Chapter 156: Meticulous

The village chief of Taiping Village is an old man who has passed the age of ancient times, and the average life expectancy of people in ancient times was not too long, so Gu Xi was already considered a longevity in this era.

After the old man saw his yard slowly walking into the officials in official uniforms beside him, he also sighed helplessly

"It should come, it will come."

"The old man has seen a few adults." The old man was on crutches in one hand, ready to bend down and salute

"The old man doesn't have to be polite."

Although Ronan and the others were officials of the Tang Dynasty, after all, they were young and orderly, and it was impossible for them to really accept the old man's gift.

After Ronan helped the old man up, he also said to the old man with a pleasant face

"I and a few others came from Chang'an City because we have something to ask the old man, I hope the old man won't embarrass us." Ronan said

"A few adults are here for Seinfeld." After the old man glanced at Ronan and the others, he spoke slowly.

And after Ronan heard the old man's name say Seinfeld's name, he also nodded to the old man silently.

"The Song family's baby...... Alas, come with me. The old man pointed to the outside of the courtyard with a stick in his hand, and prepared to take Ronan and the others outside.

Ronan glanced at the officers and soldiers on the side at this time, and the officers and soldiers walked forward to help the old man

But the old man rejected Ronan's kindness

"Don't worry, my lord, this old bone is not so fragile."

With that, the old man led the group towards the village.

Fang Tang and Zhang Ran followed behind Ronan at this time and whispered

"What do you think?" Zhang Ran asked Fang Tang

Fang Tang glanced at the old man who walked in front of him. He said to Zhang Ran

"He probably already knows about Seinfeld." Regarding Fang Tang's words, Zhang Ran also responded with a nod

"But do you have any sense that this old man seems to know something else?" Fang Tang asked Zhang Ran rhetorically.

And Zhang Ran said to Fang Tang at this time

"This old man is indeed a bit strange, he has been too calm since the first time he saw us

He looked like he knew we were back. ”

"That's right, this old man is indeed a little strange." While the two were talking, the old man took Ronan and the others to the door of a dilapidated room.

"This is Seinfeld's home in Taiping Village." The old man said.

And after Fang Tang saw this room that was comparable to the Li family's brothers and sisters at the bottom of the medicine mountain, he frowned.

"How can an official of the Ministry of Rites live in a dilapidated place?"

Fang Tang was not the only one who was curious, Ronan and Zhang Ran also had this idea in their hearts at this time.

The door of this dilapidated room was not locked, and the old man gently pushed it with his hand, and everyone followed the old man in.

There is a small courtyard in the middle of the broken house, and there is also a small wooden horse in the courtyard that is quietly placed there at this time.

A small kitchen, and a not-so-large bedroom, that's all there is to this dilapidated room.

"I know you don't believe it, but the old man didn't lie to you, this is really where the Seinfeld family lives."

The old man turned his head and said to Ronan and the others at this time.

And Ronan also asked the old man at this time

"Old man, where is Seinfeld's family now?"

"Gone, moved away a month ago, no one knows where they went." The old man sighed.

After Ronan heard this, he also glanced at the old man suspiciously.

At this time, Fang Tang came to the kitchen alone, touched the stove with his hand, and Fang Tang found that there was not a lot of dust on the stove.

If this room really hasn't been inhabited for a month, the dust on the stove will never be so small.

"He didn't tell the truth." Fang Tang said in his heart.

Fang Tang walked out of the kitchen and went to another room, and after the old man saw Fang Tang enter, he was also ready to follow up, but at this time, Zhang Ran grabbed the old man with one hand

"Old man, I still have something to ask you."

……

"What did you find?" Ronan, who walked in from the courtyard, opened his mouth and asked, Fang Tang.

Fang Tang also said after touching a low tea table in the room with his hand at this time

"A little bit of a discovery, but not very useful."

Luo Nan was also silent when he heard this, and after he glanced at the old man who was talking to Zhang Ran at this time, he opened his mouth and asked Fang Tang.

"What do you think the old man just said...... How credible is it? Ronan asked Fang Tang

And Fang Tang said at this time after thinking about the old man's previous moves and his expression

"Less than fifty percent."

"Less than fifty percent?" Ronan muttered, and at this time, after Fang Tang saw that there was only one teapot on this tea table, he continued to speak

"Now it's eight!"

"Why is that?"

Ronan asked Fang Tang in confusion. Obviously, I just said that it was less than fifty percent, why did it change again in the blink of an eye?

"My lord, don't you think this tea table feels a little awkward?" Fang Tang pointed to the tea table and asked Ronan.

And when Ronan heard it, he also looked at the tea table carefully.

"Awkward? Awkward there? ……

Wait a minute...... What about teacups? ”

Ronan finally sensed what Fang Tang was talking about.

There is only a teapot on the tea table, no teacups!

If Seinfeld's family did move away, why didn't they bring a teapot with them?

Although the teapot is relatively large relative to the teacup area, judging from the dilapidation of this house, Seinfeld's family should take everything they can with them

But how could they forget to bring a teapot?

Even the smaller teacups are remembered, how can they not see the teapot?

Taking only the teacup and not the teapot only shows that Seinfeld's family is still in Taiping Village at this time.

Moreover, Fang Tang deduced that the people who took in Seinfeld's family must have no less than four people in his family.

"Why do you say that?"

Ronan was puzzled by Fang Tang's guess, could he deduce this just by a few teacups?

"My lord, there is usually a set of teapots and teacups sold on the market."

"A teapot with four teacups is enough for the average person."

"And Seinfeld's wife and his two children took all the teacups with them before leaving, which shows that the people who took in Seinfeld's family didn't have any extra teacups."

"As long as we send people to search Taiping Village, and the number of villagers with a family of at least four people, I believe we will definitely find something."

Fang Tang's set of inferences made Ronan on the side want to applaud!

With just a few teacups to deduce to such a point, could it be that Fang Tang really had talent in this area?

"If this is really the case, then this official has the cheekiness to ask Fang Tang from Yuan Shangshu's hands!"

Ronan has a love for talent, but this doesn't seem to be the time to care about that.

"I'll send someone back to Chang'an City to ask for more manpower."

Ronan said excitedly to Fang Tang, but at this time, Fang Tang's gaze kept looking behind Ronan.

Ronan turned his head at this time and saw that the old man and Zhang Ran didn't know when they walked in.

The old man was on crutches at this time, and came to Fang Tang's side step by step

"If the Song family baby had the intelligence of you, then he would not have fallen to the point where he is today." (To be continued.) )
