An Xiu sells these two pairs of jewelry, she will definitely be able to earn 8000 taels of silver back.

This big pearl is considered a rare treasure, except for supernatural powers, it is rare for normal people to come across it once in a hundred years.

Lock all the jewelry and put them in a small room in Anxiu's courtyard.Fearing that thieves would come or that servants at home would guard against them, Anxiu also summoned a lot of poisonous snakes with supernatural powers and entrenched them.

He took out five boxes and prepared to sell them in Suqu County.

In such a small county, it would be nice to be able to sell five boxes.For the rest, Anxiu plans to sell them in various places.It would be best if I could go to Kyoto in the future.There are a lot of rich people there.

In addition to a thousand pairs of jewelry, Anxiu still has more than 1000 small pearls and more than 2000 large pearls of pigeon eggs.She is not in a hurry to sell it for a while. The less such things are handed down in the world, the better, and the less they are, the more valuable they are.It is best to buy these thousand pairs of jewelry for ten or twenty years, and sell hundreds of pairs every year, and the price can be raised to an unprecedented height.

After all this was done, Anxiu gave Zeng Awen 100 taels of silver, and said with a smile; "Awen, you have worked hard these days, take this money back and make up for it. Rest for half a month first, Spend more time with the old mother. After half a month, I will go directly to work in the shop, and I have already agreed with Shopkeeper Sun."

Zeng Awen never shirked the money he earned by himself, and hurriedly took it: "Thank you for your kindness."

After seeing off Zeng Awen, Anxiu took a good rest, and then heard Zhu Qing rushing to report: "Master, something happened, the Zhou family has been sealed..."

"Huh?" Anxiu was stunned.

Zhu Qing was out of breath, and hurried over and said, "The young master of the Zhou family bribed the killer Hu Yidao to assassinate the county magistrate, but was caught by Kong Butou. Hu Yidao recruited everything..."

"What will happen then?" Anxiu asked, "Will everyone in the Zhou family die?"

"No, Young Master Zhou was taken to the capital to be sentenced, and he will leave in five days. The other young masters are fine, they all said they didn't know, the county magistrate closed all the shops of the Zhou family... people on the street are talking about it " Zhu Qing said in one breath.

"Call Nangong! I want to go out!" Anxiu turned and went back to the house to change clothes, and hurriedly said, "Zhu Qing, prepare the car!"

After a while, An Xiu changed her clothes and came out. Nan Gong had already been guarding the door, following An Xiu.The two drove to the county government office in a carriage.

Along the way, Anxiu chatted with Nangong while sitting on the cart shaft.

"Have you heard about the Zhou family?" An Xiu asked.

Nangong shook his head: "I've been practicing sword at home for the past few days, and I haven't been anywhere. I don't know the situation of Zhou's family... But Young Master Zhou can do such things as paying for murder. County magistrate Li is going to die To punish him, he is someone who refuses to admit defeat easily, he just wants to give it a go..."

Anxiu nodded: "A person like him deserves to die! I'm just a little worried about Zhou Wenzheng. After all, I've met him once. I think he's a good boy."

"Master Zhou's matter should not involve Master Tuesday. The other young masters of the Zhou family have had their property confiscated, beaten, and locked up for a few years. However, the sky is far away from the emperor here, and it's not what the county magistrate said. Forget it? Let the county magistrate sell a favor to the Zhou family, and it is not difficult to let the other young masters go." Nangong Yun said lightly.

Anxiu had no choice but to nod her head.

After a while, the county government moved, and the door was crowded with people.

An Xiu sent the post, and after a while the housekeeper came out and invited An Xiu into the main hall.

When County Magistrate Li saw Anxiu, he naturally wanted to pour out his bitterness: "...I originally wanted to let Zhou Wenxuan go for the sake of Mr. Zhou's face. I didn't know that he would actually buy a killer to kill me. An Dong's family, I also It's just handling it impartially, if you come to beg for mercy, I'm really afraid I can't sell your face..."

Anxiu smiled: "Anxiu and the Zhou family are not close friends, so naturally they won't intercede for them. I just hope that Mr. Li will take the sake of Mr. Zhou's face and give the other young masters a lighter sentence. After all, they don't know about it..."

Master Li knew that Anxiu also hated the Zhou family, and she asked him to let the Zhou family die, so it was impossible to intercede for them, so he immediately realized that he was worrying too much.He just smiled slowly: "As a local parent officer, the sentencing is naturally fair. As long as they are clean, they can all be cleared up. The Anton family can rest assured."

