Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 157
Kikyo said: "It's not that I don't care, it's just doing what we can. It's not what we should do or can do. We can only watch and wait for the government to arrest people."

Huajiao still couldn't understand her reaction, and said suspiciously: "Sister, you, is what you said true or false?"

Kikyo said: "Of course it is true, well, don't think about it, at worst we stay here for a few more days, wait for the news, let's go, let's go eat something first, and then go shopping to see if there is anything good for grandma Buy it back."

"I don't eat, I want to lose weight!"

"We can't lose weight in a day, let's go, eat less, or we will starve to death."

Huajiao had no choice but to follow her.

The two went to the front hall of the inn to have some breakfast, and then went out for a walk in the street together.

Before reaching the end of a short street, the two of them encountered two groups of government servants who were searching.Shopkeeper Qu killed three people in a row and fled, completely annoyed the yamen servants. Without orders from their superiors, these people were also looking frantically, trying to find Shopkeeper Qu out no matter what, and avenge their colleagues.

Platycodon was passing by the hut where Li Sheng lived with Zanthoxylum intentionally or unintentionally. While Zanthoxylum was not paying attention, she ran over there from the space to peek, and saw that Li Sheng locked the door behind him and closed the two windows tightly. But when he got closer to listen, he heard a faint sound inside, probably the shopkeeper Qu was hiding inside.

She went back to the main street to look for Huajiao, and continued shopping with her.

For a whole day, the officials still didn't stop. Later, when Ma Xingren came back, he ordered the city gate to be closed and continued to search, but at night, he still couldn't find shopkeeper Qu, so he searched overnight.

Kikyo secretly rejoiced, look for it, the harder you search, the more anxious they are, the easier it is for them to jump over the wall in a hurry, and the easier it is for them to end up on their own.

That night, she went to the house of Li Sheng and shopkeeper Qu to see, and heard the two arguing inside, Li Sheng insisted on telling shopkeeper Qu to leave, but shopkeeper Qu had nowhere to go, and threatened Li Sheng again, Li Sheng had no choice but to let the shopkeeper go. He stays.

Kikyo saw that it really went according to his imagination, so he went back to the inn to live in peace.

This time Ma Xingren was determined not to open the city if he could not catch shopkeeper Qu, so he continued to search from house to house on the third day.Seeing that the search was more careful this time, Ji Jiao didn't dare to take it seriously, so she left Zanthoxylum bungeanum in the inn, and found an excuse to go out, and went to the hut to guard, to see if shopkeeper Qu would be arrested.

While she was guarding, the official messenger really came, led by Chen Tiecheng himself.Knock on the door of every house in this area, and search inside and outside the house.

When he came to Li Sheng's house, he knocked for a long time and no one opened the door, so he asked the neighbors on both sides. The neighbors said that the house was rented out, and no one was home during the day, so Chen Tiecheng called the landlord again and asked him to open the door. Put yourself in and check it out.

The landlord didn't have the key to the house, and he didn't dare to disobey the order of the official, so he had to call Li Sheng back and ask him to open the door and let the official enter.

When Li Sheng came back, his legs were so frightened that his legs were twisted, his hands were shaking, and he dropped the key several times before opening the door.

She was scared here, and Kikyo, who was hiding in the dark, was also very nervous, thinking to himself that shopkeeper Qu was still blocked, and he ran out after killing three people in a row. If Chen Tiecheng and others wanted to arrest him, he would definitely resist desperately. I hope he can drag Li Sheng into it too.

When he was thinking about it, he saw Chen Tiecheng and others coming from the house as if nothing happened, walked around the small courtyard a few times, and then ordered Li Sheng, saying: "I heard that you are a clerk of Jitong Medicine Store. You should know better than others, if you have any news about him, you must inform the government!"

Li Sheng nodded and bowed in response, and sent them out of the yard. Seeing that they were searching elsewhere, he quickly locked the door and ran away.

Kikyo couldn't help wondering why Chen Tiecheng couldn't find anyone?Shopkeeper Qu was still there when I came to see it last night, so did he escape today?But with the city gate closed, where can he go?

Suspicious, she simply entered Li Sheng's room from the space to look.

The house is not big, there are only two rooms inside and outside. In the inside there is a kang that can sleep two or three people, and there is a broken table, a stove in the outside, and some broken cooking utensils. It seems that there is no place to hide people.

Kikyo stood there secretly disappointed, it turned out that the surname Qu had really left, but where could he hide?He definitely wouldn’t dare to go back home, hiding with others, he has no interest in him, and it’s impossible to take him in, it’s better to stay with Li Sheng to be safe...

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a sound from the heated kang beside her. She was startled, and stared at the heated kang in amazement.

I saw that the middle of the flat reed mat on the heated kang bulged upwards, as if it was propped up by something underneath.

Hiding here! ! !

Don’t be surprised by the bellflower. Since it’s called a fire kang, it must be lit no matter what. Even if it’s warm now, it’s full of ashes from the bottom of the pot and oil from the kang hole. Not only is it dirty to death, it must be stuffy Choking again, no one can stay in a daze, this guy surnamed Qu is really fighting for his life!

Thinking of her, she hastily exited the house, lest shopkeeper Qu would be surprised and escape from here.

When she came to the courtyard, she also heard shopkeeper Qu vomit inside, it seemed that she had eaten a lot of ashes.

She thought to herself, this feeling is probably not much better than being tortured in the yamen. I wonder if this old ghost regrets killing him and escaping from prison.

Knowing that shopkeeper Qu is still hiding here, she can feel at ease, as long as this old thing doesn't escape her control.

So she left the small courtyard and came to the main street.

It was a coincidence that when she arrived at the intersection, Chen Tiecheng took someone out of a small shop, saw her passing by, and said, "Miss Qiao, haven't you returned to Shibantun, why are you here?"

Seeing that there was no way to hide, Ji Jiao came over and said, "Oh, my sister and I were late shopping the day before yesterday, so we didn't go back, but the next day we heard that the surname Qu was gone, and we've been waiting here for news."

Chen Tiecheng said: "Oh, so that's the case, then you should stay in the inn, it's too chaotic outside, don't come out casually."

Kikyo said: "I came here specifically to find you. I wanted to find out what's going on. How could you let the one surnamed Qu escape?"

Chen Tiecheng said in shame: "Oh, don't mention it, I happened to be on duty that day with the cell boss, and these little bastards under him were careless and didn't care about anything. Somehow, the murderer got the key and killed our two jailers and the prisoner. A janitor has escaped from the yamen! Alas, the brothers in the yamen are all furious, even my master said that if this guy is caught, he will be sentenced to death!"

Kikyo is very sad, people let it go by themselves, although their intention is not like this, but after all, someone died because of it, and he bears the unshirkable responsibility, people cannot be resurrected after death, so he can only use other methods to make up for it.

Thinking about it, she took out three silver bills from her bosom, put them in Chen Tiecheng's hands, and said, "Chen Butou, this is a piece of my heart, please help me pass it on to the families of the three brothers."
