As for Huang Ying and Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong naturally had to go down the mountain with them.
Huang Ying was very unwilling to go down the mountain today after coming here yesterday.
Chen Xiaobei spread his hands helplessly, "If you really don't want to go down the mountain, then you can stay here, but I have to go down."
The words made Huang Ying choke and cough. She glared at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Chen Xiaobei, you bastard, why should I stay after you go down the mountain? Sister Hongyu said that I should keep an eye on you."
Hearing Huang Ying's scolding, Chen Xiaobei looked aggrieved, "Oh, everything I did was wrong anyway."
Looking at the performance of the two people, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong looked at each other and covered their mouths with smiles. They should have seen something?
When the sun set, Chen Xiaobei came back and brought back Chen Lidong's body.
This once again plunged the entire Hetou Village into a sad atmosphere.
Cui Hongyu also lay in Chen Xiaobei's arms and wiped away tears.
"My husband Lidong is gone like this, and I feel very depressed."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, I feel uncomfortable too. I have to go to the county government to report this matter when I come back this time."
Cui Hongyu nodded, "Husband, please rest early."
When the two let go, they discovered that Chen Qiaoer was not far away, looking at them with tears. Perhaps the scene of the two crying together frightened Chen Qiaoer, and he did not dare to move or step forward.
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and picked up Chen Qiao'er. He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, "Qiao'er, my brother will go out a lot these days, so you have to be obedient at home."
Chen Qiaoer nodded, "Qiaoer took note of it."
At this time, in Liu Rumei's house.
Seeing Liu Ce's safe return, Liu Rumei cried with joy and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Miss, when I came down the mountain, Zhang Qian and the others said they wanted to trap Sima Wushuang and Jueding Taoist to death. Do you think it's feasible?"
Liu Rumei was noncommittal and just snorted coldly, "Sima Wushuang and Taoist Jue must be punished for their crimes. It would be best if they could be trapped to death. Even if they are trapped to death, if they are left in Qingniu Mountain, the pressure on the prince's side will be less."
Liu Ce nodded, "Yes, as long as the dragon's veins are not destroyed, the Imperial Master will have no excuse and there will be room for maneuver in everything."
"By the way, miss, how is the situation over at Centipede Ridge?"
Liu Rumei smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter over there at Centipede Ridge. Sun Jian is dead. Even if those people come out, there won't be any big threat."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ce was shocked, "What, Sun Jian is dead?"
Liu Rumei nodded, "We are almost face to face. Ten serial crossbows all hit the vital points. How can we survive?"
"Who is it? Who is so domineering?" Liu Ce was also shocked.
"Chen Xiaobei did it because Sun Jian killed Chen Xiaobei's village guard captain."
Liu Ce also sighed after hearing this, "I can't believe that an ordinary farmer can do such a cruel thing if he becomes ruthless."
But Liu Rumei looked happy, "No, he is not an ordinary farmer, he is brave and resourceful."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Liu Ce's thoughts changed, "Miss, I hear you say that you really appreciate this Chen Xiaobei."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince is just using people. This Chen Xiaobei..."
"Miss, to assist the prince, you can't rely solely on being ruthless. I'm afraid a mountain man won't be able to reach the heights of elegance."
Liu Rumei glanced sideways at Liu Ce, her expression becoming stern.
"Can't mountain people climb the elegant hall?"
"Didn't the late emperor also create the Dacang Kingdom with a group of mountain people?"
With one sentence, Liu Ce stopped talking.
"Okay, now there is another difficult matter." Liu Rumei also changed the subject, "Second brother's coffin was lost in Fengjia Town."
"Ma Biao has already rushed over. I always feel that there is another mystery behind this matter."
"Miss, do you want to..."
"Transporting my second brother's coffin is an extremely confidential matter, but I always felt that they were being watched as soon as they set off."
"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with us internally?" Liu Ce couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"No, everyone in Hetou Village is suspected, including those from the capital, the villagers of Hetou Village, and even Yang Zhi and the others."
Liu Ce cupped his fists and said, "I understand. I will arrange personnel to secretly investigate everyone and strive to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible."
Liu Rumei shook her head slightly, "If you check like this, you won't be able to find out even if you check for three years."
"Miss, what should we do?"
"It's very simple. If we capture Sima Wushuang, will the other party take action?"
Liu Ce frowned and said, "Miss, according to the agreement I made with Zhang Qian and Chen Xiaobei before we went down the mountain, each of us will have three days. It will be my turn after six days."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "It will be too late in six days."
"In three days, I'll go discuss with Chen Xiaobei about changing it."
"Why exchange it? Wouldn't it be more realistic if Chen Xiaobei cooperated in this matter?"
After hearing this, Liu Ce gave Liu Rumei a thumbs up.
Chen Xiaobei got up early the next morning.
First put the apples and then the vegetables.
Although I went to report to Hu Fan, I couldn't leave any of these things behind.
Cui Hongyu also thoughtfully packed his brand new official uniform baggage.
After all, this is a formal work report, so you still have to wear Xiangzheng work clothes.
As for Xiaojia Town, it has been completely handed over to Chen Xiaobo, and Chen Xiaobei really can't take care of it anymore.
In the county town.
When Lao Wu saw that it was Chen Xiaobei who was here, he seemed very happy.
"Brother, you haven't been here for some time."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and pointed at the apples and vegetables behind him, "How much do you think we can sell today!"
Old Wu looked very arrogant, "I will sell as much as you keep."
"Well, this is what you said, I will leave you a little more today."
While he was unloading the vegetables, Old Wu lowered his voice and said to Chen Xiaobei, "You boy, you are so beautiful. When I first came here, I thought you didn't have a wife, but it turns out there is a beautiful woman at home.
"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Okay, Old Five, don't be greedy."
"Brother, there is one more thing. I have to ask you for a favor."
"I knew you were so sneaky and you must be up to no good." Chen Xiaobei laughed.
Old Wu also immediately got to the point, "Brother, do you remember that Butler Cao?"
"Remember, Zhao Yi's family bought my pheasant back then. He was a cheerful owner."
"Let me tell you, Butler Cao came here again two days ago. This time, he wanted to buy some rare items. I wonder if you can help find them."
"Then tell me, what does he want?"
"He told me that he wanted four things. One was a big snake over five feet long, one was a bird with red feathers, one was a big tiger, and one was a century-old tortoise."
"If you can get all these four things, I'll give you at least a few thousand taels of silver."
"Even if you can get one, you still need hundreds of taels of silver."
