Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1510: 1510: Where to Get a Child

“No, I don’t think so?”

The butler shook his head weakly. He didn’t know; he hadn’t been paying close attention to the people appearing in the county.

“Our Ming Gu County is remote, and generally, outsiders aren’t willing to come here unless it’s for business. Sir, do you want me to investigate?”

“Investigate!”

Lan Zhengfeng uttered just one word.

What was he waiting for, if not to investigate? With such an incident, it was imperative to find out who was causing trouble behind his back!

“What’s the situation at the county government now? Are the common people still gathered around?” he asked.

Although it was important to find out who was scheming against him, the matter of several dead bodies being dumped at the county government also needed to be addressed.

“The commoners have been driven away, but the impact… is not very good,” said the butler.

After all, so many bodies had been simply dumped outside the county government. Even if the people were chased away, rumors were bound to arise, and by half a day, they would be the talk of the county.

But he had already given orders for the county magistrate to help suppress this matter and divert attention elsewhere.

“Sir, the children were not sent over; will that side blame us?” he asked.

More than the impact of the bodies, what concerned him was not to offend the people of Rong Mountain, lest they die without understanding the reason.

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhengfeng took a deep breath.

He certainly knew that this matter wouldn’t end well, and the priority was to send someone to Rong Mountain to clarify the situation—that it wasn’t that he hadn’t sent the children, but that they had been intercepted.

“Get the Seventh to come see me!” he ordered.

“Yes, sir.”

The butler answered and hurriedly left.

Soon after, the Seventh arrived, accompanied by the butler.

“Sir, what are your orders?” the Seventh knelt before Lan Zhengfeng and asked respectfully.

“Seventh, you’re familiar with Rong Mountain. Go there now and explain the situation in the county. Also, tell them that I will send another group of children over tonight, and to wait for them,” Lan Zhengfeng instructed.

“Yes, sir.”

With his orders received, the Seventh departed immediately.

Upon hearing Lan Zhengfeng’s words, the butler’s face showed urgency.

“Sir, we don’t have any children left. Where are we going to find children to send tonight?”

It was becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of children lately. It wasn’t as the sir said, as if a simple meeting of the lips would produce several children ready to be sent away.

“Take some men and deceive a few children from the streets yourself. It doesn’t matter if they’re a little younger; just deal with the situation for now,” Lan Zhengfeng thought for a moment before saying.

Having had the last batch of children intercepted, he had no choice but to settle for the next best option, believing that the people on Rong Mountain would understand his predicament.

“But… ”

The butler was troubled, fearing the reactions from Rong Mountain. If they harbored suspicions, death might not be far off for them.

“Sir, isn’t this a bit… risky?”

“What’s risky or not, we’ve no other choice now, unless you’re willing to send your own child!” Lan Zhengfeng glared coldly at the butler, scolding.

“Err!”

The butler was silenced by his words.
