Sign in and get rich in farming

Chapter 344 Wu Xingyun obeys orders

"?" Yu Hongdou was confused for a moment, then she looked at Qian Simei with an expression of "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Hongdou was not surprised at all that Yu Sanlang was favored by others. Ever since he became the county lieutenant, many people had wanted to get close to him and serve him as a servant, either openly or covertly.

Some of them were baits given by people who wanted to win over Yu Sanlang, and some were prostitutes who wanted to find someone to rely on. None of them were from decent families.

Who in a good family would think of sending their daughter to be a concubine? The county lieutenant is not a very high-ranking official. His original wife has a son and a daughter who are both very smart and have great prospects. What's the difference between sending a daughter to be a concubine and pushing a child into a fire pit?

Yu Sanlang has never been kind to those with ulterior motives. His wife is as beautiful as a flower, his children are smart and sensible, and he and his wife are deeply in love. Would he have the time to cause trouble for himself?

Even ordinary farmers know that an old wife is like a treasure. Those who abandon their wives when they become rich rarely have a good ending.

Yu Sanlang never hid anything from his family. Xu, Yu Song, and even the youngest Yu Hongdou all knew that someone was targeting Yu Sanlang, but no one had ever brought it to the attention of the Yu family.

So when Qian Simei told her that someone came to her house, Yu Hongdou’s first reaction was “ridiculous”.

"It's true. It was received by Duan Zhuangtou. At that time, the master had not returned from the government office for three days. The woman cried and said that our master promised to give her a status, but she has not been seen since then."

Qian Simei's face didn't look very good, but she knew that she was the young lady's eyes and ears, so she still did her job conscientiously and told everything she knew.

Yu Hongdou frowned and stood up to ask her brother. It was impossible for her brother not to know about such a big thing even if he was not at home.

Coincidentally, Yu Song was also listening to Qingye talking about this matter at this moment.

He really just found out about this because when the woman came to his house, he was with his sister in Cigou Village, and Qingye had no place to inform anyone if he wanted to pass on the news.

However, Yu Song knew more details because Qingye had taken advantage of this period of time to investigate the whole matter.

"You mean that woman entered the Bai family's shop and never came out again?" Yu Song frowned.

The Yu family and the Bai family had a small dispute over a marriage five years ago, but it has been many years.

As far as he knew, the younger generation of the Bai family were now almost all developing in the southern coastal areas. It was really strange that they suddenly appeared to disrupt the Yu family.

"Are the owner and directors of that shop still members of the Bai family?" Yu Song went straight to the point.

He was almost certain that this matter had little to do with the Bai family. If it was really a lie, it was probably someone from the Bai family who was being used.

Now if we want to deal with Yu Sanlang, or to say, if we want to deal with the Yu family, there are only two options.

One is for Yu Sanlang's future. Tan Bailu's term of office will end next year, and he will certainly not stay any longer. At that time, Yu Sanlang, as a person who was rewarded for his merits, will naturally take over the position of county magistrate.

The other reason is because he will go to Beijing for the exam in March next year, and he is afraid of blocking someone's way.

"My lord, the Bai family's shop in Wu'an County is now divided among the Sixth Branch of the Bai family. The one in charge is the concubine of the wife of the head of the Sixth Branch. The Sixth Wife of the Bai family is the eldest daughter of the president of Yashan Academy in the county." Qingzhu was well prepared and had investigated all the connections of the Bai family's wife's family.

When Yu Hongdou walked in, Qingzhu had just finished talking. She listened to the end and her first reaction was the Xu family in the county.

"Xu family? Not likely." Yu Song pondered for a moment. It's not impossible, but it's a bit incongruous.

After all, the Xu family and his family are already enemies, but it would be too stupid to trip them up or win them over in such a roundabout way.

"Master, Miss, Wu Xingyun said he wants to see you for something." The brother and sister were marking the names of the people when Qian Sanmei came in from outside to report.

Wu Xingyun? Yu Hongdou was puzzled. What was she doing here?
Wu Xingyun, who was rescued from the county in a desperate situation, fell ill when she arrived at the farm. The injuries that had not yet been healed, coupled with the huge blow, almost broke down this strong eldest daughter of the Wu family.

For a while, Yu Hongdou felt that she had been cheated by the sign-in system. In Wu Xingyun's current condition, it was difficult for him to even get out of bed, let alone be her bodyguard.

But the system obviously did not give Yu Hongdou the opportunity to question it. After Yu Hongdou and others found the bodies of the mother and son, Wu Xingyun sat up in shock from his dying illness and was immediately excited.

She cooperated and went to the yamen to identify the body. After learning some "inside information" from Yu Sanlang, she thought about it and knew what kind of conspiracy was involved behind the destruction of the escort agency.

During this period, Yu Hongdou and the others were not at home. Wu Xingyun, who had just recovered from a serious illness, took the initiative to ask Yu Sanlang for permission to secretly track down the suspicious people from the Western Regions and foreign countries in the city.

At the same time, Wu Xingyun also picked a few smart children from the village and began to teach them martial arts.

Yu Hongdou only learned something from Qian Simei last night. She hadn't even had time to ask Wu Xingyun about the situation, but she didn't expect her to come first.

"Master, Miss." Wu Xingyun bowed as she entered the room. Judging from her respectful attitude, it was obvious that compared to the last time they met, she had already regarded herself as a subordinate of the Yu family.

"That woman's name is Qingyi. She used to be the top prostitute in Cuiming Garden in Zhouxian County. Three years ago, she was redeemed by the fifth master of the Bai family and became his concubine. Last year, the fifth master went to the coastal area for inspection and accidentally fell into the water and died. Qingyi was almost sold. Later, for some unknown reason, the sixth wife of the Bai family sent her to work in the shop."

Wu Xingyun was obviously here to deliver a message. It was obvious that Qingzhu could not find out the inner chamber news in such a short time.

"Why is she targeting my father?" Yu Hongdou was puzzled. Whether it was Cuiming Garden or the Bai family's backyard, her father was not even close.

"Qingyi only worked in the backyard of the shop doing laundry and rarely showed up in front of people. Not long ago, she accidentally ran into a group of drunk foreigners while out and was rescued by a patrolling master. Later, she went to the government office several times to thank the master. The master originally refused, but later found a clue hidden in the gift she gave him."

Wu Xingyun looked at Yu Hongdou with a look of gratitude and disappointment.

Originally, she was thinking about reviving the Zongheng Escort Agency one day in the future. However, after cooperating with the investigation of the Yu family master, Wu Xingyun discovered that there were so many mysterious things in this world. With her own strength, she might not be able to touch the door even if she spent her whole life.

In this case, it would be better to stay and protect the young lady according to the agreement with the master of the Yu family, and find out what truth is hidden behind the arson that burned down the Zongheng Escort Agency.

Yu Hongdou didn't know that her father had helped her win over the captain of the guard who would be loyal to her for the rest of his life. At this moment, she just wanted to know the origins of Qingyi.

Unfortunately, Yu Sanlang was very busy at that time and had not been home for several days. When Qingyi came again uninvited, Yu Hongdou was so surprised that she almost dropped her jaw.
