Chapter 266 Why are you here?

The old eunuch looked at Xia Daohua's face. He had seen countless people, and he could naturally see the nonchalance and calmness underneath Xia Daohua's smiling face.

This kid seems to be really reliable.

She has already checked her relationship with Li Gan and Gu Mingzhen.

Although there is a sense of friendship, it is not too deep. What's more, water far away cannot quench the thirst of the near. Even if they want to take care of this girl, they are still far away after all.

As for County Magistrate Yang and the Wang family, they only have a cooperative relationship with her and do not have a deep friendship with her. They must not offend themselves for her sake.

This girl must have something else to rely on.

It's a pity that the people under his command are all useless! After more than half a month of investigation, they can't even find out who this girl really relies on!

The old eunuch had many complicated thoughts in his mind, but the expression on his face was always calm and a bit cold, as if he didn't care much about the little girl in front of him.

But Xia Daohua knew that he was just pretending.

If he really didn't care about him, then why did he go to such great lengths to capture him? Why did he need to come forward and meet him in person?

He must have something he wants from himself, or at least be curious about it.

Summer rice flowers calm the mind and relax.

Linghua is staying in the space safely. If the form is not right, he can hide at any time. What is so scary about the person in front of him?

The old eunuch was annoyed for a while, but finally collected his emotions and asked directly:

"Where did you buy the food?"

"Kyoto!"

"Impossible! The grain business in Kyoto is all controlled by King Huai'an. Without his nod, no grain store would dare to sell so much goods!"

"So, my father-in-law is actually from the King of Huai'an?"

The old eunuch's face changed: "What are you talking about? Our family is from the Holy Sage! Our family grew up with the Holy Sage, and our loyalty to the Holy Sage can be learned every day!"

Xia Daohua cupped her hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry. Then, I would like to ask you to come to me as a 'guest'. Is this the Holy One's intention, or is it your own decision?"

"It's me..." Halfway through his words, the old eunuch stopped angrily and snorted coldly at Xia Daohua.

He had already realized that he had been inadvertently put in a position by this little girl. Following her words, he was led along the way by her like a puppet on strings.

Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up now.

Even though I did this on my own initiative, if I accomplished it, the Holy Spirit might not praise me for doing a good job!

The old eunuch stared at Xia Daohua and gasped several times before calming down and regaining his expressionless expression:

"Little girl, don't just rely on our good temper and try to trick you into getting past the situation! If our family asks you, you should answer honestly!"

Xia Daohua smiled and said: "I answered honestly, but you don't believe me. What can I do? If I didn't purchase it from Kyoto, why don't you tell me where my food comes from?"

The old eunuch was paused by the question, and once again felt an emotion that was almost irritating and angry.

Yes, if this girl didn't buy it from Kyoto, where could she buy the food?

However, although the grain stores in Kyoto were controlled by King Huai'an, there were also several spies from the imperial court where they should be placed.

There is no way that so many goods were shipped and they were not even aware of it!

Xia Daohua watched the old eunuch's mood changes calmly, holding back a smile and asked:

"I haven't asked yet, how should I call my father-in-law?"

"Just call me Eunuch Wei."

When Xia Daohua heard the words "Eunuch Wei", she immediately thought of the legendary nine thousand years old.

But the Great Chu is obviously not the Ming Dynasty, although the Great Chu, like the late Ming Dynasty, is beset by crises, heroes are rising together, and there are countless internal and external troubles.

But compared to the Ming Dynasty, Da Chu was really far behind.

Da Chu controlled less than two-thirds of the territory of Ming Dynasty, and now it has lost Bohai County. It seems that there are several princes, including those from the same ancestor and those with different surnames who were enfeoffed due to merit, who are all secretly making small moves.

.

Li Gan has been very busy recently and hasn't written to himself for a while.

The Eunuch Wei in front of me is not the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian.

At least his emotions and attitudes are traceable, and he is far less perverted than the legendary Old Wei.

Eunuch Wei looked at Xia Daohua's expression and suddenly sighed.

This girl must have a secret.

But how can this secret be found out? Does it have to be punished?

Xia Daohua and Linghua went out to eat, and their families knew about it.

But both children are sensible. Even if they forget to play one day and delay the time of lighting the lamp, they will be home.

Since moving to Jixiang County, Xia Daohua has never stayed home all night.

Seeing that Xia Daohua and Linghua couldn't come back after eating, the four members of the Xia family went to the store to look for them.

Xia Youtian asked Daohuaxiang's clerk and found out that Xia Daohua took his girl out to eat and never came back, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Xia Youtian and Mrs. Jiang asked Lihua to go home and take care of Sophora japonica. The couple lit up lanterns and called Daohua and Linghua's names while looking for people in several alleys near their home.

I have been searching for nearly two hours, searching all the places near and far where Xia Daohua often goes, but I still found nothing.

The couple was anxious, but seeing that it was almost curfew time, they had no choice but to go home first.

After all, two little girls disappeared in the middle of the night. Whether or not such a thing should be reported to the official had to be considered again.

The whole family stayed up all night.

Early the next morning, Xia Youtian went to the courtyard and told his family about the disappearance of their two children, Xia Daohua and Linghua.

The academy and the Enlightenment School also sent Saburo and Shiro to report the news.

Sister-in-law Jiang and Xia Erlang also mobilized their resources and went around to find people and find out where Xia Daohua was.

Si Xi, the eldest maid sent by the Wang family to look for Xia Daohua, arrived at Daohuaxiang and found that the faces of the servants were not very good. When she asked, she found out that Xia Daohua was missing.

Si Xi suddenly blurted out: "When did you disappear? Why didn't you report it to the official?"

The waiter was reluctant to answer, but as soon as Si Xi's words came out, he came to his senses.

The Xia family must be concerned that the two young ladies did not return home at night. This kind of thing is not easy to talk about, and it is inconvenient to spread it.

Since you don't want to make public, you naturally don't want to report to the official.

But the food at the warehouse has been shipped out, and the number of 100,000 shi is still more than half short!

If the summer rice flowers cannot be found in time, where can we find this food?

Si Xi couldn't help but wonder, could Xia Daohua have escaped with the money?

But then I thought about it, even if Xia Daohua really rolled up the money and wanted to run away, why did she only take Linghua with her but left the rest of her family behind?

With this thought in mind, Sixi did not blame Daohuaxiang's clerk or go to the Xia family. Instead, she went directly back to Yang's house to report to the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Wang.

It was up to Wang to decide how to treat the Xia family.

When Sixi and Wang reported back, Magistrate Yang happened to be there, so all the detectives from Jixiang County were immediately sent out, and everyone was so busy that they were overwhelmed.

Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.^_^
