Zou Cheng was shocked and doubtful. It was not because he was so angry that he uttered false accusations, but when he suddenly thought about it carefully, he realized that although his wife came from an official family, she only married him when he passed the imperial examination, and his father-in-law was only a minor. He is just a county magistrate, and his family wealth is not very rich.
However, since he was promoted to the magistrate of Qinjinzhou, the food, clothing and use of his family have become increasingly luxurious. Although he is a little strange, he always thought it was because of the good harvests from several industries. Now it seems that this may not be the case!

Stupid! What a stupid woman!
No, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible!
Zou Cheng narrowed his eyes, raised his head and looked around Shen Ling and Zhuang Keqing, secretly calculating in his heart.
This girl is easy to deal with. She can be thrown into prison and killed for any reason. However, it is difficult to deal with this scholar, who has a great reputation and is still studying in the state school.
"I advise Lord Tongpan not to think of any sinister methods."
Although Shen Ling was standing at the bottom, he could clearly see Zoucheng's expression and naturally knew what he was planning, so Lang Yan spoke out and gave a straightforward warning.
"I have left evidence on this matter and handed it over to a trusted person. If Ke'er and I cannot go back safely today, he will definitely come to this government office with a post and sound the drum to expose it!"
"you!"
Zou Cheng didn't expect that within just a few hours of sending people to seal the shop and arrest the people in the morning, the scholar had arranged everything.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to go home and question his wife now. Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, as long as he dares to put them in jail, someone will beat the drum and accuse them. Lord Zhizhou will definitely know about it. If someone wants to profit from it, then His position is really in danger.

Now, regardless of whether there is a true believer or not, he cannot play with his own future!
Zoucheng was trembling in his heart at this moment, and looked at the young man with some inexplicable fear in his eyes.
This man, this man is so resourceful!
"How about it? Has Lord Tongpan thought it through?"
Shen Ling saw the bruised and purple complexion in his eyes, but he was not impatient. His voice was clear and his face was calm, as if he was not threatening a sixth-grade imperial official, but was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Something like that.
In less than a stick of incense and a few words, the situation between the two of them was completely reversed!
"Good! You're fine!"
Zoucheng glanced at Shen Ling fiercely, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Even if I miss a move today."
"That's all, I'll let you go!"

After that, he leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and never looked at the two people below.
Shen Ling took Zhuang Keqing's cold hand into his palm and shook it slightly. The girl smiled brightly. She turned her head and asked Zou Tongpan, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, "Master Tongpan, since this is a game, Misunderstanding, when can my shop be unblocked?"
Zou Cheng was so angry that he wished that these two people would disappear in front of his eyes, but he didn't know that this girl would come up to him and ask this question again.
But it would be useless to seal the shop now, so it would be better to unseal it first, and wait until he has investigated and dealt with his wife's affairs clearly, and then look for opportunities to deal with them.
This scholar still has to study in the state school, so he can't escape.
Thinking of this, Zoucheng just waved his hand impatiently. Although he didn't even look at him, Zhuang Keqing clearly understood that he and his shop were fine for the time being.
Opening the door, the two walked out hand in hand. The red-clothed yamen waiting outside had a dumb look on his face. He looked at the gloomy-looking Master Tongpan who was holding his forehead on the armrest, and then looked at the two people who were smiling at each other, relaxed and indifferent.
,I didn’t know how to act for a while.qqxonew
"This, Lord Tongpan?"
"Send them away!"
"Ah, this is..."

In addition to the state government office, Zhuang Keqing looked back at the four-character plaque with the words "Zhizhoufu Yamen" and couldn't help but frown.
"Senior officials like the state government are bullying the people and pursuing profits, and they even claim that merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examination. It is simply ridiculous!"
"No wonder your prefecture chief failed to reform the civil service and resigned in anger. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear the thought of being surrounded by people like this!"
The girl's cheeks were red, and she showed no sign of being frightened. She just held the young man's hand and angrily denounced the filthiness of this officialdom.
"Aling?"
Zhuang Keqing chatted happily, but after walking for a while, he realized that the young man beside him had not said a word since he left the government office.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I'm just feeling a little emotional about what happened today."
The young man did not feel relaxed after the incident was resolved, but had a solemn expression on his face. Standing in the noisy street, with people constantly coming and going around him, he seemed to be alone in the world, as if his whole body was covered with a thick layer that no one else could see.
Thick barriers.

