Chapter 99 99 Officers and Soldiers Search
"The county magistrate has an order to arrest the imperial criminal!" the leading officer said.

After saying that, he took out three pieces of paper and opened them.

"Have you seen these three people?!" asked.

Shen Shuangshuang looked frightened and looked away from the room where Shen made the panic sound.

Then he looked at the picture the leading officer and soldier took out in fear.

It seemed like there was a thorn in the picture. I didn't know if I could see it clearly, so I looked away.

"N-never seen it." Shen Shuangshuang looked pale and lowered his head.

"Take a closer look." The leading officer frowned.

Shen Shuangshuang plucked up the courage and looked up at the three pictures again.

Then he quickly looked away again.

"N-I haven't seen it." When he replied this time, he almost cried.

The leading officers and soldiers did not see the flaw, and seeing that they had frightened others, they finally did not continue.

At this moment, the voice of an officer and soldier came from the courtyard.

"Boss, there is a medicine jar here!" an officer said, and he also picked up the medicine jar used by the Shen family.

The eyes of the leading officer and soldier immediately became dangerous.

"You said you haven't seen anyone yet?!"

Shen Shuangshuang's face turned pale.

"No, sir, I - I really haven't seen them."

"That - that medicine jar is... for my mother to boil medicine."

"I-my mother injured her leg and has been taking medicine." Shen Shuangshuang stuttered so much that she almost burst into tears.

"Boss, the old woman did hurt her leg!" At this moment, a loud response came from an officer and soldier in Shen's house.

The leading officers and soldiers finally looked better again.

His eyes looked towards the workshop in Shen Shuangshuang's yard.

"Who are the people in your family?" Shen Sheng asked.

"Back to the official, my family, my family only consists of civilian women, their mother-in-law and son."

The leading officer and soldier frowned.

"Where's your man?" he asked again.

Shen Shuangshuang's body trembled.

"Prime Minister - Prime Minister has gone to the border to serve in the army."

After a pause, he added: "My father--my father-in-law died fighting at the border."

Hearing this, the leading officers and soldiers' expressions softened, thinking that this woman was so good-looking, but she actually had a miserable life.

"What are those in your yard for?" the leading officer asked again.

"Yes - it's the family's business."

"The woman invited two people to come to her home to make some tofu and sell it in the town."

The leading officers and soldiers were shocked.

Tofu, he knows.This kind of food is very famous in Shangyang Town recently.

I really didn’t expect that this little woman would actually supply the tofu in Zuixianlou.

After learning that Shen Shuangshuang was related to Zuixianlou, the leading officers and soldiers looked kinder.

He didn't ask any more questions and waited for his men to search for the results.

Not long after, the seven officers and soldiers who went in to search came back.

They all signaled to the leading officers and soldiers, but found no abnormality.

Shen Shuangshuang lowered his head, ready to take out the electric baton at any time.

Until she heard the leading officer speak again.

"If you find any trace of those three people, report it to the Yamen immediately! If you don't conceal it, you will be charged as soon as you are discovered!"

"On the contrary, if the report is timely and the news is true, the county magistrate will reward you with a hundred taels of silver!"

When Shen Shuangshuang heard "a hundred taels of silver reward", Shen Shuangshuang's body shook and he looked up at the leading officers and soldiers.

As soon as his eyes met, he quickly lowered his head.

"Yes. The civilian woman knows." she said quickly.

"Haha." The leading officer and soldier laughed twice.

"Let's go!" he said loudly and waved to the other officers and soldiers in the yard.

Shen Shuangshuang and others walked out for a while before they straightened up.

Then walked to the courtyard gate.

When they walked outside the courtyard and saw that the officers and soldiers had really gone away, Shen Shuangshuang returned to the courtyard and bolted the door again.Then I went to find my mother-in-law and son.

As for Li Ke and the others, for the sake of safety, it would be better to let them stay in the cellar for a while.

Entering the room, Shen Shuangshuang saw her mother-in-law holding her son and stroking the baby's head to comfort him.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang enter the door, Shen said.

"Is everyone gone?"

"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang responded.

He went forward to take his son out of his mother-in-law's arms.

"Don't be afraid, Ling'er," he comforted.

The little baby in her arms looked up at her mother.

There was no fear in his eyes.

"Well, mother, my son is not afraid."

"Nai said, those people just look mean, not bad people."

Shen Shuangshuang glanced at her mother-in-law, and then smiled at her son.

"Yes, our Ling'er is so brave!"

The little baby laughed and asked his mother to put him down, and said he wanted to go back to his room to do his homework.

Shen Shuangshuang complied and let Li Ling go.

"Help me come over and I'll keep an eye on him and do his homework." Shen said.

"Okay." Shen Shuangshuang said in a long voice.

Help Shen to go out.

When I walked to the yard, I saw Wei San sticking his head out of the utility room.

Wei Sandand looked around, asking Shen Shuangshuang with his eyes.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang nodding towards him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he came out of the room and went out to check the situation.

Shen Shuangshuang ignored the matter and helped Shen to her room before making breakfast.

Just as they were meeting, Li Ke came.

Without saying anything, the man went to the stove to light a fire.

Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Li Ke, lowered his head and continued busy with his work.

Seeing this, Li Ke spoke first.

"Brother Yin and I have discussed it. If Yan Lang can't find His Highness, we will definitely send someone to search again."

"So, in the past two days, we are going to arrange for His Highness to live in the cellar directly. Then, Brother Yin will also take care of His Highness there."

Shen Shuangshuang raised his head and glanced at Li Ke.

"Oh." There was a reply.

"Wei San and Zhang Yi, one is still responsible for keeping an eye on the village entrance and paying attention to the situation, while the other stays at home to prepare medicine and meals for His Highness."

"After breakfast, I will go to Shangyang Town again."

After a pause, Li Ke said again: "If you want to bring anything, I can buy it for you."

Shen Shuangshuang finally looked up at Li Ke again.

After thinking for a while, he said: "No need."

There is actually not much rice and noodles left at home, but it only took these two days for General Guo to arrive in Shangyang Town and resolve the matter.

There is no need to let Li Ke take risks for something.

After all...this man is her son's father.

Li Ke was looked at by Shen Shuangshuang for a while, feeling inexplicably nervous.

When Shen Shuangshuang looked away, he felt a little lost again.

Next, the couple worked together to prepare breakfast without saying anything.

The content of this breakfast is the same as yesterday, but the portion is more than double that of the first time yesterday.

After all, more people are eating breakfast today, and there are quite a few big eaters.

The result was just as Shen Shuangshuang suspected, the pot of noodles was completely eaten.

Li Ke and the others still looked full after eating, feeling that they were only seventy full.

After the meal, Li Ke helped Shen Shuangshuang collect the bowls and chopsticks and left.

After Shen Shuangshuang washed the dishes and tidied up the house, she went back to her room to study with her son for a while, and then went to work.

Yin Song gave her a big list. She had nothing to do now, so she might as well make some tofu skin and yuba.
