Zhou Wanwan looked at him earnestly and said:

Should I thank you for your compliment?

Your Highness, please don't make fun of me if you have nothing to do with it.

The head of the Zhao Family is Zhao Mingzhu's father.

He glanced at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Whoever it is now, summon the Xin'an County and have him investigate for me."

The Xin'an County had just started eating breakfast when he received the news.

He stroked his beard and said:

"What the hell? You're saying the Zhao Family's house was completely moved out in one night? Hahahaha..."

It's unbelievable that something so funny could happen. Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

I have to go and see!

Shen Tao didn't even bother with breakfast before rushing to the Zhao Family's Zhao Family. Looking at the house, he laughed until tears streamed down his face, "Oh my! I'm dying of laughter! Zhao Botong, what happened to your house?"

Zhao Botong's lips twitched as he said:

"Lord Shen, please take a look at this quickly. My family was moved away last night."

It seems your Xin'an County isn't all that great!

Shen Tao said with a smile:

"Oh dear! Lord Zhao, you've moved everything quite cleanly! Who did you offend?"

"Oh my, who is this? Isn't this the Crown Prince?"

The Crown Prince glanced at Shen Tao indifferently and said, "Isn't this Imperial Uncle Shen?"

Shen Tao laughed:

How did you get here?

I heard you were trapped under the mountain yesterday, which made me search for people all night to rescue you, but I couldn't find you anywhere.

The crown prince snorted coldly and said, "I think you're just hoping to poach me, aren't you?"

Shen Tao said helplessly:

"What are you saying, Your Highness? Why would I want to dig you up?"

What are you planning to do in Xin'an County this time?

The Zhao Family head standing beside Shen Tao looked at him and said:

"County Magistrate Shen certainly has a lot of leisure time; he even has the mind to ask these questions?"

Shouldn't you care about my family?

Shen Tao coughed several times before finally stopping his laughter. "Sorry, sorry, shall we watch and chat at the same time?"

The head of the Zhao Family showed him around.

Shen Tao looked at the Zhao Family and asked, "How many rooms does your family have in total?"

The head of the Zhao Family replied, "180 rooms."

Shen Tao was speechless. "180 rooms? You mean all 180 of your houses were moved away overnight?"

The head of the Zhao Family nodded and said:

"Yes, you need to find out who it is right away."

I'm incredibly curious now. If I catch her, I'll skin her alive.

A chill ran down Shen Tao's spine:

"Zhao Botong, don't you find it terrifying?"

What does it mean that this person can empty your house overnight?

Killing you would be as easy as turning his head.

Let me give you a hypothetical scenario: he could take all of your houses.

If he had tried to kill you last night, do you think you'd still be alive?

If I were you, I would immediately offer incense to my ancestors to thank them for their blessings and to express my gratitude to that person who spared my life last night.

He's not upset if his ancestors aren't mentioned, but if they are, he gets furious.

He pointed to the Zhao Family ancestral hall and said:

"See that? Thank goodness our ancestors have blessed us, even our ancestral hall has been overturned."

You'd better find him for me right now, or I'll report you to the police.

Shen Tao saw the ancestral hall and laughed heartily:

"Oh no, I can't take it anymore, I'm so sorry!"

I couldn't help but laugh, this is just too funny! They've even moved your ancestral hall?!

Zhao Botong: "What's so funny? What's so funny about this?"

Shen Tao coughed and said:

"Yes, yes, there's nothing funny about it. I need to be serious."

I am now the county magistrate. Such a major incident has occurred in Xin'an County, and I am truly distressed. Who on earth is responsible?

Could this have caused such a huge disaster? Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly.

I will not rest until the murderer is found.

Alright, I'll start investigating now. Is there anything in your house that wasn't stolen?

Steward Zhao pointed to the stone house next door and said, "That's the place that wasn't stolen. That's the prison, where prisoners are held."

Shen Tao walked to the vicinity of the stone house and said:

"Wow! This stone house is quite well built. You treat this prisoner quite well, don't you?"

It even has Liuli roof! Liuli must be quite expensive, right?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "It is indeed quite expensive, and it's extremely difficult to produce."

Shen Tao looked at the Liuli roof and said:

"This Liuli roof is really nice; we often use it in our greenhouse. Where did you buy it from?"

I'm planning to build a greenhouse, but I don't know where to buy one. I've looked in so many places, but I haven't found one yet.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "I can help you build a greenhouse! This is my business card; my contact information is on it."

Shen Tao took the business card and stared blankly at Zhou Wanwan, asking, "Are you a child of the Zhao Family?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said, "My surname is Zhou, how could I possibly be a child of the Zhao Family?"

"That's true. The Zhao Family wouldn't produce someone like you. Your name is Zhou Wanwan?"

This name sounds strangely familiar!

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "A name is just a label, but I really do have this glass, and we can customize it."

Shen Tao frowned and said, "What does 'personalized customization' mean? I don't understand."

Zhou Wanwan said:

"It's very simple. If you want to build a greenhouse, we can build it for you."

Whatever flowers you need, we can provide them.

Shen Tao frowned and said:

I like exotic flowers and rare herbs; can you provide those?

A six-year-old child dares to spout such nonsense, where did you come from?

Zhao Botong snorted coldly and said, "I wonder where this wild child came from? Who brought him back?"

Shen Mingzhu, who was standing nearby, said, "This is Zhou Wanwan; she came from Yanmen Pass."

Upon hearing the Yanmen Pass, Shen Tao's expression changed. "You're from the Great Xia? What are you doing in the Great Qi?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"We're all one family, Great Qi Great Xia! Besides, nobody said people from the Great Xia Kingdom can't come to Great Qi, right?"

I'm here to do business; I have the necessary travel documents.

Zhou Wanwan pulled out the travel permit, Chen Tao nodded, saying, "It's real, but what kind of business can a six-year-old like you do?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Chen Tao and said, "My business covers all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation."

"Hahahaha..." Shen Tao almost died laughing.

Why are all the things happening today like this?

Zhou Wanwan stared blankly at Shen Tao and asked, "Uncle Shen, what are you laughing at?"

Shen Tao nearly choked. "Grandpa? You call me grandpa? I'm only in my early twenties."

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said:

"I'm sorry, but you look a bit older than you are!"

Enough of that, let's get down to business!

My entire life, from food and clothing to housing and transportation, is covered. I work in food delivery. Do you know what food delivery is?

Shen Tao suddenly said:

"Oh, you're the one who does that food delivery business?"

I've heard about you; you say that food can be delivered from your home. Is it really that amazing?
