Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[One Thirty Seven]

These mountain thieves can finally be properly resolved, as long as they go down the mountain and notify the local government to go up the mountain to investigate, but probably nothing can be found.

Zhou Jinyu lifted the curtain of the car and saw that Wan Qiu had been knocked out, and snorted, feeling angry.

After setting up Wei Huanian, Zhou Jinyu was about to go forward to drive, but suddenly kicked something under her feet. She lowered her head, bent down and picked it up. It was a token.

There is only one golden lacquer character written on the token, Cao.

Zhou Jinyu was startled, isn't this the token of Cao Gang Xiang Nantian? Why is it in the hands of the person in front of him?

Could it be that this is someone from the Cao Gang?

But why did the people from the Cao Gang come here to be bandits?

Besides, why is the token of the leader of the Cao Gang in the hands of these people?

Could it be that something happened to Xiang Nantian?

Thinking of this, she silently put away the token, then got into the carriage and drove back.

When she arrived at the inn, Wanqiu girl had already woken up, but her face was still pale, obviously she was not clear from the fright.

The group went back to the inn. This time, before Zhou Jinyu could speak, Wei Huanian wanted to leave on his own initiative.

Zhou Jinyu didn't say anything more, watched her pack up her things, and sent her away.

When the girl left, Zhou Jinyu felt very uncomfortable, secretly thinking that the matter in Yong'an County must be resolved quickly so that she can return to the capital as soon as possible.

Liu Mudao: "Fourth Master, I have already done what you ordered me to do. The master of the Su family said that as long as you give me an order, he will naturally pay the money."

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "Well done, oh yes, yesterday I sent a letter to Qianlong Temple with Feige, is there any news from there?"

Liu Mu shook his head: "Not yet, but according to the estimated time, it is estimated that the letter will be received before tonight."

Zhou Jinyu said: "When you receive the news, let me know as soon as possible."

Liu Mudao: "Understood, Fourth Master."

Zhou Jinyu ordered: "Send someone to the Niangniang Temple to see if there is anything."

Liu Mu understood, turned around and gave instructions to a follower, and the follower left the inn.

Zhou Jinyu walked out of the inn with his hands behind his back. The two yamen servants originally wanted to follow, but Zhou Jinyu didn't refuse and let them follow.

Liu Mu also followed her out and asked, "Fourth Master, where are we going?"

Zhou Jinyu said, "Let's go for a walk on the dam."

A group of people soon arrived at the riverside. At this time, people from the Ministry of Industry were busy there, and a bunch of workers were bare-chested, working under the command.

The official from the Ministry of Industry naturally didn't know Zhou Jinyu, but when he saw the official servant behind her, he thought she was from the Yamen, so he naturally ignored her.

Zhou Jinyu was so happy that no one would bother her, so she walked around the river with her hands behind her back.

For some reason, some people suddenly came from a distance, and those people were generally elderly, and they were walking here with hoes in their hands.

Those people obviously didn't come to repair the dam, it looked more like they came to make trouble.

Zhou Jinyu stood where he was, watching the group of villagers approaching from a distance, and the leader was an elderly man with white hair, but his voice was like a bell when he spoke angrily. .

They gathered by the river, although they were all old, there were almost a hundred of them.

The young officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry did not panic, but just scolded them: "Old Liu, what are you trying to do? Rebellion!"

When he roared out, officers and soldiers immediately surrounded him.

Liu Mu and the two arresting followers behind him immediately wanted Zhou Jinyu to go, but Zhou Jinyu just waved his hand: "Look again."

Liu Mu bowed his waist, and backed away again.

Facing the threats from the officials of the Ministry of Industry, the old Liu was not only not afraid at all, but puffed out his chest and said angrily, "You build dams as soon as you build them. Why do you want to dig our ancestral graves? You are not afraid of doing such immoral things." Retribution!"

As soon as his words came out, the other villagers were excited, eager to try with the hoe in their hands, and they were all furious.

The official from the Ministry of Industry snorted coldly: "At the beginning, I wanted to compensate you with money, but you personally agreed, old Liu, what's the matter, now you want to go back on your word?"

Old Liu was completely angry: "Damn! You only said you wanted to occupy our piece of land, but you didn't say you wanted to dig our ancestral grave!"

The official from the Ministry of Industry shrugged his shoulders and made a look of indifference: "Since your land has been sold to the government, it is our business how we use it. If you continue to mess around here, be careful to catch you all in the yamen go inside."

His words completely angered everyone, and Old Liu shouted: "You dig our ancestral grave, we will fight with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people accompanying him rushed forward with hoes in hand, beating and cursing at the officers and soldiers surrounding them.

All their grievances were directed at these officers and soldiers. The official from the Ministry of Industry was originally arrogant, but when he saw the scene in a mess, there was obviously panic in his eyes.

But he was only flustered for a moment, and then, he took the sword handed over by his subordinates, and rushed towards the old Liu just now.

Then, the hand rises and the knife falls.

A human head just rolled down and rolled to Zhou Jinyu's feet.

