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

Chapter 82 A good business
At dawn, people from the east end of the village discovered that five large sheds had been added overnight at the foot of Laobei Mountain.

They had just heard that these refugees had been arranged to come over. Uncle Wang told them that there was an official who stayed with them yesterday.

In the most luxurious blue brick house at the east end of the village, Wang Li was talking to his eldest son: "How many people are there?"

"It's not much, but it's exactly two hundred."

Wang Lizheng took a sip of tea: "That's a good number. How were they settled? Is there anyone in the village to take them in?"

The eldest son smiled and said: "You keep silent, who among them would dare!"

Wang Lizheng tapped his fingers on the table: "That's good. If anyone dares to come up to you, be careful because I'll scratch his skin."

When Wang Li was saying this, his gleaming little eyes were full of evil.

At the foot of Laobei Mountain, Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Ge were getting ready for dinner when they saw Jing Damei, who had been missing all morning, come back with an angry face.

Mrs. Ge glanced at her sideways: "What's going on? Are you so angry so early in the morning?"

Jing Damei was Mr. Jing's second daughter. Her husband's family was killed by the White Lotus Army. Fortunately, she and her two sons escaped quickly and managed to save their lives.

"Who are these people? I just want to ask about the situation in this place. Every one of them sees me as if they are seeing a god of plague, and they can't hide. It's true that the poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people. No wonder no one comes to this place."

Mr. Jing's eldest granddaughter, Xiangxiu, said timidly: "Auntie, from now on we will also be the troublesome people here."

The fat aunt burst out laughing, and several old ladies also laughed.

Jing Damei's face turned ugly: "Go and eat your food. Do you know how to speak?"

Li Xunyin drank the rice soup and thought to himself: "I don't know what these people are so happy about. How can they still be in the mood to laugh after drinking such rice soup so early in the morning that they can clearly reflect people's faces?"

Jing Li discussed with Mr. Jing and the others in the tent: "Master, you go back and cut down the trees and continue to build the tent. It doesn't need to be too much, it's just enough to live in. I'll send that one away first, and then we'll talk about building a house when I get back."

Mr. Jing knocked on the pipe and pot: "You go and deal with the matter over there first. I'm here. Don't be in a hurry. Let's deal with the matter over there first."

Uncle Tiesheng said in a deep voice: "I think the people in this village are not good, so don't worry about finding someone to settle down in Lizheng. Anyway, the county has already filed it. Let's wait until Ali comes back in the afternoon."

Jingli nodded and walked out of the tent to Li Xunyin and said, "Master Li, let's go, we will take you back."

Li Xunyin put down the bowl and was so happy that he almost burst into tears. Emma could finally leave.

Jing Li took three guards and left on horseback with Li Xunyin while it was still dark.

In the inn, Wan Baoquan was bragging to someone: "I told my brothers that this is the only business our family does, and there are people covering it. Do you think he can do well in this business?"

"The only bad thing is that I have to stay here every day, and I can't even see my new wife, alas!"

Several big men who were drinking looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said: "Are there only a few busy people in the store? Don't your masters send anyone over to help?"

Wan Baoquan sighed again: "Of course we are too busy. A few of them have gone home to harvest in the autumn. It is estimated that the ones today and tomorrow will be back."

"Forget about the host's house. We have to send the money over there. Others don't bring it here because they think this place is dirty."

Wan Baoquan whispered to the man, and the man echoed: "They are all wealthy people, don't you want your brother to suffer?"

While they were talking here, Jing Dafu shouted again: "Shopkeeper, have you paid the 50 taels for the pork a few days ago? Mr. Zhu called here this morning and asked me if I wanted to come." Wan Baoquan let out a sigh: "Don't care what he does. Our master is one of the most respected people in Chang'an City. He will be short of his three melons and two dates."

The eyes of those big men suddenly flashed, and then they stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, let's go now. I'll come over to you for a drink next time."

Wan Baoquan bowed and apologized with a smile: "Okay, you gentlemen, walk slowly. You will have to take care of your brothers' business when you pass by here in the future!"

After seeing several people go out and mount their horses, Wanbao Quan returned to the inn.

Jing Dafu and Shen Huwei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Leaving?"

"Let's go!" Wan Baoquan asked Guard Shen again: "Brother Shen, are you really right? These people are all bandits?"

Shen Huwei clenched his fists: "You can't be wrong. I have been traveling in the world for more than ten years, and I know what kind of people they are. These are not only bandits, but also desperadoes who have carried many lives."

Jing Dafu and Wanbao were both shocked. Just as they were about to speak, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the door. Is this the bandit back?

Wan Baoquan had just put on his formulaic smile when he saw Jing Li bringing Li Xunyin in: "What are you doing? Did you know I was coming?"

Chef Fan came out with the dishes: "Ah Li is here, let's eat first. Your grandpa and I cooked it. Don't be afraid. Eat with confidence."

Wan Baoquan and the others saw Li Xunyin swallowing his words: "Eat, eat first."

"Master Li, you should eat too!"

Li Xunyin was no longer polite. He drank half a bowl of rice soup in the morning and rode horseback for more than two hours. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

After dinner, Wan Baoquan called Jing Li to the backyard and told Guard Shen about the situation of the bandits just now.

Jing Li was a little surprised, but then she became happy and nodded approvingly towards Wan Baoquan: "Brother Quan Zi does everything carefully, so we don't have to worry about arranging it ourselves."

After noon, Jingli and his party loaded the rice, flour, grain and oil in the store into a large cart, and then rode away all the horses of several government servants and Li Xunyin.

The shopkeeper in the inn and Li Xunyin looked at each other in confusion. This group of people had simply gone too far for being raped by bandits. This was basically a house raid.

The shopkeeper said harshly: "Don't worry, sir. Tomorrow is the day to deliver food. Then you can go back by car. I also want to go to the city to see the master. Hum, I want to see these human bones." How hard it is.”

Several government officials were so frightened the day before that they wanted to go back even if they were walking.

Li Xunyin's face was extremely gloomy: "Walk? How long? Aren't you afraid of meeting unruly people on the road again?"

The shopkeeper reassured the government servants: "Don't worry, just stay here for one night before leaving."

Then he ordered the cook: "Go and see what else is there? Let's get some food and wine for the adults first."

Several people in the inn were in no mood, but they couldn't leave now, so they could only wait. When the waiter brought the food and wine to the table, they drank in silence without saying anything.

The night slowly grew dark, shrouding the entire inn.

Several people were drinking wine gloomily. Li Xunyin was drunk and just about to get up and go to bed when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the door.

The people in the inn looked at the door in horror. Has the female devil returned again?
