Farming and reading family

Yan Zheng nodded after hearing Gao E's instructions and left with his mother.

"I'll go apply medicine for you." Gao E took Lu Qingluo to the backyard.

Lu Qingluo felt that he had become too pampered in recent years and even felt pain from such a small injury.

"Is there something wrong with those bandits?" Gao E asked while applying medicine to Lu Qingluo.

"Ji Wuyang feels there is a problem." Lu Qingluo didn't know what the problem was.

Gao E nodded: "I'm glad that everyone is okay."

Lu Qingluo and his men were fine, and Ji Wuyang watched as those men changed their clothes and entered the city openly.

It was not convenient for him to enter the city, but he was sure that those people were definitely not refugees.

After waiting at the gate of Qinzhou City for two days, he didn't see those people come out. Instead, he saw the funeral of Lord Yan. It was not convenient for him to inquire about the news here, so he had to leave first.

Gao E heard Ji Wuyang say this and knew there must be something fishy going on: "What do you think is the possibility?"

"Expand the impact of this incident and get the court to send troops." Ji Wuyang said directly, "Lord Yan is an official appointed by the court. Yan Congfang is doing well in the army now. If his family members died as refugees, he would definitely come back."

"Who will benefit from it?" Gao E analyzed.

"It will benefit everyone in Qinzhou City." Ji Wuyang said solemnly.

Gao E thought about it carefully.

The person who came to report the news that day mentioned Deng Yu many times, and was obviously very dissatisfied with Deng Yu. He might have felt that Lord Yan died because of Deng Yu.

"If you see those people, can you still recognize them?" Gao E felt that this was not a difficult task.

"Yes." Ji Wuyang was very sure.

"Okay." Gao E nodded. "Go find He Jiabei."

He Jiabei was originally from Qinzhou City and had some connections there. He could easily enter the city with his household registration, so it was normal for him to bring a refugee with a dirty face.

Ji Wuyang sneaked into Qinzhou City in this way.

The Tanzhou prefectural government office had been burned down. Ji Wuyang took advantage of the night to find Deng Yu's residence, but saw people drinking and singing and dancing there, as if they were celebrating something.

Ji Wuyang hid on the beam for a long time and finally saw a familiar face, the man who had killed Madam Yan and her son that day.

The man whispered a few words in Deng Yu's ear, and Deng Yu apologized to the people inside and left.

Ji Wuyang followed and saw that the people who had previously killed Madam Yan and her son were there, as well as several carriages.

Deng Yu gave a few instructions, and those people bowed and drove away in the carriage.

Ji Wuyang frowned, not knowing what they were going to do.

He followed her to the city gate but couldn't get out. Now the city wall was under martial law, so it was impossible for him to climb over the wall.

He Jiabei was a little nervous and didn't sleep well at night. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately got up and opened it.

"Master Wu, you are finally back." He Jiabei sighed.

"Do you have any way to leave the city now?" Ji Wuyang asked directly.

He Jiabei hesitated for a long time: "It costs money."

"Money is not a problem." Ji Wuyang said generously.

He Jiabei stretched out his hand.

"You pay for it first." Ji Wuyang went out without bringing any money.

"I'm just saying that because I'm not good enough." He Jiabei spread his hands.

The two of them stared at each other and had to wait until dawn.

As soon as the sun rose, Ji Wuyang and He Jiabei rode out of the city. Ji Wuyang chased the group of people, while He Jiabei returned to Baotou Village to report the situation there.

That group of people had six carriages, and even if they traveled all night, they would not be able to go very far. Ji Wuyang rode his horse and chased them for a whole day and caught up with them when it was almost dark.

They seemed to be deliberately avoiding crowded places to rest, and rested not far from a town.

Ji Wuyang counted that there were twenty-three people on the other side. If he rushed over to fight, it would make too much noise and he might not win, so he hid aside and waited for the opportunity.

Finally someone got up in the middle of the night, and he followed and took care of one of them.

After a while, two people came over jokingly looking for someone, but were dealt with by Ji Wuyang again.

After three people didn't return, those people became alert and four people came to check.

Ji Wuyang took the opportunity to sneak into their camp and slashed the throats of those who were resting.

By the time those people found out, Ji Wuyang had already killed more than a dozen people.

Ji Wuyang did not kill all the remaining people. He left two alive. One of them looked like the team leader, so he knocked him out and threw him into the car.

He was shocked when he opened the boxes on the carriage. They were full of gold, silver and jewelry. No wonder these people had to secretly leave Qinzhou City at night.

Ji Wuyang didn't rest either, but drove the carriage back.

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought He Jiabei with me so that we could take turns driving the car.

He couldn't find a place to rest, so he drove the carriage slowly back.

When passing by Qinzhou City, Ji Wuyang used a branch to throw mud on the carriage, making it impossible to tell what it originally looked like.

Fortunately, Luo Dagang, Chu Rong and others came to support us just after they passed Qinzhou City.

"You guys drive the carriage, I'll rest for a while." Ji Wuyang gave the instructions and got into the carriage to sleep.

Luo Dagang and Chu Rong did not ask Ji Wuyang where so many carriages came from. They took the carriages and found a place to rest and let the horses rest. The horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth.

It was two days later when they returned to Batou Village. After Ji Wuyang had rested well, he recounted the whole incident in detail.

"So Lord Yan's matter is really related to Deng Yu?" Gao E guessed.

"At least the murder of Madam Yan and her son was related to him." Ji Wuyang's expression was solemn.

Gao E nodded: "How about those two people?"

"I won't die, so keep it for now."

Gao E asked Lianxin to move the things from the carriage into the warehouse and opened it to check.

Why did she feel that Deng Yu was also a bandit, as he could actually steal so many things?

Suddenly she felt that something looked familiar. She took it in her hand and looked at it carefully. She felt that Madam Yan had worn this Huasheng before, when she and Lord Cao went to the Yan family for dinner.

Thinking of this, she took Huasheng and went directly to find Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan was currently living at the Chen family's house. Seeing the jewelry Gao E had brought, she was shocked: "Where did Mrs. Chen get it from?"

"Is this really Mrs. Yan's?" Gao E was almost certain based on Mrs. Yan's reaction.

Mrs. Yan turned over the jewelry and saw her nickname engraved on it. It was a birthday gift from her husband. Tears immediately fell from her eyes again.

"Mrs. Yan, please accept my condolences." Gao E comforted.

"Where did this thing come from?" Mrs. Yan stared at Gao E.

"Before Madam Yan was assassinated, Wu Yang tracked down the bandits and found out that they were related to Prefect Deng. Prefect Deng asked the bandits to transport some things away. In order to catch the bandits, Wu Yang brought these things back." Gao E did not hide it.

"What?" Mrs. Yan was shocked. "Could it be..." She looked at the Huasheng in her hand.

"There are some more things. Madam Yan, please take a look and see if they belong to the Yan family." Gao E took Madam Yan over.

Mrs. Yan looked at the boxes of things. Not all of them belonged to their Yan family, but some of them did.

"Mrs. Yan, please pick out the things from the Yan Mansion." Gao E suddenly realized that Deng Yu was also taking advantage of the situation.

Madam Yan hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "Since these things were brought back by Madam Chen's people, they belong to Madam Chen."
