After learning that the second master’s tongue had been cut out, Zhao Er’s first wife was undoubtedly heartbroken. The fat woman held a handkerchief and cried and begged the doctor to save her husband.

The doctor worked up a sweat before he stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound. As for what the lady said, half of the tongue was missing, and even the gods came to help.

The fat woman asked Liu Quan angrily, "Who hurt the second master?"

Naturally, Liu Quan didn't dare to confess the uncle, so he made an excuse saying that a thief had sneaked in.

The fat lady was dull-minded and had no doubts after hearing this. She just cried and said she wanted to report it to the official.

Liu Quan couldn't stop her, and the second lady moved out of her family home to talk things over. Liu Quan didn't dare to make a decision privately after hearing this, so she went to talk to the uncle about it.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw a dozen police officers coming in from the door, followed by the police chief Meng Jun and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe.

Liu Quan knew without thinking that the middle-aged man in blue robe must be Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie, but he pretended not to know him, looked at Meng Jun and asked: "Captain Meng, what are you doing?"

Meng Jun held the saber in his hand and said to him with a serious face: "This is Mr. Sun, the governor of Yantie. I am here today to inquire about Zhao Er's involvement in the official salt. I also ask Guard Liu to inform the master of the house."

Come out and speak out."

Liu Quan saw a little catcher putting on airs in front of him. He was not in a happy mood today, and his tone of voice was a little irritating: "My uncle escorted the noble lady to Beijing to meet the saint. He just returned home this morning. He was resting after a long journey.

You two can wait here, or you can come back at noon."

When Meng Jun heard that he was using Zhao Shen to suppress him, he looked at him with cold eyes and said indifferently: "The official family is doing things, how can you be allowed to shirk and perfunctory here, or can you be the master of the Zhao family?"

After visiting Mr. Sun yesterday, King Jing told him about the overt and covert struggles in the capital today. On the surface, it looked peaceful, but in fact, since the emperor sent the imperial masters out of the capital, the reputation among the people was not very good, and the Rong family had long been dissatisfied.

The king of Beiyang married the general's daughter and his power expanded. Although the emperor was dissatisfied, the two parties were evenly matched and naturally could not act rashly.

It was the Empress Dowager's wish that the county magistrate's daughter enter the palace. The emperor is currently in a state of distress and has no spare time to take in a concubine. It remains to be seen whether she can enter the harem.

Furthermore, Zhao Shen is just a subordinate of the county magistrate. Even the county magistrate cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Mr. Sun also looked at Liu Quan displeased. He had been busy yesterday and went to the Yamen to understand the situation early this morning. He was already a little impatient. He raised his hand and waved: "What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and call someone."

Liu Quan was speechless. As a guard, he naturally did not dare to take charge of the uncle. He left a sentence: "Wait a moment, you two." Then he ran to report in despair.

Meng Jun saw Mr. Sun tapping his back lightly and saw a wooden stool next to the flower bed in the west yard. He winked to his men and asked him to move the stool over.

The men ran over and quickly picked it up.

Meng Jun put a stool behind Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun immediately blew his beard and glared: "You young man, I am not an invalid. Besides, what does it look like to sit in front of someone else's door? If the people see me, won't they think I am showing off my authority?"

Meng Jun choked, and he didn't know who was sighing on the road. His legs and waist hurt, and he was asked to buy a thicker cushion halfway.

At this time, a chubby woman in a gold robe walked from the backyard. When she saw the official, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran forward and said, "Are you here at Zhao's house to help investigate my husband's injury?

”

Meng Jun recognized her and knew that she was Zhao Er's wife. When he heard that Zhao Er was injured, he frowned and asked, "How injured?"

When the second lady heard his inquiry, she thought they were here to investigate the matter, so she cried and told the truth, "Just now, my husband's tongue was cut out by a gangster. The doctor said that he lost too much blood and his life is almost unsafe. I am sorry that my husband offends anyone."

The old wounds on the body have just healed, but this has added new injuries. You must catch the murderer quickly and punish him severely."

Meng Jun frowned upon hearing this. He had sent a secret sentinel around here last night to keep an eye on it. There must have been no intruders, otherwise someone would have informed him long ago.

Meng Jun was about to ask who had contacted Zhao Er, when a cheerful male voice came from the opposite side.

"It's Zhao Shen's fault that Mr. Sun's visit has failed to welcome you. Please don't worry about it."

Zhao Shen walked over and changed into a dark red brocade robe. He had black hair and a crown. He must have been freshened up and dressed up. Behind him was Liu Quan, who was bowing his head and being scolded.

Master Sun frowned slightly when he saw it was Zhao Shen, and said casually: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhao's house."

If he remembers correctly, this Mr. Zhao is the county magistrate's right-hand man, and he can be seen every time the county magistrate is around.

Since he was working beside the county magistrate, he actually dared to get involved in the official salt case.

Zhao Shen saw that Mr. Sun still remembered him, with a polite smile on his face, he clasped his fists and said: "It was in the lower house that Mr. Sun still remembered Zhao Shen. It is Zhao Shen's honor."

With that said, Zhao Shen glanced at his crying younger siblings again, and said quietly: "Brothers and sisters, the eldest brother has something important to discuss with someone. You can go back and take care of the younger brother."

The second lady originally wanted to inquire about her husband, but when she saw her eldest brother's eyes were dark and his face was unsmiling, she felt a little afraid. She quickly leaned over and whispered softly: "Yes."

After the people left, Zhao Shen had a smile on his face again. He looked at Mr. Sun and Meng Jun and explained: "Something happened in the house this morning. My brothers and sisters are pure and kind-hearted. If I said something inappropriate just now, please forgive me."

Forgive me, it’s just housework."

Meng Jun glanced at him, he was the only one talking to the Second Madam, and this was obviously with him.

Mr. Sun could not stand for a long time and his back was sore. Hearing his chatter, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not interested in your housework. I have something important to ask today."

Zhao Shen looked calm and said with a smile: "The two of you, please follow me to the hall. I have already ordered people to prepare refreshments. Let's drink tea and chat."

A group of people walked into the hall,

As soon as Meng Jun and Mr. Sun sat down, a maid brought refreshments.

"This is my first time for Mr. Sun to come to the house. I didn't have time to prepare a banquet. Please forgive me for the improper reception." Zhao Shen said complimentarily.

Mr. Sun glanced at him, clearly knowing what they were here to do, and yet they could still gossip here so calmly. As expected, the people around the county magistrate were not ordinary people.

He cleared his throat and said: "I'm not here to visit relatives and friends. There's no need to forgive or forgive me. I don't like beating around the bush. I came here today mainly because of the official salt matter. Before coming to your house, I also went to the Yamen to learn more.

situation, there are still some things to ask the parties involved."
