I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 373 Hungry Wolf
Qing Niang's face was a little dignified, then she shook her head hesitantly.

I can be regarded as a fast runner, and these officers and soldiers tracked down so closely.

Those people at the banquet must have all been arrested.

One thing is certain, that is, Chen Futai and Master Mao are indeed dead!
Seeing Qingniang shaking her head, Ning Pengpeng's heart tightened.

"How can this be good?"

She frowned tightly, if Qingniang really made a move, it would not be wrong for the fourth child to be arrested.

But now, since Qingniang was obviously not the one who did it, isn't it too unlucky for the fourth child to be arrested like this?
Hearing what the old lady muttered secretly, the corners of Qingniang's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Fortunately, the fourth master didn't hear it, otherwise he would definitely suspect that he was not his own.

"Let's go find Liu Hu and ask him to find out what's going on in the government office.

The fourth master didn't participate in this matter, so it should be fine. "

Ning Pengpeng sighed, that's the only way to go!
Liu Hu didn't expect that the old lady would come to Yujiawan.

He was shocked when he heard that the fourth master had been taken into prison.

Ning Pengpeng told the news that Chen Futai and Master Mao had died, and now the entire Nanyue Mansion is leaderless.

However, when they came towards the fishing village, it was said that Mrs. Tian, ​​Chen Futai's confidant, was now in charge of the overall situation in Futai's mansion.

Moreover, the entire Nanyue Prefecture, except for those who come to the fishing village by the sea, the city gate towards Mingzhou Prefecture has been closed, and no one is allowed to go out.

Otherwise, Ning Pengpeng might not even be able to come to Yujiawan.

As for why Lord Tian didn't close the gate leading to the fishing village, it's because most people in Nanyue Mansion rely on fishing for food.

In addition, the sea on the Nanyue Mansion's side stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is no way to go.

As long as this assassin is not stupid, he won't run into the sea, right?

Therefore, the assassin must still be in the city of Nanyue Prefecture!
It's a pity that Mr. Tian made a wrong calculation.

At this time, the assassin was sitting on a simple boat, floating in the sea.

It should not be said to be floating, she is rowing with a plank.

It's just that the technology is not up to standard, and it took a lot of effort from the old nose, but it didn't make much progress.

The reason why Mr. Tian believed that it was impossible for the assassin to escape from the sea area near Nanyue Mansion was because there were eddies and undercurrents on both sides of this sea area.

At the beginning, Chen Futai had thought about secretly building a few large ships from the sea here, and then going north and south to sell private salt.

But he never thought that the boat had just reached the border of Nanyue Prefecture, and suddenly the boat swayed from side to side and was sucked into the undercurrent.

The entire ship disappeared without a trace, not to mention the people on board!

Most of the fishermen in Nanyue Prefecture go straight when they go fishing.

Of course, there are also those who are unlucky, even if they go straight, they still can't escape the sudden vortex in the sea, swallowing the boat and people together.

However, only Chen Futai and Master Mao from Nanyue Mansion, and Mr. Tian knew about this matter.

The fishermen are ignorant. If something goes wrong while fishing, they will only think that the Sea Dragon King is angry, so they will devour the boats and people.

In this regard, Chen Futai naturally would not tell these fishermen the truth.

If the original smuggling of salt was possible, I am afraid that Chen Futai would not exploit the people of Nanyue Prefecture like this.

Of course, it is more likely that after Chen Futai started this salt smuggling business, the fishermen in the entire Nanyue Prefecture might become salt workers in his smuggled salt farm.

All his life, until his death, he helped Chen Futai dry the salt.

Liu Hu asked Ning Pengpeng and Qingniang to live in Yujiawan first, and he went into the city alone.

About five days later, Liu Hu came back with Ning Lao Si who was very thin and pale!

"With this weather, the bodies of Chen Futai and Master Mao couldn't be put down.

Those of us who were arrested almost paid a lot of money, and that Tian Da only reluctantly agreed to let us go.

However, if the assassin is not caught for a day, we will only be allowed to operate within the boundaries of Nanyue Mansion, and not allowed to leave Nanyue Mansion. "

Fourth Ning frowned, feeling that he was a disaster for nothing.

But no matter how excessive the demands of Mr. Tian, ​​they still have to pay the money obediently.

Just be more straightforward, and you will suffer less!

Liu Hu scattered almost half of the usable silver brought to Nanyue Mansion, and Tian Da only opened his mouth to put it in.

Because of this, Fourth Ning is so distressed that his heart is almost paralyzed!

Ning Pengpeng frowned when he heard what the fourth child said.

"Is it possible that if this assassin is not caught for a day, you will never be able to leave Nanyue Mansion?"

"Mother, I also want to go back to Mingzhou Mansion!
But Master Tian didn't let us leave, where did we leave? "

After all, the city gate leading to Mingzhou Mansion is controlled by officers and soldiers!
"Did Mr. Tian report the death of Chen Futai to the imperial court?"

Hearing his mother's question, Fourth Ning was taken aback, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head hesitantly.

"Huh...it seems that a plague god has left the Nanyue Mansion, and another hungry wolf has come!

I don't know if this hungry wolf can feed his stomach? "

Thinking of the money he had given away, and hearing what his mother said, Fourth Ning's heart was twisted into a hemp rope!

"Where's Brother Feng?"

When Ning Pengpeng brought Qingniang to look for Liu Hu, Feng Xu also came with him!

However, he is very interested in pearl cultivation, so every day he would go to the fishing net and observe carefully inside the fishing net.

"It should be over there with the fishing net."

Ning Pengpeng calmed down and said to Ning Laosi.

"I always feel that I have led a scholar astray. Why is Brother Feng interested in these things?"

Liu Hu was also a little apprehensive. For a person like him who didn't even know a lot of big characters, Feng Xu, a scholar, was more like the moon in the sky.

When Ning Pengpeng heard this, he smiled wryly.

Everyone's hobbies are varied.

Feng Xu would like this pearl farm, which really surprised her!
In fact, in Ning Pengpeng's mind, it's not a big problem for Feng Xu to be wrong. If Feng Xu is really interested in cultivating pearls, he can take care of the pearl farm here.

I'm afraid that Chen Huilan will ask the Ning family for someone. After all, the Chen family and his wife still hope that Feng Xu can go to the next level.

In the Yamen of Nanyue Prefecture, Tian Dongyuan slammed the table hard and roared with a livid face.

"You bastards are just catching an assassin!
After such a long time, I don't even know whether the other party is a man or a woman, round or flat.

Ten days, I will give you another ten days, if the time is up, if you still can't find anything to arrest the assassin, then you will take the assassin's place in the prison and stay there. "

"Yes, yes, Master Tian, ​​I will definitely take care of this matter."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the subordinate quickly responded.

It's a pity that these officials turned Nanyue Mansion upside down, but they didn't find the assassin.
