Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 109: Avoid getting into trouble
Xu Liyun led Zhang Laoer straight to the wooden building without any hesitation.
In the darkness, guided by the vague yet clear memories in her mind, she accurately found the place where the secret was hidden.
The heavy hoe on my shoulder fell, and amid the flying dust, a package filled with moist earthy scent broke out of the ground, looking mysterious and tempting.
Under the bright moonlight, the gold, silver and jewels inside the package sparkled brightly. Among these treasures, a waist badge inlaid in the exquisite jewelry was particularly eye-catching. On it was engraved a word - "Wei".
At the same time, in the Chengguan County Magistrate's Mansion, the lights were on. Long Yi had a tired look on his face. He slammed the confession letter of Liu Bazi on the table, his brows filled with fatigue that was difficult to conceal.
"Report this matter to the court immediately. No matter what the result is, the court must know something or two. At this moment, we have no other choice but to pray to God to keep the young prince safe and sound."
The county magistrate standing by had a worried look on his face, feeling mixed emotions: "The young master's incident happened in our Chengguan County. If the capital investigates, how should we respond?"
Long Yi's tone was firm, and every word was powerful: "If there is really a punishment, I will bear it alone!"
He laughed at himself in his heart, thinking back to how he was exiled to this remote and impoverished Chengguan County because he was angry at the corruption in the court and gave frank advice, which angered the emperor. Compared with the intrigues in the capital, the hardships in this wilderness seemed nothing special.
The county magistrate looked at Long Yi's resolute back with mixed feelings.
Although he felt helpless about the decision of his new boss, his reason told him that this was the best option at the moment.
Delay will only make the situation worse. Once King Liang learns the truth, what awaits Long Yi will no longer be a minor charge of negligence, but anger and severe punishment that will shock Chengguan County.
The county magistrate frowned, a feeling of unwillingness surged in his chest, and he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh: "I thought that the function of fire pit transformation and education would make the emperor look at my Chengguan County with a new eye. It's a pity that a little Liu Bazi turned all his years of hard work into nothing!"
Knowing is difficult, but doing is easy. The county magistrate did not indulge in useless complaints. He immediately and secretly summoned his confidants. Under the dim candlelight, he whispered to them to secretly search for the whereabouts of the Prince of Liang and make sure to find that crucial ray of hope before the storm comes.
The order was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading to every corner of Chengguan County.
After receiving the news, beggars and members of small street gangs began to conduct secret searches in areas they were familiar with.
On the other hand, the treasures in Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer's hands did not bring the expected joy, especially the finely carved jade waist plate, which was obviously not something that belonged to mortals.
Xu Liyun frowned slightly, quickly considering various possibilities in her mind, and finally came to a conclusion.
It is very likely that this batch of valuables was lost by some powerful person when he was robbed. The robbers buried them here in a hurry because they were afraid of being hunted down by the government.
After understanding this, Xu Liyun reluctantly put down the package, with a bitter smile on her face: "It turns out that all the troubles were in vain. How can we ordinary people afford such precious things? If I had known earlier, I would have handed it over to County Magistrate Pei to deal with it, and perhaps I could have avoided this unnecessary trouble."
Zhang Laoer carefully examined each treasure, each of which was extraordinary. He pondered for a moment and made a suggestion: "Let's bury it again and pretend that nothing happened, so as to avoid getting into trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xu Liyun curled up a wry smile and skillfully covered the traces of the package with mud. The two then hurried away and walked quickly towards Zhangjia Village, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
As the night deepened, a figure moved silently through the woods like a phantom in the night. Each step was so light that it seemed not to touch the ground, leaving only faint marks on the fallen leaves.
This person was extremely familiar with the terrain of Heilongzhai and easily found the simple wooden house of the village owner Liu Bazi.
However, the wooden house was empty, forcing him to patrol around the village carefully. Finally, he found a piece of freshly turned soil in a hidden place behind the wooden house.
After digging, he found the package full of gold, silver and jewelry. The word "Wei" was clearly engraved on the jade plate. He watched coldly and took it away easily.
Holding the jade token in his hand, his eyes were as cold as ice, even chilling than the morning mist in the mountains.
……
Xiao Youniang's sweet dream was interrupted by Xiaobai's playful voice. Since the little tiger had grown familiar with the warmth of home, it had become more and more unscrupulous, especially towards Xiao Youniang, and would pester her to play and frolic all day long.
Almost every two or three days, Xiao You Niang would wake up to the sound of Xiao Bai's childish cries and start a new day.
This morning, as usual, it was the careful Zhang Laoer who combed Xiao Youniang's hair.
During this period, he learned a lot of hairstyling techniques for little girls from his niece Zhang Erniang, and was worried that he could not find an opportunity to show off his skills.
After breakfast, the brothers Zhang Sanwa and Zhang Siwa each borrowed some change from their father and planned to go to the town to buy red paper, fresh meat and various vegetables needed for the New Year.
Sanwa planned to write Spring Festival couplets by himself to earn some extra income; Siwa had already made an appointment with the villagers to make fragrant braised meat to sell.
Wu Niang had already made detailed and thoughtful arrangements with Xu Liyun in advance and told her that she would be away from home temporarily for some reason. After hearing this, Xu Liyun nodded in understanding without any hesitation.
But thinking about the two brothers Sanwa and Siwa embarking on the long journey to the county town alone, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Moreover, the family was still lacking supplies needed for the New Year. After some consideration, Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer decided to embark on this journey together.
At first, Xu Liyun wanted to take her little mother with her.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Youniang, who always liked to pester the adults to go out and play, unexpectedly refused this time. She said with a firm face that she wanted to find Zhou Xiucai to learn more knowledge so that she could better help her sister Zhang Erniang who was trying hard to learn to read.
Xiao Youniang's seriousness and perseverance make people love her.
Faced with their daughter's firm choice, Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer naturally did not want to go against her wishes, so they safely allowed Xiao Youniang to take her good friend Xiaobai to go to Zhou Xiucai's residence together.
Before leaving, the attentive Zhang Siwa was worried that his sister might be hungry at Zhou's house, so he specially prepared a large bowl of fragrant braised food and dozens of frozen dumplings with thin skin and thick fillings and sent them to Zhou's house.
Mr. Zhou looked at the Zhang family members leaving, then gently rubbed the pair of playful little buns on Xiao Youniang's head. Although he grumbled in dissatisfaction, his eyes were actually full of smiles: "Look at your parents' trusting expressions. Aren't they afraid that I will sell you, a clever girl, on a whim? You are so smart and cute, you will definitely be able to get a good price in the market."
