Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

When everyone heard the news, they couldn't believe it.

Especially Old Lady Qin who rushed over from home. When she heard the shocking news, she screamed and rushed into the house the next second.

"The third daughter-in-law..."

the other side.

In the village chief's courtyard, Lord Liu had just heard about this and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "God is really helping me! This country woman is so ignorant. She was just ate one of his wolf cubs, and she got so angry. I'm sure she won't live long. This is really making me laugh to death..."

He looked at the steaming hot meat soup that had just been brought to him, and pushed it over with an impatient look on his face: "This thing smells very fishy, ​​you guys should take it out and share it with me, don't leave it here to annoy me."

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Several officers brought the food out and started eating it with relish.

At the same time, a few faint wolf howls suddenly rang out from the back mountain, which had been quiet before.

“Awoo…Awoo…”

"It looks like there are still quite a few wild wolves on this mountain." The official looked over there coldly. "When we have time, we'll go up the mountain and eliminate these wild wolves for the people. We'll kill them all and stew their meat. That will be a benefit to the people, and those unruly people will be grateful to us."

"That's right, but the wolf howling is getting clearer and clearer. Is it my hallucination? Did you hear it?"

The man nudged the officer next to him with his elbow.

"It seems so. Oh my god, are these wolves going to go down the mountain together?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people who had been sitting on the ground and enjoying their meal suddenly lost their composure. They were so scared that they immediately picked up their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

Several people slowly moved towards the back mountain. Upon closer inspection, they actually saw several pairs of green eyes, which looked particularly bright in the dark night.

"Ouch..."

The howling of wolves came one after another, as if they were about to attack this side.

Those people were used to a life of luxury in the city and had never seen such a scene before. They were so scared that they almost peed their pants and quickly ran into the house, not even having time to clean up the mess left on the ground.

Yun Zhenzhen was sitting in the yard and found that Dashan was pacing around anxiously.

Xiao Nan walked over and stroked it to comfort it: "Alright, stop howling. What if those bad guys in office hear you and come to arrest you? Just let your parents scare them. We'll see if those bad guys dare to come after you in the future..."

Hearing this, Dashan did not stop, but instead danced even more anxiously.

Just then, there was a sudden movement outside the yard.

Dashan then immediately ran to the backyard, found a quiet place and started having fun.

The person who came in from outside the door was Ning Shan, who had not been seen for a few days.

These days, he followed Brother Shi to the city to spread news and inquire about what was happening above.

After not seeing him for two days, his face was full of anger. It was obvious that he had heard the whole story from other people in the village on his way back.

Ning Shan sat down in front of him calmly, his face shrouded in coldness and very deep.

"Madam Yun, that Lord Liu has gone too far, actually daring to attack you directly. How about I capture him and teach him a lesson secretly? Anyway, we don't know who did it at the time."

Yun Zhenzhen looked at him with a smile and casually handed him a cup of freshly brewed hot tea. "It seems that you have a lot of dissatisfaction with him. I believe that besides my reasons, there must be other hidden reasons. Of course, I won't ask too much. I just want to ask you, if the governor seizes evidence and wants to take action against Lord Liu, will the Liu family in Kyoto protect him?"

"The score depends on the severity of Lord Liu's crime." Ning Shan was silent for a moment, then continued, "I once heard about Lord Liu when I was watching Kyoto. Back then, he was just a playboy with nothing to show for it. Later, thanks to his grandfather's connections with the court, he was offered a sinecure position. He was directly appointed without taking the imperial examination. In just a few years, he's become a sixth-rank salt transport envoy. Madam Yun, you can imagine how powerful the power behind him is."

"As for what he did in Qinjia Village, even if word spread to Kyoto, it wouldn't have any bearing on the Liu family. Even if the governor wanted to intervene, there would be nothing he could do... So my idea is to just step in and quietly take care of him."

"Don't be impulsive about this matter. We still need to think long-term." Yun Zhenzhen smiled and comforted him. "Although I, a seventh-rank Anren, can't play a big role, even if I die, it won't have any impact. But if I die with something that benefits the Great Wei, because of Lord Liu's greed, the Great Wei will suffer a lot. The involvement in this matter will not be so simple. I just don't know if the Liu family will still protect him at that time."

She took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to him: "Drive the ox cart to Yuzhou immediately and give the contents to County Magistrate Wang and Lu Yunfeng. I have written it clearly inside, and they will know what to do after reading it."

She had originally planned to discuss it carefully and hand this thing over after they came back in two days, but now, she didn't want to wait even a moment longer.

If we wait one more day, the people in the village will suffer one more day, and the public property in the village will suffer more losses, especially the poultry in the village. They are raised to such a big size by everyone's hard work, and they cannot be easily harmed by that group of people.

Although Ning Shan didn't know what was inside, seeing Yun Zhenzhen's serious look, he nodded solemnly: "I understand, we'll set off right away."

It would normally take about two hours to walk from Liuye Town to Yuzhou, but he was driving the ox cart frantically by himself, so he arrived in less than an hour. By the time he arrived behind the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion, it was completely dark.

He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper. After a while, Lu Yunfeng hurried out from the governor's door.

"Master Xiao Ning, I heard you rushed here in a hurry. I thought it must be something important since it was so late, so I came out to see you."

"Greetings, Your Excellency the County Magistrate. I do have an urgent matter to report. May I come in and discuss it with you?"

Inside, the governor was discussing public sentiment with Magistrate Wang. Lu Yunfeng hesitated, "If there's anything I can do..."

Ning Shan said calmly, "This is a matter of great importance to the lives of the entire Qinjia Village, so I would like to see the county magistrate again to make a decision."

"Okay, come in with me."

The two entered through the side door, passed the center of a lake and came to a small hall. At this moment, the governor and the county magistrate had just finished their conversation, and only County Magistrate Wang was left inside.

"What are you..."

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, something happened in Qinjia Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, County Magistrate Wang hurriedly pulled the two of them into the hall: "Come...come in and talk."
