Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman
Chapter 164 Arson
The latest website: "Mother, we are back."
"Mother, is my little sister good today?"
After hearing the voices of a few boys, she came back to her senses, sitting in a daze by herself, the sun was about to go down and she didn't know it yet.
Seeing Mother's frowning and worried look, they also knew that she was unhappy.
The second child stepped forward and squatted down, pulling Pei Xiu's sleeve, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, my mother is so absorbed in thinking about things that she forgot the time. You guys go to finish your homework first, and I'll cook. Your father is coming back soon, and I forgot to cook?" Send them away , She also thought about it, and she actually sat until the sun went down.
It's true that Zhou Cheng doesn't even know how to come back and talk about it, so she can feel at ease.
Little did he know that he was also sitting on the ground until the sun went down, and the long-term workers thought he was thinking and did not dare to disturb him. The long-term workers said hello and left until the end of the day. It was only then that he realized that the sun had actually gone down. Looking at the field in front of him, he got up and went back.
"Why did you come back? If you don't come back, I will send the child to find you." Pei Xiu looked at Zhou Cheng and felt relieved.
He is the head of the family, her support, and the support of the children. Here, women have no way to succeed, and can only rely on men.
"It's alright, I'm so absorbed in thinking about things, I forgot the time." After thinking about it, she told her to save her worry, "Your Highness is here today, the road has already passed, don't worry, just wait for the results. Yes. You take good care of your baby."
Pei Xiu nodded, "I heard the sound of hooves in the afternoon, and I saw it at the door. Let's eat."
The days and nights are long, and there are traces of some things that happen, not to mention the whereabouts of the King of Liaodong, so it is impossible not to leak any news.
But they only found out that he was out of the city. As for where he went and what he was doing, no one else could find out for the time being.
"Why don't you know? The city gate that the father and eldest brother went out to go to Ningxian County, how could they not be able to find out where they were going? With so many people following, you can always hear the wind, right? The father is too partial. Don't take me with you." The Second Young Master said angrily.
"Second Young Master, the people who follow are all cronies, it's hard to inquire, it's too blatant, and it's not good to pass it on to the prince's ears.
' said the little boy stubbornly.
The second son smashed the inkstone directly out, "Go and ask me again, I don't believe I can't ask."
"Yes." The ink mixed with blood and water flowed down from his forehead, and the little servant didn't dare to wipe it, so he hunched over and exited.
After the prince got permission, he secretly sent a team of people to Zhuangzi, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, he didn't want to fall short, the second child had a lot of small actions.
With the guarantee, Zhou Cheng was also relieved, watching the corn on the cob getting bigger and bigger, and more relaxed. When the whiskers on its tail turn dark, they can receive the goods.
But at this juncture something happened.
At night, Zhou Cheng was awakened by a knock on the door, and his heart was raised, something must have happened. After comforting Pei Xiu, he quickly put on his coat and went out the door.
"Master Wednesday, something happened, the ground is on fire, our people are already putting out the fire, you go and see." A soldier rushed over to report in a panic.
Qiu Baize had explained to their captain, and if anything happened, he would come to this yard and report it to Lord Wednesday. They have been here for a few days and are familiar with Zhou Cheng.
When Zhou Cheng heard this, his face darkened, and he hurried to the ground.
Seeing the smoke billowing in front of him and the soldiers carrying water back and forth to put out the fire, he asked the long-term worker who was helping out with a livid face, "When did you find the fire, and how was the fire when you found it?"
Captain Wu, who was guarding, also came over.
"The villain got up at night a quarter of an hour ago, and when he came back from the thatched hut, he found smoke coming from the cornfield, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check it, and found that two places were on fire, so he hurriedly shouted. There was the sound of corn stalks shaking in the cornfield in the distance, and it called out twice who it was. I searched and found no one." Changgong Laifu answered honestly.
"Are you sure you didn't read it wrong?" Zhou Cheng stared into his eyes with a tight frown.
Laifu said with certainty: "The villain is definitely not mistaken. When he saw the fire, he was very anxious, and he was very vigilant to pay attention to the surroundings. There was no wind at that time, and the movement in the corn bushes was obvious."
Zhou Cheng and Captain Wu looked at each other.
"Let's wait for the fire to go out." He stared at the thick smoke in front of him seriously, not knowing how much the loss was.
After a while, the visible fire had disappeared, and the soldier stepped forward to report: "Captain, Lord Wednesday, the fire is not big, it's all gone."
The heart he was carrying, suddenly let go half of it, and it was destroyed so quickly, the loss should not be very big.
"There is Captain Lao Wu to check the suspicious people. I will go to the ground to check the situation first." Zhou Cheng bowed his hands to him. It is more appropriate to hand over the personnel to Captain Wu, and the burning of the cornfield is more important to him.
Twelve acres of cornfield, two gaps were burned in, it may be too late to commit the crime, and the two fires were found, and the arsonist could only hurry up and escape. There was no wind tonight, the fire spread slowly, and the damage was not very serious. About an acre of corn was burned. The other two crops were undamaged, probably because no fruiting was seen so they were ignored.
The result was still bearable, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was given at least one mu of land for each type, he would be able to provide accurate data to prove the high yield, and he would not be afraid.
Just now, because of the fire fighting, people trampled back and forth, and the arson scene has been destroyed. Moreover, when I lifted the water back and forth, even if I was very careful with my feet, I was trampled on a lot of potato vines and sweet potato vines.
Fortunately it wasn't too serious. These can only be cleaned up until dawn.
After confirming it with his own eyes, he was relieved and returned to the field. Seeing that Captain Zhang was counting the number of people, he was inconvenient to interfere. He motioned for the long-term worker and the old peasant to come over, and he wanted to consult again.
"Have you found anyone sneaking around in the past few days, or have been approaching the ground frequently several times?"
Several long-term workers bowed their heads and thought back.
The old peasant said hesitantly: "A soldier met me in the hut yesterday and asked me about some crops. Is it suspicious?"
Hearing this, he was excited, "What did you ask?"
The old farmer thought about it for a while and said, "What are you planting? Why did you send them over to protect the guards? Why are so many tall trees planted? What's the use? Well, that's about it."
"Let me recognize it, can you recognize who asked you a question?"
"It's not a long time, it should be recognizable."
