“Everyone in the village was woken up, and many people came with their dogs to help.
"But those two wild boars were really big. In the end, with the help of the villagers and Ye Qingchen's excellent archery skills, we were able to capture the other two wild boars.
"This morning, the whole village was given wild boar meat. Everyone was very happy!"
"Ye Qingchen, why does this name sound familiar?" Zhan Changsheng showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this.
Captain Hu remembered it all at once. After all, he had been a captain for so many years, and there was only one capable person like him in the county who could show up in front of the emperor.
"Master Zhan, this Ye Qingchen is the one who shot down three bandits with three arrows and was praised by the Emperor!"
"No wonder!" Zhan Changsheng's expression brightened instantly, and he slammed the table and said, "No wonder other villages are complaining so much, constantly complaining to the higher authorities and asking them to help solve the wild boar problem.
"But your village was the only one that not only did not cause trouble for the government, but even managed to kill the wild boar on its own, and the whole village happily shared the meat.
"You are truly worthy of being a capable person praised by the Emperor!"
However, Zhan Changsheng did not favor one over the other. After praising Boss Ye, he also expressed his approval of Wang Guangping's approach.
"Of course, all of this is inseparable from the leadership of the village chief!
"You were able to proactively learn from the disaster and turn passivity into initiative. It shows that you are truly a good village chief who cares about the people!"
Wang Guangping blushed at the praise and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I dare not take credit for it. If it weren't for Ye Qingchen last night, it would be difficult for anyone in our village to deal with the wild boar!"
"Village Chief Wang, there's no need to be so modest. This is the joint achievement of the two of you. When I return, I will definitely write a memorial to take credit for you two."
Of course, the person that Zhan Changsheng wanted to write about was not Wan Guangping, but Boss Ye.
You know, this is a person who had just been praised by the emperor, and then made such a great contribution to the village. It shows how discerning the emperor is in judging people!
This isn't an attempt to ask for credit for Boss Ye; it's clearly a great opportunity to flatter the Emperor!
When he was assigned to a remote and poor village like Rongxi Village, he was full of dissatisfaction.
Now those grievances have long since vanished.
Fortunately, I did not try to shirk my responsibility, otherwise this great achievement would have fallen into the hands of others.
Zhan Changsheng was so excited that he could hardly sit still. He asked anxiously, "I wonder where Ye Qingchen and Ye Zhuangshi are now? Can I meet them? I admire heroes like him the most in my life!"
"That's easy. I'll ask someone to call him over." Wan Guangping said as he was about to go out to call for help.
Zhan Changsheng quickly stopped him and said, "Why bother calling for help? I really want to make friends, why should I be so condescending? Let's just go over and pay him a visit."
"Oh, then I'll take you there. It's not far away."
Wang Guangping could not understand what Zhan Changsheng was thinking at all, and was secretly thinking that this Mr. Zhan was still young and had not yet developed an overbearing attitude in officialdom. It was really rare that he was so approachable.
The three men quickly arrived at Old Ye's house. Wang Guangping stood outside the door and shouted, then led people into the yard.
Ye Laoer was repairing his own corn building. Seeing this, he quickly climbed down and said, "Village Chief, you are here. Come in and have a seat."
"Where is your elder brother?" Wan Guangping looked around the yard and asked when he didn't see Boss Ye coming out.
"Oh, my eldest brother and the fourth brother went to the city to sell wild boar meat." said Ye Lao Er.
Zhan Changsheng walked around the corn building and saw some bloodstains. He asked, "Was this damaged by the wild boar yesterday?"
"Yes!" Ye Lao Er said, "Last night the wild boar climbed up and broke the door, then rushed in and started eating.
"But luckily it got here. The pillars on both sides got it stuck and it was hard to turn around, so my eldest brother climbed up to the roof over there and took care of it with a few arrows."
Wang Guangping felt that this statement had somewhat weakened Boss Ye's ability, and hurriedly added: "I was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night and was not in a good state, so I shot several arrows.
"I shot one of the two wild boars in the eye and the other in the throat, but both were killed instantly!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Laoer was about to say that the one who was shot in the eye was not killed at once, but was killed by Uncle Dongkui's finishing blow.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Guangping glared at him and he swallowed the words back.
Wang Guangping wiped his sweat in his heart and thought to himself that it was fortunate that it was Ye Lao Er who was at home. If it was Ye Lao Si, he would have shouted out by now.
After Zhan Changsheng praised him for a few words, he turned to the head constable and said, "Since Master Ye has gone to the county town, let's go back quickly!"
Captain Hu vaguely guessed Zhan Changsheng's intention and agreed, but when he turned to leave, he suddenly said that he had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet.
"Can I borrow your toilet?" the head constable said to Ye Lao Er. "Please show me the way."
Ye Lao Er was dragged away by the captain, completely confused. He didn't remember until he reached the backyard and said, "Captain Hu, my toilet is right in the backyard. You can see it at a glance. You don't need me to lead the way."
"Hush!" The head constable gestured to him to keep his voice down, then whispered, "Please do me a favor."
"Captain Hu, if you have anything to say, just give me your instructions."
"My followers are all at the village chief's door. Please quickly send a message for me, asking him to ride back quickly and inform the county magistrate about your elder brother's hunting of wild boar last night."
