When Liu Qingcao and the others returned to Shihe Village, just as the cock crowed and the dawn was announced, most people in the village had already woken up and started cooking.

Worried about Jiang Dafu's affairs, Li Shumei sat in the lobby all night, looking out of the courtyard with red and swollen eyes.

Jiang Dahe was smoking a big cigarette, with a solemn expression.

"Aunt Li."

"mother."

Liu Qingcao and the others got out of the bullock cart and walked to the courtyard. Li Shumei got up and came out when she heard the sound.

"Magnolia, Qingcao, have you found them? Where are your sister-in-law and elder brother?"

Li Shumei asked nervously, holding Liu Yulan's sleeve tightly with her hands, her voice urgent.

"Mother, I found it, I found it, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are still in town, and they will come back after resting."

Liu Yulan picked up the good ones and said that she didn't dare to tell her in-laws the truth, for fear that they would be hurt if they couldn't bear it.

Li Shumei frowned, a little suspicious, and asked with a straight face.

"Yulan, tell me the truth, did something happen to your eldest brother!"

"Mother, it's okay, I just accidentally fell on the way back and suffered some skin injuries, so I was delayed." Liu Yulan lowered her head, her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look into Li Shumei's eyes.

Seeing that Li Shumei already had suspicions in her heart, Liu Qingcao couldn't get rid of it with a few words, so she stepped forward to help explain.

"Aunt Li, brother Jiang and the others are fine now, don't worry, they will be back tonight at the latest.

They were tired from the journey, and they fell down and suffered some injuries. The autumn dew was heavy at night, so we arranged for them to rest in the inn. "

"Qingcao, Brother Jiang and the others are really alright?"

"It's okay, Aunt Li just rest assured, we rushed back to report because we were afraid that you were too worried, otherwise we planned to rest in the town."

Liu Qingcao smiled and looked at Li Shumei firmly.

Seeing her determined appearance, Li Shumei was secretly relieved, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly spoke.

"Qingcao, then you Second Brother Jiang and his group, why haven't you come back yet, didn't you go to the county together?"

"Aunt Li, we stayed in the town. Brother Jiang and the others took people to the county town. Maybe they went on different paths and missed it."

"Okay, as long as it's okay." Li Shumei nodded and sat back on the chair wearily.

Seeing that she was really sleepy, Liu Yulan stepped forward to help her up and went into the house.

Jiang Dahe didn't speak from beginning to end, but after learning that his eldest son was safe, he put out his pipe and went back to his room to rest.

Liu Qingcao thought of Jiang Dayin and the others, they walked the official road, so they should not have met Jiang Dafu, unless Jiang Dafu and Pan Yong did not take the official road, but came back by another way, otherwise the road would definitely be can touch.

Normally, both of them took the official path, but this time they didn't. It must have happened suddenly that they chose to take another path.

After Liu Qingcao turned the matter around in her mind, her eyes froze.

It seems that she has to go to the town to find Lizheng.

"Sister-in-law Yulan, I'm going to the town, don't go to the private school today, take good care of Aunt Li and the others, I will arrange someone to go."

"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you Qingcao." Liu Yulan originally planned not to go today, but before she had time to speak, Liu Qingcao had already arranged for her, and she couldn't help feeling grateful.

"That's fine, sister-in-law Yulan, you can also rest for a while, and I'll leave first."

Liu Qingcao nodded, what happened today has disrupted many things, she has to make arrangements now, otherwise there will be a big mess later.

Liu Qingcao left Jiang Zhai, went to the shed area, and found Old Man Niu in a small room.

Seeing Liu Qingcao coming, Old Man Niu glanced at the letter on the table, and put it away without a trace.

"what's up?"

The old man Niu didn't turn back, he just turned his back on her and said lightly.

"Uncle Niu, can you go to the county to deliver the goods today? Brother Jiang and Brother Pan had an accident on the way back last night. I'm afraid we won't be able to go today."

Liu Qingcao's voice was clear and soft, discussing with him.

The old man Niu turned around, looked at the person in front of him, his eyes flickered deeply, and then he quickly closed them again.

"I'll be there in a moment."

