Because he had lived in the palace since he was a child, Er Liu was very familiar with the palace patrols. In addition, he had just left not long ago, so he easily avoided the patrols.
I quietly came to the courtyard where the head palace maid lived, and as soon as I entered, I saw a big locust tree growing in the middle of the courtyard.
Because he had no tools, Erliu started digging directly, but after digging for a long time, he only dug a small hole. It was too slow. Erliu broke off a branch and started digging directly. After digging for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he switched to the other side and continued digging.
She suddenly found that the soil in this area was much softer, and immediately realized that she must have found the right place. Sure enough, not long after, the branch hit a hard object. After moving the hard object out, she saw in the moonlight that it was a small box, and there was indeed something in it.
Er Liu was just about to leave with the box when he found that the soil had not returned to its original state. So he put the soil back again. To make it look natural, he even put a few fallen leaves on it. After everything was in order, Er Liu quietly slipped back.
As soon as Er Liu left, the little eunuch with a round face and round eyes came over. He held a small shovel in his hand and began to shovel the soil under the big locust tree. After shoveling for a long time, he found nothing. What was strange was that the soil was very soft, as if it had just been dug. The little eunuch looked towards the gate of the yard.
I noticed some muddy shoe prints at the door and immediately realized that someone must have been there.
The young eunuch restored the soil to its original state and swept the shoe prints at the gate of the courtyard twice. After they were no longer visible, he left.
After Er Liu returned, she fetched a basin of water and washed her body and the dirt around the box. Then she opened the box and found a small packet of powder inside. Could it be arsenic? Er Liu closed the box nervously and lay down on the bed to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep because the arsenic put under the pillow by the senior palace maid must be fake.
Someone wants to frame her, what is their purpose?
Is it to save yourself?
She thought this was impossible, so what was the reason? Er Liu tossed and turned in bed, and finally waited until dawn. When the palace gates were wide open, she thanked Princess Mingman and hurried out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, he rushed to the Jiang family to find Jiang Tuantuan.
Seeing Er Liu standing in front of her in high spirits, Jiang Tuantuan felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm back."
"Well, I'm back."
Although coming back should have been a happy thing, Er Liu kept frowning, with a hint of vigilance and panic in her eyes. Jiang Tuantuan understood something and immediately took her into the yard. After returning to the house, they were alone.
Er Liu took out the box from his arms. Jiang Tuan Tuan saw the powder inside and asked, "What is this?"
"Arsenic."
Jiang Tuantuan subconsciously looked around to see if there was anyone around, and contacted the elf, asking him to help keep an eye on the surroundings and report immediately if anyone approached.
After finishing his explanation, Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Where are you from?"
Er Liu recounted what had happened to him in the palace over the past two days and explained where he had found the box. Jiang Tuantuan also told Er Liu about the extermination of the Wang family.
After the two people shared what they knew, they both realized that this matter was not simple.
However, the two decided to keep the matter to themselves for now. If there is no follow-up, then they will just suppress it. The other party is too powerful, and they don’t have the strength to investigate the cause yet. If they are not careful, they may lose their lives.
The matter just passed.
Jiangyue Pavilion opened for business as usual, and Mai Wu also brought Datou to the capital.
On the day they arrived in Beijing, Jiang Tuantuan went to pick them up in person and took them to familiarize themselves with the environment of Beijing. Then the next day they came to the rented farmland.
Jiang Tuantuan said to Mai Wu, "These twenty acres of land and this small hillside are all rented for five years. So I'm thinking of opening a ranch here, raising a large number of chickens and cattle, and growing a small amount of food for them. The specific planting method will depend on Mai Wu's plan."
Mai Wu, who was entrusted with an important task, instantly felt full of fighting spirit.
"Oh, Erlaizi and the others are on the other side of the hillside. I believe he must be in great need of your help right now. Go over and take a look. I'm leaving now. Come find me when you've made your plans."
"OK."
After Jiang Tuantuan left, Mai Wu immediately took Datou to the other side of the hillside. They soon arrived there and saw a field of wheat that was about to mature and chickens huddled together.
Now he finally understood why the boss said that Erlaizi missed him very much.
When Datou looked at so many chickens, he felt inexplicably sore in his waist!
Walking down the hillside, he began to look for Er Laizi, but he couldn't find him. No one was at home either, so Mai Wu just opened his throat and yelled, "Er Laizi, Er Laizi!"
Erlaizi, who was weeding in the distance, seemed to hear someone calling his name. He listened carefully and found the voice was quite familiar. He immediately grinned and said, "Brother Mai Wu is here."
"I'm here, Brother Mai Wu."
The second beggar jumped up excitedly.
Two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time hugged each other.
Erlaizi boiled a pot of hot water for the two of them to drink. The three of them sat on the slope and started chatting. They talked about their recent situation and learned that Erlaizi was living a pretty good life now. Although it was a bit hard work and Dafang had to work with him, the money he earned was enough for food and expenses, and he could save some for his son, which was not bad.
In the next three days, Mai Wu began to plan the construction of the farm. First of all, planting trees was impossible. If he didn't rent it out after five years, wouldn't it be a waste? As for grain, he could plant fewer acres and feed the chickens and cows.
He decided to build a large fence at the foot of the hillside specifically for raising chickens, and leave ten acres of land next to it to grow wheat. This was a request made by Erlaizi, because the experimental seeds given by Jiang Tuantuan were too many, and only forty acres of land were not enough, so he had to occupy another ten acres of land.
The remaining ten acres of land are used to raise cattle. In order to make the cattle live comfortably, they built a fence directly on the hillside so that the cattle can walk around freely and they can raise more.
There is a pond next to it. When the cows are tired, they can go there to drink some water, which saves a lot of trouble. I plan to plant some ginger on the other side of the hillside. Ginger has strong vitality and does not need to be taken care of. It is also expensive, so planting ginger is the best choice.
The prototype of the small farm has been planned out. Mai Wu told Jiang Tuantuan his idea. Jiang Tuantuan immediately told him to go ahead and do it and tell her if he needed anything.
After receiving the affirmation, Mai Wu became more motivated. He picked up the hoe and the big head and started cutting down trees to make fences.
