After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The missing person is Wei Ting!

He is also the top scorer in the county case and is extremely talented. He also participated in the poetry meeting last night, but he has not returned to the Sunny Day Inn where he is staying.

At Sunny Day Inn, his fellow villagers couldn't find him, so they reported him to the police.

Now the government has to question all those who participate in the poetry meeting.

The inn was noisy and the Qin Yan family was alarmed, but it had nothing to do with them, so they found a seat in the hall and watched the fun.

The six students who attended the poetry meeting last night were brought out by the yamen runners and questioned one by one.

"Did you see Mr. Wei yesterday? When did you see him? What was he doing at the time? When was the last time you saw him? When did you return?"

Six people are hungover, so this is going to be a bit of a headache.

But he still cooperated and said whatever he wanted to say.

They did attend the poetry reading, but they were not very talented and their main purpose was to make connections. They just said hello to Wei Ting, but nothing else.

So the bailiff asked them to sign and seal their names, and then left.

Before leaving, he said, "Before the provincial examination begins, gentlemen, please do not leave the inn at will. We may come to question you at any time."

The six people looked unhappy, but still agreed.

They were just there to recite poems, how did they get into trouble like this?

Fang Tong also frowned: "It always feels like a conspiracy. Didn't that guy surnamed Wei say that he had a high chance of taking first place in the provincial examination? He's missing, so..."

Others with similar reputation and strength will have a chance.

Fang Tong swallowed his saliva. How could there be conspiracy and intrigue in a provincial examination?

"Dad." Qin Yan spoke, interrupting him.

Fang Tong glanced at the various people in the inn hall, understood, and said nothing more.

No matter what, losing a candidate before the provincial examination is a big deal.

The government office takes this matter very seriously. The prefect is very upset. Last time during the prefectural examination, there was a riot by refugees, and then cheating in the imperial examination. Now what is going on again this time?

How come all the monsters and demons are under his rule?

The government took such a big action that it couldn't be concealed, and soon most of the people knew about it.

Everyone was talking about it.

"In my opinion, the one with the surname Liu is the most suspicious. He's not studying for the exam properly, but is just messing around with poetry."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Young Master Liu's father is an official. When the time comes, the officials will protect each other."

"I don't think it's that serious. A man who gets drunk and goes to a brothel to have some fun is not a big deal if he doesn't come back all night."

"I don't think so. If they really want to go to the brothel, will the fellow villagers report it? Will the government accept it?"

Fang Tong, who came out to take his children shopping, was still happy to listen to these gossips.

He never talks, just listens, but he can already receive a lot of information.

For example, Wei Ting was the son of a local gentry, a fellow villager who reported to the officials, and a scholar sponsored by the Wei family. This was why he was so concerned.

If Wei Ting cannot be found before the provincial examination, this fellow villager might be blamed by the Wei family. What bad luck.

"Today's new dish in our shop is grilled venison! Freshly slaughtered venison, the meat is delicious!"

Fang Nanzhi and the second uncle looked over immediately and saw the whole building was drunk!

The two of them dragged their father, who was unable to walk after hearing the gossip, towards Zuimanlou.

"Little brother, how much is the roasted venison?" Fang Nanzhi's voice was loud and clear.

The waiter was startled, then lowered his head to meet the girl's bright eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Sir, five hundred coins per plate."

What?

Fang Tong was instantly pricked up. Beef was only selling for eighty cents per pound. This restaurant was robbing people.

"Two plates!" Fang Nanzhi waved his hand arrogantly.

"Okay!" The waiter agreed immediately and went to the kitchen to report.

Fang Tong was anxious, two plates cost one tael of silver.

"My daughter, this is not the way to spend money. If you give me one ounce, I can cook you twenty different dishes."

Fang Nanzhi put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "Dad, we agreed before we left that you have to listen to me about what to buy."

Fang Yin nodded aside: "Brother, listen to your niece."

Fang Tong was helpless. Alas, it was the girl who earned the money herself.

The waiter quickly packed two portions of roasted venison and brought them over, and the three of them went straight to the street to find other delicious food.

"Fresh lychees, five taels of silver per pound!"

Lychee? She had never eaten it before. Fang Nanzhi squeezed over there.

Fang Tong covered his chest with his hands and said, "What the hell is worth five taels?"

"Lychee, isn't this an offering? Boss, you have a wide range of channels." A knowledgeable man in the crowd said.

The shopkeeper smiled kindly, "Sir, you're joking! Even if I had eight hundred guts, I wouldn't dare sell tribute. These lychees and the tribute are not from the same place of origin. But the taste is similar. These lychees are loved by the nobles in the palace. Would you like to buy some to try?"

Fang Nanzhi nodded repeatedly. It was a tribute. Although this was not it, it was of the same kind. She would try it.

The little girl quickly paid the money, and Fang Yin stretched out his big hand to take the lychees. The two of them cooperated very well.

Fang Tong fell into deep thought. No, it must be the wrong street he was walking on today.

Looking around again, I saw that most of the people around were wearing long gowns, and they were all accompanied by servants or maids.

So this is the street where the rich and powerful come. No wonder there is everything here and the prices are so high.

He made a quick decision and pulled his daughter along: "Have you bought anything? Come on, Daddy will take you to a place with more delicious food."

Fang Nanzhi followed subconsciously, walked into the alley, and turned two streets.

Then there were shouts.

"Big meat buns, three cents each!"

"Roujiamo, five cents! Mutton soup, ten cents. Good quality and cheap!"

"Country eggs, three for two cents!"

Fang Tong listened and felt relieved. Yes! This is the place that suits them.

Fang Nanzhi and the others saw that it was indeed more lively here and there were more people. They all thought that their father/brother was really amazing. They knew every place in the city after only two visits.

The two of them went shopping happily, not noticing anything was wrong.

Even if they bought glutinous rice cakes, green rice balls, beef rice noodles and so on, a bunch of food, it only cost less than 200 coins.

The three of them returned to Chunfeng Inn happily.

I opened the things I bought and filled up two tables.

Qian Fengping was silent for a moment. How long would it take to finish the meal?

Fang Tong slapped his head and said, "Brother Yan, try eating one or two light dishes. Don't eat too many different things."

Candidates should not eat too much meat and fish, otherwise they will get diarrhea if they don’t eat well.

Qin Yan smelled the various aromas, took a deep breath, and nodded.

He had wontons and meatloaf.

The first thing Fang Nanzhi and the others ate was definitely roasted venison! After all, it was expensive! After Fang Tong tasted a chopstick, he had to admit that it was expensive for a reason.

So he grabbed the food from his second brother and daughter without any hesitation.

Qian Fengping frowned. Could it be that Fang Tong was really a little weak? This venison is very nutritious. How about buying him some medicine later?

With Fang Yin there, the two pots of venison were quickly finished.

Then start moving on to other cuisines.

It must be said that Fang Yin's strength was well-earned. He could eat as much as five people. He ate only half of the food he bought.

Fang Yin still wanted to eat, but when Fang Nanzhi touched his stomach, it was bloated.
