Chapter 317 I am an actor's stage
At this time, an old acquaintance came to the front accompanied by a warrior with a sword.
Tong Huaqiong looked closely and saw that it was Magistrate Liu.
With County Magistrate Liu around, Tong Huaqiong felt a little more at ease.
County Magistrate Liu said, "Your Majesty is most concerned about agriculture and sericulture, and always warns officials that food is the most important thing for the people and that they should not delay farming. When I was promoting farming, I always reminded everyone of your Majesty's concern for agriculture and sericulture. This villager remembered it, so his heart was full of crops. I hope Lord Liang will not blame me as a countryman who does not understand the affairs of Shengjing."
Lord Liang arrived at Tong Huaqiong's door, and the plaque with the words "Selflessness" on the door was shining brightly.
Lord Liang looked up and saw the signature on it, and asked, "Was this plaque issued by the government?"
County Magistrate Liu pointed at Tong Huaqiong and said, "Yes, it is awarded to this lady to commend her for her contribution to agriculture."
Lord Liang glanced at Er Gouzi and Tong Huaqiong, waved his hand, and told the officers and soldiers pointing at Tong Huaqiong to put away their swords.
Tong Huaqiong's entire back was covered in sweat, but she didn't feel cold even when the cold wind blew.
County Magistrate Liu asked Liu Tiejian, "Village Chief Liu, have any strangers come into your village recently?"
Liu Tielian replied: "Your Excellency the County Magistrate, apart from a few passers-by, there really were no strangers coming in."
Lord Liang signaled to the officer behind him, and the officer took out two portraits.
Tong Huaqiong's heart was pounding, but she looked at the portrait and felt relieved.
Su Chengmin does look a lot like him, but the child's portrait has nothing to do with Xiaolong.
Tong Huaqiong guessed that the prince never let Xiaolong show his true face in order to protect him.
The officer asked, "Have you ever seen these two people, village chief?"
Liu Tiejian looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "No."
"You've never met these two people?"
"Hey, how come he's still a child? How can a child rebel?"
"Then don't tell me. The royal children who grew up in the palace are very cunning."
The villagers had no idea about treason or remnants of evil, so they all came out to watch the fun, and when they saw the two portraits, they began to discuss them among themselves.
No matter what everyone says, the core point is that they have never seen these two people.
Lord Liang started searching the village, regardless of whether anyone had seen him before or not.
The officers and soldiers scattered.
The villagers were not worried at all. They were eating melons while cracking melon seeds. There were no Tibetans in their homes, so they were not afraid.
County Magistrate Liu said firmly: "There is absolutely no possibility of any strangers in Aunt Tong's house."
Lord Liang looked at Tong Huaqiong for a few times and thought that this woman would not have the ability to harbor a stranger.
In view of the plaque on the door, the officers and soldiers only walked around the yard, checked the chicken coop and vegetable garden, and then came out.
Tong Huaqiong breathed a sigh of relief and almost wanted to hold County Magistrate Liu's hand to express his gratitude.
Although she and her family had made all the necessary preparations, they were still afraid of the worst.
Now I am not even afraid of the unexpected.
Tong Huaqiong calmly asked Ergouzi to unload the corn into the yard, and then she and Gu Dahan, Gu Jingzhe and others spread the corn in the sun to dry.
While the officers and soldiers were searching the village, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Yan got together.
Mother Yan said, "I came out to digest my food last night and saw Widow Tong carrying a person off the carriage when she came back from the capital. I heard Widow Tong say something like "go slower and be careful with your wounds."
Mrs. Huang said, "What you said reminded me. I seemed to see more children in her family this morning."
Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Yan looked at each other.
They didn't think the remnants of the rebellion would appear in Qinghe Bay, and they didn't believe that Tong Huaqiong would dare to harbor the remnants.
They just wanted to take any opportunity to create trouble for Tong Huaqiong and disgust her.
