Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 31 Accidental Discovery
"Who are you guys? What are you doing here if you have nothing to do? Hurry up and don't get in the way of the uncle here." The steward who patrolled the field saw them face to face, and the clothes on their bodies were also ordinary, and they didn't look like a big family They shouted loudly, telling them to leave.

Ning Erlan stepped forward. "Are you the steward here?"

Hearing Ning Erlan's question, the steward couldn't help frowning. "Who are you? I'm the steward here."

"Master Ning has already sold this piece of land to me, and I will be the owner of this place from now on." As he spoke, Xinyue took out the title deed Ning Guoan had given her.

The steward looked at the land deed in Ning Erlan's hand, rolled his eyes, quickly changed his attitude, nodded and bowed his head and said, "Hehe, what is your name, sir, when did Master Ning buy this land for you?"

"This is not your concern. Now take me to the field to have a look. I heard that the harvest here is not as good as every year, but is it true?"

Ning Erlan's eyes were observing the surrounding environment.

The steward saw that Ning Erlan was just a child who hadn't grown up yet, and felt that she was being fooled. "Hey, young master, I don't know. This piece of land is not good. The old man who has lived here said that this place has been cursed by people, and I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult in the future..."

"Curse?" Ning Erlan sneered. She never believed in ghosts and gods. Is it easy for this manager to pretend that she is a three-year-old child?
"Yeah, actually, the young master doesn't know that this field used to be a cemetery..."

"The farm workers hired here are all from nearby villages?" Ning Erlan interrupted him.

"Uh, yes, it's from a nearby village."

"Write a list of the farmers who were injured last time and give it to me."

"What does the young master want that for? Those who were arrested were arrested, and those who fled escaped."

"You just write it. You two go with the steward and ask him to tell you what he usually does as the steward and what to pay attention to. The two of you will go with me to the field to have a look." Ning Erlan pointed behind her Wan Laoqi selected two smarter people to go with the steward, and he took the remaining two people to the field.

The location of this field is very open and there is plenty of sunlight. Even if, as the steward said, this place was originally a cemetery, the land would be more fertile.

"Have you ever farmed before?"

The two people behind her looked quite simple and honest, and the taller one scratched his head and smiled innocently. "I used to work for my mother in the crop fields."

Ning Erlan squatted down and grabbed a handful of mud. "Looking at the soil quality, maybe the crops have been planted?"

He grabbed some and squeezed them in his hands. "Of course, this is fertile soil."

After walking around for a while, Ning Erlan looked at the sun that was gradually rising in the middle of the sky, with a calm yet invisible smile on the corner of her lips,

It seems that her shrewd father was tricked this time!
The two people who were called to follow the steward also came back, still holding a list in their hands.

Ning Erlan took the list, looked at it briefly, and then looked at the sky, then looked at Wang Yue, who was ordinary but had a pair of shrewd eyes behind him. "You have been with Wan Laoqi for many years, and you must be familiar with the geographical location here. Later, we will go to those people's villages according to the list on the paper."

Several people were a little curious about why Ning Erlan would do this, but they didn't ask any questions. They ordered yes, and after she and Xinyue got into the carriage, they drove to the village one mile away.

"Tell me, you two, what did you see at the steward's place?" Ning Erlan in the carriage opened the curtains and asked the two who followed the steward.

Since the two were sent by Wan Laoqi to follow Ning Erlan, when they left, Wan Laoqi also ordered to act according to Ning Erlan's words, so they would naturally answer truthfully. "A steward only pays one or two taels of silver a month, but the steward's house is full of fine decorations, and we found that there is a small room in his yard that no one is allowed to enter. As soon as we approached him, we panicked. Step forward and stop it."

At the same time, on the other side of the field, after the steward watched Ning Erlan and the others leave, the smirk on his face immediately dropped, and his face turned gloomy.

"I said, who is this person? Why did he come to our place? Could it be that he found something?" A man wearing a Confucian-colored blue shirt and skirt, with slightly dark skin, and a golden hairpin in his black hair that doesn't match his temperament The woman patted the steward who was standing silently and asked.

The steward sneered and retracted his gaze. "It's just a child whose fur hasn't grown yet. What can he find out? Hid all the treasures. Look at you, you really don't look like a prince in a dragon robe." The steward looked at the man impatiently. The woman glanced, turned and walked to another room.

Compared with this old woman who has been with him for more than twenty years, the concubine he just bought a while ago looks much more pleasing to the eye.

The woman spat, looked resentfully at the direction the steward was leaving, then turned and left.

The carriage swayed, and Ning Erlan could clearly feel the shaking under her buttocks becoming more and more violent. She was so shaken that she wanted to sleep, but she had no choice but to ask them to stop the carriage and wait outside the Zhuangzi, leaving alone Waiting outside, he walked into Zhuangzi with Xinyue and the others.

