She was a little desperate, but she really couldn't struggle. This man was too strong.

The strong smell of alcohol penetrated her nose, making her breathing difficult.

Just when she thought she was finished, she heard Zhao Zhiming's voice: "Is this you Lian'er? What's wrong with you?"

She quickly shouted: "Brother Ming, help me! I'm here, help!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Zhiming hurried over, picked up a stone and hit the man on the head. Only then did Ye Yunlian finally escape from the man's arms.

She threw herself into Zhao Zhiming's arms and cried: "Brother Ming, I'm so scared. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen, wuwuwu..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I was just worried that you would be in danger if you came home so late, so I came out to take a look. Fortunately, I came in time. You are not allowed to go home so late next time, do you understand?"

"I know, let's go home quickly, it's too dark here..."

Zhao Zhiming took her home and asked, "It's so late, how can Ye Qingran be so confident in letting you come back alone? Did she know that it was unsafe on the road and did this on purpose?"

When he mentioned it like this, Ye Yunlian felt that it must be like this: "This is like something she would do. She is always like this, making it hard for people to guard against! She even said bad things about you to me today, trying to sow discord and destroy our relationship. Emotions, what a bitch!”

"From now on, you have to listen carefully to what she says. She might instigate you to hurt the relationship between the two of us. She is just jealous of you. When she sees someone caring and caring for you, you want to break us up. But never Can’t be fooled by her!”

Ye Yunlian nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with Zhao Zhiming's point of view.

On this day, I heard that the county magistrate was going to inspect various towns and villages, including Lianhua Village.

You must know that this county magistrate has never taken Lianhua Village seriously before, which is why they dared to kidnap and trade people at will before, but this time it is different.

After asking, I found out that it was because Ye Qingran's shop was so popular that even Lianhua Village became famous.

When the county magistrate came to Lianhua Village, he did not make a big fuss because he just wanted to see the real situation in Lianhua Village and did not want to see those false pretenses.

But what caught my eye were the women who were weaving diligently, and the men who went out early and came back late to work. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were also busy, each had their own things to do, and it was a prosperous scene.

Some sharp-eyed villagers saw the county magistrate and hurriedly came up to say hello and said: "I have met the county magistrate. I am really disappointed. Please don't blame the county magistrate."

"How can you blame me? I just came here to check on the situation. I will leave in a while. No need to go to a lot of trouble."

"What do you think of our village?" The villager asked tentatively.

The county magistrate looked at it carefully and then answered him: "It's very good that there is such a standardized production method. Where is your village chief? I want to praise him."

"Sir, this matter was arranged by Miss Ye. Our village chief is old and can't do his job anymore. The men like us were arranged by Miss Ye, and she also paid for it."

The villagers are a little proud, "That's why we ordinary people can have a way out. She also helped us improve the soil. Now we can still grow food, so we won't be afraid of starving to death when we get through the winter."

"Girl? You mean, the person who did these things is a girl?"

"Yes, Miss Ye's home is over there, but she should be busy in the shop in the town now."

The county magistrate nodded: "There is such a capable girl in the world. I really want to see what she is like."

"I'll take you there." The villagers looked at his expression and took advantage of his happiness to ask, "Sir, our village is different from the past, so is the annual subsidy money..."

"Of course it's no problem. As long as you live peacefully and don't cause trouble, I will naturally pay you the subsidy money."

"Okay, okay, thank you sir!"

The villagers led the county magistrate all the way to Ye Qingran's shop, and even went to Ye Qingran to tell him about it.

But Ye Qingran was busy all the time and couldn't even see anyone. Fortunately, the county magistrate was curious about her and had the patience to wait. However, he waited for half an hour before Ye Qingran came back. After he came back, he didn't bother to talk to anyone. I didn't know the county magistrate was here.

The villagers nearby tried to remind her, but she was focused on what she was doing and didn't pay attention to what others said. She just muttered: "Let's talk later."

This made the county magistrate on the side very embarrassed, and the villagers didn't know what to say. They could only try their best to appease the county magistrate, saying that Ye Qingran was just too busy and didn't notice.

But the county magistrate saw it, and it was clear that Ye Qingran had a very high self-esteem, and even the county magistrate didn't take him seriously. Is this really a big deal?

It wasn't until Ye Qingran finished his work that he discovered the presence of the county magistrate. He immediately came up to salute: "Citizen girl Ye Qingran has met the magistrate."

"Humph, it's such a great honor."

Ye Qingran also knew that this was his fault, so he apologized and said, "I'm really sorry. The store was too busy and I didn't notice it for a while. I apologize to you. Have a sip of tea to calm down."

Seeing that her attitude was not bad, the county magistrate's face improved a little. He took the teacup and asked, "Did you come up with the idea of ​​leading the villagers to weave and tailor clothes?"

"Yes, she is a civilian girl."

"Forget it, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to your house and talk about the future development of the village."

Hearing this, Ye Qingran was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, sir, it's not very convenient."

Seeing her immediate refusal, and having been ignored by her just now, she was so embarrassed and humiliated. The county magistrate did not ask her why, and immediately said angrily: "I came to inspect, and I think you are quite capable, and I want to talk to you about something." It’s business. You’d better just let me wait for so long. Now you have to resign me. It’s really a big deal!”

"That's not what the daughter of the people meant. It's just that someone in the family is sick, and I'm worried that the adults will be infected with the disease, so it's not convenient."

Ye Qingran spoke sincerely, but that was not what he thought in his heart.

The villagers didn't know that their family was exiled because they were guilty, but the county magistrate might not know that.

If he discovers their identities, all her efforts will be in vain.

But the county magistrate obviously didn't accept her, and he snorted coldly and asked the guards to come forward: "Come on, catch her! Since you don't want me to go to your home, let me take you back to the Yamen." Come and have a cup of tea!"

Ye Qingran sighed and did not resist. She just asked the villagers around her to help her bring a message to her family to reassure them.

After she left, the villagers began to talk about it, and they all felt that this matter was Ye Qingran's fault.
