"How was it? What was Cui Junchuo's reaction after hearing those words? "
In the Ganlu Palace, after dealing with the last memorial, Li Er raised his head and asked Zhao Song.
Zhao Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the East County Duke said, 'His Majesty is diligent and loves the people, but he still has to work hard for such a villain. He is deeply indebted to the Emperor, but he can't share the Emperor's worries and find out the demons and monsters in the dark. He is ashamed to face the Emperor.'"
"Hmph! Old man! "
Li Er snorted angrily.
Zhao Song glanced at Li Er cautiously and didn't dare to answer.
After a while, Li Er asked again, "Is there anything unusual about his expression?"
Zhao Song pursed his lips and said, "There's nothing too obvious!"
Li Er smiled and said, "Oh ~? Then there's something unusual? "
"I'm not very sure, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions!"
Li Er stood up and pointed at Zhao Song, "Zhao Song, Zhao Song! After so many years, you're still so cautious. Don't worry and say it boldly. I'll make the final decision in my heart! "
Only then did Zhao Song tell the truth, "Your Majesty, when I said 'if you don't want others to know about it, don't do it in the first place', I clearly saw Duke Dong's eyelids twitch twice! Also, with all due respect, with my many years of experience, there was panic and uneasiness in the East County Duke's eyes, but it was fleeting! "
Li Er's face sank and he frowned, "Ha! This old man really has something up his sleeve ~! "
At this moment, Li Er remembered that during the day, Li Zexuan said that the reason why the Seven Cultivators Sect's Snake King came down the mountain to avenge his disciple was probably because the aristocratic family deliberately released the news to kill with a borrowed knife. He asked Zhao Song to go to Cui Junchuo's residence to test it out. Now, looking at the situation, the Cui family probably played some dishonorable role in it.
The reason why Li Er came to this conclusion was mainly because he believed in the observation skills of a master. Although Cui Junchuo was an old fox, Zhao Song's eyesight was also good.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him. If he doesn't behave, then I can only …"

The next day.
East Market of Chang 'an City, Huji Grain Store.
"Shopkeeper Shen, last month, our grain store still had 1,500 strings of coins left. Among them, the Yun family in Yong Ning Square had 200 strings of coins, the Cao family's restaurant had 370 strings of coins, the Su family in Anxing Square had 215 strings of coins, the Zhu family in Chonghua Square had 300 strings of coins, the Hu family's restaurant had 280 strings of coins, and the Miao family in Changshou Square had 135 strings of coins. Here, I've written these accounts for you. You can have someone check them later!"
Meng Wenhao picked up an account book, walked to the counter in front of the grain store, and handed it to an old man in a scholarly robe.
The old man took the account book, nodded, and said, "Hey, Little Brother Meng, this old man can rest assured that you're the one who did the accounting! But are you leaving now? Do you want to tell Young Mistress ~? "
Meng Wenhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no need. I've already told Young Master and Young Mistress earlier! Thank you for taking care of me for the past month. Wen Hao is very grateful! "
The old man waved his hand and said, "Haha! Little Brother Meng, you're too polite ~! It's your own ability that's great, this old man didn't help you with anything ~! "
Although he said that, from the expression on the old man's face, he still enjoyed Meng Wenhao's compliment.
"Shopkeeper Shen, you're too modest ~! Since the work here has been handed over, then Wen Hao will take his leave ~! "
Meng Wenhao bowed, then put away the package and prepared to go out.
"Meng Wenhao ~! Stop right there ~! "
At this moment, a delicate voice came from outside the house. Then, a girl in a light pink dress, slightly plump, and with a passable appearance, walked in. Then, she looked at Meng Wenhao with burning eyes and said, "Meng Wenhao, are you in such a hurry to leave ~? Do you not want to see me that much ~? "
Meng Wenhao's footsteps stopped, and the expression on his face was extremely awkward. He murmured, "Young Mistress Hu, you're here …"
"Call me Qingwan ~!"
The girl snorted and said with dissatisfaction, "Meng Wenhao, why are you in such a hurry to leave ~? Could it be that someone here made you unhappy ~? Or are you not satisfied with your current salary ~? "
Hearing what she said, the shopkeepers and workers in the grain store all kept quiet out of fear. Then, they looked at Meng Wenhao anxiously, afraid that this young man would say something he shouldn't.
Meng Wenhao waved his hands and said, "No, no ~! I'm very happy here, Shopkeeper Shen and the others take good care of me, and Squire Hu gives me a very high salary, there's nothing I'm dissatisfied with ~! "
After he said that, the shopkeepers and workers all breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Qingwan frowned and said, "Since you're happy here and satisfied with your salary, then why do you still want to leave ~?"
After saying that, the girl put her hands on her small waist, cough, she put her hands on her waist and took a step forward, looking at Meng Wenhao with burning eyes, with an aggressive posture.
Meng Wenhao timidly took two steps back and said, "Young Mistress Hu, uh, I mean Qingwan, I'm very grateful to you and Squire Hu for giving me such a high salary, but it's already August. I came here to be an accountant just to help reduce my mother's burden. Although I made a lot of money, I missed a lot of things because of it.
I, Meng Wenhao, am a disciple of Mr. Li, and I'm studying engineering. Yanhuang College started construction more than a month ago, and the students from the School of Mathematics all went to Yunshan to help, but I couldn't go. Now that school is about to start, I have to go back to Yunshan to help ~! So, I can only leave ~! "
Hu Qingwan pouted her small mouth, holding the belt of her skirt with her hand, and hesitantly said, "Then … then after you leave the college, you … you don't have me in your heart ~?"
"Cough, cough, cough ~!"
Hearing that, Old Man Shen's face turned red, and he coughed violently. Then, he waved at the workers in the grain store who were gossiping and scolded, "What are you all standing here for ~? Come with me to move the grain ~! Let's go, let's go ~! "
The workers suddenly understood, and under Old Man Shen's lead, they all left the grain store. Before Old Man Shen left, he even "considerately" closed the door.
“.....”
Seeing that, Hu Qingwan also knew that she had misspoken, and her face quickly turned red. However, although she was shy, she still raised her head and looked directly into Meng Wenhao's eyes.
Meng Wenhao was sweating profusely. This was the first time someone had confessed to him, and he didn't feel any better. His face was even redder than Hu Wanqing's. After hemming and hawing for a long time, Meng Wenhao opened his mouth and said,
"Qingwan, I'm very grateful for the care you and Minister Hu have given me during this period of time, but I don't intend to consider a romantic relationship right now. Your feelings, I …"
Hu Qingwan didn't wait for Meng Wenhao to finish and interrupted him, "It's okay. If you don't consider it now, I can wait ~!"
Meng Wenhao rubbed his eyebrows, and his face was full of speechlessness. For more than a month, he was indeed very happy to be able to use what he learned to earn money, but this girl in front of him was his nightmare for the past month, and it made him very distressed.
