Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After knowing that there was no danger, Ye Chao and Er Cheng also came out of the house, wanting to see what was going on outside.

The two of them wanted to come out to help everyone at the very beginning, but they were stopped by Xia Shengsheng. Xia Shengsheng locked them up at home on the grounds that they had to protect the safety of other people in the family.

Even Roaring Sky Dog is no exception.

At this time, Xiaotian Dog was released from the house by Xia Shengsheng. Like a fool, he barked and ran towards the bandits madly.

The bandits looked up and saw a huge wolf with fangs bared and saliva drooling, running towards them as if it was going to swallow them up. They were so scared that they begged for mercy.

Some were so scared that they even wet their pants.

In the eyes of the villagers of Kaoshan Village, the way Xiaotian Dog ran over was no different from the local dog at home. Apart from its wolf-like appearance, its personality was nothing like that of a wolf.

At this moment, it was running towards everyone with its mouth wide open and a smile that seemed to be free of charge.

They had no idea why they were so afraid of the bandits who formed a circle.

Even when Roaring Sky Dog looked at the captured bandits with a fierce look, the villagers felt that its eyes revealed kindness.

When Ye Chao and Er Cheng ran over, they saw Tao Siyuan interrogating the bandit at first sight, and rushed over excitedly to help.

Tao Siyuan showed off a bit and said that it was not necessary at all.

"I have examined everything that my aunt told me to do. I don't need you two kids to bother me anymore. It's getting dark now, so you should go to bed! Don't delay the teacher's lesson tomorrow!"

Although everyone is very tired from working during the day.

But Mr. Yang also teaches several children to read every morning and evening. Of course, the focus is on teaching Yiyi.

Master Li would avoid the time when Mr. Yang was teaching Shanshan and then go to teach Shanshan embroidery.

Of course, I will also teach Yiyi some basic skills.

Although Ye Chao and Ercheng no longer had to go to town to study, they still had to study at home. They felt a headache every time they read, and Tao Siyuan often laughed at them because of this, and it was the same now.

But the two of them dared to be angry but not to speak out.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the two aggrieved children and couldn't help but seek justice for them.

"Siyuan, don't always talk about them. Didn't you come from a small child? At that time, I'm afraid you were also forced by your father to study every day, right?"

Tao Siyuan really took these words to heart, remembering that when he was a child, he also only liked to learn martial arts but not study his lessons.

At that time, he was not as lucky as Ye Chao and Er Cheng. Only after being beaten countless times by his father did his father agree to let him learn martial arts from the master, and his homework was also relaxed a lot.

When I thought of this, I smiled a little embarrassedly.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he reported everything he had just learned from the interrogation to Xia Shengsheng.

"Aunt, I just followed your method and I haven't even used 30% of my strength yet! He has already confessed everything!"

It turned out that these bandits were just a mob that had just gathered together.

Most of them are ordinary farmers, because there has been no harvest in many places this year, and a wave of grain has been collected in the spring, and they have to pay taxes again in the fall. If they cannot pay, they will have to use others to pay off the debts.

These people have really run out of options, so they gathered together and thought of stealing from wealthy villages. Whether it's silver or food, it can help their families survive a little longer!

This time, it was indeed their first time to take action, but they didn't expect to be caught before they even got any benefits!

As for why Kaoshan Village was chosen?

This is because the man called the boss received advice from a small group of people, who said that Kaoshan Village was the richest village among the nearby villages.

Every household in the village is rich, and this year the most grain was produced in Kaoshan Village, so they attacked Kaoshan Village at night.

As for the names of the group of people who were instructing him, he had no idea, but he could describe their appearance.

Xia Shengsheng guessed that these people asked them to attack Kaoshan Village just to test the strength of Kaoshan Village.

Many people must have heard about how many bandits were killed in Kaoshan Village before. This time they are using this motley crowd to explore the way forward!

Regardless of exploring the way or not, Xia Shengsheng was not afraid. At least they knew that someone was thinking about Kaoshan Village, and they could come up with a countermeasure in advance.

Moreover, maybe those people's fighting ability is not that strong! They don't need to deal with them specially at all.

No matter what, the defense must be increased and the city wall must be built quickly, so as to better protect the villagers of the entire Kaoshan Village.

Xia Shengsheng discussed these with the village chief, who naturally agreed very much and promised to fully cooperate with Xia Shengsheng.

The person who went out to report to the police did not return until dawn.

The yamen brought a total of a dozen yamen runners riding on big horses and holding big swords. After they came, they understood the whole story from the village chief Ma, and invited the village chief Ma and several strong men in the village to return to the yamen to record their statements. Then they took the dozens of bandits away.

Xia Shengsheng just felt that these yamen runners were particularly perfunctory.

Before Zhang Lei left, he specifically asked about what happened when they went to the yamen.

"Oh, we hurried from the village to the government office in the town. It only took us half an hour to get there, but we couldn't open the door no matter how hard we knocked.

It was Brother Erdan who suggested that we go to the back door of the yamen and take a look. Those officials might live in the alley behind.

We thought we could give it a try and went to look for it later, but unexpectedly we actually found the residence of a captain of the police.

At first we didn’t know whether this person was from the government office or not?

It was Brother Erdan. He had seen this chief constable when he was selling things at the market two years ago. The chief constable’s surname was Feng, and he was considered a well-known figure in the yamen, so he knew this.

He told Captain Feng about what happened in the village and wanted him to gather his men and come over quickly.

But Captain Feng took us to the yamen and waited until dawn before he appeared again and asked the yamen runners to come back with us."

From Zhang Lei's words, Xia Shengsheng knew that it seemed that the government office in this town was not doing any good!

It seemed like catching the bandits was already a big deal, but they actually delayed for a whole night before coming to the village to catch them. Aren’t they afraid that something might happen in the meantime?

I don’t know if they are too lazy to catch it or if they have other tricks!

As for the latter, the former is more reassuring.

If the situation really comes to that where officials and bandits collude, the people would be miserable!
