Chapter 800: Evidence Not Found

"General He is very diligent. He spends most of his time not in the palace but in the military camp. He even eats in the camp." Qiu Hu said, "It took me a while to sneak into the military camp."

He Lingchuan gave him a thumbs up.

The military camp is no different from other places, so the chance of being exposed is very high.

"What about a small amount of time left?"

"The day before yesterday, he spent the whole day inspecting supplies. In the evening, he suddenly left the camp. Without letting the guards follow him, he took Butler Wu's carriage to Si Tong Town." Qiu Hu added, "The carriage was gray and plain and very ordinary. It’s no different from a regular carriage and horse carriage, and it doesn’t have your family’s emblem. Only Butler Wu and the groom are on board.”

"Si Tong Town?" He Lingchuan had no idea in his mind.

While talking, the food was served.

What he orders are all quick dishes, otherwise they are pre-made and the kitchen makes them very quickly.

"Fifteen miles west of the capital, you will find a town with less than 2,000 people and rich agricultural products." The roasted duck meat with ginger and sesame oil was so fragrant that Qiu Hu swallowed his saliva subconsciously, "Your family has a small town in Sitong Town. It’s a very big village, and there are only about ten people there in the evening.”

Many of the long-term and short-term workers hired by the farm are locals in the town. After work, they go home to eat. There are only a few gatekeepers and gardeners left in the farm.

"My father still finds time to go to the country farm in his busy schedule?" He Lingchuan scratched his head and sipped a fried escargot.

When He Chunhua came home last night, he told Mrs. Ying that he had been staying in the military camp for the past few days and could not walk even half a step.

Lie to everyone around you.

As the head of the family and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, He Chunhua should be as busy as he should be. But why did he go all the way to Zhuangzi in the countryside?

"I sneaked in to take a look. General He went to sit in the big house first. Butler Wu walked straight to the back and entered the kitchen. The kitchen is quite large and should be a place to cook a big pot of rice for hundreds of people." Qiu Hu paused and said "Butler Wu went out and gave some orders, and someone led a cow, a sheep, and a pig into the kitchen."

He Lingchuan couldn't help interrupting: "Alive?"

"They are all alive and can leave on their own." Qiu Hu recalled, "Then Butler Wu sent them to work. After everyone else had left, Butler Wu invited General He to go to the kitchen and closed the door tightly. I also blocked the gaps in the doors and windows with pieces of paper and went outside to guard them."

"There may have been a barrier placed in the room, because the grunting of the fat pig suddenly stopped." He continued, "I didn't step forward because I had a sudden impulse at that time, as if there was something dangerous in the kitchen, and I didn't want to get close. It’s better, so instead hold your breath and calm down.”

He Lingchuan nodded: "Well done."

Qiu Hu has a demon spirit around him, and he himself has a beast-like spiritual sense. He said that the house was dangerous, so there was probably something terrible there.

"About two-quarters of an hour later, the kitchen door opened again, and a puff of gray smoke came out. The smoky smell was very strong, as if it was on fire. If there was no one nearby, there would probably be a long-term worker carrying it. Buckets to put out the fire.”

"General He coughed a few times when he came out, and asked Butler Wu to open the window. I took the opportunity to take a look, and there was nothing in the kitchen."

"Where are the pigs, cows and sheep?" Gone?

"No more." Qiu Hu continued, "General He said a few words to Butler Wu before he walked through the village and got onto the carriage. The first sentence was: 'I'll take care of you in the back of the house.' Butler Wu agreed. Then he said that Shan Youjun also wanted to accompany you on the expedition. "

"General He immediately said, 'Let him stay and accompany Chuan'er. He was originally Chuan'er's subordinate.' Then he sneered twice and said that military achievements are hard to come by and everyone wants to fight for them."

He Lingchuan was silent.

In the current Kite Kingdom, the best and fastest way to achieve success is to earn military merit through war.

As long as you can win, the upgrade speed will be like a rocket.

But if you want to do this, you have to follow the right person. For example, if you follow General Chang Ning and go south to put down the rebellion, you have a good chance of winning. No wonder Shan Youjun is tempted, he has a family and a career, so of course he wants to have a good future.

"Then General He boarded the carriage and returned to the military camp. I didn't go in and turned around to follow Butler Wu. But Butler Wu just climbed into another carriage and quickly returned to He's Mansion."

He Lingchuan nodded, feeling satisfied.

The order he issued was to keep an eye on He Chunhua, but Qiu Hu did not follow it rigidly.

This guy has a very lively mind.

He thought for a while and asked Qiu Hu: "In your opinion, what is my father doing in the house?"

Are you asking for his opinion? Qiu Hu hesitated before saying, "I dare not say anything without proof."

They are all smart people and they understand it as soon as they hear it.

He Lingchuan hummed.

Why was the He family almost wiped out? In addition, He Chunhua was very cautious, so of course he would not let others catch him.

Even if Qiu Hu suspected that he was paying the gods, he had no proof, so he couldn't say anything.

Is it considered evidence to put a few live animals into the kitchen and then close the door?

The kitchen was a place where both living and dead meat used to come in.

Does closing the door and burning incense count as evidence? Don't be ridiculous, there are so many old ladies in the capital doing this.

Why did the living animals disappear? It's none of your business, maybe it was put into He Chunhua's storage ring.

Of course, for He Lingchuan, since he knew that the mark of Nai Luotian was planted in his mind, he suspected that He Chunhua was trying to reward the gods.

He doesn't try the case, so whether the evidence is conclusive or not is not that important to him.

What Qiu Hu saw the night before could basically confirm his inference.

The question is, when did He Chunhua start paying homage to Nai Luotian?

The He family was almost beheaded. Does this have something to do with it?

"Okay, I understand. You go ahead and eat."

After the business was done and the young master gave his orders, Qiu Hu took action, grabbed the roasted duck with ginger and sesame oil that he had coveted for a long time, and tore it open.

"Master, what other tasks do you have?"

"It's over for now." He Lingchuan took a sip of wine, "Next, it's my own business."

...

It was late at night, and Wu, the housekeeper, dragged his tired body back to his residence.

He also lived in the He Mansion, a small courtyard with a single door and a single house, less than ten feet west of the courtyard of the He couple, closer to his parents than the He brothers.

More than a decade ago, He Chunhua cleared Wu's grievances, and the latter served him wholeheartedly. Everyone in the mansion knew that Wu was the most trusted subordinate of Mr. He; even some minor officials wanted to see Mr. He, and they had to ask Wu for help to arrange it.

This also meant that Wu was the busiest person in the mansion.

There were only four masters, but there were endless things to do in the mansion. Before he returned to the courtyard tonight, he also dealt with two servants who had fought.

When he came back, the mother-in-law had already heated the wine and prepared the dishes.

Wu Guanjia likes to dip water radish in Dunyu's hot sauce, drink two cups of old wine, and sip a few peanuts, and half of the fatigue in his body will be relieved.

The old woman asked: "We have money now, why do you still eat these?"

From Xiazhou to Yuandu, He Chunhua gave Wu Guanjia a salary increase, which was a reward for his perseverance and hard work.
