Parents are busy farming

Chapter 162 Back to the County

More than 20 government officials escorted more than 40 bandits. A huge group of people came out of Zhuangzi. The scene was very spectacular.

Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi were also among them.

After daybreak, the surrounding villagers who were checking on the fire were shocked to see the situation.

Also shocked was Ye Zifen. She saw the burned wheat fields. Although there were not many, there were several families crying on the roadside, very desperate.

What a coincidence that there was an old farmer there who showed her the way that day.

The old farmer was surrounded by his family members. Their eyes were empty and they looked desperate.

Ye Zifen walked over and comforted the old farmer: "Don't worry, your family's losses will be borne by me. After the grain is finished, I will make up for the 40% for you based on the output of other tenants."

Upon hearing this, the old farmer slowly recovered and quickly led his family to kneel down to Ye Zifen.

Said: "Thank you, Miss, for your great kindness! Miss, you are a living Bodhisattva!"

Zhang Huaiyu, Ye Zifen, and Zhang Gaoyi quickly helped the kneeling family up.

Someone heard the news and went to spread the word. After a while, several families came running from a distance, looking at Ye Zifen eagerly.

Ye Zifen knew that their wheat fields had also been burned down, and said directly: "I will have people check the burning situation of your fields, and then I will compensate you based on the burning situation. Don't worry!"

Then another group knelt down. This time there were too many people, and it was difficult for Ye Zifen to help her. She directly said loudly: "Everyone, get up! After I arrange the things on hand, I will have someone come and check them immediately!"

After speaking, she signaled to the team waiting for her to set off quickly.

Whenever you pass a place with people along the way, you will attract people to watch.

The government officials did not hide anything, and directly raised their voices and told the onlookers: "These are bandits from Funiu Mountain in Linxian County. They came to our county yesterday to burn, kill, and loot, and they were caught in one fell swoop!"

People cheered after hearing this. Some people looked aside to see if there was anything they could use, and then picked it up and threw it at the bandits.

This time the bandits finally felt the humiliation. They were once soldiers who protected their home and country. Since when did they become enemies with the people they wanted to protect?

Did it start when the general asked them to let the Japanese pirates go, or did it start when they let the Japanese pirates enter the port and rob merchant ships?

They regretted it, they were already among the fallen.

Just when everyone was hitting the bandits with things, an old woman suddenly rushed out, grabbed a bandit, and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Shuanzi? Is it you, Shuanzi!" came the voice of a lady, which was particularly clear amid the endless discussion.

The bandit knelt down on the ground with a "bang bang!" Ye Zifen had the impression that this bandit was the 'idiot' who flew onto the roof.

The line stopped because of the man's actions.

"Didn't you die in the naval battle? Why are you here and why did you become a bandit?" The old lady's face was full of questions.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard, for daring to be a bandit. After I beat you to death, I won't have the shame to live, and I won't have the shame to go down to see your dead father!" The old lady screamed hoarsely, and was ruthless to the person kneeling on the ground. He was slapped several times.

The man kneeling on the ground asked in horror: "What's wrong with my dad? Mom, what's wrong with my dad?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady collapsed on the ground, tears streaming out of her eyes as if she was asking for money, "Your father... After your father received the news that you died at sea... he became ill. He... his last words before his death The words are 'I can finally find you'... You... you are such an unfilial son! We don't have a son like you!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't know where she got the strength to get up, pushed through the crowd, and ran away.

Ye Zifen secretly yelled "no" and said to Zhang Gaoyi: "Go quickly and keep an eye on it. Don't let anything happen."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi quickly chased after him.

Liu Yamen sighed, walked over to the man who was kneeling on the ground and crying, pulled him up, and said in his ear: "Try to make amends! That may make your father who is in trouble can forgive you!"

The man was sobbing and following the back of the team with light steps.

The people watching already knew what was going on and stopped talking. When the team left, they also dispersed.

They just started talking about it privately.

After entering the county town, the government officials returned to the government office, while Zhi Zifen went to Zizixuan's house.

When she appeared at the entrance of Zixuan's alley, she saw the eldest sister looking over here.

Seeing Zhi Zifen, Zhi Xuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

Since Ye Zifen left, her heart has been clenched. She sent Chengye to her mother-in-law's room at night and stayed up until dawn.

After dawn, she didn't eat anything and just stood at the gate waiting.

While worried about Ye Zifen, he was also worried about Zhang Huaiyu.

"How are you? Are you injured? Where is your brother-in-law?" As soon as Ye Zifen approached her, she was grabbed by the arm and spun around.

"He's not injured, and neither is my brother-in-law. He went to the Yamen." Ye Zifen answered quickly.

Zhi Xuan felt relieved when she heard that both of them were fine.

Then he pulled Ye Zifen into the house.

Zhang Yu was playing in the yard with Zhang Chengye in her arms. When she saw Ye Zifen coming in, she quickly asked, "Are you all fine?"

Ye Zifen answered again, and Zhang Yu felt relieved.

Zhang Chengye saw his aunt coming and opened his little hands to let Ye Zifen hold her.

Ye Zifen picked him up, teased him for a few words, and then returned him to the eldest sister.

She didn't sleep at all last night, she was tired all night, and now she was a little tired.

I'm really afraid of accidentally dropping this little guy.

I simply told my eldest sister what happened last night and then left.

When Zhi Xuan saw that her sister was safe and her husband was not injured, she let her go.

After leaving Zhang's house, Ye Zifen went straight to the dock.

When she saw the long queue at the door, Ye Zifen finally felt relieved.

After walking through the crowd and arriving at the small restaurant, I saw Lu Zili settling accounts, helping to serve food and clearing the table, busy non-stop.

Wang Sheng was even more busy running back and forth to several shops with his hands full.

She came to the counter and helped with the calculation.

After a while, Zhang Gaoyi also came in.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the new food.

Ye Zifen asked him to go to the kitchen and ask him, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Gaoyi brought a piece of cold skin, placed it on the edge of the counter, and started eating while standing.

"It's okay. The old lady wanted to jump into the river, but I stopped her and sent her to the Yamen. When I went there, her son was being questioned by the county magistrate, and he acted very positively. The county magistrate comforted the old lady with a few words, and the old lady went home to wait for the news. .”

After hearing this, Ye Zifen nodded.

"Didn't you see my brother-in-law at the Yamen?" Zi Zifen asked again.

"He went to the Fu family to arrest people. It seems that the steward of the Fu family's inner courtyard found them, and they went to Zhuangzi." Zhang Gaoyi said.

Ye Zifen said: "I know."

Just as she suspected.

The rest is the yamen's business, so she can leave it alone.

"This stuff is good, sour, spicy, and delicious." Zhang Gaoyi said while eating.

Ye Zifen saw that he was eating happily and said, "I have good news for you. We already have the horses to build the caravan, more than forty of them!"

When Zhang Gaoyi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"You took them all back? We thought they ran away on their own!" Zhang Gaoyi's eyes were bright.

Zi Zifen said proudly: "With Uncle Li here, he will definitely raise us strong."

Zhang Gaoyi gave a thumbs up, "I didn't expect Uncle Li to drive the cattle out, nor did I expect that he would come out at such a good time!"

At this point, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then laughed.
