Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

The other villagers were already terrified from the moment they saw the officers. They knew that if they were targeted by the government, it would mean the end of the world, not to mention that they had done a lot of bad things.

The crowd at this moment was like a group of lifeless eggplants, sitting on the ground helplessly, some kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy. Only a few young children, not understanding what was going on, stood aside with a bewildered look on their faces.

Prime Minister An frowned and sighed inwardly, he never thought that this remote place could harbor such filth and dirt.

"Come here, take these people back. Li Si, go gather some more people and make sure to bring Mayor Niu of Niu Shang Town back as well."

The order was given in a decisive manner.

"Yes!"

The response was firm and powerful.

Then, Prime Minister An turned to the merchants present and invited them sincerely, "Since you are witnesses at the scene, would you please go with me to the county government office and make a formal statement?"

The merchants were naturally happy to cooperate. After all, getting rid of these bullies would be of great benefit to their future trade routes to Hongsiguan.

The group marched towards Tianyuan County in a mighty procession.

Within the county, the sight of so many criminals being brought to justice quickly caused a sensation. People gathered around and talked about it, wondering what kind of heinous crimes these guys had committed.

The county government office was packed with people. The county magistrate conducted a fair trial according to the procedures and questioned each case one by one.

The evil forces of Niu Shangpo were eventually annihilated, and the villagers of Niu Shangpo who were finally arrested were sentenced to exile to the frontier to perform unbearable labor - building city walls.

The environment in the border areas was extremely harsh, and many people died on the way before they reached their destination.

Even if they managed to survive, once they arrived at that desolate place, they would be greeted with a life worse than death.

As for the masterminds like Niu Gangzi, they have committed serious crimes and harmed countless people. They have been sentenced to death and will be executed at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. There will be no delay.

Mayor Niu abused his power and participated in human trafficking, which eventually led to his property being confiscated and he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

When the case was settled, night had fallen quietly.

Zhang Laoer was worried about the inconvenience of traveling at night, so he took his family, young and old, to find a room in a nearby restaurant to stay and prepare to rest for a while.

……

The next day, Niu Shangpo's scandal shocked the entire Pingzhou. The county magistrate reported the matter to the prefect, who was also greatly shocked when he heard the news. He never expected that such an evil secret could be hidden in a small village.

Because of his contribution in handling the Niu Shangpo incident, the county magistrate will be promoted to the provincial capital as Tongpan; Prime Minister An will also take over his predecessor's position and become the new county magistrate.

Both of them were surprised by the sudden appointment.

It turned out that the disaster that had been hidden right under our noses was only resolved through the intervention of the Zhang family. The arrangement of fate is sometimes so unexpected.

In a private room of the restaurant, the Zhang family sat around a table enjoying breakfast. During the meal, Zhang Mingyi did not forget to brag about his brave performance in Niu Shangpo, with a proud look on his face.

As Xiao Youniang ate, she sighed, "Tell me, these villagers are really weird. They have such a good geographical location and could have done legitimate business, but they chose to do such evil things."

Zhang Wuya added: "It can only be said that it is short-sighted. If I were in Niu Shangpo, I would definitely take advantage of the advantages there, develop a legitimate livelihood, and lead the villagers to prosperity, instead of..."

Her voice trailed off, her eyes gleaming with hope for the future.

The two sisters' eyes met, as if they had silently exchanged a message full of confidence and determination, and they nodded to each other tacitly.

Xiao Youniang's eyes were gleaming with uncontrollable excitement. She turned to her mother and said in a voice full of undisguised excitement: "Oh, mother! This is great! We can take over the hot piece of land in Niu Shangpo in one fell swoop, build a store, or even build a grand restaurant!"

As she spoke, one seemed to be able to see the prosperous and bustling scene of the future.

Zhang Wuya followed up her sister's words, her tone full of longing for the future: "That's right! Look at how advantageous the geographical location is. Hongsi Temple is well-known, not only attracting people from Yanzhou and Pingzhou, but also a popular destination for tourists from near and far. If we open a restaurant and a store in that prime location, our Zhang family will probably be very wealthy!"

After saying this, the two sisters' eyes sparkled with infinite expectations for the future.

Xu Liyun gently rubbed his forehead, a trace of thought flashing between his brows, "Let me think about it carefully."

I secretly sighed in my heart that these two daughters are born with business acumen. They are always thinking about the development and expansion of the family business.

Zhang Laoer, as the pillar of the family, was the first to stand up and express his support: "Wife, I think it's feasible. Hong Temple welcomes pilgrims every day. If Niu Shangpo can have a restaurant to provide food and accommodation, many people will definitely be willing to stay."

His tone was full of confidence in this idea.

Grandpa Zhang, who was listening quietly at the side, was also infected by the heated discussion atmosphere and nodded in agreement. "While the momentum is strong, let's go to the county magistrate to discuss the purchase of land. After all, they still remember us from the last incident, and maybe they can give us a discount!"

There was a hint of shrewdness and anticipation on the old man's face.

When Xiao Youniang heard that they were going to take action, she couldn't hold back her excitement. She even ignored her lunch, picked up her backpack and ran out impatiently. "Let's go! Time is running out!"

Her drive to take action always leaves the whole family surprised and helpless.

The family came to the county government office in a grand manner, and the detectives recognized them immediately when they saw them.

It was this heroic family that assisted the government in dismantling Niu Shangpo's criminal lair.

A constable asked curiously and kindly: "Everyone, is there anything I can help you with today?"

Zhang Lao Er replied politely and modestly: "I have a small matter. I would like to ask to see Lord An. Is it convenient?"

He was not completely sure about the new county magistrate, but based on his previous cooperation with Deputy County Magistrate Jing, he had a good impression of the official and hoped to get a positive response this time.

Upon hearing this, the constable made an inviting gesture and said, "Everyone, please come in. I will take you to see Lord An."

As he spoke, he led the Zhang family into the county government office.

Another constable quickly ran to the study to report the news.

The enthusiasm he showed towards the Zhang family was even greater than when he was in Chengguan County.

After a while, the constable appeared at the door and led the Zhang family along the bluestone road towards the study.

When Zhang Laoer walked into the study and saw Prime Minister An, he immediately smiled and greeted him respectfully.

Then, without any polite words, he went straight to the point: "Sir An, I am here to visit you this time because I want to apply to you to buy the land in Niu Shangpo to build a large-scale restaurant."
