The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 194 Do you want to blackmail someone?

Two officers and soldiers stepped forward and were about to break down the door. Mrs. Ge and several old ladies came forward and blocked the door with their bodies.

Yang Hong narrowed his eyes: "Old ladies, if Yang doesn't want blood to be splashed three feet away, please get out of the way."

Several old ladies were unmoved: "You officers and soldiers, the Liao people don't dare to fight, but you are very good at bullying us ordinary people!"

Yang Hong stepped forward with his sword in hand, as if he was going to kill someone if he didn't get out of the way.

Seeing that it was about to happen, Huan Yuan slowly came over and pushed several officers and soldiers away: "Master, we can't be so rude. There is a key to open the door!"

Huan Yuan gave several old ladies a reassuring look, and they reluctantly moved away slowly.

Huan Yuan opened the courtyard door in full view of everyone.

Yang Hong took the lead and walked in, followed by the other officers and soldiers.

In the spacious room, a beautiful girl was weaving baskets. When she saw everyone arriving, she quickly got up and said, "Grandma, I'm not lazy today. Look, I've made two baskets!"

Jing Li smiled playfully and asked Mrs. Ge and the others for credit. Mrs. Ge patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to be angry and said: "Your uncles are busy working in the fields, but you are hiding in the house weaving baskets, for fear of exposing you! "

Mrs. Qin said softly: "We just make baskets. It's good. The fields have been short of baskets for the past two days. It's thanks to our pear's sense!"

Yang Hong kicked a few baskets with his feet. Although the room was large, except for farm tools, bamboo baskets and other items, there was no trace of weapons at all. Where did these people hide their things?

Searches were still going on in the courtyard, and a bunch of villagers were crowded at the entrance of the courtyard. It was almost noon, and no one went home to cook.

Third Aunt Wang gloated: "I said these people are banging and banging every day. There must be something wrong. Now it's better, the officers and soldiers are here!"

Her second brother and current brother Li Zheng glared at her: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"

The two villages are next to each other. If Beishui Village really finds out something happened, can Beishan Village, which is separated by a small slope, have nothing to do with it?

Wang Youcai's family was worried and looked inside nervously. She often went in and out of Jing's house, so she naturally knew that these people must have something, but she didn't know what it was.

But if the officers and soldiers are unreasonable, if you have a few more kitchen knives, they will find some crime for you. These days, if the people do not fight with the officials, then naturally it is not just talk.

Zhu's mother-in-law came over from a distance and asked Third Aunt Wang: "His Third Aunt, did you see me seeing that lazy guy?"

Since Zhu's man died and left behind three children, her mother-in-law had no choice but to take care of Zhu's children every day despite the displeasure of her other two daughters-in-law.

It was the busy time of farming, and after working for a long time, when I came home and saw the cold pots and stoves, and the children sitting on the kang, pooping and urinating, I couldn't vent the anger in my heart.

Third Aunt Wang stared at the courtyard with interest. When she heard someone calling her, she didn't even turn around and said, "You're going back to your parents' house! Why are you in such a hurry to find her?"

Mother-in-law Zhu held a child with a runny nose and scolded her: "She runs to her parents' house every day. Why doesn't she just live in her parents' house? You are such a lazy and prodigal woman!"

The courtyard was now searched, even the puppy holes dug by the children for playing house were not spared, but not a single weapon was found.

Except for a few old hunter's bows and arrows and machetes, Yang Hong found nothing.

"Close the team!" Yang Hong led his men to leave with a gloomy expression.

"Wait a minute!" Jingli Shiran stepped forward: "Master, I think you should check it carefully. What if there is anything you missed?"

Yang Hong stared at Jingli with his eyes: "Don't worry, girl, we've already checked it out and won't bother you again!"

After saying that, he was about to leave, but was blocked by Jingli: "You will check it when you say it, and you will check it after you say it!" "It doesn't matter if you check it, but our yard is in a mess, with vegetable seedlings, chickens and ducks." There were many casualties in Tsaidu. Sir, you don’t know that we are refugees who escaped from famine last year, right?”

Yang Hong said with a gloomy face: "What does the girl want?"

Mrs. Ge started crying as soon as she slapped her thigh: "Oh my God! What kind of world is this? Like bandits, they rush in and mess around, and then ask us what we want to do?"

"I can't live. I can't live these days. Pity us poor people. We don't have anything to ask for. The seedlings we worked so hard for are being ruined!" Mrs. Zhang cried and pointed at the sky and the earth. While crying and cursing, the voice was full of anger.

Fan Ershao and his two brothers carried Mrs. Fan in and said, "Master, my mother is old and her waist has been discounted. Master, please give me an explanation!"

Yang Hong's men immediately drew out their swords: "What are you doing? You unruly people want to rebel?"

Su Shi knelt on the ground with a pop: "Oh my god, no evidence has been found, so we are going to be accused of rebelling. We are all honest villagers, why are we rebelling? Carrying fire sticks to rebel?"

The heartbreaking cries of the old ladies were mixed with the ignorant crying of the children, the sighs of the men, and the sobs of the young wives and the older girls.

Yang Hong felt like his head was going to explode: "Shut up, everyone! Tell me, what do you want?"

Jing Li flinched, as if she was frightened by Yang Hong: "It's okay if you don't want to compensate. At worst, I'll go to my uncle for money!"

The little girl almost cried as she spoke. Yang Hong looked at it and thought, this is right!There is no girl who is not afraid of officers and soldiers.

Zhu Chengcai watched on the side and couldn't help shaking his body. He murmured in his heart that these people were dead. If this iron hen named Jing didn't skin them, he wouldn't be named Zhu.

Huan Yuan stepped forward and whispered to Yang Hong: "Sir, why don't you give her some money to comfort her? Have you heard about her uncle?"

"General Bai Changhe and Bai! Even His Highness the King of Wei has to show some respect, right?"

Yang Hong was shocked. He didn't know Bai Changhe. It was precisely because he knew Bai Changhe that he caught the people of Jingjia Village off guard. If the matter came to pass, he would also pull Bai Changhe down.

Unexpectedly, things would turn out like this. Yang Hong had a splitting headache and didn't know how to end it.

"Tell me, how are we going to solve this matter?" Yang Hong said to Jing Li with a sigh of relief.

Jing Li timidly called out to Wan Baoquan: "Brother Quan Zi, I'm not very good at settling accounts, why don't you do it for me!"

Wan Baoquan took out a small abacus and started dialing the numbers.

"Chickens and ducks cost five taels of silver each, garlic seedlings cost ten coins each, cucumber seedlings cost one tael of silver each, and pumpkin nests."

"Wait a minute!" Yang Hong stepped forward and interrupted Wan Baoquan: "Are you trying to blackmail someone?"

Wanbaoquan pressed the abacus bead in his hand and said seriously: "I know the price. It is normal for adults to think it is a bit expensive!"

"But we have to consider more than just these things. Sir, please think about it, I bought these things from other counties."

"For living animals such as chickens and ducks, transportation, labor, and the survival rate of the seedlings must be considered, as well as the future economic benefits of the effort. These all need to be calculated!"

"Of course, I'm doing this for business, so I didn't calculate the mental damage it caused to my family."

"Sir, we are good citizens who care about our officials!"
