Chapter 665: Eradicate the Roots!

ed out, “Auntie, don’t walk too far! Be careful of snakes!”"Okay, I understand." The old woman replied, and the woman didn't bother her any further. She had to hurry and pick mushrooms in time to make..."Mr. Li, several young masters, we have just raided the den of these scoundrels, thankfully unharmed. We captured three more accomplices, and there was an unexpected gain!These scoundrels are on the run, not only deceiving people but also selling children... 。We just found two children in the cellar, who were reported missing to the authorities yesterday by their families. 。Now, we're really cracking the case together. 。Perhaps these two children are not ordinary, Wang the head catcher's smile almost reached his ears. 。Li Zhensheng was also delighted to hear this. This way, the yamen would benefit, and it would be easier to manage. 。He quickly got up, bowed in return, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Captain Wang! This is a great achievement. A promotion and raise are just around the corner." 。"Congratulations, congratulations" 。"Wang the Headhunter was very polite, 'It's all thanks to the blessings of you young masters, these bandits have some skills'" 。"If it weren't for the young masters solving the four most difficult puzzles, we would have really had a hard time catching their tracks." 。Li Zhensheng asked him to sit down and have some tea. He listened to his account of the entire capture process, feeling that nothing was left out. Then he asked, "These few thieves have been taken to the county jail. I wonder what punishment they will receive"Wang, the head catcher, was eager to make friends and besides, this wasn't a secret. He said, "According to the Heavenly Martial Law, the minimum sentence is twenty years of hard labor" 。One more look. If there are other cases, perhaps it will still be a death sentence. 。“The Heavenly Martial Law is still too merciful,” Li Zhensheng’s eyes flashed as he smiled, “Such a vicious criminal only needs to serve hard labor If I were in charge, only beheading would truly put the people’s minds at ease and allow them to live and work in peace.” 。Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep at night, and the children won't dare to go out and play freely. 。" Wang, the head catcher, understood and immediately replied, "The county magistrate is right. This matter hasn't been decided yet and we have to wait for the county magistrate to question everyone. Who knows what the outcome will be" 。“ This time, our passing by has caused you some trouble. ” 。If there is an opportunity, one should really visit the esteemed County Magistrate and express gratitude in person. 。"No need to be so polite, sir. There will definitely be an opportunity." 。"Wang the Captain smiled and bowed again." 。Jia Ren and the others have been standing quietly by, listening intently. 。

Ma Ge was young, couldn't hold his temper, and blurted out, "Father, our arrows were taken away. They were made by my little sister!"

Li Zhensheng glared at his son and then said to Wang the Head Constable, “Wang the Head Constable, please forgive him, he’s just a child and doesn't understand..."

But, no wonder the child is reluctant to part with these arrows. 。When they left home, my young niece, the county lord, was worried about her brothers' safety while away. She specially sought out some fine iron and entrusted the craftsmen of the Xinting Marquis's mansion to forge these arrowheads. It is truly remarkable. 。 "If the yamen's investigation is over, can these arrows be returned" Wang, the head catcher, was taken aback and quickly replied, "Oh my, so those few arrows are so valuable, they were actually prepared by the county princess for her brothers! Rest assured, sir, I will have someone deliver them back right away when I return." 。"Thank you, Captain Wang!" Meowger bowed in gratitude, which made Captain Wang very happy. 。After a few more words, Wang the head catcher had to leave. 。Li Zhensheng sent him to the door, needless to say, he discreetly slipped a silver note. 。After everyone finished breakfast, they rested for a while when someone from the yamen arrived politely and invited Li Zhensheng to come. 。Li Zhensheng brought his family member, Jia Ren, and prepared a generous gift to visit the county magistrate. He also took this opportunity to recount what had happened last night. 。The county magistrate's family is also in Xindu. He has heard some about the Li family's affairs. 。There isn't much else I'm familiar with, but next year's corn and potatoes are about to be planted, they were brought from the foreigners by Li's family. He always knows these things, you see. 。Then there is Li family's backer, the Marquis of Xinting, who is now even more like a protector deity for the entire Tianwu. 。Even if he were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to the Li family. 。Thus, both parties talked happily and drank two cups of tea. Last night's affair was over. 。On the way back, Li Zhensheng came to the inn again and gave the shopkeeper some silver. 。The shopkeeper originally wanted to sell the business and go back home to farm because business wasn't good. 。After going through this, I was even more frightened. I'm already packing to leave the inn. 。Having received this silver, it was an unexpected gain. Not only did it dispel any complaints I had, but I also felt very grateful. 。These matters were busy and bustling, so the fleet had to stay at the dock for another day. 。On the passenger ship, gentlemen heard a few words and then forbade the students from disembarking. 。The students thought that the Li family was delayed because of unloading or something like that, so they didn't complain at all. 。The next morning, the fleet finally set sail. 。Lu Cong and Jia Xu were called over by the gentlemen and had a few words with them. 。When they came out, the servant by Lu's side whispered to his master, "Master, those swindlers who were in prison yesterday committed suicide out of fear, not a single one survived." 。"

