Last night, while Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were asleep, Meng Fan had finished assembling the farming tools the old man had entrusted him with.
The parts that needed to be forged had already been forged, but he had not had the time to assemble them.
Therefore, he did not wake the two of them up last night.
He took out the finished farming tools from the inner room and handed them to You Zhi.
The elderly You Zhi glanced at the two people in the yard and said to Meng Fan,""Xiao Fan, it's not easy for me to carry these things alone. I'll have to trouble you to help me.”
"Alright, no problem!" Meng Fan nodded. Living in the Meng village, he was quite helpful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to work on farming tools.
You Zhi smiled kindly,"What a good young man. Let's go then."”
After giving Ying Zheng and Wang Jian some instructions, Meng Fan followed the old man out. He wasn't worried that the two would take the opportunity to escape.
The old man's house was very close to his. With Old Zhao's speed, even if he ran, Meng Fan was confident he could catch them.
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian naturally did not know what he was thinking. If they knew, they would probably vomit a lot of blood.
After walking for a while, clansmen kept greeting the two of them.
Meng Fan followed the old man's response.
When he had just transmigrated to the Meng family residence, he had received a lot of help from his clansmen.
The ancient clans were quite united, so even though Meng Fan was a transmigrator, he still had a lot of affection for his clansmen.
The two of them arrived at the old man's house.
Meng Fan put down his farming tools and was about to leave when he was stopped.
"Is there anything else you want me to do?”Meng Fan was confused.
Youzhi stuck his head out of the door and looked around before closing the door.
Seeing his cautious appearance, Meng Fan was even more confused.""What's wrong?"
"Shh!" The old man gestured for him to keep quiet and then pulled him into the room." Lil 'Fan, you don't know."”
"Yesterday, the county governor sent me a message, asking me to go to Yi Qu County.”
Hearing this, Meng Fan was stunned. You Zhi was indeed under the jurisdiction of the county, but they wouldn't usually ask him to go to the county during farming time, right?
Thinking of this, Meng Fan couldn't help but interject,""The county governor is looking for you? Did something happen?"
" Let me finish." The old man continued," I rushed to Qu County yesterday afternoon and found that the county governor had recruited all the officials in Beidi County!”
Meng Fan's eyes widened. This was no small matter. Just as he was wondering if Rong Di's tribe was up to something, the old man spoke again.
" The county governor told us that two people came to Beidi County recently and asked us to pay close attention to them. If we find any strangers entering the area, we should report to him immediately." The old man looked at Meng Fan with a serious expression." Xiao Fan, you know a lot. Do you think the people the county governor mentioned are the two people living in your house?"”
"It can't be, right?" Meng Fan subconsciously said," Old Zhao and Old Wang are businessmen I met by chance when I was watering the fertilizer."”
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked in puzzlement,"The county governor didn't mention their identities? Was he a fugitive or a survivor of the Six Nations?”
"The lord only told us to pay close attention to them. He didn't tell us the identities of those two."”
"Did you report it to him?"
" Of course I did." The old man nodded." But other than me, a few other people also reported that there were also pairs of outsiders in their village, so I'm not sure."”
"I specially dragged you here to give you a reminder so that you won't fall into the trap of evil people.”the old man asked with concern.
He was very concerned about Meng Fan.
The old man's wife had passed away, and his son had died on the battlefield because he joined the army.
He cared about Meng Fan not only because Meng Fan knew a lot, but also because he treated him like a son.
Perhaps he saw Meng Fan grow up without anyone to rely on, and his parents died early.
The old You Zhi even planned to suggest to the county governor that he give his position to Meng Fan after he passed away.
Hearing his words, Meng Fan said gratefully,""Thank you for your concern."
"But I feel that the two people in the county governor's head aren't members of my family.”Meng Fan judged.
No matter what, he couldn't associate Old Zhao and Old Wang with the people who had been named by the county governor.
He had already subconsciously thought that the person the Prefectural Governor was talking about had done something wrong.
Old Zhao and Old Wang didn't look like bad people at first glance. Otherwise, why would they stay in their own home so peacefully? They had hotpot and good wine, and they slept very soundly.
Could the perpetrator be as calm as them?
" It's best if it's not, but no one can be sure about this," the old man advised earnestly." You have to be more careful."”
Meng Fan nodded repeatedly. He could feel the concern You Zhi had for him.
The old man continued," The Prefectural Governor has already personally gone to the villages to patrol. Starting from the first few villages, he should arrive at our Meng Manor in about half a month. At that time, we'll be able to identify the two people.”
"Alright, I understand! Old Zhao and Old Wang will have to stay at my house for at least a month. That's enough time for the county governor to arrive.”Meng Fan nodded.
