The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"who is it?"

Wen Yan said anxiously that this matter was very important to His Highness, and if he could find the son of the General of Cavalry first, he could ask him to do him a favor.

Moreover, when he heard the report from the spy, he felt that Guojia Village was hiding something, but the woman's behavior just now was very normal, so he thought it was his illusion.

The blind man said, "It's the family at the foot of the village. Their surname is Guo, and their name is Guo Dagui. It seems that his parents picked up a child, but it's not clear whether they really did. If you want to know, you can only ask him. I heard that his parents left him and his wife alone before they died, so he should know something."

Because he was blind, he seldom went down the mountain. If he counted carefully, it was probably more than half a year since he had gone down the mountain. Therefore, he had no idea about the changes in the village during these days.

"Thank you very much." Zhao He left a tael of silver and left.

……

Going down the mountain was much faster than going up, and with Wen Yan muttering beside him, it seemed that time passed even faster.

"Master, I told you there's something wrong with this village. The woman down there really didn't tell the truth. I don't know what she's up to."

"If it weren't for the kindness of the blind uncle, or if he hadn't received the news, and told us that there was an orphan in the village, how would we have known about it~ But the silver the master gave just now can be regarded as a reward for him."

"I don't know if Guo Dagui at the foot of the mountain really knows about the lost child. If he doesn't know, I don't know where to find him..."

Pei Yuanxian couldn't help it and said impatiently: "Enough, shut up! Why do you always talk so much every time you come out? Can't you be quiet? I don't know why Sixth Brother chose you to be his servant."

Wen Yan felt humiliated and didn't dare to say another word.

Zhao He kept walking in front, with something on his mind, and the noise of fighting did not register with him.

After Zhao He came down the mountain, he grabbed a working uncle at random, handed him half a tael of silver, and asked, "Where is Guo Dagui's home?"

Seeing that there was more money in his hand and Zhao He was so anxious, the uncle thought that it was someone from the gambling house who came to visit him, so he pointed and said, "It's the one with the most houses at the foot of the mountain over there."

Zhao He nodded and went straight to the house.

"Is Guo Dagui at home?"

Mrs. Guo was tidying up the house. When she heard this, she couldn't help but curse, "Who the hell is this! You keep calling me Guo Dagui. Aren't you annoying? Didn't I tell you that he's been in jail for a long time? He doesn't even have money when he asks me for it!"

"It's just..."

When he opened the door, he saw a noble young man. The people following him did not look like they were from the gambling house. He stopped cursing and asked, "What do you want from my wife?"

Wen Yan frowned as he looked at the rude woman in front of him. Just as he was about to explain his purpose, he heard his master speaking.

"I want to ask Guo Dagui something. I heard that he is the only one who knows the most about this matter." Zhao He said with a smile, as if he was not affected by the woman's rudeness before.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Guo asked impatiently.

"It's about a lost boy who should be over 40 years old now." Zhao He said.

Hearing this, Guo Bo Niang's face changed. She didn't want to say anything more and planned to close the door directly. Pei Yuan stretched out her hand to stop her. Guo Bo Niang glared at Pei Yuan and pushed hard again, but the door didn't move at all.

"Sir, what do you want to do? Even if you are powerful, it's not good to just break into a private house, right?"

Normally, Mrs. Guo would not have dared to do so, but now she saw that these young men were all very polite and thought they were very abiding by etiquette. In addition, her parents had repeatedly warned her before they died that this matter must not be known to anyone, so she yelled at the man directly.

"If you answer our questions carefully, we will naturally treat you with courtesy. But now it is obvious that you are not cooperating at all. If this is the case, we will have to use our weapons!" Pei Yuan shook the sword at his waist and warned.

Seeing that the three men outside the door refused to budge, Guo Bo Niang said, "Then let's go inside and talk."

Having said that, he turned and went into the house.

Zhao He entered the house and said, "What do you know? If you tell me the truth, I will give you a generous gift."

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "What can I know? I am a woman and I have only heard some rumors."

Zhao He said nothing and stared at Aunt Guo.

A powerful pressure came over her, and Guo Bo Niang took a deep breath and said, "I don't know much, just a little."

"What is it?"

"My mother-in-law did bring back a baby boy when she was young. I hadn't married yet at that time, so I heard this from the people in the village. My mother-in-law was five months pregnant at the time, but she went out to work and brought back a chubby boy within a month."

"Everyone in the village was speculating whether it was my mother-in-law's biological child. I had just married and asked my mother-in-law about it. She said that she almost couldn't keep the baby, so she asked a quack doctor to help her give birth to the child. She also used some medicine, and now the baby looks plump and white, not like a premature baby."

Having said this, Mrs. Guo stopped talking.

Zhao He asked: "What about the baby? Where is it now?"

Aunt Guo said: "If you want to know, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Pei Yuan was so angry that he cursed: "You woman, you are simply a fool. Do you know that your behavior violates the law? If I report it to the police, you will suffer a bad fate!"

"And if I ask around the village about the information you mentioned, I'm afraid they would all know it."

Mrs. Guo smiled, leaned back in her chair, and said in a very relaxed manner, "What can you find out in the village? I'm afraid they didn't even reveal it to me, right?"

She had received news a few days ago asking them not to go out, lest they be caught. After all, the people in Guojia Village knew about the situation but kept silent about it. If you insist on making it a point, all these people will have to die!

"Besides, people outside the village only know a few words, and most of them are just guesses. How can they know as much as I do? If you really want to know, just agree to my request."

Zhao He looked at Aunt Guo and knew that what she said was unreasonable. If he caught the woman in front of him and tortured her, he could naturally ask what he wanted. However, killing her would be too severe, so he asked, "What do you want?"

Mother Guo said proudly: "Give me a two-story house in Suining City, fifty taels of silver, and release my husband from prison!"

She didn't believe that the man in front of her didn't have the capital. The clothes he was wearing were much more luxurious than those worn by the prefect she had the honor of seeing in the capital city before. He also had personal guards and servants following him. She was probably either rich or noble.

The house with two entrances is owned by that dead girl Guo Xin in the capital city, so naturally she wants one too!

"Don't go too far!" Pei Yuan rushed forward and growled.
