Seed dealers in ancient times

The renovation of the house at home has almost come to an end, and the house has become quiet, which is very suitable for raising a baby.

It was a joy for the whole family that Chu Xian was pregnant. After resting comfortably for two days, her body recovered a lot.

In the past two days, there were quite a few merchants who came to visit. Zheng Jiangting refused all of them. Many merchants in the city knew about the fact that he had fallen into a bandit's den because of delivering food. Now that he has returned safely, many of them came Greet people.

Although he knew that everyone had good intentions, Zheng Jiang stopped thinking about Chu Xian, for fear that something would happen if he got out of his sight.

"Now I'm all at home, and my mother is taking care of me. You don't have to be so careful, but I'm uncomfortable because of the noise."

Chu Xian drank a bowl of ginseng soup when she got up early, but within an hour, Zheng Jiangting brought back the best pastries sold by Ming Xiangji in the city.

"The doctor said that you have to keep your mood happy, and you will feel good when you eat sweets."

Chu Xian ate a mouthful of jujube cake in response: "I heard from Xiaoju that someone from the county government has come, and Qiu Lin is going to be tried today, so you should hurry over there, no matter what, he is the one who caused this incident and should be punished .”

In the past years, there were many famines, people's survival was difficult, and bandits ran rampant. There were many cases of collusion between the common people and the bandits.

After the world returned to peace, the imperial court attached great importance to this matter and issued an imperial edict stating that anyone who colludes with bandits will be punished with a felony.

Qiu Lin and Xifeng's gangsters communicated and sold the food delivery team. Logically speaking, the gangsters would not sell Qiu Lin for profit. What a coincidence.

After thinking about it, he thought that Qiu Lin had colluded with the trap specially set by the government, and confessed Qiu Lin when he was tried. He was afraid that Qiu Lin's meritorious service in suppressing the bandits would make up for his past mistakes, so he gave Qiu Lin these years He revealed all the letters he had exchanged with Xifeng and how many caravans he had robbed.

Because of the bandits in Xifeng all the year round, passing caravans were often robbed. Over time, caravans did not dare to pass through Xifeng, so they had to give up their business in Chunlai County.

Without caravans coming, it is not easy for the caravans in the county to go out. As time goes on, it will be unfavorable for Spring to come to the county.

The magistrate Ren managed to catch the chief culprit who hindered the development of trade in Chunlai County these years, and he must not want to spare the bandits and Qiu Lin lightly.

When Zheng Jiang stopped at the yamen, a lot of people had already gathered outside, many of them were spectators, family members of the victims, and even people who had been oppressed by their enemies before and came to complain.

"You wait outside. Although we are the direct victims, we didn't have a direct confrontation with Qiu Lin. We just need to write down the experience of this trip and put forward Qiu Lin's criminal motive."

Chu Xian nodded: "I'll wait for you in the carriage."

After Zheng Jiang stopped in the yamen, Chu Xian rolled up the sedan chair curtain, and the carriage stopped outside the yamen. At this time, there were a lot of people crowded in the yamen, and they were all watching the interrogation inside.

Although Chu Xian also wanted to see the trial process, taking care of her body, she didn't dare to squeeze in with everyone, and Zheng Jiang would stop and tell him the result.

When he had nothing to do, he watched the changes in the expressions of the people. In the vast crowd, it seemed that someone's eyes were glued to him.

Following his gaze, he actually saw the old and young of the Chou family.

The first person who is looking at him with a round figure is Qiu Yongnian, a dude in the past. Although he has not yet married his wife, there are already three or four concubines behind him. I couldn't tell whether it was real or fake crying, but Qiu Yongnian was visibly depressed by the naked eye.

Under the protection of his father, Qiu Yongnian has done many bad things all these years, and there are countless things of robbery and robbery. If Qiu Lin goes to prison and the family business falls on his shoulders, I don't know how many days he can choose.

Chu Xian suddenly felt like a dream. He left Fu Yuezhai because of being harassed by Qiu Yongnian in the past. Since then, he has never seen this rich young master again. It has been a long time since we meet again, but he did not expect to be in such an environment.

I have to sigh with emotion that things are impermanent.

He looked away, as if he hadn't seen such a person.

Zheng Jiang stopped handing in his confession, and seeing Qiu Lin who was being tried in the hall, wearing a prison uniform and messy hair, he said, "Master Qiu, don't come here and be safe."

Qiu Lin sneered coldly: "You are really lucky."

"I raised food with the victims of the disaster and accumulated good fortune. Naturally, it is a great fortune. But Master Qiu, half of his body was buried in the loess, and he chose to take an unusual path. He insisted on cutting off his own good fortune."

……

This time, not only did Zheng Jiang stop writing the confession, but the ordinary people who had been oppressed by the enemy in the past all came to sue, bullying men and women, forcibly pulling daughters and brothers to pay off debts, monopolizing firms, etc. - a series of crimes, quite interesting The situation of the wall falling and everyone pushing.

The Qiu family has been entrenched in Jincheng for many years, but they are not righteous, and they are indeed not worthy of pity.

