Farming and reading family

Gao E was stunned when she heard this. No wonder Luo Qing'er said that. It turned out that Luo Dagang would really do that.

Luo Qing'er laughed dryly: "I just want to see how Lord Xu judges our village's case, not to see Lord Xu."

Luo Dagang nodded: "Whatever you want to do, you can tell me directly."

"I know." Luo Qing'er nodded.

Gao E thought that Luo Qing'er was unique in having such an elder brother, so she just pretended that she didn't say anything.

The villagers of Batou Village did not return until the afternoon. Everyone was carrying a lot of things, and they bought things that they usually did not want to buy.

They completely understood one thing: if they followed the Chen family, they would have meat to eat.

With this money, I can clean up the house. After all, the house is built, and it won’t do if the doors and windows are too shabby.

When the three Chen brothers came back, they gathered at Chen Ke's house to talk about this matter.

"This time it's all thanks to my second brother." Chen Qing looked at Chen Ke with satisfaction. "Master Xu is obviously biased towards our family."

Chen Ke didn't know what to say. He thought Lord Xu would give him a hard time. "It's mainly because Lord Xu is fair and strict."

"Ah." Chen Jie sighed. "If I had known earlier, I would have studied hard. At least I could have passed the exam and become a scholar. If I could meet an official without kneeling, I would have been a step above the others."

"Third brother can study hard now, maybe he can pass the exam and become a scholar." Chen Ke said with a smile.

Chen Jie laughed it off, but Chen Qing became serious.

In the past, my family was poor and it was difficult to support one person's education. Now that my family is well-off, we have so many books and a good teacher like Mr. Du, it is not impossible for him to continue studying.

"By then, the Chen family will have three scholars in one family, which will be the envy of others." Gao E brought over the washed cherries.

"Three scholars?" Chen Jie was stunned. "I think Zhengyan and the others can all pass the exam, more than three."

"Your second sister-in-law was talking about your eldest brother and you." Chen Ke explained.

Chen Jie looked at his elder brother, and seeing that he didn't refute him, "At our age..."

"It's not impossible." Chen Qing said directly, "We don't expect to become officials. Just like my third brother said, if we don't kneel when we meet an official, it will be more respectable."

Chen Jie thought about it and said: "Then I..."

"Anyway, there are books, schools, and teachers at home. As long as you are willing to study, it's fine." Gao E said with a smile.

Although it's just a joke, this suggestion is really good.

The mulberry trees were planted earlier than expected, after all, more than fifty people were involved in digging the holes.

That morning, Gao E went to the fields to check on the vegetables and fruits she had planted. When she came back, Lu Hao ran over to find her.

"Something big has happened." Lu Hao looked cautious and mysterious.

"What's wrong?" Gao E wondered what big thing could happen at this time.

"The entire Li family was killed overnight." Lu Hao lowered his voice.

"Li Quan's family?" Gao E asked for confirmation.

Lu Hao nodded: "Even the temporary workers at home were killed."

Gao E's face was solemn. Xu Boyan had told her before that if a thief came to the house, she could just deal with it herself. It seemed that he predicted that Yishunbo would not let it go.

This incident was originally caused by Li Quan, and Li Quan was directly killed by Xu Boyan. Xu Boyan should not have told Yishunbo about Luo Qing'er. It depends on whether Yishunbo can find out.

But the Li family was not so lucky, as they were all killed by Yishunbo.

Although he felt that Li Quan deserved the punishment, Yishunbo's behavior was too brutal.

"What did the government say?" Gao E looked solemn.

"The government only sent people to collect the bodies. No one has filed a complaint, and the government has not issued any notice. I'll talk to Sister Gao first, and then ask the people in the government office." Lu Hao was also curious.

"Hmm." Gao E felt that she couldn't find out anything.

Xu Boyan will definitely find a reasonable excuse and the matter will just pass.

After Lu Hao reported the matter, he went back. In order to be on the safe side, Gao E immediately asked Luo Dagang to find Yu Zhao.

After returning home, Gao E found an excuse to let her children live in the school first.

Something has happened to the Li family. If their family is really implicated, it will happen in the next two days.

As long as nothing happens for the next two days, then nothing will happen.

Zhu Mo checked the bodies and came over to report: "It's the killer."

Xu Boyan nodded. He thought that Yishun Bo would not let go of Li Quan's family in Qinzhou City, but he didn't care about that.

The money Li Quan earned was not clean, and every copper coin his family spent was dirty, so they could not be considered innocent.

But it was a bit too much to not let off the temporary workers of the Li family in He County.

A Yishunbo, who was treated like a dog with his tail between his legs in the capital, became so arrogant when he arrived in Qinzhou City?

Could it be that he has been a dog for too long and has become a mad dog?

"Bai Hao will stay in He County to investigate the massacre of the entire Li family. Zhu Mo and I will go to Baotou Village." Xu Boyan said as he was about to set off.

"Do you really want to investigate this matter?" Bai Hao asked hurriedly.

This would mean becoming an enemy of Yishunbo.

"Don't you think that Lord Yishun is a bit too arrogant? Maybe someone promised him something." Xu Boyan said and left.

Bai Hao thought about it and sighed as he looked at the corpse on the ground. They couldn't stop him from doing whatever he wanted.

In the past, the house was very lively during dinner time, but now there are only a few adults here.

"My second sister-in-law is looking for me." Zheng Xiaoshun came in from outside.

Que'er, who was feeling depressed, turned her head when she heard Zheng Xiaoshun's voice, then continued to squat on the ground and draw circles in frustration.

Zheng Xiaoshun felt a little nervous when Que'er looked at him, but he felt relieved when he saw that she didn't care about him.

He hadn't dared to come to see his second sister-in-law for a long time, and didn't know how to face Que'er and Qing'er.

Although...it seems to have nothing to do with him.

"I have something to do at home, so I'll let Que'er stay at your house for a few days." Gao E said directly.

Everyone else could make sense, but since only Zheng Xiaoshun could take care of Que'er, she had no choice but to ask Zheng Xiaoshun to come.

"I'm the only one at home. It's not appropriate for her to live with me." Zheng Xiaoshun refused directly.

"Then it would be appropriate for you to bring her back?" Gao E said unhappily, "It's not like I'm asking you to take responsibility, I'm just asking you to take care of her for a few days."

Zheng Xiaoshun looked around hesitantly: "How many days?"

"Let's see when I'm done with my work." Gao E was not sure.

Zheng Xiaoshun was very reluctant, but he still packed up Que'er's things and left with Que'er.

Que'er no longer likes to hang around Zheng Xiaoshun, and prefers to play with the children at home.

After the last person was arranged, Gao E began to wait.

Yu Zhao brought two people with better skills. There are four people in his family who can fight, and with Lianxin, there are five of them in total, so they should be able to handle it.

Just when Gao E was thinking about how to arrange them to keep watch, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside. Gao E became alert, thinking that those people would not be so arrogant and come so early.

Lianxin went to open the door and saw Lord Xu and Zhu Mo standing outside.

Zhu Mo saw Lian Xin unconsciously looking away.

Xu Boyan went straight into the Chen family without waiting for Lianxin's invitation.

"Lord Xu?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan in confusion.

Xu Boyan looked around the deserted courtyard and asked, "Do you know about the Li family?"
