Chapter 45 Stealing Potatoes

Jingtuan tilted his head and thought for a long time, then took two steps back helplessly, and sat down on the ground, expressing that he wanted to be a useful bear.

"That's right, wait for me to come back and bring you delicious food." Su Tang comforted it by tugging at its ear, "I'll just go out for a few days, and I'll be back soon."

Immediately, the three of them slipped away on the bamboo raft, fearing that the shocking group would repent and catch up again.

Just out of the valley, you can see from a distance in the Yanyun River next to Yanyang City, there are six waterwheels slowly rotating, each of which is more than a dozen, 20 meters high, very eye-catching.

In the fields near Yanyang City, the potatoes are growing well. It has been more than two months since Su Tang left Yanyang City, and the potatoes will soon enter the harvest season.

At this time, Su Tang was very worried. Although he could see the growth of potatoes in the monitoring, he couldn't see clearly on the spot.

Especially when Su Tang looked at the wet land, he always had an ominous feeling.

Potatoes love water, so Su Tang specially built a convenient water truck to transport water to the fields, but there must be a limit, and now it is almost entering the harvest period, even if the seeds given by the system are resistant to pests and diseases, they will not be able to withstand them. Live this endless irrigation.

Su Tang went into the potato field to check. Sure enough, the leaves near the ground were rotten every now and then because of the humidity.

"It's not really a disease, is it?" Su Tang asked the system in his heart, slightly worried.

This is only the first year of planting, and it is not very good if the yield is reduced or even no harvest due to diseases.

"It's soft rot. The rot is caused by too much moisture in the land. If it is not managed, it will soon infect each other, and eventually the fruit below will rot together." The system replied.

Su Tang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "How can this disease be cured?"

"According to the current situation, it is in the early stage of the disease, and the whole plant has not rotted. Stop watering to dry the field, and sprinkle some lime to disinfect the field."

Only then did Su Tang heave a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and did not cause any loss.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Yingyue frowned and sighed as she watched Su Tang shuttle back and forth in the field.

"These potatoes are sick, and they need to be treated quickly." They came this time as Fufengzhai was going to do business in Yanyang City, and they didn't hide it much. Now they have to find a way to contact Lin Qing secretly, so that he can also go early Take the people to rescue them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Do you want to steal potatoes?" An aunt in her forties, seeing a stranger in her field, came running and cursing.

Since the potatoes in the field have grown, some curious people who have nothing to eat, anyway, come to steal potatoes, so they have to live in the field every day to watch.

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was so nervous, Su Tang could understand, and quickly explained, "I didn't come to steal potatoes. Your potatoes are sick, so you can't continue watering them."

"Nonsense, you need to water too much, and the potatoes will grow bigger every day. I think you just want to steal the potatoes, and you'll make excuses after I catch you." As she said that, Aunt Zhang wanted to catch Su Tang , but was held down by Wu Chong who was standing on the ground.

Aunt Zhang saw that she couldn't beat him, so she fell to the ground and pulled Wu Chong, "Everyone, come and see, I was caught stealing potatoes and beat someone up. These are potatoes given by the daughter of destiny. How can they be allowed to be petty thieves?" It was stolen."

Aunt Zhang even cried and shouted all the nearby people watching the ground.

Pointing at Su Tang one by one, they said, "Look at how such a pretty person can do such sneaky things."

"Since the news about our high yield of potatoes spread, many people have come to steal it, and it hasn't stopped for a day."

"Why is it so difficult to live a safe life?"

"Send it to the officer."

"."

Obviously she was helping their Tudou to see a doctor, but now she is being slandered as stealing Tudou. The woman in front of her is the Destiny’s Daughter they were talking about. Potatoes are sick, and these potatoes are sick.”

"What's the matter with being sick? Everyone is growing well. It's the first time I saw myself being caught stealing potatoes and made excuses for myself." Aunt Zhang immediately gave up.

Su Tang listened and stopped arguing with them, knowing that it was useless to say what he said now, but just said to Wu Chong, "Let her go, don't break the things on her body."

The two items that were auctioned off for money were on Wu Chong's body, and if they were broken during tugging, the gains would outweigh the losses.

The first thing Aunt Zhang got up was to pull Su Tang to meet the official, but Yingyue stood in front of her and pushed her to prevent her from touching Su Tang.

"I'll go with you to see the official, but this matter has nothing to do with him, let him go." Su Tang said while winking at Wu Chong.

"No, I think you are in the same group." Aunt Zhang was not happy.

"Say one more thing." Wu Chong took two steps forward with a tall and strong appearance, and Aunt Zhang shrank her head in fright.

She is alone now, and the people who watched the excitement saw that Wu Chong didn't seem like a bully, and she didn't dare to come forward to help. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Aunt Zhang had to compromise, pointing to Su Tang and Yingyue who were standing in the field, "Then , then you two must follow me to see the officer."

Su Tang walked in front and was followed by Aunt Zhang, staring at them for fear of escaping. After arriving at the mansion, Aunt Zhang explained the situation to the people inside, and the two were thrown into the prison directly.

"...Doesn't the case need to be tried?" This is different from what Su Tang imagined. She thought that when she was waiting for the trial, even if Lin Qing did not personally interrogate, she would still be able to meet the little official Wang Dong. She can justifiably hide in the yamen and tell them about the matter, and she won't be suspected because she is involved with people from the government.

He never expected that he would be thrown into prison immediately after he came in.

"What's the trial? Recently, so many potatoes have been stolen, and each time they steal a few trees, it's not too much. It's not a big deal that can't be convicted. They are locked up for a few days to suffer, and then they are released." The gatekeeper saw two The girl was born beautiful, with a good temperament, said a few words kindly, and still murmured in her heart that she is a good girl, it's okay to steal some potatoes.

Su Tang was very helpless, and found that he had miscalculated. He estimated that he would spend a few days in prison for nothing, and he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

"I want to see the prefect. I can also see Wang Dong. I didn't steal potatoes. I want to go out now." Su Tang made the last effort.

The yamen servant was noncommittal, and said casually, "Everyone who was imprisoned said that he did not steal potatoes."

"." Looking at the situation, Su Tang can only hope that Wu Chong can contact Lin Qing sooner to save himself.

The prison was dark, damp, and smelly. Yingyue tidied up for a long time before tidying up a clean place and came out. She waited until the sun set and came out again. When it was daylight, a sound of iron chains shaking woke the two of them up.
