"Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"Forehead……"

Xu Shan was stunned.

Su Ping's expression is very normal, completely different from what Zhang Cuihua said...

"Well, I heard you are back, I came over to take a look."

Xu Shan nodded and said: "That incident with Yuanwai Ge..."

"Mr. Xu, wait a moment."

Su Ping said something, then took out a pen and paper from his bag and started drawing.

After a while, a lifelike middle-aged face appeared on the paper.

Su Ping blew the ink and handed it to Xu Shan: "Look, do you have this person among the people who came to pick up Ge Weng that day?"

"Let me see……"

Xu Shan looked at it for a moment, and then nodded firmly: "That's right. He is the leader among that group of people. He is the one who asked you to invite them."

"oh……"

The last trace of luck in Su Ping's heart was gone.

The middle-aged man in the painting is the last person responsible for keeping an eye on him in the Dingguo Palace.

"What's wrong? Is this person a liar?"

Zhang Cuihua asked nervously, "How about we report it to the official? The county magistrate will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."

"Need not."

Su Ping smiled brilliantly and said: "This person was indeed invited by me to pick up Ge Weng. I was too busy before and I forgot about him. Maybe I just missed him on the road with them."

"Is that so..."

Zhang Cuihua was dubious.

"Mr. Xu, I won't stay at home any longer this time. You can take this."

Su Ping took out a stack of 'paper' and stuffed it into Xu Shan's hand.

"what?"

Xu Shan was a little confused and spread out the folded 'paper'.

“Banknote!!!”

Xu Shan's pupils shrank sharply, his hand shook violently, and he almost threw the banknote away.

This is Daqing’s official banknote!

A full one hundred taels, three in total!

Xu Shan reacted and immediately stuffed the bank note back into Su Ping's hand: "I can't take this money! Take it back, take it back quickly."

"Three hundred...two?"

Zhang Cuihua's eyes were sharp, and her eyes turned green in shock.

"It's not a matter of how much."

Xu Shan glared at Zhang Cuihua, "We people in Xiaohe Village are very particular about getting a penny for a penny of work. How can we ask for Su Ping's money for no reason?"

"Uh...yes, yes."

Zhang Cuihua seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and she also restrained her greed for money and said helpfully: "Muramasa is right, you should take this money back quickly. You are out alone and there are many places to spend money..."

Before Zhang Cuihua could finish speaking, Su Ping smiled helplessly and said, "It's only three hundred taels. I came back this time just to do something for the village."

"But there are too many, and the village won't need them."

Xu Shan shook his head repeatedly, "Besides, the county magistrate has taken good care of you. Slowly, every household's life will get better..."

"Mr. Xu."

Su Ping put the banknote into Xu Shan's hand again, "I remember that you have been talking about building an ancestral hall for many years. Let me use this money to donate an ancestral hall to the village."

"this……"

Xu Shan was a little embarrassed.

Although Xiaohe Village is a village with mixed surnames, it has a long history, but it has never had an ancestral hall of its own.

This is looked down upon by neighboring villages.

Moreover, if there is an ancestral hall, among other things, it will be easier for the adult villagers to find wives.

"Forget about this and that. I earned more than this in one month at the Duke's Mansion. If you think it's less, I'll ask someone to send you more when you get back."

Su Ping joked.

"A lot! A lot!"

Xu Shan quickly declined, "That's enough, there's still more left."

Zhang Cuihua had already started to wipe her eyes, and cursed: "Whoever dares to say that you have forgotten everyone in the future, my sister-in-law will help you tear his mouth open!"

Su Ping smiled and said: "I won't be living at home this time. The adults are kind and gave me a few days off. I have to go back to work as soon as possible."

"It should, it should."

Xu Shan nodded repeatedly and looked at Su Ping with an extremely friendly look.

Look, this is the person who came out of Xiaohe Village!

He is polite, hard-working, and most importantly, he still thinks about his fellow villagers.

Long enough!

"Then...are you coming back for the New Year?"

Zhang Cuihua suddenly asked.

"New Year... let's see, I'll come back if I'm not busy."

Su Ping replied, and then bowed to the two of them with clasped fists, "Sister-in-law, Mr. Xu, I'll take my leave first."

The two stood in the yard of the Ge family, watching Su Ping walk away quietly.

Xu Shan stroked his long gray beard, his eyes full of admiration, and he was already thinking about how to brag and promote to other villages tomorrow when he went to Shilibaxiang.

However, there was a flash of worry in Zhang Cuihua's eyes.

Su Ping went home and took the horse, saying goodbye with a smile to the villagers he met along the way.

When the Xiaohe Village archway was no longer visible, Su Ping got on his horse and ran wildly in the direction of Yangjing.

His expression was extremely cold.

At present, things have not reached the worst point yet.

Judging from the attitude of the villagers when talking about that group of people, and the fact that Ge Weng's house showed no signs of disorder, we can infer that Ge Weng and his son did not suffer much when they were taken away.
