After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 97 Return to Lihua Village
The place where Changshun and Shitou were at this time was the only exit from Qiu Shui Town leading to Yuntai County.
When Changshun heard what the soldier said, he was stunned. He looked not far from the exit and sure enough, there were several wooden barriers not far ahead, with a gap on the edge that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Changshun was thinking to himself and didn't notice the soldiers walking towards the ox cart.
Shitou stayed obediently beside the car. When he saw the soldiers coming, he couldn't help but feel nervous and stood there without moving.
"What are you doing here? Move aside and let me check!" the soldier glanced at him and said.
"Sir, my brother doesn't like to talk much."
When Changshun saw this, his heart tightened. He hurried over, gently pulled the stone aside, and said with a sincere smile:
"There's nothing in the car. We were planning to go shopping in the county. Since we can't go, let's go home now."
As he said this, he urged Shitou to change the direction of the ox cart.
Changshun didn't know whether there was anyone in the car, but he had to complete what Brother Zhou had asked him to do seriously.
Although Shitou remained silent, he understood Changshun's intention at this time. He quickly pulled the ox and turned the car around.
The soldier frowned slightly and glanced at the ox cart.
He looked at Changshun, and thinking that the silver he had given him earlier was quite a large sum, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go!"
"Okay! Let's leave now." Changshun thanked him quickly.
The two men pulled the ox cart and turned around to walk back.
The road to Yuntai County was blocked, and a small group of patrolling soldiers passed by on the street from time to time. Shitou was driving the ox cart, but he didn't know where to go, so he could only slowly drive the ox cart towards the exit back home.
Changshun was sitting on the oxcart. Seeing that no one noticed them, he whispered through the curtain, "Brother Zhou."
In the space, Li Qingqing was making pills. Zhou Yimo had previously mentioned to her that the task of making bricks and tiles would be entrusted to the village chief's son Li Tiezhu. Therefore, she planned to tame these guards first and then hand them over to Tiezhu.
These guards were not vicious, they were just accomplices of Mr. Liu, but each of them had some fighting skills.
If they were used directly as labor, they would definitely not obey. She was a little worried that Tiezhu would encounter an unexpected disaster, so she had to give these guards some extra care.
This was inspired by the incident where Mr. Liu controlled the ghost eagle!
Li Qingqing was making pills, and Zhou Yimo was not idle either. He picked up the pen and continued drawing on the paper, while asking Li Qingqing about the layout of the house.
Now that we have the labor force, everything is ready. The brick and tile house is just around the corner, and the architectural layout of the house can be prepared early.
This picture was half-finished and placed on the desk in the pharmacy. He couldn't help with the pill issue, and since he had nothing to do, he continued to draw.
The two of them were busy with their own things, occasionally exchanging opinions. After a while, a sketch of the building layout appeared on the paper.
Zhou Yimo was quite happy and was about to ask his wife some more details.
At this moment, he heard Changshun calling him, and he and Li Qingqing looked at each other. In a moment, the two of them appeared in the carriage from the space.
Because Zhou Yimo had instructed Changshun before, he did not lift the curtain of the carriage, so he did not know what was going on inside the carriage.
Seeing Zhou Yimo responding from inside the carriage, Changshun continued outside the carriage curtain: "Brother Zhou, the road to Yuntai County is blocked. Oxen carts can't pass, so we can only go on foot."
Zhou Yimo's eyes met Li Qingqing's for a moment, then he said, "In that case, let's go back to Lihua Village."
Go back to Lihua Village first, and then act accordingly.
I guess Mr. Liu won't pay attention to Xier at the moment, so she will be safe for the next few days.
Indeed, Zhou Yimo guessed correctly. Mr. Liu was very manic at this time and was directing his men to search everywhere.
What he cares about most now is the whereabouts of the weapons, so how could he think of caring about other things?
Before, if the boss Luo had not sent his men to find him in advance, he would not have known that a room full of weapons had disappeared.
In just a moment, he concluded that it was done by County Magistrate Xie's men. After all, County Magistrate Xie's men had already discovered the location of his iron mine.
Of course, as for the disappearance of the ten masters and the guards in the three courtyards, he was only surprised for a short while. Until he confirmed that they were not embezzlers, he no longer cared about their whereabouts.
They are just a few men, how can they be as important as weapons?
Mr. Liu only stayed in the third courtyard for a short while before he hurried back to the brothel. He suspected that County Magistrate Xie had accomplices and planned to find County Magistrate Xie to ask for the truth. However, he found out that Bai Ye had let Magistrate Xie escape in the middle of the night!
There is no doubt that it was the cunning Lord Xie who took the weapons away!
Who said that Lord Xie only has a few subordinates?
It's game over now.
Mr. Liu was so angry that he pointed at Bai Ye and shouted, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
After all, Mr. Liu had experienced many hardships and quickly regained his composure and rationality. He hurried to find Governor Qian.
During this period of time, Governor Qian was supported and praised by him with money, and he treated him like a brother and they were very close. At the critical moment, it was time to use him!
Of course, Mr. Liu was a shrewd man, and if Governor Qian's men found the weapons before him, he would have a comprehensive plan.
"Master Qian, our Liu Mansion suffered heavy losses of gold and silver last night. If you can help us this time, once the gold and silver are recovered, our Liu Mansion will reward you handsomely. Not only will we give you ten thousand taels of silver, but we will also speak well of you to the Deputy Commander and help you achieve greater success."
Upon hearing this, Governor Qian was secretly delighted.
Before this, Mr. Liu had occasionally revealed in front of him that he had some dealings with the deputy commander, and he had long believed it.
Now that I can not only make a fortune but also have the opportunity to be promoted, how can I not help enthusiastically?
So he immediately put on an enthusiastic face and promised with a pat on his chest:
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I'll leave this matter to the governor. I'll immediately mobilize my troops and seal off the entire town. I'll bring that daring thief to justice and recover your gold and silver."
Governor Qian sent soldiers to set up guard posts everywhere to intercept them, while Mr. Liu sent his men to search secretly. After working for a long time, he had no idea that the group he was looking for had returned to Zhou's house in Lihua Village.
The journey back to the village was safe and worry-free, but Li Qingqing had been staying in the space before, so it was not appropriate for her to appear in the ox cart halfway.
It doesn’t matter if you scare others, but don’t scare Changshun and Shitou.
Li Qingqing stayed in the space all the time. Since she had nothing to do, she made all the pills she needed.
Shitou and Changshun had just returned to the yard driving the ox cart when Dashuang and Xiaoshuang had already heard the sounds and came out to greet them.
"Brother, where are elder sister and sister Xier?" Dashuang and Xiaoshuang asked repeatedly.
"They will be here soon. You two can talk to your mother first." Zhou Yimo smiled and pushed Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang into Zhou's mother's room.
Then he said to Changshun, "Changshun, your sister Qingqing will be back soon. Go to the village and buy some more vegetables."
"I understand, Brother Zhou, I'll go now." Changshun ran away when he heard it.
Changshun had bought vegetables for the Zhou family in the village many times. He knew which family had more vegetables, so he ran straight to their house.
"Brother Zhou, I'm going to cut grass for the cows." After parking the ox cart, Shi Tou had already taken out the knife and basket, said something to Zhou Yimo and left.
While Zhou Yimo had sent them away, Li Qingqing flashed out of the space and took Young Master Xie and the others out separately.
