Chapter 125 Who has no conscience?
"Then I'll have someone clear out these stone slabs quickly." Hui Chengyuan said as he raised his hand, ready to call the secret guards to come out and do the work.
Yuan Man shook his head and said, "Don't worry. It's not easy to dig the stone slabs of 300 acres of land, and we don't know what's underneath."
"Just finish it before you go back." After saying that, he glanced at Lou Yang again, saw him lowering his head, and winked at Hui Chengyuan.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, checked the time and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest. If I find anything, I'll send someone to tell you."
Yuan Man nodded, "Okay, you should go back and rest early too."
If she goes back now, she should be able to catch up with Yuanbao in time to wake up and look for her.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, sent her to the carriage and then returned to the farm. He needed to re-interrogate the steward Liu, who obviously did not tell the truth.
As for Lou Yang, he would be exposed as soon as the diggers arrived.
The carriage had not been moving for long when Gu Chen caught up.
Yuan Man looked at him in surprise. Before she could ask, Gu Chen said it himself, "Cheng Yuan asked me to go back to Xizhou to deal with the students' affairs."
"How many people are there? Tell me the count and I'll have someone prepare letters of recommendation." Yuan Man lowered the curtain after he said that.
"By the way, the murderer hasn't been found yet?"
"If we don't find it soon, the wound will heal soon."
Gu Cheng's mouth twitched as he listened, "We checked all the people related to the Lou family, and no one had injuries or needle marks on their hands."
"Men have been checked, but what about women?" Yuan Man reminded: "Women are the easiest to let down one's guard."
Gu Chen's eyes lit up. Yes, they had been investigating men for some time and had never thought that it might be a woman.
"Thanks for the reminder." After saying that, he rode away quickly.
Yuanman returned to the inn and just as he walked into the backyard, he heard Yuanbao calling him and hurried in.
She saw Yuan Wu holding Yuan Bao and playing with him, and he didn't show any intention of looking for her.
So she stepped out again, asked Yuanxi to prepare breakfast, and went straight to sleep after eating. Anyway, that heartless son didn't need her now.
(His heartless parents abandoned him and ran away, and they still blame him for being heartless.)
Yuanman slept until noon and only woke up because Yuanbao made a fuss.
She took Yuanbao from Yuanwu and kissed him hard on the face, "You little heartless boy, I thought you had forgotten my existence."
"Mom..." Yuanbao held her in his little hands and arched his back in her arms.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Yuan Man looked at Yuan Wu.
Yuan Wu shook his head. The young master started crying for his mother while playing, without any warning.
Yuanman got some steamed egg custard to feed him. He ate it and finished it all, then started humming again.
Now Yuanman understood that they were going out to play.
So she planned to take Yuanbao out to play, and when she passed by the lobby, she saw Hu Tian sitting in the corner.
Hu Tian stood up immediately when he saw her, "Madam."
"Have you thought it over?" Yuan Man sat down opposite him.
Hu Tian nodded, "I choose to be the county magistrate."
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "Was it your own choice, or did your family choose it for you?"
Hu Tian glanced at her and said, "Half. I was not firm in my choice. I thought about it after my family gave me some advice."
Yuan Man nodded, "Okay, leave a copy of your identity information with the shopkeeper, I will ask someone to arrange it, and someone will notify you when the time comes."
Hu Tian stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Madam, for your cultivation."
"Remember, you have a probation period." After saying this, Yuan Man stood up, left the inn, and strolled on the streets of Xizhou City.
Yuanbao stopped making trouble when he saw something new.
Yuanman or Yuanbao will buy anything interesting they see.
When Yuanman saw someone selling red fox fur, he immediately walked over to check it out. It was real red fox fur, not dyed.
Red foxes are rare, and there are two of them here. Judging from their sizes, they should be one male and one female.
It's a pity that it was killed. Maybe red foxes will never appear in this world again.
"How much is this leather?"
The stall owner looked at her and then at the gold ingots in her arms before saying, "Two hundred taels a piece."
Yuan Man glanced at him and said, "I want them all."
After hearing this, the stall owner immediately packed up the two pieces of red fox skin and said, "Four hundred taels."
Yuan Man handed him four hundred taels and threw the red fox skin to Yuan Er in the dark.
The stall owner seemed not to see it and started to pack up his stall.
"Don't you have other skins on your stall? Don't you want to sell them?" Yuan Man asked when he saw this.
"I have enough money." The stall owner said and left.
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, showing character, and then continued walking forward.
"Ahh..." Yuanbao pointed at the things on a stall in front and screamed.
Yuanman walked over and saw that it was selling sachets and tiger-head shoes in various colors, but the tiger-head shoes were not as good as the ones she saw at the Songcheng stall last time.
The stall owner looked young, probably around twenty years old.
The stall owner smiled when he saw Yuanbao, "This child is almost one year old, he is growing up really well."
Yuanman looked up at her, nodded with a smile, and started to pick out the tiger-head shoes.
"Which pair do you like?" he asked, bringing Yuanbao to the stall.
Seeing this, the stall owner took out a pair of very exquisite tiger-head shoes and said, "How about this pair?"
Seeing the pair of tiger-head shoes, Yuanbao raised her eyebrows. She also had a pair of tiger-head shoes bought in Songcheng in her backpack. The workmanship and pattern looked very similar.
"How much are these?"
The stall owner smiled and said, "This pair costs two taels of silver."
Yuanman smiled but didn't say anything. Although the two cities were quite far apart, the prices were quite different.
A pair costs two hundred coins, and a pair costs two taels of silver.
"What about these on this stall?"
The stall owner's smile froze for a moment, then he said with a smile, "Those are 120 coins a pair."
Yuan Man looked at Yuan Bao and asked, "Yuan Bao, which pair do you like?"
The stall owner immediately brought the pair of exquisite tiger-head shoes to Yuanbao, allowing Yuanman to see the needle scar on her index finger.
She asked casually, "Did you make these shoes yourself?"
The stall owner shook his head and said, "These are all made by my family. I'm just helping to sell them."
"The pair I have on my hand is made by myself, but it's not very easy to make, so I sell it for a little more expensive."
After hearing this, Yuan Man looked at the stall owner and his thoughts were somewhat dispelled. "See what the child likes. Buy whichever pair he likes."
After hearing this, the stall owner immediately tried to coax Yuanbao, but Yuanbao didn't buy her at all. He took a pair of colorful shoes from the stall and started playing with them.
Yuanman smiled. Children of this age like brightly colored things the most. The pair of exquisite tiger-head shoes are nice-looking, but the color is a bit monotonous.
"Then let's go with this pair."
The stall owner just smiled when he saw this, and after taking the money, he said, "Come back if you like it."
Yuanman glanced at her, then turned to look at other stalls.
