The people sent by Meiying finally arrived at Sunjia Village two hours later based on the signals left by the secret guards along the way.

"This one is growing well. This herb is a special medicine for treating colds. It likes fertilizer and water."

"No wonder only this one is growing well, while the others are all skinny and malnourished. So that's why. Thank you for your advice, sir. It seems that I have wronged that brat at home."

"Oh, what do you mean? Is there a story behind this?"

"Look at the position of these two plants. Aren't they very suitable for that brat to pee on?"

"Ah? Haha..."

In a farmyard on the east side of Sunjia Village, Mr. Dou and Old Man Sun were standing in the medicinal field discussing the growth of herbs. The two looked left and right, looking like they were giving orders.

Mr. Dou's nose was indeed very sensitive. At that time, he followed the scent of the herbs in the basket of old man Sun at the gate of Fuzhou City and found his way here. The result did not disappoint him. Although the planting scale of Sunjia Village could not be compared with that of Luojia Village of old man Luo, the temperature difference here was not big throughout the year, the growth cycle of herbs was long, and the quality was better than the herbs produced in Luojia Village, not to mention some rare varieties.

This trip was really worthwhile! After taking a deep breath of the herbal fragrance in the air, Mr. Dou showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Sir, sir!" A child's hurried call came from outside the courtyard door, breaking the original peace and tranquility here.

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?" Because the road in the village was not suitable for carriages, she left the carriage and her child at the entrance of the village. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw the child running, sweating and panting. She couldn't help but scolded in a low voice, "The child in the room just took the medicine and fell asleep. Please speak softly and don't wake him up."

For the first time since he was born, the little boy ignored his master's orders and shouted, "Sir, come back with me quickly!" Then he jumped over the herb bed to drag Mr. Dou.

"Just tell me, why are you panicking? Is this what I usually teach you, sir?"

"The young lady was stabbed and is waiting for the gentleman to save her!" The little boy shouted out in panic, not caring about etiquette at this time.

What? Mr. Dou's heart suddenly trembled, his breathing became tight, his feet slipped, and his body involuntarily tilted to the right.

"Sir, be careful," Old Man Sun whispered, and at the same time reached out to grab him in time.

Mr. Dou didn't bother to thank him. He frowned in disbelief and looked at his child. He asked anxiously, "Where did you get the news? You can't talk nonsense about this."

"Sir, I didn't say anything nonsense. Just now, the young man from the Liu residence followed the mark we left and came here. When I found out, I hurried to find you." The little boy was afraid that his teacher would not believe him, and he got so anxious that his eyes turned red and he was about to cry.

Someone from the Liu residence came over? Then it seemed like this was real. The people from the Liu residence were willing to joke about anything, but when it came to Meixiang and her daughter, they were all extremely strict.

Thinking of this, Mr. Dou's expression became serious. "Brother Sun, something happened at home. I will leave first today. We can meet again when there is a chance."

As he spoke, he hurried towards the herb patch, his steps were chaotic, and he almost stepped on the herbs in the herb patch several times, but he didn't notice it. This shows that the injured person is very important to him.

"Sir, please wait a moment." Old Man Sun stopped the master and servant who were about to leave. "I don't know how the young lady is injured. I have some herbs that may be of use."

After saying this, Old Man Sun turned around and went to the west room where he stored medicinal herbs, and took out some herbs that could stop bleeding, remove blood stasis, nourish blood and replenish qi. His eyes lingered on the innermost box on the shelf in the room for two breaths, and finally he decisively put the box into the backpack.

On the other side, Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng hurried to the Fuzhou government office.

"Please inform the city lord that the young masters of the Chu and Feng families in the capital have important matters to discuss with him." At the gate of the government office, the two were stopped outside by the gatekeeper.

"Where? The capital?" The gatekeeper couldn't help but sneered when he heard this. "Which family is the Chu family or the Feng family? Do you have a token? Go away, the city lord is not someone who can be seen by everyone."

"You?" Feng Yizhen was so angry at the gatekeeper that he was shaking. "Go and report it quickly. If you delay things, you will have nine heads chopped off!"

"Hey, who are you trying to scare? You're always trying to blow my head? Who do you think you are?!" The gatekeeper sneered again, glanced at the two of them with his sidelong eyes, shook his right leg lightly, and stretched out his hand: "It's not impossible to see the city lord, it depends on whether you two can handle it."

"What do you mean?" Feng Yizheng looked at him, somewhat confused.

Before entering Liu's house, Chu Zeming often traveled around Haoyue, and had met many people, seen many things, and dealt with many government offices in various places. Seeing his appearance now, he almost immediately understood what he meant.

A small gatekeeper was so bold as to blatantly demand money and property. It was obvious that the Fuzhou government office was not very clean. Today's matter could not be resolved with ordinary means.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, "Lead the way!"

The gatekeeper was knocked unconscious before he could react. Chu Zeming walked straight into the gate of the government office.

The clerk in the government office saw that the person who came in had ill intentions, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the backyard of the government office.

"My lord, my lord, this is bad, this is bad!"

As the official finished his words, the door of the second concubine's room in the backyard was pushed open with a bang. The door hit the wall, bounced back, and slammed shut again on the city lord.

The official's body shook along with the wall and he cursed in his heart, "What bad luck!"

The city lord came out in dishevel. His good deeds were interrupted, and he shouted angrily with a face full of anger: "Fuck you, who did you say was bad?" After scolding, he still felt unsatisfied and raised his right foot to kick the clerk's butt.

The official made way for him a little, and after receiving a kick that was neither too heavy nor too light, he replied with a smile, "Sir, two young men just arrived at the government office, and they rushed straight into the lobby. I saw that the situation was not right, so I hurried to ask for your instructions."

Two young gentlemen? The city lord was startled, and his mind turned for a while. These days are the Harvest Festival in Fuzhou Prefecture, and he has already arranged everything in advance.

"Does this person look unfamiliar?"

"They look fierce and unfamiliar." The official thought about it seriously and realized that he had never seen these two people before.

Unfamiliar? Young man? The city lord suddenly thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shrank, and a flash of panic appeared in his eyes.

"It's bad, something terrible has happened, let's go, let's go!"
