Chapter 209 Heading to Zhao’s House
Since they had to wait for Officer Du to meet, Pei Anzhu and his party temporarily found a hotel nearby to stay tonight.
Police Officer Zeng reported the situation of the small clinic to the headquarters of the Irregularity Bureau over the phone, and then Officer Du rushed over overnight—
Whether it is the case of street child abduction in Zhou Manor or the case of missing tourists in Ruyi Mountain, they are all in the aftermath stage after all. Although Officer Du is the main person in charge, he does not need to keep an eye on it all the time.
But small clinics are different.
The matter here has not been completely resolved, and the evil culprits have not been identified and arrested, so this place is more important.
Police Officer Du took several of his men who had participated in the interrogation of Master Zhao and rushed to Cangcheng to meet with Pei Anzhu.
At dawn, everyone headed towards Zhao’s house according to the address provided by Master Zhao.
The Zhao family was once a wealthy family, but as time passed and wars broke out, the Zhao family was no longer the wealthy family it once was.
Over the years, the population has declined and the property has decreased, and now only the ancestral home is left.
According to Master Zhao’s confession, there are only three brothers left in the Zhao family in his generation—
Master Zhao's name is Zhao Zhongan, and he is the second among three brothers. The upper brother has an older brother named Zhao Boping, and the lower brother has a younger brother named Zhao Shuxi.
Among the three brothers, the second one, Zhao Zhongan, has the best talent and the deepest understanding and cultivation of Xuanmen, so he is left to travel and earn money.
The eldest son and the third son stayed in the Zhao family's ancestral home. On the one hand, they were responsible for guarding the house and Xuanmen classics, and on the other hand, they also solved some problems for the nearby villagers.
The ancestral home of the Zhao family is not in some deserted and remote place, but in a village in a small county under the jurisdiction of Cangcheng.
This village is called Zhaojiacun.
Completely different from the mountain villages that Pei Anzhu and the others went to before, Zhaojiacun is a very rich and prosperous village.
This is due to the new rural construction many years ago. Longguo introduced a series of policies aimed at narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas and building a beautiful countryside.
At that time, the villagers asked the Zhao family for fortune-telling and found that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune, so they fought hard and cooperated. After several generations of discovery, Zhaojia Village became a well-known wealthy village from far and wide.
Every household has built a small building, with blue bricks and black tiles, which is exquisite and gorgeous; smooth cement roads cover the entire village, and every household has a road that can be directly connected to traffic.
This is not so much a wealthy village as a "villa area" with rural characteristics.
As for the Zhao family's ancestral residence, it is right in the middle of this "villa area". The retro architecture is very different from the surrounding styles, but it has a strange harmony.
Pei Anzhu, Shen Yueran, Officer Du, Officer Zeng and other eight people in total drove two cars and entered the village.
Looking out from the car window, the scenery here is beautiful, with vast farmland, and a very pastoral scene.
The people in Zhaojia Village obviously live a prosperous life, and there are few people in the fields. However, there are many people who have tea and tea tables in their yards. A few familiar neighbors and friends gather together to play mahjong against the landlords, which is very lively.
Shen Yueran touched the little fox’s head and sighed:
“This place is really nice, suitable for vacation. When we are free next time, let’s make an appointment with Fu Chong and Xu Youyou to stay here for a few days.”
“Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can also experience an authentic farm life.”
"Then you are wrong." Pei Anzhu raised a sarcastic smile, "This is not a good place."
Hearing this, the faces of the people in the car suddenly became serious.
