Chapter 24: The Return

Mrs. Xu was anxiously waiting at home, and the three daughters-in-law didn't know what was going on, just looking at their mother-in-law's appearance, they were all a little unstable, and they were all worried.

This waiting time always passes very slowly.

For the first time, Mrs. Xu had the feeling of living like a year.

……

Fu Bao didn't know how long he had been asleep, hazy, and his consciousness was vague, but he felt a little uncomfortable and depressed.

However, she still couldn't wake up.

The feeling of the outside world is hazy and ethereal.

"Are you having nightmares again?"

Fu Bao wanted to move, but he felt as if he was being pressed and couldn't move at all.

"Don't have nightmares, have sweet dreams!"

"Let's weave a dream for yourself!"

With this in mind, Fu Bao slowly fell asleep again.

……

In the courtyard of the old Xu family, the old lady Xu finally waited for the old man Xu and his two sons, as well as the county commander and the official of the county seat, as well as the town soldiers in charge of the city defense.

The county commander Zuoqiu is a good official who is conscientious in his duties, and after seeing the old man Xu and the jewelry in the sandalwood box, he immediately summoned the officials in the county town, and at the same time called Deng Jian of the thousands of households in the city defense town.

Then, the team rushed to Lingshui Village as fast as possible.

After Mr. Xu reassured Mrs. Xu, he took the county order and others to the back mountain of Lingshui Village.

"Fence it off!"

Zuo Qiu and Deng Jian ordered at the same time.

The soldiers of the government and the town army immediately surrounded the entire back mountain recess.

Considering that it was getting late, Zuoqiu and Deng Jian did not immediately start a search, but only surrounded the scene and waited for dawn.

In fact, before Zuoqiu and Deng Jian led people over, they both sent people to send news to Fucheng and the capital.

If they can really find the tribute gift that was robbed twenty years ago, it will be a great credit for both of them, and promotion is just around the corner.

Tribute and congratulatory gifts are certainly worth a lot, but compared to their official fortune in the officialdom, they are pediatrics.

This is a question of how to choose, that is, if you don't have much knowledge, Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu will worry that they will kill for money.

……

The officers and soldiers of the county town suddenly appeared in Lingshui Village, but they frightened the village leaders and the people of Lingshui Village enough, and thought that there was something terrible about the big case.

Guan Laoqi, the village official, asked to see the county commander Zuoqiu with great anxiety, and after knowing that the matter had nothing to do with their Lingshui Village, Guan Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Guan Laoqi gathered the villagers, and everyone worked together to prepare dinner for the group of people from the county.

For Guan Laoqi's well-behavedness, the county commander Zuoqiu is naturally quite appreciative.

However, appreciation is appreciation, Zuoqiu will not open any convenient door for Guan Laoqi, it is nothing more than to take care of one or two things on weekdays.

What Zuoqiu cares about the most is the old Xu family!

Even, Zuoqiu and Deng Jian both had dinner at Lao Xu's house.

The people in the village were really blushing when they saw that the old Xu family could get the opportunity to entertain the county order and the town army.

It's just a matter of having a meal, but that's the card!

"The old Xu family is really amazing, this is going to climb up to the nobles!"

"Isn't it?"

"The smoke from the ancestral tomb is different!"

"Why doesn't our ancestral grave smoke?"

"Why don't you go and burn some paper money for your ancestors?"

"This can be had!"

The villagers of Lingshui Village are very envious of the old Xu family's fortune, but they are rarely jealous. After all, if the old Xu family really made a fortune, the villagers would be able to follow them in the future.
