Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 205 The Plan Can't Keep Up With Changes

Hong Haoan has been busy for a while, and finally has more free time. However, Youshantang has fewer children, and even Youshantang has become stricter. It is necessary to find two more people to help in the slaughter of chickens and ducks, so he followed Qi The shopkeeper found two more reliable and honest women, talked to shopkeeper Qi, and then came back.

"Lady, what's the matter?" Hong Hao'an asked worriedly seeing that Pu Huang was a little absent-minded.

"It's okay, I just ran into an acquaintance, and her grandson disappeared."

"Acquaintances?" Hong Hao'an was a little strange. He also knew almost all the people Puhuang knew. Could it be that he met people from the village again? That's not right. Those are all Puhuang hates. Judging from her tone, he got along well. Not bad, not too young, did he miss something?
Pu Huang recalled that Hong Hao'an didn't know Mrs. Liang, so she explained: "You also know that I'm not from this side. It was Mrs. Liang who brought me here and let me choose someone else."

This is the first time Hong Haoan heard Puhuang talk about this matter, he was a little surprised, especially the last sentence, his heart suddenly jumped rapidly, which shows that Puhuang could have chosen a better family back then, whether it was Hong Hao'an was very grateful for the reason why she chose him. Fortunately, she chose him at the beginning, otherwise he couldn't believe what he would look like now, and he might have died long ago.

"My lady, you haven't mentioned this." Hong Haoan put down the shovel in his hand and looked at Puhuang with complicated eyes.

"That's not a happy thing. There's nothing to say. It's done. The pot is almost burnt. Hurry up and turn it over." As he said, he stuffed another handful of firewood into the stove.

While stirring the dishes in the pot, Hong Haoan asked, "But I'm glad you chose me, lady. There is still no news about the children, but several parents have mentioned that strangers have appeared nearby. I think it should be well planned, and there are a lot of people, and more importantly, all of them are boys, which is a bit strange."

"Do you suspect that the secret organization did it?" Puhuang felt strange, this organization had already abducted so many young children and women every year, so there was no need to do such a thing again.

"Well, I got some news from Detective Wei. These child abductors are all plain-looking, no one will remember them, and they move quickly without leaving any traces. All this shows that they are organized and organized. Disciplinary organization, I guess, should have some special purpose." Hong Haoan took a plate and put the dishes on, washed them in the pot, and started frying other dishes.

"The question is, how are so many children sent away? Did you find anything at the pier?" The most likely possibility is that the children were transported out in wooden barrels. If the pier can find out the news, there may be some The clue is gone.

Hong Haoan's hands paused, "Captain Cai quickly said that he didn't see anything special, but I think it's still necessary to carefully check the boats where the children left after they were lost to see if there might be problems."

"Specially check the ships of the Qin family."

"This must be checked, but if you want to check the boats at the pier, the prefect will definitely know. The county magistrate is a little timid, and this trouble is a bit big." There is really no way to investigate if they leave under cover.

"That's true, but we can think of it, and I believe other people can think of it. Let's just sit and wait for the news. Magistrate Lu should have a plan." Pu Huang didn't think that other people were so stupid, and he could think of it. People can also think, "By the way, you should stop contacting County Magistrate Lu. Now that a bunch of people are staring at us, it is estimated that Lu Qing's side is not safe."

"Miss, don't worry, I know it well." Hong Hao'an put the vegetables in a bowl, "Miss, don't think about it, eat first, let's go to see Zhuangzi tomorrow, I have someone repair it, I believe you will like it."

The road to Zhuangzi was much easier and less bumpy. Puhuang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hong Haoan to ask someone to repair the road. The layout of Zhuangzi was still the same, and the inside of the house was repainted. , the furniture looks new, and the style is according to Puhuang's favorite.

I walked around the master bedroom, and then went out for a circle. There were newly planted trees by the lake, and Puhuang recognized several of them. In the corner of the room, there were also a lot of climbing vines, but they were a little wilted. .

"My lady, when will we move here?" Although it is convenient to live in the city, Hong Hao'an doesn't like the crowds. It reminds him of the memories of being surrounded and discussed. Living in Zhuangzi, no one knows his identity. In the past, I didn't ask him various questions that he didn't like to answer, which made him feel more comfortable quickly.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to explain about the salted duck eggs." Puhuang calculated the time, and in short, he must not stay in Spring City before June. It's convenient."

"It only takes about an hour to go to Spring City by water." Hong Haoan took Puhuang to the cellar, "I bought a lot of grain, and the rice was not shelled. , the production on Zhuangzi is ours, and I have already settled it with Lin Dong's family."