What is Aling worried about?
Zhuang Keqing couldn't understand, so she just walked quietly beside the young man, firmly holding his palm, rubbing the faint scars in it, trying to get him out of that unspeakable state as soon as possible.
The whole journey was speechless.
After returning to Tianshui Lane and standing at the door of Zhuang's courtyard, Zhuang Keqing scratched the young man's palm, raised his head and said softly, "Aling, we're home."
The words 'We're home' made Shen Ling wake up instantly. The complicated thoughts in his mind instantly faded away like a tide, leaving only the small brown mottled door in front of him and the worried-looking lady next to him.
The young man's dark eyes lit up, and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Well, we're home."
The door of the small courtyard was pushed open with a "squeak", and in an instant, seven pairs of eyes looked over intently. Among them were surprise, joy, joy, relief, and all kinds of emotions. Zhuang Keqing was surprised for a moment, and then
Smiling sweetly, "We're back safely."
Qin Manzhi couldn't control it at first. She let go of Aman in her arms, ran to her daughter in a few steps, hugged her immediately, and then started crying silently.
Zhuang Keqing didn't know that today's incident had frightened his mother terribly, so he gently patted the woman's back and shoulders and comforted her with gentle words: "Mom, I'm fine. Look, I haven't even scratched my oily skin.
"
Only then did Qin Manzhi think of pulling away, and looked at her daughter from top to bottom, and saw that her daughter was indeed all beard and tail. Except for the skirt being a little dirty and messy, there was nothing unusual about her. This was when she was truly relieved.
Come.

Seeing this, other people in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, especially Lu Qingshu. Although she told a few people in the morning that the yamen servant was quite polite, but in the end, these were words of comfort. The yamen servant was polite and rude, but she was Qing. Clearly.
"Hey! If nothing happens, it will be fine. If nothing happens, it will be fine!"
Mrs. Zhang also came over at this time. She had a cheerful temper and spoke in a high and bright voice. Her vitality suddenly broke the sluggish atmosphere in the small courtyard.
"I just said Mr. Shen is capable. He's back now. Sister-in-law Qin is the same. She's worried because she shed so many tears in vain. Look, her eyes are all swollen."
When she said this, Qin Manzhi turned his face in embarrassment and did not dare to look at his daughter and others.
"Brother Shen is fine. Brother Li and I will go back now."
The scholar who spoke was Pei Qu, who had an outstanding appearance and clear features. He bowed his head slightly, greeted Shen Ling, and was about to pull Li Shoucheng away.
"Hey, wait a minute, what's going on today? Why are you closing down the shop and taking people away? I'm still waiting for Brother Shen to tell you!"
The little scholar whined but refused to leave. Pei Qu looked helpless and whispered: "It's not too late to ask again tomorrow. Brother Shen and his family are all very frightened now. We should take some time to rest with others." .”
These words were both gentle and understanding. After hearing this, the other women nodded frequently and then said goodbye one after another.

"Since I have nothing to do, I will go back first. The men and children at home are still waiting to go back and cook."
"I've been out for a long time, so my mother-in-law won't bother Aunt Qin because she's worried."
A group of women lived nearby. After saying hello and comforting Qin Manzhi, they all went back to their homes. The yard suddenly became quite empty, and Li Shoucheng had no excuse to stay.
"Then, let's talk about it tomorrow, Brother Shen."
"Um."
Shen Ling responded in a low voice, then bowed to Pei Qu gently and said, "I'll excuse you, Brother Pei."
"Of course, Brother Shen, don't worry."
After saying that, no matter how reluctant Li Shoucheng was to leave, he just pulled the person out of the courtyard, and finally closed the door thoughtfully for him.
After everyone had left and Qin Manzhi and Aman had settled down, Zhuang Keqing took the opportunity to quietly ask, "Aling, is it true that the Tongjian woman made loan sharks?"
