My harem is a bit big

He and Lilia watched quietly without interrupting.

I don’t know how long it took, but another visitor came to the door.

This time, it was a man dressed as a police officer.

He noticed the presence of the Yanhuang people and cast a questioning look at the earl.

The latter wiped his mouth and put the napkin on the table:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The policeman saluted and reported:

"Reporting to the Earl, we found the body of County Magistrate Zhou at the dock."

In the absence of the city lord, the highest decision-making body in Wanguo City is the county government.

Upon hearing that Magistrate Zhou had died in the south of the city, Earl Charles realized something was wrong.

His face quickly fell, and he decided to go to the scene to see the situation:

"Sorry, Mr. Chen. As you can see, I still have important matters to deal with here."

"It doesn't matter. It's almost time for me to go home at this time."

Seeing Chen Duoyu's resignation, Lilia stood up and said:

"Mr. Chen, let me see you off."

Seeing this, Earl Charles coughed dryly:

"Just let Arthur send it off, Lilia, you stay."

"Father……"

Chen Duoyu knew that he wanted to talk to his daughter in private.

Then he bowed slightly, said goodbye wisely, and left.

After he left, the police were driven out by the count.

Now, only Charles and his daughter are left in the hall.

The yellow light shone on the count's face like a potato:

"do you like him?"

"like."

"How long have we known each other, and you are ready to marry him?"

Lilia was a little shy, lowered her head and hummed.

Earl Charles knew that women were not allowed to stay at university.

But as someone who has experienced it, he needs to advise:

"Son, this man is not simple, you can't control him."

"so what?"

Lilia looked directly at her father with firm eyes:

"I don't want to marry him!"

……

110 Chen Lang, it’s time to practice dual cultivation

The daughter is so stubborn, just like her mother.

Earl Charles stared at this pretty face and his thoughts went back to the past:

"If Her Majesty the Queen had not advocated freedom of marriage and opposed political marriage, I would not have known Elena. It is your freedom to marry whomever you want, and I will not interfere. But again, my good daughter, I hope you can be happy. . I have heard about Chen Duoyu’s deeds for a long time. He has two wives now, and you will be easily bullied if you marry him. "

Lilia was born into a wealthy family with excellent conditions.

This kind of growth soil cultivates an independent outlook on life.

She did not fully agree with what Earl Charles said:

"Father, I am very grateful that you brought me up to this age after my mother passed away. You have mentioned many times that you hope I can find my own happiness. But this kind of thing is easier said than done."

Seeing that the other party was silent, Lilia began to list the people she had met in the past:

"Like Mr. Stark of the Royal Bank, he is quite talented, mature and handsome. But in his eyes, he only sees money and steam machinery. Christopher, the son of the Grand Knight Commander, is also enviable in both talent and appearance. But in his eyes Only the cold knight's sword has no interest in ladies. You know better than me what kind of candidates the rest are."

"Chen Duoyu is very good to both his wife and his friends. It would be strange if such a high-quality man is not in demand. Now I have put aside my reserve and am working hard to pursue happiness. If my father is worried, he can help me again. check."

Earl Charles stared into her red eyes and smiled:

"That's natural. If I want to marry you, you have to pass my test."

"Hehe, I knew that father is the best."

"If you have free time these days, invite him to be your guest more often. I will spare some time to help you understand more."

After speaking, he stood up and looked out of the hall:

"If Magistrate Zhou dies, he will die, but the trouble is that he died in the south of the city. Those literati in the Xia Dynasty will definitely make a big fuss. I will go to the scene first and ask the butler to prepare the dishes and wait for me to come back. Warm it up before eating."

"Okay, my father."

……

Wanguo City, east of the city.

More than 30 members of the Red Flower Society returned to the base carrying several bags of rice and brown rice.

They went out for a day and didn't get much money.

I used my remaining money to buy some food at a low price, hoping to last for a few more days.

"Sister Yu'er, sister Yu'er."

A member of the Red Flower Club ran up to him out of breath.

Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly and asked:

"what happened?"

"When I was just putting the rice away, I heard the old man say: At three o'clock in the morning, someone came here to look for us..."

Xiao Yu'er's face fell and became a little solemn:

"Are they the government agents? How many people are here?"

The members of the Red Flower Club shook their heads like rattles:

"Not a cop."

"no?"

"Yes, it is said to be Boss Chen of Yunan Hotpot Restaurant on West Street. He came here to ask around and said he was looking for us. Later, when he saw that we were not there, he gave more than 1000 taels of silver notes to buy food for everyone. "

"More than 1000 taels? That's a lot!"

For example, the food that Honghuahui will bring tonight is old rice processed at a low price by the store.

Funds are limited and there is no other way.

The banknote provided by Chen Duoyu undoubtedly provided help in times of need.

If you use it to buy cheap rice, it will be enough for everyone to last for another ten days and a half.

"Yes, Sister Yu'er, do you want to collect them now and go to the rice grain store to buy rice?"

"If you want it, do it quickly! Hurry!"

In addition to the group of people living in the east of the city, there are many families outside the city.

If there is plenty of rice, there is no need to drink porridge all the time.

If the clear soup is short of water, you will have no energy to plow the land after drinking too much.

When counting the money, Brother Wu who killed Magistrate Zhou was not found.

All his men belong to Xiao Yu'er.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention the trace of this person again.

The elderly and children living here are often taken care of.

They honestly handed over their banknotes for the Red Flower Club to coordinate.

During the counting period, a member asked:

"Sister Yu'er, are we going to the hot pot restaurant to find that boss Chen?"

"Others have donated so much money, so why don't you go and see it?"

"Sister Yu'er, I feel like a trap."

Xiao Yu'er shook his head and disagreed with this statement:

"I don't feel like it, do you know why?"

The members of the Red Flower Club shook their heads and said nothing.

"The government doesn't have much contact with us, so there's no reason to spend so much money to set up a trap. Anyway, I will go to the hot pot restaurant tomorrow afternoon to express our gratitude to this kind man."

"Sister Yu'er, otherwise I will go for you."

"No, it's easier for a woman to hide her identity and less likely to be suspected. I will try to persuade him to join us. Once there is financial support, the Red Flower Club can hold more activities against the imperial court. This kind of thing has to be done by me. "

The calculation of the amount is done openly in front of everyone.

All the banknotes added up to a total of 1740 taels.

Xiao Yuer called his men and distributed small denomination banknotes.

Let them quickly go to the rice and grain store to purchase food while the city gate is still open.

Use a wheelbarrow or carry it on your shoulders to transport it outside the city.
