"Yes!" Shang Hongcheng nodded.

He couldn't figure it out. The Zhou family was not short of money. In Shao'an City, the family had a great fortune. What kind of children could not be bought and wanted to steal other people's children?

Shang Hongcheng came to Shao'an Mansion in the past ten years and has never heard of the old stories about Shao'an Mansion twenty years ago.

Before coming, someone told him that 40% of the 100% wealth of Shao'an Mansion is in the hands of the people, 40% of the big merchants, and another 20% are in the Zhou family.

The Zhou family has deep roots and lush leaves here, and is not an ordinary wealthy family.

But after all, he is a business owner, and no matter how powerful he is, he cannot become a high-ranking official.

Shang Hongcheng has been in Shao'an Mansion for many years. Seeing that Zhou Mingyao is a capable person, he promoted him.

Zhou Mingyao transformed from a minor official into a magistrate. He really had real talents and knowledge, but...

"Mingyao, don't worry. If there is any grievance in it, I will definitely find out for you. You and I have worked together for many years and are like brothers. I should believe in your character!" Shang Hongcheng patted Zhou Mingyao on the shoulder and said.

"Dad!" Yun Tao rushed towards his father excitedly with the drawing board.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

Yun Tao followed Yun Huachun's gaze and saw nothing.

"Uncle Zhong is gone." Yun Huachun said.

"Dad, don't worry, Grandpa Zhong is so big that he will take good care of himself." Yun Tao comforted him.

"Mom and Yan'er are still waiting for us to go back at home."

Zhong Da stood in a tall building opposite the county government, looking down at everything. When he saw Yun Huachun searching, he thought he must be looking for him.

"I thought my subordinates had admitted their mistakes, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Zhong was really here." The man's clear voice came from behind Zhong Da.

Zhong Da turned around, and behind him was a man with cold eyes, wearing a silver silk stitch uniform and a purple gold token around his waist, which was extremely noble.

"I've met Lord Qi!"

"Shouldn't Eunuch Zhong be with the prince? Why are you here?" Qi Kun asked in confusion, carefully looking at the expression of the old man in front of him.

The White Dragon envoy supervised all officials in the court and the prince was no exception.

"Mr. Qi is so bad. I am ordered to protect the princess, not the prince." Zhong Da bowed.

"Why might Eunuch Zhong answer my question first?"

"Zhong Da protected the princess all the way and fled here..."

"The person below Eunuch Zhong knows?"

"know……"

The two of them asked and answered each other, and Zhong Da told the matter honestly, saving the part about Su Huai.

Zhong Da told Qi Kun that he had just sneaked into a convoy as a refugee, and it happened to be the group of refugees who came to the yamen today.

"The princess should not stay among the refugees."

Zhong Da smiled when he heard the scene, "This is natural, but there are many assassins all the way. Rampantly exposing the princess' identity will surely attract people with sinister intentions. Only by hiding among the refugees can we safely arrive at Shao'an Mansion..."

"I have already sent a letter to the Jiang family. The Jiang family is the princess's foreign family. I will wait for the princess to be fully prepared, and people from the capital have also sent to spread the news."

Qi Kun held his hands behind his back and nodded, "I'm relieved to be careful with Eunuch Zhong."

"It's just that the news that the White Dragon Envoy appeared here must have known about Eunuch Zhong."

"I deliberately attracted the attention of the White Dragon Envoy. Does Eunuch Zhong want me to interfere in the following matters, or do you not want me to interfere?" Qi Kun said with a slight smile in his tone.

"Mr. Zhong just accompanied the benefactor in the convoy to come here."

"Mr. Zhong is doing his own things, and Lord Qi just does his own things."

Qi Kun smiled softly and looked at the person below.

"The prince's life and death are uncertain, and the assassin has not been arrested. If the princess encounters anything, she will come to me." Qi Kun said.

"If Eunuch Zhong returns to Beijing the next day, if he has time, he will invite our White Dragon Envoy's yamen to give some advice."

"Zhong Da is so honorable to be invited by the Lord." Zhong Da saluted respectfully.

"It's getting late, Zhong will leave first."

"I'll send Eunuch Zhong a ride..."

After this friendly conversation between the two, they parted ways.

Qi Kun stood under the platform and looked at the crowd below, but the subordinates behind him couldn't figure it out.

"Sir, the princess is the grandson of the Dragon Prince. Do we really need to escort the princess? What if something happens to the princess..." the subordinates said worriedly.

Qi Kun shook his head, "The southern aristocratic family is headed by the Jiang family. People from the Jiang family don't have to worry about the safety of the princess. You and I have official duties, so we have to return to Beijing to report on time. No matter where the white dragon envoy goes, it will attract attention. It is not safe to take the princess on the road."

"What's more, this Eunuch Zhong is not an ordinary eunuch..."

"Then Eunuch Zhong came to the county government on purpose to attract you to interfere in the case here!" The subordinate suddenly realized.

“Eunuch Zhong said something very right…”

"What words."

"Just do what you do well." Qi Kun is meaningful.

The White Dragon Sect couldn't understand and thought he had said something that he was taboo about his boss, so he hurriedly knelt down.

"Sir, I'm too much talkative."

"It's not that you're too talkative, you're too young to understand the old fox's teachings." Qi Kun said leisurely.

Zhong Da’s duty is to protect the princess and send her back to the capital safely.

His duties were to supervise all officials of the prefecture and report these to the emperor and the emperor.

The princess is His Majesty's granddaughter. When he encounters something in front of him, there are still people who report the case, so it is naturally his duty.

If he didn't find out the matter well, the princess would come back to Beijing and mention it later that someone bullied her on the road, and the emperor got angry and he would be the one who suffered.

Thinking about it this way, it was Zhong Da who asked him to help with the work, but it turned out that he had received Zhong Da's kindness.

Qi Kun was helpless.

Shang Hongcheng had just sent Zhou Mingyao away and asked him to go back and prepare well. He heard the people below sending a message saying that Bailong was looking for him.

Immediately, I didn't even bother to drink water, and ran over quickly with my hat.

Shang Hongcheng arrived at the yard panting, wiped the sweat from his forehead, tidied up his clothes and entered the door.

"Sir, please see all the adults. I wonder what is important to find a low-level position?" Shang Hongcheng said enthusiastically with a smile.

But I feel bitter, so tired, so there are too many things.

Don't ask him to take a look at it if he picked up something wrong on the file.

"Mr. Shang, I heard that a group of refugees outside sued the official, saying that someone was forcibly robbing children around Shao'an Mansion. Is there anything wrong?" Qi Kun asked with a stern face.

"Report to the Lord, this is indeed true. This case has some clues. The officials sent someone to capture the suspect. If the trial is over, they have to wait." Shang Hongcheng answered honestly.

He didn't favor anyone!

"So many refugees have come to Shao'an Mansion, but I haven't heard of how Lord Shao will place them. I wonder what Lord Shang's plans are as a parent official?"

There were several stoves in the room. It was obviously able to make people sweat, but Shang Hongcheng felt a chill behind him.
