With the help of Jiang Yuansheng, Jiang Yuanyuan found out where Old Wang's nephew lived within a day.
Jiang Yuanyuan took his sister and elder brother to the village where Wang Dana lived.
The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, and Jiang Yuanyuan got off holding his sister.
Gutuo Village is the most remote village around Shengjing.
A carriage trip took six hours.
The small mountain village is remote and desolate, and there seem to be few people around.
Jiang Yuansheng glanced at the sky and said, "It seems that we have to stay here today."
The sun sets and its afterglow falls on the village, but there is still no sense of warmth.
Moreover, along the way, there were few people working in the fields.
Jiang Yuanxi, holding the white tiger that had transformed into the size of a kitten, stepped into the small mountain village.
"It's strange. It's the autumn harvest time now, but there is no one in the fields." Jiang Yuanyuan wondered.
Even the sounds of cows and sheep could not be heard in the village.
"Brother, should we go back and bring some people over?"
After walking for a long time, I finally saw a group of people gathered together.
Jiang Yuanyuan stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this Gutuo Village?"
The three big men raised their heads, and one of them had a scar on his eyebrow.
It looked extremely horrifying.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and said, "We are merchants passing by. We came here and would like to stay for one night. Is that possible?"
"We'll pay the money," Jiang Yuanyuan added.
Scarface looked at the three of them and immediately smiled and said, "Of course."
One of the thin men stepped forward but was pushed back by the scarred man.
"Li Quan, go and clean up a room for the three of you."
Scarface said with a smile: "Don't blame me, our village may be a little shabby, but we will definitely provide you with food and drink."
"Come with me," said Li Quan.
Jiang Yuanyuan curled his lips, walked forward, picked up Jiang Yuanxi, and followed.
"Brother," the thin man said, "Will there be any problem? I see that the silk these people are wearing is not something that ordinary people can afford."
"What are you afraid of? We can't afford to eat anymore. If we don't receive you, are we going to starve to death?" one of them said.
The higher-ups said they would send out money these days, but there's still no news.
If they don't earn some money themselves, they will probably starve to death.
Scarface frowned: "Okay, be careful these days, and we'll talk about it after they leave tomorrow."
"Brother, we can't offend the one above. Last time, the leader of the neighboring village was arrested because of corruption and didn't have enough people to make up the number. He has not returned yet."
Scarface frowned, and the scar on his eyebrow looked hideous and extremely scary.
His subordinates stood still obediently.
"Okay, it's decided." Scarface left, and the thin man stood there, extremely anxious.
Here, Li Quan brought a few people to a yard.
"This is the best house in our Gutuo Village. You can stay here for now. If you need anything, just call me," Li Quan said with a simple smile. "Don't run around on weekdays. There are many animals in the village. Be careful not to hurt you."
"Thank you, Brother Li." Jiang Yuanyuan bowed.
Then he took out fifty taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand, "This is for accommodation."
Li Quan took it with a smile.
Fifty taels of silver is enough for them to spend for a long time.
I've heard that businessmen are always generous, and it's true.
Li Quan went out and closed the door for them.
Jiang Yuanyuan immediately put on a serious face and walked to Jiang Yuansheng.
"Brother, there is something strange in Gutuo Village."
Jiang Yuansheng took a few steps forward and saw a head sticking out of the gate of Yuan Courtyard through the window.
"Indeed." He lowered his voice.
Along the way, I found that the village was full of men, with only a handful of women and almost no children.
"These people have strong muscles, they don't look like ordinary people, and they are definitely not farmers."
Jiang Yuanyuan nodded: "They don't have any livestock, but they say they raise a lot of things. What on earth are they doing?"
Jiang Yuansheng put down the package and took out some food from it.
The few of them had a simple meal.
Not long after, there was another knock on the door.
"Brother, I'm here to bring you some food." Jiang Yuanyuan opened the door, and Li Quan came in and put down the food, taking a look around.
"Please don't be disgusted, we only have these light porridge and side dishes."
Jiang Yuanyuan is best at dealing with these people.
"Thank you, Brother Li," Jiang Yuanyuan said with gratitude in his eyes, "My sister was complaining about being hungry just now, but we were so busy on the road that we didn't have time to buy food."
"No, no, brother, you gave me too much."
Li Quan looked at Jiang Yuansheng standing beside him, "Who is this?"
"This is my eldest brother," Jiang Yuanyuan introduced. "He has been studying in academy since he was young. He is a nerd. He is a little... I hope Brother Li will not be surprised."
"No, no," Li Quan waved his hand, "It's good for scholars, they are not like us, working under the scorching sun."
Li Quan took this opportunity to ask a lot of questions, and Jiang Yuanyuan answered them skillfully.
"Then you guys eat first. Call me if it's not enough." Li Quan left with a smile.
"Okay." Jiang Yuanyuan and the other man sent them out.
Li Quan left the yard and headed straight for the village entrance.
"Brother, I have found out everything." Li Quan explained everything Wen had asked just now, and then took out fifty taels from his pocket and handed it over.
"Fifty taels, it seems we did the right thing this time." This money is enough for the brothers to live for half a month.
"Brother, if you ask me, those two businessmen have more than this much money. Let's just capture them and take their money."
By then it will be more than fifty taels, maybe even thousands.
Thinking of this, many people behind him became restless.
"No." Scarface said coldly, "They are also from Shengjing. The higher-ups said that we cannot touch people from Shengjing for the time being."
