Fang said angrily: "They are not mother and son. They are just a group of liars who got together casually. They are playing a scam. They say they are playing a high-level fairy dance. They deceived us to kidnap us.

I went to Nanshan to sell it for money."

Lu Youqing had heard people talk about the Immortal Dance before, but in those cases, beautiful women pretended to be married, went to their husband's house, packed up their belongings and ran away.

But this group of swindlers actually let a woman in her forties or fifties hook up two young daughters-in-law and sell them out. They also kidnapped a little boy and performed a high-level fairy dance.

Lu Youqing asked Fang: "Where are you from?"

Mrs. Fang sobbed twice and said, "We are from Chenjiatan, Qingyuan County."

Lu Youqing raised his eyebrows high and asked in surprise: "You are from Chenjiatan, and your husband's surname is Li. Are you the descendants of the Li clan?"

Mrs. Fang was also surprised, "Do you know Li Cheng? My father-in-law is Li Jixu. He is the elder brother of Patriarch Li. My man, Li Yanchen, is the nephew of Patriarch Li."

Lu Youqing felt like he had a headache. He originally thought that after asking about the situation, he would send these two women and children, along with a few swindlers, to the officials for punishment.

He and Wang Zhongpeng rescued them from the scammers, and their merits were considered complete.

But he never expected that these two women were from Chenjiatan and the daughters-in-law of patriarch Li's brother's family.

Patriarch Li is prejudiced against their Dongpo people. If this matter is not handled well, there will be trouble.

Lu Youqing thought twice and brought all these people back.

Si Sheng and the others finally understood the whole story. Lu Wang was actually right in what he just said. Mrs. Huai was neither an outsider nor an outsider to the people of Chenjiatan.

Si Sheng asked Lu Wang: "Where are these people now?"

Lu Wang said: "We have been dragged to Dongpo, so we dare not take him to the Li family rashly. My father asked me and Brother Zhang to wait for you here and let you make up your mind."

"Then what did your father originally want to do?" Si Sheng wanted to hear Lu Youqing's thoughts.

"My father wants you to tell the Li family first, and then send them back."

Si Sheng agreed and said: "Your father is right to think about it. This matter must be discussed in advance before we dare to act."

Suxue reminded: "Dad, should you tell this to Patriarch Li first, or directly to Patriarch Li's brother Li Jixu? The liar is Li Jixu's wife, and the victims are his daughter-in-law and grandson. Can he make a decision at the moment?

Are you clear? If you ask Patriarch Li to help, it depends on the relationship between Patriarch Li and his brother."

Wang Zeran also said: "This matter involves the reputation of these two women and the face of the Li family. If it is not handled well, it may cause death. At that time, the Li family may be blamed on us."

Si Sheng pondered for a moment and said to Lu Wang: "You really have to be cautious about this matter. Let's not rush to Li's house for the time being."

Si Sheng turned his head and said to Zhang Fu: "Let's go to Wan Xiangguang's house on the front road first."

Zhang Fu followed Si Sheng's directions and stopped the carriage in front of Wanjiayuan. Si Sheng jumped out of the carriage and turned around and said, "You are all waiting in the car."

It only took half an hour for Si Sheng to come out of Wanjia, get on the carriage, and said to Zhang Fu: "Go back to Dongpo."

Seeing that Si Sheng's face looked pretty good, Suxue asked, "Dad, have you asked about the situation of the Li family?"

Si Sheng nodded, "The two old brothers of the Li family have a very good relationship. Patriarch Li's parents died early, and it was Li Jixu who raised him to depend on each other.

During the war, the two families ran out to avoid the chaos. They encountered bandits on the road. Li Jixu's eldest son was beaten to death by the bandits in order to save Patriarch Li. Therefore, Patriarch Li was grateful and guilty to his brother. In the past two years, he had treated his brother

I care more about family matters than my own family."

At this point, Si Sheng suddenly changed the topic and said to Lu Wang: "Oh, by the way, Li Jixu's eldest son who was killed by the soldiers and bandits is the father of the second son who fought with you."

Lu Wang was a little surprised, "Ah? The second baby turned out to be a child without a father? It's so pitiful. Then we should let him be more in the future. Children without a father and a mother must be protected more.

"

Si Sheng nodded, his face a little heavy, as if he had thought of something else.

Suxue and Wang Zeran looked at each other. They were both motherless children. Did Lu Wang and the others usually pity them and let them go?

Lu Wang didn't notice that the three of them were all thinking about something. He just said it casually, and immediately thought of the task his father had assigned him, and asked Si Sheng: "Then let's not go to Li's house? We haven't finished the work yet."

Go back to Dongpo?"

Seeing that Si Sheng was a little distracted, Wang Zeran answered for him: "The people in the village are both afraid and hateful of us. If we just go to Li's house like this, we may not be able to get things done, and we may also arouse curiosity and suspicion from others, which will affect things.

The result of the treatment is not good for the Li family."

"Uncle, is your cousin right?" Lu Wang still wanted to confirm with Si Sheng.

Si Sheng nodded, still looking out the window.

The Lu family was the first family to live in the camp. Zhang Fu was driving the carriage and was about to turn in when he heard Dazhu shouting from the roadside: "Zhang Fu, your fourth uncle is in the car, right? Fourth brother, Brother Lu is with Uncle Xin."

Home."

Si Sheng leaned out and waved to Dazhu, indicating that he understood.

Zhang Fu drove the car and continued to move forward, stopping in front of Niu Zhixin's camping ground.

Not only Lu Youqing was at Niu Zhixin's house, but also Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Jin.

Seeing that Si Sheng was back, Lu Youqing didn't care about anything else and asked directly: "Have Lu Wang and Zhang Fu told you the situation? What do Li Jixu think?"

Several people present also looked at Si Sheng.

Si Sheng said: "The two children have explained the matter clearly. I still want to discuss the details with Cousin Lu and everyone. I haven't gone to Li's house yet."

It was very late, and there were no pedestrians on the two streets in front and behind Chenjiatan. Every household had closed its doors and turned off the lights. The whole village fell into a deep sleep. It was quiet all around except for someone's dog barking occasionally.

One or two blasts.

In the complete silence, there was a gentle knock on the door of Patriarch Li's house.

Li Yanming, the eldest son of Patriarch Li, heard the response outside the door. He did not open the door immediately. Instead, he walked to the door of Patriarch Li's house and asked: "Dad, outside the courtyard are Ye Xiucai and Lu Youqing from Dongpo. They said they have

Important things must be told to dad face to face."

Patriarch Li's hoarse voice came from the room, "Why are people from Dongpo coming to our house so late?"

Li Yanming said truthfully: "They refused to say it, but they seemed to hear a girl talking."

Patriarch Li paused for a moment. The spring sowing was about to start. Could these people have gotten into trouble with Patriarch Chen again? Li Chengqi’s favorite thing was going to the theater.

Patriarch Li said excitedly: "Yan Ming, go and light the lamp in the west wing. I'll go to the door and take a look."
