Chapter 9 Exploring Luoxia Town at Night
Although Du Shaoqing had infinite guesses in his heart, the noise at the door of the two had attracted a lot of attention. The loss of his wife could not be spread, so he still went around and let Huang Shengcai leave.
Du Shaoqing thought about it more and more wrong. His wife ran away from home for no reason. Now Huang Shengcai's words are obviously hinting at something. Could it be that this man surnamed Huang knows the clue? Was he secretly threatened? Or did he kidnap people directly?
"Dad, what are you thinking? You don't play with Xuanxuan anymore." The youngest daughter Xuanxuan came to Du Shaoqing unknowingly, and pulled his clothes and shook them.
Du Shaoqing bent down and pulled his daughter over and said dotingly: "I'm wondering, should I give my baby Xuanxuan two steamed buns today?"
"Ah! Really Daddy?" The little girl was surprised and her eyes were rounded, but she immediately shook her head quickly: "No, no, I'd better not eat it anymore. If you eat too much, your belly will be broken. I'd better eat one."
This scene made Du Shaoqing laugh directly, just a joke to scare the child, but the child remembered it clearly. He picked up the child and held it over his head and turned it around twice. The little girl screamed excitedly. Uncle San was burning a fire in the kitchen. He was filled with relief when he saw this scene. Although his nephew was called a nerd, he was a good child in his eyes.
"Dad, when will we go to find mother?" Xuanxuan asked seriously.
"Looking for a mother? What kind of mother is looking for?" Du Shaoqing said in surprise.
Who knew that this sentence was like digging the Yellow River water. With a wow, the little girl burst into tears.
"Dad is bad, Daddy is lying to someone. He agreed to go find his mother and ask her to hold me every day. Now he won't look for me...I want my mother..."
Du Shaoqing wanted to slap himself, why is an adult not as good as a child's memory? He hurriedly held his daughter and coaxed her. After Du Shaoqing made a long promise, the little girl finally cleared the clouds and fog and the rain passed by the clear sky.
"Dad, I think we don't want her to hold me every day after we find our mother."
"Ah? Why is this? Wouldn't it be good to let her hold you every day? Then she won't be able to leave."
"I, I'm afraid that my mother will be tired of holding her, so she left again." The little girl's innocent words directly stuck to Du Shaoqing's heart. It turned out that she thought that the mother had left was the reason. Oh, what a good child, why did such a thing happen? Humph, Huang Shengcai, even if this matter is for my daughter, I must find you clearly.
Du Shaoqing rubbed his daughter's head and comforted her: "It's okay, she will never feel tired when she holds you. If she is tired, let's give her steamed buns."
"Yeah, yeah, the steamed buns are delicious." The little girl agreed very much.
Uncle San in the kitchen shouted: "Dalang, the time is almost over, and I'm starting to work."
At night, Du Shaoqing watched his daughter sleep slowly, but he quietly got up, put on a dress of gray cloth, found a piece of coarse cloth and covered it on his face, and quietly climbed over the wall from his home. He wanted to visit Shengcai Restaurant at night.
It is said that Du Shaoqing, a nerd, should have no power to tie a chicken, but Du Shaoqing, who traveled through time, has not divided the family since ancient times. He has learned ancestral medical skills since childhood, and also has secret methods of strengthening the body and strengthening the body from generation to generation. Although it has not been long for time traveling, Du Shaoqing's daily exercise habit has not changed. This body has improved a lot, and it is no problem to climb over the wall and jump into the house.
That night, Huang Shengcai was not interested in sleeping, so he lit an oil lamp and was discussing with one of his subordinates how to deal with Yunlai Inn. When Du Shaoqing came, he happened to see that the lights were still on in the room, so he quietly climbed up to the roof and began to eavesdrop.
"Shopkeeper, I said I'd better do it the same thing, find a brother to buy his steamed buns, and then get some medicine that can't kill people, so that they will surrender?" The subordinate seemed to be seeking credit, and said frantically.
