Farming and reading family
Chapter 536 It’s definitely not simple
Gao E didn't expect Xu Boyan to still think about her, and she immediately said goodbye when she heard him say that.
There are few people at home today. Lianxin accompanies Gao E. Yu Zhao and Luo Dagang take turns to keep watch, and ask He to deliver bedding to Xu Boyan and the others.
"The Chen family didn't even provide me with a room." Zhu Mo complained.
Xu Boyan looked at the night outside.
He had seen this dark night countless times, and every time he felt that the Tao family was looming over his head. Sooner or later, he would tear this night apart.
So he can't make any mistakes.
But because of the 36,000 taels of silver, he ended up here somehow.
Because the 36,000 taels of silver were a surprise to him, and he would not allow any surprises to happen.
Now he feels that he may have to face many unexpected events.
There was no conversation that night. When the rooster crowed three times, Xu Boyan took Zhu Mo away.
Gao E got up when she heard the noise and saw Lianxin already packing up the bedding they had used.
When it was time for breakfast, Gao E brought Lian Xin to deliver breakfast to Chen Ke and the others, and called Chen Ke aside.
"What's the matter, madam?" Chen Ke asked in a low voice.
His wife suddenly arranged for all the children to live in the school, saying that it was to let the children experience the school atmosphere, but he always felt that there was something else going on.
"The night before last, all of Li Quan's family members in He County were killed, even the temporary workers in the family were killed." Gao E said in a low voice.
Chen Ke was stunned, not knowing why his wife suddenly said this.
Besides, Li Quan had taken all his relatives to Qinzhou City, and those left in He County were just some cousins with ordinary relationships. Was their murder really related to Li Quan?
Gao E saw that Chen Ke was unable to react: "Before, Li Quan brought a powerful person to our place and sent people to smash up my third brother's snack bar..."
Chen Ke suddenly realized that he had heard a little about this matter: "It's a long time ago."
"That powerful man met with an accident in He County. I heard that he almost lost his life. It was Lord Xu who sent him back personally." Gao E said solemnly.
Chen Ke suddenly became serious: "Madam, are you saying that the murder of the Li family is related to this incident?"
"It might be related. Lord Xu went to our house yesterday and stayed there all night, saying he wanted to catch the murderer."
Chen Ke was nervous: "Master Xu is suspicious of our family?"
Gao E wondered if she hadn't expressed herself clearly.
How could Chen Ke have such a misunderstanding?
"No, Lord Xu is worried that anyone related to that powerful person will be implicated, so he wants to wait and see in our house." Gao E explained.
Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good."
Gao E was worried: "Although I asked Luo Dagang and Yu Zhao to come, it's not good for me to greet Master Xu at home. If Master Xu comes again today, my husband will have to come out to greet him."
"Of course I should." Although Chen Ke was a little scared, he still agreed to it.
Xu Boyan slept for a whole morning and felt completely refreshed. When he came out, he saw Bai Hao already waiting outside.
"How is it?" Xu Boyan sat down and drank tea.
"These people should have died at the hands of one person. No suspicious person has been found in He County so far." Bai Hao reported.
"There shouldn't be such a master under Yishunbo's command, and Marquis Jingyang is unlikely to take action. Check if there is anyone in the martial arts world who can take on this matter." Xu Boyan ordered.
"He County is so remote, it will take a long time to investigate." Bai Hao was embarrassed.
Xu Boyan glanced at Bai Hao and said, "Even though Yishunbo is nothing, but removing Yishunbo will make Jingyang Hou unhappy."
Bai Hao nodded.
Xu Boyan didn't want to take action against Yi Shunbo so quickly, but Yi Shunbo actually ran in front of him, so he decided to deal with him.
"Then are you going to Baotou Village tonight?" Bai Hao asked tentatively.
"Go." Xu Boyan said directly.
At night, Gao E went to Luo Dagang's house and lived with Luo Qing'er. Chen Ke stayed at home. After dark, Xu Boyan brought Zhu Mo to Chen's house. When they entered the house, they saw Chen Ke who was very respectful.
Xu Boyan sneered, not knowing how Gao E could get a man like her, who knew nothing, to come back.
"Mr. Xu, thank you for your hard work in apprehending the murderer. I have prepared some wine, please accept it." Chen Kegong invited.
The main room was already filled with food and wine, which looked sumptuous, but seemed a little lacking compared to the ordinary meals of the Chen family.
"Sit down and eat together." Xu Boyan sat down steadily.
"I'll just stand there." Chen Ke didn't dare.
"I asked you to sit down. Do you have any other ideas?" Xu Boyan looked at Chen Ke.
"I dare not, I dare not." Chen Ke had no choice but to sit down carefully.
Xu Boyan glanced at Chen Ke and asked, "How much do you know about the Li family?"
Chen Ke put down his chopsticks in a hurry.
"Talk while eating." Xu Boyan said casually.
Chen Ke had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks cautiously. "Although Li Quan and I were classmates, we didn't have much in common. I only found out about his cousin and my niece later. As for Li Xiao's subsequent exile, it was because he attempted to kidnap Luo Qing'er in the street first."
Hearing the name Luo Qing'er, Xu Boyan's hand paused for a moment, then returned to normal: "Has Luo Qing'er been at your house all this time?"
"No, she and her elder brother are from He County. There was a flood in my house before and her elder brother died. My wife was kind-hearted and let them stay in the village." Chen Ke explained.
"Are they from He County?" Xu Boyan asked casually.
"It should be..." Chen Ke was unsure.
"What do you mean by should be?" Xu Boyan felt that Chen Ke was not rigorous.
Chen Ke was so frightened that he almost stood up: "Their current household registration is in He County. As for where their hometown is, or where their ancestors came from, there is no way to know."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually." Xu Boyan felt bored. "Then how did Mr. Du come to your village?"
Chen Ke's eyes flickered. "I've long heard of Mr. Du's talent and came to visit him. Mr. Du was very interested in our village's flood preparedness measures, so he came here."
"You're not leaving now?" Xu Boyan joked, "Your village of Batou isn't a famous scenic spot."
"Before... he made a bet with my wife that he would stay if she could make paper." Chen Ke said in a low voice.
"Your wife did it?" Xu Boyan was surprised.
"Yes, although it is rough and unusable, it was made." Chen Ke didn't know why Lord Xu asked these questions.
"I heard that He County was hit by an epidemic, and you offered a prescription to save He County from the epidemic?" Xu Boyan looked at Chen Ke.
Chen Ke was confused: "My wife found it in a book I read. The situation was critical at the time, so we tried our best to save the situation."
"Are you sure your wife found it in the book you read?" Xu Boyan looked at Chen Ke.
Chen Ke felt uneasy when Xu Boyan stared at him. "That's what my wife said, but I don't remember much. Maybe my memory is not as good as yours."
Xu Boyan laughed when he heard Chen Ke say this. Chen Ke was not completely useless. At least he was easy to deceive.
However, he became more and more interested in Gao E. This woman was definitely not simple.
