Somewhat aggrieved
The reporting officer had an inexplicable fear of ordinary people, and the stalemate lasted for a long time. After Peng's father and Peng's mother confirmed that they were alone and helpless, they finally agreed.
It's just that I complied under threat and didn't get a cent of money, so I couldn't help but feel unconvinced.
Chen Lihai didn't care whether they were convinced or not. He stood up and asked the village chief Peng and the village chief to write a letter of renunciation.
Father Peng and Mother Peng reluctantly put their fingerprints on the place where their names were and left without looking back.
Chen Lihai returned to his taciturn demeanor. He took his letter of renunciation, thanked the two village chiefs, and went home.
"The letter of renunciation has been signed."
Chen Lihai handed over the paper. Although Peng was illiterate, she still took it and rubbed the paper with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
From now on, she will have no natal family.
Chen Lihai pursed his lips, sat next to her, and held her in his arms.
"Don't cry, trust me, I will treat you well."
…
On the seventh day of the lunar month, Su Mo got up early. After breakfast, he told his three children to stay at home while he went to the county town.
Many shops in the county were open on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, but there were still few people on the street. Su Mo walked quickly and quickly arrived at the gate of the county government office.
She took out a red envelope from her arms, handed it to the yamen at the door, and asked him to call Li Feng out.
Because of the soil improvement incident, almost all the government officials recognized Su Mo, but unlike Li Feng, they did not know that Fang Shi and Su Mo were sworn brothers.
Thinking it was about the wheat in the fields, the yamen servant weighed the red envelope in his hand and grinned.
"Mrs. Gu, please wait outside. The little one will come as soon as he goes."
"Thank you."
Su Mo smiled back and watched the government officials go in.
Not long after, Li Feng walked out of the county government office in a hurry.
He looked around and whispered to Su Mo: "Mrs. Gu, there are many people here, come with me."
Su Mo nodded and followed Li Feng down the street, and soon came to a teahouse.
The waiter inside obviously recognized Li Feng. When he saw the person coming, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Here comes Team Leader Li, but it's still the same?"
"Need not."
Li Feng had a cold face and took in the situation in the teahouse.
"Find a quieter place and serve some more elegant refreshments."
"Okay, Team Leader Li, please come over here!"
The waiter noticed that there was another person behind Bantou Li, dressed as a woman, and thought it was a somewhat shady relationship. He suddenly understood and invited the two of them to the most remote location.
"You two sit down for a moment. Refreshments will be coming soon."
After the waiter left, Li Feng calmed down the fierce expression on his face and slightly arched his hands towards Su Mo.
"Mrs. Gu, are you here to discuss the matter of the county magistrate taking a concubine?"
As the head of the county government, Li Feng knew everything about the county government, let alone the concubines of the county magistrate who was in charge of the county government.
Su Mo was slightly startled, then nodded slightly.
After Li Feng heard the news about Su Mo's arrival, he guessed that she was here because of this incident.
If it was something else, he could discuss it privately with the county magistrate. For Fang Shi's sake, the county magistrate would at least listen to it.
However, this matter involved the Hu family. The county magistrate did not know the relationship between Fang Shi and Su Mo. He only knew that the Hu family had a strong background and should not be offended.
Fang Shi once told him not to expose his sworn brother-sister relationship with Su Mo. As a result, Li Feng was helpless and had to write to Fang Shi to let him operate from it.
Of course, Li Feng would not tell Su Mo the details.
His expression softened slightly, "The county magistrate is now in charge of the county government. It is not easy to interfere in this small matter.
But don’t worry, I have sent a letter to Mr. Fang, and I believe it will be resolved in a short time."
Li Feng's words did not make Su Mo feel any fluctuation in his heart.
She had already guessed that this matter was closely related to Wang Yingying. This time she came not only to solve this problem, but also to confirm her guess.
"Thank you for your trouble, Squad Leader Li, but..."
She pretended to be relieved and let out a long sigh of relief. As soon as she finished thanking her, her words changed and she looked at Li Feng hesitantly.
"Yesterday, when the children in the village were playing, they noticed green smoke rising from the wheat field. The village chief went to check and found that someone was digging ditches in the mountains, lighting fires next to the ditches, melting the ice and snow, and diverting water to the wheat fields..."
"This is happening!"
Li Feng was slightly angry, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to slap the table, but saw the waiter coming with a tray. He immediately suppressed his anger, and after the waiter put down the snacks and tea and left, he continued: "Mrs. Gu, don't worry
, I will lead someone to investigate this matter."
Su Mo nodded slightly and glanced at the teapot. She raised her hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Feng.
"Thank you, Captain Li. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
"Mrs. Gu, you are so polite. This is what a young person should do."
Li Feng didn't think much, took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
He just put down the cup, blinked, his eyes gradually became empty, and his whole body seemed to be stupid and motionless.
Su Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he took the opportunity to ask: "What exactly is going on with the county magistrate taking a concubine?"
"The Hu family's wife personally came to the door and ordered the county magistrate to take Mrs. Gu as his concubine. The county magistrate knew that there was someone behind the Hu family and did not dare to offend..."
Li Feng's eyes were dull as he recounted what he knew about the situation. Su Mo's eyes grew cold after hearing this, and he found out the location of the Hu Mansion from Li Feng's mouth.
After Li Feng regained consciousness, she immediately asked to leave.
Li Feng didn't think much and asked the waiter to pack the untouched refreshments.
"The tea here tastes quite good. Mrs. Gu took it back and gave it to the three children to try."
Su Mo smiled and thanked him, took the tea wrapped in oil paper, and after leaving, went to Hu's house.
258 felt bad and quickly advised Su Mo not to act rashly.
"Host, this world is different from yours.
What's more, the current situation is not good for you. If you act rashly and cause the mission to fail, you will miss the mark."
Su Mo didn't say anything and walked silently. When he saw the gate of Hu Mansion, he circled around the courtyard wall.
The secret sentry in the Hu Mansion quickly noticed Su Mo and lurked, keeping an eye on Su Mo's every move. If there was anything unusual, they would arrest the person and bring him into the house.
And Su Mo was also keenly aware that several eyes were focused on her. Her eyes flashed slightly and she quietly left at the next alley.
Sure enough, someone followed her.
Su Mo lowered his eyes slightly and walked as usual, lingering in the street shops. After confirming that the person following him had left, he left the street and said to 258: "I know what's going on."
In this world where royal power is paramount, it is still difficult to move forward even if there is no force and no rights.
If Wang Yingying was still the daughter of the Wang family in Luoshan Village, she could have kidnapped the person to Xishan without anyone noticing, beat her up, and left her in the barren mountains to feed wild animals.
But now Wang Yingying is the wife of the Hu family. Li Feng said that the Hu family has a great background, and the eldest son of the Hu family has a close relationship with Fang Shi. Based on other information, Su Mo can easily guess that the Hu family also relies on the fourth prince.
Not to mention that she just walked around the Hu's house, and there were many people watching her every move.
If we really do it, whether we can find Wang Yingying is a question.
After finding Wang Yingying and successfully taking revenge, whether the young Gu family can withstand the revenge of the Hu family is another question.
Su Mo was not stupid, nor was he impulsive. He was just a little aggrieved.
