The neighbor took a look and didn't recognize anyone in the Zhao family's yard, and sat on the wall with a smile.

"For the sake of your silver coins, I will kindly tell you that County Magistrate Zhao's parents are destined to live in this miserable place."

"Then where do they live?"

The county magistrate's wife's eyes were a little cold.

"I live at No. 17, Qiande Street, Yu County. If you want to find me, go there."

"But I have to remind you that the rich people in Yu County live there, so bring more gifts!"

The neighbor was planning to wait for a day to go to the Zhao family to share the benefits. He had an agreement with the Zhao family, and the more benefits he had, the more he would be given.

"No, I heard the county magistrate said that he came back years ago and his home is here. You are not lying to us, are you?"

Tian Tian looked at the neighbor with disbelief, which made it clear that the neighbor was lying.

"Can I deceive you after you gave me five taels of silver? The county magistrate has no idea where his parents live. This place is just for the county magistrate to see. Otherwise, why would I keep this shabby house?"

The neighbor held his hands and argued with Tian Tian.

The county magistrate's wife burst into tears. She had suffered so much over the years!

The county magistrate was also stunned in the room, and his head was obviously not full of energy.

"We don't believe what you said. Since we are the county magistrate's parents, how could you lie to him? We don't need to be so secretive about our close relatives, right?"

Listening to Tian Tian's words, the county magistrate who tripped over the broken wood in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you know, you little girl? I don't know the mystery here. Anyway, our village chief has discussed it with Uncle Zhao, so that Zhao Pingyuan won't know the truth!"

The neighbor felt that he had said too much and was afraid that the village chief would slap him if he found out, so he quickly ran back to his home with the money in his arms.

"Princess, I want to reconcile!"

It seemed that Mrs. Zhao had exhausted all her strength after saying this.

"It's too early to say this now. Magistrate Zhao was also deceived. If he still refuses to repent after knowing the truth of the matter, then I support your reconciliation!"

Mrs. Zhao is a hard-working woman, and she has suffered a lot of grievances from following County Magistrate Zhao, who can't figure it out.

"Princess, this is not true. Something must have happened to my parents. Otherwise, why are the whole family not here?"

The magistrate looked pale and walked out of the house tremblingly.

"Is it true that you don't have any ideas? You are so poor that you don't even have a pair of decent pants, and you don't even have a tael of silver left in your annual salary. Do you think you are stupid?"

Qingming wanted to dig out the county magistrate's brain and clean it, but what on earth was the thing that got the seeds in his head?

"I~Xiaoguan~"

Magistrate Zhao didn't want to believe what his neighbor said, but it was obvious that no one had lived in the house for a long time.

Every time he comes back, his parents don't let him stay overnight, saying that there is no place to stay at home. How come he doesn't find anything wrong with this?

"Okay, come home with me first. Fuyun Restaurant will reopen tomorrow. Please try the food cooked by the chefs in Yu County!"

The county magistrate already had doubts in his mind. Let him see with his own eyes what kind of life his parents are living. If he doesn't wake up, he deserves to be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life.

"Princess, Yu County is indeed much richer than Zhao County, but I haven't done enough!"

Looking at the clean and tidy streets in Yu County, Magistrate Zhao felt a lot.

"Has your county's health team been established? Are the beggars on duty?"

The political economy has just been issued, and the beggars here in Yu County have already started working, cleaning the streets before dawn every day.

"There are some beggars in Zhao County~"

Magistrate Zhao looked guilty. The beggars in Zhao County were so lazy that they didn't work at all. He posted the notices, but the beggars were still lying lazily and motionless.

"Brain is a good thing. Use your brain more. If they don't work, they won't allow people in the city to help them. If they don't have enough food, they will work!"

Although County Magistrate Zhao is a little clever, he is not very clever, and sometimes he is stubborn and unable to turn around. His master is also cunning, and often he is just lazy and does not make any effort.

"Don't worry, Princess, I will handle this matter properly when I return!"

When the county magistrate received Tian Tian's news, he hurried to Yu County. He really didn't care about the beggar.

"Here we go, this is the house our Tian family bought in Yu County. A house like this costs one thousand taels, and with some furniture and other things added, there is no one who can't live in it without even having one thousand two hundred and three hundred taels!"

Tian Tian glanced at the door of Zhao Mansion. The concierge was tightly closed, and she couldn't see what was going on inside.

"Tian Mansion, Zhao Mansion? Princess, isn't this the case?"

The county magistrate's wife felt that Tian Tian would not tell them the price of the house for no reason, let alone stare at Zhao's house non-stop.

"It's just what you think. One thousand two hundred taels of silver is the salary of a county magistrate who has not eaten or drank for three years!"

The county magistrate's wife's face was pale and bloodless, and the more she thought about the life she had lived these past years, the more aggrieved she felt.

"I'll ask!"

Magistrate Zhao was not stupid. He clenched his fists and planned to knock on the door.

"Ping~Pingyuan~Why are you here?"

"Mom, dad, the head of the family, it's not good, Pingyuan is here!"

The sister-in-law of the Zhao family has a head full of pearls and a face of rouge and gouache. This outfit proves that what the neighbor said is true. County Magistrate Zhao’s parents and brothers have been lying to him all these years!

"Sister-in-law!"

Magistrate Zhao was furious and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Pingyuan? How did you find this place?"

Zhao Pingyuan's eldest brother saw Zhao Pingyuan obviously panicked.

"Brother, when did our family buy such a big house? Why didn't you tell me that we moved?"

Zhao Pingyuan's voice was calm, but there was a coldness in the calmness.

"Pingyuan is back? Isn't it time to tell you? Come on, come in!"

The old man from the Zhao family's eyes flickered, and his mind was quickly calculating how to deal with Zhao Pingyuan.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to come into such a nice house?"

He bought the house with three years' salary, and he served as county magistrate for five years in total. He didn't keep a penny of money, and gave it all to his parents. Is this how they squandered it?

The old man and Brother Zhao of the Zhao family are covered in silk and satin, and the old lady and Sister-in-law of the Zhao family are covered with jewels and jewels. Looking at them again, their clothes are donated by others. What kind of irony is this?

Magistrate Zhao's eyes became even colder.

"Silly boy, this is your home, why can't you come in?"

The old lady from the Zhao family took a step back, the discomfort in her eyes completely betraying her.

"Didn't my parents say that the family didn't even have enough food to eat? The family hadn't made a new dress in several years. If it hadn't been for the help of the villagers, would they have died of cold and hunger? Is this big house bought? Right?"

The county magistrate's wife asked a series of questions, and the Zhao family's faces immediately turned pale.