Huang Shengcai tapped several cases with his fingers and stared at the oil lamp. But what he was thinking about was that Du Shaoqing said on the day, it was impossible for people to fall twice in the same place. Could it be that they have a way to deal with it? Then he shook his head. As long as this kind of thing is done cleanly, it makes people unable to grasp the handle, and they can't deal with it at all? Then...
Thinking of this, Huang Shengcai looked up at this subordinate with a deep meaning. The subordinate, who was known as Huang Shengcai's most trusted and capable, suddenly felt that the whole room had become a little cold. Did he wear less clothes?
Then Huang Shengcai looked away and shook his head and said, "No, it's a bit old-fashioned twice in a row. In this case, even the reputation of steamed buns will be ruined. Master, what I want is steamed buns, which lay golden eggs. We can't kill the chicken.
Think of another way.”
The man scratched his head, and after a moment, he said as if he had given up his brains, "Shopkeeper, this matter is not troublesome. Let your brother-in-law Wang County Master come and everything is solved. Just accuse that kid of a crime. The Du family can't bear it. Will you not be able to handle anything you want at that time?"
Huang Shengcai was silent for a moment and sighed: "This is true, but he is a county magistrate after all, and he is a busy man. He can't let everyone take action on big and small matters."
"This is not a trivial matter. Didn't you say that this steamed bun is a chicken that lays golden eggs? If you can divide the county magistrate into a few golden eggs in the future..."
Du Shaoqing eavesdropped on the two of them’s conspiracy and sneered in his heart. He is really a frivolous person, stealing, coercion, and forcing him to buy, and now he wants the government to bully him? What are these people?
Then he had no intention of eavesdropping. He remembered his purpose of visiting the night and began to check in carefully at the Huang family.
"It's strange. Could it be that I was wrong? No? No, the people who abducted are generally not so obvious in restaurants. Perhaps other industries in the Huang family may be."
Then Du Shaoqing visited the other two other industries of the Huang family in the town, but they got nothing. Du Shaoqing, who returned disappointed, lay in bed without any intention of sleeping. Maybe he guessed it wrongly, it was not kidnapped by Huang Shengcai, but he must have known other news. Haha, it's really ridiculous. As a husband, it's not as good as an outsider. Who is this woman?
After returning home disappointed and lying on the bed, Du Shaoqing was full of thoughts.
"Mom, mom, Xuanxuan doesn't want you to leave, don't leave..." The daughter beside her had a nightmare again, and Du Shaoqing patted her daughter gently on the side with heartache to coax her to sleep.
On the other hand, the princess in the palace was also muttering in her dreams, calling her daughter Xuanxuan's name. Her mother, Empress Changsun, saw all this in her eyes, feeling distressed but couldn't. Her daughter kept silent, and she couldn't force her to ask her again and hurt her daughter's heart.
The next day, the fur merchant Boss Hu went back to Chang'an City after the transaction and brought a batch of mountain goods back to Chang'an City. Before he could go home, he went straight to a famous fur shop in East City, Chang'an. He is also an old customer here.
"Shopkeeper Li, Lao Hu, I'm here again. Come and see the quality of this batch of goods. There is another top-quality item inside, but luck."
The shopkeeper at the counter smiled and took the thing and said, "Haha, every time you, Boss Hu, you can bring surprises to the store. You are our financial backer."
"I'm going to win too much, but I'm just a traveler who makes a living.
Alas, I was just rushing to go, and I didn’t even have a hot meal. I was really hungry. You can watch it first and count it. Just have the old rules. I’ll eat some dry food first and mat it.”
As he spoke, Boss Hu took out a big white steamed bun from the bag and stood beside him and started to chew.
It's a coincidence that there were two distinguished customers in this store who were choosing fur goods. A young man was with a middle-aged lady. It seemed that they were mother and son. When the mother was choosing to identify fur goods, the young man looked around when he had nothing to do.
