On the second day, because of the episode last night, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan both overslept. The couple was woken up in the morning by a loud noise.

"Ye Sheng, what's going on in the house over there?" Li Mingren asked Ye Sheng, who brought hot water in.

Ye Sheng: "Back to the master, it's the four people who were arrested last night, and the village chief is interrogating them, and they have used some means." ”

Li Mingren was stunned when he heard this, originally thinking that if he didn't show it, he would not know about it, but now that he was lynched, the nature was different. Li Mingren hurriedly washed his face and prepared to go out to see the situation.

Just about to step out of the door, Zhao Yunlan grabbed Li Mingren's hand and said, "After all, we are outsiders, we are unfamiliar with life, and everything is based on our own safety." ”

Li Mingren knew what Zhao Yunlan meant, so he nodded and reassured Zhao Yunlan that he was not an impulsive person. Before he walked to Village Chief Zhang's side, he smelled a smell of blood, Li Mingren paused, frowned and glanced at Li Hua beside him.

Li Hua attached a thousand steps to Li Mingren's ear and said, "Master, no one died, and I hurt a little skin." ”

Li Mingren didn't speak, and motioned for Li Hua to go to the village chief first to deliver the message.

When Li Hua got the signal, he quickly stepped forward and went to the outside of the house where Village Chief Zhang and they were interrogating, but he didn't get too close, and shouted when he stood outside: "Village Chief Zhang, our master wants to talk to you." ”

The room was quiet, followed by a commotion, and after a while, I saw Village Chief Zhang coming out of it, followed by his eldest son.

"Is Mr. Li leaving?" Village Chief Zhang asked Li Hua with a straight face.

Li Hua just made a gesture of please and did not answer.

Li Mingren saw Village Chief Zhang coming over and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Village Chief Zhang, can you borrow a step to speak?" ”

Village Chief Zhang turned his head to look at the room, thought about it, and exchanged glances with his eldest son, then looked at Li Mingren and said, "Mr. Li, let's go to the hall and have a cup of tea!" ”

Village Chief Zhang took Li Mingren to the hall, Li Hua followed closely, but the eldest son of the village chief left, as if he was going to the kitchen to make tea.

In the hall, Village Chief Zhang suddenly had a soft face, and asked with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "This morning, the noisy and noisy disturbed Mr. again's rest." ”

Li Mingren: "I didn't bother, we had a good rest." However, we have borrowed the village chief's house and caused you a lot of trouble. ”

Village Chief Zhang still had a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart: It's a little troublesome, so you shouldn't be kind and kind.

Li Mingren saw that Village Chief Zhang didn't speak, so he continued to speak: "What is the village chief busy with in the morning? ”

Village Chief Zhang was falling into his own blind heart, and when he heard Li Mingren's question, he said before he had time to react: "It's not those people last night. ”

As soon as the words fell, Village Chief Zhang immediately gasped and said that he had missed something.

Li Mingren pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Who was last night?" Didn't you catch a weasel last night? Could it be that the weasels hurt people? ”

Village Chief Zhang pursed the corners of his lips, thinking to himself what kind of garlic this kid is pretending? Hey~ That's it, since I said it first, I said it!

"Sir, I won't hide it from you, it wasn't about catching weasels last night. It was our village that was stolen, and that group of people was a bandit on the mountain, and they would always come to the village to rob things and steal things, and there were three villages around here, all of which were stolen by them, but we were not vegetarians, and we could have a tie with them every time, and then they changed to stealing. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest son of the village chief's family came in with tea, glanced at his father, and wanted to know what the situation was now.

Village Chief Zhang said everything, so he no longer concealed it, "Da Lang, pour tea for Mr. Li." You go over there and check on the situation in a while, don't let them kill people, and throw them out when they're almost done. ”

Zhang Dalang understood that his father was talking about it, and he poured the tea and withdrew.

Li Mingren took a sip of tea and asked, "Then why didn't the village chief report to the government?" ”

Village Chief Zhang: "I have reported it before, and the government has also come to arrest it a few times, and each time it has been caught for several months and then it has come out, and then it is said that the government has insufficient troops, and it has not come for the past two years, plus this thief seems to have become stupid, and it is not as ruthless as before, every time they dare not hurt people, so our three villages decided to solve it themselves after discussion." ”

Li Mingren felt a little funny that the bandits had become stupid, and wondered why the troops were insufficient. As soon as he was about to ask, Village Chief Zhang said: "I heard that there is going to be a fight in Guanshang, and it has been more than a year, so the soldiers of Cangzhou Mansion have been transferred over there." ”

Li Mingren: "Why haven't we heard about it? "When I was in the capital, I didn't hear Zhou Hanwen say this, although he didn't go to the early dynasty, Li Mingren still knew a thing or two about the things in the early dynasty, and he didn't talk about the war in the north at all!

If there is a real fight, then it will be really worse for me to be the county commander.

Village Chief Zhang shook his head and said that he didn't know, anyway, the news had already spread in the north, which was also inadvertently said by a merchant who was passing by before, and it happened to be heard by Village Chief Zhang.

Village Chief Zhang continued to talk about the situation of the group: "They should have seen you enter the village yesterday, so they wanted to come out at night to steal something. They hadn't come down for months, and if you hadn't come, we'd have thought they'd starved to death on the mountain. ”

Li Mingren was suddenly a little embarrassed, it seems that he has really caused a lot of trouble to others.

"When I get to Cangzhou, I'll go to the government to report this matter and see if I can completely help you solve this matter, it's not a matter if it goes on like this." Li Mingren wanted to express his apologies and could only go to the yamen to see the situation, although the Cangzhou prefect was older than Li Mingren, and this also crossed the prefecture city, I was afraid that the Cangzhou prefect would feel that he was interfering in other prefecture and city affairs at that time.

Village Chief Zhang didn't care: "Sir, it's okay. We can still deal with these small things. It's just that Mr. has to go north, but he has to be more careful, and he is afraid that it will be even more unpeaceful when he goes out of the boundary of Cangzhou. ”

Li Mingren nodded.

Leaving the village chief's house, Li Mingren went to find Zhao Yunlan: "Lady, let's go first, hurry up and go to Cangzhou City." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "What did the village chief say?" ”

"After a long discussion on the road, I will pack my things and eat first. It's another three-day journey to Cangzhou, and it's two days to get faster. ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded, thinking that it shouldn't be too big, so she instructed everyone to pack up their things and give the house to the village chief's house to restore it to the way it was when they came yesterday. He called Chunxiang again and said, "Take these copper coins to Sister-in-law Liu, and come back as soon as you give them." ”

Zhao Yunlan was worried that Liu's sister-in-law would return the money, originally last night the village chief said that the house price would be halved, but she still gave it at the original price, and added an extra thirty Wen to it. After all, they took care of them quite well last night. It's just that Zhao Yunlan doesn't know that the group of people was brought in by her own family, otherwise she might add some money to it.

After Li Mingren finished eating, the group was cleaned up, and Li Mingren went to say goodbye to the village chief and left. As if the gang of thieves had never appeared, the village chief was about to go down to the ground with a hoe and send Li Mingren and them out of the village along the way.

I've been busy with work lately, and I still have to prepare for exams.

So it's been a long time since it's been updated.
