Chapter 361 Something big has happened

The Qingxi Huan family is the largest family in Qingxi County. They have produced several generations of imperial officials. Although they have never been high-ranking officials, they are all fifth- and sixth-rank officials.

Moreover, there is still someone in their family who works in the palace and is also a eunuch with a rank. The Huan family can be said to be the most powerful and richest family in Qingxi.

The current head of the Huan family is over sixty years old and has just taken in a concubine of twenty-eight years old. Naturally, he is in a very good mood.

In the early morning, the head of the Huan family washed, dressed, and had breakfast with the help of his concubine. He was happily basking in the sun, drinking tea, and humming a little tune. With the concubine by his side, his life was so comfortable.

The head of the Huan family would occasionally reach out and pinch the concubine's cheeks, and open his mouth to enjoy the concubine feeding him.

"Master, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened to the master." At this moment, a voice came out of place, and a figure suddenly broke into the sight of the head of the Huan family.

"You bastard! I am alive and well, what's wrong with me! How dare you curse me, I will skin you alive." The head of the Huan family's face immediately changed, and he jumped up, kicked the man to the ground, glared at him and roared.

His good mood was ruined by this bastard, and he was also very angry.

Although the head of the Huan family is already sixty years old, his body is still healthy and his agility is no less than that of his youth.

"Come here, drag this bastard who dared to curse me away and beat him to death." The head of the Huan family had a face full of disgust and ordered people to drag him away

and beat him to death. The person who dared to disturb his beautiful mood, cause him trouble, and dared to curse him deserved to be killed.

The man who was kicked to the ground, endured the pain from his stomach, stretched out his hand and said hurriedly: "Master, I am Huan De, I have important news to report, which concerns the life and death of the Huan family."

"Wait!" The head of the Huan family stretched out his hand to stop the servant who came forward.

It was a matter concerning the life and death of the Huan family, and he had no choice but to pay attention to it.

"Tell me! What's the matter? If you dare to deceive me, I will make you live a life worse than death!" The head of the Huan family gritted his teeth and said, his fierce eyes exuding murderous aura.

Huan De shuddered with fear. He knew that whether he could save his life depended on whether the facts he told were shocking enough.

"Master! All the food we hid in the West Mountain is gone! All the guards were killed! Not a single person was left alive."

"Oh, right! All the female helpers who went to deliver the food are gone!" Huan De said. He dared not hide anything about this matter and told everything.

"What, what?" The master of the Huan family was so angry that he almost fainted and trembled all over.

"Master, calm down, calm down." The servant hurriedly stepped forward to help the master of the Huan family sit down, and reached out to touch his back to help him calm down. "

Butler, go and inform Mr. Ming and them to come to the house. Something big has happened!" The master of the Huan family hurriedly ordered the butler to invite people.

He couldn't handle the current situation by himself, and he had to find everyone to discuss it, otherwise, his loss would be great.

"I'll go to the head of the family now." The housekeeper said, and hurriedly took a few people out of the house to inform the county magistrate and others.

Within half an hour, the county magistrate and several other wealthy businessmen rushed to the Huan family. Not only was the Huan family's food hidden in the cave, but part of their food was also hidden in the cave.

They are not as wealthy as the Huan family. These foods are their lifeblood. If they can't find them back, they will lose half their lives.

As everyone waited anxiously, the head of the Huan family walked in tremblingly with the help of the housekeeper.

Everyone stood up immediately. Before the head of the Huan family could leave, the head of the Ma family could not wait to speak: "Old Huan, what happened? How could the good food be robbed!"

"Don't worry, wait until Old Huan sits down. The food is gone. It's useless to worry. No matter how anxious you are, the food will not grow wings and fly back." Qingxi County Magistrate said.

The most urgent task is to find out who robbed the food and how to get it back, rather than to find out who is responsible.

"Everyone, I am also very sad that the food was robbed. I almost died. If I really didn't die, I would not come to you to discuss important matters, but to express my condolences!" After the head of the Huan family sat down, he took a breath and said.

"Master Huan, what time is it now? Why are you still joking here? Tell me what's going on." The head of the Ma family said anxiously.

"Then I will tell you what the servants reported to him." The head of the Huan family told everyone everything the servants reported to him without missing a word.

"This is what happened. You can tell me what happened."

Everyone frowned and lowered their heads in thought. Only the head of the Ma family was fidgeting. He was an impatient person. He just wanted to find the lost food as soon as possible.

"Do you have any ideas? If you do, please tell us as soon as possible so that we can find the food back. If we can't find it today, I will not be able to live in peace." The head of the Ma family said.

"Master Huan, where is your servant? Can you call him over? I want to ask him." The county magistrate said, signaling the head of the Ma family to be patient.

"That's no problem. Go and bring the person here!" The head of the Huan family said to the housekeeper beside him.

"Yes!" The housekeeper replied, and immediately went to find the man named Huan De.

"I've met the head of the family!" After Huan De came to the hall, he saluted the head of the Huan family first, and then saluted the others.

"The county magistrate has something to ask you, you must answer truthfully. If you tell a lie, I will break your dog legs. Do you understand?" said the head of the Huan family.

"Understood! Don't worry, sir! I will tell you everything I know." Huan De said.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you must answer me truthfully." said the county magistrate.

"Just ask the county magistrate." Huan De said.

The county magistrate asked Huan De a few questions, and he answered them one by one without reservation.

"I know! You can leave now!" said the county magistrate. He already knew the whole story and had a general understanding of why the food was stolen. He still needed to do one more step to solve this mystery.

Huan De glanced at his own patriarch, who waved his hand to signal him to leave, and he bowed and left.

"So? But now that we know the whereabouts of the food, I will go back and gather the troops, and we must kill all these thieves." The patriarch of the Ma family stood up and was about to call for help, but was stopped by the person next to him.

"Why are you pulling me? Don't hinder me from taking revenge." The patriarch of the Ma family glared at the person who pulled him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you know who robbed the food? And where is it hidden?" the man said dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't the county magistrate say that he knew? As long as he points it out, I will take it and get the food back immediately." The head of the Ma family said.

He heard the county magistrate say that he knew it himself. He said it himself. How could it be false?

The county magistrate rolled his eyes after hearing this. What he meant was that he had a better understanding of the matter, but he still needed further proof to know the specific situation.

How did he become that he knew who did it? Isn't this a trap for him!

He was really shot while lying down.
