Shen Ling was silent for a while, stretched out his arms to take a look, wrapped Zhuang Keqing in his arms, took the girl's hand and put it in his palm, caressing it carefully, as if to confirm whether the person in his arms was really intact.
"Aling?"
Zhuang Keqing stayed there obediently, but still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart. Why did Aling have the handle on Tong San, and how did he know that the person behind this was Tong San?
"The last time Ruian came to cause trouble upstairs, I was on guard. During this period, I have been looking for opportunities to pry."
Shen Ling didn't say it clearly.
In fact, he was not sure at first that the person behind this was Yizhou Tongpan, but Ruian Tower had a large presence in the state capital, and most of the people who came and went were high-ranking officials. If the other party could come to his door so aggressively and forcefully buy the formula, it must have happened in the past. It has succeeded many times.

But for the shopkeeper to act so brazenly, he must have a strong backer, and this backer will definitely not be some petty official, but a high-ranking official of some rank.
In a place like the state capital, what can be called an adult is nothing more than the magistrate of the state, or the general judge. The county magistrate further down cannot reach here at all.
Originally, the first thing he suspected was not Tong San, but Zhizhou, but later he discovered that Zhizhou, although he had no outstanding political achievements during his tenure, could be regarded as fair and impartial in handling several cases. And if you look closely, you can see that there is still some concern for the people and love for the people, and he will definitely not do anything to compete with the people for profit.
However, the general judge and the magistrate here are two extremes. Although this person has a good official reputation, judging from the several cases he knows, he is deliberately biased against merchants, especially those related to Ruian Building. Judu judge The people lost the lawsuit.
From this point of view, it is clear who is the proprietor behind Rui'an Building.
As for the clues to the trial, he deliberately found it. After all, as long as someone is doing it, there will definitely be clues, and what he lacks most is patience and thinking.
It's just that it's better not to talk to Ke'er too much about the hard work and planning, so as not to worry her again.
Shen Ling said it without further explanation. Although Zhuang Keqing still didn't understand clearly, she just leaned against the other person's chest quietly at this time, enjoying this rare quietness and relaxation.
If she doesn't want to say it, she doesn't want to say it. Aring's temperament is like this. She has to bear everything by herself and hide everything in her heart. All she can do is stand by his side silently and support him with all her strength. Rely on him wholeheartedly.

Zhuang Keqing raised her head, and from her angle, she could see the young man's clearly raised throat bone and refreshing jaw line from bottom to top.
I don't know when he started to look like an adult man.
As for herself, Zhuang Keqing couldn't help but lower her head again, glanced at her thin wrist and the lonely fingers wrapped in the opponent's palm, and then sighed without trace.
After raising it for so long, my skin is only a little whiter and tenderer, and I haven't even grown much in height. Maybe I lost it when I was young, and I can't make up for it when I grow up?
Feeling that the girl in his arms was suddenly depressed, Shen Ling took her hand, put it to her lips and gave her a peck.
"What's wrong with Ke'er?"
The tone is gentle and soft, and the ending is lingering.
Zhuang Keqing had the nerve to say that he disliked his bean sprout figure. He just pretended to cough and then said his thoughts seriously, "Aling, I want to close the bean sprout shop."
"Well, it's okay to turn it off."
The young man did not ask for the reason, but just responded calmly, and then hugged the girl tighter, even lowering his head and burying it in the warm crook of her neck, smelling the faint fragrance.

Zhuang Keqing was slightly itchy by the breath coming from her neck. She struggled a little, but was still hugged tightly.
"Aling, why don't you ask me?"
The young man's deep voice came to my ears, "What Ke'er thinks is also what I think."
"Although other methods have been used to stabilize the general agreement, the other party will definitely not give up until the formula is solved. It would be a good idea to temporarily close the shop and publish or resell the recipe."
Unexpectedly, he only mentioned the beginning, and Aling could guess almost exactly what she was thinking. Zhuang Keqing immediately sighed.
"Aling is indeed very smart, and the little girl admires him."
She sincerely praised her, but it elicited a deep smile from the young man and a delicate kiss on her ear. Zhuang Keqing's cheeks turned red and he couldn't help but turn his face away. As a result, his vulnerable parts were even more exposed to Shen Ling.
The tip of the nose and under the lips.
The young man's hot breath sprayed on her sensitive skin in waves. Along with the annoying pecks, Zhuang Keqing felt his body tremble slightly.
Can't sleep this night...

