Traveling through time as a peasant girl, she goes farming with a trading system

Chapter 138
Thinking about it, Chen Zhongshu glanced at the crowd, but he didn't find Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Lian and others, so he couldn't help being suspicious.

"My lord, there is another child here. The villain snatched it from those thieves with all his might. Now no one in every village claims it. I'm afraid it's not from here!"

"Sheng Liu" stepped forward and pushed Su Mo, who was completely awake, to him. Su Mo pretended to be extremely flustered.

Since they want to find out where they hid their children, they have to really get inside, so as to get clues.

Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but their eyes turned red. Brother Du was willing to use his own children as bait for them. This kindness is truly unforgettable to them!
When Chen Zhongshu saw Su Mo, his eyes lit up immediately, and the matter of Mrs. Qin was forgotten in an instant.

"...In that case, then take the child to the county government office and ask around."

Originally, Chen Zhongshu wanted to ask about Su Mo's situation in front of everyone, but thinking that this child is not young, he was afraid that he would know everything. The dead thief appealed for justice, and things seemed troublesome, so he just left this sentence.

"Yes." "Sheng Liu" bowed his head and said.

"Since that's the case, tell everyone to disperse. I will post a notice to inform everyone that the child kidnapping case that has troubled you for two months is over. It was Xiqiao Village and people from other villages who captured the thief... The thief came from other places. I will appeal to the higher authorities to intervene in the off-site investigation and find everyone's lost children!"

Originally, he wanted to just say that this matter was over, but he thought that it was inappropriate to end this matter so early, so he simply said something more, so as to highlight his honesty and selflessness.

Everyone just echoed a few casual words, hoping that Brother Du would sneak into the interior as soon as possible and find out the news about their child.

The matter was over, Chen Zhongshu nodded in satisfaction, sat in the sedan chair, and headed home.

"Sheng Liu" followed up with several officials and Su Mo. Before leaving, he turned his head and nodded goodbye to Jia Lan and the villagers, and finally his eyes stayed on Su Juan.

Su Juan clutched her handkerchief and looked at him and Su Mo beside him worriedly.

Du Chenyu winked at her, then put his hand on Su Mo's shoulder, expressing that he would take good care of Su Mo.

County magistrate Chen was not walking fast in the sedan chair, so Du Chenyu deliberately distanced himself from him, and quietly asked the surrounding officials about Sheng Liu's temperament, preferences, residence and family.

The few officials were not stingy, and told Du Chenyu almost everything they could think of.

Du Chenyu silently remembered that he was good at drinking, gambling, and lust, and that the key person was an outsider. He didn't have any relatives here, and there was only a small house in the east of the city.

Instead, you can go clean up first and bring Juan'er over.

Following County Magistrate Chen to the county government office, Chen Zhongshu closed the door and glanced at Su Mo who was beside "Sheng Liu", nodded in appreciation and said, "Liu'er, you did a good job this time, thank you for your hard work last night!"

"Being able to serve an adult is a blessing for a villain. It's not hard...heh, it's not hard..."

Hearing that the official said that Sheng Liu was extremely flattering and ingratiating to County Magistrate Chen, Du Chenyu also made a disgusted look and flattered him.

County magistrate Chen was very satisfied, "Well, lock this child up with the other children and put it in a box in two days. You will escort your wife to Nanyang City and hand over the box to the top. Our mission is to take care of this matter." finished."

Du Chenyu thumped, shut up?Where does it go?lady?Which lady?above?Are you referring to the magistrate of Nanyang City?

Du Chenyu hesitated, and deliberately pretended to be sleepy, "My lord, I've been busy all night, I'm too sleepy, why don't you let someone take this child with me?"

Chen Zhongshu glanced at him and scolded him, "It's just stuffing it in a tunnel near your house. How much effort would it take? Do you still want to do it? Do you want to pay for it?"

typical?Where is it authentic?Du Chenyu pretended to be in a daze, and nodded repeatedly in response, "Think about it...I'll go right away!"

Du Chenyu pulled Su Mo and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhong slapped the table in a bookish manner, "He has fascinated you, and you take him out in such a fair manner, what will people say?"

Chen Zhongshu threw the rag on the table mixed with sweat medicine, Du Chenyu paused, winked at Su Mo, then covered Chen Zhongshu's gaze with his body, and pulled Su Mo over.

Su Mo struggled for a moment, and fell directly into Du Chenyu's arms.

Holding Su Mo up, Chen Zhongshu had already opened the secret door for him, signaling him to go in quickly.

It was only then that Du Chenyu realized that the county government office had already had its own secrets.

Going down from the secret passage, in the narrow channel that can only accommodate two people side by side, a torch is inserted every ten meters, illuminating the secret passage in a strange way.

At the end of the walk, a prison cell appeared in front of us. A group of gray-faced children were surrounded by wooden railings. Several children were awake, and when they saw him, they huddled in the corner in fear, whimpering softly.

Du Chenyu saw it, and his heart was seized all of a sudden, these people are simply a bunch of animals!
Looking around, there was no one else here except them. He put Su Mo down and whispered to him, "I will put you with these children now, try to comfort them, and I will contact the good people , come pick you up again."

Su Mo stood up straight and nodded heavily.

Du Chenyu took out a bunch of keys from his body, tried them one by one, and opened the door. When the children who were awake saw Du Chenyu, they screamed in fright, and the sound woke up the sleeping children again. Cries and screams resounded throughout the tunnel.

Several older children saw Du Chenyu muster up the courage to rush up and bite his arm and thigh fiercely. Du Chenyu groaned from being bitten, but he didn't shake them off, just gently biting his arm and thigh. Pat them on the back.

Even so, the older children still didn't let go. Seeing this, Su Mo hurried forward to push them away.

"What are you doing? He's a bad guy. What are you doing to help a bad guy?"

One of the boys, who was about Su Mo's age, was pushed to the ground by Su Mo and stared at him fiercely.

"He's not a bad guy, he'll let us out."

"You're talking nonsense, if he wasn't a bad guy, he would have let us out!"

The boy stared at Su Mo fiercely and clenched his fists.

Su Mo looked into his eyes, pulled him over suddenly, and whispered something in his ear.

"Really..." After hearing Su Mo's words, the boy raised his head in disbelief.

"It's true, I can guarantee it, if it's not true, you will beat me to death!"

"Okay, I believe you, I hope you don't let me down!"

The boy glanced at Du Chenyu, then at Su Mo, and nodded cautiously as if choosing his fate.

"Don't worry, I'll let you see your parents." Du Chenyu looked around and whispered.

The children who bit him saw that Du Chenyu didn't hit them like before, but let him bite, and spoke to them softly in such a peaceful voice, they slowly let go of their guards and opened their mouths .

"You feel wronged and stay here first, I'll ask someone to get you some food, and then I'll take you out."

For fear of being suspicious, Du Chenyu comforted them, then walked out of the cell, and left the cell door ajar without locking it.

There was a wooden door next to it. Du Chenyu opened it and saw another secret passage inside. He couldn't help but think of Chen Zhongshu's words that the dungeon was near his home. He thought that this secret passage led to Sheng Liu's house.
