Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Zhao Chongqing shook his head and threw away the strange thoughts in his mind.

He turned to look at Leng Yuze and the others, "Second Uncle Leng, Fourth Uncle Leng, since you still have things to do, I will take Aunt Cui to the inn first."

"Why go to an inn? Just stay here." After saying that, Leng Yuze waved his hand, and two servants appeared behind them.

Zhao Chongqing: "Isn't this inappropriate?" This is the county government office, and it is somewhat inappropriate for them to live here without official status.

"What's wrong with that? Just listen to your second uncle Leng." Leng Yuheng and Leng Yuze said indifferently.

Seeing their firm attitude, Zhao Chongqing did not dare to make a decision easily. He glanced at Cui'er, and Cui'er nodded at him.

Seeing Cui'er agreed, Zhao Chongqing clasped his fists towards the two of them and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Second Uncle Leng and Fourth Uncle Leng."

Yan Niang listened to what they said calmly.

My eyebrows couldn't help but raise,

I wondered in my heart: What are the origins of these two people in front of me? Why do Leng Yuze and others treat them like this?

I quietly made up my mind that I must tell Qin Zhaohai when I get back.

Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily fell on Cui'er again.

From the first sight, she felt that this woman gave her a sense of familiarity.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.

Perhaps her gaze was too direct, and her actions caused other people in the lobby to take a second look at her.

Cui'er also noticed the gaze coming from behind.

Turn your head.

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Yan Niang quickly looked away.

He lowered his head and continued to look as pitiful as before.

Seeing that she was about to start crying again, Leng Yuheng quickly stopped her, "Okay, sister-in-law, now is not the time to be sad. If you want to save your son, you have to cooperate with us. Now let's go check the crime scene first!"

The two men took their men to search Zhuang Village inside and out.

The result is that nothing is gained.

The two men returned to the county government office and sat in the yard with sad faces.

"Hey, second brother, what's going on? How could a good person just disappear?"

"Who knows? But I think maybe this was done by someone in the village. Otherwise, how can we explain that out of so many children in the village, only Yan Niang's child was lost?"

The more they thought about it, the more they believed it to be the case. They also instructed the yamen runners who were sent to investigate the case to pay more attention to the situation of the villagers.

The person who started all this had no idea that she was causing trouble for her two brothers.

At this moment, she was sitting on the corridor in her courtyard, admiring the snow scene.

It's already March, and it's still snowing in the north city.

Snowflakes fluttered down, she stretched out her hand and caught them, the snowflakes fell into her palm and quickly turned into water.

The voice was muffled: "Tianze, what's going on with Qin Zhaohai? Why is there no news after such a long time? Fifth brother..."

She has been having nightmares these past two days, and in her dreams she always sees her fifth brother being murdered.

Every time she woke up, she was too scared to go back to sleep, fearing that everything in her nightmare would come true.

Li Tianze patted her shoulder and sat down beside her. He wiped her hand clean and gently placed it in his arms. "Don't worry, since Qin Zhaohai has captured the fifth brother, he won't let him die easily."

You will definitely have to suffer the consequences, but I don’t know how severe the suffering will be.

Of course, he didn't dare say this out loud, otherwise his wife would probably not be able to sleep tonight.

Leng Youran's right hand was held in Li Tianze's arms. She could only curl up her knees, supporting them with her left hand, and tilted her head to look at him. "Do you think we've overlooked something?"

"What's the matter?" Li Tianze looked at him suspiciously.

"We did all this based on Qin Zhaohai's plan to capture the Fifth Brother. What if he wasn't the one who captured the Fifth Brother?"

Li Tianze shook his head. "I thought so before, but after thinking about what you said over the past two days, I think he was the one who arrested the fifth brother."

"Why are you so sure?"

"First of all, Fifth Brother's trip to Zhuang Township was definitely not accidental. Someone must have mentioned something to him. If, if someone told Fifth Brother that there was someone in Zhuang Township who looked like Qin Zihao, do you think, given Fifth Brother's personality, would he be tempted to go and find out?"

"Qin Zihao and his brothers have all seen him."

"I've also told my eldest brother that besides him, Qin Zhaohai and several other children out there all have the same big forehead as him, which is very easy to recognize."

"If, if the eldest brother really told the second and fifth brothers about this matter, I'm sure that if the fifth brother heard such news, he would definitely want to find out the truth."

"The most important thing is, when you went to investigate that day, didn't you clearly hear that woman named Yan Niang telling Qin Sui'an that his father would be back in a couple of days to check on his schoolwork?"

"If she really said that, then Qin Zhaohai must have been there two days ago. Calculating the time, wouldn't that be the date Fifth Brother disappeared?"

Leng Youran nodded, thinking what he said made sense. "Then maybe we were too secretive, so Qin Zhaohai didn't even think it was us. Otherwise, why hasn't he reacted yet?"

Qin Suian has been captured for two days. According to the time, if Qin Zhaohai is in Liaodong, he should have gone to Zhuang Township.

You should have noticed he was missing!

How come there is still no news for so long?

Li Tianze frowned at her words, "You're right. Putting aside the child, Jiang Chunan and General Xihu have been missing for a few days. Logically, it shouldn't be so quiet."

The army did not retreat because they understood the marching method of the North City and would not take the initiative to attack.

Two generals disappeared on the battlefield for no reason, it shouldn't be so peaceful.

It seemed like they only made a symbolic search two days ago, and then there was no movement.

Leng Youran: "The two lieutenant generals of the enemy army must know that their general's disappearance is related to us. They dare not take action because they are afraid that they can't defeat us. Do you think they are waiting for Chu Weian's order?"

Li Tianze nodded. "That makes sense. After all, the Eastern Jin army was sent by Chu Weian. If the commander-in-chief is missing, the deputy commander must have informed him first."

"In that case, don't we have to wait for them to contact Chu Weian? Moreover, even if they contact Chu Weian, we don't know whether Chu Weian will inform Qin Zhaohai. Then Fifth Brother..." How can it be okay?

Is it necessary for them to do all this?

Li Tianze fell silent.

All their previous plans were based on Qin Zhaohai's ability to understand the situation of the army.

If Qin Zhaohai couldn't get the news from this side, then everything they did would be in vain.

Leng Youran suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He quickly pulled his hand away from his chest and slapped his thigh. "No, waiting like this is not a solution. Since these deputy generals can't deliver the message to Qin Zhaohai, then we have to find someone who can."
