Hearing his father's footsteps, Liu Shu shrank behind Bai Zhaomei.
"father."
Liu Hong strode in, and Liu Shu snorted like a mosquito.
Liu Hong glanced at his son and walked straight to Xiao Fuyuan without stopping.
Little Fuyuan is eating hot pot noodles.
"Xiao Yuanbao, put down your chopsticks first! I have something to ask you, where is the little girl who escaped from the meditation room with you? She is the girl who speaks with a Beijing accent. Where did she go after you escaped?"
Liu Hong grabbed Xiao Fuyuan and asked with a snap.
He is now anxious and angry.
Yesterday, the magistrate of Huaicheng scolded the noble man because he was abducted in his territory, saying that if he could not be found, they would wait to be beheaded together.
Finally the noble man was found and his head was saved.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he learned that the daughter of Prince Zhongjing's palace had not been found.
Yesterday, he brought the missing child back to the county government office, then personally led people to surround the temple, got into the secret passage of the Zen room, and took back the child who was stunned by the sweat medicine inside.
People from Prince Zhongjing's palace came to ask for someone, but found that there was no one.
There is only one and a half-year-old girl, Chunya from Xiashan Village.
The girl said that the daughter of the Hou family escaped with Xiao Fuyuan.
Liu Hong stamped his feet. Yesterday, his attention was all on the noble man and he simply ignored this incident.
The daughter of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion was lost when she came to Yangfeng from the capital, which was a big deal.
The daughter's maternal grandfather was a great scholar in Huaicheng, her grandfather was a famous general in the dynasty, her father succeeded him as a marquis, and her uncle was stationed at the border.
He, Liu Hong, couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Not to mention that his official career has come to an end, I'm afraid he can't even save his head.
He, Liu Hong, has worked hard to benefit the people, but he cannot let it be ruined in the hands of a child.
Originally, retrieving the noble man, destroying the secret tunnel, and discovering the iron ore... was a great achievement, but at the end of the day, an important thing was lost.
"Xiao Yuanbao, that girl is the daughter of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion. Can you tell me where she was lost?"
Liu Hong asked eagerly with sweat on his face.
The Bai family looked shocked. What, the girl who came back with Xiao Yuanbao was the daughter of the Hou family?
Everyone looked at Feng Zhiheng.
Who would have thought that she was the daughter of a prince's family.
The biggest daughter that Shenshu Village knew was Xu Jiaojiao, the daughter of the Xu family in Nanguan Town.
When she came to Bai's house yesterday, her clothes were torn, her body was covered with mud, her hair was unkempt, and she looked just like a country girl.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the daughter of the Hou family.
Where no one found her, Zhen lowered her head and felt shocked.
When she washed Feng Zhiheng's face and feet last night, she noticed that although the girl's clothes were shabby, the embroidery was exquisite, and she spoke with a friendly local accent, so she guessed that she was the daughter of a wealthy family.
But I never expected that it was from the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.
Mr. Liu Hong continued to say to Xiao Fuyuan: "Oh, Yuanbao, you still have the heart to chew chicken legs. If that girl is lost, my head will be pinned to the waistband of my trousers. The Zhongjing Hou Mansion will not spare me. My family will be old." Don’t even think about your small fortune and life..."
Liu Shu looked nervous. His father's head was gone. What would he and his mother do?
"Master Liu..." Zhen said.
"Xiao Yuan Bao..." Magistrate Liu interrupted Zhen impatiently and looked at Xiao Fu Yuan eagerly.
Xiao Fuyuan swallowed the last bite of chicken, pointed at Feng Zhiheng beside him and said, "Master Liu, the daughter of the Hou family is here. She is a good person. Sister Feng, don't you think so."
Liu Hong: "..."
Almost petrified.
Is this the daughter of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion?
His hair was rolled up casually, he was wearing the coarse clothes of a country boy, he was holding a chicken leg and chewing on it, his face was covered with oil, and he didn't have the bearing of a marquis at all.
Feng Zhiheng's clothes were too torn to wear, and Xiao Fuyuan's clothes were too small for her. When Zhen saw that she was almost the same age as Erlang, she asked Xie Chuntao to take out Erlang's clothes for her to change into.
Most families in the countryside wear coarse cloth clothes. Even if life in Lao Bai's family is better, the boys' clothes are still coarse cloth.