As soon as she walked into the Zhuangzi, Ning Erlan could feel the simplicity of the Zhuangzi, the haystacks in the rice fields, and the playful children passing by from time to time.

Seeing them and their group, many women looked a little out of place with the Zhuangzi's clothes, so many of them stood there and looked at them.

Ning Erlan looked at the list in her hand.The Li family on the west side of Zhuangzi, Li Si.This Li Si is similar to a foreman. Many times, when agricultural workers are needed, the manager will go to him directly.

Only the name was written on the paper, but the address was not written. It is better to ask the people in Zhuangzi to find out.

Xinyue saw what Ning Erlan meant, and after asking a few words, she walked up to a peasant woman. "Sister-in-law, we are here to find someone in Zhuangzi. I don't know where Li Si's family is?"

The peasant woman was a bit stout, wearing the sackcloth that ordinary people usually wear, and her face was tanned. When she saw Xinyue walking in front of her, she took a step back defensively.After hearing Xinyue's inquiry, she turned around and walked away, her steps were fast and staggering.

Ning Erlan frowned slightly as she looked at the back of the peasant woman leaving.

"Young master, I look scary, why does that peasant woman run away when she sees me?" Xinyue felt extremely aggrieved, did she look very vicious?Look at how it runs, it's faster than flying!

Amused by Xinyue's appearance, she shook her head helplessly.It was her negligence. Before, the people headed by Li Si were just wanted by the government, and now they are looking for someone again. It is normal for these simple farmers to be a little scared and at a loss.

They walked all the way and asked several times in a row, but the reaction of those people was exactly the same as that of the first peasant woman.They can't ask any useful information at all.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Ning Erlan was about to say that she was going back home when she saw a figure walking towards them.

Ning Erlan didn't care about it at first, but as the figure got older and closer, there was a hint of doubt in her eyes. She looked somewhat familiar with this person.

When she passed by her that day, Ning Erlan suddenly thought that this person was the cute woman he and Guan Furan met on the street not long ago, that woman disguised as a man!
Seeing that she is still dressed in men's clothing today, but her big eyes that are full of spirit seem lifeless at this moment.

"This little brother, please stay." Ning Erlan stepped forward quickly, blocking Li Peishan's way.

Li Peishan, who was still immersed in her own thoughts, looked up at her curiously.Frowning, she saw a face that was completely unfamiliar to her.

"Who are you? What are you doing to stop me?"

Knowing that her actions might be a bit reckless, Ning Erlan showed a harmless smile on her face. "Brother, don't get me wrong. I just want to find someone in this village, but I don't know where he lives, so I want to ask you for directions."

As soon as she heard that she was looking for someone in Zhuangzi, Li Peishan's eyes immediately burst into sadness. Although she quickly concealed it, Ning Erlan saw it in her eyes.

"Who are you looking for?" Although she was worried, she couldn't refuse others because of her kind nature.

"I don't know, little brother, do you know where Li Si's family is in this village?"

"Li Si? Who are you? What do you want him for?" As soon as she heard Ning Erlan's name, Li Peishan looked at her warily like a furry cat.

Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows with interest, does she have anything to do with Li Si?
"Brother, don't get excited. We don't have any malicious intentions. I am the owner of the field one mile ahead. I just want to find out about the situation of my field from the former farm workers."

Li Peishan looked at Ning Erlan suspiciously, seeing that her eyes were clear and she didn't look like she was lying, so she frowned. "Come with me."

Ning Erlan knew that Li Peishan had promised to help her, so she nodded and followed behind her.

A few people bypassed a few trails, and felt that there were fewer and fewer people. Not long after, an old-looking blank room appeared in front of everyone.

Li Peishan walked into the room first. "Come in. This is Li Si's home."

Ning Erlan walked into the room, and a dank breath came over her face.The room is very dark, and when there is no sunlight, the day is like night.

There were two beds in the room, a shabby wooden table and a few chairs, and nothing else.The four walls of the house can be used to describe what she saw in front of her eyes.

"Brother, don't you know who it is from Li Si?" If he was able to bring them so easily, he must be familiar with this place.

"I am his child, are you from the government or from the Ning family? Let me tell you, my father has escaped, and I don't know where he is now." After Li Peishan finished speaking, there was no worry in her eyes. Undisguisedly revealed.

"Actually, I want to know what happened that day. Could my little brother tell me? I think this matter is a bit strange. Maybe your father and the others have some unavoidable reasons?" Seeing her expression , Ning Erlan's doubts were even heavier, and she felt that the matter of Ning Guoan's injury might not be that simple.

"You also think my father and the others are innocent? I never believed that my father would do such a thing." Hearing what Ning Erlan said, Li Peishan's eyes showed excitement.He stepped forward and grabbed Ning Erlan's hand regardless of etiquette.