"Well, the production is all ours, so we don't need to buy too much. We still do the pickled duck eggs ourselves. If we sell them, we can hand them over to the shopkeeper. There is no need to rent a store, and old customers know where to go. Get the goods." Puhuang thinks about it, and it's hard work for the shopkeeper, and it's not easy to find someone trustworthy in a short time.

"Well, then I'll go back and talk to shopkeeper Qi, and take him with him for a while." Hong Hao'an nodded, thinking that shopkeeper Qi's ability is not just a lo mei shop, and he can handle it with an extra burden.

The two stayed at Zhuangzi for one night. Not long after they returned from Zhuangzi, they began to arrange. The shopkeeper Qi, as they said, is very capable, and in addition to the business of pickled duck eggs, he is very competent. Puhuang and Hong Haoan also very satisfied.

But in Chuncheng, people are getting more and more panic, because some children are missing, this time it is a girl of the same age. Everyone sensed a little difference, one after another, some wealthy people quietly left Chuncheng, of course to do business or visit relatives.

"Miss, something went wrong." Hong Hao'an was sweating profusely when he came back, drank a large bowl of water, and panted.

Puhuang was making rice dumplings with Xiaoyu and his children at this time, and when they saw Hong Haoan coming back, he let Xiaoyu and the others do it by themselves, and then pulled Hong Haoan aside: "What's going on, you're running in such a hurry?"

"Miss, do you still remember Mr. Yu, who was killed in the river outside the pier, and his body floated up today." Hong Haoan lowered his voice, just at that time, a businessman from the north came to ask about pickled duck eggs. He sent the people to the pier, and happened to see those migrant workers carrying the corpse back. It was already swollen, the face was scratched, and the face was blurred. The lower body was stabbed many times with knives. In addition, there were fish Bite marks, in short, many people present vomited.

"Why did you die suddenly?" Didn't he die so badly in the magistrate's mansion all the time?

"I don't know the details, but I heard that he disappeared for a few days, and the prefect asked people to search for him secretly. Some people said that Mr. Yu was invited out that day, claiming that he could cure his illness, and then disappeared."

"This kind of person has more than enough time to die. There is nothing to sympathize with. The magistrate is angry because he is afraid of being held accountable by the higher-ups. This Mr. Yu's background is not simple." Pu Huang didn't sympathize with this person's tragic death at all. If you want him to say, In modern times, there are all kinds of surveillance, and some of them can’t be broken secretly, let alone ancient times. Once they escaped and kept their names incognito, no one could find out.

Hong Hao'an nodded, "Indeed, the magistrate said that he would search all over Chuncheng to find the murderer. I guess someone will be framed. Let's be careful."

"We're investigating now?" Pu Huang frowned. The magistrate really put the cart before the horse. He didn't care about the child's disappearance. He spent so much time for a villain, and it probably won't last long. "I'll let the child of Youshantang go back first. I reckon it will not be easy to leave these two days, we have to see the situation."

Who knew that Mr. Yu would die suddenly and cause the government to go to war, causing martial law in the whole city and ruining his plan. It's really annoying, "Well, I'll send them back, my lady be careful at home."

"Well, you should also be careful." Puhuang nodded, took something for Xiaoyu and the others to take back to cook, then closed the door, began to inspect the entire yard, and went to the next door to see Feng Xiaodie, telling her not to go out for a few days , be careful.

Originally, Pu Huang thought that if the search for this matter was fruitless, the magistrate would stop, but the development of the matter was different from what he imagined. Everything became chaotic, and he didn't know what was going on. It was artificially set on fire.

No one died, but quite a few were injured. The magistrate's favorite concubine had a miscarriage because of it. The magistrate was furious and ordered a search of the whole city again, vowing to catch the arsonist.Pu Huang feels that the person who killed Young Master Yu should not be the same person, but their purpose is the same, that is to kill the magistrate.

The magistrate had no place to live, so he could only take people with him, and shamelessly borrowed a house in the north of the city, and lived in it, but it didn't go well. Either he got food poisoning today, or tomorrow, the rats made trouble, making the chubby prefect grey. But there is nothing to do about these emergencies, because the rest of the house is trustworthy.

Seeing that the magistrate suffered many disasters, but neither the murderer was caught nor any traces were seen, rumors arose in Chuncheng, saying that the girl who was killed by Mr. Yu came to claim her life, because the magistrate was an accomplice and wanted to pester him until death.

For this matter, the magistrate also specially recruited Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple to exorcise ghosts, but things still did not change, and major and minor disasters continued. In the middle of May, the magistrate finally fell down, but he was unconscious, and the doctors could not see him. There is no reason, but the people in Spring City did not become free, but were controlled by an army that fell from the sky, and things became complicated and confusing.
