Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 282
Every day before dawn, Zha Shuo would get up and practice with the people in the village.

Today, I was ordered by Baimu's mother to go to the city to buy some things, and I even came out of the stockade early. The stockade is like this when shopping, so I choose to go back when there are few people, so as not to be looked at and pointed at.

All the way to the city, he saw people coming and going from the government office, and when he got close to Fengxia Village, he heard the villagers talking that bandits came to the village at night, and the bandits even killed Lizheng's son in the village.

Cha Shuo immediately thought of the sixteen resettled families.

All the members of the main family in Fengxia Village died, and the relocation must have caused damage.

Riding a horse to the outside of the village, he saw the footprints of many people and horses on the snow, and there was no one at the entrance of the village, so he went straight in.

Then I found traps that were not fully cleared, and large and small stones, but luckily I didn't see the body.

However, he never saw anyone in the village, and he couldn't let go of this concern until he found Zhao's house along the cooking smoke and heard messy voices.

If he hadn't been so eager, he would have noticed that the villagers' words were filled with smiles, but before he had time to distinguish them, he had already stepped into the yard first, and at the entrance of the yard, he saw Widow Xie.

So I asked if there were bandits?
Cha Shuo is also impatient, he walks ahead, and Widow Xie's response chases after him.

When he caught up, Zha Shuo found a whole yard of people. His eyes passed over Zhao Luoyang, Mrs. Yang and the others, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everyone is here.

It was not the first time that Zha Shuo came here, even people who had never been to the village knew him, so everyone stepped aside so that Zhao Xueli could invite Zha Shuo into the house.

Sitting on the bench made by Zhao Xueyi, Zhao Xueli told Cha Shuo what happened last night.

Zha Shuo was a little confused when he heard it: "You just used the traps and the bows and arrows we gave you to tie up those bandits?"

Zhao Xueli nodded: "The bandits were not prepared, and people from the government office came later." This is the result of his discussion with Mr. Zhao, and he said so to the outside world.

Zhao Xueli laughed: "I have to thank you all."

Cha Shuo didn't understand even more, where did this thank you come from?

Zhao Luoyang said: "Mother Bai reminded me that we may be targeted by people who sell cheap charcoal."

Only then did Zha Shuo figure out the ins and outs, so the Zhao family girl took it to heart, so she came back and followed Shiliuhu to prepare these quietly.

"You must be on guard against others," Mr. Song was afraid that the words of the little fox would not be fully believed. "We passed bandits once on the road, and many people died. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, we must guard against any of them. Others If you can’t do it, dig a trap in the village, and you can deal with it if something really happens.”

Mr. Song stroked his beard as he spoke: "When digging, some people said that making a fuss out of a molehill, so let's use it now?"

Zha Shuo raised his eyes and saw an old man with gray hair sitting on the seat in the room. He was not young at first glance, but he was in good spirits.

Cha Shuo felt pain in the palm of his hand when he looked at it, and he subconsciously thought of a gentleman hired by Bai Muma to teach them how to read.It seems that such things as digging traps are the idea of ​​this gentleman.

Zhao Xueli said: "I have earned a lot of money these days, and my heart is not at ease. One day when I was inspecting, I saw someone sneaking around the village. From that day on, we took turns to take care of the village. Yesterday those bandits came I saw it, and they stepped into the trap when they came in."

"The second time the bandits sent people, the night watchmen from the government office arrived and helped us deal with those people. It was the people from the government office who took down the leader of the bandits."

Zhao Xueli said, and handed the arrows in the bamboo basket to Zha Shuo: "However, most of the arrows are useless and have to be made again."

Cha Shuo said: "It's easy to talk about arrows. I brought some from the stockade. If I knew it would be so dangerous, I should give you more things to defend yourself."

Zhao Xueli said with a smile: "The arrows we made ourselves are also useful, but the accuracy is not enough, we need to practice more on weekdays."

Everyone said it was easy, but Zha Shuo saw the men of Shiliuhu, who were more or less injured.He frowned, thinking of those under Sun Ji, and wanted to have a few more words with Shiliuhu.

"Looking at it this way, Taozhou is still not peaceful," Zha Shuo said, "It's not necessarily because you have offended people by selling charcoal, but you may still be here for the purpose of relocating people."

"Don't look at capturing all the bandits this time, you have to be careful and don't relax."

Zhao Xueli nodded in agreement.