After the interrogation, Qiu Lin was dispatched to the bitter cold border. Not surprisingly, he would never come back in this life. At the same time, many bandits in Xifeng Village were also sent to the army, except for the bandit leader who had many murders on his hands. , Many people still saved their lives.

Countless people died of illness and starvation in this era, and the population was not large. If it wasn't for the great crimes, they would generally not be sentenced to death, and it would be useful to save their lives.

After Qiu Lin was dispatched to the frontier, all the business of the Qiu family fell into the hands of Qiu Yongnian. Although the young master Qiu had been fascinated by his ears and eyes since he was a child, although he knew some business skills, but after all his life, he was completely inferior to Qiu Lin in business. The merchants who used to cooperate with the Qiu family ran away one after another, the inner house of the Qiu family was not stable, the housekeeper took a lot of money and ran away, and the wives of the couple were arguing about the separation of the family, internal and external troubles, the Qiu family's shops closed one after another - one after another.

The biggest competitor in the business field collapsed, but the Zheng family's business gained momentum, and they bought several shops.

In September, Zheng Jiangting received a letter.

"What did the letter say, but was there a threat?"

Zheng Jiangting shook his head and handed the letter to Chu Xian.

The letter was sent by Dongshanzhai. On the day he left the village, he had a conversation with the owner of the village. Dongshanzhai was actually a cottage built for self-protection. Most of them are poor people. , what they do is just some farming work, and they will go out to intercept merchants, and they are also in a situation of food shortages and unable to feed themselves. The nature is different from Xifeng.

He persuaded the owner of the village to surrender to the government. The bandits in Xifeng Village have been wiped out, and the Xifeng area has restored peace. Sending potato seeds, and teaching the local people to grow rare crops, so that the villagers in Dongshanzhai have a way to make money.

"At that time, things happened suddenly. I originally wanted Zhen Sheng to bring the letter back home, and then let the family deliver potatoes to the cottage, so that I could redeem me to go back, and secondly, I could help the people in the cottage to solve their food problems. At the same time, it can also grow things for us, the best of both worlds. But I didn’t expect Zhen Sheng to be caught by the government, so I was rescued. Before leaving, I briefly talked to the village owner about my thoughts.”

Chu Xian looked at the contents of the letter, and the owner of Dongshan Village agreed to Zheng Jiangting's proposal and was willing to be good.

"Presumably the people in Dongshanzhai have also learned that all the bandits from Xifeng have gone to the border. The location of the village has been exposed. It is impossible to move the village in the short term. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to find a way out."

Zheng Jiang stopped acquiescing to Chu Xian's statement: "If you can be a down-to-earth ordinary person, who wants to lick blood on the tip of a knife."

"So what are you going to do now?"

Zheng Jiangting got up from the slump: "The people from Dongshanzhai must have gone to the yamen, and I will also go to have a look. The matter has to be approved by the government. If the government wants to wipe out Dongshanzhai, then we have nothing to do. But Suppressing bandits is a waste of manpower and material resources, and if it can be resolved peacefully, the government should not use swords or guns."

Unsurprisingly, the gangsters in Xifeng alone have been dealt with, and those in Dongshan are willing to be good, which saves the government from spending a lot of effort to solve the problem. Opening a big road, so easy to travel to and from, also indicates the meaning of being upright in the future.

Taking advantage of the time when Dongshanzhai opened the road, Zheng Jiang stopped in Yangmu Village to collect and buy a large number of potatoes.

In the middle of the month, Zhen Sheng came to welcome Zheng Jiang to stop sending potatoes, and the most important thing was to teach the planting methods and experience.

The carriage drove out of the city all the way, followed by three large carts of potatoes, and this time the food was escorted by officers and soldiers sent by the government.

Zhen Sheng poked his head at the gate of the city, seeing the officers and soldiers subconsciously wanting to avoid him, Zheng Jiang stopped amused and said, "Why are you running, can you still be caught?"

Looking at the familiar man who lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, Zhen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smirk: "—Time has not completely changed from bandits to ordinary people, and I still think in my heart that I have to hide when I see officers and soldiers."

"There's no need to hide, this time the official is going to go to the village."

"Should be, should be." Zhen Sheng rubbed his hands, and led the horse he was riding to the fellow villagers: "I haven't been in a carriage or sedan chair before, let me sit on it too."

Zheng Jiangting raised his eyebrows: "No, the sedan chair won't fit."

"Don't be stingy, why don't you sit down alone, you won't let me go up, and then Shan Xiaoqiu will come to pester you, don't let me help you, that girl heard that you are going back, she started to toss about yesterday gone."

Zheng Jiang looked at the person in the sedan chair with a stiff neck, and coughed dryly: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Zhen Sheng stood outside, watching Zheng Jiang stop talking, he really looked like someone in the sedan chair, and was about to say that he was pretending to be so, when he saw the curtain of the sedan chair moved slightly, and immediately revealed a face like a white moon. Smiling at him, with a clear voice: "My husband is rude, please come in and sit down."

Zhen Sheng's Adam's apple slipped, this...isn't this the beauty who stunned him that day and made Zheng Jiangting his husband? He smacked his lips, both embarrassed and upset.
