Chapter 204 I don’t know
Chapter 204 I don’t know
It was hard to say where they were going. All they knew was that there was no night there and the temperature was always constant. They themselves didn't know how they got there. They only knew that the maid waved her hand and they disappeared inexplicably.
Who could believe this? She vanished with a wave of her hand. Could this maid be a deity? How could a deity die?
As for the four dead people, the murder weapons were not found at first. Later, a doctor was called in, and they took out several golden objects about three centimeters long from their bodies. He couldn't even describe the objects.
I found someone who knew about hidden weapons, but he couldn't tell what this thing was. He only knew that it was made of copper.
Han Ping was really puzzled by what happened last night. How did so many things get transported to the Shangshu Mansion? How could such a small thing take a life?
Because the one who died was the maid, he thought that it was most likely done by Huo Xi, so he had no choice but to ask Huo Xi, and buying vegetables was just a pretext.
"What happened last night?" Huo asked slowly after taking a sip of herbal tea.
"Can you please stop playing dumb?" Han Ping said speechlessly.
"Then don't treat me like an encyclopedia," Huo retorted. "There are so many strange things in this world. I can't know everything."
"There's a lot of buzz in the city right now about this, the people in the Shangshu Mansion are crying out for justice, and the higher-ups are putting pressure on us to get to the bottom of this. I really have no other options.
"Could you please help me? I owe you a favor. Even a hint would be fine." Han Ping calmly discussed with Huo?
Huo? Hearing this, he didn't rush to reply.
To be honest, Han Ping was also a ruthless person when he was in the Dark Night Pavilion. However, he was very particular about judging the situation and had a bottom line. He knew what he should and should not do, otherwise Ye Buli would not have let him leave the Dark Night Pavilion so easily.
Just like the matter of the maid, Han Ping also guessed that Huo? was involved in this matter, but he knew that he could not defeat Huo?, so he would not choose to report it to the higher authorities and let others put pressure on Huo? and others.
He even thought of using favors to exchange for some clues. This person really does things according to his position.
Although he knew he had a bottom line, Huo Yu would not tell him these things. He only said to him: "Some things you can only ask the person involved, because to be honest, I don't know much either."
He spoke seriously, without his usual nonchalance.
"The person involved is already dead." Han Ping said helplessly.
"Then there's no solution to this problem." Huo said frankly, "When I met that family, they were just ordinary villagers. If they wanted to eat meat, they would come to our village to buy it.
We didn’t see each other for a long time after that, so I don’t know what happened to them.”
It was rare for Han Ping to see Huo explain things to him so seriously, so he believed what he said about 80%.
However, it is really difficult to find information about this family. Now there is chaos everywhere, and many household registration information in the government offices are missing. If the original household registration cannot be found, it is difficult to determine the direction of the investigation, and it is impossible to find out what these people have experienced.
Han Ping couldn't find any useful information here at Huo?, so he left with his things after staying there for a while. There were still a lot of things waiting for him in the city, and he didn't have the free time to stay here and drink tea.
Suifeng, who was sitting next to him, looked at Han Ping's somewhat weathered figure and said to Huo Xi with emotion: "It's not easy to get a job after entering the court."
Look at how exhausted this person is. He works so hard that if he doesn't do his job well, he might be demoted or even killed. This job is not as easy as being a killer.
Huo? did not comment on this. Power is a double-edged sword. When you enjoy the admiration of others, you naturally have to bear the risks that come with it.
Now that their worries were resolved, Huo and the others no longer cared about the turmoil outside and only waited for the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
More than half a month later, the potatoes and sweet potatoes were successfully harvested. As usual, Huo asked Suifeng to contact Ye Buli and ask him to pick up the potatoes.
One potato can produce about 3 or 4 seedlings. Ye Buli originally asked for tens of thousands of potato seedlings, which means he would have to get almost 10,000 potatoes.
Their potatoes grow relatively large, about 150-200g each. If calculated by weight, he will be given about 4500 kilograms of potatoes, which is about the potato harvest of one acre of land.
After working for most of the day, everyone finally dug out all the potatoes and sweet potatoes from several acres of land.
On the day of the harvest, Ye Buli and Shang Chenyi also arrived. Huo? Seeing that there was only a carriage behind them, he kindly said, "These potatoes are a bit heavy. You won't have someone else carry them back?"
Even if each person carries 100 kilograms, it will take more than 40 people. With so many people showing up, no matter how well you hide, it will be difficult to avoid being discovered by the officers and soldiers in the provincial capital, not to mention that it is not known whether Ye Buli has so many people under his command.
"Someone will come to pick it up this evening. Ayi and I are here today to welcome the joy of the harvest with you." Ye Buli said seriously.
Huo? He curled his lips when he heard that. What joy of harvest? Why say it so nicely? To put it bluntly, he just wants to come here and have a free meal.
At this time, Shang Chenyi handed the box in his hand to Ning Yan and said with a smile: "It's not for free, this is a gift for you. We also brought some pork."
Seeing this, Ning Yan did not refuse. He opened the box and took a look, and found that it was a set of hidden weapons.
Ning Yan accepted it immediately upon seeing this, and Ye Buli and the other person naturally stayed for dinner.
Huo Yun and Ning Jing returned to the shed after playing outside. When they saw two strangers, he asked curiously, "Dad, who are these two uncles?"
He seemed never to have seen it.
"I saw him last time I went to the mountain." Ning Yan answered him.
The two of them had disguised themselves again today, so Huo Yun couldn't tell that it was Ye Buli and the others.
When Huo Yun heard this, he immediately knew who it was, so he glared at Ye Buli with fierce eyes, clenched his fists and gestured in front of his chest, saying, "So it's you, bad guy, come and fight!"
Last time, this guy gathered a lot of people to bully Dad and Father. Although they didn't fight in the end, Huo Yun still remembers this grudge.
Shang Chenyi looked at Huo Yun and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Brother Qi, your son is so cute."
Ning Yan smiled but said nothing.
Ye Buli looked at Huo Yun's expression and his face darkened. He was actually provoked by a baby? Who would believe this if he told others?
Not only does this kid look like Huo?, but he also has Huo?'s temper. Looking at him really reminds me of Huo? when he was little. He really deserves a beating and makes people want to hit him.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward, lifted Huo Yun up with one hand, looked at him coldly, and asked threateningly, "Do you want to fight so much?"
