protect my lady

Mu Qingchen and Fu Feiyu had a good first impression of each other, they sat in the teahouse and chatted for a while before saying goodbye to each other.

After getting into the carriage, Mu Qingchen called his maid, Cui Zhu.

"Cuizhu, go and check the news about Fu Shaoxia, sort it out and send it to me." As he said that, Mu Qingchen took another look outside the carriage, as if he wanted to find a familiar figure in his line of sight.

"Yes." Green Bamboo replied respectfully.

Listening to the noise from outside the carriage, Mu Qingchen put his hands on his lap, tapped his fingers once and for all, thinking about something very important to him.

Now I am eighteen, and it has been three years since I got married.My father is afraid that he is starting to worry about his own marriage. Whether to recruit a son-in-law or get married is a big problem.

Recruiting a son-in-law is a good choice for Mu Qingchen, even if they get married, they can continue to manage the family business.But getting married is different. Once I leave, the shepherd's property will probably fall on his cheap elder brother.

Thinking of the purpose of coming out today, Mu Qingchen couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Although the Mu family is a well-known and wealthy family in Suzhou Prefecture, they don't have many children. Apart from Mu Qingchen and her younger brother, there is only one concubine son and one concubine daughter.

Logically speaking, such a situation would be very advantageous for the sons and daughters of the concubine, but it can't be helped that the master of the Mu family has a loving heart, and he pays attention to treating the concubine and the concubine very well, which has raised their ambitions.

"Miss, we're here." The voice of the maid outside the carriage came in, interrupting Mu Qingchen's thoughts.

Mu Qingchen lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

"Miss Mu, the young master has been waiting for you for a long time." Just as Mu Qingchen got off the carriage, a servant came to meet him.

Guided by the servant, Mu Qingchen took the maid to the box in the tavern, and met the person he wanted to meet today.

"Miss Mu, long time no see." The man sitting in the first seat of the box said with a smile, he didn't even bother to stand up to greet him.

"Tell me, what does my good sister want you to do?" Mu Qingchen frowned slightly, and sat down at a seat far away from the man.

"I didn't do anything, I just hoped that I would marry you, Miss." The man in the first seat didn't mind, still smiling like a tiger.

"What conditions." Mu Qingchen said with a cold face.

The person sitting in front of her is not a good person, Liu Jialun's financial resources are not as good as the Mu family's, but in recent years they have gotten in touch with the prefect of Suzhou.

Since ancient times, merchants did not fight with officials, so the Mu family would not be willing to confront the Liu family before they found support.

"It's simple. I heard that Mujia has found a supplier of high-quality and cheap medicinal materials. Just share with me." Liu Zizhao said with a smile, and drank the wine in his glass.

"Young Master Liu's appetite is too great." Mu Qingchen snorted coldly, "If Young Master Liu came here for this, then we shouldn't waste our time."

"Wait a minute, Ms. Mu, I haven't finished talking yet." Liu Zizhao said unhurriedly, "Or Missy can sell it to me at the original purchase price, and I'll get all my goods from you."

"Young Master Liu has a good idea, so how about the manpower and material resources spent on the way?" Mu Qingchen asked in a deep voice.

"That's naturally something that the eldest lady needs to consider." Liu Zizhao said with a harmless face.

"Or Missy can consider marrying me and becoming my wife, everything about me will be yours." As he said that, Liu Zizhao's eyes flicked across Mu Qingchen's face.

He didn't lie when he said this, if Mu Qingchen is really willing to marry her and become his wife, it's not impossible for him to hand over his family property to her.

It's a pity, just think about such a thing, Mu Qingchen doesn't want to be a backdoor woman.

"Since Mr. Liu is not sincere, then I will take my leave." Mu Qingchen's face became a little ugly, and after speaking, he stood up, turned and left neatly.

"Miss Mu, I take back what I said just now, as long as Miss Mu supplies medicinal materials at a slightly lower price." Seeing that Mu Qingchen was angry, Liu Zizhao put away his indifferent look, and his face was somewhat serious.

"In a few days, I will send someone to have a detailed talk with Mr. Liu, and I will leave." After speaking, Mu Qingchen left without looking back.

Mu Qingchen is also an arrogant person, if she wasn't worried about her younger sister being a monster, she wouldn't have come here. As for getting married or something, it's nothing more than gossip, she can afford it.

After half a month of calm, a major event occurred in Suzhou Mansion. The Wang family who lived next to the county government was attacked by thieves.

"My lord must be the master for us. My little girl was just..." Madam Wang fainted from crying as she spoke, and was quickly helped down by the accompanying maid.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Wang. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." The county magistrate Bai in the back hall said seriously.

