The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chen Yiqing looked at Li Mingren from the side, frowning slightly, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew up, making people shiver.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight. I will invite you to drink when I get back." Li Mingren suddenly said loudly, and everyone echoed loudly as if they had already had a drink.

"Okay, those who should be on duty should be on duty, and those who should rest should rest."

Chen Yiqing: "My lord, do you want to call everyone here and question them all?"

Li Mingren shook his head: "No need, if there is really an anomaly in the village, it would have disappeared without a trace when we came to save people, and the place where we rescued people is not far from the place where the weapons are hidden, and if there is any movement, it will not be our turn." It's time for us to find those weapons. You should read those letters first and see if you can find some clues."

Chen Yiqing: "Yes, my lord."

Chen Yiqing sat down on the spot, took out the bundles in his arms, and spread them out to read one by one.At this moment, Li Mingren only felt his feet were cold, and kept pacing back and forth beside Chen Yiqing.After all, it's someone else's ancestral hall, Li Mingren couldn't light a fire in it privately, so he could only hold back his coldness.

When the village chief came back with the two guards, there were a few more people behind him, each holding a basin in their hands, and the two guards also carried firewood on their backs.

"My lord, I asked everyone to bring a few braziers over to keep warm." Luo Damu said while starting to light the fire in the braziers.

Li Mingren: "Then trouble the village chief."

"Oh, it's all right, my lord."

The two guards reported to Li Mingren the result of going to the village to count the number of people. Everyone in the village was there, and no one left home.

Li Mingren nodded: "Okay, everyone should watch more at night to avoid other noises."

Luo Damu had already set up several braziers, and suddenly he was overwhelmed by the fire in this brazier, and thought of an incident a few months ago.

"My lord, I have something to report." Luo Damu came forward and said.

Li Mingren: "What's the matter?"

"A few months ago, when I took everyone up the mountain to hunt, a group of wild boars rushed out and dispersed the hunting team. I was chased by the wild boars all the way to the north, which is the area where the adults sent people to inspect. There was movement in the woods, like hurried footsteps. When I tried to follow up to find out, the sound disappeared. Later, it was because the wild boar moved too much, and I was not followed by other people at that time , For the sake of safety, I quietly backed out."

"What month was that?"

Luo Damu said: "Late spring, early May. We don't go hunting there on weekdays. One is because the forest is deep there, the road is difficult to walk, and there are few prey. Walking along the forest is not easy. You can reach Motong County in one day, which is closer than us going to the county."

Li Mingren: "Where does it lead to Motong County?"

Luo Damu: "Yes, my lord."

Li Mingren: "Do you have any other discoveries?"

Luo Damuzai went through his mind carefully again, and then shook it like a rattle: "My lord, there is really nothing else to discover."

Li Mingren couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Damu's serious appearance, "Okay, let's go back first. If other people in the village know other news, they can report it. Once the news is useful to us, and the news will contribute to the follow-up of the incident." , I will reward you for meritorious deeds, maybe a year of corvee relief."

Chen Yiqing and Luo Damu shouted at the same time: "My lord!"

It's just that the former looked shocked, while the latter looked surprised.

Li Mingren waved his hand to Chen Yiqing, looked at Luo Damu with a smile on his face, and continued: "Of course, if someone fabricates false news for this quota of exemption from corvee, then you can think about the consequences, Village Chief Luo, and he will be punished by then." Can I afford to be charged with lying and spreading rumors?"

Luo Damu was happy for a while and wanted to ask whether the news he provided just now counted, but when he heard these words, he immediately turned bitter, and only Nuo Nuo responded: "Yes, my lord. I will definitely not make false reports, nor will I It will make everyone suppress the news!"

Li Mingren nodded and waved his hand to let Luo Damu go back.

"Well, what did you find?" Li Mingren asked Chen Yiqing.

Chen Yiqing nodded and said, "I seem to have seen this handwriting, but I forgot who it was. I think I saw it in the letter from the county government."

Li Mingren: "Then go back and look through it tomorrow."

