Chapter 298 Cause and Effect Loop
Xiaohua said somewhat angrily, "Yes, there used to be a butcher in the west of the city who would often give those stray dogs some coarse grain buns and some scraps left over from selling pork."
At first, nothing happened, but later the stray dogs heard that there was food at his house, so they all went there.
But at some point, some stray dogs stopped appearing in the city altogether.
It was only because Da Huang and Da Hei felt something was amiss that they secretly went to investigate. It turned out that the butcher had put sleeping pills in the food and then killed the dogs.
Some people even go specifically to him to buy dog meat.
Dongfang Jin hadn't expected them to have this experience, and shook her head: "I heard you talking about human traffickers on my wall before, and I saw you leave, so I followed you two out."
If we were bad guys, would we cooperate with you to catch these human traffickers?
The reason I give you food is because you are better than some humans.
Xiaohua moved closer to the big black cat, as if that made her feel safe: "The reason they save people is because there are still some old people in the city who throw them food."
One of the old men had previously worked in the government office. He even built a shelter for Big Yellow and the others in a dilapidated house on the street ahead, and threw them some old blankets to keep them warm.
Dongfang Jin looked at the big yellow dog: "Is that person a constable?"
The big yellow dog shook its head: "No, he was a jailer in the government office. He lived alone, but he died before the New Year on the day when it snowed heavily."
Dongfang Jin watched as Gu Chenglin, Fang Shiyu, and the others tied up the human traffickers and threw them aside.
Ask the big yellow dog, "What do you think of this prefect of Anyang?"
Big Yellow Dog: "Not good, not bad, just so-so."
Big Black Cat: "He's not entirely heartless, just cowardly."
Dongfang Jin...
What does "neither good nor bad" even mean?
You're already a prefect, how can you still be so timid?
They're not business people, so how can they be considered to have a conscience?
Big Yellow Dog: "A few days before the New Year, the prefect fell seriously ill for some unknown reason and almost didn't make it back to life."
Another large black and white tabby cat spoke up: "I know that. They said they hoped that the Zhang family's affairs wouldn't implicate him."
After that, he started acting strangely all the time.
Moreover, he sent away many servants around New Year's Eve, and his wife even murdered two concubines, one of whom was pregnant.
Dongfang Jin was surprised to hear this, and it certainly didn't have anything to do with being cowardly.
The first family she thought of was the Zhang family in Ling'an County.
Ruyi, [It's possible. This person definitely knows Lu Yunqing's identity. Besides, the person with him when the Zhang family was raided that day was your young master.]
[So this Zhang family is related to him?] Sigh, isn't this a superior-subordinate relationship? How could she forget the "food chain" of mutual protection among officials?
That's right, otherwise the Zhang family wouldn't have held such a grand "dinner." It seems none of those people they sent away survived.
Dongfang Jin nodded in agreement. To silence someone, they had to find a place where no one would know.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to manage so many people in the mansion.
It seems this prefect's term won't last long.
[How come these animals seem to know everything? Their communication is no different from that of humans!]
Don't judge these animals by human standards. They have very simple minds; they don't beat around the bush, they just say what they mean.
Well, she's getting stuck on one thing.
Seeing that Ma Wencai had calmed the children down.
Dongfang Jin took out several bottles of Five Elements Spring Water, walked over and handed them to Ma Wencai: "Give each of them some to calm their nerves. I think you should send these children to the government office."
Don't send it directly to their house, otherwise it will be difficult to explain. You have exams coming up, and you can't afford to be careless before then.
Fang Shiyu also knew the pros and cons of this situation, and nodded: "I have already sent someone in the shadows to drive the carriage, and they will be here in a little while."
We, along with Brother Chenglin, and the human traffickers, were taken directly to the government office.
Seeing that his wife hadn't come to him for so long, Gu Chenglin came over with a dark face and stared at Dongfang Jin: "You..." He didn't know what to say after saying just one word.
Because he saw his wife staring at him expressionlessly.
This made him somewhat uneasy.
He left home without telling his wife and ran into the wind, so he really can't complain or scold her now.
Dongfang Jin didn't say anything else: "Why don't you invite Feng and Lei to your house for the New Year?"
She knew that the property given to him by the Duke of Ningguo had not been returned.
When she first saw the things that the shop assistant took out at Jin Yu Lou before the New Year, she knew that those things were made from the blueprints that Gu Chenglin had given them.
Because those things are not things that could exist in this ancient era.
At the same time, she also remembered that she had found the Yiwu Mini Mall in her browsing history on her computer last time.
He has his own things to do, and she doesn't need to interfere in everything. As long as he doesn't cheat, everything else is fine.
As for the properties his uncle gave him, they were all under Gu Chenglin's name; he also had a son.
Gu Chenglin looked a little awkward and guilty: "Wife, I..." I was afraid you would be unhappy.
Feng had already told him about what the Chen couple had done last time, and he hadn't expected things to turn out that way.
He also knew that his wife had a problem with his uncle, and later his uncle offered to send him more people, but he refused.
Since he couldn't return those businesses, he decided to find a way to manage them himself and try to avoid conflicts with Lingyun Pavilion.
Dongfang Jin looked at his awkward expression and sighed: "Alright, I know you have your own things to do. Remember to tell me wherever you go in the future."
This isn't me controlling you, nor am I restricting your freedom; it's about respect.
"You leaving without a word makes me feel that you not only disrespect me but also don't care about me."
Gu Chenglin panicked: "No, wife, I was just afraid you'd be unhappy."
"There's nothing to be happy or unhappy about. You're not a child anymore. You have your own judgment in everything you do."
I'll say it again: wherever you go, just let me know. If I'm not around, someone else can tell me too.
Gu Chenglin visibly relaxed: "Okay."
Just then, the big black dog came over and asked, "Jin-jie, do you still stand by what you said earlier?"
Dongfang Jin looked at the dogs, who were all looking at her: "Of course, if you'd like, you can come home with me."
My family has an orchard. You can help me look after the house and the orchard, and provide food and lodging. That way, I won't have to be homeless anymore. What do you say?
Da Huang stood to the side and said, "Didn't you just say you were staying at the He family's house?"
"As I just said, I just bought that house today, and I don't live here."
My son will be attending school in the prefectural city; we'll stay another day or two and then head home.
The big black dog raised its head: "How much do you want?"
Dongfang Jin stared at it: "You have many?"
Big yellow dog: "Is your house very big?"
Dongfang Jin stretched out a hand: "There are currently five mountain peaks."
The big black dog seemed quite pleased, circling around and wagging its tail: "How about I find more than ten?"
After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Jin decided to keep one at home, one in the county, and take the rest with her.
With them watching over the orchard, she no longer needed to trouble the white tiger and the others.
People will be living down the mountain in the future, and it wouldn't be good if they ran down and scared them.
“Sure, you can bring whoever you want. They’ll all go to the He family’s house.”
I'll go back and tell the housekeeper to open the back gate; there's an empty yard there.
The big black dog nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and look for it now." After saying that, it turned around and ran away.
Xiao Hua looked at Dongfang Jin: "Do you still want a cat? Da Hei is really good at catching mice."
The big black cat hurriedly said, "I can't leave. I promised Big Yellow that I would stay here."
When Dongfang Jin heard Xiao Hua mention mice, he couldn't help but think of Ta Xue.
"If they have nowhere to go, they can come to my house. I'll provide them with food and lodging, and they won't have to catch mice or anything like that."
