Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

"mother!"

"grandmother!"

"Wife!"

Xu Xiuxiu, Huo Shuang'er, and Huo Gang rushed forward to catch Ding who was about to fall, their eyes full of anxiety.

"Why should we believe what he says? I don't believe it!" Huo Gang persuaded, then turned to look at Huang Ziqiu and questioned, "You are taking advantage of my daughter-in-law's absence to rob me. I tell you, if she comes back, you will be in trouble!"

"You stinky old man," Huang Ziqiu grabbed Huo Gang's collar and hit him, "I'll beat you to death!"

But who was Huo Gang? He was a soldier who had been to the battlefield before. He threw Huang Ziqiu to the ground with a backhand hug and snorted coldly: "Boy, you want to fight me with your mediocre skills? You are overestimating yourself."

"Hey, hey! I'm County Magistrate Wang's man. You dare to hit me? I'll make you pay!"

Huang Ziqiu covered his waist which was hurt from the fall and shouted for help. The other yamen runners immediately surrounded Huo Gang.

They started fighting in an instant, and the yard became chaotic. The mixed sounds of crying, cursing, and fighting attracted a lot of onlookers.

The villagers were very angry, especially those working in the fishery who immediately stepped forward to help when they saw this situation.

Shen Daniu shouted, "Even if you are from the government office, you can't hit people at will!"

After saying that, he grabbed a yamen runner and threw him out, and quickly got rid of all the yamen runners who were surrounding and beating him.

"You troublemakers, you actually ignore the law!" Huang Ziqiu was furious, but when he turned around, he saw many villagers gathered outside the yard. If all the villagers took action, wouldn't they tear him to pieces?

But didn't Auntie say that the people of Dayu Village were not united? But with those murderous eyes, how could they be disunited?

"Huang Ziqiu!" Xia Wude walked in from the crowd and said, "Are you Mrs. Huang's nephew?"

Huang Ziqiu stiffened his neck and said, "So what?"

"You're targeting the Huo family so much. I can't help but suspect you're taking personal revenge." Xia Wude approached Huang Ziqiu, staring into his eyes without moving. "I've already sent someone to Liangzhou City to report this matter to the prefect. I hope he can investigate thoroughly."

"You are such a good guy, Xia Wude! You report to a higher level. Do you still want to be the village head?" Huang Ziqiu said angrily.

"Whether I continue to be the village head or not is not up to you, Huang Ziqiu, or County Magistrate Wang," Xia Wude said firmly. "I was elected by the villagers. I don't believe you can still be the master of my villagers."

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers began to slowly pour into the courtyard. When Huang Ziqiu saw this scene, his expression immediately changed.

"Get out of here!"

Huang Ziqiu left the courtyard and turned to the villagers, shouting, "Just wait and see!"

Once the yamen runners left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Someone then began to ask, "Brother Huo, what on earth happened? This yamen has always been on good terms with our village. Why has their attitude changed so drastically now?"

"Also, they just said that Qingqing and the others were in trouble. Is that true?"

"You must tell us the truth!"

The villagers and the workers were a little anxious. At this time, Taohua stood up and said with a stern face: "What are you panicking about!"

Taohua had long established a certain prestige among the villagers, but now with a cold face, they all stopped talking.

"Rumors are just rumors after all. Besides, everything is running smoothly. During the time that Mr. Xia was out delivering goods, how could we owe you any money?"

"Just do your job well, and don't worry about anything else!"

"During the time when the boss is back, those who do well will be rewarded, and those who don't will be kicked out!"

After Taohua finished speaking, the villagers lowered their heads and dared not speak. Only one person muttered quietly: "What's so great about you? Aren't you just showing off while the boss is away? Wait until the boss comes back and see what you can do?"

……

In any case, the turmoil was over. The villagers all left and sent Ding to take care of the children. Only Xia Wude, Huo Gang, Bai Erniang and Xu Xiuxiu were left in the house.

"Taohua, has something serious happened? You can't hide it from us!" Xia Wude said to Taohua while sitting on the kang. "We are also old bones who have experienced many things. Don't carry it alone at this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Taohua burst into tears.

She said, "Seven Treasures City has suffered a natural disaster, and we businessmen are asked to donate money, ten thousand taels."

Snapped!

Xia Wude slammed the table and cursed, "Robbery? Ten thousand taels! Is this still a donation?"

Huo Gang gritted his teeth and said, "They are taking advantage of Qingqing's absence to rob her. My guess was right. He even lied to me and said that Qingqing was in trouble."

Sister Taohua hesitated to speak, and Xu Xiuxiu quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and asked, "Did something really happen to them? Right?"

Bai Erniang also had a bad feeling in her heart. If it was really ten thousand taels, she would definitely find a way instead of crying so bitterly.

"I was analyzing this all the way here," Taohua said, quickly wiping away her tears. "Wang Pingzhi and Huang Ziqiu said that Prefect Liang sent a message saying that Qingqing and her group had entered Qibao City and died when the earth dragon flipped over."

"We all know the character of Magistrate Liang. For something this serious, he would at least arrange for Xiao Shunzi to report it instead of having someone else deliver it. So I suspect they are indeed in Qibao City, but no one knows what the situation is right now."

Everyone was silent for a while. Huo Gang nodded and looked at Taohua, saying, "Good analysis. Qingqing is very skilled, so she should be fine."

Xia Wude's heart finally relaxed a little, and he turned around and said, "The problem now is the matter of the ten thousand taels! Why not ask the Ning Dong family and the Ouyang family for help and see if the amount can be reduced?"

Taohua shook her head and said, "They can't even protect themselves right now. County Magistrate Wang Pingzhi is clearly targeting our bosses. Boss Ning was beaten up in the yamen today, and even Boss Li was implicated..."

"What!" Xia Wude couldn't believe it and said angrily, "Is there any justice in this world?"

The wind suddenly blew up and the rain poured down, and everyone in the house fell into dead silence.

At this moment, a big horse stopped at the door. The person on the horse was wearing a straw raincoat and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

The man led the horse to the stable, then immediately ran into the house and untied the horse. Then everyone could see who it was. It turned out to be Shen Xiaoniu.

"Xiao Niu, why are you here?" Taohua stepped forward and asked, "How are the injuries of Boss Ning and Boss Xiao Li? And are there any people from the government causing trouble over there?"

"Both owners only have minor injuries, they're fine," Shen Xiaoniu clenched his fists and said, "It's just that a group of soldiers came to Fengqi Pavilion and forced them to close!"
