When the Niu family's wife saw her son tied up with a rope and heard the officer's words, her expression suddenly changed and she was about to step forward, but Zhao Luoyang reached out to hold him back.
"Don't worry, Auntie," Zhao Luoyang said, "don't you see that Zhang Dianli is talking to someone from the government office? If you go up rashly, it will be a bad thing if you are accused of it."
Zhao Luoyang looked at the Niu family. The two boys from the Shi family were not very calm. If the aunt from the Niu family went up, the guards would definitely stop her. The boys from the Niu family would definitely struggle when they saw that their mother had suffered a loss.
This struggle may lead to one more crime.
The Niu family, mother and son, looked at each other. Niu Zisheng's eyes moved and he wanted to say something, but was immediately scolded by the guard.
"Stand still." The officer said as he reached out and stroked the whip in his hand.
The Niu family's daughter-in-law clenched her hands and went to look for Zhang Dianli in a panic.
Zhang Dianli, Zhao Xueli and others were talking to a man in official uniform.
Shi Jiu's voice came from Zhao Luoyang's mind.
"It should be a Hu Cao."
It seems normal for the government office to mobilize household officials to handle the eviction matter, but even this cannot easily convict people.
While Zhao Luoyang was thinking about it, the Cao from the household strode over to the boys of the Shi family and the Niu family. He looked the two boys up and down with his eyes.
Then he didn't talk to them, but turned to ask Zhang Dianli: "Can the Dianli guarantee that it was not these two people who stole the food yesterday?"
"Yes," Zhang Dianli said, looking at Zhao Luoyang and the others, "I have been following these sixteen households. There will be no mistakes. These two people explored the road in advance, so they can go faster than us."
Hu Cao followed Zhang Dianli's gaze and looked at Zhao Luoyang and others. He saw that this group of people seemed better than the scattered relocation people. At least they were pulling a few donkey carts. It looked like the donkey carts should have rations.
.
Hu Cao looked at it and suddenly ordered the officer: "Let everyone open the baggage and search them."
The guards responded and walked towards the crowd one after another.
Zhang Dianli couldn't help but frown, but he quickly nodded to Zhao Xueli.
Letting them investigate is the fastest way to get out right now.
Zhao Luoyang stepped forward to help her out of the donkey cart, and then went to help Mr. Song.
Everyone stood up neatly, and then placed all the heavy baggage they were carrying on the car.
The servant began to look through it.
Most of the baggage contained old clothes, shoes, and some hard dry food. The guard threw the things on the ground in disgust, and then looked at what was being pulled on the cart.
There is straw and coarse grains for livestock to eat.
The officer knocked over the wooden bucket and spilled some grain. Seeing this, Mrs. Yang almost stepped forward to fight for her life. That was everyone's food, but these people were so messy.
The relocated people began to feel indignant. How could they pick up those beans and millet when they fell on the ground?
Feeling everyone's gaze, the guard glared over fiercely and threw the bundle in his hand to the ground.
Mr. Song didn't say a word, as if he couldn't see it, but Zhao Luoyang could feel that Mr. Song was a little nervous. Was he nervous about the things in the carriage, or about things on his body?
Zhao Luoyang had guessed early on that Mr. Song was hiding something on his body, otherwise he would not have "accidentally" exposed his tattered clothes under his bright robe, making people mistakenly think that he was deliberately pretending to be wealthy.
In fact, Mr. Song really still had some money, otherwise she would not have sold the eggs to Mr. Song in the first place.
"Whose books are these?"
The officer turned over the book box on Mr. Song's carriage. Zhao Luoyang stepped forward and said, "Mine," before Song Er could say anything.
She had read all those books, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Hu Cao looked at Zhao Luoyang.
Zhao Luoyang said: "My grandfather was a scholar and a teacher in the village. The book was left behind by my grandfather."
Hu Cao looked at Mr. Song, and Zhao Luoyang said: "That's not my grandfather. My grandfather is gone."
Hu Cao walked over to read the books in the box, while the officer took the baggage of several members of the Zhao family and checked it. He also checked Zhao Xueli, Zhao Xuejing and Zhao Xueyi to make sure they had nothing on them.
Zhao Luoyang had expected this for a long time. Books are expensive, and scholars are different from ordinary people. If anyone who is studying is found among the relocated people, he will definitely check carefully. All the valuable things on her are in the space, including her father and uncles.
They didn't bring much money with them. As for the dozens of coins, the cadres could only take some of them and didn't dare to pay too much.
In this way, Mr. Song's side was covered up.
Hu Cao ignored the Zhao family, wiped the dust from his official boots on the baggage on the ground, and said to Zhang Dianli: "You people bring a lot of money and rations."
Zhang Dianli was dissatisfied with this household, but he had to bow his head. If they were allowed to take the two boys away, where would he go to ask for them?
Zhang Dianli said: "These relocated people helped the government office catch the bandits, and the government office gave them rewards." He had said this early in the morning, but Hu Cao obviously didn't take it seriously.
Hu Cao thought for a while: "Since Mr. Zhang is the guarantee, I will let these two people go, but if it is discovered in the future that some of these people are stealing food..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Hu Cao," Zhang Dianli said, "It's really true. Zhang will bear all the sins."
