"The county magistrate has been dismissed from office, and his entire family has been sentenced to exile. I thought they released us because their bad deeds were discovered." Shen Xing said after taking a sip of wine.

Shen Li was surprised that the sentence was so heavy. This must be because they had uncovered something serious. He did not expect that Ruan Heng would act so quickly.

"The county magistrate has been doing bad things for a long time. Why do you think he was discovered this time? It was because Ali found someone and then he was found out." Shen Liang said.

"Who are you looking for?" Shen Xing asked puzzledly.

"The prefect's son."

"Ali, how do you know the prefect's son?" Shen Xing asked.

Shen Li knew that she had not told anyone about her relationship with Jin Duobao before, but now she could no longer hide it, so she told the truth.

"A Li, doesn't Jin Duobao like Yanyan? Why is he so close to you now? This man is unreliable, so don't have any thoughts about him." Shen Xing said.

"The third brother is right, Ali, this guy is a playboy, you..." Shen Liang said.

Shen Li interrupted him: "Second brother, third brother, I understand, I don't have any thoughts about him."

"A Li, Ruan Heng rescued the third brother and did not confiscate the money. Do we owe him a favor?" Shen Liang asked.

Shen Li sighed. She already owed too many favors and really didn't want to owe any more. "Second brother, we still have to give him the money."

Shen Liang thought for a moment and said, "That's right, why don't I go and deliver it to him? Don't worry, I will definitely let him accept it."

"Do you have any idea?"

"You can give it a try."

Fang Tianya, who had been silent, spoke up at this time: "Girl, if you give money to others again, you will be in danger. There are still ten days until you pay back the money."

Hearing this, Shen Liang suddenly hesitated.

"A Li, why don't you not give it to him for now and wait until after this month." Shen Xing said.

How could Shen Li forget about this? But saving Shen Xing was more important, and there was still some time left before a month: "Third brother, I've already said it, how can I not do what I promised? There are still ten days left, so we still have a chance."

Shen Liang also wanted to persuade him, but he also knew Shen Li's character. He would not easily change his mind once he made a decision: "Ah Li, do you really want to send me off?"

"Go ahead, second brother. They have done the work for us. We can't just owe them a favor and not pay them back. If we do that, Ruan Heng will probably look down on me even more."

Shen Liang nodded in understanding and went to find Ruan Heng with the banknote.

"Now that's a problem. There are only ten days left. Where can we get more than ten thousand taels of silver? Ali, how much do you have now?" Shen Xing said anxiously.

"Two thousand taels." Before, in order to save Shen Xing, Shen Li collected all his money together, a total of seven thousand taels. Now he gave Ruan Heng five thousand taels, and only had two thousand taels left in his hand. But since Shen Xing was imprisoned for these few days, he should still have some money.

"That still leaves more than 13,000 taels. Where can I get it in ten days?" Shen Xing was melancholy.

"Third brother, let's open up the sales channels in these three counties first, so that we can sell more ointments. After that, when second brother's workshop is built, we will make more ointments and give more to those cooperating rouge shops. I believe they will also be willing."

Shen Xing nodded helplessly.

Fang Tianya said these words of reminder, but in her heart she still approved of Shen Li's approach. She was a person with principles and bottom line.

When Shen Liang came back, the banknote had been successfully sent out, so the favor was not owed and it was worth it for Shen Li to take the risk to send the money at this time.

Then Shen Li asked Shen Xing to take Luo Qi back to Pingjia Village and bring a lot of flowers and beehives.

As soon as they came back, the workshop was built. Shen Li didn't hold any opening ceremony. He started making ointment directly with Li Erya, Shen Xing and Shen Liang.

The task of transporting materials was given to Luo Qi and Wu Zhong.

After making the ointment for three days, Shen Li and Shen Xing went to Gou County to continue promoting the product, while Li Erya and Shen Liang continued to make the ointment.

Not long after Shen Li set up the stall, a lot of people gathered around him, all girls.

"Girl, I heard that you and your brother beat up Shi Bin, and then your brother was arrested. In order to save your brother, you asked someone to investigate County Magistrate Shi?" asked a girl in the front.

Shen Li was puzzled: "That's right, but the one who investigates people is the prefect, not me."

"I know, but do you know that our County Magistrate Shi has been dismissed and exiled? In Gou County, with Shi Bin in place, the girls didn't dare to go out. Now we are free, and I heard that a new County Magistrate is about to take office, and he is from Kyoto."

At this time, another little girl said, "Yes, you are our benefactor. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we can live like this. I also like the ointment you sell. In the past, I had to ask others to buy it for me. Now I can finally do it myself. Give me ten boxes."

The people behind also smiled and said, "Yes, give us two more boxes, we like it."

Shen Li looked at these girls. There was joy on their faces. Maybe they not only liked her ointment, but also liked freedom.

She brought a thousand boxes of ointment and originally planned to visit all three counties. However, they were sold out in Gou County in less than a day. There is no need to continue promoting Gou County in the future. This is really a pleasant surprise.

Shen Li had her eyes on a rouge shop. As soon as she mentioned the idea of ​​selling the products on consignment, the owner quickly agreed. After returning to the provincial capital, she asked Shen Xing to deliver another thousand boxes of ointment.

Shen Li and Shen Xing visited the remaining two counties, Lingshan and Yangchuan, twice more. The publicity was still very effective, and they also negotiated a consignment deal for a rouge shop. However, due to the tight schedule, their sales were still not as good as those in other counties.

Now there were only three days left, and Shen Li sent a batch of ointment to all the rouge shops in the county, some with two thousand boxes and some with three thousand boxes. Cheng Xinna from the Peach Blossom Rouge Shop in Xia County knew that she needed money, so she took the initiative to ask for five thousand boxes of ointment.

There is also Lin Xuanna from Huaxian Bingji Pavilion, who also asked for 5,000 boxes of ointment.

After all the goods have been delivered and all the money has been received, it is the last day to pay back the money.

Shen Li was counting the banknotes in her hand. Shen Xing and Shen Liang beside her were staring at her nervously. Fang Tianya, who was sitting on the side, didn't stare at her, but his eyes would glance over here from time to time.

She checked it twice, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and smiled at the three of them.

"Is that enough?" Shen Xing asked.

"Seventeen thousand four hundred taels." Shen Li said, holding up a stack of silver bills in his hand.

This is already more than the amount of money to be repaid, and there is still one thousand eight hundred taels more.
