Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 25 Stare at me to death

The next morning, before the village head got up, his son Zhang Hong pushed the door open and rushed into his room in a hurry, "Father, it's not good, that Ye Lingxi ran away! Even that old woman and her bastard My son is gone too!"

The village chief stood up with his clothes on, and frowned when he saw Zhang Hong's bluffing, "Why panic, I've told you several times, calm down when things happen, what does it look like to be so restless!"

"I've sent someone to watch around her house. Ye Lingxi entered the mountain in the middle of the night. As for the woman and her son..."

The village chief went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip to moisturize his throat, and then continued: "They went out this morning, they didn't hide anything from anyone, they said they were going to Linyue City to buy something .”

"The people I sent followed them all the way, and I was afraid that they might escape."

Only then did Zhang Hong heave a sigh of relief, and sat down on the chair, "It turns out that Dad, you have already made arrangements. I was worried that their family would just run away. We can't explain to them when the people from Qiongdu City come over." .”

"Hmph, do you think I'm as careless as you?" The village head glared at Zhang Hong, "Qiongdu sends us 100 taels of silver every year, and it's a lot in the past five years. I'll do things for them Do you dare to be careless?"

"It's you, you spent a lot of money, but you didn't use it for business at all!"

Zhang Hong, a 30-year-old man, was scolded by the village chief, scratched his head and said, "I just like to drink some wine. I usually take people up the mountain and so on. I haven't missed anything..."

"Take people up the mountain?" The village head slammed the teacup on the table, "I won't settle the score with you for the trouble you made this time, just think about it, you can't die of starvation if you rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, but if you go on like this, you will live forever." What can I get out of it?"

"Then why does Ye Lingxi look down on us? It's because she is from Qiongdu City, someone who has seen the world! Now you rely on you being my son, you can walk sideways in Beishan Village, but what about Qiongdu City? "

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the people there are either rich or noble, and princes and princes go everywhere. You are the son of the head of a remote village, who knows who you are when you go there? Who will see you as a person?"

The village chief sighed deeply, and when he spoke again, his tone was more earnest, "We two may be like this in this life, but Jizong is still young, and he can't be treated like us in this life." Trapped at the foot of this mountain."

Zhang Hong vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't figure out any specific thoughts in his mind. He just felt that the words of the village chief made him excited, and he couldn't help breathing a little bit, "Father, what do you mean?" yes……"

"Why do you think I have been keeping in touch with the Ye family in Qiongdu all these years? Is it just for the 100 taels of silver every year?"

The village chief gave him a sideways look, and snorted, "I was paving the way for Jizong! You also serve some snacks and let Jizong study hard. When he grows older, I will send him to Qiongdu city .”

"With Zhong Guogong Ye's family taking care of him, even if he can't get any high-ranking officials, no one would dare to underestimate him."

Zhang Hong's face turned red with excitement. The farthest place he has been to in his life is the surrounding cities. Qiongdu is the place he can only look up to in his dreams, but now the village chief told him that he His son Jizong will be able to work as an errand in Qiongdu City in the future!

This is something he never dared to dream of before!

Think about it, if his son Jizong has a promising future and gained a firm foothold in Qiongdu City, then as a father, wouldn't he also be able to go to Qiongdu City in his son's honor!

Zhang Hong rubbed his hands together excitedly, seeing that there was not much tea in the village head's cup, he immediately offered the village head some more tea, "Father, you can't just blame me, you didn't tell me before You have contacts with the Ye Family in Qiongdu City. If I knew about it earlier, how could I not care?"

"By the way, what did you just say about the Duke of Zhongguo? Could it be that Ye Lingxi was some kind of rich lady before? There is also the matter of Jizong's going to Qiongdu City, please tell me more carefully."

On Zhang Hong's side, he put on a shy face and got close to his own father. The village chief liked his courtesies quite a bit, took another sip of tea from Zhang Hong's filled teacup, and then said slowly, "That's Gao The secrets of the inner house of a big family, how can it be easy for others to know."

"Don't inquire about what you shouldn't. Knowing more may not be a good thing." The village chief has his own theory of handling things, "We take money from others and do things for them. .”

"As for Jizong..." the village head pondered for a moment when he said this, and then continued, "I'm going to deliver the letter to Qiongdu this time, and I don't know what the reaction will be there. If they really want to If we sent people to kill Ye Lingxi, then we should seize the opportunity and bring up the successor matter this time."

Zhang Hong nodded while listening, and now he was already dreaming about the happy life after he arrived in Qiongdu.

Seeing his expression, the village head almost guessed what he was thinking, and immediately his face darkened, "Before the matter is done, don't be careless at all. When the old and the young in Ye Lingxi's house come back, you will give them away. I'll keep an eye on it. As long as the two of them are still in our Beishan Village, then Ye Lingxi won't be able to find the palms of our hands."

"Father, don't worry! Just leave this matter to me!" Zhang Hong patted his chest and swore.

The voice here hadn't finished yet, when there was a rush of footsteps outside, the door was pushed open again, and the visitor seemed to be running all the way, and after entering the room, he was panting on the ground, mouth Still shouting, "No, it's not good! That Mrs. Li and Xiaobao are gone!"

The cup in the village chief's hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and smashed into pieces. He strode forward, grabbed the man by the collar and asked viciously, "What's going on! You gave me Let me make it clear! Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them! Why are they still missing!"

The person who came was the person sent by the village chief to follow Li's mother and Xiaobao. Facing the village chief's harsh questioning, that person was also full of grievances.

"I have been following them according to your instructions, but Linyue City is very lively today. The largest pharmacy in the city said that there was a happy event, and invited a juggling troupe at the door of the store, and more than half of the people in the city went to join in the fun .”

"That Mrs. Li brought Xiaobao to join the crowd. It was not easy for me to follow them. Who knew that there was a short-sighted person in the juggling troupe. He insisted on showing off to me and acted in my face. Blowing on the fire almost burned my face."

When the man said this, although his tone was still full of anger, he could clearly hear a little guilty, "Well, when I got rid of that juggler and went to see it again, I couldn't find Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li. Little Treasure."
