Gu Qingqiu asked his slave to bring the cousin in.

This kind of person is generally as careful as his hair.

When a young man came in with the slave, he was far away and knelt down on the ground.

"Get up and talk!"

Gu Qingqiu looked at the young man: "What happened to Shen Caishen's family recently? Tell us!"

The young domestic slave began to narrate.

After the only daughter died, some people in the back house were thinking of getting another concubine for Mr. Shen and giving birth to a son, while others wanted to celebrate her. In short, the family was short-lived and quite chaotic.

For this reason, there was also a son who offended Mr. Shen. After being beaten, he was kicked out of the house.

When Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu heard this, they immediately raised their eyebrows and looked at each other.

"Tell me about the birth of a child in this family!"

Gu Qingqiu made a request.

"It was just nonsense, talking about the death of the eldest lady, and Mr. Shen heard it."

The young domestic slave took the opportunity to show his loyalty: "A person like this who talks about his master's family behind his back should be beaten to death on the spot. He is just kicked out of the house. It is really easy for him!"

"Where did this family's children go?"

Hua Yueyu asked.

"Where else can we go? Let's go back to the countryside!"

The young domestic slave thought this beauty's question was childish.

"Which country?"

Xia Hongyao asked.

"I have no idea!"

The young domestic slave shook his head.

"Then you said he went back to the countryside?"

Xia Hongyao questioned.

"..."

The young domestic slave was depressed: "Where can I go if I don't go back to the countryside?"

As the saying goes, people are humbled when they leave their hometown. In ancient times, if there were no roads, you would be arrested by the government if you went out. Moreover, the public security in ancient times was not good. If a person left his hometown to seek a living, the probability of death was very high.

"You guys get out!"

After Gu Qingqiu asked these slaves to leave, he looked at the governor: "Sir, this afternoon, when you issued an order for the soldiers to prepare, you said that you would go out of the city tomorrow to search Shen Caishen's farms."

"Among them, the farm where the family gave birth to their children is a key target!"

"Are you trying to alert the snakes? Let them reveal themselves?"

Mr. Fu Yin was worried that Gu Qingqiu and the others would not be able to handle it: "The risk is too great. Soldiers need to be quick. Why don't I order my troops and horses now to raid that village!"

"What if no one is hiding in Zhuangzi?"

Lin Baici asked back.

"..."

Lord Fu Yin was speechless.

"Lord Fu Yin, I leave the matters here to you!"

Gu Qingqiu stood up: "Prepare some fast horses, we are going to that Zhuangzi now!"

"good!"

Master Fu Yin agreed, because this female stranger and the young man were calm and composed, and they looked like masters at first glance.

Worthy of the heavy responsibility entrusted to you.

"The wealth and life of a certain family can only be entrusted to you two!"

Lord Fu Yin stood up and bowed to Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu.

…

With the servants and locals arranged by Lord Fu Yin as guides, Lin Baici and his party arrived at the small village called Shenjia'ao in the afternoon.

Lin Bai resigned from being a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and entered the village. When he saw a young woman hoeing a vegetable garden in the yard, he politely handed her over.

"I went to Beijing to take the exam. When I passed by here, I was so hungry and thirsty that I asked for a bowl of water!"

As Lin Baici spoke, he took out a dozen copper coins and handed them over.

"You're welcome, sir. It's just a bowl of water. No money is needed."

The little woman lowered her head and saluted Lin Bai: "My lord, please wait a moment!"

After saying that, the little woman went back to the house and quickly came out with a bowl of water and even two pancakes in her hand.

"If you don't mind me, sir, you can give me some support."

The little woman did not let Lin Baici enter the courtyard. After all, in these days, men and women were on guard against each other.

"Thank you, little lady!"

Lin Baici put away the copper coins, exchanged them for one or two pieces of silver, and placed them by the fence.

When the little woman saw this scene, she had a good impression of the young man and became less wary.

Lin Baici took the opportunity to strike up a conversation, and before he knew it, he started asking about Zhuangzi's recent situation.

…

Outside the village, Xia Hongyao hid behind a tree and watched Lin Baici chatting with the little woman from a distance.

"Xiao Linzi is really a weapon for women!"

Xia Hongyao laughed loudly.

"Oppa is so handsome. When foreigners see him, they think he is a handsome guy. What's more, it would be strange for a little woman like this who has never traveled far since she was a child not to be stunned!"

Jin Yingzhen thought that she might as well stop alerting the enemy. As soon as Oppa came up with the handsome man trick, the woman would use all his tricks.

Lin Baici did not come back immediately. Instead, he had a meal at the little woman's house and walked around the village before he came back.

"How about it?"

Gu Qingqiu joked: "Is the farm food delicious?"

"It should be right here!"

Lin Baici ignored Gu Qingqiu's teasing: "The ancestral hall in the village has been under renovation recently, and many people have come. During this process, some women can be brought in quietly."

"Of course, the most important point is that the threshing floor is similar to the painting painted by Shen Caishen, so he must know that his daughter is hiding here!"

When everyone heard this, their spirits perked up.

"The question now is, where are those show girls hiding?"

Xia Hongyao is gearing up to dig up the village.

"Why don't we arrest the whole village and torture them?"

Jin Yingzhen likes things that are simple and rough.

"Catch that family's son, he must be sent by Shen Caishen to take charge of the overall situation."

Fishball Guy is not stupid.

It may seem like you are being kicked out of your home, but in fact, only in this way can you reduce other people's attention and suspicion.

"No rush!"

Lin Baici looked at the sky: "Waiting for the follow-up plan!"

Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao stayed behind to wait, while the others searched around the villages and towns.

In the evening, a fast horse rushed into the village and entered a farmhouse.

"Coming!"

This time, even Xia Hongyao knew that he had found the right one.

That was the home where the child was born.

About ten minutes later, the messenger left. When it got dark, the family went out, knocked on several houses, gathered seven or eight strong men, and left the village quietly.

…

Houshan Ancestral Hall.

cellar.

As soon as the family gave birth to a baby, they smelled a mixture of sweat and makeup.
