Zhou Bowen's resentment and anger all dissipated at this moment.
After Wen Wensong brought Zhou Bowen in, he first asked the servant to bring him a hand stove to warm his hands, and then asked the servant to light more stoves to make the room warm.
"What's going on?" Wen Wensong was warming his hands in front of the stove. "Even if something happens, you don't have to stand around outside. You can just send someone to pass a message to me."
"My father was arrested by the Yamen people, did you know?" Zhou Bowen drank too much and finally worked up the energy to find someone, and because he had been outside for a long time in the cold wind, his head hurt even more.
Wen Wensong's face was full of surprise: "Really?"
"Of course." Zhou Bowen frowned, "Aren't you the next county magistrate?"
"You said you were about to step down, but I haven't taken office yet!" Wen Wensong said, "I went out early today and I don't know what happened. Why was your father arrested?"
"I don't know either." Zhou Bowen said, "I was still at Chunfeng Tower just now. My mother sent someone to find me and said that my father was arrested. I am still at a loss."
"Who captured him?"
"I'm not at home, I don't know!"
Wen Wensong shouted outside: "Here comes someone."
A government official walked in.
Wen Wensong asked about Zhou Fugui.
The officer told everything truthfully.
"Okay, I understand, please step back!" Wen Wensong waved his hand.
As soon as the yamen officer left, he continued: "The person who captured him is Lu Daniu. He is a close confidant of Mr. Lu. He only listens to him and not even my words. It seems to be Mr. Lu's order. What happens next depends on I won't know until Master Lu comes back after I ask him."
"When will Mr. Lu come back?"
"We don't know yet. He went to Baili Village, where an avalanche caused a landslide. The situation is unknown." Wen Wensong patted Zhou Bowen on the shoulder, "Don't be anxious, go back and wait for the news. Mr. Lu hasn't come back, your father's fault If no one cares about the matter, he will definitely not be wronged. This at least means that he is safe."
"You're right. Brother Wen, my father will ask you to take care of him."
When Lu Zhiqian came back, Mu Siyu was cooking barbecue. Seeing him come back, he asked about Lu Yi's situation and learned that the place was under control and the people had been rescued.
"Although he was rescued, he was seriously injured. Now he needs to send some medicinal materials." Lu Zhiqian said, "Baili Village is far away from the city, and now there is no medicinal materials. We have to collect medicinal materials from the city."
"Then go quickly!"
A few days later, Lu Yi finally came back.
Mu Siyu touched his face distressedly: "I've lost a lot of weight."
Lu Yi grabbed her finger and said, "Madam, I feel sorry for you. This sin is not in vain."
"I've been tired for so many days, and I'm still in the mood to talk sweet words. You should take a rest. There's a black ball under your eyes. If you continue like this, I'm really worried that you will die suddenly."
Lu Yi had no time to rest.
Not long after he arrived, Wen Wensong came to see him.
He drank a few mouthfuls of the tonic soup that Mu Siyu had been cooking for several hours, and followed Wen Wensong away.
"Can't you calm down?" Lu Yi asked.
"I only gave a small hint, and Zhou Bowen told me about the three generations of their ancestors. However, Zhou Bowen didn't know much about this person, so he didn't get any useful information. It seems that he wanted to find out what you were doing. The cause of death of parents has to start with Zhou Fugui. But this Zhou Fugui is not as easy to deceive as Zhou Bowen. If the things that happened back then were related to him, his best way is to pretend to be innocent. It is impossible to tell you these things. of."
"I'm not afraid that he won't speak." Lu Yi said, "As long as he has a weakness."
"Do you want to take a rest first?" Wen Wensong asked, "Isn't the matter in Baili Village very troublesome? It looks like you haven't slept in a few days."
"The mountains are prone to collapse, so I took this opportunity to help them solve it. It's true that I haven't slept for a few days." Lu Yi said, "But I am more anxious to know the real cause of death of my parents. This hard work is nothing. "
"As you wish!"
Zhou Fugui was imprisoned for a few days. He lost weight and looked haggard. Fortunately, it was winter now. If it were summer, he would have stunk.
But winter also has its pains, such as almost freezing to death at night.
Zhou Fugui just wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, no matter what he is asked to do, as long as he can leave here.
"Master Lu..." Zhou Fugui saw Lu Yi and asked, "What do you mean? I am an honest businessman and I have never done anything illegal."
"Didn't you do anything illegal?" Lu Yi said calmly, "You have inquired about my identity, who my father is, and how my parents died. Do you want Boss Zhou to give me an explanation?"
"Master Lu, have you misunderstood something?" Zhou Fugui said, "Your parents had business dealings with me, and we have a very good relationship..."
Lu Yi had long guessed that Zhou Fugui would not say it so easily, and after hearing his words, there was no emotion on his face.
His behavior made Zhou Fugui even more panicked.
"Sir, what I said is true."
"It seems that you haven't figured it out yet, then think about it again. When you do, I will come over and explain it to you in detail." Lu Yi turned and left.
After leaving the prison, Lu Yi went to the study.
"Wen Song, the snow disaster is followed by disaster. Judging from the current situation, the people's lives will not be easy next year. Have you thought about how to tide over the difficulties?" Lu Yi said calmly.
Wen Wensong said: "Next year's crops will definitely not be good. Let alone eat them, the people may not even be able to collect the taxes. I don't have the skills of a wife, so I can still get them a project to offset the taxes. I think the only way is to go up. Apply in person to see if you can get tax reduction or exemption."
"This heavy snowfall is not just limited to Hubei City. All other cities can pay taxes. Only Hubei City cannot pay taxes. Your new official has taken office. What does Shangfeng think of such achievements?"
"Then we can't be dog officials who force the people, right?" Wen Wensong had a headache, "What good ideas do you have?"
"Since Madam can get something like a kang stove for heating in the room, can we also make the crops survive in the cold season?"
"Is this okay?"
"Madam has many ideas. I will go back and discuss with her. I will tell you the result when I have it." Lu Yi yawned, "I will go back and take a rest first, otherwise Madam will be angry."
"Where is Zhou Fugui..."
"Let him dry for now, don't worry about him. He should be given food, just like other prisoners." Lu Yi said calmly, "When his heart is not at peace, I will go and meet him properly."
Since he found out there was something wrong with his parents' death, it was impossible for him to hide away. If he didn't know the current situation, he wouldn't mind using some special means.
Lu Yi went back to his room to rest.
Mu Siyu, who was accompanying him, actually followed him and fell into a deep sleep.
