Chapter 49: Grievance
Fu Shaoping secluded himself for more than half a month.

When he came out of the training room, he saw big red lanterns hanging on the gate of the training room.

In two days, it will be New Year's Eve.

Except for one person who was left to guard the important department, the rest of the colleagues in the Hundred Households Office went home to prepare New Year's goods and celebrate the New Year.

When we arrived at the back office.

Different from the joyous atmosphere everywhere.

The back office was particularly deserted.

In the side hall.

Old Zhan was still lying alone on the rattan chair.

He woke up immediately after hearing the footsteps, and when he saw it was Fu Shaoping, a smile appeared on his dull face:
"You are addicted to practicing martial arts. Your family has come several times. It's New Year's Eve soon, but you, the head of the family, are not in a hurry at all. Go back quickly. Your family is waiting anxiously."

As soon as Fu Shaoping came out of confinement, he didn't go home, but ran towards himself as usual.

A warm feeling flowed through Old Zhan's heart.

There is nothing wrong with being alone on ordinary days, but when the New Year comes and every family gets together and is in a festive mood, he seems particularly lonely. Who doesn't want to be surrounded by children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family?

"Zhan Bo, this is your fault. I am in seclusion and not at home, but you are the oldest elder, so you should help out. You can't be so lazy."

Fu Shaoping said.

The men kept moving, helping to pack James' clothes.

Old Zhan lives alone, so he usually lives in the side hall at the back. When he returns home, he is alone and lonely. It is better for him to stay here without having to walk back and forth with a cane.

"You don't know how to respect your elders, kid!"

From Fu Shaoping's words, it was clear that he had already treated Old Zhan as the elder of the family.

Old Zhan was happy.

He didn't feel shy. It had been many years since he had spent the New Year alone, and he was feeling somewhat excited at the moment.

The two of them walked to East Street together.

Zhou Xinxiang, who was squatting at the door, saw them and jumped up with joy, cheering:
"Brother-in-law is back! Sister, please come out quickly, let's go buy New Year's goods together, otherwise they will be sold out if you are late!"

Apparently waited a long time.

Zhou Paner heard the voice and came out.

He first looked at Fu Shaoping inquiringly, and when Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, he knew that the other party had broken through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm. A smile immediately appeared on his face, with two beautiful dimples. Then he performed a junior's salute to Old Zhan.

Old Zhan was very happy and took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and threw it to Zhou Xinxiang:
"Xiao Xinzi, take this to buy New Year's goods!"

"Wow, it's a silver ingot!"

Zhou Xinxiang's eyes lit up.

But he looked at Fu Shaoping inquiringly.

Fu Shaoping knew that he had to let Old Zhan feel involved, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Make a list of what you want to buy, and wait until I settle James down before we go out to the street."

"Okay, brother-in-law!"

Because Fu Shaoping had already proposed to bring Old Zhan back to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, the guest room had been prepared long ago. Fu Shaoping asked Old Zhan if he wanted to eat anything in particular. Old Zhan smiled and said:
"I'm not picky about food. I eat everything."

Fu Shaoping came out of the guest room.

He casually grabbed Zhou Paner's little hand.

Long time no see.

The more Fu Shaoping looked at Sister Pan'er, the more he felt that she was becoming more and more charming. When they were about to go out, he insisted that she wear a veil, for fear that others would take a second look at her.

Zhou Paner glared at him.

"Sister, brother-in-law, if you don't leave now, everyone else will close the shop!"

Zhou Paner felt that buying New Year's goods would create a good atmosphere for the whole family, so she insisted on waiting until Fu Shaoping came out of isolation.

The three of them drove the carriage directly.

I walked through all the streets and alleys in the east, south, west and north, and bought a whole cart of New Year's goods, all kinds of things, silk and satin.

Zhou Xinxiang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

On the return trip.

But I saw it at the entrance of the town.

A horse came in with a clatter.

The person on the horse was Zhuo Xiaoqi, whom he had not seen for a long time. Zhuo Xiaoqi, who looked like Pan An, looked extremely haggard at this moment, with wounds of various sizes on his body. His eyes were empty, and he looked like a walking corpse. When he passed by Fu Shaoping, Fu Shaoping called him twice, but the other party seemed not to hear him.

Zhou Paner's eyes welled up with tears.

Fu Shaoping held her hand tightly and said softly:
"Sister Pan'er, don't worry, our daughter will definitely not meet a man like Chen Shichao in the future!"

When you discover the signs.

He cut the Gordian knot and left the other party no chance of reincarnation.

Go home.

Everyone happily began to decorate their new home.

Early the next morning.

Fu Shaoping discovered that Lao Zhan's head was missing, and the luggage in the guest room had not been packed up. After asking, he found out that the other party thought that there were few people going to the mission hall to collect the gifts, and maybe they could give Fu Shaoping a simple mission, and he could earn merit just by raising his hand.

"Sister Pan'er, please stew the mutton first. I'll go get Zhan Bo."

Fu Shaoping was moved.

Coming out of East Street and taking a few quick steps to the Hundred Households Office, there were even fewer people there today.

He rushed all the way to the entrance of the mission hall.

After the wind blew last night.

Then it began to snow.

The entire Hundred Households Office suddenly became covered in white.

Waited for a while.

The door to the mission hall opened.

Old Zhan came out with a cane and an excited look on his face. When he saw Fu Shaoping, he said quickly:
"Shaoping, I have a good task for you."

The ground was slippery with fallen snow.

Fu Shaoping saw that Old Zhan was too excited and was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly took a few steps and supported him.

Old Zhan said with a smile:
"Shao Ping, go to Qiuchang Village. This morning, a little girl came to complain, saying that her mother was murdered. The people in Qiuchang Village are all non-martial artists. You can go and take a look. Under normal circumstances, this would not be considered a ninth-level mission, but now there is no one in the Hundred Households Office, so the Mission Hall has to increase the reward value. Hehe, we got a bargain."

"Here is the file. Take it and have a look."

"Qiuchang Village isn't far away, go quickly and come back soon, maybe you can still make it back for lunch."

Old Zhan felt that he could finally do something for Fu Shaoping, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

After Fu Shaoping expressed his gratitude.

After a quick look, I found that the person who reported the case was a little girl, but her family was a large family. Her father had five brothers, sisters and brothers, and her father was the third oldest. According to the girl's statement, her mother had a big fight with the upper room last night, and she did not see her mother return to the room last night. She thought her mother was locked in the woodshed, so she went to look for her. When passing by the well, she found her mother floating at the mouth of the well. She insisted that her mother was murdered.

But who is it?

She didn't know.

Fu Shaoping put the file away.

When the two of them left the police station, they saw a little girl standing to one side, half of her body frozen. After asking, they found out that she was the one who reported the case:
"It's so cold, and you're wearing so little. Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"

Fu Shaoping took off his coat and put it on her.

The little girl was a little nervous.

Upon asking, I learned that when she found her mother's body last night, she ran away from home overnight.