Chen Yiqing: "Then how to arrange it here?"

"Leave a pair of people here to stare."

Chen Yiqing nodded understandingly, Li Mingren was sitting next to the brazier, everyone couldn't sleep tonight.

It was dawn, and it didn't snow last night, it was just bone-chillingly cold, and the brazier couldn't stand the cold.

Li Mingren led the team to go back to the county government office, Zhao Yuncheng naturally followed, and the remaining brothers who were watching were sent to the farmer's house like the two doctors. Everyone had already taken off their official uniforms and changed into villagers' clothes to observe secretly.

The team came back before the city gate was closed, so Li Mingren asked everyone to go home and rest first. After spending two days outside, they didn't sleep well or eat well.Zhao Yuncheng followed Li Mingren back to the county yamen courtyard.

Li Mingren came in and saw Wang Shi and asked, "Mother, where is Yunlan?"

Rui Wen whispered beside him: "Father, can't you see me?"

Li Mingren smiled and looked at Rui Wen: "Oh, dad is so big, come and hug him, tell me where your mother is?"

Ruiwen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but his father cared about his mother so he could only say: "Mother is in the yard, she said she was tired from sitting and she wanted to go for a walk, I'm here to get the cloak for mother."

"Ruiwen is becoming more and more sensible now, you take the cloak and we will go find your mother."

Looking at Li Mingren's slovenly appearance, Wang couldn't help but feel disgusted, and said, "Why don't you change your clothes first."

Only then did Li Mingren remember that he didn't wash up, it would be bad if Yunlan was contaminated by some dirty things on his body.

"Wow, Dad, you hugged me without even changing your clothes. I said, why do you get tired of touching me?"

Li Mingren smiled: "Then Ruiwen will go change and wash with Dad, and please ask Mother to give Yunlan a cloak."

Ruiwen was a little angry, angry that his father would disrupt the time he spent with his mother when he came back, so he followed Li Mingren and left.

Wang shook her head helplessly, and took the cloak and went to the garden.

"Mother, it sounds like Ming Ren is back?" Zhao Yunlan happened to meet Wang Shi who was delivering the cloak along the way.

Wang: "Yeah, let's put it on. He went to wash up and come here for a while."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, let Mrs. Wang accompany her for a while, and then went back to the main courtyard to prepare He Hua for dinner.

Li Mingren and his son rushed to the garden after washing up. Chunxiang, who happened to pass by, wanted to call them back, but it was too late.

The hot pot cooked tonight, Zhao Yunlan ate very well, listening to Ruiwen speak ill of her father while eating, it was a real pleasure after the meal.

After the meal, the family gathered in the main room, and Li Mingli reported the situation of going to see the land today. Originally, because of the snow and she was pregnant, Zhao Yunlan only put aside the matter of buying the land, but now Li Mingli came to see the land. In Yang County, one more helper can naturally get things going.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to start the school first, and then buy the land around the school together, which would be convenient for Li Mingren to build roads and attract capital later.Not only land for schools, but also some fields to grow some food.

"Mingli, we can also look at Zhuangzi for the land we use for planting. If there is a suitable one, we can take it, so that our own Zhuangzi can take care of it."

Li Mingli nodded: "Understood, sister-in-law."

Li Mingren had been listening to the third child and Yunlan talking all night, and he didn't interrupt himself. Now he finally found an opportunity and said, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone, let's rest early!" Li Mingren Mingren wanted to go back to his room early and have a private conversation with Zhao Yunlan.

Knowing her son's intentions, Mrs. Wang echoed, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Ruiwen interjected at this moment: "I want my mother to tell me a bedtime story."

Li Mingren wanted to hit the child, but he didn't dare to do it, he just said: "You are old enough to listen to stories."

Zhao Yunlan glared at Li Mingren, turned her head and said softly to Ruiwen: "Okay, mother will tell Ruiwen a story, and daddy will go and tell Ruiwen a story together."

Zhao Yunlan suddenly realized that because she was pregnant, Ruiwen still had some small changes, and became very clingy.
