Chapter 285 Going to the Capital
"Hey, Wang Laoliu, I gave you face, right? Why are you hitting me again, you bastard?"
Wang Laoliu grabbed his brother Erque and left. If he didn't leave now, he would have offended everyone.
"Yumin, how is the old village chief?"
"Uncle Li, my father is fine. My second brother is taking care of him. He is fine. They are probably on their way."
Li Da was very happy to hear that.
"Okay, haha, I'll come visit you every day. By the way, you guys are going to find a piece of land to build a house, right? You better hurry up, because a lot of people want to buy land to build houses recently."
Li Da talked about the new members joining the team, as well as the matter of Wang Laowu buying land for his parents and brothers.
"Okay, Uncle Li, thank you for reminding me. I will go find Jingui tomorrow, hehe."
Li Da was very attentive. Although everyone was from Tianyuan Village, he grew up in Sanshi Village and was of the same generation as the old village chief. Therefore, he felt more friendly towards the people of Sanshi Village. Naturally, he gave priority to Su Yumin and others at this moment.
Everyone gathered in groups of three or four to chat. Fortunately, Uncle He's family and Old Man Li's family were there to help. Seeing that everyone was chatting happily, Liu Niang also washed her hands and went to the stove.
Since she settled down in Guangyuan, she seldom went out. She would just listen quietly in meetings and embroider to earn money whenever she had time, as if it was a top priority.
Everyone finished the wedding banquet at noon in a lively atmosphere. After cleaning up the mess together, they left the house to the two newlyweds.
The men in the village all drank and were helped back by their families to fall into a deep sleep.
Su He moved a ladder and climbed up to look at the scenery through a telescope. The village gradually became quiet, with only the sound of birds singing in the distance to keep Su He company.
She was too greasy after the lunch, so she drank a glass of homemade lemonade and looked at the scenery while acting as a gatekeeper to guard the village.
It's a life of worry, it will be like this for the rest of my life.
After watching leisurely for half an hour, Su He was ready to move. Suddenly, she saw a fast-moving point in the distance, heading towards Qingshan Village.
Su He stared closely and when the person in the telescope became clearly visible, Su He was surprised to find that it was Zhang Xu.
What's going on? It's only been two days, and the old lady is so anxious to urge me to submit the manuscript?
Su He had a hunch that something was wrong. She hurried down the stairs and waited at the door.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xu arrived.
"Hehua, the emperor has ordered you to come to the capital immediately."
What the hell?
"It's a long story. Come with me to see the old lady."
Su He was a little confused, and she subconsciously went to find Liu Bai.
"Then I'll go talk to my family."
Most people were asleep, so Su He could only run to find her grandmother and tell her that she had to leave for the city immediately. If anything happened, she asked them to go to the Zhao family to find the old lady.
After she finished her explanation, she found Miaomiao and Mutou again and said, "Mutou, I may not be able to accompany you to school. When I'm not around, you should keep an eye on Miaomiao and make sure she studies."
Miaomiao protested dissatisfiedly, "Sister, I am very self-conscious, I don't need my brother to watch me."
Su He ignored her. Don't think she didn't know that this little devil ate candy in the middle of the night without brushing her teeth.
Mu Tou nodded seriously, "Don't worry, sister, I will take good care of her. What are you going to do? How about I go with you?"
Su He shook her head. "Study hard. I'll ask Liu Bai to accompany me. We are safe. You know where the money is kept at home. Go get it yourself if you need it. I'm leaving first."
Mu Tou couldn't bear to look at his sister. He hated himself for being too young and unable to help his sister.
"Sister, please come back early."
Miaomiao said goodbye to Su He reluctantly. Even though she seemed to be running around and having fun every day, the reason she could be so carefree was because she knew her sister was by her side.
Su He briefly explained the rest to Mu Tou and left in a hurry.
Four and a half hours later, Su He arrived at Zhao's house. It was already dark.
Mother Zhang and Mrs. Chen were actually waiting at the gate, and the three of them met at the door.
"Hehua, the boss sent a message saying that the daughter of the Minister of War was murdered. The murderer is suspected to be Li Mingsheng, but he denies it."
"What does that have to do with me?"
Su He was puzzled. She just wrote a storybook, how could it involve her?
"Well, let's just talk about this matter. It's such a coincidence that Li Mingsheng actually has a wife in his hometown. The Minister of War Wu Xian went to investigate his son-in-law because of the storybook you wrote. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that Li Mingsheng's child in his hometown was already eight years old. Wu Xian was furious. He only gave Li Mingsheng two options: divorce. If he didn't want to divorce, Li Mingsheng had to make peace with the people in his hometown, and he also wanted his granddaughter to change her surname to Wu."
"And then what? Li Mingsheng got angry and killed Wu Suhong?"
"Li Mingsheng chose the second path."
It's amazing that you can bend and stretch.
No, then why did Wu Suhong die?
Mother Zhang sighed, "Then Wu Suhong chose the first option, divorce."
What? Love awakens?
"Minister Wu lost his beloved daughter and felt that the source of everything was this storybook, so he had his people seal up your bookstore and demanded that you hand over Su Zhixing."
Su Zhixing?
Mother Zhang looked at Su He, who looked confused, and gave her a kind reminder.
"Lotus, you are Su Zhixing. This is the stage name that the young lady and I gave you."
"I'm not saying anything, but the name you chose is too suggestive."
Mother Zhang hit Su He hard, "You still have the heart to joke at this time. This matter has become a big deal. Originally, I wanted to find someone to deal with it, but Wu Xian is not a pushover. He found out that the source is here. There is nothing we can do. You can only go to Beijing."
Su He found it ridiculous. The Minister of War might want to kill her to vent his anger.
"Are you going to arrest me and put me in jail? Does this Minister of War think I'm the murderer?"
"No, he said that Su Zhixing helped him find Li Mingsheng's illegitimate son, and this time he also wants Su Zhixing to help find the real murderer. If you succeed, he will give you a shop in the capital. Even if you fail, you will get 200 taels of travel expenses."
Su He curled her lips. She really didn't want to go. Not to mention the long journey, she was also unfamiliar with the place. How could a woman like her possibly investigate the case?
"Lotus, you have to go this time."
Just by looking at it, she knew that this was not a request for her opinion.
"This matter alarmed the Emperor, and Wu Xian personally went to the palace to ask for his order. It happened three days ago. We received a letter via carrier pigeon, asking you to leave immediately."
Chen took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to Su He.
"Hehua, this is the hard work fee our Zhao family gives you. The carriage is also ready. First drive to the dock, then take the official ship directly to Tongcheng, which is the closest to the capital. It will take another two days to get there by carriage."
At this point, Su He didn't hesitate and simply accepted the hard work fee.
"Madam, my brother is coming to the city to study tomorrow. I'd like to trouble you to go to the academy and say hello. Also, my family is going to build a house. I wonder if the eldest lady's brick kiln has any supplies?"
"Don't worry, I've got everything done for you. I'll have someone take care of your brother. The kiln always has goods, you can just send someone to pick them up. If your family needs help during your absence, just let me know."
Su He nodded, not feeling embarrassed at all. The money was earned by everyone, but if something went wrong and she had to step forward, it was natural for her to ask for a good solution.
"Okay, I'll write a letter and ask Brother Zhang to take it to my brother tomorrow."
Su He returned to the carriage and wrote a letter with a fountain pen. This was for Mu Tou. Only Mu Tou had seen the handwriting in the fountain pen, and he would know it was Su He's.
Ten minutes later, Su He handed the letter to Chen, and he and Liu Bai sent their own carriage back to the Su residence, and then left in the carriage arranged by the Zhao family.
