Huang Xianzhou and Mr. Yao walked in tandem, mixed in with the scattered crowd, and walked slowly back to the temporary cabin where they stayed.
Sitting at the door of the house, Mr. Yao kept patting and rubbing his right arm and looked at Huang Xianzhou. After a moment, he laughed and said, "Dong Weng has been prepared for this."
Huang Xianzhou hummed, squinted his eyes, and didn't know where to look. After a while, he sighed and lowered his voice and said, "Have you seen the little girl next to the prince?"
Mr. Yao was startled and shook his head hastily, "I didn't pay attention. From the time we saw the prince to the beginning of the case trial, one after another, my eyes were dazzled. Speaking of which, I owe you for reminding me all morning.
I brought an extra thick stack of paper."
"It's that little girl from the Li family." Huang Xianzhou sighed again.
Mr. Yao raised his eyebrows, "Dong Weng is worried about that girl?"
"Well, alas."
"Dong Weng is so serious. What does the little girl have to worry about? How can the prince protect a little girl? With a little care like the prince, it will be enough for her to feed her for the rest of her life." Mr. Yao comforted her.
Tao.
"It's not that I can't protect you, but I'm just wondering, what does the prince like about that little girl? Why is he so nice to her?" Huang Xianzhou frowned.
"A noble man like the Crown Prince can do whatever he wants. How could we know? It's fate."
Mr. Yao doesn’t even have a wife, so he knows nothing about anything related to women.
"Is that bad karma or good karma?" Huang Xianzhou sighed again.
"Why does Dong Weng care so much about that little girl?" Mr. Yao was a little puzzled.
"She gave me some advice." Huang Xianzhou said in a low voice.
"Can she give you some advice? Then maybe, she has also given some advice to you?"
"That's what you said!" Huang Xianzhou paused for a moment, then slowly hummed, "Maybe, who knows."
"Don Weng, don't worry about others, let's discuss our matters carefully." Mr. Yao glanced around.

Gu Yan and his entourage rushed out of Linhai Town like wind and clouds, and rushed for more than ten miles in one breath before slowing down their horses.
Farming is busy in July and August, and farmers are busy in the paddy fields on both sides of the road. The children playing on the field stalks look curiously at their team of brightly dressed and angry horses.
Li Xiaonan looked at the farmland and the children on both sides with a smile.
"Why are you so happy?" Gu Yan followed Li Xiaonan's gaze and looked at the children on the field stalk.
"Uncle Datang said that this year's harvest will be good, and the ears of rice will be particularly plump." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"Well, then I can get three to five more buckets, no wonder I'm so happy." There was a hint of ridicule in Gu Yan's tone.
"Your harvest is pretty good today," Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned slightly sideways, and looked at Li Xiaonan's face, "Are you so happy because my harvest is pretty good today?"
"Yes." Li Xiaonan nodded affirmatively.
"Then you haven't thought about why I brought you with me?" Gu Yan twirled the riding whip.
"Take me with you. You were just happy to bring a little girl here to open your eyes. Who knew that a fight disrupted the situation and hurt your face? You are so angry. You can be forgiven."
Li Xiaonan smiled.
"You are quite clever." Gu Yan clicked his tongue, looked sideways at Li Xiaonan, and said seriously: "This is called taking advantage."
"Well, I know, just use it."
"Are you often taken advantage of?"
"How do I have that kind of worth? It's not bad that you are often taken advantage of."
Gu Yanshi laughed out loud and laughed for a while before he stopped laughing and said, "You are often with me. This is your worth."
"Oh, no one has ever given me a gift. I went to the grocery store at the door to buy soy sauce and told the shopkeeper: I live on the same street, so I can give you half a spoonful more. The shopkeeper said: I have a small business and I can't afford it." Li Xiaonan
Sigh.
Gu Yan laughed out loud.

He Ruiming sent Gu Yan outside the town. Seeing a group of people running away, he raised his hand to wipe his sweat and hurried back.
In the old house of the He family, He Chengze was sitting on the porch, slowly making tea and drinking tea.
When He Ruiming came in, He Chengze looked at him and said warmly: "Go and wash up first and change your clothes."
"Okay." He Ruiming turned around and walked to the back. After a while, he cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, sat down opposite He Chengze, took the teapot from He Chengze, and started making tea again.
"As we walked from the pier to the town, did the prince say anything else?" He Chengze asked slowly.
Everything that happened on the dock was reported to him one by one by the boys at the same time.
"I didn't say anything. I looked very angry," He Ruiming replied.
"Among the group of outsiders who were fighting today, there was A Wu's brother." He Chengze looked solemn.
"Huh? Yes." He Ruiming sat upright and looked at his father.
"Awu came and left, then many people came, and there was chaos at the pier, and then things like today happened." He Chengze spoke in a low voice, speaking very slowly.
He Ruiming's eyes widened, "What do you mean, Dad? Is there a hand behind this? Your Majesty?"
"Who knows." He Chengze lowered his eyelids, picked up the cup, and slowly sipped the tea.
"And that Huang Xianzhou." He Ruiming was stunned for a while and then added.
"Yeah!" He Chengze hummed appreciatively.
"What is the prince going to do?" He Ruiming leaned forward with fear in his tone.
"You can't see clearly yet." He Chengze slowly sipped a cup of tea, put down the cup, looked at He Ruiming and said: "Last year, the Crown Prince said that he would ask you to stay with him as counselor at any time. From tomorrow on, you will go to Biye Dang every day.
It’s worth it.”
He Ruiming was startled, "It was the prince who said he didn't need to go there every day. If he had something to do, he would ask me to come over."
"At that time, the Crown Prince didn't say that he wanted to clean up the Customs and Excise Department. Today he did, so you should go on duty." He Chengze took the teapot from his son's hand and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Okay." He Ruiming frowned, "Dad, the prince really wants to clean up the Customs and Excise Department? What does he want to clean up? How far does it go?"
"I don't know, the Customs and Excise Department is not going to be able to clean it up to the level it wants to, but it's going to the level it can clean it up to." He Chengze narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What about me?" He Ruiming looked at his father and asked vaguely.
"Do the best you know and do the best you can." He Chengze said calmly.
"Okay." He Ruiming breathed a sigh of relief.
When his father said this, he felt at ease.
He couldn't explain why, but when he was with the prince, he didn't dare to be half-hearted. He always felt that the prince seemed to be able to see through everything.
Although the prince is more than ten years younger than him, he always feels that the prince is much more sophisticated than him. In fact, he feels that the prince is like his father, who has many scheming ideas and hides many secrets. p>
