Farming and reading family

They had never suffered such a loss since they followed Jiang Bu Tong, let alone in a place like this.

Jiang Bu Tong slapped the man on the head and said, "Then go back and fight them."

The man shut up immediately.

"No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today." Jiang Bu Tong ordered.

A group of people nodded hurriedly.

Who would want to tell others about such an embarrassing thing?

Jiang Bu Tong wanted to take revenge, but what could he do?

Their Jiang family relied on Uncle Yishun, but during this period of time, not only did they not gain any benefits, they also lost a lot of money.

This time, they went around to chop firewood and brought it to Qinzhou City to sell in order to make up for the losses. If Uncle Yishun knew about it, he would blame them and the Jiang family would suffer a lot of losses again.

Gao E thought the Jiang family was difficult to deal with, but this is the result?

However, such people are hypocritical, so you should be cautious.

Bai Hao didn't know what was going on, but after one night, the Jiang family's attitude changed drastically. He sent someone to Baotou Village to inquire, and only then did he realize that there was nothing that couldn't be solved with a beating.

So they accepted some money from the Jiang family and released the people. They couldn't keep so many people locked up forever.

Jin Gusheng also sent news that the surrounding villagers were originally tenants of the Zhao family, and they were willing to guard the mountains and forests for them as long as there was land to farm.

With the support of the villagers there, no one would dare to cut down the forests there at will.

The matter was resolved smoothly, but Xu Boyan has not returned yet. It seems that the coal mine issue is more troublesome than she thought.

Qinzhou City is short of firewood now, and the coal mine is indeed much more troublesome than before, but the reason why Xu Boyan is working so slowly is because he handled the matter secretly to save Gao E some trouble.

Cao Dinghui, the prefect of Qinzhou City, did indeed defeat those who opposed him with the help of Yishunbo, but he did not gain any benefits himself.

If Yishunbo wants to cover up everything and completely disregard the lives of the people in Qinzhou City, he must cover it up. Otherwise, if the people in Qinzhou City riot, he, as the prefect, will definitely be convicted.

He originally did not take Xu Boyan seriously, as he was just a county magistrate. However, the incident of the eldest princess and Prince Bin going to He County had caused quite a stir, and was even related to changes in the court situation.

Then Xu Boyan cannot be underestimated.

"Lord Xu, this matter is not easy to handle." Cao Dinghui did not expect that there was a coal mine in He County.

Given the current firewood shortage in Qinzhou City, even if the coal is not easy to use, it can still be sold at a good price.

"Whether it will be easy or not depends on what Lord Cao plans to do." Xu Boyan said with a smile, "I know that Qinzhou City is in serious need of firewood. This coal mine is hot, but it can also be a scorch."

Cao Dinghui was silent.

"Besides, Lord Cao knows best why Qinzhou City is short of firewood. Lord Cao also knows whether this coal mine can fall into Lord Cao's hands." Xu Boyan said in a low voice.

Cao Dinghui's eyes flickered.

He knew in his heart that as soon as coal appeared on the market, Yishunbo would definitely grab it.

"I won't ask for Lord Cao's help in vain. I can give Lord Cao a chance to get out of this unscathed." Xu Boyan said directly.

Cao Dinghui looked at Xu Boyan in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"Lord Cao is certainly aware of the principle that things will turn around when they reach their extremes," Xu Boyan said nonchalantly. "Lord Cao, how long do you think Yishun Bo's actions in Tanzhou City will last?"

Cao Dinghui's heart skipped a beat, wondering if the imperial court was going to take action against Yishun Bo?

He will definitely be implicated then.

"Does Lord Xu have this ability?" Cao Dinghui wanted to get more words out of him.

"Why don't you make a bet, Lord Cao?" Xu Boyan said with a smile.

Cao Dinghui didn't dare to gamble, as that was his life and property.

Besides, there is no loss for me in helping Xu Boyan.

"I can help Lord Xu with this, but Lord Xu also has to promise me that as long as Yishunbo is in Qinzhou City, no coal from Jiming Mountain will appear on the streets of Qinzhou City." Cao Dinghui didn't want to be discovered by Yishunbo.

"Of course." Xu Boyan assured.

"Okay." Cao Dinghui nodded.

The approval document for the coal mine also had to be reviewed at various levels, but Cao Dinghui had great influence in the provincial government and quickly got it done for Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan left Qinzhou City immediately after getting the approval document. He had spent too much time in Qinzhou City and didn't know if anything would happen in He County.

In any case, the approval document for the coal mine has been obtained. Even if the coal mine is discovered, they can hold on for a while with justification. By then, when Yishunbo falls, no one will dare to take over the coal mine.

After returning to He County and learning about what had happened during this period, Xu Boyan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, no major trouble occurred.

He took a good rest and went to look for Gao E. As soon as he arrived at Baotou Village, he smelled the aroma of hot pot. He thought that not every family in Baotou Village eats hot pot.

Actually, it’s almost the same.

Gao E has been making too much soup base recently and has been giving it away everywhere because she can’t finish it.

Gao E was not satisfied with the soup base, but it was too delicious for the people in Baotou Village, and it was easy to eat. They just threw some ingredients in and cooked it every day and it would be a meal.

Gao E felt that she had to stop for a while, otherwise she would be eaten like a hot pot.

"Lord Xu?" Lu Qingluo was not as cold as before when he saw Xu Boyan.

"Your wife is here." Xu Boyan nodded.

Gao E has come out of the kitchen.

"Looking for you." Lu Qingluo called out.

Gao E looked at Xu Boyan's expression and knew that the matter was settled: "Master Xu, please take a seat. Lianxin will serve tea."

Xu Boyan sat down and took out the approval documents and other things: "Now the coal mine in Jiming Mountain is mine. This is the document I gave you to mine it. It has been stamped."

Gao E thought Xu Boyan was very thoughtful and took it to look at it carefully.

"The land deeds and approval documents are with you. Before Yishun Bo comes, you cannot sell the coal to Tanzhou City." Xu Boyan reminded.

"Okay." Gao E said nothing more. "Thank you for your hard work, Master Xu."

"What's the benefit?" Xu Boyan raised his eyebrows.

"Um..." Gao E thought Xu Boyan didn't lack anything. "There is one more thing I need to trouble you with, Lord Xu."

Got it!

Xu Boyan shouldn't have asked: "What?"

"My sister-in-law from my mother's side has a distant cousin who wants to register his household in He County." Gao E said directly.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E and said, "Tell the truth."

If it were really that simple, he could just go to the government office and handle it. There was no need to make him work here.

"The son of an old friend of Brother Chu..." Gao E knew that Xu Boyan could be trusted.

"What's it called specifically?" Xu Boyan saw that Gao E was trying to get away with it again.

"Ji is safe." Gao E muttered softly.

"Is Ji Wuyang?" Xu Boyan looked at Gao E in surprise.

"What? Do you know him?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan's surprised expression.

"Call him over." Xu Boyan's expression was serious.

The Ji family was framed by the prince's party and the entire family was executed. How could Ji Wuyang still be alive?

"What do you want to do?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan warily.

"Don't worry, if he is really the Ji Wuyang I think he is, I want to protect him more than you do." Xu Boyan promised.
