Chapter 188

Although the two attendants were worried, since Qin Yiran did not say anything, they had to keep calm and watch Zhuangzi from afar.

After a while, there were deafening shouts and wailing sounds coming from Zhuangzi's place.

At the same time, torches were lit in the village.

The two attendants opened their eyes wide, "My dear, no wonder you are not worried, it turns out that the farm has been prepared for this."

Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes. The preparation was not arranged by him, but by Liu Yingyue.

She actually guessed that someone was attacking her secretly?
Obviously, the village was well prepared. Dozens of bandits did not gain any advantage and instead suffered many casualties.

Seeing more and more people falling to the ground and someone shouting to catch Gao Yucheng, the bandits who climbed the wall hurriedly slipped down and escaped in the night.

Gradually, the surroundings calmed down.

The two attendants clapped their hands, "What a great ambush! By the way, my dear, Gao Yucheng has been arrested by the village, do you still need to investigate?"

Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes and said, "No need to check, let's go to the capital."

"Yes, Langjun!"
-
Qin's manor.

After Liu Yingyue sent people to guard the captured bandits and Gao Yucheng, she returned to the backyard to see Madam Qin.

There was a robbery in the farm and the sound of killing could be heard in the back house, which frightened Mrs. Qin so much that she put on her clothes and went to see Liu Yingyue.

Several maids tried to persuade her to go, but refused to let her go no matter what.

The front finally became quiet. Liu Yingyue arrived with Hongzhu, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mrs. Ying."

"Everything is fine at the farm, everyone can go back and rest." Liu Yingyue nodded to everyone.

Madam Qin grabbed Liu Yingyue's arm and looked her up and down, "Yingyue, are you okay?" "I'm fine. There are many people in our village. We have caught the bandits. I have sent someone to report to the county government. Someone from the government will come to investigate the case tomorrow morning. Don't worry, mother. Let's go to sleep." Liu Yingyue supported Madam Qin and walked into the bedroom.

"That's good, that's good." Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
-
Around noon the next day, someone from the county government came.

Liu Yingyue arranged for people to bring the captured people up.

The captain recognized Gao Yucheng and frowned, "You are the young master of the Gao family? How did you become a bandit?"

Gao Yucheng grabbed the captain's hand and said, "Captain Wang, if you let me go, my Gao family will not treat you unfairly."

Captain Wang smiled and said, "Young Master Gao, I am just a captain. Someone reported a crime and I came to investigate. Whether or not to release you is up to the county magistrate. I cannot make the decision. Sorry for the inconvenience."

He waved his hands around and ordered his men to tie up Gao Yucheng.

Gao Yucheng was so angry that he burst into tears.

Liu Yingyue curled her lips gently. Gao Yucheng wanted to take the back door? He must be dreaming.

The current county magistrate has some grievances with the Gao family and has also secretly started a rebellion with Qin Yiran. How could he let Gao Yucheng go?
Besides, Gao Yucheng’s second uncle is the manager of the Prince of Yue’s Palace, and the Prince of Yue and the Qin family are sworn enemies.

Gao Yucheng, don't even think about turning things around this time.

Captain Wang didn't know the other thing, but he knew one thing. He also knew that County Magistrate Zhou had some grudges with the Gao family, so he hardly asked about the case. He ordered his men to arrest Gao Yucheng and his gang and take them to the county town.

As the party reporting the case, the Qin family also has to send someone there.

Liu Yingyue did not show up, but only arranged for Manager Tian to follow.

The journey to the county town is long, and even if the case is tried quickly, the result will not be known until tomorrow.

The next day at noon, Manager Tian returned to the village.

"Madam Ying, County Magistrate Zhou has imprisoned Gao Yucheng and sentenced him to five years in prison. He has also been fined two thousand taels of silver. I have followed Madam Ying's instructions and have asked him to compensate for the damage to the farm. Here is a silver note for one thousand taels."
