A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 369 Eavesdropping

He does not mean that.

When Shen Qingqian heard what they said, she immediately thought of the caravan that had stayed in her inn.

It turned out that those people insisted on sleeping on the floor not because they were worried about the safety of the goods, but because all the other inns were full.

Not only their inn was occupied by the so-called caravans, but probably all the inns in Ping'an Town were occupied by such caravans.

Then, these people cannot be just a caravan. They must be a large organization that deliberately dispersed themselves and disguised themselves as a caravan in order to conceal their identities.

Moreover, Ping'an Town is just a small town, and only small caravans pass by occasionally. Large caravans will not go through here because this place does not even have a larger inn!

But who are these people? Where do they come from? Where are they going?

"Aunt, are you here to pick me up today too?"

While thinking, Liangzi had already run out of the classroom, and his crisp voice interrupted Shen Qingqian's thoughts.

Shen Qingqian stretched out her hand and pinched his little face, and said, "Yes, my aunt came back early today, and when she saw your mother waiting here, she waited for you here too."

"Aunt, that's your horse, right? I want to ride back, is that okay?"

Liangzi saw the horse tied across the road at a glance. He recognized it; it was Shen Qingqian's horse.

Shen Qingqian said lovingly: "Okay, you ride the horse and your aunt will help you hold the rope."

Liangzi was so happy that he almost jumped up, "That's great, thank you, auntie."

The school that Liangzi attended was just across from the hot pot restaurant, and it only took a few minutes to walk there. But it was still a long way to Shen Qinglan's own yard, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

Liangzi wanted to ride a horse, so Shen Qingqian first sent them home, and then went back to the inn herself.

Shen Qingqian planned that if there were another so-called caravan staying here tonight, she would secretly investigate to see who they were and what their purpose was.

Unfortunately, no caravan stayed at their inn that night. To be exact, those people did not enter Ping'an Town today.

However, that night, Ping'an Town finally had a heavy rain. When the people heard the sound of rain in the middle of the night, many of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Their crops were finally saved!

The next night, the caravan finally arrived again. All the inns in Ping'an Town were full again, including Shen Qingqian's inn.

As soon as the caravan entered the inn, Shen Qingqian had been observing these people quietly, trying to find some clues from them.

However, after those people registered with Shen Qingqian, they went back to their rooms without saying much.

Shen Qingqian could only see that a man in his thirties with a mustache should be the leader of this group of people, and he didn't find anything else!

As the night deepened, at the hour of Xu, most people turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Shen Qingqian, however, had no desire to sleep. As it was approaching midnight, she sat up from the bed, put on a nightgown and walked out of the room.

It is cloudy tonight, and the sky is as dark as ink. You can't see your hand in front of you.

Shen Qingqian blended into the night in her nightgown. She approached the rooms where those people lived quietly, holding her breath and listening to the movements in each room.

But apart from the occasional snoring, I couldn't hear anything else.

Shen Qingqian remembered the man with a small mustache. That man was the leader and should live in the big room on the second floor.

So she leaped onto the roof. In a flash, she saw a room still lit by a dim candlelight.

Shen Qingqian came to the roof of the lighted house, gently lifted a tile and looked inside.

There were two men in the room, one sitting and one standing.

The one standing was the leader with a small moustache. He was wearing a middle-length shirt and must have just woken up after sleeping.

The appearance of the person sitting down could not be seen clearly due to the angle, but the aura he exuded was very powerful.

Looking at the posture of the two men, Shen Qingqian could guess that the one sitting there should have a higher position than the man with the mustache, or he might be the man with the mustache's master.

Shen Qingqian leaned sideways and put his ear close to the tile, listening carefully.

"It rained heavily last night. How is the situation in Shahe County?"

It was the man sitting there who spoke, his voice was low and cold.

The man with the mustache bowed respectfully and said, "To answer your question, sir, the rain in Shahe County last night was much heavier than here, and the floods flooded a lot of fields.

The air was silent for a moment, and then the man spoke again: "Shahe County is low-lying, and the geology is soft and full of mud and sand. Was it just some fields flooded by such a heavy rain last night?"

The mustache man said, "The embankments in Shahe County are being repaired very quickly. Most of the damaged areas have been repaired, blocking a lot of floods..."

"what?"

The man interrupted him and said with an unhappy tone: "Didn't I tell you to cause more damage? How do you do things? If you let them repair the dam so quickly, how can you keep Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng in Shahe County?"

When Shen Qingqian suddenly heard the names of Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng, she was shocked. What did this person mean?

She knew that Zhao Yifeng went to Shahe County to repair the dam, and Zhao Yifeng had specifically mentioned it to her.

But she didn't know that Zhao Yichen had also gone to Shahe County, and Zhao Yifeng had never told her about it.

However, from what these two people said, they deliberately destroyed the embankment in Shahe County? Just to lure Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng to Shahe County? But what was the purpose of these people?

Suddenly, the mustache man knelt on the ground and said in fear, "Sir, our people destroyed several places, but we didn't dare to do it too obviously, for fear that people would see that it was man-made destruction. That's why we didn't do it properly. Please forgive us, sir."

The man sitting there snorted coldly and said, "No matter what, Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng must stay in Shahe County for at least ten days. Otherwise, if you ruin the master's plan, you will lose your head!"

The mustache man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't worry, sir. Although the dam was repaired quickly before, after yesterday's heavy rain, many collapsed areas appeared again. It will take ten days to completely repair it."

"Well, that's the best! It's getting late, I'll go back to the capital to report to my master. You guys should be careful and don't let anyone find out."

The man sitting down stood up from his chair as he spoke.

When Shen Qingqian saw that the man was about to leave, he quickly flew away.
