The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

After several days of running around, Li Shixian had everyone sit at the tea stall for the entire day, and never left except to go to the toilet.

After the blunder on the first day, the shopkeeper was also very careful in serving. Fortunately, he later learned that Li Shixian was waiting for someone, so he no longer worried about it.

Even the beggar, who was wary at first, calmed down a little after hearing that Li Shixian was waiting for someone.

After several days of tracking, Li Shixian finally found the lair of this group of beggars, and also confirmed Xie Shuting's guess.

After finishing the last cup of tea, Li Shixian casually picked up ten copper coins and threw them out, then rolled up his sleeves and returned to the back house of the county government office.

After a heavy snowfall a few days ago, Laigu County has welcomed the scorching sun again.

Faced with the fact that the winter was not cold, the head of the Six Yamen, who had previously had doubts, was now more convinced of Xie Tingwen's guess.

Tomorrow a great disaster will sweep across the Song Dynasty.

In the back garden, Xie Shuting boiled tea and enjoyed a rare relaxing time.

Lian Xi smelled the faint tea fragrance, took a sip and said, "I didn't expect this year's new tea to taste so good."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Shuting responded calmly, "Xi'er! The tea tastes good this year. Ask Lian Yue to arrange for someone to send me some more."

"I obey your command." Lian Xi leaned forward and responded.

While the two were talking, a figure in white appeared in mid-air and came to the tea table.

Lian Xi was frantically protecting Xie Shuting. When he saw who was coming, he said angrily, "Miss Li! There is a door but you don't go through it. Why do you always climb over the wall?"

"Climb over the wall quickly! Besides, this is the back court, what problem can there be?" Li Shixian waved his hand, showing the free and easy temperament of a man of the rivers and lakes.

Lian Xi stamped her feet, glanced at Li Shixian, and said with a hint of complaint: "You Xi is dressed as a man and always climbs over the wall to enter the courtyard. Aren't you afraid of damaging my young lady's innocence?"

"This..." Li Shixian was a little cold. She really didn't expect this.

Seeing Li Shixian's frustrated expression, Xie Shuting covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Shixian! Why don't you change back into your daughter's clothes? I think you..."

"You can stop it."

Li Shixian waved her hands and said, "Shu Ting! You know me. If I change back into my daughter's clothes, it will be inconvenient for me."

"You! I didn't think it through."

Xie Shuting apologized repeatedly and poured a cup of tea for Li Shixian: "Try it, it was just delivered today. If you like it, I'll give you half a catty."

Li Shixian just sniffed it and praised it endlessly, "Good tea. It is really 'The drunken dream is over, the tea fragrance has not yet faded away the worries. One leaf contains thousands of flavors, and the words are better than Shao Kang'. Such good tea should naturally be left for me."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Xie Shuting nodded and smiled at Lian Xi while speaking.

After being reminded by his young lady's eyes, Lian Xi reluctantly took out the tea that he had prepared in advance from the brocade box on the right.

"This year's new tea has only arrived in one pound, and the young lady has prepared half a pound for you."

Li Shixian took the tea leaves with a smile on his face, opened it and smelled it, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

"It's true that 'a leaf contains a thousand flavors, and its words are better than Shao Kang's'! Thank you Shuting."

"I'm glad you like it. The tea will arrive in half a month, and I'll ask Lian Xi to prepare it for you then." Xie Shuting said with a smile.

She knew that Li Shixian loved tea and wine. Although he had a way to brew wine, it would be better for him not to show up given the current strength of the Song Dynasty.

As long as Wang Lang returns from the sea and finds sweet potato and corn seeds, and the research and development of rice in the south is successful, this distilled liquor will come out.

Now that the Lianjia Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, Xie Shuting has to consider her sense of responsibility.

If she really wanted to make money, with what she had in her hands, she could easily shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

"Satisfied. This tea is much better than that at the tea stall."

Li Shixian looked relaxed, stretched slowly and said: "Shu Ting! I have found the hiding place of those beggars."

"Oh!~"

Xie Shuting was startled, the teacup in her hand trembled slightly, and she asked in a daze, "So fast?"

"I have been accompanying them during the day and following them at night these days. If I still can't find you, you will doubt my ability." Li Shixian raised his eyebrows.

"What exactly is the situation? Have you investigated it in depth?"

Li Shixian's expression was determined when he heard this. He clenched his fists and said viciously: "These bastards have many children in their hands. In addition to the persecuted ones, there are more than 20 people locked up in the dungeon."

"Dungeon?"

Lian Xi was shocked, and suddenly felt a little panic in his heart, "Could it be that the beggars in the city are the same as those back then..."

"It's the same situation as you and Lian Xi back then."

When Xie Shuting said this, her expression darkened a little and she said, "It seems that there are still some people who have escaped from that group of people. It's just that these children are suffering."

Others may not be able to sense Lian Xi's anger, but Xie Shuting is very clear about it. Lian Xi, who is trapped in a cage, is also unable to shake off the past.

In that dim dungeon, there was a strong smell of blood, and from time to time, screams could be heard from the children who had their tongues pulled out for no reason.

Even though he had rescued the two people ahead of time by following the memories of his past life, the two young hearts had still suffered considerable trauma.

Unexpectedly, Lian Xi thought of the past and could not suppress the anger in her heart. She said, "Miss! Let Miss Li take me and the maidservants over and kill these people."

“Don’t do anything rash.”

Xie Shuting hastily denied Lian Xi's request and said in a cold voice: "It was because we handled it privately that we failed to deter this group of people, which led to their resurgence."

"Shu Ting! What do you mean?" Li Shixian couldn't help but ask.

"Poet! After dark, go find Captain Cao to get more people. We must catch them all in one fell swoop this time."

"Okay. If I hadn't listened to your instructions, I would have killed them last night. Otherwise, how could they see the sunrise today." Li Shixian said coldly.

As the last rays of the morning and evening rays faded, in an inconspicuous farm five miles outside Laigu County, dozens of children were either kneeling or leaning against the earthen wall, waiting for their fate.

Seeing dozens of people coming back, the farm gate was instantly closed. Twenty or thirty children with incomplete limbs huddled in the yard like lambs to be slaughtered.

A man with a fierce look on his face walked slowly into the crowd and winked at the younger brother behind him, who then came forward with a dustpan.

"Come one by one. Each person must pay fifty coins a day, otherwise there will be no dinner."

As the man spoke, he kicked the child at his feet and said, "Don't dawdle. If you dare to hide anything, be careful of your relatives and sisters. You will probably suffer some physical pain today."

Upon hearing this, the twenty or thirty children did not dare to delay even a moment and threw all the money they had begged for that day into the winnowing basket.
