Chapter 214 Hand it over!
Liu Qingcao moved the potatoes to the house, and without daring to waste time, returned to Shihe Village to prepare for the next trip.

There were so many people during the day that Liu Qingcao didn't dare to put the potatoes directly into the space, so he could only pull them one by one, until the villagers' memories were repeatedly confused, and then he took advantage of the opportunity.

Liu Qingcao was driving the bullock cart, humming a tune in a great mood. When she arrived at the entrance of the village, from a distance, she saw a group of dark villagers, looking at the carriage in front of them with anger and daring to speak.

Liu Qingcao looked at the carriage from behind and thought it looked familiar. After thinking for a while, she remembered where she had seen it before.

Isn't that the carriage we met on the way to Qianfeng Town?
Why are you appearing in Shihe Village now! ?
Is it possible...

Liu Qingcao didn't dare to think too much and drove the bullock cart to the villagers.

These villagers are all honest people who have not seen much of the world. If they meet him, they can only wait and compromise.

"Brother Jiang." Liu Qingcao parked the oxcart and walked over in anticipation of Jiang Dafu and the other villagers.

"Green grass." Jiang Dafu pursed his lips, his voice a little weaker than usual.

"Isn't it almost noon? Why don't you all go back?" Liu Qingcao asked knowingly and glanced in the direction of the carriage.

The people inside still didn't get out, but several of his followers stood outside the carriage, holding sabers in their hands and glaring fiercely at the people in front of them, much like the "watchdog".

Jiang Dafu's eyes dodge for a moment, but when he looked at Liu Qingcao, he shrank for some reason and disappeared for the most part.

"Qingcao, they are coming." Jiang Dafu carefully moved to Liu Qingcao and whispered.

Liu Qingcao nodded, with no expression on his face.

When he met this carriage on the road, he didn't think much about it, but the man came a few days earlier than he expected.

Now that the person has arrived, there is no time to move the remaining potatoes. If he finds out, he will definitely take the potatoes away.

However, this loss is not small!
"What did they say?" Liu Qingcao wanted to know whether he planned to buy it with money, or whether he wanted to suppress and then occupy the village's potatoes.

"The steward next to the carriage asked us to hand over the potatoes." Jiang Dafu's voice was very low, but it did not prevent him from gritting his teeth.

After hearing this, Liu Qingcao's face suddenly sank.

Hand it over! ?

The meaning behind these words could not be more obvious.

Dog officer!

It's exactly as the letter said.

"Where are Brother Tian and the others, have they already set off?" Liu Qingcao glanced at the side with his peripheral vision and asked calmly.

Jiang Dafu nodded, "We have already set off as you said yesterday. We should have arrived there by now."

Jiang Dafu counted the time and breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was afraid that the potatoes nearby would not be saved.

"Then you ask the villagers to bring all the potatoes on the outside." Liu Qingcao looked in the direction of the carriage curtain, with a faint smile on his lips.

Jiang Dafu did not hesitate and immediately arranged for people to start preparations.

He understood that as long as they didn't do what he said, the people in the carriage would not let them go easily.

About half an hour later, villagers came to the carriage one after another carrying loads of yellow and orange potatoes.

Every villager had a look of reluctance on their face, but the official power was beyond what ordinary people could resist. Their resentment arose from their hearts, but stopped at their lips and teeth.

"Master, all the potatoes in the field are here, and I don't dare to leave any bean seeds." Jiang Dafu looked at the basket beside him and spoke with a bitter throat.

The steward glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction. Then he picked a slightly clean potato and reported it respectfully to the person in the carriage.

"Sir, I have lived for forty years and I have never seen this thing before."

"You've never seen it?" The man's voice was lazy, but he could still hear a hint of joy in it.

"Yes, sir, do you want to take a look?" The steward looked at the curtain as if he was taking credit, the folds on his face bunched together because of his excitement.

If this was a good thing, it would not only allow the master to be promoted to a higher position, but also allow him to get a large sum of money. Wouldn't it be wonderful? "Bring it in."

"Yes, sir."

The steward presented the potatoes through the curtain. The woman took the case and put it on the table, looking at the round potatoes with a little surprise.

"Master, this thing looks pleasant." Xue Ji disliked the dirt on it, so instead of taking it directly with her hands, she took out a snow-white handkerchief, wrapped it, wiped it clean and handed it over.

There was still a little bit of mud left on the potatoes, and the man took it from Xue Ji's hand without any hesitation, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After a long while, the corners of his cold lips tilted upward, revealing an arc that overlapped the corners of his eyes.

"Let everyone take them away." The man's voice sounded, not as calm as before.

Xue Ji heard this in her heart, her eyes flashed, and then she looked at the potato, thinking deep in her heart.

After receiving the order, the steward immediately winked at the guards on the side. After receiving the instructions, the guards drew the swords from their waists and surrounded Jiang Dafu.

Most of the villagers were frightened by their actions and stood there blankly. Jiang Dafu was furious, but he did not dare to act rashly.

"..." Liu Qingcao glanced at these people, a hint of anger flashed deep in his eyes, but his face looked calm.

Jiang Dafu turned his head and glanced at Liu Qingcao. Seeing that there was no panic in her eyes, his heart also calmed down.

Just pull him away, it's better than getting injured and dying.

But, they had all taken out their things, what were these people doing around them?

Could it be possible that he wanted to kill people and silence them?
When Jiang Dafu thought of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his face turned pale.

He had just convinced himself, but now he was a little scared again.

Just when Jiang Dafu was thinking wildly and scared himself half to death, the steward looked fierce and said.

"Bring your things and follow." The steward's voice was loud and there was no doubt in his words.

When Jiang Dafu heard this, he took a long breath, but still did not dare to relax.

After all, there are good and bad officials, and there is no need to say much about good officials. Bad officials can bully, humiliate, or kill you with just one sentence.

There is an old saying, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and being an official depends on your conscience.

As a commoner, Jiang Dafu naturally did not dare to fight with officials.

No matter how smart Liu Qingcao was, she could not resist the power of the officialdom. At this moment, Jiang Dafu had a lot on his mind.

Liu Qingcao had just driven the bullock cart over, and the steward naturally didn't let her go. He glanced at her lightly, just a glance, and Liu Qingcao also noticed the greed in his eyes.

He really is like a dog to his master.

"Go and catch up with the ox cart." The steward paused and then said, "Fill the ox cart with potatoes." The steward pointed at one of the tall guards and ordered.

"Yes, steward Wang."

Jiang Dafu frowned and watched the guard walk behind Liu Qingcao.

This cow is very strong and much larger than ordinary cows, so it naturally attracted the attention of these people.

Liu Qingcao put his hands behind his back, held the rope tightly, and pulled it forward. Newton raised his head and looked at Liu Qingcao.

The guard didn't see Liu Qingcao's little movement and walked straight towards the bullock cart.

"Ah~~"

A shrill scream rang in his ears, followed by a burst of dust that spread toward the outside of the village.

Everyone looked at the black shadow in the distance in surprise, and Liu Qingcao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
