"Mom wants to thank you. If you hadn't brought clothes and food to that woman, I really didn't know how to get close to them." The middle-aged woman in green smiled slightly when she heard this, reached out and twisted her hand gently on the cheek of the girl with big eyes, "Min'er, you are the lucky star of our family. Since you have you, your father's business has been going smoothly. If your uncle can escape this disaster this time, you have made great contributions."

"Mom, as long as my uncle is fine, what's the point of doing this?" The big-eyed girl smiled and said in a sweet voice when she heard this.

As the saying goes, good deeds will be rewarded. A big-eyed girl is not only smart, but also kind-hearted. When Tan Zong and Qiao Yu were taken into the village chief's yard, she happened to follow Cui'er and another maid holding an umbrella and watching the fun in the yard.

Looking at Qiao Yu, who was covered in the crowd with a quilt, beautiful, cold and arrogant, and her hair was wet with rain, the girl with big eyes couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, so she brought dry clothes to Qiao Yu, which gave Tan Zong and Qiao Yu the opportunity to have a full meal and regained their strength.

Cui'er found a set of fitting clothes for Tan Zong and Qiao Yu. Village Chief Zhao's youngest son stayed at home to take care of his diet and daily life. His figure was similar to Tan Zong, so that Tan Zong no longer had to wrap himself in that small size clothes.

A few days ago, Village Chief Zhao's youngest son took his wife and children to pay his birthday to his father-in-law and stayed there for a few days. If there were no men at home, Cui'er would not run out in her bellyband and ask Xiao Wangzi and others for help.

Through conversation with Cui'er, Tan Zong had a rough understanding of the middle-aged woman in green and the middle-aged woman in yellow and others: the middle-aged woman in green was named Zhao Yalan. Twenty years ago, through the introduction of her elder brother Zhao Shijie, she married her current husband, businessman Du Ming.

After Zhao Shipu passed the imperial examination, he stayed in the Ministry of Rites for two years, and then served as the magistrate of the local government. Later, he returned to the capital as the governor of the government and worked in the Ministry of Revenue. He went from being a sixth-rank chief to a fifth-rank doctor now, and his career was smooth.

The big-eyed girl is Du Min, the daughter of Zhao Yalan. Du Min and a brother are studying in the academy in the capital, preparing for the provincial examination for the coming year.

The woman in yellow is Zhao Shijie's wife Lu Guifen. She gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Zhao Shijie. The eldest son stayed in the capital, and the remaining son and one daughter were brought by her to Zhang Licun.

After Zhao Shijie was in trouble, Du Ming handled the matter in the capital. Zhao Yalan took Lu Guifen back to Zhangli Village to prevent Lu Guifen from being sad in the capital. Anyway, she couldn't help in the capital, so she just wanted to relax.

Because she was worried that something happened to Lu Guifen, Zhao Yalan was inseparable from her and was both together in her meals and sleeps. Unexpectedly, something happened tonight, and almost killed Lu Guifen.

After Tan Zong and Qiao Yu changed their clothes, Cui'er led the two into a wing room, brought tea and left.

Tan Zong stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain in the yard, his brows frowned slightly, and vaguely, he felt that Zhao Yalan had deliberately induced herself to speak, causing him to say something that seemed ordinary but was enough to reveal enough information.

"Brother, who did you think of such a vicious trick to harm us?" Qiao Yu walked over, looked at Tan Zong, and said in a sweet voice. The other party's intention was too vicious, and it was clearly intended to destroy Tan Zong's reputation.

"When the rain stops, we will go to the county government office and pull out the person behind the scenes." Tan Zong turned around, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice. This time the other party made him lose all his face. He must pull out the messenger behind the scenes and punish him severely.

"Mr. Jia, Miss Zhen, have you rested?" After a while, a knock on the door sounded outside the door, and Zhao Yalan's voice came.

In the conversation with Cui'er, Tan Zong claimed his surname Jia and Qiao Yu claimed his surname Zhen. The two made up a fake surname to cover up their identity. After all, no one would even report their real name after the embarrassment. In that case, wouldn't it be their own ugly behavior?

The candles in the room were still lit, so Tan Zong and Qiao Yu naturally couldn't sleep, so Tan Zong walked over and opened the door.

"Is Madam Du something wrong?" To Tan Zong's surprise, there were not only Zhao Yalan outside the door, but also Lu Guifen and Du Min with two children. Seeing this, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart and said to Zhao Yalan calmly.

"I want to tell Mr. Jia about some things. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Jia?" Zhao Yalan felt Tan Zong's vigilance, smiled slightly, and said.

"Please, Madam." This is Zhao Yalan's home, and Zhao Yalan's attitude is humble and upright. Tan Zong really couldn't find a reason to not let her in, so he turned sideways and made a gesture of inviting her.