"With Master Li's words, An Xiu can rest assured!" An Xiu smiled, "My lord, can I go to the prison to see Master Tuesday?"

County Magistrate Li hurriedly agreed to bring Anxiu there in person.Anxiu hurriedly said no, she couldn't delay Mr. Li's business.

"Kong Butou, take An Dong's house there!" Master Li didn't insist too much, and called Kong Butou who was on the side to come over, and then smiled at An Xiu, "Then An Dong's family is free, if there is anything you need to do with Kong Butou Say. As long as the subordinates can do it, they will naturally do their best..."

"Thank you!" Anxiu said with a smile.

*****
The prison was dark and humid as always, and the stench was overwhelming. Anxiu used her cuff to block her nose, and slowly got used to the smell inside.

Zhou Wenxuan and other brothers were locked in the innermost cell.

Zhou Wenxuan was on the left, his prison clothes were torn and blood-stained, and his hands and feet were in shackles; while the rest of the Zhou family were on the right, although they looked haggard, they were not locked up or beaten.Seeing Anxiu, Zhou Wenxuan rushed over immediately, took the chains on his hands and feet and made a loud noise: "An Dong family, An Dong family, please help me! I already know that I was wrong, I shouldn't pay for murder...An Dong family..."

The person who used to be so arrogant is now like a half-dead dog begging for a woman. Anxiu doesn't have any sympathy for him, but feels disgusted.This person is too vicious. He has the ability to do it, but he doesn't have the ability to take it on!
Kong Butou poked his hand with the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Be quiet, do you want to be beaten?"

Zhou Wenxuan stared at him, with bloodthirsty anger gushing out of his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Kong catcher's head into pieces.

Kong Butou made a gesture to hit him again: "Are you still watching?"

Zhou Wenxuan could only turn his face away, and lowered his head resentfully.

And the four brothers Zhou here seem to have no soul, and all of them sat silently.The clothes are ragged, and there is no trace of the wealth of the past.Anxiu squeezed her fingers and told herself that women should not be kind.

"Wenzheng..." Anxiu called her softly.

Zhou Wenzheng looked at Anxiu, got up and came over, and said calmly, "Sister An, why are you here? Let's go, it's unlucky to be in prison, especially you businessmen. Your kind words are being written down."

"Wenzheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, your brothers will be fine. Tell your brothers, don't worry, they will come out in a few days." Anxiu comforted.She can still get this kind of favor from County Magistrate Li.

She wanted revenge only for Zhou Wenxuan, but she implicated so many people at once.

Zhou Wenzheng nodded.

Anxiu didn't say much, turned around and left.

****
The Zhou family fell like this, and their pawn shop and many other businesses were gradually disintegrated.Ling Erhu was a bit decadent, after all, he had met Zhou Wenxuan once.On the day Zhou Wenxuan left, he rode a horse for five or six miles.When he came to the county seat, his eyes were darkened, it was Zhou Wenxuan who taught him bit by bit.

Although Zhou Wenxuan had his own goals, no matter what, Zhou Wenxuan had helped him a lot.

Anxiu heard from the guy at the rice shop that shopkeeper Ling had been in a particularly bad mood recently, so she asked Nangong to invite him.It was found that it was indeed as the man said, his dejected appearance made Anxiu very disgusted, wanted to get angry, but finally endured it.

No matter how Zhou Wenxuan planned Ling Erhu in his heart, Ling Erhu really regarded him as a good friend.Blaming him at this time seemed a little unreasonable.

"I heard that County Magistrate Li has unsealed all the shops of Zhou's family. He said that Zhou Wenxuan was doing everything by himself. Seeing the face of Mr. Zhou, he didn't blame the other brothers of the Zhou family. Have they got the shop these days?" An Xiu asked.But I thought in my heart that County Magistrate Li is also vicious. He took other people's money and just returned them an empty shop.

What can a few shops be worth?

Ling Erhu straightened his mind and replied: "I returned the deed to them yesterday. But what is the shop worth? Everything in the house was confiscated!"

Anxiu pursed her lips and took a sip of tea, thinking what could she say?She was the one who wanted to harm the Zhou family. Now that they are really defeated, and she wants to go to pity them, she feels disgusted.

What you do is what you do, there is nothing to explain.

"What are you going to do?" Anxiu asked.

