Chapter 238: Zhang Kuo's Hate and Pain

From the time Zhao Shun was about to leave Lijiazhuang until now, in the range from Qinghe Town to Xiangyang Village, the officers and soldiers held portraits, and they did not know how many circles they had searched.

The county order of Qinghe Town sent officers and soldiers to bring all the young women in Qinghe Town, and even Qinglu Village's green buildings, taverns, teahouses, and even wine shops back to the county government for interrogation.

In the Qinglou identified by Zhao Shun, there was no figure of Du Mingcheng's daughter, and the old bustard and the turtle insisted that they had not seen the woman in the portrait three years ago.

So where is Du Mingcheng's daughter now?

No one can answer, but someone gives a possibility, that is, since Zhao Shun will seek refuge in Lijiazhuang, will Du Mingcheng's daughter be brought into Lijiazhuang by him back then?

As soon as this statement came out, it was quickly found out that Zhao Shun was only an official of the county government back then, and he was not able to match with Lijiazhuang, and now if it were not for Lin Hemiao's relationship, he would not have hid in Lijiazhuang.

The search for his beloved daughter was unsuccessful, and Du Mingcheng was attacked in Xiaoqing Village and was injured, even though the search for the person did not stop, Du Mingcheng moved out of the house that the county order placed for him, and there was no one for two consecutive days.

Du Mingcheng didn't see him for two days, so Zhang Kuo looked for two days.

On the third day, Zhang Kuo entered the county office and got a piece of news, saying that Du Mingcheng's daughter had a clue.

In the middle of the night yesterday, Du Mingcheng received a letter from a mysterious person, saying that his daughter was bought by a woman from Linjiang when Zhao Shun sold her into the Qinglou three years ago.

But this creed was enough to lift Du Mingcheng's spirits and move him.

Therefore, Du Mingcheng sent a message to the people, saying that he would leave for Linjiang this morning and continue to look for his daughter.

Such news made Zhang Kuo feel helpless and disappointed, and he asked the county order: "Will Lord Du report to the imperial court when he goes back and lead troops to encircle and suppress Lijiazhuang?" ”

The county order said: "Lord Du specially explained when he left, there is no need to be in a hurry to encircle and suppress Lijiazhuang, Lijiazhuang holds the Yongan iron ore in his hand, and holds the iron ore of the Great Zhou. ”

Seeing that Zhang Kuo was silent, the county commander sighed, "Zhang Kuo, you better come back and be your head catcher, even if you want to deal with Lijiazhuang, you have to work in Qinghe Town, so it is more convenient." What kind of street division is in Qinglu Village, and what kind of anger is gambling with the yamen? ”

Zhang Kuo clenched his fists tightly and said unceremoniously: "The only purpose for me to stay in the county government is to encircle and suppress Lijiazhuang. Now that Lord Du is gone, you don't have the courage to make such a decision, why should I stay in Qinghe Town? ”

He strode forward and walked outside the yamen, but he heard the county order stop him, "Zhang Kuo, you have to remember that you are a head catcher!" Some means, not available! ”

Zhang Kuo pursed his lips, a light mixed with pain and hatred flashed in his eyes, and he walked out without stopping.

……

……

On the third day of Hemai's stall, he saw Li Chang'an, who had been missing for several days.

Li Changan sat gracefully on the steps in front of the store, nibbling on a duck leg.

"Stinky boy, you still know how to show up, where did you go?" When He Mai saw Li Changan, he was angry, and walked over to twist Li Changan's ears with the donkey cart.

Li Changan screamed, "Why did you beat me as soon as we met?" ”

"Why didn't I hit you!" He Mai glared at him angrily, "Say, where have you been these days?" ”

Li Changan shook off Hemai's hand, hissed and said very aggrievedly: "Where have I been, of course I am in Lijiazhuang!" ”

"Who told you to go back to that place?" He Mai glared at him and asked.

Li Changan rolled his eyes, "The place where I live now is still from Lijiazhuang!" How could I not go back! When I earn enough money and have a place to eat and a place to live, I will naturally not go back, and now, I can't leave that place! ”

Seeing that He Mai still looked angry, he simply flattened his mouth and said, "Lijiazhuang has been watched by the government for the past few days, don't you know?" Who knew that the person who came to ask for the portrait that day was a big official? I knew I wouldn't have come out that day! I've been scared every day for a while, for fear that our boss will pull me out, saying that all this is because of me! ”

Listening to Li Changan's explanation, the anger in Hemai's heart dissipated a little. In the final analysis, she still regards Li Changan as her younger brother, and she thinks about him in her heart, and she hasn't seen Li Changan for many days, and she hasn't seen Li Changan bring a message, so she is a little angry in her heart.

She pursed her lips, took a closer look at Li Changan's cheek, and asked, "You haven't eaten well these days, have you?" I see you've lost a lot of weight. ”

"It's okay," Li Changan grinned at He Mai carefully as someone touched a kitten, "I'll go fetch water, let's clean up the table?" ”

"Go ahead, I'll fry the buns, and the three of us will have breakfast first." He Mai said.

Li Changan was stunned, glanced at Liulang who came from the livestock shed in the distance, and responded with a strange expression, and then went to the street division on the opposite side with the bucket.

When Liulang was there, Li Changan was much more restrained, not as wanton as he was chatting with Hemai during meals on weekdays.

When Liulang finished eating and went to Tian Dacheng to buy some stones from the construction site, Li Changan walked over leisurely, looked at the wheat that was busy frying buns, and asked, "Where did Brother Yang go?" ”

"I went to the town and bought some stones for the construction site." He Mai glanced at Li Changan, "What's wrong?" ”

"Not much...... Li Changan seemed to have some scruples, and refused to say the words in one go, but walked around beside Hemai.

"If you have something to say, turn around next to me, my eyes will be glazed!" He Mai put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Do you want to say anything to me?" ”

Li Changan hesitated before asking He Mai: "Brother Yang is at home for a while?" ”

"Of course at home," He Mai nodded, "You spent the whole day at home with me yesterday, what are you going to say?" ”

Li Changan glanced left and right, and leaned in front of He Mai, "Then let me ask you, what did he do when he was at home with you the day before?" ”

"The day before?" He Mai raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering that it was Liulang who rescued Du Mingcheng from Li Ruchun's hands that day, and it was also the day he shot Li Ruchun with an arrow, so he paused for a while before answering, "That day, we went home from Xiaoshi to close the stall, and later heard that some officers and soldiers came to the village, but I don't know much about what happened." What's wrong? ”

Li Changan sighed, blinked, and said, "It's nothing." It's just that that morning, I saw Brother Yang come to Lijiazhuang, and went directly into Li's mansion, thinking that he should go to discuss something with the staff, but I don't know what he said. ”

"That day Rokuro went to the Li Mansion?" He Mai was surprised.

That morning, Liulang did leave after sending He Mai to Xiao City, but he didn't tell He Mai that he went to Lijiazhuang. Keliulang early in the morning, what to do in Lijiazhuang?
