During the meal, Li Yao asked about Li Qiaohui's going to Fangzheng, Li Qiaohui only told Li Yao that she temporarily remembered that she had something to find Fangzheng, and did not tell Li Yao what she was going to do.

Li Qiaohui didn't say anything about Li Yao and didn't ask much, and after eating dinner at Li Qiaohui's house, she went home.

When Li Yao arrived home, it was just approaching dusk, and it was still early before dark, and she was about to wash her feet and lie down in the room, when suddenly three officials riding tall horses and wearing uniform clothes came to the gate of her courtyard.

The people in the third room were already staying in the courtyard, and they hurried out when they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

The three officials are all quite tall, and wearing official clothes on their bodies makes them look very powerful, and then riding a high-headed horse, it makes people feel even more oppressive, except for Li Yao, Niu Guihua and the others are more or less stunned when they see these officials, and Niu Guihua is even more legs and stomachs began to tremble, so they had to help Lu Xiaolan on the side to pretend to be calm.

The leader swept over everyone with a sharp gaze, and then asked, "Is this Niu Fugui's family?" ”

Hearing the question, Niu Guihua, the oldest generation, shrank his head and did not dare to answer, Niu Erzhu as the male of the family, because Niu Fugui and the boss went to the county government and did not come back, now he is still the oldest in the family, and he didn't hear anyone answer in the middle of the ring, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, yes......"

Seeing that the family was struggling to answer, the leading official frowned and asked, "Who are you Niu Fugui?" ”

"I ...... He, he's my father......" Niu Erzhu stammered back.

"Below is the head catcher in the county yamen, and this afternoon the yamen received a report, saying that your family lost 5,500 catties of grain?"

Niu Erzhu didn't speak yet, but Zhao Xiuxiang hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, sir, just last night, our family just finished harvesting the grain from the field for a few days, just waiting for the grain merchants in the town to go to the countryside to collect the grain, who knew that this morning, this grain was missing 5,500 catties." ”

Zhao Xiuxiang grew up in the town after all, and she has more knowledge than these villagers, so she cheered herself up at this time, and she was already able to speak neatly in the face of the three officials.

Niu Erzhu was slightly relieved when he heard his sister-in-law answer.

Talking to the official, he's under a lot of pressure.

When the three officials heard this, they got off their horses, and the leading catcher said to Zhao Xiuxiang: "Take us to the scene to see." ”

"Hey, okay." Zhao Xiuxiang nodded again and again.

Xu Shi smoothly confronted the official with two sentences, which made Zhao Xiuxiang feel more confident, she was much more clever now, and saw that the official was still holding the horse in his hand, so he commanded the second room and said: "The second family, hurry up and lead the official's horse to the yard of my father and mother and tie it." ”

The three rooms were discussed before, and the official messenger must not be able to rush back on the same day, at least until the case is solved, so the family discussed and waited for the official to come and arranged to live in the cow osmanthus yard, which happened to be a big cow osmanthus yard, and there were two spare rooms, and the rooms were cleaned up.

Niu Cuihua was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, didn't the Dafang family have three boys, can't they lead the horse? Just let the people in their second room lead, this horse looks so powerful and tall, I don't know if it will hurt people!

But Niu Dabao listened to Zhao Xiuxiang's words, and was a little happy in his heart, he has grown so big, there are only a handful of times when he has seen a horse, let alone touch this horse, now that he has the opportunity to have close contact with a horse, how can he not be happy.

So he ran forward, he was a little scared of the most majestic head catcher, so he led the horse from a catcher next to him, and carefully walked to the cow osmanthus yard, which made Niu Cuihua very angry.

The catcher did not refuse Niu Dabao to help him lead the horses, the horses in their yamen were all trained, very docile, and would not hurt people under normal circumstances.

Niu Erzhu also took a horse from a catcher, and the rest of the head catcher held a horse, Niu Cuihua was reluctant to step forward, she was afraid when she looked at this tall horse, so her eyes rolled around, and she happened to see Li Yao, who was looking at several officials, and said:

"Erni, go and lead the official's horse to your grandmother's yard."