Liu Qingcao noticed that the old man Niu was a little strange today, but it was not easy to ask further questions. After getting his reply, she set up a time with him, and hurriedly went to Jiang Li's house again.

Eleven or twelve strong men in the village followed Jiang Dayin to the county seat, and the rest stayed in the village. It was not difficult to find one or two strong men.

Liu Qingcao knocked on the door of Jiang Li's house and told him about it, and he readily agreed.

With the lessons learned from Jiang Dafu and Pan Yong, Liu Qingcao plans to find two more people to go to the county with them this time.

In the end, Liu Qingcao found Wu Zhi and Xie Guang, and a total of four people went to the county to deliver the goods.

After arranging the delivery, Liu Qingcao went to the private school again, greeted Luo Shiyuan, arranged a self-study course for the students, and hurried to the town in a bullock cart.

When Liu Qingcao arrived in the town, she first went to Jinxiu Cloth Shop to buy two sets of clothes, then went to Baozi Shop to buy a big basket of breakfast, and then went to Qianfeng Medical Hall to see Pan Yong and Jiang Dafu.

After the treatment and recuperation of Lingquan water, the two of them had already woken up, but the wounds on their bodies were still hurting, and they couldn't move easily, so they could only lie down and rest.

Liu Qingcao waited for the two of them to have breakfast before asking about what happened last night.

Sure enough, as she expected, people were targeting Qian Cai, but one thing she didn't expect was that those people were under Chen Cuizhi's father.

"Brother Jiang, those people, are you sure you broke their legs?"

Liu Qingcao looked at Jiang Dafu in surprise, she didn't expect him to look naive, but he was still a ruthless person.

"Both of us were seriously injured at the time. If they didn't come over and clean up before they came over, they probably wouldn't let us go easily."

Jiang Dafu didn't regret discounting the four people's legs at all. If he had time, he would have to send them to the government before he was willing.

Not only are these people looking for money, but they also want to kill people. It is simply not a pity to die.

"Yes, breaking the leg is the best."

Liu Qingcao nodded in response. In such a situation, the only way to get rid of it quickly is to break the human leg.

As for taking human life, she believed that Jiang Dafu couldn't do it.

"Brother Jiang, tell me about the location of those people. I'll go to Li Zheng and take these villains away."

"It's not far away. Walk along the town's fork road. There is a forest over there. The people are there. Their legs were broken and their eyes were injured. They must be still not far from that place."

"Okay, then you guys rest, I'm going to look for it."

……

It is not wise to find someone to do things empty-handed, Liu Qingcao took a plate of bread from the space, packed it briefly, put it in a basket, and carried it into the yamen.

As usual, Xia Gengcai sat in the hall and flipped through the books. Lizheng was getting old and lacked energy. He would only come out to preside over important events, and Xia Gengcai would take care of other things on his behalf.

"Little girl, do you still want to buy land this time?"

Xia Geng stepped forward with a smile, stroked his beard, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Liu Qingcao: ...

She is so like a hoarder?

"Master Xia, I'm not here to buy land this time, but to ask for your help."

"Oh? The little girl doesn't buy land anymore?" Xia Gengcai was a little disappointed, but the smile on his face didn't diminish at all, and he continued.

"Then what is it for this time?"

Liu Qingcao raised her head, met Xia Gengcai's gaze, and explained the matter concisely.

After hearing this, Xia Geng was furious, and directly slapped the table to scold him.

"This group of unruly people dares to murder the people of our town."

"Come on, go and arrest this group of people!"

"Yes, Master!"

The head of the yamen quickly arranged for people to follow Liu Qingcao to the grove Jiang Dafu mentioned.

The closer to the grove, the bloodstains on the ground became more obvious. At the place where the bloodstains were most conspicuous, Liu Qingcao noticed the servants Jiang Dafu mentioned at a glance.

"The chief of the yamen, it's them!"

Liu Qingcao pointed to the four pale-faced people huddled together in the haystack, and sounded a reminder.

"Come on, go up and tie them up, and bring the crime tools on the ground with you, and return them to Mr. Xia."

The head of the yamen servant looked at the four people on the ground with contempt, and ordered in a calm voice.

The yamen servant obeyed the order, quickly tied up several people, ignored their wailing and begging for mercy, and took them back to the town yamen.
