Chapter 350
However, when the mother-in-law who reported the letter came back, she realized that Tang Wan had long disappeared.

"Okay, it's very good, I didn't expect that even this inner house is not clean now."

Su Qianyu ordered:

"Let me go to each house and courtyard to take a closer look, if anyone is missing."

"It's definitely not that simple."

After investigation, it turned out that three people were still missing.

One is heating hot water in the kitchen, one is buying gouache and rouge outside, and the other is in charge of flowers and trees.

Those who met them at last said that they claimed to be out on business under the orders of their wife.

"These three must be spies who sneaked in!"

"No way, Aunt Tang is very nice..."

"It seems that something really happened..."

There was a lot of trouble in the house, and many servants were discussing it in private.

Su Qianyu's face was already frosty.

"Have you found out the details of these three people?"

"Go back to madam, not yet."

The servants lowered their heads, looking at their toes, not daring to raise their heads, wishing they could shrink themselves into the cracks between the bricks and stones on the ground.

"Go and find out!"

"Wait, come and tell the master."

After a pause, Su Qianyu said again:
"Sister, don't bother her for the time being, I will talk about it myself."

The servants retreated in response.

When there were no outsiders on the field, she rubbed her forehead in annoyance:

"Ah, it's so hard to be in charge... I have to carry it all day, I can't do this, I can't do that, it's really annoying!"

"It's already annoying enough on weekdays, but something like this happened again..."

············
"Just buy me a candied haws!"

"Mom, I beg you..."

"No, the price of food has risen again recently, so save money and don't spend it recklessly. From now on, candied haws are not allowed!"

On the street, a mother and daughter stopped in front of a vendor selling candied haws.

The little girl with double braids and a small plain flower skirt was pulling at the corner of the woman's clothes, just refusing to leave.

The candied haws inserted on the haystack are covered with a layer of crystal clear sugar coating, and the hawker carefully wraps the outside with kraft paper to prevent dust from sticking.

After tasting the sweetness of candied haws, the little girl was so hungry that she couldn't move any more.

"I beg you..."

"no!"

"I beg you..."

"No, no, no!"

"I beg you..."

"no--"

in a repeated cycle.

Finally, seeing all the hawkers who set up stalls over there looked over, the woman was finally annoyed, picked up her daughter, turned around and left.

Along the way, the little girl was still chattering, completely unaware of the hardships at home.

As the situation in the city became increasingly tense, food prices also rose again and again, and this family was just a microcosm of thousands of families in the city.

Just then, there was a commotion.

A figure stumbled into the crowd, and finally fell on a stall selling straw sandals and bamboo baskets.

The blood on that half of his body stained the commoner red, causing a burst of screams.

The surrounding crowd dispersed one after another to avoid the chaos here.

Several policemen with knives, steel knives in hand, rushed to surround the place.

A headhunter with a swollen face and a fierce look, holding a waist card and looking at the crowd, shouted:

"The county lord has an order to hunt down Wang Yang's thief Li Qi, and the idlers should retreat quickly!"

Li Qi, who fell to the ground, had completely lost his strength during the chase just now, and he lost too much blood, and was already in a coma.

Two detectives stepped forward, carefully put the shackles on him, hinged them, and searched him skillfully.

Teeth, shoe soles, inside of clothes...

"Boss, no."

A catcher went to the head catcher and whispered back.

The headhunter, who was wearing a public uniform and had a swollen face, changed his expression slightly and waved his hand.

"Take it away first!"

The detectives quickly left with the criminals.

Things like this happened all over the county at the same time.

The onlookers were a little panicked at first, but after seeing it a lot, they got used to it.

As the situation became more and more tense, additional manpower was deployed in the city to search for various spies, and some Wang Yang robbers who had fled in previous years were arrested.

These obvious searches were naturally handed over to the police.

As for the secret battle, it happened in an unknown corner.

After watching the excitement, the crowd dispersed, and the stall that was originally smashed would naturally be finished by someone, and there would always be some compensation.

It's just that when no one was paying attention, a man dressed as a hunter closed the stall early, passed by a nearby alley, put down his things, and walked in.

In the alleyway where no one was around, this Orion took off a loose wall brick in the corner, took out a copy from it, wrapped it in oiled paper, and put it close to his body.

Then, head out of town naturally, as usual.

Because they were acquaintances, even the patrolling soldiers only took a few glances and had no doubts.

Half a mile out of the city, there is a pavilion.

When I got here, I saw someone waiting in the distance.

When I got closer, I saw a man with a mustache and a bookish look.

"He Dalang, is today going well?"

The man came forward and asked.

"It's not bad. I sold it for more than a dozen big bucks. This is the meat for you. It's an old shop in the south of the city. It's still hot!"

As he spoke, he handed the things over from his arms.

The man took the things, but didn't open them, he just untied a money bag from his waist and handed it away.

"This is an agreement, the other half of the reward after the work is done."

He Dalang turned upside down, estimating the weight, and he knew it in his heart.

According to the agreement with this person, half of the deposit will be paid first, and the other half will be given after the matter is completed. The total is 20 taels.

More money and less money is not the most important thing, what is important is that this person is from the Xue family army in the west.

Right now, the Xue family's army is imposing like a rainbow, so it is not appropriate to offend them.

Xue Zhili claimed to have an army of 2, but in fact there were at least [-]. He broke through the three counties without any opponent.

In He Dalang, no, in the eyes of many people, taking over Beichen County is only a matter of time.

Therefore, for the consideration of He Jiazhai, he had to sell his personal favor in advance, so as to avoid disaster when the army crossed the border.

These days, no matter where the army crosses the border, it is a disaster.

The villages along the way will inevitably be looted and reduced to proletarian refugees.

The refugees who have lost everything, including the middle-aged men, will be coerced into the army and become cannon fodder for the siege.

After going through several battlefields, those who survived, saw blood, and were truly able to fight would be promoted to become officers.

Once selected into the army, their wives and children will be protected and given a fortune.

Even those who have made great contributions can also be qualified to wear armor
This is how Xue Zhili walked along the way.

Through this cruel elimination, after tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, he really recruited a group of elites, and they were no longer a mob.