Zha Shuo felt that he had to go back and talk to the patriarch about it, and he looked at Zhao Luoyang again: "When going back and forth to the village, pay more attention."

The words seemed to be for everyone to listen to, but they especially emphasized Zhao Luoyang.

Shi Jiu frowned, this Zha Shuo said something and asked about things, why didn't he leave?
Mrs. Yang brought hot porridge and dried vegetables and cakes from the kitchen for Cha Shuo to eat.

Zha Shuo is big and strong, and he has eaten in the village, so it will not delay him to eat again.

Zhao Luoyang watched it several times.

"Does it look that good?"

Shi Jiu suddenly made a sound in his mind.

Zhao Luoyang smiled and said, "What's good or not? I just thought, the little mute's injury has been bad, is it because he ate less?"

Shi Jiu chuckled inwardly, regretting that he hadn't found her before he was injured, if he had met her then, he probably wouldn't have said that.

Zhao Luoyang didn't hear an answer for a long time, and was about to ask Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu said: "Then you can deliver a few more meals, so the little mute can eat more?"

Before leaving, Zha Shuo thanked everyone and nodded to Zhao Luoyang when he left the room.

Zhao Luoyang didn't feel anything, she came and went to the village, she was used to greeting people in the village like this.

Shi Jiu restrained himself from talking about Zha Shuo. If he talked too much, Xiao Jiajia would definitely become suspicious.

Everyone didn't go to the stockade today, and everyone had a rest in the village for the whole day. Originally, Zhao Xueli had to make a trip to talk to the people in the stockade. Now that Zha Shuo knew about it, it saved them trouble.

Zhao Luoyang went to Mr. Song's house.

Song Taiye said: "The trap has to be changed. Anyway, they can't stay where they are. They all know it, and they won't enter the village like this next time."

Zhao Luoyang said: "They won't come like this next time, right? This time, they're not really aiming at Fengxia Village, they just want to make a mark to trouble Mr. Zhao."

Song Taiye said: "It was the fault of the parents and officials to let the mountain bandits slaughter the village, and it was the refugees who killed them. If the news spread, the refugees would inevitably be panic-stricken. Even if the refugees did not do something, someone would arrange it secretly, and the government office would be overwhelmed. Taozhou's deputy Zhizhou could not stabilize the situation, so in a hurry, a new Zhizhou had to be appointed."

"I didn't succeed this time," Zhao Luoyang said, "The Feng family has to find another way."

More to think about.Mr. Song was about to walk back with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Luoyang took out a seed from his bosom and handed it to Mr. Song: "Sir, what kind of seed is this, do you know it?"

Mr. Song narrowed his eyes and tilted his head back, so that he could see clearly what was in Zhao Luoyang's hand. He didn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Luoyang was a little disappointed: "There is something that the husband doesn't know!"

Mr. Song's ears turned hot. He thought he was rich in learning, so why did he always fall into trouble with his little apprentice?

"Want to know?" Mr. Song waved his sleeves, "Isn't it enough to plant it?"

It seems that this is the only way to go.

Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said: "I have more and more confidence in this seed."

Shi Jiu didn't know why she said that.

Zhao Luoyang said: "Think about it, this is a seed that no one knows about. If it is useful, what it grows must be very precious."

Shi Jiu said: "Things are rare and precious."

That's the reason.Zhao Luoyang now feels that 5000 yuan is not a loss.

The West Village cleaned up noisyly, and the sound of children laughing could be heard from time to time.

The Gao family in the East Village has already hung up white lanterns.

Gao Zhengshen's daughter-in-law's eyes were red from crying, and Gao Lizheng's illness suddenly became serious again.

The villagers in the East Village comforted Gao's family, and also inquired about what happened last night in low voices. They didn't understand that the bandits were supposed to be aiming at the resettlers, so why did Gao Zhengshen let the bandits kill them instead?
"Zhengshen wanted to send a letter to the Yamen's Office, but he ran into bandits when he went out," Gao Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Li Shi said, "If I knew this was the result, I couldn't let him go out no matter what."

After hearing this, the villagers in the East Village realized that this was the case.

"Those people in West Village have no conscience," a villager said, "The boss of the Gao family was killed because of them, and they didn't even come to visit."

Mrs. Li hated the sixteen resettled families to death. Hearing that they were all safe and sound, she felt as if she had been roasted.

How are they all right?Why is she dead?It must be a reason to die.

She even suspected that Zheng Shen was killed by the migrants and planted on bandits.
