The four of them were talking to each other, and she couldn't find a chance to interrupt.

After finally waiting for them to finish speaking, Zhao Zhizhi hurriedly said: "Stop, this matter is not as serious as you think. None of us need to leave. Put the things back quickly."

Zhao Zhizhi finally calmed them down, and when they went back to their rooms to pack their things, they sat alone in the yard and frowned.

Wei Shao didn't know when he would come back, so she decided to wait for him in the yard.

Outside a villa somewhere in the town, several expressionless men in black squatted on the trees, vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.

In the hall, Wei Shao stood in the center with his hands behind his back, his face calm and intimidating.

Liu Qing and another man dressed as a secret guard knelt on the ground and reported respectfully.

"Sir, we have verified everything and the news is conclusive."

"Magistrate Cao is an important base for the Prime Minister to hide his secrets from others. He has been secretly selling salt to collect a huge amount of money for the Prime Minister."

Liu Qing frowned and said, "Sir, the Prime Minister doesn't need so much money for whatever he does, unless..."

He didn't say the rest of the words, and Wei Shao understood in his heart.

He turned around and said calmly:

"I understand, please stay still for now. I will find an opportunity to go to the government warehouse and conduct a search."

Liu Qing said slightly excitedly: "Sir, you have already taken a risk. Although the government office did not throw anything away, the notice has been issued. I am afraid that now more defenses have been added. This time, you still order your subordinates to Let’s go.”

Although the other secret guard didn't speak, his frown spoke volumes.

Wei Shao looked at Liu Qing condescendingly and said casually: "Is your martial arts better than mine?"

Liu Qing's blood was instantly extinguished by the sudden burst of ice water. He looked at Wei Shao sadly and reluctantly uttered two words from his mouth, "No."

Wei Shao looked away and said calmly: "Then don't talk nonsense here and go do your own things."

Hearing this, Liu Qing wanted to say something, but was stopped and pulled away by another secret guard.

As soon as they left, Wei Shao seemed to not take this matter to heart at all. He glanced at the sky and muttered to himself:

"What is Zhizhi doing?"

When he arrived home after practicing Qinggong, he happened to see Zhao Zhizhi lying on the stone table in the yard, drawing circles on the table with his fingers out of boredom.

Wei Shao remembered the way her hair exploded when he once scared her.

So, he deliberately made a sound when he fell from the eaves to the ground.

I don't know what Zhao Zhizhi was thinking, but he didn't notice any strange noise.

Wei Shao made a fist with his right hand and coughed lightly. Zhao Zhizhi suddenly raised his head and looked towards him.

"Wei Shao, you are back."

As these words came out, Zhao Zhizhi stood up and ran to his side, pulling him into his bedroom without any explanation.

Although Wei Shao didn't know what happened, he knew from her expression that it was not simple.

Zhao Zhizhi told Wei Shao that Magistrate Cao wanted to recruit her as a staff member, "Brother Li told me that Magistrate Cao will hold a banquet in three days. Do you think I should go?"

Wei Shao thought about selling salt to make money. He was thinking about how to go to the government office to find out, and now the opportunity came to him.

However, if this happens, Zhao Zhizhi will take risks with him, although he is confident that he can protect her.

Wei Shao asked tentatively: "How about I go with you?"

Zhao Zhizhi was still minding his own business and said: "Brother Li told me that Magistrate Cao is going to introduce me to other people on that day. I don't know who they are, but those who can hang out with Magistrate Cao must be nothing." nice one."

At this point, she realized what Wei Shao said and looked at him with a frown.

Wei Shao had already thought about how to explain, "If this banquet is really for you and you don't go, Magistrate Cao will lose face. He will definitely retaliate, and he will definitely retaliate against you and your family afterwards."

"Why are you so familiar with Magistrate Cao?" Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

Wei Shao touched her head, sighed and said, "He has done all kinds of bad things, and the news has long been spread among the people."

Zhao Zhizhi suddenly thought of the hell on earth she had seen, and while feeling resentful in her heart, she gritted her teeth and said, "You're right, then I'll go and show you what you're doing. How can I be afraid of such a person wearing human skin?" A beast!"

Wei Shao's dark eyes flashed with an unknown emotion, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, he is almost at the end."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhizhi was stunned.

Thinking of what he had just said, Zhao Zhizhi suddenly realized that maybe Wei Shao also had his own things to do.

Once you figure out one point, other points immediately follow.

Wei Shao's identity was not simple. She was waiting for him to take the initiative to reveal it. Moreover, when they went to the county government warehouse for the first time, Wei Shao felt as smooth as going to his own home.

Zhao Zhizhi speculated that Wei Shao's mission might be related to Magistrate Cao.

She did not choose to reveal it. As she said before, everyone has secrets. When the time comes, all secrets will naturally unfold in front of each other.

Since you are going to a banquet, you must have a gift.

There are many "treasures" in her space, but they are not her own.

Most of them were copied from the county government treasury, and the rest were the gold and silver jewelry given to her by the princess.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhizhi decided to go shopping in the town to try his luck and see if he could find something good.

Wei Shao originally wanted to leave the matter to him, but seeing that Zhao Zhizhi was ready to leave, he could only put his words back and follow her silently.

If he couldn't find anything good in the town, it wouldn't be too late for him to take action.

In fact, he had wanted to tell Zhao Zhizhi his identity for a long time, but he was surrounded by dangers and he didn't want to involve Zhao Zhizhi.

Wei Shao is most satisfied now that he can be with her every day in Xiaohe Village.

There was no one in the town as always, so Zhao Zhizhi went to the pawn shop by familiar routes.

Fortunately, the shop hasn't been moved yet. The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Zhizhi, "Isn't this Miss Zhao? You haven't been here for a while."

Zhao Zhizhi joked:

"Who can have so many good things to pawn with you every day? If I had, I would have moved to the capital long ago."

The shopkeeper laughed loudly and said, "Miss Zhao is absolutely right. I wonder why you are here today?"

Zhao Zhizhi rolled his eyes and picked out the protagonist in the words, "That's it. An important friend of mine is holding a banquet, and I have to attend. Unfortunately, I don't have anything good on hand, so I came here to take a look."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Then you have come to the right place. What I am most in need of is gifts."