Lu Zong was stunned for a moment, waved his hand, and motioned for the servant to step back. " 。Jia Xu reacted a moment too late. When he came to, he exclaimed, "This... is cutting the grass and rooting it out!"Lu Zhong tugged him slightly and glanced at the several cargo ships ahead. He whispered, "They deserve this! If I were in his shoes, I would do the same..." 。Jia Xu took a deep breath and also replied, "Yes, he deserved it." 。You know, I just thought Mr. Li seemed mild-mannered, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. 。" Upon closer thought, how could the Li family have risen from a humble farming household to their current position without some skill and cunning "Just consider their brothers; none of them are simple. And then there's... Princess Kangle, who at such a young age already demonstrates remarkable insight..." 。Previously, I wrote back a letter and told my father the method of rescue. My father also taught it to the family doctor and the military physician in camp. 。It so happened that someone was eating dates and got choked, thus being saved. 。This method is truly magical, unheard of. 。The Lee family doesn't ask for any return, they directly made it public. This kind of magnanimity is something ordinary people can hardly achieve. 。" He thought about it for a moment and added, "I have a feeling that coming to Quanzhou with the Li family, might be more rewarding than following the academy. " 。"You want to..." Jia Xu guessed his thoughts and felt some resistance. The danger from last night was still fresh in his memory. 。Lu Zong smiled, "Yes, it's exactly as you think." 。However, I need to prepare a generous gift. Firstly, to apologize for what happened before, and secondly, to make the Li family consider our proposal. This way, we can train alongside the Li brothers. 。Jia Xu sighed in his heart, he couldn't persuade him, he could only die with the gentleman...Don't talk about the fleet here, all the way to Quanzhou, the Li family boys stumbled and bumped along the way. They struggled and fought their way through this world, becoming more and more resilient. 。Only in the Ruijin Beach, the winter weather became colder and colder due to several heavy snowfalls. All the animals that could hibernate had started hibernating honestly. 。Of course, Ercun's noodle shop is still as lively as ever. 。Because the weather is cold, the meat sauce noodles won't spoil easily and production can be increased. 。So, over here in Xinchun Village, the villagers who have nothing to do sometimes go to the workshops to help out when they are busy. 。Of course, most of them are women. 。Men have to join the patrol team, to maintain the fruit trees on the mountain over winter, to often clean out the cellar, to make sure those "pork belly" running all over the pigsty are well-fed and rested, and they also need to use a cleaver to cut corn stalks, to feed the cattle and horses... In short, hardworking farmers can always find work at every moment. 。ting, the beloved daughter of the wealthy Li family from Suijintan!No wonder!Everyone suddenly understood.The Emperor placed great trust in Marquis Xinting, who remained unmarried and childless, treat...
