Mingjia shook his head in denial and continued walking towards the box.

Mingjia was very sure that she had never seen the strong man just now, but she felt that the smell of the strong man was very familiar.

The table arranged by Huang Zhengqing was very suitable for the Xiao brothers and sisters. It can be said that they enjoyed the meal very happily.

Mingjun came forward to chat with Huang Zhengqing about the situation in Xuzhou, while Mingjia was only responsible for eating, and eating very seriously.

"Tomorrow, I will write a post and send it to the government office. I will go to see Uncle Shao'ang first!"

This trip was in a hurry, and the letter was mailed too slowly, so Chen Shaoang still didn't know the whereabouts of the Xiao brothers and sisters.

Seeing that his brother and Huang Zhengqing were almost done talking, Ming Jia finally put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth gracefully.

"Shopkeeper Huang, are the aristocratic families in Xuzhou still honest these years?"

Mingjia’s problem is that it is so lethal!

Huang Zhengqing couldn't help but shudder after hearing Ming Jia's question!

Recalling that year, not long after Huang Zhengqing arrived in Xuzhou, he experienced a major cleanup of the Xuzhou family!

The homes of two top aristocratic families in Xuzhou city were ransacked on the same day, and countless boxes of gold, silver, and jade were carried out.

Huang Zhengqing and the five accounting apprentices he brought from Sichuan Province were all requisitioned by Chen Shao'ang, and the accounts were calculated for more than a month.

Not only that, after the case was concluded, all the principal criminals were beheaded. The large bluestone at the entrance of the Xuzhou wet market was stained red with blood, and several heavy rains failed to wash it away.

Huang Zhengqing pinched his teeth and thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"In the past few years, the aristocratic families in Xuzhou have become silent. At least until Master Chen is transferred, he will not dare to make any big moves!"

"Hehe~! That's good!"

Ming Jia smiled happily, Huang Zhengqing also smiled awkwardly, and Ming Jun looked at Huang Zhengqing suspiciously.

Suddenly, Mingjia remembered something and looked at Huang Zhengqing again.

"Shopkeeper Huang, have all the people who were kidnapped in the fishing village come back? Have they been compensated?"

Speaking of this, Huang Zhengqing couldn't help laughing. Chen Shao'ang and Huang Zhengqing mentioned Mingjia's need to compensate.

"Everyone has been returned to the fishing village safely, and the compensation to each family has also been delivered. It is the money that Commander Shen arranged for me to set aside in advance!"

"Commander Shen is a really good person, he keeps his word and is very honest!"

Huang Zhengqing also nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to comment too much on Commander Shen, an adult of this level.

Mingjun finally heard something this time and turned to look at Mingjia in surprise.

"Have you ever tricked Commander Shen?"

"Where is that? That's not a trap! And it's a good thing to help Commander Shen gain reputation!"

Ming Jun nodded doubtfully. After all, it was a few years ago. Commander Shen should not hold grudges.

After all, it was a hard journey. Just after dinner, Huang Zhengqing sent the Xiao brothers and sisters back to their residence.

Ever since Mingjia decided to be a hands-off shopkeeper, all matters were completely left to her brother to handle.

Mingjia finished her martial arts practice in the morning, went back to wash up and change clothes, and then slowly walked to the hall to have breakfast.

"Brother, are you going to visit Uncle Shao'ang later?"

Mingjia drank the porridge and asked unclearly, wanting to know the specific arrangements for the day.

Mingjun shook his head and handed the freshly peeled eggs to Mingjia.

"I sent someone to deliver the post, and Uncle Shao'ang asked someone to bring the message back. He is a little busy these days, so let us go around by ourselves first!"

Mingjia looked up instantly, and Mingjun also looked at Mingjia and nodded invisibly.

Chen Shao'ang's refusal to meet can explain the problem very well. It can be seen that Mingjia's guess is basically accurate.

"I have already asked someone to book a boat. In two days we will go for a spin on the sea together!"

"it is good!"

Mingjun wanted to stay and write a few letters and discuss matters in Xuzhou with Huang Zhengqing, so Mingjia went out with Thirteen and Fourteen.

The way Mingjia understands a city is through food and bookstores, because Mingjia is used to visiting these two types of shops.

Thirteen and Fourteen are also very familiar with Mingjia's interests and hobbies. When they encounter novel food that is rare in the north, they will buy some for Mingjia.

Then, Mingjia will discover that there are actually many snacks that she has already eaten four years ago, but this does not prevent her from eating them again.

Mingjia went to eat here and observed the changes in Xuzhou City. Fourteen had a deep memory of Xuzhou City and could act as a tour guide.

"Uncle Fourteen, you really traveled all over Xuzhou city and outside back then!"

Thinking about Ming Jia, she was still very embarrassed. She didn't expect that she had come up with such a stupid way to lead the whole city around the mountain.

Looking back on the situation back then, Fourteen also wanted to laugh a little.

"Actually, I spent most of my time in the city at that time. Chengwen and Chengwu were responsible for running the fishing village, and Uncle Li and Da Liu were responsible for the mountains. They were really hardworking!"

"I don't know. Is there any news from Lingquan?"

Mingjia was a little worried about the news about Lingquan. Lingquan came to Mingjia early this morning and said that he wanted to contact the manpower of the Duke's Office in Xuzhou to inquire about the status of Chengwen.

"Master, don't worry! Cheng Wen's skills are good, and Xuzhou has been cleaned up..."

Shisan hurriedly comforted Mingjia. In fact, Mingjia also knew it, but she couldn't help but worry!

Mingjia held a lot of food in his hand, and Thirteen and Fourteen held more things in their hands. The three of them walked back slowly.

When passing by a teahouse, Mingjia paused in his steps. Thirteen and Fourteen beside him also immediately noticed something strange. They looked sideways and they were also stunned.

On the bustling street, the three masters and servants of Mingjia were really conspicuous. The old man who was about to get into the carriage at the door of the tea house looked sideways and looked at Mingjia.

Mingjia immediately lowered his eyes, took two steps to the door of the street shop, and made way for the carriage.

Thirteen and Fourteen were standing close to the wall of the shop. If you look closely, they were bowing slightly, as if they were saluting!

After the carriage was far away, Thirteen and Fourteen slowly exhaled. They looked at each other, and saw that each other's eyes were full of fear.

Mingjia sighed helplessly when she saw her thirteenth uncle hesitated to speak. She must have guessed, otherwise how could she give way like this.

"Uncle Thirteen, although I don't know the old man, I know the guard!"

Xu Honglei had said that Shen Qing had entered the palace, but when he talked about Shen Qing's current position, he looked embarrassed.

At that time, Mingjia guessed that Shen Qing had gone to some serious department, but now she knows...

Traveling with the Supreme Emperor is indeed an incredible job!

Ming Jia should have thought that the port in Xuzhou was the last major move made by the Emperor during his reign. Now that it was about to be opened to navigation, the Emperor would want to come and see it in person.

"Ahem~! Go...home!"

Mingjia is feeling flustered for no reason, and she doesn't know why. She just wants to go home quickly!

Thirteen and Fourteen also noticed something was wrong with Ming Jia and immediately took Ming Jia back to their residence.

"Mingjia, are you back so early?"

Before Mingjun finished writing several letters, he saw Mingjia coming back in a panic. Mingjun was very surprised.
