Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Shen Yuan followed Mo Shi to a rather impressive courtyard in the east of Yanggu County and stopped. Mo Shi stepped forward and knocked on the gate.

"Who is it?" The one who came out to open the door was a heavily made-up woman in her twenties, dressed in silk and satin and covered in gold and silver jewelry, she looked like a nouveau riche.

Who do you think this person is? It was Song Zuorong's concubine in the capital, Du Juan, the kiln sister who ran away with Shen Zuorong's last fortune.

To say that Shen Yuan met her once, when he went back to the south of the capital to watch the ice lanterns, when Shen Yuan and Ji Xun went to Penglai Restaurant for dinner, they saw Shen Zuorong taking a woman into the casino, and that woman was Du Juan.

It's just that I didn't see her face at that time, and I didn't recognize her at all at the moment.

Du Juan didn't know Shen Yuan either, her expression sank when she saw Mo Shi standing outside.

"Yo? Are you here to find my husband? I'm sorry, my master isn't here." While talking, he looked at Shen Yuan with disdain.

Du Juan, who was dressed in men's clothing, naturally didn't recognize her. When she looked at Shen Yuan, her eyes lit up, and she sighed how could there be such a handsome man in this world, so good that even a woman like her would be jealous.

"Not at home? How could it be possible not to be at home every day? Every time I come back to find her, I always say this, get out of the way and let me in." Mo Shi was so angry that he wanted to rush in.

Du Juan hurriedly looked away from Shen Yu'an, and pushed Mo's out, "Why? Still want to break into the house by force? Is there any law?"

Mo said in grief and indignation, "Forcibly breaking into a private house? I bought this house for my daughter, and now I don't even have the qualifications to enter it?"
"Then there is no way, who told your daughter to be shameless and run away with a wild man?" Du Juan crossed her arms and sneered.

"Who said my daughter ran away with someone? She must have been killed by Huang Xiucai, a white-eyed wolf." Mo's body trembled with anger at these words.

The village cuckoo pushed Mo's hard again, and said viciously, "The county lord has been sentenced, and you still dare to talk nonsense to ruin my lord's reputation? Be careful, I will let someone smash your mouth."
Pushed by her, Mo staggered a few steps and almost fell, Shen Yuan quickly supported her behind her.

"Xiaolangtizi is shameless and ran away with others. You are a shameless old man who comes to harass my master every day. Get out." Du Juan slammed the door after he finished speaking.

Mo's eyes were so angry that he almost fainted.

"Ms. Mo, you go back first." Shen Yuan helped Mo Shi into the carriage, "Leave this matter to me to investigate slowly, by the way, don't reveal my identity.

After sending Mo's away, Shen Yu'an and Ying Ying came to the gate of Huang Xiucai's mansion again.

Only then did Shen Yuan take a serious look at the house. There were two stone lions on both sides of the gate, and the tall plaque read "Huang Xiucai's Mansion" in four gilt characters. What kind of person is this Huang Xiucai?

"Go and visit the surrounding area." Shen Yuan said to the shadow.

"Okay." Shadow nodded.

Soon, Shen Yuan and Ying Ying walked around the neighborhood and got a general understanding of the missing Miss Gao.

Everyone has a good impression of Ms. Gao, saying that she is well-educated, polite, quiet and delicate, not at all like the kind of flamboyant person who would elope with others.

Knowing Ms. Gao's character, she is almost certain that she will not elope with anyone, so there is only one possibility for her disappearance, being murdered.

The wife is missing and the husband is the first suspect, so we have to start with Huang Xiucai first.

But this Huang Xiucai avoided seeing him, and he couldn't even see him face to face, so he had to solve this problem first.

"Master, why don't you let me go over the wall and see if he's at home?" Shadow asked.

"No need." Shen Yuan shook his head, "This person~~ I want to investigate carefully."

It was almost evening when they left Huang Xiucai's mansion, the two first found an inn to stay, and then went to the lobby to have dinner.

At the moment of meal time, the lobby was quite lively, Shen Yuan and Ying Ying ordered a few dishes and ate slowly.

The diners at every table were talking about the world, and some people were talking about Lu Shishi's attempt to burn Shenjia Village at night and murder the King of the Night and Princess of the Night.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and complained for the Night King and Princess Night.

Shen Yuan listened for a while, then smiled with satisfaction.

In the middle of the meal, a few men at the next table were half drunk, and started talking in a daze.

"If you want to say who is the big winner in our Yanggu County, it must be Huang Xiucai. After being married for more than a year, the girl followed him and ran away, and all the huge family property fell into his hands."

"That's right, he is a refugee from other places, and now he has transformed himself into a grand master. Why isn't he a winner in life?"

A gentle man at the same table sneered disdainfully, "What kind of shit scholar, who knows how he got in, was right in Peony Building that day? He couldn't say a word, hehe~~
Someone also explained, "He is not rare, if I have money, I don't want to be a sour scholar, hahaha."

"Let's go to Peony Building." After eating, Shen Yuan greeted Shadow, and the two went to Peony Building.

Peony Building is a famous brothel in Yanggu. As soon as Shen Yuan and Ying Ying appeared at the gate, they were dragged in by two gorgeous girls.

The building is full of fragrance, silk and bamboo are pleasing to the ears, and several girls in cool clothes dance lightly on the stage.

It's also a coincidence that as soon as Shen Yu'an and Ying Ying came in, there was a dispute over there, and the mother of the brothel was trying to persuade her, saying Huang Xiucai.

Shen Yuan hurriedly sent away the girl who was pestering them, ordered a table of food and a pot of wine, and silently observed Huang Xiucai.

This Huang Xiucai is tall and burly, with a rough appearance and a height of more than 1.8 meters. When he quarrels with others, he looks fierce, not at all like a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

While arguing and arguing, Huang Xiucai punched another prostitute in the eye, and his eyeball exploded on the spot, bleeding profusely.

There was a sudden chaos in the building, and the mother of the brothel was terrified, so she was busy asking for a doctor, and at the same time, she also asked someone to report to the official.

Soon the doctor came and bandaged the injured whore-client's wound.

This whore-client was not an ordinary person, he was also rich and powerful, so he immediately called his servants to surround Huang Xiucai.

At this time, Lei County Magistrate of Yanggu County brought people in, tied up the injured client and his servants without saying a word, and escorted them out of the brothel.

"Is Mr. Huang okay?" County magistrate Lei looked very familiar with Huang Xiucai, and asked with concern, "Did they hurt you?"

"Of course it hurt me." Huang Xiucai raised his clenched hand. The back of his hand scratched the skin too hard when he hit someone just now, and it was bleeding. "Is there no county magistrate Lei? My hand was almost broken by him." I will definitely not let him go if I don’t accompany him for a couple of medical expenses, so I will sue him in the yamen.”

"The county magistrate is in charge of the people, and he was promoted overnight." The two walked away while talking.

Shen Yuan was also stunned by their operation after watching it.

Although that whore-client should not be a good person, and he is a dog bites a dog, but ~~ it is surprising that the magistrate of Lei County is so biased towards Huang Xiucai.

Shen Yuan wanted to check it out even more.
