Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

Su hurriedly covered Xiaowan with a quilt, boiled some hot water, cooked some meat porridge and fed her half a bowl of it before watching her fall asleep.

"I'll take care of Xiaowan here, you go to bed and take a nap." After eating, Old Mrs. Ye patted Su who was lying on the bed.

Old Mrs. Ye was the mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to do that and quickly refused.

Boss Ye heard the noise and walked in. After finding out the reason, he smiled and said, "You all go to sleep, I'll keep watch. Dad hasn't come back yet, and I can't sleep well."

"That's fine. You stay here for an hour. If your father hasn't come back yet, wake me up." Old Mrs. Ye instructed.

She checked Boss Ye carefully and found no injuries, but she was still a little worried about Old Man Ye.

But the more worried you are, the more you need to rest well and ensure your health.

When Old Man Ye came back, it was already evening. Ye Wan's fever had subsided and she was collecting dried vegetables in the yard.

Only then did everyone understand the whole story from Old Man Ye.

Ye Fugui at the entrance of the village harvested wheat and corn these days. His family is small and the yard is small. The grain cannot be dried in the yard, so he dried it outside the yard, but he didn't expect to be spotted by people from other villages.

Huangcun in the same county is not as wealthy as Yejiacun because it has no water for irrigation and little land. It is also a notoriously poor village in the surrounding area.

Although the government order has been issued, they are greedy and mostly planted rice this year. Now they are facing a drought and have no harvest. They have reached the point where they can't even eat, so they decided to give it a try.

The village selected more than a dozen men to come to Yejia Village to rob food. They kept watch at the entrance of the village for several days. After figuring out the patrol pattern, they decided to attack Ye Fugui's family, which was the closest.

Not only did Ye Fugui's family collect the grain, but they also had some stored grain. Also, they were at the entrance of the village, so stealing the grain would not alert too many people and it was also convenient for them to retreat.

Normally these people were honest farmers who resorted to robbery because they were desperate. They just wanted food and would not hurt anyone if possible. This gave Ye Fugui's seven-year-old grandson a chance to escape and get help.

The patrol team in the village was not just for show. They caught almost all the people soon after they arrived, but there was one who was particularly clever and escaped. The subsequent noise was caused by catching the person who escaped.

Since it was an armed fight, some members of the patrol team suffered minor injuries, but none of them hit vital parts.

Only Ye Fugui's eldest son was injured in the thigh by the gangsters while protecting his wife and children at home, and it took several months to recover.

Compared to the consequences of food being stolen and family members starving to death, or being beaten to death by criminals, this is the best outcome.

But everyone knows the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent, and this incident has sounded the alarm for all the villagers.

Ye Guo was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't even stop in the provincial capital or county town along the way. When he returned to the village, Ye Anshun was unsurprisingly the first to discover him.

Ye Guo's team was too large and was still conspicuous even in the night.

On the contrary, it was those people who robbed food last night who were scattered and had small targets, so they were allowed to sneak in.

"Xiaoguo? It's Xiaoguo who's back." The moment Ye Anshun saw Ye Guo, he was so happy that he cried, like a young boy, and he almost circled around the carriage.

"It's me and Xiao An. How are you guys doing lately?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked this question, but when he asked Ye Anshun and the other patrol team members around him, he poured out all his grievances.

Ye Guo took the time to look at Guard Lu who was following him. The latter quickly understood what he meant and asked Liang Yuan and his men to take the lead and quickly escort the ox cart to the oil press in the village.

Only that place could accommodate so many ox carts.

Father Ye and his men all came after hearing the news, even the Third Master came. Ye Wan tried to squeeze in and call her "Auntie" several times, but was squeezed out by others.

It was Ye Guo who had good eyesight. When he saw her in the crowd, he quickly asked Aunt Liu for help and finally took the person in his hand.

Those who stole the grain were still imprisoned in the ancestral temple, so Ye Guo's first stop on his way home was the ancestral temple.

"Even if we send these people to the county government office, I estimate that they will only be detained for a few days at most and then released." The head of the village said with a look of deep sorrow.

Old Man Ye agreed with this.

These people are all good citizens who came to Yejia Village because they were extremely hungry. If they really detained them, the entire Huang Village would probably go to the government to make trouble.

Now that the drought has become a reality, many robbers have formed around the area, and Magistrate Lu is now busy suppressing the bandits, so he has no time to take care of such trivial matters.

Moreover, after they are taken into custody, the county government still has to provide them with food. Now they are all waiting for disaster relief from higher authorities. How can they feed so many mouths? So it is likely that the matter will be made nothing of itself.

Of course, now that Ye Guo is back and she is handling the matter personally, the outcome will definitely be different.

But in Ye Guo's opinion, there is not much difference in essence.

Morality, justice, and even the law must give way to the issue of eating.

From north to south, the number of refugees Ye Guo saw did not increase, but instead showed a trend of gradual decrease, and he finally felt better.

The grain output in the south is indeed higher than that in the north, so the ability to resist disasters is also stronger.

She originally thought the situation was good, but she didn't expect to be hit hard when she returned to the village.

Not only Ye Guo understood it, but other people in Yejia Village also understood it.

Huangcun was the first to come and steal food, but he would definitely not be the last.

According to the head of the village, all the surrounding villages are short of food now, and Yejia Village is like a piece of fat meat. You never know when someone will want to take a bite.

If we want to create external deterrence, it is particularly important to deal with those who stole food this time.

"Then kill them all."

As soon as Ye Guo said this, not only the people in Yejia Village, but even the robbers who were tied up and thought their lives were safe, were shocked.

After a long silence, the headman's voice trembled, "Xiao Guo, are you kidding?"

Father Ye also thought it was impossible and said with a smile, "Xiao Guo, killing people is against the law."

Then everyone heard Guard Lu speak coldly, "Of course, it is illegal for you to kill people. But they offended the Ningguo County Lady, and killing them is already the minimum punishment. Even if it harms their family, I believe Magistrate Lu will personally lead the team to arrest them."

Everyone present: ...

"Let Commander Liang take the man away and deal with him. I don't want to see bloodshed."

"Yes, County Lord."

In this casual manner, Ye Guo decided the life and death of these people.

Ye Guo, however, did not take it seriously. He still sat in the first seat, raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as I am in Yejia Village, anyone who offends Yejia Village will be killed without mercy."

When Liang Yuan and his men appeared in unison, everyone present was shocked to the point of not daring to breathe.

At this moment, Ye Guo's image in everyone's mind suddenly changed from a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering to a rakshasa who can take people's lives at any time.
