Chapter 66 Rush(1/2)

Ask Beicheng?

The shopkeeper was happy and stretched out his hand to pat Butler Cheng.

"Then you really asked the right question." He smiled.

Butler Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the boy, is he from the capital?

"Who are you looking for? Who asked you to come?" he asked.

The only ones in the capital that have anything to do with the Cheng family are the Zhou family, oh, and the Fourth Young Master. Did the Fourth Young Master send someone back to deliver a message?

The young man in green clothes looked at him with some confusion.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"This is the housekeeper of the Cheng family." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

The young man in green said, "Oh," but there was no fear, respect, or any joy on his face.

"That's just right. Let me ask you, is Mrs. Cheng's wife at your home now or still living outside?" he asked.

The housekeeper stared at the question.

What?

"You, you are looking for Cheng Jiaoniang?" he asked in shock.

"That's right." said the boy.

"Are you from the Zhou family?" the housekeeper asked.

The boy in green clothes smiled.

"Master Butler, if I were a member of the Zhou family, would I still need to ask for directions?" He smiled, with a hint of undisguised sarcasm.

Butler Cheng blushed slightly at this look, but then he was a little surprised that he actually knew the relationship between the Zhou family and their Cheng family...

"Then which one are you from?" he asked.

"Sir, is the Cheng family's wife at your house?" the young man in Tsing Yi asked with a frown.

Butler Cheng didn't know what to say. Just as he was hesitating, a woman's voice came from inside the building.

"Is it brother Liu'er of the Chen family?"

This voice made everyone turn to look. Butler Cheng looked even more surprised. It was the women from the Qin family. They actually knew each other?

The young boy in Tsing Yi looked happy.

"Ah, moms are here too! That's great!" He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Why are you here?"

"The old man and his wife asked me to send you a New Year gift."

"If you hadn't told me earlier, we would have sent it to our family."

"Let's have some fun separately."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see my wife."

The people here went out chatting and laughing, leaving the teahouse owner and Butler Cheng dumbfounded.

"What they are talking about...is the second master's stupid eldest daughter of yours?" the shopkeeper asked.

Butler Cheng clicked his lips twice, as if he didn't know what to say.

The Qin family has not left for so long, and now the Chen family has come, and it seems that they are all here for this lady.

Which one is the Chen family?

"Dafu, Dafu!"

In the Jiangzhou government office, a guest ran in in a panic, startling the magistrate and three other people who were talking.

The prefect was a little displeased that his Qing guest was so out of character in public.

"Master, someone from the Chen family is here." Qingke said hurriedly without looking at the prefect's face.

"Which Chen family?" the prefect asked angrily.

"The capital, Chen Shao, Mr. Chen's house." Qingke said.

This time, not only the prefect, but also the two subordinate county officials present stood up.

"Why is there no news about this?" Magistrate Song asked anxiously, urging people to get their official robes.

"No, no, sir, he is a servant of the Chen family." Qingke said hurriedly, "The people at the inn have just sent the news."

A servant again?

Magistrate Song frowned slightly and looked at Qing Ke.

"Could it be that...it's the Cheng family again..." he asked.

Qingke looked at him and nodded.

After a period of confusion, Tongsuan Jitui was also called over, and more and clearer information was sent to him.

"...The person who went directly was not the Cheng family, but Nan Cheng..."

"The lady Cheng who complained lives in Nancheng."

"That's right, the wife of the Qin family took her there herself, and it was Mrs. Cheng who she met!"

Speaking of which, Magistrate Song couldn't help but take pictures of several cases.

"I just said how could you be so bold and dare to do such a thing? You really have a big backer behind you," he said.

The word "big backer" made Tong San and Jietui look at each other. This backer also has advantages and disadvantages for them. The advantage is that they don't have to be afraid of Mr. Cheng, but the disadvantage is that they have a sense of propriety in some things...

"Then how should we proceed with this case?" the judge asked in a low voice.

In other words, how to divide the money of the Cheng family, do they need to be more restrained? If this is the case, they will inevitably lack interest.

The magistrate of Song Dynasty twisted his beard in deep thought and said nothing, while Jietui on the side smiled.

"I don't think you need to think too much about it," he said. "Didn't the lady say that she doesn't want a dowry, just a name?"

Magistrate Song shook his head.

"If you don't have any profit, you can't afford it early. There's no point in not wanting the profit, not to mention it's your own money." He said.

Tong San clapped his hands.

"This is easy to handle." He said, "The case we are handling belongs to the Cheng family, not Mrs. Cheng."

In other words, the dowry does not move, and the rest can be dealt with at will.

There were reasons to bother before, but now I have more confidence to bother. Originally, the lady made it clear that she didn't want money, she wanted the Cheng family to pay the price.

After listening to Tongpan's words, the magistrate and Jietui looked surprised and raised their tea bowls to Tongpan.

"Brilliant, brilliant." Everyone laughed.

The three of them drank tea instead of wine and laughed.

"Madam, madam, look, look."

The two maids supported Mrs. Cheng and walked a few steps quickly, then stood in the alley and pointed in that direction.

"That is the person who came to visit my wife again, and he is also from the capital."

It's from Beijing again.

Mrs. Cheng Er could not help but take a few steps forward and squint at the rock.

This is a carriage that is not inferior to the Qin family's. The servants who come down are also brightly dressed, and the gift boxes that are brought down are also large and small.

"I really shouldn't have left at that time, even if I was kicked out, I should have stayed even if I apologized." Mrs. Cheng Er couldn't help but murmured with regret, while asking, "Whose house is this?"

"My surname is Chen," the servant said.

There are many people named Chen in the Chen family in the capital, but what she knows is limited, such as Mr. Chen Shao and Mr. Chen, but not other families.

"Looks like I'm very familiar with the Qin family. They must be a very powerful family." Mrs. Cheng Er said to herself.

And Mr. Cheng here is also listening to the butler's report.

"Your surname is Chen?" Mr. Cheng asked with a frown, "Are you from the capital?"

The butler nodded.

Mr. Cheng thought for a moment, who could it be? What happened to this woman in the capital?

"The eldest lady hasn't come back yet?" he asked.

Mrs. Cheng went to Wang's house, and she must ask about this matter clearly, thinking that she should be back today.

"Sir, I also have a question about the passing deity," the housekeeper said again.

"Speak quickly." Mr. Cheng said hurriedly.

"It is said that it was originally run by a family named Dou, and the business was very prosperous. Later, a happy man appeared in the capital, who was similar to the passing fairy and the price was cheap. So the passing fairy gradually died, and the family named Dou followed suit.