What he had worried about for so long still happened, and Hua Caicai really came to his jurisdiction.Fortunately, this time there was no catastrophe. Miss Wang was surprised, and her innocence was still there.

"Thank you, my lord. If it's useful, please tell me." Master Wang said weakly.

The Wang family claimed that they had lost their money, but only they knew what happened inside.Fortunately, the maid on duty this time was clever enough, otherwise his daughter would not have been watched.

"I don't know if I can meet your daughter. I want to ask some questions in person."

"This..." Master Wang was a little embarrassed. His daughter had just experienced that kind of thing. If she was interrogated at this time, it would inevitably leave some psychological shadows.

"If Mr. Wang is worried, he can accompany him. I just want to know more about the details of the case, so that we can better catch the culprit."

County Magistrate Bai talked with Master Wang for a while before finalizing the matter of meeting Miss Wang.

Ms. Wang was shocked last night. When she saw Magistrate Bai and Fu Feiyu coming, her first reaction was to close the door and refuse the male characters to approach.

"My lord, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my little girl..."

"It's okay, then let's inquire through the door." County Magistrate Bai interrupted Master Wang and stood still in front of the door.

"Miss Wang, I'm going to ask you a few questions now. If you know something, answer it. If you don't know it, just knock on the door."

After the voice fell for a while, there was a soft hum from the room.

"Did the girl see the face of the gangster?"

"No."

"Can you estimate your height and age?"

Miss Wang knocked on the door. This was a bad memory for her, and she didn't want to think about it.

"Did the gangster say anything else? Like where did he take you, or where did he want to go?"

After County Magistrate Bai asked this question, there was a very crisp sound of a teacup falling into the room.

"I don't know, I don't know, he just said it was a pity when he left." Ms. Wang's voice sounded after a long time, "He is masked, and his voice sounds very young, I don't know anything else. "

After Ms. Wang said all this in one go, she never spoke again. No matter how Magistrate Bai asked questions, the answer was always a knock on the door.

"My lord, it seems that Hua Caicai will probably change his target. We should notify some people." Fu Feiyu carefully analyzed Miss Wang's words and speculated on Hua Caicai's psychology.

The Wangfu was close to the county government, and if his affairs were discovered, the Wangfu would definitely send more people to patrol. It would not be easy for him to come back.

"Who does the young man think he should notify?" County magistrate Bai stroked his short beard, thinking about which arrangement would be most beneficial to him.

"Jiji didn't appoint a big lady in the future." Fu Feiyu recalled the information collected during this period, and gave his own answer.

"Okay, then do it like this." County magistrate Bai nodded slightly, turned around and gave Liu Butou an order.Let him sort out the list of those who meet the requirements, and then notify the matter in place as soon as possible.

There are many big families in Suzhou Prefecture, and there are more than ten big families that meet the requirements in the area under the jurisdiction of the Bai County Magistrate alone, and every family has a woman who is engaged to Jiji.

County magistrate Bai read the list and handed it to Fu Feiyu.

"Young Xia thinks what to do next?"

"The best way is naturally to send people to these places secretly, and just sit back and wait." Fu Feiyu thought for a while, "But now the county government has limited manpower, even if someone finds out, they may not be able to take down Hua Caicai. "

"Fu Shaoxia means to continue hiring people?"

"No, what I mean is to narrow down the target. If possible, these people can take their daughters out for a walk, leaving a few households is enough."

"This is also a way." County magistrate Bai thought for a while holding the teacup, and then picked up a pen and paper to write down a few names.

"These families have a lot of guards, so I don't think they will take Hua Caicai seriously. Let's focus on guarding a few."

Fu Feiyu glanced at the white paper, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that Mufu was also in it.

"It's so great. In this way, the adults of each family can send five or six arresters over there quickly, and it shouldn't be a problem to catch Hua Caicai." Fu Feiyu lowered his eyes, and a lot of plans flashed in his mind.

County magistrate Bai didn't respond right away, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Young man, I have something to ask."

"Sir, please speak."

"Master Mujia and I have some friendship, I wonder if the young hero can go to Mujia to serve as the guard for these few days?"

Go to the shepherd's house?Fu Feiyu's eyes brightened a little, she was worried that she had no reason to go to the shepherd's house with the catcher, but she didn't expect to send a pillow when she fell asleep, County Magistrate Bai is really a good person.

"My lord is joking, this is what I should do, and Miss Mu gave me a thank you gift some time ago, so I should do this both in public and in private."

"It's so good. With young heroes protecting the Mu Mansion, I can feel at ease."

Fu Feiyu discussed with the magistrate Bai for a while, and tentatively finalized the plan to arrest Hua Caicai.

And Fu Feiyu is going to live in the Mu Mansion for a few days from tonight.
