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

Chapter 243 Throwing Rotten Vegetable Leaves

There was no point in worrying. I went to Qingyunzhai several times but didn't get any news. I comforted myself by thinking that my son had a lot of things there and it was difficult to sort them out.

Early in the morning, Ye Qing brought Ye Xuan into the city and brought some wine for the tavern.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I was attracted by the crowd.

Ye Xuan was a little surprised. Why were there so many people gathering on the road leading into the city?

Ye Qing asked people to slow down, she jumped off the carriage and started talking to the lady next to her.

"Auntie, what are you doing here? Why are there so many people here?"

The old lady looked back and turned back.

Afraid of missing something, he did not forget to answer Ye Qing, "We are waiting for the people in the guard post to come back. They broke into the mountain stronghold yesterday. We are waiting to see the bandits they caught."

Ye Qing smiled when he heard this and asked Ye Xuan to park the car outside and wait for the guards to come back.

Ye Qing stretched his head and looked for a few times, but didn't see anyone coming back.

I smelled a strange odor and lowered my head to look for it.

I saw that the old lady’s basket was full of rotten vegetables, especially some green vegetables that had rotted into pieces.

"Auntie, where did you buy this vegetable? It's inedible." Ye Qing kindly reminded.

The old lady didn't even turn her head. "These are the leaves I picked up at the market. I've been keeping them at home for several days, waiting to use them today."

Ye Qing's eyes lit up. Seeing that there was no one on the road, he quickly asked Ye Xuan to deliver the wine and find some rotten vegetable leaves.

It was almost noon and there was still no sign of anyone from the garrison on the road.

Ye Xuan brought back the wine and a few baskets of rotten vegetable leaves.

They hated the bandits so much that they would not let them off easily if they had the chance.

Ye Xuan also brought some fire cakes, and Ye Qing gave two to the old lady. The two chatted for the whole morning and got along very well.

Just as I swallowed the last bite of fire, I heard a tapping sound from far away outside the city gate.

The people who were chatting animatedly just now became quiet and stretched their necks to look at the people coming.

After a while, a group of soldiers came on horseback, and everyone tacitly made way for them.

These people had nothing with them and looked like messengers.

After these people passed by for a while, the yamen runners came to maintain order.

The people who had been waiting here since early morning became excited, as the people from the mountain should be arriving soon.

Ye Qing and his group brought the vegetable leaves to their feet, ready to start at any time.

After waiting for another incense stick of time, footsteps were heard outside the city.

When Ye Qing looked outside again this time, he saw Lord Li riding on a tall horse, walking majestically in the front.

There were several cars behind, with a few bandits sitting in them, and more were tied in a chain, following behind.

When people got closer, everyone could see clearly that the people from the garrison were escorting the bandits and walking slowly forward.

When Lord Li entered the city gate, someone shouted, "Thank you Lord Li for getting rid of this evil for the people."

As soon as the voice came out, someone started shouting.

A group of people also came from the city. It turned out that Lord Wu brought people from the yamen to greet Lord Li.

Ye Qing couldn't help but shout in the crowd, "Thank you, sir, for standing up for the people and getting rid of the bandits."

Ye Xuan's eyes also turned red. The villagers no longer had to live in fear.

Lord Wu was very excited. During his tenure, he solved the problem of bandits that had been lingering around for decades. What a great achievement it was.

"Master Li, thank you for your hard work. You have solved a big problem for the people of Wu'an City, so that they don't have to worry when going out."

"Mr. Wu, you are too polite. This is my job."

The two adults got on the carriage and went to the county government office.

When the two adults were around, the people didn't dare to speak and waited until they left.

The city gate became lively. The old lady didn't bother to talk to Ye Qing anymore. She picked up the rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at the two bosses.

Ye Qing, Ye Xuan and the others had red eyes. They had just met the culprit who had injured most of the people in their village, so they wanted to show them how powerful they were.

Several baskets of rotten vegetable leaves were sprinkled on the bandits like raindrops.

Some people hid in the crowd and threw stones.

The soldiers in the garrison stayed far away and did not stop the fight, allowing the people to vent their anger.

The whole street was filled with curses, rotten eggs and vegetable leaves thrown at people in countless numbers.

The distance was less than a hundred meters, but the bandits had been walking for almost an hour and still hadn’t gotten out.

Lord Wu, who was getting anxious, sent someone to urge them, which gave them a chance to catch their breath and make it to the yamen.

These bandits have committed heinous crimes and it is their own fault that they are being treated like this.

Some bandits who lived in Wu'an City wanted to bury their heads in their clothes, for fear that someone would recognize them and make it difficult for other people in their family to live.

These bandits were directly taken to the prison, but there were too many people in the prison and they couldn't accommodate them all.

All the unimportant bandits were captured and taken to the garrison for unified custody.

Lord Wu did not dare to delay and immediately interrogated the bandits.

At the same time, a notice was posted at the gate of the county government office, encouraging everyone to come and report the case, as long as it was about bandits.

Ye Qing and the others' hands and clothes were stinky, but they didn't care. The most important thing was that they had improved their aim recently and most of the rotten vegetable leaves hit the bandits' faces.

Ye Qing, Ye Xuan and others rode a ox cart towards the village. They wanted to tell the head of the village that the bandits had been caught.

The reason why Lord Li and others came down so late was because the old village chief ran away.

They found a tunnel in the yard and searched along the tunnel. After searching for more than an hour, they finally caught him.

The silver and money on the mountain have not been found yet. I can look for them later.

All the bandits were captured without exception and they were taken down the mountain.

The head of the village heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Qing's description. The village could finally return to peace.

But from then on, the head of the village became more strict with the private chess school.

Without scholars to protect the village, the mountain village is like a baby holding a gold brick, and everyone who sees it wants to take a bite.

Ye Chenjing and his friends studied even harder, and Wei Jia planned to take the provincial examination next year.

Ye Chenjing had the same idea. The faster they studied, the earlier they could return home.

The head of the village asked his son to go to Ji Village and made an appointment with the head of the village, Xu, to go into the city together early the next morning.

When Xu Lizheng heard that the bandits had been caught, he nodded and agreed to go to the government office to testify for them. They wanted to sue the bandits again.

When other people in the village heard the news, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

The past few days have been really tough, so they left four teams of people to patrol at night.

Those who were not on patrol did not sleep well, fearing that bandits would come to the village again and they would not be able to react in time.

The head of the village, who had not rested much the night before, got up early in the morning and urged his family to prepare breakfast.

After breakfast, they took Xu Lizheng into the city. At least the government should give them some compensation.

Xu Lizheng was even more excited than Ye Lizheng at the thought of showing up before the officials, and he couldn't sleep all night.

At daybreak, he asked his son to take him to Kaoshan Village.

Some people from Ji Village also wanted to go and see the bandits. Those who were not busy at home followed the headman's ox cart into the city.

Ye Qing and his family went to the city. They wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
