Joe's Farming

"What? Are you talking about the bandits in Suining next door?!" Qiao Yu was shocked.

Hong Ge'er nodded vigorously.

Gu Feng looked solemn when he heard this.

He and Qiao Yu had been preparing for it a long time in advance, but they still didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

"Sister Xia He, please pour a glass of water for Hong Ge'er. You came here in such a hurry. Have you eaten?"

Qiao Yu asked.

Hong Ge'er waved his hand quickly: "No need, Boss. Brother Lin is still waiting for me outside. I will leave as soon as I finish speaking."

Qiao Yu hurriedly pulled him to sit down at the stone table and asked seriously, "What's going on? How did you see those bandits? Tell me quickly."

Gu Feng also sat down next to Qiao Yu, took his husband's hand and patted it, comforting him not to be too nervous.

Hong Ge'er told the whole story in detail.

Qiao Yu always felt that she had heard the story of these two sisters somewhere before. Finally, a light bulb went off in her head and she remembered it.

"Yingzi and Meizi are both from Suining, right? Your family used to be wealthy and raised many sheep?"

Hong Ge'er was a little confused: "It seems that her family was rich before, and they also moved from Suining to Taoyuan Town, but I'm not sure whether they raised sheep."

When it came to the last sentence, Hong Ge'er felt a little embarrassed that he did not answer the boss's question clearly.

Qiao Yu nodded: "In the next county, they used to be a wealthy family, but were robbed by bandits. There is a high probability that they have not escaped."

Gu Feng: "I'll ask someone to find Xiaoyu. You ask Lin Da to go first, and we'll go to the county government office together."

"Well, this matter cannot be delayed. If I don't figure out why they appeared in Taoyuan County, I will not be able to sleep well all night."

His family was a sitting duck in Shangtian Village, and Xu Yuan's family was a sitting duck in Qingyuan Town. No matter whose family was targeted by the bandits, it was the last thing he wanted to see.

Hong Ge'er obediently went out to tell Lin Da to leave first.

Then he, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng waited for Xiaoyu together.

While waiting, Qiao Yu asked someone to scoop a bowl of food for him. He guessed that Hong Ge'er must not have eaten since he was in a hurry to come here.

Hong Ge'er was indeed very hungry and finished his meal very quickly.

Just after finishing eating, Song Xiaoyu came.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Song Xiaoyu asked nervously.

Qiao Yu took the lead and walked towards the carriage: "Let's get in the car first and talk slowly."

Gu Feng specially chose Lightning to take them to the town. Lightning ran fast, and they met Lin Da on the road soon.

Lin Da: "Hey, Hunter Gu, where are you going?"

Gu Feng: "I have something to do. I have to leave first. Go!"

Lin Da touched the back of his head and felt that everyone in the Gu family was a little strange today. Never mind, it shouldn't be a big deal anyway.

Gu Feng hadn't driven the horse so fast for a long time. Hong Ge'er had just finished his meal and was almost vomited by the shaking.

Fortunately, they arrived at Taoyuan Town soon. Gu Feng and Qiao Yu did not send Hong Ge'er back to the snack bar, but took him directly to Xie Mansion behind the county government office.

It was already night time and there were not many people living on this street, so the sound of Gu Feng and his carriage was extremely noticeable.

The doorman of Xie's mansion thought that the sound of horse hooves was coming towards the mansion, so he asked the guards to open the door, wanting to see who dared to ride a horse in front of Xie's mansion so late at night.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qiao Yu getting out of the car.

"Isn't this Boss Qiao? Why are you here so late? Are you looking for our master?"

The concierge immediately changed his expression and smiled.

Qiao Yu nodded at him and said urgently, "Please inform Master Xie that we have something urgent to report to you."

The doorman's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly welcomed the four people into the mansion.

Xie Changyu was reading in the study room at night, and Xie Tianyu was there too. This was a habit they had developed over the years.

When the father and son heard the servant say that Qiao Yuhe and Gu Feng had arrived, they looked at each other.

Xie Tianyu knew that Qiao Yu and Gu Feng came so late, they must have something urgent to tell their father, so he stood up and bowed to Xie Changyu and said, "I will go back to my room first."

Xie Changyu nodded: "Well, go ahead. Go see your mother first."

Xie Tianyu: "Okay."

When Xie Tianyu went out, he met Qiao Yu and the others. Xie Tianyu politely asked them to leave.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh that this child was really well-educated and well-mannered.

However, as soon as he saw Xie Changyu, he regained his serious expression.

"Sir, this is my shepherd boy Song Xiaoyu. Last year, his employer's house was robbed by bandits. This is Hong Ge'er, the manager of our snack bar..."

Qiao Yu explained in detail why he came to see the county magistrate this time.

After listening to this, Xie Changyu asked in detail about the appearance of Hong Ge'er and his companions, and which direction they went.

Hong Ge'er described the characteristics of several people one by one, and then said with some shame: "I didn't pay attention to where they went. I just remember turning left when they went out."

Xie Changyu frowned, but immediately comforted him: "You have done a good job, these bandits must not have thought that we have discovered their traces.

Leave the rest to me, and go back quickly."

Xie Changyu planned to call the head of the police overnight to discuss how to find these people tomorrow. It would definitely not work if they did it in a big way, and they had to do it quickly so that they could take precautions in advance.

Qiao Yu hesitated to speak, but finally stood up and prepared to kneel down to Xie Changyu: "Sir, I have something to hide..."

Before Qiao Yu could kneel down, Xie Changyu and Gu Feng held her on either side.

"Brother Qiao, what are you doing? You are a rare good citizen of Taoyuan, and you are also the lucky star of Taoyuan. If you have something to say, please talk to me nicely."

Qiao Yu was also worried about himself just now. After hearing what Xie Changyu said, he finally relaxed a little and said slowly:

"In fact, we have people from Qingfeng Village in our villa."

Xie Changyu: !!!!!!!!!

Before Xie Changyu could be shocked, Qiao Yu added: "And there are more than one, there are fourteen in total."

"Qiao Yu! Do you know what you are doing? You are harboring bandits! Fourteen of them!" Xie Changyu roared.

Gu Feng glared at Xie Changyu unconsciously, his eyes full of coldness, as if he would retaliate violently if Xie Changyu dared to do anything to hurt Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu squeezed Gu Feng's hand, signaling him not to be so fierce.

"Sir, please wait. Let me tell you a story first."

Qiao Yu told the story of Ling Lie and the stories of the rest of the brothers who followed Ling Lie.

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but they haven’t done anything harmful to the world, and they left Qingfeng Village because they didn’t want to do anything bad.

After they fled to Taoyuan County, they made a living by selling their labor. Even if they were not doing well, they would not steal or do anything dishonest. Even if they were cheated by the foreman while working, they did not know how to resist.

I really can't bear to send people like this to jail.

But please believe me, if any of them dares to do bad things, I will never tolerate it.

I will personally send them to the cell and let them eat prison food!"

Xie Changyu opened his mouth, but before he could criticize Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu had already said all the nice things to say.

Xie Changyu waved his hand: "None of this matters. Since they have been behaving themselves in your place, I don't necessarily have to arrest them.

But this time, they need to do it. If they do a good job, I can let them make up for their mistakes and not hold them accountable for their previous identities."
