Chapter 273 All Dead

After Hong'er finished speaking, she stood on the spot, anxiously waiting for his reaction.

Chen Hong didn't dare to move either.

Gu Changyuan pondered for a while, then waved his hands: "I see, you guys go."

"Let's go!"

Chen Hong whispered to Hong'er to leave.

Gu Changyuan ordered the housekeeper to find Ding Chunfang.

As soon as Ding Chunfang came in, he asked: "Master, just now I heard from the butler that Concubine Zhang brought the child back? This concubine's movements are fast enough, I missed it."

"Go to Linwan Village." Gu Changyuan ordered.

"Linwan Village?"

"Hong'er's hometown." Gu Changyuan said, "I don't know exactly where it is. But since Mr. Gao Ge can find it, you can too, right?"

"That's natural!" Ding Chunfang immediately patted his chest and assured, "Is the master going to investigate Miss Hong'er's house? Don't worry, I will go and come back as quickly as possible."

"Go by yourself, keep it hidden, and don't let anyone know."

"Little understand!"

Although this Ding Chunfang has a lot of problems, gluttony is fun, and his mouth is cheap, but he is very capable in handling affairs.

He inquired about the exact location of Hong'er's hometown, took a bag of dry food that day, and rode a fast horse to go there.

A few days later, he came back.

Compared with the excitement and liveliness of the past, he looked a little haggard and silent.

Haggard is because of traveling for many days in a row, lack of sleep and food, and travel and dust.

His eyes were blue and his beard was unshaven.

When Chen Hong saw him, he teased him whether he got into the beggar's den, or he would have yelled back and forth three times earlier, but this time he just snorted dully, and strode to Gu Changyuan's study.

Gu Changyuan was calculating a sum of money and food accounts in the household department, and was in a daze when he heard Chen Hong say that Ding Chunfang had come, so he took the time to look up at him, and asked, "Why is it like an eggplant beaten by frost, it's wilting?" ?”

"Ugh."

Ding Chunfang let out a long sigh, and without waiting for anyone to say anything, she slumped down on an armchair, "Forgive me, my ass is going to rot, I'm so exhausted."

"Then you go back and rest, and come back after resting."

"I'd better answer the question first and then go rest." Ding Chunfang took the teacup handed over by Chen Hong, poured half of it vigorously, waited for a while, and then spoke again, "It's too miserable."

"Ok?"

"Linjiawan." Ding Chunfang frowned, "They're all dead."

Gu Changyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

Ding Chunfang said: "It was only when I arrived at Linjiawan that I realized that there was a disaster there. It rained several times in a row, and the upper reaches of the river burst its embankment, flooding many fields and houses, and drowning many people."

"Why didn't the magistrate report to the court?"

"It's messy everywhere, maybe it's because I didn't react, or the letter hasn't arrived yet."

Ding Chunfang was running fast, going back and forth day and night.

It is impossible to expect the small officials sent by the local officials to have such a speed.

Chen Hong couldn't help asking, "What about Hong'er's family?"

"All dead."

Ding Chunfang sighed, "A lot of people died in Linwan Village, Miss Hong'er's sister-in-law, nephew and niece are all gone."

Gu Changyuan nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where is Hong'er's husband's family?"

"Eh, how does Your Highness know?" Ding Chunfang was a little surprised, and then shook his head, "The two villages are adjacent to each other, and they were both flooded. When I went, the water in the village hadn't receded yet, and the water reached knees. , there were drowned bodies everywhere. It was horrible."
