Before Jiang Ling could answer the village chief's words, Zhao Er stunned to push through the crowd and ran to the village chief panting, saying with a panicked face: "Village... Village chief, yes... a suspicious person has entered the village!"

The village head turned pale when he heard the words, but Jiang Ling pointed to the fainted man calmly and asked, "Brother Er Leng, is this the person you are talking about?"

Zhao Erlen was still in shock, holding the torch and walking towards the man with trembling legs, a pale face covered in blood appeared in Zhao Erlen's eyes under the light of the fire, Zhao Erlen swallowed his saliva and looked carefully Looking at the man, he turned his head and nodded to the village chief.

He looked at Jiang Ling again with a puzzled expression and asked, "Jiang...how did this man, Mrs. Jiang, appear here with you?"

The village chief's face gradually darkened. It would be fine if he hadn't paid the guards in silver before, but this would give money to this group of people, but he hasn't caught outsiders yet.

Thinking of the village head gouging his eyes hard, Zhao Erleng asked angrily: "How do you do things! Everyone who entered the village was caught by Mrs. Jiang and you only notified me!"

It's true that Zhao Erlen and his team are on duty tonight, but the autumn harvest has been too busy and tiring these days. There was a rustling sound, Zhao Er was taken aback, they were too tired and suffering, so they ignored this thing, changed direction and continued to fall asleep.

If it wasn't for one of them to go to the grass in a hurry to urinate, and vaguely see a vague figure walking towards the village, Zhao Erlian and the others probably wouldn't know that an outsider came to the village, and that person saw it. After the back view, the original drowsiness was thrown out of the blue immediately, and he didn't even fasten his belt, so he hurriedly ran to inform Zhao Er Leng.

After hearing this, Zhao Erlen opened his eyes and ran towards the village chief's house. Unexpectedly, when Zhao Erleng ran to the village chief's house, the village chief's wife said that Jiang Yaojie had invited the village chief away.Zhao Er was taken aback and ran towards Jiang Ling's house in a hurry.

"It's good that the village chief catches it. Forget it. Everyone is very tired during the autumn harvest. Brother Er Leng didn't mean it!" Jiang Ling hurried out to smooth things over.

Seeing that Jiang Ling had already spoken, the village chief couldn't say anything more, so he could only stare at Zhao Er fiercely, turned to look at Jiang Ling and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what do you think should be done with this person."

Jiang Ling was in a difficult situation for a while. If he handled it according to the village rules, he might not be able to deal with the magistrate Duan, and would even anger other refugees. will suffer disaster.

But it was getting late, and the man passed out now and his legs were still bleeding profusely. Even if he set off early tomorrow morning and handed it over to County Magistrate Duan, Jiang Ling was worried that the man's life would be lost.

"Just leave him to us!" Just when Jiang Ling was at a loss, two deep voices came from outside the door.

All eyes were turned towards the direction of the voice, and they saw two tired-looking yamen servants in official uniforms standing at the door of Jiang Ling's house.

One of them, Jiang Ling, happened to know each other. Jiang Ling was very surprised when he saw them, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you two poor men here?"

"Magistrate Duan is worried about your safety, so he specially sent us to guard your safety around at night!" A yamen servant whispered.

Jiang Ling blushed immediately after hearing this, and she secretly thanked herself that it was fortunate that it was late at night, otherwise her abnormal behavior would definitely be made gossip by those sharp-eyed sister-in-laws.

"You two have worked hard, thank you magistrate Duan for me!" Jiang Ling took out two ingots of silver from his pocket and put them in the hands of the two yamen guards, whispering.

The yamen servant was very tactful, the two of them looked at each other, took out a rope, tied up the unconscious man and carried him out of Jiang Ling's house.

Before leaving, one of the yamen servants pointed at the village chief, pointed at Jiang Ling, and said solemnly: "After dawn, please go to the county yamen!"

Jiang Ling and the village chief nodded and watched the two yamen servants leave.

That night, everyone was terrified and almost stayed up all night. Lujia Village, which has always been stable and peaceful, ushered in its first sleepless night.

Early the next morning, the village head appeared at the door of Jiang Ling's house with two dark circles under his eyes.

Jiang Ling is preparing breakfast for the children, egg pancakes with onion flavor, thick corn porridge, and some small pickles made by Jiang Ling himself.

It was still steaming when it was served on the table, and the village chief immediately turned around and left when he saw it.

"The village chief is here, let's have a bite here!" Seeing this, Jiang Ling quickly put away the dishes and chased him out.

"No, no, Jiang Shi, it's not easy for you to have a bad life. I'll come over in a while!" The village chief waved his hands repeatedly and refused.

"It doesn't matter! You probably haven't eaten anything so early in the village chief! Come on, come on, it's just a matter of a pair of bowls and chopsticks! Yaojie went to the kitchen to get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks! Zhishan, get the village chief uncle Come in!" Seeing that the village chief was about to leave, Jiang Ling quickly ordered to the children in the house.

Seeing that Jiang Ling was determined to keep him for dinner, the village chief followed Jiang Zhishan and walked in.

The children greeted the village head very politely, and gave up a place for the village head. Everyone enjoyed the meal, but the village head was a little restless. He could only secretly remember that Jiang Ling made breakfast Time, thinking that the next time I say something, I have to stagger the time.

Otherwise, if an outsider thinks that this old fellow came here specially for dinner, his old face will be completely lost.

After dinner, Jiang Ling made some simple arrangements for the family and headed towards Pingxi County with Lu Bo's ox cart that the village head sat on.

This time Lubert parked the ox cart deliberately at the gate of the yamen. One of the yamen servants immediately ran to the back hall to inform the county magistrate Duan when he saw Jiang Ling appearing. He was taken to the court by the yamen servants.

The yamen servant on duty last night had already told County Magistrate Duan that if it hadn't happened in the middle of the night, the magistrate Duan might have personally driven a carriage to Lujia Village. Although the yamen servant had told him that the Jiang family was not in any danger, He still passed the night in anxiety.

Seeing that Jiang Ling was safe and sound early this morning, his heart was finally relieved.

After the overnight interrogation, the refugee could no longer bear the torture and confessed everything, even the place where they hid was clearly stated.

"The interrogation came out, and they are refugees from the same place as last time!" Master Duan said to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at the village chief. Master Duan immediately understood Jiang Ling's intentions. He whispered a few words to the yamen servant beside him. Now that you have made a great contribution, I will take you to the back hall to have a rest first!"

The village head bowed his head and saluted the magistrate Duan humbly, then he was flattered and left with the yamen servant.

"Sit down!" Seeing that Jiang Ling and himself were the only ones in the room, County Magistrate Duan immediately softened his attitude a lot.

"Thank you, Lord Duan, for your concern!" Jiang Ling said with a deep bow to County Magistrate Duan.

"It's okay, it's okay, sit down!" County magistrate Duan waved his hand.