"I used to have a good friendship with Young Master Zhou, and he helped me a lot at that time. Now the four young masters of the Zhou family have separated. The second young master gets one share, and the other three concubine young masters share one share. The second young master said he would buy it. After acquiring the family business, I went to the capital to wait for the test of merit. The third young master persuaded the fourth young master and the fifth young master to take out all the family property and start a business together...Boss, I want to help them..."

Anxiu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This is your personal matter, and I don't need my consent. However, you can help with money. You are still my shopkeeper, and you need to help me do things well. This Do you understand?"

Ling Erhu nodded hurriedly: "I won't delay the business in the shop, just give them some money..."

Anxiu thought, no matter what, Ling Erhu is a smart and kind person, although he may have some dirty thoughts, he treats his friends openly and aboveboard.

It's not like Zhou Wenxuan at all.

If it was Ling Erhu who was unlucky today, Zhou Wenxuan would definitely watch the joke and take over his business.

********
The day after Ling Erhu left, Zhou Wenzheng came.Now he has changed into a Confucian scholar's attire. Although he has lost a lot of weight, his eyes are shining brightly.

"Sister An, I'm going to study in Kyoto. There are many good teachers there, and I will strive to get a good reputation in the future." Zhou Wenzheng said.

Anxiu was in a daze for a moment, He Shusheng's scientific examination was over, right?Why hasn't he come back now, no news at all?

Straightening her mind, Anxiu smiled and said, "You can finally pursue your dream. Congratulations, Wenzheng! Work hard, and you will be successful in the future."

Zhou Wenzheng nodded, and said again: "I'm leaving tomorrow, Sister An, you have to take care of yourself in the future..."

An Xiu's eyes were suddenly heated by him, and he nodded hurriedly.

Zhou Wenzheng sat down slightly, then went back.After he left, Anxiu asked Nangong to prepare 3000 taels of silver bills and send them to Zhou Wenzheng, saying that the journey was difficult and dangerous, and it would be better to have more money by your side.Afraid that he will be stopped on the way, he can entrust the bank.

After Nangong came back, he said that Zhou Wenzheng refused to accept it. Nangong said a lot of words of persuasion, but in the end he had to say that the money was lent to him, and he would return it to Anxiu when he became a high-ranking official.

Anxiu smiled: "This kid is too single-minded. But it's okay, it's better to go to the capital than to stay in Suqu County... so as not to be provoked by others, turn your face against others..."

Knowing what Anxiu wanted to say, Nangong immediately switched to other topics, and this matter was covered up.

Two months passed, and the flood in the east gradually subsided, and the court's relief food was also distributed.However, there was still a shortage of food in the east, and the price of food was very high for a while.

Anxiu later sent someone to deliver food there, a total of three trips, and each batch was bought very cheaply.The rice is very good and the price is fair. Anji Rice Shop is already famous in several counties in the east.
*********
The situation in the southeast has stabilized. Fortunately for Huo Jue, no large-scale plague occurred.Generally, after a flood, it is easy to cause plague and turmoil.Fortunately, this time, neither of those things happened.It is God's mercy that there is no plague, and there is no turmoil because the problem of rations has been resolved satisfactorily.

On the way back, Huo Jue didn't dare to delay. It's almost three months since he left Beijing, and there should be a lot of business to deal with in the capital.

"The food problem this time is thanks to Anji Rice Shop..." On the way back, Huo Jue sighed, "In such a turmoil, food was transported from a long distance, not afraid of danger, not seeking huge profits, and the price is astonishingly low... that An Ji, is it An Ji who lent us a carriage last time?"

"It should be. Didn't that guy say last time that their boss is called Anxiu, and their housekeeper is Nangong, who always stays close to Anxiu?" Shen Yang said, "In this case, it must be the person who lent us the carriage. ..."

Huo Jue sighed: "People don't have hindsight. If they knew what happened later, they should have seen her at that time. The women in the southeast are comparable to the men in our capital!"

Shen Yang smiled: "If His Majesty really thanked her, it would be good to grant her a vacant title. After all, Anji Mipu contributed a lot to the flood in the southeast this time!"

Huo Jue smiled, but did not answer.There is always a strange feeling in his heart.Anxiu, Xiuan, these two words are just reversed.During that illness, didn't I feel the existence of that girl?
"Shen Yang, let's not go back for now, but go to Suqu County!" Huo Jue said suddenly.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Yang was shocked, "Why?"
