Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 144: Inquire about information
Qu Shaoyang did not take Lin Ruolan's banknotes. He turned around and went back to his home. He found gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes and other things from the secret compartment under the cabinet in the east room.

The situation is unclear at the moment, and Qu Shaoyang doesn't know how to save people. He will prepare the money first and decide whether to use it or not.

After packing up, Qu Shaoyang went to the guys' residence, called Xing Jia and Xing Ye, and asked them to pack some clothes and luggage and go out with him.

Xingjia and Xingye always followed Qu Shaoyang when he went out to do business, and they were used to it. When they heard this, they immediately packed up their things.

"Master's wife, Xiuyun, you two give us the revolvers first."

When going out to do business, it is too conspicuous to carry a rifle, so it is more convenient to carry a revolver.

Lin Ruolan and Chen Xiuyun hurriedly took out their revolvers and bullets and gave them to Qu Shaoyang and Liu Dongshan.

The quick-firing rifle at home was asked to be carried by Xingjia and Xingye, and the two muskets were left at home just in case.

The four men rode out on horseback and galloped all the way to Kuandian.

They traveled day and night, without stopping except to feed the horses and eat, and finally arrived at Kuandian City after three and a half days.

The four of them first settled down in the inn, and then did not go directly to the Si'antang Medical Clinic, but wandered around there, asking for news.

When the weather gets warmer, there are always some elderly people on the streets, chatting, playing chess, etc.

Liu Dongshan deliberately approached them, became familiar with them, and asked about the Chen family's affairs.

"Brother, why is Shi'an Hall closed? I heard people say that the doctor was very good at treating patients, wasn't he?"

"Oh, don't mention it, I don't know who their family has offended.

The clinic was closed down, and Doctor Chen and his wife were thrown into jail."

An old man heard this, shook his head and sighed.

"I know this. Doctor Chen and his wife helped Master Tong's concubine give birth. For some reason, both the concubine and the child died.

The Tong family said that it was Doctor Chen and his wife who did it, so they arrested them and sent them to jail.

Alas, this world is so unfair. I was a doctor, trying my best to save people, but in the end I ended up in jail."

This has been the hottest topic in the county recently, and many people around have started discussing it.

"It wasn't just Doctor Chen and his wife. His second son went to the Tong residence to argue, was beaten up, and was also arrested.

There was also his little daughter. A group of people came to his house that evening and were determined to capture the girl.

You know what, that girl was pretty wild, she shot and injured several people and then ran away."

"Yes, yes, I heard from someone that the one who led the people to capture the daughter of the Chen family was Young Master Jiang from the Jiang family compound.

He is the one who has more than ten concubines and wants to bring a girl with a flat head and a pretty face home when he sees her.

I seem to have heard someone say that the eldest young master of the Jiang family has taken a liking to the young girl of the Chen family, and has even sent someone to propose marriage, hoping to take her home as his concubine.

At that time, the daughter of the Chen family had already been engaged, so Doctor Chen rejected the proposal from the Jiang family. "

When there are so many people, there are always some who are well-informed. By piecing together all this information, you can know a lot of things.

After hearing this, Liu Dongshan probably understood.

"Doesn't the Chen family have another son? Didn't his eldest son come forward to try to save people?"

What Liu Dongshan was most concerned about was whether Chen Yunhan had returned.

"I heard that the eldest son of the Chen family went out to study under a famous teacher, but I heard that he was quite far away.

I guess he didn't come back, anyway, I didn't see him." Someone replied.

Liu Dongshan chatted with these people for an entire afternoon and found out everything he wanted to know. Then he returned to the inn and told Qu Shaoyang what had happened.

Qu Shaoyang was also busy, he went to the Tong family to inquire about the news. It was said that the old man of the Tong family and his wife were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and had a good relationship.

But after all these years since Jiang's daughter got married, she has only given birth to a son and a daughter, and no more children.

As for men, few are honest, let alone the master of the Tong family. What kind of women can't he get in touch with in the outside world? As a result, he took in several concubines.

Among them, a concubine named Hu was the most favored. She gave birth eight months prematurely, and eventually both she and her child died.

"According to the information I got, your eldest brother-in-law hasn't come back yet, and I'm not sure where he is.

I think your guess is right. It must be the secrets in the backyard of a wealthy family, and they are using your father-in-law and mother-in-law as a shield.

Shaoyang, what do you think we should do about this? Otherwise, I will take some money and go to the government office tomorrow to negotiate for a settlement?"

Liu Dongshan is also a little worried now. The Tong family is a wealthy family. If there is not enough money, they may not be able to get things done. If there is too much money, they may not be able to take it out.

"Master, let's not show up yet, and don't alert the government.

Let me think about how to rescue him."

This matter is a bit troublesome now. Not only were Doctor Chen and his wife framed, but Chen Xiuyun also shot and injured someone. It will definitely be difficult to resolve the problem if there is less money.

"Tomorrow, I will lead people to guard the vicinity of Shi'an Hall, hoping to find Xiuyun's elder brother.

Master, can you help me find out more about the Tong family? Find out more details, and it would be best if you can find out who are the people in each branch of their family. "

Qu Shaoyang was worried that if Chen Yunhan did the same thing as Chen Yunzhe and went to Tong's house in a daze, he would be arrested as soon as he showed up.

For now we can only guard Shi'an Hall. As soon as Chen Yunhan comes out, we have to hold him down first to prevent him from causing trouble, and we can deal with other things later.

Liu Dongshan couldn't think of any good idea, so he could only agree.

So, the next day, Qu Shaoyang brought people to guard near Shi'an Hall, while Liu Dongshan went to inquire about the Tong family.

Coincidentally, on that evening, when it was getting dark, a person quietly approached Shi'an Hall.

Qu Shaoyang was watching from a distance. As soon as he saw the man's figure, he knew it was Chen Yunhan.

So he walked over quickly and dragged Chen Yunhan into the alley next to him.

"Brother, don't make any noise. It's me, Shao Yang."

Qu Shaoyang was afraid that Chen Yunhan would shout loudly and alarm others, so he reminded him in a low voice.

After receiving the news from home, Chen Yunhan rushed back immediately.

He just arrived in the city today and didn't know the specific situation at home. He just thought that his parents were thrown into jail.

So I wanted to go home first and discuss it with my younger brothers and sisters.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at his front door, before he could see what was going on, he was dragged into the alley by Qu Shaoyang.

"No, Shaoyang, why are you here? What's going on at home?" Chen Yunhan was startled and looked at Qu Shaoyang in shock.

"It's hard to explain in a few words. So, come with me to the inn and stay there. I'll explain it to you slowly.

There is no one at home now, my second brother has been arrested and thrown into prison, Xiuyun is at my house."

Qu Shaoyang looked at both ends of the alley and decided that this was not the place to talk, so he pulled Chen Yunhan and left quickly.

Chen Yunhan was dragged to the inn by Qu Shaoyang in confusion and met Liu Dongshan and others.

Only then did Chen Yunhan realize that the matter was much more serious than he had thought.

"Shaoyang, tell me what's going on. I have to find a way to save people."
