The old lady Wang pondered for a long time and said: "Okay, just let you help your third aunt manage the feed, it will inevitably make people say that I am biased, since she wants to go, you can take her with you, this child's temperament is more jumpy, you have to detain her well, don't let her get into trouble." ”

Liu Ke nodded and said, "Yes."

The old lady had a habit of taking a lunch break, and she did not stay in the Garden of Mercy for a long time, and withdrew after a short time.

Han stayed behind to serve the old lady for her lunch break, but Qiuping chased after her.

"Miss, when you go to the farm, let the slave know."

Liu Ke said with a smile: "Okay, this time I have to rely on Sister Qiuping a lot." As he spoke, he was going to give Autumn a parallel salute.

Qiuping hurriedly held it and said with a smile: "The eldest lady said that she was joking, the slave maid is just going to give you a look, and the eldest lady still has to make up her mind when it comes to serious matters." ”

Liu Ke smiled and said, "Then how about we leave tomorrow morning?" ”

"Good!" Qiu Ping responded heartily and went to wait for Han.

After Liu Ke left the Garden of Compassion, he walked towards Xiulan Courtyard.

These days, Willow? Every time I see Liu Ke, I speak coldly, although Liu? said nothing, but Liu Ke guessed that it was because of Shi Yan.

Shi Yan, the troublemaker, said that he was in order to protect Liu Ke's reputation when he saw people? Fighting, how not to make people careless.

Liu Ke knew such a thing, and the more he explained, the more troublesome it became, so he simply thought he was deaf and dumb.

I didn't hear it, and I didn't argue a word.

After Shi Yan returned to Beijing, people naturally gradually forgot about it.

Willow today? may be in a good mood, when Liu Ke walked into Xiulan Courtyard, she was collecting tea and plum blossoms with Su Jin.

Willow? Seeing Liu Ke Yingying coming, she put the small basket in her hand in Su Jin's hand, and said nonchalantly: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Good thing!" Liu Ke smiled: "I'm going to Liangyuanzhuang tomorrow, do you want to go together?" ”

Liu Ke didn't expect to be able to go to Liangyuan Village so soon.

Liu Ke saw that she was stunned and didn't speak, so he deliberately said: "It's okay if you don't want to go." ”

"Who said I wasn't going, when was tomorrow?" Willow? Although her face was still faint, Liu Ke noticed that the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, obviously looking forward to it.

Liu Ke saw it and said with a smile: "Leave tomorrow, don't be late, you are busy, then the tea plum is ready to send me some." With that, he walked out of Xiulan Courtyard.

"I haven't gone to Liangyuan Village yet, so I'm going to think about the thank-you gift." Willow? Muttered, but she didn't say no.

Before Liu Ke arrived at Xiuzhu Garden, he saw Liu Qing coming back in a hurry.

Before Liu Ke could open his mouth to ask, he replied: "Miss, the owner of Liangyuanzhuang should not be wrong, after the slave maid went to Liangyuanzhuang, according to what you said, she didn't go to the village, and went directly to the village's home, they all knew that Liangyuanzhuang's grain was robbed, and someone saw it in person." ”

After listening to Liu Qing's words, Liu Ke couldn't help but feel nervous.

As Han said, I haven't heard of bandits in Boling over the years, why is Liangyuanzhuang's grain robbed.

"Has Liangyuanzhuang reported to the official?" Liu Keyi asked with a frown.

"I reported it, but it seems that the government doesn't want to take care of it, so I sent a few people to see it and there was no follow-up." Liu Qing said.

Shi Yan's history just now? stinky beating, although it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but it was also beaten lightly.

Shi Chou only has this one son, isn't he distressed.

Although Liu Xu and Liu Ming came to mediate, it was difficult to guarantee that Shi Chou would not hold a grudge.

He is not good at embarrassing the Liu family clearly, and when he encounters such a thing, he just pretends not to know.

Liu Ke thought of this and stopped, "Let's go, let's go see Liu Da." ”

Liu Da was locked up in the back firewood room by the Han family, and his sad face did not diminish in the slightest after seeing Liu Ke.

Although he also respects Liu Ke, in his heart, Liu Ke is just a little girl, and it is impossible to solve the problem of Liangyuanzhuang.

At this time, Liu Ke stood outside the door of the back firewood room in a moon-white brocade narrow-sleeved gown, and as soon as the autumn wind passed, he looked more and more thin and weak.

Liu Da gave Liu Ke a big gift in the door: "Thank you for coming to visit Liu Da." ”

"There are a few words that I want to ask you, and you answer truthfully." Liu Ke had a faint expression on his face, but his tone was full of majesty.

Liu Da hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, even if the eldest lady asks, Liu Da must tell the truth." ”

"Has the grain production on the farm been reduced due to drought this year?"

Liu Da did not hesitate at all, shook his head and said: "No, this year's rain is a little less, but there are drought-proof wells on the farm, and the farmer's door is more difficult, but it has not affected the growth of grain." ”

After Liu Ke heard this, his brows tightened slightly.

There are drought-proof wells in Liangyuan Village, and there are naturally other villages in them.

In a year of great drought, the wells will not dry up, and the farmers will only need to carry water for irrigation.

In this way, the owners of other farms lied.

But if the grain on other farms is not reduced, where does that grain go?

Liu Ke took a deep breath, she thought of this, and realized that this matter was a matter of Liangyuanzhuang.

Seeing that Liu Ke only asked about something that had nothing to do with the robbery of grain, Liu Da was anxious and took the initiative to say: "Miss, our grain was robbed at two o'clock in the morning on the seventh day of the first month of August, we loaded the grain and were transporting it to the city, dozens of bandits rushed out from both sides of the road, injured our people and snatched the grain, we chased them far away, and saw them go towards the side of Baishi Mountain. ”

White Rock Mountain!

When Liu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, on Baishi Mountain is Dajue Temple, how is this possible.

And I've never heard of bandits on White Rock Mountain!

Liu Ke became more and more puzzled.

"Do robbers know martial arts?" Liu Ke asked.

After listening to Liu Ke's words, Liu Da thought for a while and said, "Some will, some won't, but there are many of them, and we are outnumbered." At this point he explained: "When I came, I brought the same people as when the old farmer was there, and listening to them, I had never encountered such a thing before. ”

Liangyuanzhuang is very close to Boling City, and it takes more than an hour from Zhuangshang to Boling, and no one will really expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Liu Ke thought for a while and said, "Before the grain was robbed, what unusual things happened to Zhuang Shang?" ”

Liu Da thought for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Two or three days before the grain was robbed, someone came to the village to collect grain at a high price, because I was not ready for this year's rent, so I ignored it. ”

"What does the person who comes to harvest grain look like, and do he have any characteristics?" Liu Ke asked.

Liu Da scratched his head and said: "It's just the appearance of a businessman, with a round face, a wide mouth, wearing a bronzed robe, he can speak well, nothing else, I didn't sell him food and he left." ”

Liu Ke nodded, not getting much information from Liu Da's mouth.

I thought about it a lot when I returned to Xiuzhuyuan, and I wanted to find out about this matter, and I was afraid that I would have to catch the thieves who had robbed the grain to find out completely.

Now the yamen clearly doesn't want to? Muddy waters, but with her as a boudoir woman, it is not easy to catch the thief.

"Liu Qing, send someone to Dajue Temple immediately to call my brother back, I have something to discuss with him." Liu Ke said to Liu Qing.

Although Liu Qing didn't know what Liu Ke was going to do, she heard that her tone was a little hurried, and she thought that it was a very important matter, so she hurriedly arranged it.

After much consideration, Liu Ke decided to take the plunge.
