Seeing the housekeeper staring at her with her hands on her hips, Su He thought for a moment that she was back in the Zhao Mansion.

"It's already this late and you're still not up to work? If I catch you again, I'll deduct your wages."

Su He didn't dare to refute and could only pretend to be timid. She couldn't leave immediately because she was afraid of being suspected if she left suddenly.

So she worked with the newcomer to make dumplings for another two days, and then left the house with sixty coins.

As soon as Su He left the house, someone called her, and it turned out to be Shunzi.

"Uncle, is everything going well at home these past two days?"

Shunzi was very happy to receive Su He, "Everything is fine. I saw before I came here that both families are working hard. After I take you back, I will drive the mule to Songsong Land, hehe."

Su He didn't take the matter of the fields so seriously. She was now thinking about how to solve the problem of the secret room.

The most powerful person in the county is the county magistrate, but Su He did not dare to report it to the authorities. Who knows if the county magistrate has been bribed? If the county magistrate is in cahoots with the landlord Jin, then she would simply walk into a trap.

Not only will you suffer, but your family members will not be able to escape either.

If the county magistrate is not capable, then who should we find?

The only capable person in the Zhao family is Zhao Qingli. Su He had a good impression of him before, but can she trust him in such a serious matter of treason?

Su He thought about it all night but couldn't come up with any result.

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw the little one and grandma at home, and everyone else was in the fields.

"Sister, next time you go to the county, are you going to buy me some books?"

Buy a book?

Yes, the academy was introduced by Zhao Qingli. If I take this opportunity, maybe I can meet Zhao Qingli.

Before that, she had to go to the bookstore to look for information about this dynasty, preferably some official gazette or something, as she knew too little about this dynasty.

"Let's go today. Mu Tou, you and Tie Tou can go together. Do Miao Miao and Tian Tian want to go?"

When the four heard that they could go to the county to play, they immediately cheered. Without further ado, Su He instructed the two leaders to find Shunzi and let him be responsible for driving the car.

Sun on the side was very happy, without a trace of reluctance. It was such an honor for them, a peasant, to be able to go to school, and she had only been supportive.

"Hehua, take good care of them. Come back early after you buy them. Oh, and buy some oil lamps. They will be needed for reading. Grandma still has some silver..."

There was no way Su He would let her grandma pay for it, so she refused seriously.

"Grandma, don't worry. I promise to take good care of them. Don't take the money. I still have money to buy oil lamps. Just worry less."

Shunzi arrived quickly, and the five of them said goodbye to grandma and set off.

It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived, and everyone was starving.

Su He decided to have lunch first, then go to the bookstore to buy books, and then go to Zhao's house.

The six of them didn't go to a big restaurant, but just found a wonton shop nearby to eat wontons. Because Shunzi was there, Su He specially ordered a plate of meat.

In addition, each person gets a bowl of wontons, so Shunzi gets the portion for two.

Su He finished eating first. She didn’t stay for a while, but paid and went straight into the bookstore next door.

"Boss, do you have next year's court bulletin? Also, what books should children who are just learning to read buy? My brother is going to study at the academy, so I want to buy some to read."

The bookstore owner greeted us with a smile, "Yes, this Thousand Character Classic is suitable for children who are just beginning to learn to read. I have a copy of the court newspaper from two years ago, do you want it?"

The latest one was actually from two years ago. Su He deeply realized how backward the ancient times were.

There was no choice but to buy it.

The two items cost one ounce of silver. Studying is indeed expensive.

When Su He finished buying the food, the four of them finished eating.

Five people headed towards the Zhao Mansion. As expected, all the characters of this dynasty were in traditional Chinese. She didn't know if it was from a parallel universe or brought by a predecessor who traveled through time. Anyway, she was very satisfied.

Su He gave the Thousand Character Classic to Mu Tou, and the four little guys read it carefully, although they couldn't understand a single word.

Su He quickly flipped through the court newspaper, and finally she guessed that the relationship between the Yong Dynasty and the Li Kingdom had been tense in recent years, and the worst outcome was the possibility of war.

What's going on? Does this mean that Landlord Jin has been secretly transporting silver and weapons to the enemy country?

Isn't this holding the Yong Dynasty back? I wonder how many people there are like this.

After weighing the pros and cons, Su He decided to take the risk and give it a try.

She didn't care. The people near Liushu Village were also in danger. The enemy obviously wanted to capture them and make them do hard labor, and they would never come back.

Su He felt that unless he moved to the provincial capital or a larger city, it would be impossible to escape the plots of these people.

It's better to take the initiative than to worry.

Su He had the answer in his mind and calmed down.

"Uncle, you and the three kids will wait for me at the side door. I'll be there soon."

Su He gave some instructions and ran towards Lihua Courtyard.

Today is not a massage day, she came here purely for Zhao Qingli.

No one stopped them when they entered Lihua Garden. Everyone knew about Lotus' situation and knew that their wives often summoned Su He, so no one wanted to stop them.

Su He didn't stop until she reached Zhao Qingli's study.

The door of the study was guarded by Zhao Qingli's confidants. They were a little surprised to see Su He, but did not chase her away immediately. It was obvious that they also knew something about the situation.

"Please help me pass on the message. The Second Master promised to let my brother go to school. I want to confirm it."

Su He still used the excuse that her younger brother was studying.

Dahe at the door knocked and went in to ask, and after a while he let Suhe in.

Su He nodded politely to Da He and the other man and went in.

Zhao Qingli was sitting at the desk, apparently looking at the account book.

Isn't this a coincidence?

"Hehua, I have already told you about your brother's matter. You can just take him there. The academy has everything. There is no need to buy books and pens."

Zhao Qingli tried hard to give a friendly smile. In fact, he was very confused. He Hua should not come to him for this matter. He had made it very clear last time.

"Thank you, Master. I will take my brother there tomorrow."

Su He took out the account book from the secret room and handed it to Zhao Qingli.

Zhao Qingli took it doubtfully, wanting to see what Lotus was trying to do.

But when he opened the account book, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Where...where are you from?"

Su He stared at Zhao Qingli, "I picked it up from the ground. Do you want it? Do you know who the emperor of our Great Yong Dynasty is?"

Zhao Qingli looked at Su He deeply, and many questions popped up in his mind.

Who are you? Where did you get this book from? Why did you tell him? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you to silence you?

Zhao Qingli didn't ask anything in the end. "I know. His last name is Chen and his first name is Dou."

Then he pointed at the account book with his finger, which meant to ask where the account book came from.

Su He thought for two seconds and was ready to confess.

She walked forward and slowly wrote three words on the table: Jin Wansheng.

Zhao Qingli nodded.

"Second Master, do you want to be an official?"

"Or, does your brother want to get promoted?"