Old Liu Tou's eyes are still open, and he will not rest in peace.

Zhou Jinyu frowned, bent down, stretched out his hand, and closed his wide open eyes.

The scene suddenly stopped.

The villagers who were originally carrying hoes seemed to have been tapped collectively, and they all stood in place and did not move.

The official from the Ministry of Industry shouted: "If you don't know what to do anymore, you will end up like this person!"

The villagers looked at each other, and at this moment, a mournful cry suddenly came out from the crowd: "Daddy! Daddy!"

The voice was that of a young man, who had grown into a large man, wearing only a white undershirt.

He rushed out of the crowd, hugged the headless corpse on the ground, and suddenly yelled in pain: "Father! Father!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at the official from the Ministry of Industry. He was holding an ax in his hand, ready to avenge his father.

However, several officers and soldiers were immediately blocked in front of the Ministry of Industry officials.

The man's hand holding the ax was shaking.

At this time, someone among the people shouted: "Folks, they dug our graves and killed us. Let's fight him!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately wanted to rush forward again.

And these people are just kind-hearted people who grow crops. If they rush up to fight against the officials, they will undoubtedly die.

So, the official of the Ministry of Industry shouted: "It's wrong, it's wrong, come here, kill them for me!"

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"

"stop!"

Just when the officers and soldiers were about to rush forward, a voice suddenly appeared.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and it was a handsome man in a pale white gown, followed by a follower, and two officials from the government office.

Zhou Jinyu stepped forward, looked at the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said coldly, "What are you trying to do? Are you addicted to killing people? They are all common people! What's your name?"

The Ministry of Industry official asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Jinyu suddenly kicked the official of the Ministry of Industry on the knee, he immediately bent down in pain, and at the same time he yelled in pain: "Bastard! You dare to do anything to me! Come on, come on, come on to me!" Get him!"

Just when the soldiers were about to step forward, Zhou Jinyu suddenly pulled out the folding fan of Emperor Tianshun from her waist. She held the fan in her hand, twirled it habitually, and then, at the hands of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, unfold in front of you.

Zhou Jinyu said coldly: "Now, do you know who I am?"

The official from the Ministry of Industry originally bent over because of Zhou Jinyu's foot. When he saw the folding fan, he knelt down in fright and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When he shouted, the surrounding officers and soldiers also knelt down instantly, and for a while, the riverside was full of voices shouting long live.

Zhou Jinyu said: "I am an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty, so is Zhou Jinyu."

The official of the Ministry of Industry immediately bowed his head and said: "The humble official has eyes but sees nothing, and the humble official Song Zhi, I pay my respects to the imperial envoy!"

The folding fan bestowed by Emperor Tianshun, once the fan comes out, it is as if Emperor Tianshun came in person.

The officials bought it, but the common people didn't care if it was Emperor Tianshun's fan, or how big your official was, especially the young man whose father was killed, immediately rushed up with an axe.

Zhou Jinyu saw his intention and pointed at him, "You, come here."

The young man thought for a while, with hesitation in his eyes, but he still walked forward.

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Tell me, what happened to your ancestral grave?"

The young man said bitterly: "Are you guys in the same group?"

Zhou Jinyu tilted his head and glanced at Song Zhi, an official from the Ministry of Industry. Song Zhi's eyes were filled with horror. Zhou Jinyu asked him, "Am I with you?"

Song Zhi said repeatedly: "No, no, I don't dare, I don't dare."

Zhou Jinyu looked at the young man and smiled: "You heard me, I am not with him. I am an imperial envoy, an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court."

The young man looked at her, as if wondering whether to believe her or not.

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Do you know what an imperial envoy is?"

The young man shook his head.

Zhou Jinyu explained: "If you have any grievances, just tell me, and I can make the decision for you."

The young man gritted his teeth and said, "We are all citizens of Yong'an County. A few days ago, this man surnamed Song came to our house and said that he would give us money and confiscate our land. At the beginning, he promised us that Only accept those who are near the river, but then they backtracked and said that we sold all the land to them and dug our ancestral graves!"

Zhou Jinyu nodded: "So that's what happened."

She glanced at Liu Zhi and asked, "Is what he said true? Did you really dig his ancestral grave?"

Liu Zhi suddenly yelled for being wronged: "My lord, this official is only doing what it is supposed to do. I am wronged, my lord. The problem is that if this official does not push their graves away, there is no way to build the dam!"

Zhou Jinyu gave him a cold look: "Oh?"

The young man said angrily: "You fart! You obviously swallowed up the land in the name of building the dam, and divided it up with that dog county magistrate!"

Liu Zhi ignored him, just looked at Zhou Jinyu and begged for mercy, "My lord, you can clearly see that the lower officials are all for repairing the dam, and they didn't do anything!"

Zhou Jinyu nodded, pretending to understand him: "Yes, I also feel that you have really worked hard to build the dam."

Liu Zhi immediately felt relieved: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

Zhou Jinyu raised his brows, and changed the topic: "But you dug his ancestral grave and killed his father, it's nothing like a joke!"

Liu Zhi: "..."
