During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 54 Stealing Things

Officer Huang also caught up at this time.

Seeing that she was about to be caught, Jiang Miaoxin raised her throat and had an idea, "Someone is stealing something!"

Officer Huang: "..."

Just as he was looking around for the thief, the alarm rang, and the security guard who came over stopped Officer Huang, "Have you paid for the tissue in your hand?"

Officer Huang hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Miao had already taken this opportunity to run away.

Officer Huang angrily bumped his fist into his palm, almost catching her, just a little bit.

When questioned by the supermarket security guard, Officer Huang took out his police card and thought that the matter was over. However, after the security guard saw the police card, he still called the police.

While waiting for the police station, they took him back to the police station. Everyone in the police station knew that Huang was caught stealing a pack of tissues in the supermarket.

This made Lao Huang lose his face and vowed to catch the culprit.

On the other side, Jiang Miao, who was temporarily out of trouble, bought two bags of rice, bought bread and cakes from the cake shop lady, and made a reservation for tomorrow. After doing this, she returned home exhausted.

Luo Tingye was the first to notice something unusual about her, "Did you get into a fight?"

Jiang Miao put the things on the table and breathed a sigh of relief, but found that her eldest brother was not there, "Where is my eldest brother?"

"The county government announced the time of service. Your eldest brother is one of the few scholars in the village. He was called away by the village chief to discuss countermeasures."

Speaking of serving, Luo Tingye felt a little strange. Why should the river be changed when it was so good?
It not only consumes manpower and material resources, but also has no effect on preventing floods in farmland irrigation. The imperial court is unlikely to do such a thankless thing.

With Dujiangyan, Yuzhou has had good weather for hundreds of years, so there is no need to change the river course.

Jiang Miao sighed, "I was followed and I met Officer Huang again. I was afraid that he would find out that I didn't have an ID card and ran away."

Luo Tingye looked her up and down, "It's over, now you must have been targeted by Officer Huang."

Jiang Miao thought he was gloating and punched him, "Are you happy that I was targeted?"

Luo Tingye was not angry even after being beaten. Instead, he poured her a glass of water, "But you don't have to worry too much. Officer Huang won't just stare at you when you have nothing to do. Next time, be smart and find another place to trade." That’s it.”

After many trips back and forth, Luo Tingye summed up an experience. The location of the teleportation can actually be changed according to Jiang Miao's wishes. As long as it is within the scope of the mysterious town, Jiang Miao can arrive at will.

Jiang Miao thought the same way, "It seems like we really need to trade somewhere else tomorrow."

At this point, she became even more worried, "Actually, I'm not afraid of Officer Huang. Although Officer Huang looks a bit fierce, I actually know that he is a good person. I am a little worried about Mrs. Fang's people. Why do you think they are following me!" "

She obviously didn't do anything, so why did the good-natured Mrs. Fang follow her?

You can't follow her for thousands of dollars, right? Will Mrs. Fang's family value her money?

Luo Tingye guessed the Fang family's plan at once, "Maybe it's because the wild vegetables you brought there are so good, and the Fang family values ​​the profits from this area and wants to win it in one fell swoop."

"Are wild vegetables valuable? Is it worth what they do?" Jiang Miao was puzzled.Luo Tingye smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "Don't underestimate these people. There is a very important reason why they are rich. They will not let go of any business opportunities. The Fang family has sent people to follow you. , maybe it’s for money, or maybe it’s because I’m afraid that you have ulterior motives, but in short, I just don’t feel at ease.”

This so-called uneasiness made Jiang Miao very uncomfortable.

She clenched her fists and thought angrily, since they were so worried, she might as well stop selling wild vegetables.

No, if we don’t sell wild vegetables anymore, what will happen to these people in the village?
Luo Tingye seemed to have read through her thoughts, "What the Fang family did was a villain's behavior. It's okay to not cooperate."

Jiang Miao nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it, she shook her head, "But if we don't cooperate with them, what will happen to the wild vegetables we harvest?"

"If you don't want to cooperate with the Fang family, you can also cooperate with others. I will write you an address and phone number tomorrow. Where can you find a person named Li Datong? After he sees your dishes, he will give you a suitable price. "

Jiang Miao was suddenly startled and asked, "You have never been to that place, how do you know who is there?"

Luo Tingye touched her head and said, "Silly girl, if I had never been to that place, how would I know these things? It's just that the way I went there was different from yours. I was in a dream."

Luo Tingye said the same thing before, but Jiang Miao never believed it, but now she believes it. Luo Tingye has really been there, otherwise how could he know so much?
Knowing how to deal with it, Jiang Miao felt much better. Seeing that her eldest brother hadn't come back yet, she simply hid the food and asked Luo Tingye to leave a message for him, and took him to Baimaguan Town.

After delivering the phlox rice and cakes and bread, Jiang Miao wanted to buy some vegetable seeds. "Didn't you say that the vegetables in that place have been drugged and unhealthy? I have also thought about it. I should not buy vegetables with the villagers." It’s such a waste, so I plan to grow my own vegetables.”

Luo Tingye's eyes were fixed on the notice board posted at the yamen entrance not far away.

Logically speaking, Baimaguan Town is not far from Yangliu Town. Since Yangliu Town has been sent to serve, Baimaguan Town should also be the same. Why is Baimaguan Town so peaceful?

Jiang Miao called several times but didn't hear any response. She got a little angry and asked, "Are you listening to me?"

She followed his gaze and found that he was staring closely at the county government office.

Strange, what is there to see?

"What are you looking at?"

Luo Tingye looked away and shook his head, "What didn't you see?"

Jiang Miao pouted her mouth unhappily, "Why don't you just say it if you don't want to say it? You're perfunctory with me, I'm not a child anymore."

Luo Tingye smiled helplessly, "What else can I do to perfunctory you? I'm just curious. Yangliu Town has already announced its service, so why is there no news at all in Baimaguan Town? Don't you find it strange?"

Jiang Miao said matter-of-factly: "What's so surprising about this? I remember that there were military services in Yangliu Town a few years ago, but not in Baimaguan Town. At that time, many people in the village envied the people of Baimaguan Town."

"Does anyone know why?"

"It seems to be because of the lottery. I vaguely heard from the villagers that the county magistrate said that there is no need for so many people to serve, and let each town draw lots to decide. As a result, we have been unlucky for a while. Our town is drawn every year, and Baimaguan Town is said to be I’m very lucky, I haven’t drawn them for several years.”

Luo Tingye felt more and more that there was something fishy inside.
