The next morning, Meng Shijie had breakfast and went to see if the people in the field had run away.
When I looked over, I saw that all five people were still there.
The strange thing was that the ropes on their hands and feet were gone, but none of them ran away. The five of them sat back to back in the field, looking around with horror on their faces.
The panicked expressions on those people's faces looked as if they were frightened by something.
"What happened to them?"
The few people who followed were all very surprised.
"Who untied these people, or did they free themselves?"
Yesterday, everyone saw with their own eyes that Meng Shijie tied all the knots into tight knots.
"Why don't they run away but sit here and wait for breakfast?"
The two brothers Meng Shuchun and Meng Shuxia really couldn't understand it.
"It's good enough if you don't fear them eating shit."
And now that they were coming over, those people seemed not to have seen them. They were still looking around with terrified eyes, and their faces were abnormally flushed, as if they were sick.
Several people stayed in the fields all night in the middle of winter. It was especially cold in the mountains at night, so it was understandable that they got sick from the cold.
"Hurry up and get the bullock cart."
Seeing that none of the people ran away, Meng Shijie quickly sent them to the government office and handed them over to Lord Chang.
The man with broken ribs must have suffered internal injuries and didn't wake up all night.
His face looked very bad now, with an abnormal blush, and no one dared to touch him.
Meng Shijie also thought of this person and went back to prepare to put him on the ox cart.
Before taking action, he carefully looked around and made sure that nothing bad would happen.
The whole process was safe and sound, but the person with broken ribs was so unlucky that he was in so much pain that he was dying and coming back to life again.
[Haha, Dad is scared, but the bad luck on Dad’s head has faded a lot.
Those people were still very dark, as black as ink, and they were filled with deathly aura.
It seems these people won't live long.
Dad, this can be considered as getting rid of a threat to the people, so your luck may have improved.]
After observing for such a long time, Meng Shuyan has gained a lot of experience in looking at people's luck.
Basically, the conclusions she drew about the changes in the color of the luck above her head were consistent with the actual situation.
"Oh, my dear Fubao~ He can even hold his head up high!
So awesome!
How can you be so capable? "
Leng Yingshuang went to the toilet, and Meng Shuyan was held by her grandmother.
Mrs. Chen thought that since it was early in the morning, she should let her granddaughter sleep a little longer, so she did not hold her upright.
Usually she likes to watch the fun and complain in her heart. If she is not allowed to watch, she will cry out to be held upright, so when her family members hold her, they will hold her upright a little.
Chen would shake her granddaughter from time to time, hoping that she would sleep more peacefully.
It wasn't until I heard my granddaughter's inner voice that I looked down and saw that she was holding her head high.
She was laughing happily watching her father work.
This surprised Chen greatly.
When she yelled, everyone else looked over.
It was very surprising to see the little baby, who was only over a month old, holding her head high and watching her father working with great interest.
"Mom, I remember that when Shuchun and his three brothers were little, they first raised their heads after they were three months old. Even Liqian and Lihou didn't raise their heads until they were more than three months old, right?"
Ji Shi really loves Meng Shuyan, and even Shu Shi likes her very much.
"Yeah, most kids are like that."
"Then don't you see whose daughter she is?
My daughter is definitely the best, most powerful, and most amazing daughter in the world. Of course she is different and looks smart!"
Meng Shijie stretched his head far away and didn't dare to get close, for fear that he would pass on the bad luck to his family.
Seeing his daughter smiling, he was so happy that he showed his big teeth and praised her hard. He was praising his daughter and himself at the same time.
He took the rope again, tied the five men's hands together behind their backs, tied them to the back of the ox cart, and drove the ox cart to the provincial capital.
Meng Shuchun and Zhou's eldest son followed behind in their own carriages, and went to the provincial capital to buy some things needed for the family.
During this period, they must have gone to the provincial capital almost every day to buy things for their home.
After arriving at the provincial capital, Meng Shijie led the group of people into the government office.
Many passers-by stopped or went directly to the government office to watch the excitement.
"What's going on?"
And those people all had bruised faces and noses. Something big must have happened!
Eat melon, eat big melon!
Meng Shuchun saw that his uncle had arrived safely at the government office, and then he went out to buy things with Zhou's son.
Those people were frightened all night and were out of their minds.
The prefect slammed the gavel and asked them to answer whatever he asked.
Prince Ning's Mansion
King Ning was very excited at the thought that his daughter might still be alive, but Liu refused to cooperate with him, so he had to arrest Liu and interrogate her. He actually found some clues and sent people to investigate.
Princess Ning has been feeling listless these past two days and even fell ill. She went to bed early yesterday.
As soon as I woke up today, the nanny came to report.
"Princess, that woman lives in Sanshan Village. She has a family of more than a dozen people, including her husband, whose surname is Meng.
Furthermore, the family of Dr. Zhou, once renowned as a sage in the palace, were also in the village with them."
The nanny told the princess all the information that the people she sent to find out had brought back.
The princess was also surprised to hear that Doctor Zhou's family was also there, but she remembered that something happened in the palace a few months ago, which implicated many people.
There were also many people who were beheaded or exiled. Those with less serious crimes were sent to other sparsely populated areas to reclaim wasteland.
Even though Doctor Zhou was not deeply involved, he was still implicated, so he was sent to cultivate the land.
The princess was very excited when she thought that the granddaughter who looked like her might be her granddaughter, and that the little woman yesterday might be her daughter who had been lost for eighteen years.
"Are they all right?"
“They have nowhere to live for the time being. There are no good houses in the village, so they have to build their own houses.
Last night, a group of people came into the village, found them and started beating and smashing things.”
The nanny didn't dare to hide it.
"What did you say?
So what happened to them?
Is anyone injured?
Where's my granddaughter?"
When Princess Ning heard that her house was being smashed and looted, her heart was in her throat.
“Didn’t Xian’er ask someone to look after that family?
Are they all dead?"
"Don't worry, Princess."
The princess also remembered that she was the one who called the guards back.
If anything happened to her granddaughter, she would never forgive herself.
"The Meng family was quite brave. With the help of themselves and the other two families, they were able to repel those dozen people.
There are still a few people left, and they should be sent to the government office today."
"That's good!"
The princess breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her eyebrows again, "Do you know who sent them to destroy the place?"
The princess thought about it and it was the Crown Prince’s sister from yesterday.
