The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1170

The two guards took Mrs. Zhao to dig for silver under the moonlight, and Xiao Xiong followed enthusiastically. He was very interested in the way of folks hiding silver.

Perhaps seeing Zhang’s mother’s eccentricity and his younger brother’s shamelessness, Zhang Dazhu didn’t dare to hide the money at home, but hid it in his field.

The 20 mu of Yongye land allocated to him by the imperial court was divided into several pieces, one of which had a pool of rocks in it, only the size of a table, and there were hard stones under the rocks.

Because he came back late, all the nearby good land had been allocated, so this land was allocated to him.

Zhang Dazhu hid the money here, and he told Mrs. Zhao before his death.

Mrs. Zhao has already made up her mind that the money will not be used until her daughter gets married, so she has never been here to touch money in the past two years. If you really want to ask how much money she has, she really doesn’t know.

After the bundle was pulled out, she faintly felt that the weight was not right. When she opened it, she found that there were more than ten ingots of silver inside.

Zhao was so startled that her hands and feet were cold, “This, so many?”

The guard turned upside down and said, “Silver is five taels a piece, so that’s just over fifty taels.”

The little bear said: “This number is correct. People in the village say that he brought back a hundred taels, but that’s all counted. He should have gotten some spoils in battle, plus the silver he saved from hard work over the years, it’s about the same amount. That’s the number.”

Zhao’s heart was relieved, she held the money and wept, she didn’t expect her husband to think so much about their mother and daughter…

The guard waited for her to wipe away her tears before taking her back quietly. Little Xiong reminded him, “You should rest well tonight, and the people in the yamen should be here tomorrow morning.”

Zhao nodded.

This village is too far away from the county government, and it takes a whole day to walk. The guards have horses to go back and forth, but the county government servants don’t have horses, so they can only get out on two legs.

So they traveled through mountains and rivers, and finally appeared at the gate of the village at dawn.

As soon as the official post appeared, the village immediately became extremely lively.

The village chief greeted him with a gray face, and when he finished he gave the guards a look. He knew that these people must have helped Mrs. Zhao, otherwise Mrs. Zhao, a woman who has been taking care of her daughter in the house, how could she have time to go to the village? report?

The guards grinned happily at the village head with their big white teeth.

The officials rushed all night, and their tempers were not very good. As soon as they came up, they yelled: “Who is the suffering master Zhao?”

Just as the village chief was about to speak, a guard led Mrs. Zhao out and shouted, “The sufferer is here, my lords, the victim, Niuniu, is in the room, she is still unconscious.”

In fact, Niuniu woke up twice in the middle, but she is indeed asleep now.

The officials immediately bypassed the village chief and ran to the house to see the sufferer, and after confirming that the other party had indeed suffered a grievance, they asked where the perpetrator was.

The village chief couldn’t intervene at all, he could only watch helplessly as both Zhang Erzhu and Zhang’s mother were confessed.

Seeing that the officials were all looking at him, the village chief’s lips moved, and he could only slowly lead them the way, but before he left the room, two guards dropped two of them from the sky, “No need to go, the two of them If they want to escape, we will bring them here on their behalf.”

The leading official twitched his forehead, but he knew that the other party was not an ordinary person, so he didn’t pursue it further, but lowered his head to look at the two lying on the ground.

Zhang’s mother and Zhang Erzhu trembled, Zhang Erzhu shook his lips and said: “I, I was wronged…”

Zhang’s mother shouted nervously: “She is my granddaughter, her life is mine, so what if I suffocate her to death? How many babies are drowned as soon as they are born, why don’t you catch those people?”

The official’s face turned cold, and he shouted: “Do you think that drowning a girl is not a crime? If you are caught, you can also be sentenced to exile. What can such a cunning and perverted person have to say? Come, lock them up.”

The officials hurriedly rushed up to put the shackles on the people. The surrounding villagers were not as aggressive as yesterday, and they were obviously very afraid of the officials.

