Farming and reading family

When Jiang Qi heard that the two of them said different things, his eyes rolled. Since they had different opinions, they could discuss the matter.

"I know this is not about money. We should give it. Why don't you let your boss calculate how much these firewoods are worth, and then we will give it to you now." Jiang Qi said with a smile.

Lu Qingluo drew his sword and pressed it against Jiang Qi's nose: "I said it's not about money."

Jiang Qi raised his hand and looked at Chu Rong.

Chu Rong said he didn't see it. Qingluo girl has a bad temper, but she is closer to Gao E.

"You are stealing." Lu Qingluo's eyes were sharp.

Jiang Qi naturally knew that they were thieves, but he couldn't say that: "We couldn't find the owner of this mountain, so we had to say this. Now that you've found us, let's talk it out."

Lu Qingluo didn't know what to say for a moment. Gao E asked them to stop these people, but didn't say what to do after stopping them.

I should have asked earlier.

"Let all your people retreat." Chu Rong ordered.

Jiang Qi hesitated.

"Hurry!" Lu Qingluo put the tip of his sword against Jiang Qi's nose.

Jiang Qi felt a chill on his nose. "Quick, quick, quick, get the tree cutters to move back down."

Someone on the side started beating a gong, and soon people came down from the mountain. There were probably dozens of people.

Chu Rong's eyes were gloomy. Fortunately, he brought Lu Qingluo and Luo Dagang with him. If he had brought ordinary people, they really wouldn't be able to handle it.

With so many people, it only took a few days to cut down the entire area.

Lu Qingluo looked at Chu Rong.

"Tie them all up and send them to the yamen." Chu Rong said directly.

"Sir, we are from Qinzhou City." Jiang Qi said carefully.

The implication was that he wanted them to send him to the government office in Qinzhou City.

"Send the case to the government office where the crime was committed, and then check the household registration." Chu Rong said directly.

Jiang Qi didn't expect to meet someone who understood. "Sir, this whole thing is definitely a loss for both sides and a fattening for the government. Why don't we settle it privately? I'll give you some extra money."

Going to other yamen may make the yamen richer, but it is different for the Hexian yamen.

"Tie them up." Chu Rong didn't waste any words.

Luo Dagang went to get a rope. It would take a while to tie up so many people.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Jiang Qi shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, run! These people want to arrest us and take us to the authorities..."

Lu Qingluo shook his wrist, leaving a blood mark on Jiang Qi's face. Jiang Qi touched the blood on his palm and fainted.

When those people who were cutting down trees heard that they were going to be taken to see the authorities, they ran away as fast as they could. With so many people around, it was impossible for the three of them to catch up.

Lu Qingluo looked at Chu Rong.

"Take these people back first." Chu Rong was careless.

They immediately left Luo Dagang here and took away all the guards who had been knocked down before.

Chu Rong and his companions, along with Jiang Qi and the others, did not rush on their journey but walked slowly. In winter, walking slowly on the road was torture for these people.

Gao E was waiting for news at home and was not in a hurry to plan the operation of the coal mine. According to Xu Boyan and Jin Ruyi, the current environment was not good and she might not be able to keep the coal mine.

So let’s plan to open a hot pot restaurant and first finalize the recipe for the soup base.

For this reason, she eats hot pot whenever she has time this winter.

It was already the afternoon of the third day when Chu Rong and the others returned. Gao E immediately asked He to prepare some food for them. While eating, Chu Rong told them about the situation over there.

"Those people are now all locked up in the He County Jail, waiting for Lord Xu to come back to deal with them." Chu Rong was indeed a little hungry after the past two days of tossing and turning, and he hadn't eaten well outside.

Gao E didn't know who the Jiang family was in Qinzhou City. She would ask Jin Ruyi later, or wait for them to come to her house.

"Then you two should take a good rest. If the other party comes, we will probably have to deal with it." Gao E said slowly.

Nowadays, those who are able to live well in Qinzhou City are more or less connected with Uncle Yishun, so she still needs to be cautious.

"Are you afraid of those people?" Lu Qingluo looked at Gao E.

"I'm not afraid of them, I just don't want so many troubles." Gao E said unhappily.

"What should we do with the wood that has been cut down there?" Chu Rong suddenly thought of this.

"Uncle Jin and the others have gone there and should be able to handle it." Gao E guessed.

With Jin Gusheng's ability, he should be better at handling this kind of thing than her, so she doesn't have to worry.

It’s just that Xu Boyan took a long time to go to Qinzhou City. I hope nothing unexpected happened.

There was nothing she could do now but wait.

That day, Gao E was looking at the mask that Wei Kai made for Ji Wuyang when there was a hurried knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw it was Yang Laogou.

He had taught Peng Can how to train homing pigeons before, so he was quite familiar with this place.

"Master Yang?" Gao E was surprised.

"Mr. Bai asked me to tell Madam Chen that someone from the Jiang family in Qinzhou City has come, and he is dealing with them. In case they come looking for her, Madam Chen should be prepared." Yang Laogou said nervously.

Gao E looked at Yang Lao Gou and asked, "Are there many of them?"

"More than twenty of them, looking ferocious." Yang Laogou gestured.

Gao E nodded and gave Yang Laogou a few copper coins. Yang Laogou was so happy that he bowed and thanked her.

Bai Hao even asked Yang Laogou to come and report the news. It seems that the government office is under a lot of pressure.

After Yang Laogou left, Gao E began to prepare. She couldn't let herself be bullied on her own territory.

The one who came from the Jiang family was Jiang Bu Tong. If they relied on Uncle Yishun, their Jiang family would also be a well-known presence in Qinzhou City. How could they be bullied by people from a small He County?

As the saying goes, cats have their ways and dogs have their ways. Jiang Bu Tong actually found out that the owner of that forest was the Chen family from Baotou Village.

Regardless of the fact that it was already late, he immediately went to Baotou Village before the city gate was closed.

When they arrived at Batou Village, it was already completely dark. The dense sound of horse hooves startled the villagers of Batou Village, so they went out with hoes and machetes to see what was going on.

Jiang Bu Tong was just about to ask where the Chen family was when he saw what those people were holding and wondered if he had entered a bandit's den.

"Fellow villager, can you tell me how to get to the Chen family? Let's talk about some business." Jiang Bu Tong said with a smile.

Zheng Fengan looked at them and felt that they were not good people: "Who would be so good as to discuss business at night?"

"This is not a coincidence, we are very familiar with the Chen family." Jiang Bu Tong laughed.

Normally, he wouldn't even look at these peasants, but today, it looked like these people were not to be trifled with.

"I'm very familiar with the Chen family, but I don't know where they live?" Zheng Fengan asked back.

Jiang Bu Tong, this old man is really shrewd: "We used to discuss business in the city, this is the first time we visit your house."

Zheng Fengan knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it, but he was definitely here to find the Chen family.

"The eldest brother of the Chen family is here." Someone on the side shouted.

Chen Qing walked past the crowd and came to the front: "What do you want?"

Jiang Bu Tong looked at Chen Qing's honest appearance. How could the forest belong to him? It was not easy for him to say in front of so many people that he didn't know which Chen family it was.

"Let's talk about the forest on Jiming Mountain." Jiang Bu Tong said stiffly.

"Jiming Mountain?" Chen Qing frowned. "What does the forest there have to do with us?"
