As Shu Yu spoke, she turned to Ying Xi and said, "You drive the carriage to the estate first and ask Brother Da Niu to come over and take a look at the land here. Also, bring the seeds and the deeds. If you can get it done in one go, it will save me from having to make another trip."

"Yes." Ying Xi nodded in agreement.

The others breathed a sigh of relief. They had brought the seeds and the contract; if the conditions were right, they could definitely plant them.

Ruan Hai was even more heartbroken, and at this moment Shu Yu looked at him and said, "Village Chief Ruan, what do you think? We'll need you to take a look at this contract and give the villagers their feedback."

Facing the gazes of the other villagers, Ruan Hai would never say he was unwilling. He hurriedly forced a dry laugh and said, "Of course, of course."

Shu Yu then left Ruan Hai's house surrounded by the villagers.

As soon as he left, Ruan Hai's face darkened. His wife whispered, "What exactly does this county princess want to do?"

"What are you trying to do? Ha, is this a warning to me? She probably knows that I was involved in the idea of ​​bringing Ruan here, so now she wants to get involved in everything in the village."

His wife frowned. "What if most of the people in this village start planting sunflowers? Will they still listen to you then?"

"Don't worry about that. Didn't you notice that the county magistrate only agreed to a few households? And they were all people with good relations with Ruan Chengchun's family."

"There's only a short time in the morning, but there's still the afternoon, right? Those who heard the commotion will probably be rushing over."

Ruan Hai nodded. "You're right. Call the eldest brother over and have him gather his second cousin and the others. While the county magistrate is having lunch, have them visit the homes of the villagers who are interested. Remind them that I'm still in charge of Ruan Family Village. The county magistrate is gone, but they still have to live in the village. Don't be out of their minds. They're not like Ruan Dali, who has a way out."

"I understand." Ruan Hai's wife turned and went into the eldest son's room.

Ruan Hai stood in the main room, his face growing increasingly sour. "You brat, you've got a hand that's too far ahead of you."

Shu Yu was already standing at the door of Ruan Chengchun's house. The villagers were very hospitable and escorted her all the way there before stopping.

Shu Yu and the other two went inside. After closing the courtyard gate, she asked Ruan Chengqian, "How was it?"

"We found the body; it really is Cao Jiang."

Ruan Chengqian's expression was very solemn. Before, it was just his and the county magistrate's speculation, but now that he saw the corpse, it proved that Ruan Kewei was really ruthless and had killed someone.

People like that are too dangerous in the village.

"They dug the person out?"

Ruan Chengqian shook his head, "We dug halfway up, but after seeing his face, we covered it with soil again."

“Alright.” Shu Yu nodded and said to Ying Xi, “You eat first, and then go to the county town to find Lord Xie. Have Constable Jiang bring about twenty men over, and take this opportunity to arrest Ruan Hai and his son.”

"clear."

In fact, Shu Yu could dig up the body right now. It's a normal procedure to report a murder to the authorities in Ruanjia Village.

But the murderers happen to be Ruan Hai and his son. As the clan chief, he has people under his control. If he incites the villagers to stop them, it is very likely that the bodies will be destroyed before they are even dug up.

Ruan Chengchun was somewhat worried. "The body has been found, and the hoe was also buried in the pit, but there is no evidence to prove that Ruan Kewei killed him. Should we look for something else?"
