Farmer's happy event

Chapter 512 The Thief
Lianzi opened the door carefully, trying not to let it make any noise, and then took advantage of the faint light of the moon to sneak out of the yard.

Lu Jingxing's salary was not high, and Madam Lu ran the house frugally, so in the middle of the night, the yard was not lit.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Lianzi went out of the yard, and then went to the study.

During the daytime yesterday, she went to look for Lu Jingxing, first to say that she wanted to go out to help, and second, to check the nearby terrain.

Like other places, the study room was completely dark at this time, and no one was guarding it.

Lianzi felt that people here liked to keep important documents in their study rooms. Although she was not sure, Lianzi thought she had to look for it. She couldn't sit still, and she might be able to find some favorable evidence.

She quietly approached the door of the study, looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, and listened carefully to make sure there was nothing unusual, so she opened the door and went in.

However, at this moment, Lianzi suddenly withdrew her outstretched hand, and then dodged and hid under the eaves next to her.

She vaguely heard footsteps approaching here, although she was not very clear, but she did hear it.

Facts have proved that Lianzi heard correctly. After only a moment, a black shadow came to the door of the room.

Could it be that this person is also here to steal something?
Lianzi couldn't help thinking, trying hard to see this person's face clearly, but the night was too thick and dark, so she couldn't see clearly at all.

There was a soft "squeak" from the door of the study room, and then the man stepped inside easily.

Lianzi didn't leave, she still wanted to see, who is this person, and what is he going to do here?
It was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and it was naturally the same scene inside.

After a while, Lianzi saw a pea-sized light coming out of it, presumably, it was the person who lit the candle.

Lianzi thought to herself, maybe this is the only chance to see who that person is.When he puts out the fire, he will never see it again.

Thinking of this, Lianzi quietly walked around behind the light, feeling that it should be behind the man, then moved closer to the window and looked inside.

However, the fire that the man lit was also very weak. If you don't distinguish carefully, you still can't see clearly what's going on inside.What's more, that man still pointed the back of his head at her?
Just looking at this person's back, Lianzi felt very familiar.But she couldn't remember who it was or where she saw it.

Lianzi stared inside carefully, and saw the man rummaged through the desk, even the inside of the book, but after searching for a while, he couldn't find what he wanted.

At this moment, the man turned around and looked at the row of bookshelves behind him.

Lianzi was startled by his sudden movement, and hurriedly squatted down to hide.

However, after hearing no movement for a long time, and seeing that the light inside was still stable, Lianzi calmed down her beating heart, and moved to the window again.

This time, she saw the man's face.

However, after taking a look, Lianzi immediately hid again, fearing that he would find out.

This person turned out to be He Lanting.

It was He Lanting, the head of the Ministry of Industry, who came to Cangshan Mountain with Su Keyan for disaster relief.

At the beginning, Su Keyan said that he was only in charge of engineering affairs, he was a nice person, and he was more serious and responsible, so all along, Lianzi thought that he was an upright and hardworking person, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be so extraordinary.

Why did he visit Lu Jingxing's study late at night?
Lianzi was thinking in her heart, when suddenly she heard the door creak again, and then it was closed.

Apparently, he's gone.

Lianzi stayed where she was until she heard his footsteps go away, then quietly left again and went back to her room.

Liandong stayed in the room all the time, feeling very upset, afraid that something might happen to Lianzi.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed, and Liandong trembled in fright, but did not dare to make a sound.

After the door was pushed open, after a while, Liandong heard Lianzi's voice calling her, patted her chest, and felt relieved.

"Grandma, you're scaring me to death." Liandong couldn't help but whispered.

Lianzi walked over, looked at the figure of Lonicera by the weak light in the room, and said, "It's also going to scare me to death."

She grew up so big, and it was the first time she did such a thrilling thing. Even when she was robbed by gangsters when she was a child, she never panicked like today.

Before she went, she had already planned to be caught, but as for what excuse she should make after being caught, she hadn't figured it out yet.

"Turn on the lamp." Lianzi ordered.

At this time, if someone asks, just say that he got up at night, and no one will doubt that he really didn't do anything just now anyway.

Liandong agreed, and lit a lamp.

With the help of the light, she saw the pale face of Lianzi, and she could guess how thrilling it was just now.

