Town Yamen.

After Jiang Dafu and Xiong Wu reported the matter to the town office, Xia Geng quickly arranged for Wu Hu to take people to Shihe Village to move the old woman's body back to the town office, and posted a portrait on the town street and wrote a notice .

Three days later, Jiang Dafu drove an ox cart to the county seat to deliver goods to Four Seasons Restaurant and Lu's Shop.

Recently, green peas, a new vegetable, are known to be sold by everyone. Even the wealthy households in Qingshan Prefecture sent people to Xin County one after another.

Those wealthy households, in order to gain an extra catty, even sent their children to fight for it.

Jiang Dafu was both happy and regretful about this. It was not the first time he had this feeling.

After delivering the goods from Lu's shop, Jiang Dafu left the shop without stopping, and rushed to the Four Seasons Restaurant with the goods.

At the entrance of Four Seasons Restaurant, Zhang Shusheng saw Jiang Dafu coming, and immediately summoned the guys from the restaurant to help unload all the goods into the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, there are a lot more people in this restaurant today." Jiang Dafu was panting like a cow, standing in the lobby, listening to the voice from outside, his heart was shaking with excitement.

Zhang Shusheng laughed and talked to Yourong.

"That's right, this green pea is more addictive than the pea tip!"

"Unfortunately, after a while, the pea sprouts will turn yellow. If you want to eat them, you have to wait until next year."

Jiang Dafu pursed his lips, showing reluctance.

Zhang Shusheng naturally knew this. Although Jiang Dafu's green peas turned yellow and vaccinated, he was reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

"Dafu, you should be lucky. Listen, people outside are very envious of us."

Zhang Shusheng pointed to the outside of the restaurant, the behavior of the group of people was calm.

Jiang Dafu looked in the direction of shopkeeper Zhang's finger, and saw a cloud of diners outside the restaurant, full of voices.

Thinking about what shopkeeper Zhang said, Jiang Dafu nodded heavily and said, "What shopkeeper Zhang said is true, I should be happy."

Jiang Dafu drank his saliva at the Four Seasons Restaurant, then came out from behind the restaurant, and drove the ox cart slowly down the county street.

Li Qiang, the treasurer of Zuixianju, stood not far away, staring at Jiang Dafu, who was unsmiling in the bullock cart, for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He recognized this man.

When Jiang Dafu's bullock cart slowly approached, Li Qiang touched the bag in his sleeve, straightened his back and smiled to meet him.

"Little brother, are you rushing back to the village so early?" Li Qiang stood in front of the bullock cart, looking at Jiang Dafu, with a leisurely tone.

Jiang Dafu frowned and looked at the person in front of the bullock cart, his expression cold and silent.

It took a long time before Jiang Dafu spoke in a calm voice.

"Shopkeeper Li, you are here because of Qing Pea."

"Little brother is a straightforward person." With a smile on the corner of Li Qiang's mouth, he took a few steps forward, "When I went to your village earlier, I mentioned the green pea, but the little girl denied it at the time. , I don’t know if my little brother still remembers?”

When Jiang Dafu heard the words, a coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Shopkeeper Li, I remember that we didn't say that at the beginning."

Jiang Dafu paused, feeling a little angry.

"We didn't know at the time whether the pea seeds could be eaten, what I told you was just the truth.

What's more, whether we are willing to cooperate with Zuixianju is our business. Why is it that you are talking about it now, shopkeeper Li, as if we have to cooperate with you? "

Li Qiang was taken aback, he didn't expect Jiang Dafu to be so direct and merciless.

He cursed secretly in his heart, but his expression was calm.

"Little brother, Li made a slip of the tongue." Li Qiang cupped his hands towards Jiang Dafu and apologized.

Jiang Dafu didn't take it seriously, he hummed and said leisurely.

"Shopkeeper Li, we have to rush back, so please move back."

Seeing that he refused to talk more, Li Qiang secretly gritted his teeth, looked up at the two men with dark faces on the bullock cart, and reluctantly raised his legs and walked aside.

Jiang Dafu saw the person back away, looked away from him, and drove the bullock cart straight out of the city.

Li Qiang looked at the figures of the two leaving, and his anger could not be dispelled. Looking at Zhao Er who was looking for him in front, he was even more angry.

"Zhao Er."

Li Qiang's dull voice sounded, and Zhao Er, who was not far away, stopped and looked up at the shopkeeper Li, feeling timid.

"Treasurer Li." Zhao Er spoke weakly.

"Where's your man? It's been a few days, why haven't you heard from him?" Li Qiang looked at Zhao Er.

Zhao Er lowered his head, panicking in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Li, I don't know what's going on, maybe it's too far away, and I haven't rushed back yet."

"It's too far away? It's less than half a day's journey by carriage. Why, the person you mentioned, could it be that there is no such thing at all?"

"No, the little one is absolutely true to make people follow, the little one is not lying!"

Zhao Er thought that Li Qiang didn't trust him, so he sent someone else to go there, so he knew how long it would take to get there.

It's just, half a day's carriage time, how come his mother hasn't come back, it's been almost four days, could it be that my mother lost her?

The more Zhao Er thought about it, the more worried he became. Looking at Shopkeeper Li, he spoke anxiously.

"Shopkeeper Li, my little one will take a leave of absence tomorrow. My little one, I have something to do at home, so I need to go back and have a look."

Seeing Zhao Er's face suddenly changed, Li Qiang couldn't help being curious.

It was fine just now, but after a while, the man was sweating profusely, as if his soul had been robbed.

"what happened?"

"Shopkeeper Li, my mother went with her that day. It's been four days. I always thought it was too far away, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Just now, the shopkeeper said that it only takes half a day to come back from that place. Then my mother, Could something happen to her?"

Zhao Er told the truth, and his heart became even more nervous and frightened.

If something happened to his mother, what would he do?
All the money in the house is in his mother's hands, and he only has twenty coins on him, which was rewarded by diners a few days ago.

When Zhao Er thought of this, his eyes turned red. He wasn't afraid that he would lose his mother, but he was afraid that he would lose money.

Li Qiang saw that his eyes were red with anxiety, and his heart moved.

This matter has something to do with him, these days it is not easy to do business in Drunken Immortal Residence, so it is not impossible to give him two days off to find his mother.

"Then I'll give you two days, go and come back quickly."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Li, I'll look for it now." Zhao Er bowed gratefully.

Li Qiang waved his hand, signaling him to find his mother quickly, Zhao Er nodded and turned around, handed over the work of the restaurant to other staff, and hurried back to the house.

After Zhao Er returned to the house, he didn't see his mother, so he hurried into his mother's house and searched the house several times.

"No, I don't even have half a penny, mother, she won't bring any money, so she ran away by herself!?"

Zhao Er fell down on the ground dejectedly, looking at the messy clothes in the room, he lost all energy.

After a long time, he got up from the ground, went out of the house in a daze, went to shopkeeper Li, and asked him to tell him where the village was.

Seeing that he seemed to have lost his soul, Li Qiang guessed in his heart that Zhao Er was his mother, and reckoned that it was more than auspicious.

It's just that it's hard to judge what happened to his mother.

Maybe she lost her way or was robbed of her wealth, after all, his mother always wears some eye-catching gold and silver jewelry on her body, or she accidentally slipped her foot.

Li Qiang shook his head secretly in his heart, but he didn't say that. He just gave Zhao Er the name and approximate location of the village, then turned around and went back to the house to rest.

Zhao Er looked at the direction of shopkeeper Li's fingers, squeezed the money bag in his hand, gritted his teeth, and walked away.