Feng Zhiheng was already wearing Erlang's best clothes.
After learning that Feng Zhiheng was the daughter of the Hou family, Xie Chuntao sighed inwardly. This girl had such a good personality that she didn't want to take advantage of Qiao. Yesterday, she wore the coarse clothes she handed her and kept saying thank you.
Eugene Gui felt quite unhappy.
How could any good thing happen to Xie Chuntao? Just a piece of clothes could buy the daughter of the Hou family.
She originally had a chance to show off in front of the daughter of the Hou family.
In the morning, her mother-in-law asked her to give Feng Zhiheng face wash. She banged the basin in front of Qianjin with an unhappy face and threw a shabby face towel to her.
Just now in the kitchen, she wondered why Yu Jingui gave this girl chicken legs to eat, she was just a freeloader.
I didn’t expect it to be the daughter of the Hou family!
At this time, Eugene Gui regretted it!
She had missed the opportunity to please the daughter of the Hou family. If she had known she would have offered her chicken drumsticks just now, could she have made up for this mistake?
What if the daughter of the Hou family holds a grudge against her because of her cold face?
Feng Zhiheng put the chicken bones in the bowl, raised his eyes and looked at Liu Hong, with a serious face, and said: "Master Liu, don't worry. I am a good person. Even if something unexpected happens to me, my family will only Blame the kidnapper, not your inability to handle the case."
Mr. Liu had a sarcastic look on his face, and his words just now seemed to label the Hou Mansion as a bully.
"...What Miss Feng said is absolutely true." Liu Hong wiped the sweat from his head.
Now that the person has been found, he doesn't have to worry about his head.
He planned to personally send Feng Zhiheng to the Zhou family of Huaicheng Confucian.
"Miss Feng, I will personally escort you to Huaicheng." Liu Hongyin said.
Feng Zhiheng shook his head and said no.
Liu Hong persisted. Since Feng Zhiheng was unwilling, he wrote a letter to Feng Zhiheng's maternal grandfather, the Zhou family, and waited at the Bai family for the Zhou family to pick him up.
Liu Hong suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Fuyuan, "Xiao Yuanbao, you were in the temple yesterday. Do you know how those kidnappers died?"
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, the faces of Bai Banban and others darkened. This Mr. Liu really didn't like to pick up any of the pots. How could such a little girl be brought to court for interrogation on the spot?
"Mr. Liu, my daughter is young and may not remember..." Madam Zhen stopped her.
It’s not that Mrs. Zhen is uncooperative, but her daughter has just been abducted, and she is afraid that her child will fall into terrible memories.
And she believed that even if Xiao Fuyuan didn't provide information, the family opposite would be able to take care of it.
Xiao Fu rolled his round eyes and said as if nothing was wrong: "A thin man was hit by a steamed bun and died, a bearded man fell into a latrine, a scarred man on his face was frightened by a toad, and the crazy scholar was bitten by a snake. …”
Liu Hong: "..."
Such a strange way to die.
Yesterday, a fire broke out in the temple and burned down the temple building. Three charred bodies were found in the house.
In the huts in the yard that were not burned by the fire, one of them was lying down.
One man's body was covered with yellow and white stuff, and another man had a knife stuck in his chest and his body was covered with toads.
What a coincidence, everyone died.
The abducted child alone may not be able to do this.
Yesterday, he asked the abducted children if they knew what happened in the temple. The children were frightened and shook their heads.
Chunya, the only sober person in Xiashan Village, said that Xiao Fuyuan knew and that those people died in front of Xiao Fuyuan.
Although he didn't believe it, he still asked Xiao Fuyuan.
"How many people died in total?" Liu Hong asked.
"There are five of them in total. I don't know how many died." Xiao Fuyuan frowned and said, "I know the crazy scholar who was bitten by the snake. He was their head."
Liu Hong nodded.
There were five bodies in total.
It has been reported to the prefect, I am afraid this matter is not simple.
It's under the guise of being a kidnapper...
Liu Hong broke into a cold sweat when he thought about the private mining of iron ore and private forging of weapons in his territory.
I originally thought that destroying the secret tunnel and discovering the mine would help further my career.
There may be a bigger black hand behind this.
And the power is not small.