Zhao Yalan smiled and led Lu Guifen, Lu Guifen's two children and Du Min into the room. Cui'er and another maid then closed the door and guarded under the eaves outside the door.

"Two ladies, please." Tan Zong looked at the closed door quietly, walked to the round table in the room, stretched out his hand at the chair next to the table, and said to Zhao Yalan and Lu Guifen with a smile. He had vaguely guessed the purpose of the two of them.

"Mr. Jia, I'm here this time. I have something to ask for. I hope my brother will agree." Zhao Yalan did not sit down, and said after a smile at Tan Zong.

"Madam, please tell me clearly. Let me see if I can help you first." Tan Zong said in a proper manner when he heard this. It seemed that he had guessed right just now. Zhao Yalan was indeed here to ask him for help, so he answered without any intention of helping or not.

"I want to ask Mr. Jia to help me and rescue my elder brother from the Supervision Mansion." Zhao Yalan felt Tan Zong's caution, so she no longer concealed anything and pointed out her purpose.

"Madam Du, I'm really sorry, I can't help with the affairs of the Supervision Office." Tan Zong heard this, pondered for a moment, and politely declined Zhao Yalan's request. He didn't know what Zhao Shijie had committed, nor did he know what interests involved in it. Besides, Zhao Yalan is not related to others, so he would not rashly interfere in this matter.

"Mr. Jia, I know this to make it difficult for the young master, but I have no choice. Apart from the young master, I really don't know who to look for." Zhao Yalan had already expected Tan Zong to refuse, so she did not give up. She looked at Tan Zong with great enthusiasm, "Mr. Jia, I don't expect my elder brother to be able to resume his post, but I just hope that the young master can mediate in the center so that my elder brother can escape from this whirlpool and go home to farm and support him for the rest of his life."

If Tan Zong had agreed to Zhao Yalan just now, Zhao Yalan was really disappointed, because with Tan Zong's social experience, he would definitely know that Zhao Shijie's affairs were not simple, and there must be interests involved. If he agreed easily, it would only mean that he was perfunctory to Zhao Yalan.

But Tan Zong refused now, which shows that he knew the powerful relationship here, so he did not want to interfere in this matter. In this way, Zhao Yalan would have hope, at least the other party was not fooling him.

"Madam Du, I'm really sorry. I really can't help Brother Ling." After hearing this, Tan Zong shook his head solemnly at Zhao Yalan.

To be honest, Zhao Yalan's requirements are indeed not high, she only hopes to get Zhao Shijie out of the prison, which will be much more convenient to operate.

Faced with this low demand, Tan Zong could not do this because of his special status. In the eyes of the officials of the court, he was a member of the official family and a member of the Supervision Office. Therefore, if he intervened, it would easily lead to misunderstandings that it was the official family. In this way, it would send a wrong signal.

Tan Zong was sure that if he went to the Supervision Office to operate this matter, regardless of whether Zhao Shijie was charged or not, the final result would be only one, that is, he would be acquitted and the official was restored. First, it was because the officials in charge of the case mistakenly thought it was the official's intention, and secondly, he would give him his own people a face, so he could not agree to Zhao Yalan.

"Mr. Jia, I know that there are many places to do in this matter, so these young men will use it first. If not enough, just talk. Even if you lose everything, I will do whatever I want." Zhao Yalan thought that Tan Zong was really concerned about gains and losses, so she waved to Du Min. Du Min walked over and handed Zhao Yalan a small black box in her hand. Zhao Yalan placed the black box in front of Tan Zong, and said after opening it.

"Madam Du, this is not a matter of money, but I am really powerless." Tan Zong glanced in the black box. There was a stack of silver notes and several pieces of gold jewelry, which seemed to be as many as thousands of taels. He shook his head and said to Zhao Yalan solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yalan couldn't help but feel a little astonishment flashed across her eyes. Tan Zong was indifferent to so much money. This was completely different from the officials she had seen. Was he really helpless about his elder brother's affairs? Or did he have any concerns?

"Young Master Jia, please save my husband!" Regardless of whether Tan Zong has the ability to save Zhao Shijie, Zhao Yalan can only treat him as a living person now. She secretly winked at Lu Guifen beside her. Lu Guifen then plopped and knelt in front of Tan Zong with her two children, with tears in her eyes and said sadly.

"Mrs. Zhao, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Seeing this, Tan Zong hurriedly reached out to help Lu Guifen.

Lu Guifen knelt on the ground and didn't get up. Tan Zong couldn't use any force. Qiao Yu hurried over to help when he saw this. Lu Guifen felt sad for a moment and couldn't help crying.

"Uncle, uncle, save my father, save my father." When Lu Guifen cried like this, the little boy and the little girl beside her also started crying, kowtowing to Tan Zong while crying, which made Tan Zong at a loss and extremely embarrassed.

"Young Master Jia, please save my elder brother." Seeing this, Zhao Yalan bowed her legs and knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to Tan Zong.
