Chapter 242: Governor Ye is a very cunning person
Hearing this, Yang Erniu's eyes showed a trace of pain, "Half of them were forced into doing so."
"Okay, we got it."
Song Jiuyuan nodded slightly, "Your task now is to tie up all these people.
I will send someone to hand over to you. Remember, no one should be left behind, including you and all your parents’ relatives.”
"Don't be clever."
Jiang Wan kindly reminded him, "The person will be sent to the capital for interrogation. If there is no problem, he can leave after the interrogation."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."
Yang Erniu nodded hurriedly, quickly went to the yard to find some ropes, and began to tie everyone together.
Old man Ouyang felt a little itchy, "Junior sister, how about I give them something else?"
"No, these are all witnesses. It will be difficult to deal with them if you kill them."
Although Jiang Wan didn't know what Song Jiuyuan was planning, she didn't intend to hinder him.
Hearing this, Old Man Ouyang could only obey and not refute. Several people checked the farm up and down.
It's not big, and there's not much money or property in it. It seems that the prefect is really stingy. Boss Peng helps him so much, but he doesn't give much.
Finally, Song Jiuyuan left another secret guard to supervise Yang Erniu, and the three of them returned the same way.
When they arrived at the carriage, Song Yi had already returned, and the remaining people were tied together.
Song Jiuyuan asked him to find a carriage to send these women back to the city, while Qingshan stayed here.
Seeing Jiang Wan and Qi Chu climbing onto the carriage and about to leave, some people couldn't wait any longer.
"Wait, you're not going to take us with you?"
The one who called them was a young girl. Her light green dress was stained with dirt. Fortunately, the maid beside her supported her.
"We only have one carriage."
Jiang Wan casually explained, "Someone will come to pick you up later."
"You are the ones who rescued us, shouldn't you take us away with you?
What if these bandits come back again after you leave?"
The girl in green had a determined look in her eyes, which were fixed on their carriage.
This obviously means he wants to leave with them.
Qi Chu was embarrassed, "There are so many of you, there is no room for you to sit down."
"Then can you take my girl away first?"
The maid of the green-dressed girl hurriedly spoke up, "My girl is weak."
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Not only is your daughter weak, but our wife is also weak!"
"Yes, the wife of the magistrate didn't say anything, how can you be so embarrassed?"
“…”
Having been locked up for a few days, some people were in a bad mood and naturally full of anger.
Seeing that the group of people were about to get into an argument, Jiang Wan did not say anything, but left the decision to Song Jiuyuan.
Song Jiuyuan said coldly, "If anyone starts causing trouble again, you can go back on your own!"
This successfully shut everyone up.
After all, they didn't even know where they were. If they walked back, they didn't know when they would get there.
"But……"
The girl in green wanted to say something else, but Song Jiuyuan interrupted her.
"Figure it out yourself!"
Saving them was already a good thing, but do these people really want their help in everything?
Jiang Wan glanced indifferently at the girl in green. Her face was indeed a little pale.
Her steps were steady and she certainly didn't look like someone who would faint at any moment.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wan lowered the curtain of the carriage and didn't look outside. It was a mess, which made her feel upset.
When Song Jiuli saw Qi Chu at this moment, he chatted with her chatteringly.
"Sister Chu, didn't you go back to spend the New Year with your family?"
"yes."
Qi Chu chuckled and said, "I had New Year's Eve dinner with them and visited relatives to pay New Year's greetings.
You don’t know, when I was not at home, my mother kept mumbling to me, and on the first day I returned, she kept calling me “baoer, baoer”.
On the second day, he started calling me by my name. On the third day, he started to dislike me for making noise in the yard. On the fourth day, he simply stopped coming to my yard. ”
Everyone: ...
Song Jiuli glanced at Madam Song quietly, and said to Qi Chu in a very low voice:
"Sister Chu, this is what they call missing you when you can't see it, and getting annoyed when you see it."
"Li'er."
Mrs. Song's unpleasant words made Song Jiuli silent instantly.
"Mom, I didn't say you."
Song Jiuli's desire to survive was so strong that everyone was left in tears and laughter. Qi Chu even said:
"I've been missing you guys since I stayed at home for a few days, and I thought you would definitely come to Jiuzhou City.
I simply said goodbye to my parents and set off, never expecting to run into you guys by chance."
She thought she could only meet him in the capital city.
"We were delayed in Qucheng for a few days."
Jiang Wan didn't explain it in detail, but Qi Chu was smart and could probably guess most of it.
This place is not far from the city. After crossing a few mountains, you can vaguely see the smoke and firework not far away.
Before arriving, Song Jiuli and several other female relatives wore veils, and even Song Qing covered his face.
After all, the Sixth Prince and the Dog Emperor's men might still be looking for him, so he is also a potential danger.
Perhaps they had received the news long ago, for as soon as they entered the city, a figure hurriedly ran up to Song Jiuyuan.
This man was wearing an official uniform, and following behind him were several other officials from the city, all of whom were kneeling in front of them.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty and His Majesty the Princess!"
The one kneeling in the front is the governor Ye of Jiuzhou. If you look closely, you can see that he is a very shrewd person.
Even when he saw the real boss, Song Jiuyuan, he did not show any panic.
On the other hand, the associate magistrate, deputy magistrate, and professors behind Prefect Ye did not dare to say a word and just knelt upright.
Song Jiuyuan didn't say anything, he just turned over and dismounted indifferently, and walked a few steps to Prefect Ye.
He didn't say anything, and these people didn't dare to stand up. This commotion caused the people in the city to look over curiously.
After a few breaths, Song Jiuyuan said sarcastically: "I don't even know when I arrived at the city.
Governor Ye is well-informed and arrived even more promptly than my subordinates."
This statement clearly meant that he was following his whereabouts. Governor Ye said in fear and trepidation:
“Your Majesty, please forgive me. When I learned that Your Majesty was coming to the city, I ordered people to guard the city gate.
Knowing that you are about to arrive, I brought my subordinates to greet you, but I don’t want to treat you badly. "
"Slow treatment?"
Song Jiuyuan chewed on these words with interest, and suddenly said: "From now on, Jiuzhou is my fiefdom, Song Jiuyuan.
It is the guests who are being treated poorly, and I will be the master of Jiuzhou from now on."
His few words made the hairs on Governor Ye's body stand up, and a hint of coldness flashed across his drooping eyes.
Then he echoed Song Jiuyuan's words, "Your Highness is right. From now on, I will follow your lead."
"I will follow your lead, Your Majesty."
"I will follow your lead, Your Majesty."
“…”
Several people expressed their loyalty to Song Jiuyuan, but everyone knew that it was just superficial.
