Chapter 86 Rewards
"Now," Jiang Yongsheng slowly shook his head and said intermittently: "Don't go yet."

"Wait until the yamen servant leaves before going."

"Dad!" Jiang Minghui stared at his father in disbelief, unable to believe that this was something he couldn't say: "What's the use of having the government servants gone?"

"Why are you panicking?" Jiang Yongsheng frowned displeased, and his voice was hoarse due to the smoke: "What can you do now?"

"You can stop the government officials from arresting people, and can you still be arrested for your elder brother?"

"I..." Jiang Minghui was speechless.

"We'll go back later after the government officials leave." Jiang Yongsheng held up the cigarette pot and put it into his mouth. The cigarette holder trembled several times and passed by his lips.

"Go and pick up your nieces and nephews then."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Liu dragged Jiang Minghui back to her house. She planned to guard him all day long and not let him escape.

The two younger ones followed their parents out of the house, leaving Jiang Yongsheng and Yang alone in the room.

Mrs. Yang returned to her usual place on the kang and took the sewing frame she had just thrown aside.

Although his hands were busy, his eyes would occasionally drift to Jiang Yongsheng, who was smoking cigarettes.

This old man, Yang curled his lips, but this time it was rare that his head was clear.

Jiang Yongsheng was already upset, and he felt even more uncomfortable when Yang saw him like this. He simply turned his back and faced the wall alone.

The usually sweet hookah smelled bitter in his mouth today. Jiang Yongsheng held his breath, feeling that he was filled with bitterness but could not express it.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, so he could only choose to keep the side with more flesh.

Jiang Mingshun was pulled by someone as soon as he got off the boat. As soon as he took one foot out, a pair of hands stretched out from beside him and pulled him to stagger.

The person who came was Jiang Mingrong, and he was refusing to let him go with an anxious look on his face: "Brother Mingshun, don't go back yet."

Jiang Mingshun saw the person clearly and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Seeing his nervous expression, my heart skipped a beat: "Something happened at home?"

"But want to borrow a boat?"

"Where is it me?" Jiang Mingrong looked around and said in a low voice, "It's your house. Two government servants have come to your house!"

Jiang Mingshun stopped in surprise: "Yamen servants? Come to my house? What are they doing?"

"I heard, I heard," Jiang Mingrong hesitated: "I heard they are here to arrest you..."

"Catch me?" Jiang Mingshun opened his eyes in shock: "What happened to me? Why do you want to arrest me?"

Jiang Mingrong shook his head: "I also heard what others said."

Seeing Jiang Mingshun raising his feet to leave, he quickly stepped forward to block him: "Brother Mingshun, why don't you find a place to hide first?"

"Before they know you're back."

Jiang Mingshun pushed away Jiang Mingrong who was in front of him, and ran home at a faster speed, leaving only one sentence: "No, your sister-in-law and nieces and nephews are still at home."

"Alas!" Jiang Mingrong gritted his teeth, looked at his back and chased after him.

Although Jiang Mingshun didn't think he had done anything wrong, it was the first time he heard that a government official had come to his home, and he was beating a drum in his heart all the way.

In addition, he had run a long distance, and by the time he arrived in front of his own yard, he was so exhausted that he was out of breath.

"Huh..." He braced his knees and bent over to catch his breath, and raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone... Huh... Huh, give way... Huh... let me in!"

The people surrounding the outermost circle turned around when they heard the sound, and when they saw it was Jiang Mingshun, they immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Step aside!"

"Jiang Mingshun is back!"

The originally quiet crowd suddenly became noisy as if it was exploding.

"Mingshun, there is a government official at your house, hurry in!" "Yes, it's been a while, you should move faster!"

"Don't let anyone blame you!"

Jiang Mingshun turned a deaf ear and squeezed in through the gap left by the crowd, leaving only a group of people behind who were still talking.

Someone said: "Let me just say he didn't run away. Isn't he back?"

"Who said just now that Jiang Mingshun ran away because he was afraid of being caught? Isn't he immoral?"

Someone curled their lips and said, "He must not have known that a government official was coming, otherwise he would have run away early."

The man from before was not happy: "What are you talking about? You think everyone is like your Zhao family, they are all cowards!"

As soon as these words came out, the other Zhao family members were not happy either: "How are you, the Jiang family? You are so good that we even recruited the government servants to your family!"

"That's better than your Zhao family..."

Suddenly, there was a huge commotion outside.

……

"The yamen are out!" Someone shouted in the noise.

The people who were still arguing immediately shut up. Everyone turned their heads and their eyes fell on the few people who came out of the door.

The scene before him was obviously different from the psychological expectations of most people present.

I saw two government officials walking in the middle, followed by Jiang Mingshun and Village Chief Li on the left and right.

The most shocking thing was that all four of them had smiles on their faces.

Jiang Mingshun and Village Chief Li were so happy that their teeth were showing. The two government officials were not bossy like they usually were when the villagers saw him. Instead, they were talking to Jiang Mingshun with a gentle smile.

Watching Village Chief Li and Jiang Mingshun leave with the yamen servants, the crowd surrounding the door looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After a long time, Jiang Mingrong, who had seen the whole process, crossed his arms and sneered: "There are some people who haven't seen the excitement, so they should leave, right?"

Some people left quietly from behind, and some people couldn't help but said harshly: "Who knows if I can come back after I send you away this time?"

He also knew that what he said was unreasonable, so he left in a hurry after saying that.

As soon as this person left, others followed him one after another.

"Okay, it's okay, let's all leave!" Jiang Mingrong waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Most people came down the mountain because they really wanted to go home after watching the excitement, but there were also a small number of people who didn't know what they had in mind and actually stayed on the roadside together.

This is the only way back to the village from the river.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see the village chief.

"Village chief, those two government servants and Jiang Mingshun?"

Village Chief Li looked at a few people with a half-smile but said, "Why, you also want to chat with the Yamen servants?"

Zhao Sanlin, who was the first to speak, touched his nose and said jokingly: "Where is it! Don't I care about Jiang Mingshun?"

"What he did today really scared us!"

Several others echoed: "Yes!"

"We have been worried together all day."

"Fortunately, our village was not affected!"

Several people followed Village Chief Li noisily, trying every possible means to get some gossip.

While they were scratching their heads and scratching their heads anxiously, the village chief just walked forward like an old man, answering a few words from time to time, but he just couldn't get to the point.

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of his house that Village Chief Li said seriously: "The yamen servant is here to give Jiang Mingshun a reward!"