Standing on it, Xiao Bao commented: “Although these officials acted domineeringly, they were still conscientious. They answered all the questions that should be asked just now.”

Little Xiong said indifferently, “If you’re not overbearing, I’m afraid you won’t be able to suppress these villagers.”

Xiaobao sighed, “It would be great if the officials were gentle and the common people were polite.”

“Not only do we have to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and live in tile-roofed houses, but we also need to be able to read and write.” Xiaoxiong calculated the expenses in his mind, and sighed: “Our Daqi is now considered a prosperous country and a peaceful country. , but I don’t know how many years it will take to reach this point.”

Xiao Bao murmured: “One day it will come true…”

After the official took the people, he looked at the two of them, hesitating whether to ask their identities.

Xiao Bao smiled, stepped forward to salute, and said, “Qi Chen, a student in Jiangnan, that is my younger brother Qi Jin. We are going to study abroad at the order of our parents. Who knows that such a thing happened to us by chance. Will the officials leave immediately? ?”

The official almost nodded, “It’s a long way to go, we start now, and we can only reach the county at night.”

“It just so happens that I’m leaving too, why don’t we go on the road together,” Xiao Bao said with a smile: “We can take care of each other.”

The eyes of the officials turned to the carriage parked in the yard and the twenty or so horses not far away. It would be great if they could pass. It would be better to have a car than to walk.

The officials agreed happily.

The guards immediately went to the kitchen to bring out meals to share together, and then set out on the road after they were full.

The meal this morning was a bit difficult to explain in words. There was no other way. The village head was annoyed and refused to cook for them anymore, so the guards had to do it themselves.

Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran even thought of the doctor for their son, but they didn’t think of the cook for them, so they had a breakfast cooked by the guards, and decided that it would be better to pick a guard who can cook next time when they come out to practice .

Everyone eats and drinks enough, and immediately loads the car.

Niu Niu was carried out and put into the carriage under the watchful eyes of the whole village. Patriarch Zhang couldn’t hide at this time, and ran out to stop her: “Mr. Zhao, where are you taking Niu Niu? She is the blood of our Zhang family. “

Mrs. Zhao was about to leave. At this time, she didn’t care whether she would offend him, so she stared at him with hatred and said, “Does the village chief even know that Niuniu is the blood of the Zhang family? Well, he will help the orphans and widows in the clan whenever they are in trouble, that is, in the village, who of you has not received his favor? As a result, you will kill his daughter in less than two years after he died, and you will not be afraid at night Have a nightmare?”

Patriarch Zhang looked ugly, “What nonsense are you talking about, it’s your mother-in-law and her second uncle who are going to kill Niuniu!”

“But you protected them, and you saw that they were going to kill Niuniu, what’s the difference from what you killed?” Zhao yelled frantically, “Look up, look up, Da Zhu is looking at you from the sky! “

The villagers felt a gust of cold wind blowing on them.

Mrs. Zhao laughed and said, “It’s okay if you haven’t been favored by my family’s Dazhu. If anyone repays kindness with revenge, Dazhu will remember it, and no one can escape!”

Xiaobao winked at the guards and asked them to take her into the carriage, then saluted the villagers: “I know you all blame me for reporting the case to Mrs. Zhao, but this is a matter of life and death. I don’t think you have done anything for Zhao.” What’s more, “Xiao Bao fixed a glance at everyone, “What’s more, Zhang Erzhu and Zhang’s mother dared to kill their relatives just for a little profit, so how do you know that they won’t kill other people for profit in the future? Keep it Such a cancer is in the village, can you sleep peacefully?”

The faces of the villagers changed, and the area around Zhang Erzhu’s family was instantly emptied, and no one dared to approach them.

The faces of Zhang Erzhu’s family were pale, and they stared at Xiaobao with hatred.

Xiaobao didn’t care about it at all. He didn’t believe that Zhang Erzhu’s family didn’t know about killing Niuniu. It’s just that he didn’t want to involve too much, so he only arrested the main culprit, but it didn’t mean he let them go.
