In order to implement the plan as soon as possible, Shen Ruoyan did not wait for tomorrow and rushed to the Zhao Mansion in a carriage before the sun went down.

When Mr. Zhao heard that Shen Ruoyan was coming, he trotted out to greet her.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan looking like she was coming to discuss things, he took her to his study.

After closing the door, Mr. Zhao asked nervously: "But have you found the murderer of my son?"

At that time, Shen Ruoyan was worried that Mr. Zhao would not be able to resist killing Zhao Tianle with a thousand knives once he knew who was the real murderer of Zhao Tianle, so she did not tell him the results of her investigation immediately, but the situation is different now.

"Mr. Zhao, be prepared first. No matter what you hear next, don't be impulsive and think about it in the long term." Shen Ruoyan said to Mr. Zhao solemnly, "Can you do this?"

These words made Mr. Zhao's heart sink. He had a premonition that he would hear some bad news. But then he thought about it, his son was dead, what else could he not accept? He immediately adjusted his mentality and said to Shen Ruoyan: " OK, tell me."

Taking out the evidence collected, Shen Ruoyan explained the results of her investigation to Mr. Zhao in detail.

As he listened, the middle-aged man, who was over fifty years old, clenched his fists more and more tightly. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared before and did not faint.

It turns out that his son is just a victim in this struggle!

They actually used the death of his son to set a trap for others!

How could he swallow this breath!

Mr. Zhao pounded the table hard and said, "Even if I risk my life, I will avenge my son!"

The old man's reaction was much better than expected. Shen Ruoyan was not in a hurry to persuade him, but followed his words and asked calmly: "Then what are you going to do?"

Mr. Zhao raised his hand, made a murderous gesture in front of his chest and said: "First, arrest that evil spirit who eats the inside and outside of the house. I will skin him alive to sue my son's spirit in heaven!

Then……"

Shen Ruoyan held her chin up and asked, "What next?"

"Then...then I..." Mr. Zhao lost his voice as he spoke.

You must know that the local gentry who are leading the trouble are very powerful in Yizhou, and no one dares to offend them.

In the past, the richest man Xue Dafu was still suppressing him. Since Xue Dafu's fall, these greedy local gentry have quickly taken over various industries. With the addition of the things accumulated by their ancestors, their strength has become stronger.

The Zhao family is considered to be a big family in the local area, but in front of these local gentry, they are completely insignificant, not even comparable to a hair of theirs.

Even if he spends all his money to retaliate, he will only hit the enemy with an egg against a stone, and will not do any harm to the opponent at all.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao slumped back on his chair like a deflated rubber ball.

He helplessly supported his forehead with his palms, and a long sigh escaped from Mr. Zhao's mouth.

He had lived a smooth life, but when he reached middle age, he suddenly lost his beloved son. After suffering for most of his life, he thought he could finally retire to live in old age, but he suddenly lost his heir, and the rest of his life was called How does he spend it?

His health has begun to decline and he can no longer work as hard as he did when he was young. It is hard to say whether he can keep these family assets.

Don't look at the current prosperity of his Zhao family. After he leaves, there will only be a group of women left, and they are not allowed to be bullied by others?

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao sighed heavily again.

Shen Ruoyan got a cup of tea for Mr. Zhao, put it in front of him, and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to retaliate against them. Although I can't uproot them for the time being, I can at least make them injured."

Hearing that Shen Ruoyan had a way to retaliate against the local gentry, Mr. Zhao immediately raised his head and looked at Shen Ruoyan with gratitude in his eyes, "Girl, I don't know how to repay you for your great kindness to our family. I, Mr. Zhao, will give it to you here." Kowtow!"

Mr. Zhao said that he was about to kneel down.

How could Shen Ruoyan accept such a great gift? She quickly helped the person up and said, "You don't have to be so polite. You also need to contribute to this matter."

"Okay, girl, I will do whatever you say!" Mr. Zhao swore.

Shen Ruoyan helped Mr. Zhao back to the chair and sat down, took another sip of tea, and then said her plan: "The thing is like this, I see that many shops in the city have stopped selling goods recently, and the people cannot buy the daily necessities. The basic supplies required make life inconvenient and make people panic.

I know that your family is engaged in grain and oil trading, so I wanted to ask if you are willing to sell goods at a fair price to the people? "

Mr. Zhao is also a businessman. He immediately understood the meaning of Shen Ruoyan's words and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to use this method to fight against those local gentry?"

Before Shen Ruoyan could answer, Mr. Zhao took the lead in rejecting the idea.

It seems that this little girl is still too young and doesn't know how strong the other party is, so she can come up with such an extremely naive method.

"Girl, it's not that I won't help you. Even if we take out all the money of our Zhao family, those local gentry will not be afraid of it." Mr. Zhao started to persuade, but he was afraid that Shen Ruoyan wouldn't understand, so he used an analogy. He said, “It’s like I heard that the house was on fire and I just took a spoonful of water and wanted to put out the fire. This is simply a fantasy.

I admit that there is indeed a batch of grain and oil stored in our family's warehouse, but even if I take it all out and give it to everyone for free, it will have no impact on the overall situation. "

Shen Ruoyan shook her head and said, "No, I don't want you to sell your things."

At this time, Mr. Zhao could not guess what Shen Ruoyan meant at all.

"What's the girl's plan?" Mr. Zhao asked doubtfully.

Shen Ruoyan stretched out a finger and waved at him, signaling Mr. Zhao to come closer. The next plan was very important, lest the walls have ears.

Shen Ruoyan whispered something to Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao, who had drooped eyebrows just now, suddenly brightened up.

On this day, the two of them talked for a long time in the Zhao family's study. They didn't want to leave until it was time for dinner. They directly asked the servant to bring the food into the study. The two of them ate and discussed at the same time.

The next day, Shen Ruoyan went to Zhao's house again.

Different from yesterday, these two people, she and Mr. Zhao, did not go into the study to have a secret conversation, but were sitting openly in the hall.

After yesterday's communication, the two people, who were very different in age, had a great conversation in the living room.

There were vague words such as "contact rice merchants" and "sell at low prices".

These words were heard by a figure hiding in the corner. If you look carefully, this man is the real murderer of Zhao Tianle and Zhang Tao.

After overhearing the news, the young man happily called the master out again.
