Liu Qingcao returned to the house before it got dark. Chen Cuizhi saw that the person had returned safely and put dinner on the table.

Liu Qingcao dealt with the two simply, got up and went back to the house.

Chen Cuizhi looked at the closed door, secretly worried.

"Girl..." Chen Cuizhi muttered, then put away the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen. She couldn't help the girl with other things, so she could only do the things in the house well so that the girl wouldn't worry too much.

In the room, Liu Qingcao placed the letter paper on the table, staring at one spot, motionless.

After a long time, she withdrew her thoughts, threw the letter paper into the space, picked up a pen and began to write.

Early the next morning, Liu Qingcao had breakfast, took Liu Xiao and Liu Wu out of the work shed, gave the letter to them, and gave instructions.

"This is silver taels for the road. When you get the letter, go find someone immediately."

Liu Qingcao took out two 20 taels of silver notes and two taels of silver, and handed them to the two.

The two took the money and left immediately.

After they left, Liu Qingcao walked quickly to Jiang Zhai to find Jiang Dafu.

When they arrived at Jiangzhai, Liu Qingcao learned that Jiang Dafu was not at home, so he quickly drove the ox cart to Shiqing Village to find someone.

……

Shiqing Village.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Tian, ​​Brother Jiang Li, are you all here?" Liu Qingcao stepped into the gate quickly, and from a distance, she saw the three of them talking about something sadly, and without waiting for a moment, she called out directly. Three people were broken.

Hearing the sound, the three turned their heads to look at Liu Qingcao.

"Qingcao, who is this?" Jiang Dafu noticed the anxious look on Liu Qingcao's face, and hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Qingcao, why are you in such a hurry?" Tian Lin and Jiang Li also noticed the difference between Liu Qingcao and the past at this time, and they felt a little worried in their hearts.

Liu Qingcao took a rest before speaking to the three of them.

"The potatoes in the village can be harvested in two days. I got news yesterday that an official came to Xin County half a month ago. I heard that he came for the potatoes in our village. I don't know if it's true or not. We have to do it early. Arrangements will do."

After Jiang Dafu and the other three listened, their brows furrowed and their faces became even more sad.

Liu Qingcao caught their abnormality and frowned slightly.

"Brother Jiang, what happened to you?"

When they first entered the door, they saw that the three of them had bad expressions. Now it seems that things are not simple.

Jiang Dafu saw that Tian Lin was the same as Jiang Li, then sighed, and told Liu Qingcao everything.

"Qingcao, your eldest brother Tian went to the town to buy things yesterday, but was stopped by Xiao Jinhong, the head of the Xiao family, and asked your eldest brother Tian to take the potato harvest and sell it to him. Then he will give you 200 yuan The favor fee of two silver coins..."

"..."

Therefore, Shihe Village has become a target for others!

"Qingcao, I just found out about this. The three of us just discussed it for a while, and we have the same idea as you. Let's collect the potatoes immediately, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao, and seeing that she didn't speak, he put Their thoughts are spoken.

Liu Qingcao nodded. At present, they have no better way.

"Brother Jiang, we will go back and inform the villagers immediately, telling everyone to collect all the potatoes, and bring the potatoes to my house. I will find a way to sell them as soon as possible." Thinking of the content of the letter, Liu Qingcao secretly rejoiced, But she didn't know if they could collect all the potatoes before that person came, and she wasn't worried about whether they could sell them.

"Okay, I'll go back and inform the villagers. Lin Zi, Jiang Li, you guys make arrangements, and go back to collect potatoes together, and come back when you're done." Jiang Dafu looked at the two people beside him and reminded him aloud.

Tian Lin and Jiang Li nodded, immediately went out to explain the matter, and then followed Liu Qingcao back to Shihe Village.

As soon as Jiang Dafu returned to Shihe Village, he jumped off the bullock cart and ran into the house, took out the gong and started beating it bang bang.

At this time, it was almost noon, and Jiang Dafu didn't care whether everyone had lunch or not, so he knocked and yelled at the throat, and after a while, many villagers gathered outside Jiang's house.

The villagers whispered to each other, discussing with each other the content of the next meeting.

"Xiong Wu, do you know what the Village Chief Jiang is holding a meeting for?" Shang Xiangxiang listened to the discussions around her, but couldn't figure it out, so she turned around and asked Xiong Wu, who was close to Jiang Dafu. .

But Xiong Wu didn't know, he shook his head and said in a low tone.

"It's not a trivial matter to hold a meeting at this time."

After Shang Xiangxiang heard it, she felt uneasy. Xiong Wu was right, the meeting must be urgent at this time.

Amidst the people's guesses and discussions, Jiang Dafu ran quickly with the gong in hand. Seeing that most of the people had come, he put down the gong and went back to the house to drink some water.

During a cup of tea, the remaining villagers arrived outside the house one after another, and Liu Qingcao also stood among them.

"Fellow folks, today's meeting was sudden, and I have something important to tell everyone."

Jiang Dafu paused for a moment, his eyes wandered over the faces of the crowd, the people below waited with bated breath, no one asked any questions.

After a few breaths, Jiang Dafu spoke again, "The potatoes in our village have been targeted by someone, and it's time to harvest. After lunch today, everyone put aside everything at hand and hurry up to harvest the potatoes." Get up, transport it to the green grass, and sell it early, so as not to be calculated by others."

"Da Fu, what's going on?" Xiong Wu asked.

"The head of the Xiao family in the town found Tian Lin yesterday and asked him to accept our potatoes at a low price. Today, Qingcao learned that a Beijing official came to our Qianfeng Town for the potatoes in our village. Just in case, we have to sell the potatoes in the field. The potatoes are all harvested and ready to plant seedlings."

After Jiang Dafu finished speaking, the villagers fell silent.

It seemed shocked, and it seemed sad.

"Major Jiang, will the Beijing official be a good one?"

Shang Xiangxiang raised his doubts in a low voice, Jiang Dafu looked at Liu Qingcao, Liu Qingcao lowered his eyes and shook his head gently.

"It's a bad one." Jiang Dafu said with a solemn expression, without any hesitation.

When the villagers heard this, they all gasped.

They know that if the people don't fight with the officials, if they really have to, they won't have any good fruit to eat.

Jiang Dafu knew what they were thinking, but before things happened, there would definitely be a turning point, and the turning point was to collect the potatoes in the field and sell them, plow the fields quickly, and confuse the news those people got.

"It's better to harvest potatoes sooner rather than later. Everyone hurry up and go home and eat lunch, so we can dig potatoes." Jiang Dafu didn't want to waste time by talking, so he urged the villagers to disperse.

At the Willow House at the end of the village, Liu Qing hastily ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then drove the ox cart to the nursery and private schools.

"Qingcao, you are here."
