Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The county magistrate of Luoan City was no pushover and he sent out several waves of detectives to capture these people, but this group of people was extremely cunning and they all escaped.

There was no other way, so the prefect could only strengthen the control in the city. Based on the descriptions of those who had survived, he drew portraits of several villains and posted them on the bulletin board in the city. He offered a reward of 100 taels of silver for their capture and strengthened patrols, which greatly ensured the safety of the people in the city.

Now that this group of bandits has been captured by the county lord, everyone is very happy, regardless of whether they are part of the previous group of bandits.

The people became very excited. Some of them even dared to go over and kick the bandits hard a few times, while others picked up clods of earth and threw them at the bandits.

This group of bandits were beaten so badly that they were grimacing and glaring at everyone with red eyes. The people were a little scared at first, but when they saw that the soldiers guarding the city were there and the county lord's guards did not interfere, they all cursed back.

Seeing that the people were outraged and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the guard leader quickly waved his hand to stop the people's actions.

The guard leader led his men to take a group of bandits and throw them into a car. It was not that they wanted to let the bandits have an easy time, but if they didn't drag them into the car, the group would be dragged to death.

Their adults still have to take statements during the interrogation.

Xiao Wan's carriage followed closely behind, and the group arrived at the gate of the Luoan City government office.

Some curious people who had nothing to do also went to the government office to watch the prefect try the case. At the same time, they were curious about the background of this county lady.

The chief of the guards had already sent a clever soldier to inform the prefect in advance.

Luoan City is a major city. Its prefect Yang Huai is a Jinshi in the third year of Yuande. His father is Yang Chengxian, the Minister of Justice in the capital, so he is also from a noble family.

Yang Huai came from a noble family, but like his father, he possessed a sense of justice and integrity that was not common among aristocratic families.

During the few years he was exiled to Luoan City, Yang Huai did a lot of practical things for the people in the city, and there was no case of favoritism, abuse of power, or acceptance of bribes.

The people live and work in peace and contentment. Luoan City is a rare and good place.

This can be seen from the way here. The people are in good spirits and there is no sadness on their faces.

Moreover, there were many guards entering and leaving the city gates, but the people passing by did not show any fear on their faces. Instead, they looked like they were dependent on them, just like in modern times, when we see soldiers, we feel extra safe.

It can be seen that this prefect is indeed a good official who gets things done.

I just heard from the guard leader that the number of troops at the city gate has been increased a lot, just to prevent this group of bandits from taking the opportunity to sneak into the city. The prefect has also repeatedly asked the troops stationed nearby to cooperate in the arrest.

But the bandits were so cunning that they were unable to catch them all.

Unexpectedly, they were met by Xiao Wan and the others this time, and this group of bandits were in trouble.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the government office, the prefect Yang Huai was waiting outside the office in official uniform.

Xiao Wan didn't expect that a peasant girl like her could have the prefect waiting for her at the gate of the mansion, and she felt a little flattered.

After all, although she was a second-rank county lady, three ranks higher than the fifth-rank prefect, the prefect had real power over the entire province, so it was only natural for him not to wait for her at the door.

Since the other party is so polite, Xiao Wan can't be arrogant.

She also hurriedly got out of the car to greet him. Yang Huai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted solemnly. Xiao Wan hurriedly told Yang Huai not to be polite.

Yang Huai insisted on completing the ceremony, then spoke solemnly, "This humble official greets the Princess Huide. I am grateful to the Princess for discovering food like potatoes and for generously offering them so that people all over the world can have enough to eat and no longer suffer from hunger. I admire the Princess's generosity."

So that's why. No wonder Yang Huai was waiting for her here specifically, just to thank her for offering the potato crop, which greatly solved the problem of food and clothing for the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

From this we can see that Yang Huai is indeed a good official who cares about the people and the world, and always pays attention to people's livelihood issues.

Xiao Wan felt a surge of respect and quickly waved her hand, "Lord Yang, you're too polite. My family is just ordinary farmers digging for food in the fields. We understand how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive and we empathize with them. It's a coincidence that we have such food. It's also an opportunity for our Yuan Dynasty. God bless the Yuan Dynasty."

Yang Huai saw that this county lady, who came from a peasant family, acted steadily and spoke eloquently and clearly. Although she had been named a county lady, she did not shy away from her peasant origin.

Moreover, this county lady had a beautiful appearance and clear eyes. If you didn't tell her background, she didn't look like a peasant girl at all.

She has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, but she is more free and easy and broad-minded than a lady from a noble family, and is not inferior to a man.
