Chapter 1041 Complaint
After Liu Mingda and the others left, the people in the village continued to do their business as usual.
Although Da Chen, who taught them martial arts, had left, everyone had learned most of the kung fu he taught them. In the evening, everyone would take the initiative to gather in the open space of the village to practice with each other.
Qin Eryong was very satisfied to see that everyone was so self-aware.
He came to discuss the matter of hiring a bodyguard with Zhang Juexia, and Zhang Juexia naturally agreed.
Because she knew that she would not be able to stay in this farm for long, and this farm would eventually have to rely on the big guys.
Since they were so willing to learn martial arts, she would naturally support them.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go into the city tomorrow. It just so happens that I got some good stuff from the bandits that night. I was thinking of asking Brother Shen Liang to help me exchange it for silver and then distribute it to everyone."
“Are there a lot of good stuff?”
"Not much, just a few pieces of jewelry for women, but there is quite a bit of silver."
"Then put the jewelry aside for now. As for the silver, you can ask Chen Liang to take you to the silver shop and help exchange it for small change."
Qin Eryong was puzzled, and Zhang Juexia reminded him, "None of us knows where these jewels came from. If we take them out to exchange for silver now, what if we get into trouble?"
"Sister-in-law, I was so focused on distributing the money to everyone that I forgot about this. I was really careless.
I'll bring these jewels to you for safekeeping!"
"Just put it away and remember it.
Go exchange the silver and distribute it to everyone, just in time for winter so everyone can stock up on winter necessities."
"Sister-in-law is really thoughtful. I will go there tomorrow."
Not long after Qin Eryong left, Shen Liang came in a hurry.
The last time Chen Liang came to the manor was on the third day after Zhang Juexia accompanied Liu Mingda to the manor. He came to tell Zhang Juexia that everything in the city was the same as before. As for who the officials came to look for that day, he did not find out.
However, he could guess that he must be a big shot, otherwise, he would not have mobilized such a large number of troops.
He also told Zhang Juexia to live in the manor with peace of mind, and he would report immediately if there was any disturbance.
When Zhang Juexia thought of this, he immediately became alert. Could something really have happened?
When Shen Liang saw Zhang Juexia, he didn’t even drink the water and said directly, “Madam, something big has happened!”
Zhang Juexia was so scared that she couldn't hold the teacup steady in her hand, and it almost dropped to the ground. If she hadn't reacted quickly, the teacup would have been broken.
Seeing himself like this, Shen Liang was afraid that he had frightened Zhang Juexia, so he quickly calmed himself down, "Madam, just now, when I went out, I saw the city officials, each holding a portrait, searching the streets for someone.
I looked forward out of curiosity, and the person in the portrait looked about 70% like Dachen.
So, I came running.”
Shen Liang looked around, then lowered his voice again, “Madam, why don’t you let Doctor Liu’s patient hide for a while.”
"Can you ask the officer what crime the man in the portrait committed?"
"I asked, but they didn't tell me. The officials I knew well advised me not to meddle in other people's business.
They said this was an arrangement from above and they were just doing their job and had to do it.
They also said that this person had committed a serious crime. Anyway, the meaning was that no matter what, as long as he was found, his life would be taken.
Madam, this is a matter of life and death, I think we should let Brother Dachen hide for a while!"
"No need to hide, they've already left."
"Leave, where are you going?
What if Brother Dachen is discovered by them? "
"There's nothing we can do about it. They've already left here, so it has nothing to do with us anymore!"
“That’s right!”
When Qin Eryong learned that Shen Liang had arrived, he also ran over and said, “Brother Shen Liang, if you didn’t come, I would have gone to the city to find you.”
Shen Liang asked hurriedly, “But what happened?”
Qin Eryong briefly explained that the people in the village wanted to learn martial arts. "After Brother Dachen left, there was no martial arts master in the village. I have to go find Brother Ren and ask him to help find one."
When Shen Liang heard that the people in the village wanted to learn martial arts, he agreed very much, "Learning martial arts is a good thing. To be honest, if something happens in the village, everyone can help!"
"Brother, you are right. Just a few days ago..."
Zhang Juexia quickly winked at Qin Eryong. To be honest, it was not that she did not believe Chen Liang, but it would be best if as few people knew about what happened that day as possible.
Although everyone in Zhuangzi knew about it, they would keep it secret for the sake of their living place.
Qin Eryong quickly shut up, causing Shen Liang to keep urging him, "Brother Eryong, is it true that some bad guys have entered the village?"
Zhang Juexia helped Qin Eryong answer, "Yes, there are indeed bad guys in the village. If it weren't for Dachen, everyone in the village would have been in trouble."
"I knew that Brother Dachen was a good person. I hope he's alright!"
Now it was Qin Eryong who was puzzled again, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
"The city's police are searching for Da Chen all over town, saying he's committed a serious crime!"
"Isn't this nonsense? Dachen has been staying in the village all the time, where could he go to commit a crime?
No, I have to warn the people in the village that if those officials come to the village again looking for someone, I will make sure they keep their mouths shut.
If anyone dares to reveal even a word of this, I will kick him out of the village."
Qin Eryong came quickly and left quickly.
Only Shen Liang and Zhang Juexia were left in the room. Shen Liang asked Zhang Juexia, "Madam, how long do you plan to stay in this farm?"
"I haven't decided yet. If I don't want to stay here anymore, I'll go back."
"If it's up to me, you should stay here!
The city has been in chaos lately, with one thing happening every day or another.
Whenever something happened in the past, the government would automatically avoid the Shen family.
But now even the Shen family can’t avoid it. A few days ago, they just paid a large amount of tax, and now they are asked to pay some more tax.”
Ever since Chen Liang helped Zhang Juexia manage Qingfeng City's business, Zhang Juexia rarely heard him complain, "Chen Liang, is there a shortage of money in the account?"
Shen Liang quickly shook his head, “Madam, there is no shortage, I just feel tired.
We used to open our doors to do business, but now we have to deal with these officials every day."
"How about we close the shop?"
When Zhang Juexia said this, Shen Liang was so scared that he stood up, "Madam, you can't do this!
The guys in the shop have to eat, and so do their families.
Besides, we are self-sufficient and the shop still makes money.
It’s a pity to close it.
Madam, have I overstepped my bounds, I…"
Zhang Juexia couldn't help laughing when he saw Shen Liang lowering his head in frustration.
