Chapter 233 Where is Wangcai?
The matter was almost settled, and Nong Lin didn't beat around the bush with the county magistrate. He said bluntly, "County magistrate Yao, it's a good thing that His Majesty has chosen Qinghe City as an experimental field for potato planting. As long as the potato planting is successful, you, County magistrate Yao, will also receive a share of the credit. Why are you so stubborn as to destroy the official fields?"
Potato cultivation is related to the destiny of the Jin Dynasty. Destroying it is a crime of treason.
Now that we have caught him red-handed, if you have any defense, wait until the imperial envoy arrives before you can discuss it."
Upon hearing that someone had vandalized the official potato fields, County Magistrate Yao flatly denied it: "That's impossible. The official fields are staffed by my men. There's no way that could have happened."
Ever since the imperial court decided to send people to Qinghe City for a trial planting, County Magistrate Yao regarded this matter as his top priority. He carefully checked the official fields inside and out. Even if it was just a frog, it would be innocent.
Treason, what a joke.
He was also waiting for a bumper potato harvest so that he could reap the benefits and return to the capital to continue his promotion and wealth.
At this moment, County Magistrate Yao did not know that the situation became difficult because his people were everywhere in the official field.
Seeing County Magistrate Yao's face that looked like he was joking, Nong Lin gave him another heavy blow: "County Magistrate Yao, I've never understood. Although the Dongping Township Master discovered potatoes, the court has reserved some seeds for trial planting in the capital. What's the point of setting up a plan to kill the Township Master?"
At least it seems meaningless to him.
Yao Jun Shou: "When did I set up a plan to kill the village chief? Don't slander me."
Nong Lin was hit by the spit of County Magistrate Yao and immediately lost the desire to continue talking to this man. Anyway, they just wanted to arrest the person, and whether it was unfair or not would be decided by other adults.
It’s better to finish the work quickly and continue to stay at home to take care of Xiaojiu and farm comfortably.
Yao Mansion Backyard
Chen Pingting continued to incite the guards of the Yao Mansion: "What are you waiting for? Even if she is the village chief, so what? The village chief can take people's lives so lightly. Look at what she strangled Yao Lin to."
Cui Qingyi also felt a little weak at this moment, and secretly cursed Nong Qi for being unreliable. If she waited a little longer, Yao Lin's neck would not be broken by her, and her vocal cords would be damaged.
Never mind, let’s just finish the job here and get out first. She still has to go to the mountains to find Wangcai.
Cui Qingyi leaned close to Yao Lin's ear and said, "Miss Yao, please cooperate and suffer less. I will release you after I leave the Yao Mansion safely. This thin thread in my hand was carefully crafted by a craftsman. Even this thread can easily take someone's life. Miss Yao, don't joke with your life."
After saying that, Cui Qingyi urged Yao Lin to go out, and Yao Lin dared not disobey.
Lin Ying hid aside, feeling unwilling. She knew very well that if Cui Qingyi left here safely today, not only would her relationship with Yao Lin be over, but Chen Pingting would also not be able to give her what she wanted.
Thinking back to yesterday when her aunt called her over and pointed at a plump maid, saying that she wanted her to be placed in her courtyard to serve Chen Linan, her aunt had promised that if the maid gave birth to a child in the future, she would give the child to her to raise, but Lin Ying was not willing at all, as she could obviously give birth to a child herself.
Everything started because of the person in front of her. If she hadn't intervened and married her cousin, there wouldn't have been so many accidents in her life. Now that she is back, her cousin, who she flirts with every day, doesn't even look at her. It's all Cui's fault.
Lin Ying was furious and wanted to make everything go back to the starting point.
"Village Master, be careful."
Someone exclaimed, but Cui Qingyi didn't even turn her head. Taozhi turned around when she heard the commotion behind her, and saw Lin Ying actually holding a hairpin and rushing towards her hometown master. Taozhi, who had not been very useful today, kicked her and said, "If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will think I am a kitten and let you make trouble again and again."
Lin Ying was kicked in the lower abdomen and fell to the ground with a thud. Before she could react, the hairpin in her hand had disappeared.
Taozhi put the hairpin into her sleeve and said, "Hold it carefully, hold it carefully. These are all physical evidence that the Yao and Chen families wanted to kill her hometown master. They need to be presented in court as evidence."
When he was finally about to leave the backyard, the backyard door was kicked open from the outside. Seeing Cui Qingyi still alive and kicking, Nong Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't delay anything.
"The village chief is safe. The rioters in Guantian have been successfully apprehended. You can rest assured."
What happened next was natural. Cui Qingyi handed over the transaction to the farmer and called the coachman to hurry out of the house and head up the mountain.
She didn't know where Wangcai had gone, but Qinghe City was mountainous, and Wangcai looked like he would definitely go straight to the mountains.
I don’t know what kind of ability the farmers have. They gathered so many people today for something they just discovered yesterday. Even without Lord Yao, the county governor, the entire Qinghe City was not in chaos when Cui Qingyi came down from the mountain.
The people continued to do what they were doing as usual.
Cui Qingyi leaned against the car window wearily. Taozhi tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, Village Master. Wangcai is so smart, he's sure to be fine. Let's go look for him tomorrow morning."
What else can we do? In this era, there is everything in the mountains, including jackals, tigers and leopards. If we stay in the mountains late at night, they will be like snacks delivered to our doorstep.
If Wangcai was in normal condition, Cui Qingyi would be completely relieved, but now Wangcai looks like that and she doesn’t know what’s wrong with him?
Nong Qi had been waiting at the post station. Seeing Cui Qingyi and her servants return, looking dusty and dusty, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Tomorrow I'll have Nong Lin and others go with you to look for them."
Seeing Cui Qingyi's exhausted expression, obviously physically exhausted and in a bad mood, Nong Qi could only quickly explain the situation clearly: "The man in Guantian was sent in by the Lin family through connections. He had several bottles of rat poison on him and wanted to poison the seedling shed in the dead of night. We caught him red-handed.
As for whether it was treason, we can only wait for the higher-ups to come and investigate, but don't worry, Village Master, no one will be able to threaten you in the future."
Cui Qingyi nodded. Since Wangcai didn’t find her, she was too lazy to care about what happened next.
Cui Qingyi was worried that Wangcai couldn't eat, so she tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
Little did they know that Wangcai, who had returned to the mountains at this moment, was growling and swallowing a rabbit with skin and meat, while his pair of black dog eyes were constantly staring vigilantly at the lone wolf lying on a big rock not far away, basking in the moonlight.
Seeing that there was still some blood in Wangcai's eyes, the strong black male wolf stood up again and quickly disappeared into the night. Wangcai breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground to recuperate.
It had run a long way today and was very tired. If it had not been on guard against the uninvited guest following behind it, it would have fallen asleep long ago.
When the black wolf came back with something in its mouth, it saw a pitch-black female wolf with the same noble fur as its own, curled up and sleeping on the spot. The black wolf happily paced around on all fours.
After wandering around for a while, the black wolf carefully threw the grass in his mouth to the ground. After a while, Wangcai still didn't wake up, so the black wolf returned to the stone where he had lived before.
