Li Qingyun sighed secretly. In fact, he had already guessed that there was such a relationship.

Otherwise, how could those bandits be so rampant?

How many people have been abducted over the years?

But how many were found?

If the government had taken action, these bandits would not be so rampant.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to end up in the general's mansion, turning a disaster into a blessing, he wouldn't know how he could have survived at this moment.

At the beginning, he was also a victim, and was abducted to a slave market at a lawless border crossing.

There are criminals everywhere.

That lawless place is simply the kingdom of bandits and a place of money, where those lawless bandits can make a fortune.

"Sir, even the Northern Liang imperial power has trouble controlling this kind of thing, so how can you handle it?"

"We didn't bring many elite soldiers with us this time. We rely entirely on the emperor's guards for protection. If you provoke them, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape unscathed in Beiliang."

He didn't have the ability to protect those suffering people. His ability was only to protect his own master.

His master gave him a second life, a second existence, and he must do his best for his master, but he does not have the leeway to overestimate his own capabilities.

Moreover, although they did not come here under the emperor's order to look for someone, the emperor, for the sake of the queen, arranged an elite guard team to assist the general's mansion in searching for the young lady.

The fact that the master guards of the Xichuan Imperial Palace are acting in the territory of Beiliang is very intriguing. If one is not careful, it may lead to diplomatic problems between the two countries.

Their General's Mansion cannot cause trouble or disaster for the Emperor of Xichuan.

Xie Yu folded the letter slowly and threw it to Li Qingyun.

"Don't worry, I, your master, know my limits."

"Qingyun, take this forged letter to the county magistrate's residence."

Li Qingyun took the letter helplessly. This kind of thing certainly could not be done during the day, so he could only go to the residence of the county magistrate in the middle of the night when no one was around.

In the evening, Li Qingyun returned home and found the whole family sitting at the table, looking lifeless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the kids didn't dare to make trouble. They sat down properly and ate the rice in the soup with their heads down.

Even the children noticed the dull and depressing atmosphere at the dinner table, let alone Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyun glanced at his father Li Xiangrong who was drinking silently.

"Dad, what's wrong? What happened at home?"

Fan Qiujuan sighed. She didn't want her eldest son and daughter-in-law to worry about it. They felt that they couldn't handle it, unlike her younger son who could handle it.

He urged his eldest daughter-in-law Shu Niang and eldest son Qing Zhi to bring the children into the house for dinner.

He watched his eldest son and his family go into the inner room, then pulled Li Qingyun to sit down and spoke in a low voice, avoiding conversation.

"It's a big thing. It's a big thing that concerns our entire village."

"Regarding the incident of the Jin family being kidnapped a while ago, you should have heard about it when you came back, right?"

Li Qingyun nodded.

"I heard."

"It's all because of the Jin family's mess..." Fan Qiujuan went over the whole thing from beginning to end.

Finally sighed.

"What should we do if this is true? I don't know whether what the sweet girl said is true or not. I hope she is lying. This way, people in our village don't have to worry about their lives."

Li Qingyun's face froze slightly. He had just heard about this from his master. He didn't expect to hear it again when he got home.

His master released several groups of victims back home, and coincidentally, the sweet girl's mother was one of them.

"The sweet girl probably didn't lie to you. She was telling the truth."

"The people who disappeared in Daxiling were abducted and sold by officials and bandits for money."

"The county magistrate of Jishui County and the rich man Jia are the biggest officials and bandits in the county."

"For the safety of the whole village, it is better not to report to the police."

"If Dad wants to preserve the village and live a good life here, then just pretend you don't know anything about this."

Li Xiangrong looked up suddenly.

"Qingyun, do you know about this?"

Li Qingyun nodded with a complicated expression.

"Well, no matter how I know this, don't tell anyone. Find a way to make that Jin Liu shut up about this matter."

"If the survivors of the Jin family make a scene in court and bring the county magistrate into the picture, he will not let them live, and he will even massacre the entire village."

"After all, if they are capable of kidnapping and trafficking, why would it be difficult for them to massacre an entire village in order to protect themselves?"

Although I don’t know how the youngest son knew it, he is working for the official after all. Since he said so, it must be correct.

After hearing this confirmed by her youngest son, Fan Qiujuan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried silently. How could Xiaohe Village have to encounter such a bad thing?

Li Xiangrong had a grim expression on his face and didn't speak a word. He stopped drinking and his heart sank to the bottom.

The facts confirmed by my son's mouth are not good things.

After a long time, Fan Qiujuan finally spoke.

"Master, it's easy to talk to this sweet girl. She didn't intend to tell our village. She kept this big thing to herself because she wanted to protect our village."

"But it was this Jin Liu who was so reckless that she was forced to confess the truth."

"And I think Jin Liu is such a person that she won't stop until she forces the sweet girl to come to the hall."

"How can we make her shut up? She has fled to the county seat now. If she says anything nonsense, our entire village will be ruined."

Li Xiangrong was also troubled by this issue. How should he deal with Jin Liu and make her shut up?

"Alas, this Jin Liu is not an honest person. I can scare her for a while, but it's impossible to make her silent forever."

"In our village, everyone's life depends on her keeping her mouth shut."

Fan Qiujuan's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

"Master, do you think this will work? Let's find her a widower and have her marry far away so she can't come back."

Li Xiangrong finally raised his head.

"This..." It's actually a good idea, but I don't know if Jin Liu is willing!

Seeing Li Xiangrong's hesitation, Fan Qiujuan comforted him.

"Hey, Master, isn't it true that we don't have the practice of remarriage here? It's not shameful to find another man, right?"

"Anyway, her husband is gone, and we don't know whether this rich man Jin is dead or alive. Her sons are gone too."

"She only has one daughter left, Tian Yatou. And she may not be her biological daughter. We don't know how she got her. She is free now. She won't cause any disputes when she marries into her husband's family."

"If I find her a new man, she might be secretly happy."