"Let's have a cup of tea." Liandong poured a cup of tea for her, making her feel overwhelmed.

Lianzi took the tea bowl, drank the tea inside in one go, and then put the tea bowl on the table.

"Okay, you go to sleep." Lianzi said.

Liandong waited for her to lie down on the bed, then turned off the light and returned to her room.

After all this fright, Lianzi didn't feel sleepy at all, and the scene she saw just now kept appearing in her mind, He Lanting's calm face under the big candlelight.

Lianzi tossed and turned, but never figured out why he went to Lu Jingxing's study to investigate.
Could it be that he also came out to find evidence to save Su Keyan?

But Lianzi immediately denied this conjecture.

He Lanting is the newly appointed head of the Ministry of Industry, and his relationship with Su Keyan can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good either. He simply can't afford to take such a big risk for him.And both of them lived in this county government, if he really had this idea, why didn't he tell Lianzi?

Therefore, Lianzi immediately denied the idea that he was on her side.

If you're not on your side, then what are you doing?
Lianzi thought through what Su Keyan said before and everything about He Lanting, hoping to get some inspiration, but even though she thought about it half the night, her mind was still a mess, and she couldn't make sense of it at all.

He rummaged through Lu Jingxing's study for a long time, wondering if he found what he wanted.

Speaking of this, Lianzi couldn't help but think again, what exactly does he want?
Lianzi didn't fall asleep all night, this news was really shocking to her.It wasn't until dawn that Liandong came to wake her up, and then she rubbed her eyes and let Liandong take care of her.

Seeing the dark blue under her eyes, Liandong couldn't help saying: "If you want to sleep, just sleep for a while, you're fine."

But Lianzi shook her head and said, "No need, get up, it's getting late."

Even if she sleeps again, she won't be able to fall asleep, she might as well get up, think about it, maybe she can figure it out.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lu came over with Lu Qian'er.

"Hey, what did Madam Su do last night?" Madam Lu asked in surprise when she saw the blue color in Lianzi's eyes.

Before Lianzi could speak, Liandong said first: "Mrs. Lu, you must persuade my wife. Last night, I didn't sleep for a while, and I was worried about my lord."

Lianzi smiled slightly when she heard the words, acquiescing to Liandong's statement, she was worried that she couldn't find a suitable reason.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu stepped forward and said, "Didn't you just keep talking, Madam Su, don't worry, Mrs. Su will definitely be blessed and come back safely."

Hearing what she said, Lianzi sighed and nodded.

"That's what I said too, but my wife couldn't help it, she just couldn't let it go, no, last night she didn't close her eyes all night." Lian Dong said again.

Mrs. Lu said "oh", then suddenly said: "Mrs. Su didn't close her eyes all night last night, did you hear anything?"

Lianzi was startled when she heard the words, did something happen?
But she still had a puzzled look on her face, she shook her head and said, "No, what happened?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu said, "The house has been burglarized."

"What? How did you recruit the thief so well?" Lu Qian'er asked in confusion.

She has never encountered such a thing since she grew up. Now this is still in the county government. Where can there be thieves?
Lianzi also felt that there might be something wrong with what happened last night, and they found clues, so they came to test her.

"Really? Who is so brave that the county government dares to steal it?" Lianzi said, and asked anxiously, "Did you lose something?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head, and said, "I haven't lost anything. Mrs. Su is very aware of the situation in my family. Your Excellency only has a little salary, and there is nothing valuable."

Lianzi nodded and said with a smile, "Then this thief made a mistake."

Mrs. Lu continued: "When my lord came back this morning, he found some soot in the study, and there were footprints in front of the door. That's when I discovered it."

It turned out to be the case.

The soot must have been accidentally spilled by He Lanting last night, but the footprints at the door, I don't know if there are hers.

She also arrived at the door of the study last night, but she hid when she heard someone coming.

However, seeing Mrs. Lu like this, what she said must be suspicious of her, but I can't be sure, so I came to test it out.

"That's good, as long as I didn't lose anything." Lu Qian'er patted her chest and said, "A thief came at night. Thinking about it, I'm so freaked out that I'm in a cold sweat."

Lianzi nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't fall asleep last night, and I didn't hear anything."

After hearing the words, Lu Qian'er continued, "Madam's yard is far away from the study. It's normal if you don't hear it. If you say it's close, mother's yard is much closer."
