The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

Ning Yuancai saw that they were silent and the family members did not introduce themselves.

I can only go up by myself.

If you don't curry favor with your superiors now, when will you?

He swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "I am the male owner of this house, Ning Yuancai."

Then arch it all the way to the bottom.

Song Yuan looked at Xie Ping again.

Xie Ping said that he had never seen the male owner of the house, and judging from the aunt's age, he thought the man had died.

He also said that the old man was paralyzed on the kang, the eldest grandson looked a little immature, and the man had died again.

As for the noisy old lady, Xie Ping didn't even think about her.

I think the person who can make the decision in this family is probably Aunt Zhou.

This kid can't even figure out this little information. It seems like he's been slacking off in training recently.

Xie Ping felt that the way his master looked at him was full of hostility.

He quickly shrank his head, coughed lightly and said, "Oh, since you call yourself a student, I guess you have some achievements?"

I didn't understand it before, but now I have to understand it clearly.

This was the question Ning Yuan was waiting for.

He quickly straightened his sleeves, bowed deeply again, and said:

"I am not a talented student, but I have the title of a scholar. You can call me Ning Yuancai, and the villagers in this village all call me Ning Xiucai."

Today I finally got to show up in front of the high-ranking officials.

See who in this family dares to look down on me.

The gloom that had been on his face for the past few days disappeared, and he felt proud.

I thought that Qingmo's marriage could be moved forward one step further.

"Oh, you are so polite, Mr. Xiucai."

Xie Ping bowed perfunctorily without even looking at him.

A poor scholar, there are many of them in the streets of Beijing.

Throwing a stone on the street can kill nine and a half people.

Even a fifth-rank official like my own master can kill one or two of them.

Don’t think that the fifth rank is low, this is in the Dahui Dynasty.

During the time of Emperor Gaozu, the late emperor served as the Minister of War, a third-rank official.

Later, the late emperor ascended the throne as the second legitimate son, and the officials with real power after him were no higher than the third rank.

Only those honorary positions will have higher ranks, such as the Prince's Junior Tutor, Grand Tutor, the Prince's Junior Teacher, Grand Teacher, etc.

Uh, and also, our master is so young, it’s better not to get smashed to death.

Besides, with your skills, how could you be smashed to death so easily?

It was during this time when a major human trafficking case was uncovered that the other party poisoned and tripped up the adults, even breaking one of their arms. In the end, they were all wiped out by the adults.

Your Excellency is also lucky. Aunt Zhou, a village woman, actually knew how to strangle a man who is very strong and has some martial arts skills.

Lord Song has already figured out that method and has experimented with it several times on criminals in prison, with acceptable results.

But I never understood the method to save people, and I didn't dare to try it.

Xie Ping looked at Zhou Yue with even more respect.

Lord Song said that he had to keep Aunt Zhou's secret, and that the fact that she was a village woman and knew some tricks should not be mentioned in front of others.

A woman's reputation is important.

Who is that wretched man to Aunt Zhou?

Song Yuan didn't even glance at Ning Xiucai, he just looked at Zhou Yue and said: "I came here today to thank my benefactor.

I was injured that day and was in a hurry to treat the child. Also, there were still some remnants of the bandits that had not been eliminated, so I left in a hurry.

It is my fault that I did not thank you in person for saving my life. Please do not blame me."

That was quite polite.

But his face was stern and his tone was flat, and he didn't show any guilt at all.

Zhou Yue couldn't figure out the thoughts of this ancient superior.

I guess he has been in a high position for so long that he has developed such an unkind character.

She didn't care and smiled:

"Your Excellency, do not blame yourself. That day, the young official gave me a reward. Fortunately, with that money, I was able to get my illness treated. I was able to survive and see your true face."

What were you thinking about when you achieved such a great feat with just a small amount of money?

Song Yuan smiled and said, "That ingot of silver was a personal gift from me. It was the only thing I had with me at the time."

After a pause, he glanced at Ning Yuancai who looked puzzled, and then looked at Zhou Yue.

He continued, "Auntie, you saved me and the child, and helped me catch the kidnapper. You solved such a big case of human trafficking. The government will naturally reward you for your merits and punish you for your faults."

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Ning Yuancai again.

What is this guy doing scratching his ears and cheeks? He is a good-looking middle-aged uncle, but he has a wretched look on his face. He is really not worthy of this aunt.

Are all the children in this yard his?

Judging from his behavior, he really doesn't act like him.

Fortunately, I am not like him.

Song Yuan suppressed his gossiping anger and continued, "After more than two months of investigation and evidence collection, we have basically caught all the traffickers.

This case involves more than 100 children, the crime lasted for three years, and the families involved ranged from nobles to common people.”

The case shocked the court and the public. His Majesty was furious and said, "It has been decades since the founding of the Great Hui Nation, and such a cruel thing has happened in the capital. It is really shocking and infuriating."

So an order was issued to impose a heavy sentence.

Since this case involves many high-ranking officials in the court, it will not be announced to the world and the punishment will not be announced.

But the main culprits and major criminals will be quickly sentenced to death, while accomplices will be either imprisoned or exiled, and so on.

There is no need to tell this to a village woman.

He glanced at Ning Yuancai again. Why is this guy so dramatic? It would be a waste of his acting skills if he didn't put on some acting clothes and sing.

If all the scholars in Dahui country were like him, with less than two taels of flesh on his body, then His Majesty the Emperor would cry.

"The imperial court has also issued clear rewards for those who have made contributions.

The court will reward those like Aunt Zhou who disregard their own safety and bravely capture criminals generously.

Here, here is the reward given to you by the court, fifty taels of silver."

After he finished speaking, Xie An behind him handed him a box.

Zhou Yue signaled his eldest son Ning Yuanmo to answer it.

He said politely, "Thank you, sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Then continue to wait.

Song Yuan chuckled. This village woman was smart and knew that she still had something to say.

"Last time, I only gave her ten taels of silver to express my gratitude. When I went home to report it to my parents, she scolded me severely.

Our Song family motto clearly states that hatred must be avenged and kindness must be repaid.

Since the court has awarded me money, I brought some things myself to give to you and your family as a token of my gratitude.

After he finished speaking, the official in red behind him carried in several large boxes.

"These are medicinal herbs, these are fabrics, these are snacks, and these are some quilts made by my mother. The ones at the back are some food.

I think they can all be used at home.

My mother said that the transportation in the village is not convenient, and it is not easy to buy things even if you have money, so it is better to bring the ready-made things at home to save my aunt the trouble of traveling a long distance to buy them.

This is truly the behavior of a noble family, so thoughtful.

In addition to the things that can be bought, there are also things made by the lady herself. Although I don’t know if they were really made by Mrs. Song herself, since she said so, I have to accept her sincere feelings.

Zhou Yue bowed deeply and solemnly to thank Mrs. Song for the gift.