After Zoucheng got out of the office, he angrily went to the backyard and entered the flower hall where his wife usually lived.
Inside, several luxuriously dressed women gathered together, drinking tea and talking with smiles. They were talking to each other, and they were faintly flattering the lady sitting in the middle, Mrs. Qi.
Zoucheng stepped into the flower hall. When the women saw him, their faces were filled with joy and they said with warm smiles: "The master is back."
But although they were very attentive, no one came forward. They only waited for Madam Qi to stand up before they came together to salute.
"Everyone get down!"
There was a fire in Zoucheng's heart, and his face was livid at this moment. The concubine was always looking at people's eyes. Who could not know that the master was angry now, with a look of fear on his face, and quickly retreated without saying a word.
"What's wrong, sir? You're so angry."
The eldest lady looked disdainfully at the concubines who were leaving in a hurry, then walked forward with a smile and asked softly.
"You actually have the nerve to ask me?!"
Zou Cheng glared at Mr. Qi bitterly, seeing that her hair was covered with pearls and emeralds, she was wearing gold and jade, and her whole body was covered with silk. I am afraid that Mrs. Zhizhou was not as arrogant as her, and he immediately believed the scholar's words even more.

"Why do you say this about me?"
You were fine when you went out in the morning, but why did the office get so angry and scolded you for no reason?
Mrs. Qi didn't understand it at all. She thought it was those people who were talking nonsense in front of the master, saying that they were harsh on the bastard. She immediately thought about it quickly, shook her sleeves, pressed the corners of her eyes, and was about to burst into tears.
"Master, do you blame me for being too harsh on Sheng'er? There is nothing we can do about it. He has been raised under Aunt Liu's knees. Now he is six years old, but he still doesn't know how to respect his mistress and respect his elders. He looks like an ignorant mess.
It looks like, if things continue like this, when he grows up, won't he cause trouble for the master?"
When Zoucheng heard this, his anger became even more intense.
What a stupid woman, with such little thoughts, do you think his general judge is blind? If she doesn't say anything on weekdays, she is acquiescing, so it's not her turn to explain!
"Hmph! How can I, Tongjian, survive until Sheng'er gets into trouble? You alone can ruin my future. If it gets worse, I might even be confiscated and exiled!"
When Qi heard this, she was shocked.
Isn't the master angry because of Aunt Liu's bitch? Why else could it be? Over the years, I have put a lot of effort into this house.
"Don't you know you're wrong?"

Zou Cheng was extremely angry and didn't give Qi a chance to make any more wild guesses. He just slapped the table and shouted angrily.
"Then let me ask you, have you let usury go unnoticed?"
At this time, Mrs. Qi didn't know that her affair had been exposed, but she didn't take it seriously.
Isn't it just to put usury money? None of those official wives have a business shop. She has a small dowry, so why can't she find some way to make quick money?
Moreover, in this state capital, where one person is less than ten thousand people, no one is trying to curry favor with her. Otherwise, how could she know how to make money by lending money to a housewife?
"Master, what's the point of being angry? Look at the food and drink in the house. Everything is exquisite. There is no shortage of rare treasures for Shangguan's birthday. Even my aunt brought one after another. How can I spend anything other than this?
money?"
At this point, Mrs. Qi slightly rolled her eyes and sneered, "If I rely on my salary, I don't know how I will live a life of eating chaffy vegetables."
"you you!"
Zou Cheng was stunned by her words. He felt his chest was stagnant, then stuffy, and then there was a fishy sweetness in his throat. He spat out blood with a "pop" sound. Qi's face was so frightened that he turned pale.
.
"Master! Master, what's wrong with you! Don't scare me!"
Mrs. Qi hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over to help the old man who was still vomiting blood, and shouted for help.
Zoucheng was speechless at this moment, he only regretted endlessly in his heart, why did he marry such an ignorant woman, maybe he would be ruined here!
