Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 50

Qian Feng let out a sigh of relief, drove the ox cart, and took the pomegranates from the field to the south-facing avenue.

Qian Feng waved his whip and said happily: "Pomegranate, this road is wider and smoother. Let's keep going and hurry up without resting. We should be able to reach Yicheng before dark! Yicheng is the most prosperous city in our province. In this city, there must be a place to collect silkworm cocoons, and the first thing we do after selling the money is to go to a restaurant and have a good meal!"

"Okay! I've never eaten mutton, I think..." Before Shiliu could finish her sentence, she saw a group of people in blue clothes and high boots approaching, all of them holding swords. She covered her mouth in fright and hurriedly hid Walking behind Qian Feng.

Qian Feng was secretly startled, he couldn't be so unlucky, he finally bypassed the county seat, did he still not escape the official mission?He stabilized his mind, pretended to be nonchalant, holding the ox rope, and walked leisurely forward, while Pomegranate followed behind with his head down.

This group of blue-clothed people was aggressive, all of them had dark faces. They glanced at Qian Feng, but they didn't stop, they were still walking forward.

When they walked over, Qian Feng let out a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that it was dangerous.Just as he and Shiliu were relieved, they suddenly heard a shout behind them, "Stop!"

Pomegranate screamed "Ah" in fright, and hurried into Qian Feng's arms, Qian Feng comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid if I'm here, I'm just here to ask."

The leader of the official messenger led the group of people up to Qian Feng. They carefully looked at Qian Feng and the pomegranate, and then at the cattle and the things on the cart. A few servants opened the sack to see what was inside thing.

The leader was an obese middle-aged man in his 30s. He took out a silkworm cocoon and squeezed it in his hand, and asked arrogantly, "Where are you from and where do you want to go?"

Seeing their faces, Qian Feng was disgusted, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I come from Yinshan Town, Qinghe County, and I want to go to Yicheng to sell silkworm cocoons."

The leader frowned, "Oh? From out of town."

He looked around Qian Feng carefully again, and felt that Qian Feng's body was indeed like a farmer, but his expression and tone of speech were not quite like that.Only then did Qian Feng realize that just now he should have acted like an honest and trembling mud leg, but it seems to be too late now.

The leader snorted coldly, "Raising silkworms by myself, and having the guts to travel such a long way to sell silkworm cocoons in Yicheng, that's not a simple mind."

He raised his hand and waved at the person behind him, "Catch him!"

"Wait!" Qian Feng stopped, "You arrested people for no reason, what's the reason?"

The leader shook his fat face, and said angrily: "I never make sense in arresting people, I will arrest anyone who is suspicious, especially outsiders!"

Shiliu was trembling with fright just now, at this moment she suddenly stretched out her arms to protect Qian Feng's front, "You dare! He is my man, he didn't kill anyone or set fire to him, if you dare to arrest people randomly, I will kill you!" ...I will fight with you!"

The leader laughed, "Hey, where did you come from, and you know how to protect your own man, not bad." He looked at Pomegranate's round body and laughed, completely forgetting that he was even more fat, "Smelly girl, How about this, how about I lock you up with your man?"

Qian Feng pulled Shiliu behind him and shouted: "Is there any law in this world? You want to arrest even innocent women?"

Officials don't care about innocence, women or not, a dozen officers surrounded Qian Feng, one of them held Qian Feng's neck with a sword, and the other two took out ropes to tie Qian Feng up.

In a panic, Shiliu took out a hatchet from his coat and waved it, trying to fight those people desperately.

Qian Feng knew that these guards had some kung fu after all, not to mention the long and sharp swords in their hands, as long as he and Shiliu resisted a little, they might be killed.

Seeing that Pomegranate was about to swing a knife with the official, Qian Feng shouted, "Slow down!"

Qian Feng confessed, and he said to the leader with a playful smile: "Master, my mother-in-law was ignorant and offended you just now. In fact, I also know why you want to arrest people. Don't arrest our husband and wife and put them in the cell. I will help you." How do you find the murderer?"

The leader laughed for a while, blushing so much that his neck was so thick that he almost hugged his stomach, "It's up to you? Can you catch the murderer?"

Qian Feng winked and said: "Master, if I catch the murderer for you, you will have done a great service in front of the county magistrate, and you will be promoted to a high official in a blink of an eye!"

The leader didn't believe that Qian Feng could catch the murderer's nonsense, but he really wanted to play with Qian Feng, anyway, Qian Feng couldn't escape, so he shook his head and said, "Okay, then you young couple will come with us, we will Don't close your prison."

Shiliu was overjoyed, thinking that Qian Feng could really catch the murderer. In her eyes, Qian Feng was extremely smart, otherwise how could he tell so many amazing stories.She led the ox, and the ox pulled the cart, walking behind Qian Feng.

Qian Feng felt that he was ridiculous enough. He didn't even know what was going on in the case. Where could he go to catch the murderer?Alas, now I can only bite the bullet and take one step at a time, and slip away as soon as I find an opportunity!
