After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

In the morning, Zhang Hulan got up early as usual, heated up the braised meat, cooked the pig brain, and then went to the county town with Zhang Hujun to deliver the goods.

After Zhang Hulan left, Zhao Cheng and Liu Yongquan went outside the village. They weeded in the fields along the road leading into the village, occasionally glancing back at the main road.

Zhang Hubing, Liu Yonggui, and Zheng Tiezhu cut bamboo and made backpacks at the village entrance. Everything seemed natural.

Zhang Hulan and Zhang Hujun arrived at Manfulou. Ding Mingao watched them carrying things into Manfulou with a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhang Hulan returned to the village and found that no strangers had come to the village that morning.

In addition to buying pig heads today, Zhang Hulan also bought some lean meat.

She cut the lean meat into pieces and fed it to the owl Xiaohua, who ate it happily, eating a piece at a time with a cooing sound.

Zhang Hulan felt that Xiaohua was showing off to the peregrine falcon Xiaohui, as it specifically ate meat from Xiaohui.

The peregrine falcon screamed at Xiaohua as if it was cursing.

These two guys don't fight much anymore. Whenever they do, Zhang Xinyue hits them with a stick. Now they are more obedient. At most, they just yell at each other a few times, and the fighting has turned into cursing.

Xiao Hui looked a little angry, and flew away with a flap of his wings.

After a while, he brought back a sparrow and ate it while calling out to Xiaohua twice.

……

As the day passed, the village was very quiet, with no strangers appearing in the morning or afternoon.

Zhang Hulan was not in a hurry either. She planned to wait for three days. If no one came after three days, she would send that person to the yamen.

The next day, Zhang Hulan continued to deliver goods.

Shortly after she and Zhang Hujun left, two peddlers, one old and one young, carrying loads on their shoulders appeared on the road leading to the village.

Zhao Cheng and Liu Yongquan looked at each other and pretended not to notice, continuing to work in the fields.

But not long after the two men passed by, another peddler appeared behind them.

Three peddlers? Zhao Cheng and Liu Yongquan exchanged another glance. They were a little worried that if Zhang Hubing and his men at the village entrance attacked the two peddlers in front, the next one behind would surely flee.

The two men did not come out of the field, but walked directly towards the village in the field, following from a distance behind.

The two peddlers in front arrived at the village entrance. Seeing someone weaving a backpack at the entrance, the older peddler walked forward with a smile, but before he could say anything, Zhang Hubing pounced on him from behind.

Liu Yonggui also quickly knocked the young peddler down and held him down.

The two peddlers shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to rob?"

Zhang Hubing laughed heartily, "Wow, two of them came at once..."

The young peddler shouted, "How dare you rob people in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the government?"

Zhang Hubing snorted and said, "Hmph, you want to sue us at the government office? Don't worry, we will send you there. But you won't sue us, we will sue you."

The young peddler was a little confused. "You want to sue us? We didn't cause any trouble. What are you suing us for?"

Zhang Hubing said, "You didn't cause any trouble? I tell you, you caused a big trouble."

Just when Zhang Hubing and his men caught the two peddlers, the peddler behind them saw the commotion at the village entrance and turned around and left.

But as soon as he turned around, he was knocked down by Zhao Cheng and Liu Yongquan.

"What are you doing?" The peddler behind him struggled. "Let me go! Is your village a den of bandits?"

The movement here also attracted the attention of Zhang Hubing and others. Zhang Hubing and Zhao Cheng were very surprised. They didn't expect that there was another person outside.

Zhang Hubing was overjoyed. He had captured three people and could take credit for it to Zhang Hulan.

The three peddlers were tied together with ropes. The old peddler said anxiously, "My dear friends, if you want money, that's fine. We will give you all the money and goods we have. We only ask that you let my son go."

The other peddler was anxious at this moment, knowing that the man from yesterday must have died here. He didn't know whether these people had killed him or what, and he didn't know what would happen to him next.

Zhang Hubing ignored what the old peddler said, and together with Zhao Cheng and others, he took the three people to Zhang Hulan's house.

Wang, Li and Xiang Chunhua were all very surprised. They didn't expect that someone would actually come to the village to inquire.

At the same time, they became worried. It seemed that someone was trying to steal Zhang Hulan's marinade recipe.

Zhao Guoliang quickly rushed over and asked, "What should we do with these three people?"

Zhang Hubing said, "Let's wait until my sister comes back and see how she's going to deal with these people."

Zhao Guoliang nodded, "Okay, then let's wait until Hu Lan comes back."

When Zhang Hulan returned home, she was also surprised to see the three trapped people.

Zhang Hubing went to Zhang Hulan to ask for credit, "How was it? Did my method work? We caught them as soon as they arrived at the village."

Zhao Guoliang said, "Hu Lan, you should hand these people over to the authorities. You can use them to fish, but you can't resort to lynching."

Zhang Hulan thought that since the other party had already lost several people here, they would not easily send more people. Even if they did send people, they would probably not send ordinary people, but most likely gangsters or members of the underworld.

If these people were sent here, the villagers and Zhang Hujun and his men might suffer, so they had to report to the authorities immediately.

Although she really wanted to know who was behind this, she didn't plan to ask directly. She just thought of it as a thief stealing things and reporting it to the government office, and then she would see who these people were in contact with later.

If she asked directly, that layer of paper would be broken. If the other party had power, then she would have to break off relations with them. She didn't have the ability to confront others head-on right now.

She could only find out who was behind it from the side, and then find a way to get revenge.

Although she and Ye Hongyun are acquainted now, she doesn't want to put her family's safety in the hands of others.

Currently, she has a good impression of County Magistrate Wu and his wife, but in Zhang Hulan's mind, how many officials are truly good people?

A truly good person cannot become an official.

In fact, she knew who was behind the scenes and was probably sure that the person ran a restaurant.

Finally, Zhang Hulan nodded and said, "Okay, then send it to the government office."

Zhang Hulan then said to Wang, "Mother, I leave the house to you. We will send the man to the government office now."

Wang nodded and said, "You guys go ahead. Don't worry about the family. We will take care of it for you."

Zhang Hulan said to Zhang Hujun, "Brother, go get that guy out from last night."

Zhang Hujun entered the house and dragged out the man he had arrested last night.

When the man from last night and the peddler who was caught later today saw each other, the man from last night had a surprised expression, while the man from today had an expression of "as expected".

They loaded the four of them onto the donkey cart, with Zhang Hujun accompanying Zhang Hulan, and Zhao Guoliang also coming along.

When they arrived at the county government office, the bailiffs at the door saw that it was Zhang Hulan again. They all looked a little strange. Why did this woman come again?

Zhang Hulan stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, officer, I need to report to the police."

The bailiff asked, "What do you want now?"

Zhang Hulan pointed at the four people tied up on the donkey cart and said, "We caught these people stealing from my house."