Hu Cao suddenly smiled: "Will Zhang Dianli return to his old government office when he comes here?"
Zhang Dianli was about to go back, but after hearing these words, he still said: "The county magistrate of this government has mentioned to me that the Taozhou government office is short of manpower. If I am willing, I can apply to the government office for transfer."
If Zhang Dianli stays in Taozhou, they may meet again in the future, and if Zhang Dianli is always here, if something goes wrong in this matter, they can come to their door at any time.
Hu Cao was thinking when he heard a woman's voice.
"Mr. Song, what are you doing?"
Hu Cao looked up and saw the officer standing in front of an old man and a young man. The three of them seemed to be having some dispute.
This sentence made all the guards look at the three people.
Several police officers who were supposed to check the pedestrians waved their hands to let the pedestrians go away, and turned around and came this way.
"Sir," Zhao Luoyang smiled and looked at the person in front of him, "This old man has a weird temper. We don't talk to him on weekdays. Don't be surprised."
While talking, Zhao Luoyang handed a cloth bag to the guard's hand.
The officer lowered his head and saw that a corner of the cloth bag was exposed. It looked like a ginseng root. No wonder he wanted to search the old man, but the old man wanted to avoid it.
"you……"
Mr. Song stared at Zhao Luoyang with his eyes widened, then turned around and stretched out his hand to snatch it from the guard's hand.
The guard had already neatly put the things back into his arms.
"You..." Mr. Song stamped his feet. He didn't dare to scold the guard, but pointed at Zhao Luoyang, "You bastard... you gave my things to others... that was my life-saving thing, you
Give it back to me..."
Before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and staggered. Fortunately, Song Er stepped forward to hold him up.
Seeing that the old man looked like he was about to die, the officer thought that the ginseng was his most precious thing, so he stopped pestering him, smiled at the colleague who came over, and walked aside.
[Charm value 2]
[Charm value 2]
Shi Jiu said: "I received 4 charm points from Mr. Song."
Zhao Luoyang felt a little relieved that he had obtained the charm value. One ginseng cost 290 yuan to buy, which was almost a lot in money...
Fortunately, Mr. Song gave her charm points. According to the system's algorithm, 4 charm points = 400 yuan.
Of course, this matter could not be known to Mr. Song. Zhao Luoyang whispered in the ear of the "fainting" Mr. Song to collect debts: "Sir, I sold Tan Zheng three ginseng sticks for twenty-six guan, which is nine guan per gin. You don't have to pay for it."
Give me that much, just five guans are enough, and the remaining four guans should be treated as filial piety, sir."
Mr. Song owed her five guans, and the guard owed her nine guans. She would definitely recover these nine guans. No one could take something from her in vain, such as that steward Tan.
When she finds Mr. Zhao in the future, she will definitely go to court to sue the officer.
Mr. Song was really having trouble breathing now: "Dreaming."
"Then next time," Zhao Luoyang said, "if we meet the guards again, no one will participate."
Mr. Song continued: "Unfilial disciple." However, this unfilial disciple was indeed very fast. When the officer came to search for him, the unfilial disciple immediately stepped forward and handed over the ginseng.
How could she part with such valuable ginseng?
This bastard probably guessed that he had money hidden on his person.
When did you guess it?
Zhao Luoyang was about to "help" Mr. Song to the carriage with everyone.
A system notification sounded in my mind.
[Character card charm value 4]
[Character card charm value 4]
…
Zhao Luoyang was surprised and immediately let go of Mr. Song, nearly staggering Mr. Song. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanrang took over.
Where does the charm value of character cards come from?
Zhao Luoyang was a little confused. What had she just done? She just gave a ginseng root to save Mr. Song's money. Could it be that the servant was related to the character card?
In his mind, Shi Jiu had already opened the charm value details and saw who provided the 8 points of charm value.
Charm value: Ding Rong 8
Who is Ding Rong? Since it is the charm value of the character card, it must be related to Zhao Jingyun. She has to find Ding Rong. Through him, she should be able to get the character card mission.
Zhao Luoyang couldn't help but call out, "Master Ding," before the officer left.
Whether it was a police officer or a household officer, they subconsciously looked at her with a blank expression on their faces.
There may not be anyone named Ding here.
So Ding Rong is not here.
Then when did she meet Ding Rong, and she helped him without knowing it, or made him angry.
Shi Jiu said: "While you were talking to the officer, other officers were questioning other passers-by. When there was noise from your side, the officer let those people go. Could Ding Rong be among them?"
"I... made a mistake," Zhao Luoyang said hurriedly, "I thought it was Mr. Ding I met in An County."
Hu Cao ignored Zhao Luoyang and said to Zhang Dianli: "Brother Zhang, don't blame me for the strictness of the investigation. It's just because a member of the family here was robbed of food. Just now, the female family member of the member's family felt..."
Zhang Dianli pointed at the boy from the Shi family: "That man is somewhat similar to a thief from that day."
Hu Cao said there was a thief, and Zhao Luoyang's mind suddenly...
So besides arresting people to be military households, Hu Cao and the others were indeed looking for someone.
Comparing the 8 points of charm that Ding Rong gave her, is it Ding Rong that Hu Cao is looking for?
