Chapter 452
After a few words of politeness between the two, Li Qichang said that he would send a car to take him back, but Bai Yunsong refused.

"It's not easy to travel with horses and chariots in a snowy day. I can go back faster by myself, so I don't bother Mr. Elder. I just hope that Mr. Elder will arrest the thieves and bring them back to peace in the hometown. This is our greatest wish."

"Bai Lizheng can rest assured that it is my duty to catch the thieves. I just need to find their hiding places and I can take them down in one fell swoop."

Regarding the matter of thieves, they actually knew it well. Who made the disaster victims all over the place?
When Bai Yunsong returned to the village, it was already dark, and he was greeted by people as soon as he entered the village.

"Lizheng, why have you been away for so long?"

"That's right, we've been waiting for you for a whole day, and our feet are numb from the cold."

Bai Yunsong looked at the anxious expressions of the crowd, and waved his hands,

"Let's go home first. Chief Li Qi didn't go back until the afternoon. Thefts happened in several villages around us. If other villages reported to the officials early, Chief Li Qi took people to the countryside."

"I have been guarding the gate of the town's yamen. I didn't tell him about the situation in our village until Lord Qi came back. Chief Li suspected that it was a group, and it is estimated that there will be a result within two days."

After listening to Bai Yunsong's narration, the villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. We're afraid that the elders will make excuses, and the thieves won't be able to catch them. We have to live in fear every day."

"Lizheng, since you're back, shall we start collecting donations? Our family is still hungry."

Someone suggested it, and the rest followed suit,

"Yeah, I can bear with it today, but I can't stop eating tomorrow,"

Hearing everyone's eager tone, Bai Yunsong was extremely depressed.

He just came back from a day of running, shivering with cold, no one asked him how his day was, and no one asked him if the road was safe, but he only cared about his belly.

Bai Yunsong looked at them quietly for a moment, then turned and left, his face somber as if he was about to drip ink.

Everyone was startled, looked at Li Zheng's back, and looked at each other.

"What's wrong with Lizheng? Does he not want to bring us to collect food? How can this be done? Our family will run out of food tomorrow."

"Don't say your family is out of food, my food tank has been broken, and there are only a few pieces of sweet potatoes left, which have been eaten today."

At the thought of going hungry tomorrow, everyone didn't care whether Bai Yunsong was really angry or didn't want to help them solve the food problem, so they rushed over and grabbed his arm.

"Stand at attention, can't you leave us alone?"

"That's right, our family is still waiting for dinner."

Bai Yunsong looked at their anxious eyes, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot,

"You only care about whether your stomachs are full, but have you ever thought that I ran for you all day, starved and cold in the town, and didn't eat a sip of water or a grain of rice. Shouldn't I go home and have a meal first? , Warm your stomach, take it easy?"

"You have to exhaust me and freeze me to death to be worthy of you? It's good that I am your wife, but I am not your parents, so I have to take care of your food and drink."

The more Bai Yunsong talked, the more angry he became, and finally he just flicked his sleeves and walked forward with a snort. He was really pissed off.

He just wanted to be a good guy, but he didn't want to exhaust himself.

The imperial court didn't give him a salary, so Lizheng just wanted to gain a good reputation, and there was some instruction from above that they could get the news as soon as possible, so it would be more convenient for them to go to the town government to do errands.
