Farming and reading family

She naturally thought that Jiang Zhongren could be of greater use, but it was beyond her ability.

The three men cleaned up the place, tied up Jiang Zhongren, threw him into the carriage and went to He County.

When they arrived outside the city, Gao E asked the two of them to wait outside while she went into the city alone.

Peng Can watched Gao E leave and whispered to Luo Dagang, "Has Brother Luo ever killed anyone?"

Luo Dagang glanced at Peng Can and said, "You talk too much."

Peng Can gave a dry laugh and turned to look at Jiang Zhongren, whose life or death was unknown. He said, "Brother Luo is a hero. Even if he kills someone, he kills those who deserve to be killed."

Why didn't Luo Dagang realize that Peng Can was so talkative before?

Gao E went straight to the back court, where He Tangchun was already waiting.

"There's something I wanted to tell you." He Tangchun spoke first.

"What?" Gao E was a little alert, feeling that what He Tangchun said to her was not good.

"The thief who was sent to Tanzhou Prefecture was killed on the way."

"What?" Gao E was surprised, but she quickly realized, "It seems that Lord He couldn't pry open their mouths either."

He Tangchun shook his head: "The other party must want to kill their leader. The result is that everyone can step down."

"Down the stairs?" Gao E said sarcastically, "Master He wants to take this stairs too?"

He Tangchun lowered his eyes for a moment. "I'm just a seventh-rank county magistrate. I can't stand up to a fight between gods. I'm not someone like Mo Xun, who disregards life and death for justice. I have to stay alive first."

Gao E nodded in agreement with He Tangchun's statement, which was very pragmatic.

If all those who disregard life and death for the pursuit of justice were to die, then there would be no justice in this world.

He Tangchun heaved a sigh of relief when Gao E nodded. He suddenly realized that he was actually afraid of being disliked. "What brings you here today, Madam Chen?"

"I came to the city for something, so I'll ask about those two thieves." Gao E smiled. "Now that we have the result, I'll take my leave."

He Tangchun asked hurriedly, "Do you care about this?"

"Sir He, even officials are afraid of the fight between gods. Of course I am afraid too. After all, I have a family to support." Gao E said weakly.

He Tangchun smiled and said, "In He County, Madam Chen doesn't need to be so afraid."

Gao E didn't dare to take He Tangchun's words seriously. Their Chen family and Lord He didn't have any friendship. Lord He did whatever he wanted based on his mood.

"People like us may die with just a glance from others." Gao E laughed at herself.

She wasn't being self-deprecating, she was just stating a fact.

A person like Li Quan could bring disaster to the Chen family with just a casual word, and he was just a small manager.

He Tangchun didn't know what to say and watched Gao E leave.

From the back door of the yamen to the gate of He County, Gao E's gaze became more and more determined.

She did not regret hinting to Chen Ke to find Mo Xun during the flood, nor did she regret getting involved in Ye Linchuan and Mo Xun's affairs. She just felt that she was developing too slowly and was so weak that those people thought she was an ant.

When Luo Dagang and Peng Can saw Gao E coming back, they jumped off the carriage together.

Gao E looked at the setting sun. It would be dark if they returned to Baotou Village at this time, so she motioned Luo Dagang to follow her to the side.

Luo Dagang followed Gao E to the side.

"Where is Ge Wei buried?" Gao E suddenly asked.

"On the mountain." Luo Dagang didn't know why Gao E suddenly asked this.

"Take off everything from Jiang Zhongren and bury him with Ge Wei." Gao E said directly.

Luo Dagang nodded.

In fact, he also felt that keeping Jiang Zhongren would be a trouble.

Gao E hesitated for a moment before explaining, "The He County government sent the two thieves to Tanzhou Prefecture, but they were intercepted and killed on the way."

Luo Dagang was stunned for a moment: "It will be dark if we return to the village at this time. I will carry him up the mountain at night, just to see if we can interrogate him again."

Luo Dagang knew that this matter was very serious, and the more they knew, the more at ease they might feel.

"No need." Gao E also wanted to know more, but she didn't want to waste time.

Luo Dagang drove the carriage slowly back to Baotou Village. It was completely dark when he arrived at Baotou Village. When he was almost at the village, Luo Dagang knocked Jiang Zhongren unconscious and carried him away on his back.

Peng Can swallowed and didn't ask Luo Dagang what he was going to do.

"Drive the car." Gao E looked at Peng Can's cowardly look.

Peng Can hesitated for a moment before taking out the banknotes and handing them to Gao E. "It's hard for me to suddenly have so much money. I'll put it with Sister Gao first. When I get married, I'll find an excuse to give it to my wife."

Gao E took the banknote and said, "From now on, you have to call me Second Aunt."

This made Peng Can a little uncomfortable.

Chen Ke was waiting for Gao E on the uphill slope and saw his family's carriage move a few steps towards them.

When Gao E heard Peng Can say that Chen Ke was coming to pick her up, she asked him to stop the carriage and got off herself.

"Why are you back so late?" Chen Ke was worried.

"It's a bit busy." Gao E and Chen Ke walked up the hill side by side. "Is everything okay at home?"

"It's okay. I want to visit a talented scholar after the school is completed." Chen Ke and Gao E discussed.

"Okay." Gao E didn't know who Chen Ke was going to visit, but it was definitely someone who would achieve extraordinary things in the future.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "This trip will take a long time. I want Luo Dagang to go with me."

"Okay, I'll talk to him." Gao E nodded.

Gao E agreed so readily that Chen Ke felt a little embarrassed: "Then I'll have to trouble you with the household affairs, madam."

"Where is that talented man from?" Gao E changed the subject.

"I only know that he is from Qinzhou City. I will have to find out the details when the time comes." Chen Ke did not hide it.

"Qinzhou City." Gao E repeated, "That's not too far."

The two of them chatted as they walked up the hill, said hello to the villagers and went home.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, the Chen family sits in the yard and chats after dinner.

Master Xie was telling the children some strange and mysterious things about building a house, and the children were listening with great interest.

Seeing Gao E coming back, the children in the yard stood up and greeted her. She agreed one by one and let the children continue playing.

"I left you some food, it's still hot." Yang brought out the dinner to Gao E. "Why hasn't Luo Dagang come back yet?"

"He has something to do and will be back later." Gao E said as she sat down.

The harmonious atmosphere at home made her feel at ease.

Yang and Gao E sat down together: "There is something I want to discuss with you."

"Yeah." Gao E felt that it was not a good thing.

Yang was embarrassed: "According to the rules here, engaged people cannot see each other. It's not appropriate for Peng Can to come to our house every day." She said this hurriedly, "I don't dislike him, I'm just afraid of offending someone."

Gao E nodded: "Then sister-in-law, tell Yu Ning to stay away when Peng Can comes, so as not to bump into him."

Yang's face froze for a moment. She wanted Peng Can to stay away, but she didn't expect Gao E to say that.

"Yu Ning is preparing her wedding dress and rarely goes out," Gao E added.
