After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Have you been frightened these past two days?"

"Yes, bandits came to the village a few days ago and we were scared." Tian San explained the situation.

Doctor Hua's guess was confirmed. He put away the pulse pillow and took up a pen to write a prescription.

"You're getting further into the pregnancy and there are signs of miscarriage. You need to stay in bed for half a month and take some medicine to preserve the pregnancy." Doctor Hua told Xiufen.

The sweat on Tian San's face dripped down, "Doctor, is the child okay?"

"It's okay. Just don't do any heavy work and don't worry too much. The child will be fine."

Ye Qing finally let go of the worry in his heart.

"Sister Xiufen, don't go to the winery during this period. Wait until the baby is born. Let's sell the inventory first. The child is the most important."

"Qingya, please take care of the winery." Xiufen said weakly.

Seeing that Xiufen was fine, Ye Qing took the doctor back and let her rest more.

After walking a few steps, he remembered something and came back to discuss it with Xiufen.

"Sister-in-law, please help me make a decision on something. I want to give some free wine to the guard post to thank them for helping our village."

Xiufen agreed without hesitation.

"Qingya, they are our benefactors. A little wine is nothing. We can brew more later."

Ye Qing heard clearly where the best wine was placed, then said goodbye and went back.

When they got home, he asked Tietou to give Xiufen an old hen to nourish her body.

Liu Rui came today, but still didn't see Ye Xi.

The wound on Ye Xi's face began to swell, and she wanted to show her best side to Liu Rui.

Liu Rui didn't force it after hearing the doctor say it was nothing serious, just some skin injuries.

He only spoke a few words to Ye Xi outside the window, and gave her a few small gadgets he bought in the city to cheer her up.

Ye Xi came out of the house only after Liu Rui left the house. She looked at his gradually walking away back, her heart filled with joy.

Before Liu Rui walked out of the village, a yamen runner came towards him.

The Liu family's driver quickly moved the carriage aside and waited for the yamen runners to pass before preparing to continue their journey.

"Wait a minute, let's go see what's going on." Liu Rui was curious.

The driver turned the car around and followed behind, heading towards the village.

The bailiff went to the meeting room and found Ye Lizheng.

"Li Zheng, the master wants to see someone from your village. That manager Zhao is leaving."

The village head got anxious when he heard this, "Sir, we can't let them go. They are in cahoots with the bandits."

The head of the village did not dare to delay and asked someone to call Tietou and Ye Qing.

Manager Zhao came to buy their peppercorns, so they knew a little more about it.

The head of the village asked Ye Fang to follow him again, and he also met Manager Zhao.

Tietou drove a bullock cart and brought Ye Qing over. They went out as soon as they heard the news, fearing that if they were too late, Manager Zhao would run away.

Liu Rui listened to the whole thing and quickly spoke.

"Take my carriage. It's fast. I'll have someone take you back in the evening."

Ye Qing didn't say anything polite and took Tietou and Ye Fang straight to the county government office.

Liu Rui was also a person who loved fun, and he didn't get out of the car when passing by his house.

The servant next to him secretly reminded him, "Master, you still have to go to the private school in the afternoon."

Liu Rui glared at him and said, "I'm going to help the Ye family. I'll make up for it in the evening."

The boy didn't dare to say anything and took out some melon seeds from the drawer.

When Ye Qing and his companions arrived, there was a huge crowd of people gathered in front of the county government office.

Ye Fang and Tietou went in to reply, while Ye Qing watched the fun in the crowd.

But she was short and couldn't squeeze in. Liu Rui's servant was quick to react.

"Everyone, please make way. We are the plaintiffs. Please let us in."

When the onlookers heard the person involved was coming, they quickly made way.

Ye Qing and Liu Rui squeezed to the front with calm expressions, but they were actually very embarrassed.

With so many people watching them, those who were not mentally strong enough ran away halfway through the walk.

The three of them stood at the front, and Manager Zhao was kneeling in front of the hall crying out for justice.

Ye Qing pulled the lady next to him and asked her where the interrogation was going.

"At the beginning, you are not late." The old lady stared inside intently.

At this time, Manager Zhao started to speak, and the talking outside stopped abruptly, for fear of missing out on the exciting part.

"Sir, I am innocent. I am just a businessman. I really don't know any bandits."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around Ye Qing started discussing.

"Look at this guy, he's white and fat, with kind eyes, he doesn't look like a bad person."

There was a chorus of agreement from all around, and Ye Qing felt unhappy listening to it, as he clearly looked treacherous.

Liu Rui's servant was very perceptive and spoke up to express his opinion.

"I don't think this man is a good person. He might cheat on the weight when doing business." He usually has little experience, and the most common thing he encounters is cheating on the weight.

Seeing that no one agreed, the servant was worried that the young master would despise him for his inability to do things.

He took out the melon seeds from his body, gave some to Ye Xi first, then to Liu Rui, and distributed the rest to the people around him.

Those who watch the fun are all fence-sitters, and they will listen to whoever makes sense. Besides, now that I have eaten the melon seeds of others, it is okay to agree with what he says.

Ye Fang quickly retorted, "Sir, he went to our village meeting hall and said he was going to the toilet, but he didn't come from the toilet. We also found footprints in the corner of the wall, spying on the wine shop there."

"Your Excellency, I am wronged. This is my first time in their meeting room. I didn't know where it was, so I looked around a lot. Besides, are you guys missing something? Is it illegal for me to visit the toilet after going there?"

Lord Wu and the onlookers looked at Ye Fang, hoping that he would quickly produce evidence, saying that what Manager Zhao said was correct.

Ye Fang didn't know how to refute, "My lord, I think he has bad intentions."

"Is there any other evidence? You can't convict based on your opinion alone." Lord Wu still believed in Kaoshan Village, but he also needed strong evidence.

Ye Fang was at a loss for words, and he had no other evidence, so he could only turn his eyes to Tietou.

When Tietou saw Manager Zhao, he wanted to beat him up. It was because of him that the bandits were able to find out the whole village.

"Sir, he went to our village and the bandits came."

Manager Zhao kept shouting, "My Lord, this is just a coincidence. Maybe the bandits have been eyeing the village for a long time."

Tietou looked at Manager Zhao fiercely and said, "Why didn't you come to the village to collect the peppercorns at the agreed time?"

Lord Wu looked at Manager Zhao. After hearing this, Ye Qing knew that they could not win today.

There may be no way to keep Manager Zhao today.

Liu Rui looked at the hall worriedly, wondering if the crime committed by Kaoshan Village was in vain.

After hearing this, Manager Zhao understood what was going on and began to answer questions calmly.

"I heard that the village was hit by banditry. I was afraid that the bandits would steal our things, so I didn't go to the village."

After saying that, he looked at Tietou provocatively, which made Tietou's face turn red with anger.

Ye Fang and Tietou felt the same way. They knew there was something wrong with this person, but they had no evidence to prove it.

Once he leaves Wu'an City, there will be no chance to catch him.

Ye Qing couldn't help but hold his breath, his heart beating wildly with nervousness.

The people around were pointing and talking at the people from Kaoshan Village, and Manager Zhao smiled.
