Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that the court was on the same page with them.

"Haha, County Magistrate Xia is so open-minded. I thought the court would protect such a shameless villain." Lin Yang's hearty laughter echoed among the mountains and forests.

Fu Qiuer and Zhao Yihang both looked ashen.

He took a deep breath and thought the court would make a different decision, but it turned out to be another death.

It's death anyway, no matter who kills him.

"However, I'm only the magistrate of Qinghe Town, so Yizhou's affairs are not under my jurisdiction," Xia Qingqing said to the villagers. "Hand them over to the Yizhou prefect. He will convict them, whether it's beheading, bisection, dismemberment, or even slow slicing. Any of these are possible."

When everyone heard that there was such a good flower after death, it seemed not bad.

It would be better if he was executed by slow slicing.

When I think about it, the imperial court is not bad.

"That's about right." Lin Yang nodded.

Qingfeng immediately said, "Since everyone thinks it's a good idea, then lock him up and have Zhuzi go to Yizhou to invite the prefect."

Xia Qingqing nodded and said, "That's best."

Everyone agreed, and when they looked at Zhao Yihang and the other man, they had already fainted from fright.

The two were quickly carried away.

Just as Xia Qingqing was about to leave the mountain, she was stopped by the crowd. Lin Yang rubbed his hands helplessly and said, "Xia County Magistrate, since you can come to us, why don't you teach us some survival skills? Why can't the crops we plant grow? Can you help us become rich too?"

After saying this, he felt that his request seemed excessive, so he changed his words and said, "As long as I have enough food and warm clothes, that's enough."

Seeing the eager eyes of the villagers, Xia Qingqing said, "Since you're here, I won't leave you alone."

When the villagers heard this, they showed happy expressions on their faces and looked at Xia Qingqing.

She continued, "As the saying goes, 'live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.' Our small fishing village naturally relies on the sea for survival. What do you think you should rely on?"

Everyone turned their heads and took a look at the endless mountains. It seemed that they had the answer in their hearts, but they were reluctant to admit it.

"We rely on the mountains for survival, but you are completely ignorant of the precious treasures within them, and you've even turned the mountains into flat ground."

“He’s also a talent.”

Xia Qingqing had to admit that these people had the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, but the direction was wrong, and no matter how hard they tried, it would be wrong.

The villagers blushed with embarrassment, as if they really had no idea what precious things were in this mountain.

"Forget it, wait for me at the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning. I will take you to see the real treasures in the mountains." Xia Qingqing said seriously.

"it is good."

With Xia Qingqing's assurance, the villagers became happy and let Xia Qingqing leave.

As a member of the Lin family, Qingfeng naturally began to organize the aftermath at this time.

He first gathered a few literate young people and several older people to start distributing the food produced in the villa to each family.

Everyone who received the food went back to cook.

Since the Lin family's innocence had been restored, Linfeng Villa naturally returned Qingfeng to Qingfeng. The people of Linfeng Villa packed up their bags and returned home.

Many people burst into tears the moment they stepped into the villa. All the grievances they had suffered over the years were completely released at this moment.

After crying for a while, she cried again in front of the tombstone of Master Lin, and cried again while eating.

In short, after the day was over, many people fell asleep in tears.

Xia Qingqing didn't have to sleep in a tent that night. Qingfeng prepared the best room for her in the villa and let her live in it.

The next day, as soon as I got up early in the morning, I heard some chattering outside. When I went out, I saw a large group of people standing there.

"Xia County Magistrate, we are not in a hurry. Please take your time to eat."

Xia Qingqing was eating when she spat out a mouthful of porridge. She didn't look like she was not in a hurry.

He ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then led everyone up the mountain.

In the next few days, Xia Qingqing taught the villagers how to identify the treasures in the mountains, which mushrooms are poisonous and which fungi are the most valuable.

What fruits are edible, what are medicinal herbs...

The villagers studied very seriously and when they came back they compiled a booklet to record it for future generations.

At this time, Xia Qingqing also discovered that the people here might have inherited this from their ancestors. Although they were stupid, they were very strong.

She suggested that the villagers should practice martial arts so that they could find good jobs outside. After all, all the major families liked guards with martial arts skills.

The same goes for the royal family.

In addition, Xia Qingqing did not waste the hill that was razed to the ground. Since that was the case, there was no need to waste it.

She helped everyone plant some seeds of fruits and vegetables, and instructed people to record the entire process and precautions from how to pay taxes, apply fertilizers to the results.

In this way, this large piece of land will not be wasted, and everyone can still eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

A few days later, Zhuzi came back. He not only brought back the prefect and soldiers of Yizhou, but also brought a lot of food and fodder.

It took Xia Qingqing more than half a month to settle everything here.

However, the results are good.

It was time for them to leave. Before dawn, Mulan pulled the carriage out. When she saw Xia Qingqing, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Sister, aren't we waiting for Qingfeng?"

Xia Qingqing's eyes moistened as she comforted Mulan, "This is his home. After so many years of wandering, it's time for him to return."

Mulan knew it, but they had worked together for a long time and were used to spending time together.

Now that they were suddenly separated, she felt a little sad.

Just as Xia Qingqing was about to mount the horse, she heard some noise and saw Qingfeng running out of the house. When he saw that they were pulling the carriage, he suddenly panicked.

He had imagined the scene of separation countless times, but today, when it finally came, he realized how painful it was.

"You're not going to take me with you?"

At this moment, he was like an abandoned kitten, speaking with a tearful tone and a hint of grievance.

"Qingfeng," Xia Qingqing walked over slowly and said seriously, "I'm sorry, it's really not right for you to leave without saying goodbye. Linfeng Town is just getting back on track, and they still need you."

"When everything is settled, we'll be waiting for you in Dayu Village," Xia Qingqing glanced at Mulan and said, "Next time you come, I'll betroth Mulan to you."

After these words were spoken, both of them blushed. Qingfeng quickly said, "Qingqing, please stop trying to match people up. Mulan has someone else in her heart."

"Huh?" Now it was Xia Qingqing's turn to be confused. She turned around and asked curiously, "Who is it? Tell me quickly?"

Mulan blushed so much that blood was about to drip out. She shook her head and said, "Sister Qingqing, don't listen to Qingfeng's nonsense. How could I have anyone else in my heart?"
