Mrs. Xu was waiting anxiously at home, while the three daughters-in-law didn't know what was going on. They just looked at their mother-in-law, feeling a little uneasy, and all of them were worried.
This kind of waiting time always passes very slowly.
For the first time, Mrs. Xu felt that her days were like years.
…
Fubao didn't know how long he had slept. He was hazy and his consciousness was vague. He just felt a little uncomfortable and depressed.
However, she still couldn't wake up.
The feeling of the outside world is hazy and ethereal.
"Did you have another nightmare?"
Fu Bao wanted to move, but he felt as if he was being suppressed and couldn't move at all.
"Don't have nightmares, have sweet dreams!"
"Weave a sweet dream for yourself!"
With this in mind, Fu Bao slowly fell asleep again.
…
In the courtyard of Old Xu's house, Old Mrs. Xu finally waited for Mr. Xu and his two sons. They were also accompanied by the county magistrate and government officials, as well as the town army soldiers in charge of city defense.
The county magistrate Zuoqiu is a good official who fulfills his duties. After seeing Mr. Xu and the jewelry in the sandalwood box, he immediately summoned the officials in the county. At the same time, he also summoned Deng Jian from the city defense army. Come.
Then, the large team of people rushed to Lingshui Village as quickly as possible.
After Mr. Xu gave Mrs. Xu a reassurance, he took the county magistrate and others to the back mountain of Lingshui Village.
"Surround it up!"
Zuoqiu and Dengjian gave orders at the same time.
The government officials and soldiers of the town army immediately surrounded the entire back mountain concave area.
Considering that it was getting late, Zuoqiu and Dengjian did not launch a search immediately, but simply surrounded the scene and waited for dawn.
In fact, before Zuoqiu and Dengjian led their people over, they both sent people to deliver news to Fucheng and the capital.
If they can really find the tribute gifts that were stolen twenty years ago, it will be a great achievement for both of them, and their promotion will be just around the corner.
Although the tributes and gifts are extremely valuable, they are nothing compared to their prosperous official career.
The question of how to make a choice is that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu don't have much knowledge, so they worry that they will kill themselves for money.
…
The county officers and soldiers suddenly appeared in Lingshui Village, but the mayor and the people of Lingshui Village were so frightened that they thought there was some big case.
Guan Laoqi, the leader of the village, asked to see the county magistrate Zuoqiu in great anxiety. After knowing that the matter had nothing to do with their Lingshui Village, Guan Laoqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Guan Laoqi gathered the villagers and everyone worked together to prepare dinner for the group of people from the county.
County magistrate Zuo Qiu naturally appreciated Guan Laoqi's cleverness.
However, appreciation is appreciation. Zuoqiu will not open any convenient door for Guan Laoqi. He just wants to take care of him a little when something happens on weekdays.
What worries Zuoqiu the most is the old Xu family!
Even Zuoqiu and Dengjian had dinner at Lao Xu's house.
The villagers were really jealous when they saw that the old Xu family had the opportunity to entertain thousands of households including the county magistrate and the town army.
Don’t think it’s just a matter of having a meal, but that’s the card!
"This is really great for the old Xu family. They are trying to become a noble!"
"is not that right?"
“It’s different when there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves!”
"Why doesn't our ancestral grave emit smoke?"
"Why don't you go burn more paper money for your ancestors?"
"You can have this!"
The villagers in Lingshui Village are envious of the old Xu family's fortune, but they are rarely jealous. After all, if the old Xu family really becomes prosperous, the folks in the countryside will also be able to take some advantage in the future. (End of chapter)
