Chapter 399 The officials came to see Yuan Shanchuan again
Shu Yu finished the pancake in her hand and then said, "Otherwise, I'll sneak over to Daxu Village later. If he's already gone, we can still set off in time."
They are people who own mule carts.
Da Niu waved his hand, "Don't go. It's all wet in the rain, and you'll get all dirty. I'll go. I'm fast on foot, and I'm used to walking on these kinds of roads."
As he spoke, he prepared to leave. "Alright, you go back and continue eating breakfast. I'll go home, change into a raincoat, and then I'll leave."
Shu Yu tried to call him, but he wouldn't listen; Da Niu had already gone out.
She smiled with a mixture of helplessness and joy. This kind of behavior from Brother Da Niu would make her lazy.
Da Niu acted quickly, changing into a raincoat before heading to Da Xu Village.
When he arrived at Daxu Village, the rain had lessened considerably. He went straight to the Yuan family's old house, hoping to take the opportunity to see if Yuan the eldest was home.
However, he had only just reached the gate of the Yuan family's house when he saw a villager from Daxu Village walking briskly towards him with an umbrella.
Da Niu hurriedly walked to the side, but the man didn't even look at him. He just pounded on the Yuan family's door and shouted, "Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan, come out quickly! I just saw two officials going to the Shan Chuan family's house."
The gate to the Yuan family's house was flung open with a 'whoosh,' revealing the familiar face of the eldest son, Yuan.
Da Niu breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that he was home.
However, he quickly realized what the man had just said: "An official has gone to my fourth aunt's house."
Oh, no, we can't say it's my fourth aunt's husband's house anymore.
However, compared to him, Boss Yuan was even more panicked. After all, he had just dug two large holes in that yard the day before.
He grabbed the villager who brought the news and asked, "You said that officials went over there again? What are they doing there? Could they have discovered something hidden underground?"
"It seems they're going to find the mountains and rivers."
Old Master Yuan was taken aback. "Looking for Yuan Shanchuan?"
At this moment, the other members of the Yuan family also came over. The eldest Yuan frowned and said, "Why are there officials looking for Yuan Shanchuan again?" He turned to the two elders of the Yuan family and said, "I knew it. Yuan Shanchuan is a troublemaker. He must have gotten into trouble again. How many times has this happened? Officials have come to our door again."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. He's not in Daxu Village now, and the officials went to the house but found it empty. Let's hurry over and go check it out, tell them that Yuan Shanchuan isn't here, and that he's cutting ties with us."
Everyone agreed, so some grabbed umbrellas and others put on raincoats, and they hurriedly went out the door.
Da Niu didn't know what had happened, but he was sure it wasn't his fourth aunt's husband who had caused the trouble.
He immediately followed behind the Yuan family.
The villagers hadn't gone out much because of the heavy rain, but when they heard the commotion, they all came to see what was going on.
When the Yuan family arrived, the two constables were standing at the door of Yuan Shanchuan's house, frowning as they looked at the locked gate.
The person who came was Hu Li, who was wearing a straw raincoat and asked Aunt Yao from next door, "Where did Yuan Shanchuan and his family go?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, they stopped staying here yesterday. The house was taken back by the Yuan family, and they went to Shangshi Village to stay at Madam Lu's parents' house."
"What did you say? They don't live here anymore?" Hu Li frowned, looking rather miserable.
Aunt Yao was really curious, so she mustered up her courage and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with Yuan Shanchuan? Has he committed another crime? Are you here to arrest him?"
