After hearing the news about Xu Dakui, Yang Ruoqing suddenly became interested.

"Where is he?" she asked.

The woman said: "He hid in the county town. He spent all his money and was kicked out by the madam from Goulan Court. He wandered on the streets of the county town for a long time. Then he quietly returned to the village last night and is hiding at home now."

"His mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu, hid him in the woodshed in the backyard, and the outside was locked."

"Even pooping and peeing are done in that woodshed. It stinks so bad. Except for the youngest son Xu Zhuang, everyone in the family knows about it. Mrs. Lu and her daughter Xu Cailing, who is full of scheming, know about it," the woman said.

He talks very fast, like a rapid-fire barrage of words. He is probably a cunning and clever person in the village.

Yang Ruoqing was happy, "You dare to come back secretly, you are so brave!"

"That's right, if he hadn't spent all his money, he probably wouldn't be willing to come back!" the woman said again.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes fell on the couple again, and she knew without asking why they knew so much in detail. They must have spent years studying this matter wholeheartedly.

"Thank you both for the clues you two provided, but since you two have rushed over to report the news, there will be no one to keep an eye on Xu Dakui. Will he go somewhere else at this time?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The woman patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Luo. When we came to report the news to you and the general, we left my parents-in-law watching over there. They will not leave even a step."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Okay, you go back to Xujiacun now and keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't run away. I'll make arrangements here and we'll be there tomorrow morning."

"Not until tomorrow morning?" the woman asked in surprise.

"Mrs. Luo, if you and the general are not free, we can tie up Xu Dakui and bring them to you. What do you think?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "You don't need to tie me up, I like to go there in person."

"But I'm afraid he'll run away. That guy Xu Dakui is very cunning..." the woman said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "That's why I let you continue to stare. Don't alert him, as long as he doesn't escape your sight."

"I still have something to do at home, and you know what it's like during the first lunar month."

The woman nodded repeatedly.

"Young lady understands that you are a noble person and a busy person, so we will go back and help you keep an eye on Xu Dakui carefully to prevent him from slipping away!" the woman said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled with satisfaction.

The woman looked at Yang Ruoqing again, but hesitated to speak.

How could Yang Ruoqing not understand what she was thinking?

"You guys wait here, I'll arrange a carriage to take you back first," she said.

He took out two taels of silver and gave it to the woman, "You take these two taels of silver for now and buy something to eat on the way. When I see Xu Dakui tomorrow, there will be a reward!"

The woman clutched the two taels of warm silver in her hand, her heart pounding with excitement.

With these two taels of silver, the family will have enough food for the first two months of spring.

Mrs. Luo also said that she would get a reward for meeting Xu Dakui tomorrow. Oh my god, the woman felt that she was not cold at all, and the hard work of traveling for most of the day had disappeared.

"Okay, okay, let's wait here. Thank you Madam Luo for the carriage." The woman bowed to Yang Ruoqing.

The man behind him also nodded and bowed, with gratitude on his face.

Yang Ruoqing turned around and entered the courtyard and told Luo Fengtang about the matter.

Luo Fengtang went to find Narisong and asked him to drive a carriage to take the couple to Qingshui Town. After arriving in Qingshui Town, he would help them hire a carriage to take them back to Xujiacun.

Of course, Yang Ruoqing also took two packs of snacks from the kitchen and asked Luo Fengtang to deliver them to the couple outside. After traveling for so long, they were probably hungry.

It's the first day of the first lunar month, so it's appropriate to give them some food.

When night fell, Risong had already driven his carriage back from the town.

He sent the carriage back to the Luo family's yard and said to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang: "Send the couple to the carriage and horse racing shop in the town, hire a carriage for them to take them away, and pay them back thousands of dollars before leaving."

Thank you very much, the general and his wife are really good people..."

Yang Ruoqing poured a bowl of hot tea and handed it to Narisong: "You are also a good person. Send them to the town in such a cold weather. Come on, good person, drink a bowl of hot tea to warm your hands."

That day Risong took the tea and thanked him.

"That couple was probably so excited by the two taels of silver that they hid in the carriage and bit their ears along the way." Narisong said with a smile.

"They thought that when the carriage was running, I couldn't hear the rumbling of the carriage and the sound of the wind. But they didn't know that I was a practitioner and my hearing was different from ordinary people. I heard everything they said!" He added

road.

"Oh? What did they say?" Yang Ruoqing also asked curiously.

"Are you thinking about what you want to buy with these two taels of silver? Or are you guessing how much silver I will reward them when you see Xu Dakui tomorrow?" she asked again.

Narisong said: "That's right, you guessed everything right."

"This family lives in the village and must be living a very difficult life. I overheard their words and I guess they have not spent the Chinese New Year at home. The couple brought dry food and water bottles and were looking for Xu Dakui outside."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to discover Xu Dakui's whereabouts in Goulan Courtyard, the county town, and follow him back to Xujia Village from the county town. Haha, you really put in the effort!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Maybe there are many people in Xujia Village who put aside the New Year like these two couples and go out to find Xu Dakui to earn the reward!"

Risong snapped his fingers that day: "You guessed it right again. I learned from their conversation that in Xujia Village, where there are more than 20 households, there are probably more than a dozen households who have sent people out to look for Xu Dakui secretly.

"

"On the surface, we are still hiding this from each other. We all don't want others to know that we are looking for him. Hahaha, this Xu Dakui has become so worrying to the whole village!"

Yang Ruoqing also smiled: "The whole village mobilized to find Xu Dakui."

Outside, Xiao An came over.

"Sister, brother-in-law, my parents sent me to call you over for dinner!" Xiao An said as she entered the door.

Luo Fengtang nodded towards Xiao An: "Okay, we'll go there right away."

When Xiao An saw Na Ri Songzai, he smiled and invited: "Brother Na Ri, you can also come and have a drink with us!"

Risong smiled and shook his head: "Thank you, no need."

Luo Fengtang also raised his hand and patted Risong on the shoulder: "Let's go there together, we are not outsiders!"

That day Risong said: "My Xiao Yaxue should have cooked dinner at home."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Then call her over and tell her that her godson is going back to Donghai tomorrow. Let her bring the baby over and have a meal together. Today, my mother specially told me to call you.

It’s over!”