The officers and soldiers searched the village extensively but to no avail, so they decided to withdraw.
When the drum was sounded to collect the gold, Mrs. Huang came running over on her bound feet.
Mrs. Huang said, "Sir, you have been deceived by the widow Tong."
The soldier who had drawn his sword against Tong Huaqiong was shocked to hear what Mrs. Huang said, and asked, "What do you mean, ma'am?"
Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Widow Tong is the widow you just met, the one who has hired workers at home. She went to the capital a few days ago and seemed to have brought an injured stranger with her, and there was also a child at home."
The officer frowned and said, "Are you serious?"
Mrs. Huang said boldly, "Sir, just search and you will know."
Liu Tielian had been asking the Liu family members to keep an eye on the movements of the villagers. After receiving the tip-off that Mrs. Huang was talking to the officers and soldiers, he hurried over and when he arrived, he heard Mrs. Huang instigating the officers and soldiers to search Tong Huaqiong's house.
Liu Tielian said angrily, "Mrs. Huang, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean there are two more people in Widow Tong's house? This kind of beheading is not a joke. Even if you have a grudge against Widow Tong, you can't joke about it."
Mrs. Huang was startled and said with a stiff upper lip: "What is the village chief afraid of? A search would just clear Widow Tong of suspicion."
Liu Tielian was so angry that he wanted to beat up Mrs. Huang.
This old woman is confused. If Widow Tong really harbors the remnants of the rebellion, not only the Gu family, but the entire Qinghe Bay will have to lose their heads.
Mrs. Huang must also fall.
The officers and soldiers didn't listen to Liu Tielian's explanation at all and rushed to Tong Huaqiong's house.
County Magistrate Liu was discussing something with Lord Liang at the doorstep of Tong Huaqiong's home when they saw soldiers surrounding Tong Huaqiong's yard.
County Magistrate Liu was horrified.
The officer stepped forward and said, "Master Liang, Master Liu, we just received news that the woman just now went to the prefectural city two days ago and brought with her a large and a small stranger."
Lord Liang stared at County Magistrate Liu with an obscure look in his eyes.
County Magistrate Liu was sweating profusely.
Although he didn't believe that Tong Huaqiong would harbor the remnants of the evil, it would be hard to explain if there were really two strangers in her house.
"Search." Lord Liang said.
A group of soldiers and officers entered Tong Huaqiong's home.
What stunned Tong Huaqiong was not the group of soldiers who came in, but Xiaolong.
Xiaolong didn't know what was wrong with him. Before the soldiers rushed in, he suddenly hugged Gu Dahan's legs and cried loudly.
"Dad, why don't you want me anymore? You said that you are too ashamed to face our ancestors because our eldest family has no incense. You worked outside and tricked my mother into giving birth to me. Now my uncle has brought me back home, but you refuse to acknowledge me."
"Woo woo woo...you are a big liar...woo woo woo, if you hadn't come to look for your relatives, your uncle wouldn't have been hit by the carriage."
Xiaolong hugged Gu Dahan's legs and cried sincerely, and even his accent changed from Shengjing to Pingchuan County.
It was so smooth that anyone who heard it would think he had grown up here.
Gu Dahan's face turned red and he tried to break free from Xiaolong's legs. When did he have a son this big?
When he looked up and saw the soldiers coming in, cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Is this kid acting?
How should he cooperate?
What should I do? Wasn't it agreed that this child's cousin is our family's rickshaw driver, and this child is the rickshaw driver's nephew? How come he has become his illegitimate child now?
"Gu Dahan, you are a piece of shit. When you went out to work, I understood your hard work, but I didn't expect you to be so..."
"Wuwuwu...I won't live anymore. You've completely embarrassed me by having such a grown-up son come to my house."
While Tong Huaqiong was still thinking about how to cooperate with Xiaolong in acting under the eyes of the officers and soldiers, Chen Sufen had already walked onto the stage of I am an Actor.
It was a very satisfying performance.
