Chapter 568: Sun Fugui ran away
The donation of books went very smoothly. In addition to books, everyone also spontaneously donated pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

"Tao Zhen, Tao Zhen."

Hearing this familiar voice, Tao Zhen knew who was coming, and she was very confused, why could she meet this little cutie everywhere?
She stopped and saw Fang Muchi.

Fang Mushi said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Tao Zhen: "Why should I tell you?"

Fang Muchi "..."

It seemed that Tao Zhen really didn't need to tell him. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "My second brother is looking for you."

Tao Zhen said, "Your second brother hasn't given up yet?"

"No!"

Fang Mushi was also speechless. He didn't know why his second brother had to cooperate with Tao Zhen in business, but it seemed that he could indeed make money by following Tao Zhen. The little money he invested before had now tripled.

"I also donated books." He took out a piece of paper, which was given to them by the academy. There were marks on the back of the donated books, and the corresponding points were written based on the value of each book.

Tao Zhen looked at the long book list: "You didn't just read all the books because you didn't want to read, did you?"

Fang Muchi felt guilty after being seen through.

Tao Zhen frowned, but before he could speak, Qi Xiaodong and Liu Yun ran over. Their two families were not as good as Fang Muchi, so they only donated one or two books.

"I heard that you built the school. You are so amazing." Qi Xiaodong looked at Tao Zhen and said, but his face turned red.

Liu Yun remained silent and nodded as a greeting.

Tao Zhen: "I paid for it."

"It's amazing." Qi Xiaodong said.

Tao Zhen chatted with them for a few words, and specifically warned them not to go to Fucheng to commit suicide if nothing happened, and several of them agreed.

When Fang Mushi returned home, he told his second brother about seeing Tao Zhen. Fang Mujiang was very excited and went to block Tao Zhen the next day, but Tao Zhen went out.

Mrs. Pei said, "Are you in a hurry with Ah Zhen? I'll tell her when you get back."

Fang Mujiang said his name, and Mrs. Pei immediately laughed when she heard that he was from the Fang family: "It turns out he is the young master of the Fang family."

She has a good relationship with Mrs. Fang. The two middle-aged women talk most about their children together.

"Madam knows me?"

"I heard your mother talk about you."

Fang Mujiang was very good at dealing with people. Mrs. Pei was very happy after saying a few words. At this moment, a man ran in from outside and stared at Fang Mujiang warily.

"Ah Huan, this is a guest, you can't be rude." Mrs. Pei said.

The fool still looked at Fang Mujiang displeased. Fang Mujiang also saw that this man was not in his right mind. He stared at the fool's face and felt that this face was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but for a moment he also thought Can't get up.

"Madam, who is this?" Fang Mujiang asked curiously.

When Mrs. Pei told the origin of the fool, Fang Mujiang also sighed for a while. The fool was so good-looking, no wonder he was sold as a son-in-law, but it was better to be beaten than to be bought by dignitaries as a concubine or sold to places like Nanfeng Pavilion. .

Mrs. Pei lamented: "He is also a poor child. I don't know if his family is still there."

Fang Mujiang nodded thoughtfully.

...

Huo Xing led people to check the quarry and the exile village overnight, and found that a man named Sun Fugui was missing, just one day after Huo Xing fell ill and left.

"Sun Fugui is from a good family. He said he has found a long-lost relative. If that relative wants to pick him up, we can't stop him." said an official from the Inspection Department.

Sun Fugui was in charge of purchasing at the quarry. It wasn't him before, but he was replaced after Huo Xing's reform. If the mistake is correct, he was the one who poisoned the food. He was the one who put the food in the quarry from the beginning. Those insect eggs also have a survival rate. Some people eat them and some people are fine. After everyone eats them, they start to put medicinal materials in the well water to feed the insects.

Huo Xing suddenly fell ill. When he knew what had happened, he ran away early.

The medicinal materials in the well water were diluted and lost their effectiveness, and no new medicine was added, so the bugs in everyone's bodies ran rampant.

"Since the food was delivered to the quarry, how did those in the village who did not work in the quarry fall prey to the trap?" Tao Zhen asked.

Huo Xing said weakly: "The village was closed for a period of time. Some families had no food, so the quarry provided them with food. It should have been that time they were infected."

Sun Fugui has been working in the quarry for many years. If you think about it, anything is possible. Moreover, people in the exile village have the habit of drinking raw water without boiling it. Many people eat without washing it. It is not surprising that something like this happened. .

"Is there any news about Sun Fugui?" Pei Zhan asked.

Huo Xing looked at the flowing clouds.

Liu Yun said: "This kid has been running away for several days. If there is someone outside to help him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."

Tao Zhen said: "Everything must have a reason. Since the person behind Sun Fugui wants to do this, there must be a purpose. Wait, maybe this person will jump out."

Huo Xing nodded. He didn't have much energy yet. He was relatively good. Like the few people who died in the quarry, their lives were not so good.

It was already afternoon when Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan came out. The setting sun was hanging in the sky and the clouds were dyed red.

Tao Zhen frowned. He had seen the sky over the Exile Village and the setting sun countless times, but when he looked at it again today, he always felt that something was a bit unlucky.

The hut they used to live in was turned back because no one lived in it. Now the outside is locked and no new prisoners have come to live in it.

Unoccupied houses deteriorate very quickly, but the Pei family's house looks fine. The Hu family's house next door was built later than them, but it looks even more dilapidated.

Mrs. Hu was coming out of the house. As soon as she walked out, she met Tao Zhen's eyes. Mrs. Hu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went home, closing the door heavily.

"What are you looking at?" Pei Zhan asked in her ear.

Tao Zhen felt a little itchy by the breath of Pei Zhan's words. Tao Zhen touched his neck and said, "Mrs. Hu."

Pei Zhan glanced at Hu's house, but saw no one.

"What's up with her?"

"You went in when you saw me." Tao Zhen said, "It's nothing. Maybe I'm overly concerned."

According to her understanding of Mrs. Hu, when this person saw her, it would be good if he didn't spit and glare at her, and then turned around and left. This was not in line with her style.

Pei Zhan listened to her analysis and shook his head in amusement.

"She's not a mad dog. Why did she bite you when she had nothing to do?" Pei Zhan asked.

Tao Zhen glanced at him: "You don't believe me, do you? Let me tell you, if you go over and beat her up now, and I stand by and watch, the person she hates will definitely be me."

"Why do you think so?"

Tao Zhen said: "Let me give you an example. A man forced a maid to follow him. Do you think it was the man's fault or the maid's fault?"

Pei Zhan said: "Of course it's the man's fault."

Tao Zhen said: "If the man's wife knew about this, whose fault would she think it was?"

Pei Zhan frowned. If the lady found out, she would definitely blame the maid for seducing the man.Even if she knew that the maid was innocent, she would still hate the maid instead of blaming the man.
