As a juren, Zhao Yan was respected by everyone in the county.
Now he had to pay his respects to the person he once looked down upon. He really couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
He nodded slightly as a greeting.
Faced with Tiezhu's unfriendly look, he could only pretend not to see it.
Zhao Xun was easily satisfied, and Zhao Yan's actions pleased him to some extent.
Thinking of his father's body still warm, Zhao Yan didn't care and just enjoyed the feeling of superiority of being the center of attention.
Unexpectedly, the once unattainable "Moon" was forced to salute him first because of his suppressed status.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xun quickly frowned, for he was afraid that he would laugh.
Zhao Yan has already acted like this, and I'm really looking forward to the reactions of other members of the Zhao family when they find out.
Could it be that they were saying that he was the glory of the family, and were applying all the words originally used to praise Zhao Yan to him, and even opening a separate page for him in the family tree?
Stop it now, I can’t take it anymore. I feel chills just thinking about it.
At the same time, Uncle Zhong had gathered his men and was heading towards Yunshan Village.
Although the Zhao family is not kind, they are still villagers of Yunshan Village after all.
A high-profile arrest would definitely not work, after all, there is no evidence to show that those people were related to the cause of Zhao Laosi's death.
Uncle Zhong went to the Qingshan County Government Office, revealed his identity, and then directly found a few officials to accompany him to Yunshan Village.
The village chief and the elders were terrified. What had happened? What crime had the Zhao brothers committed?
Uncle Zhong gave an order and brought the three men back to the county government office for interrogation.
The village chief followed them to the county government office, and only when they arrived did they find out that it was because of Zhao Laosi's disappearance.
It has been nine years since this incident happened, and I didn’t expect that someone is still investigating it.
The village chief was not involved in the incident and didn't know much. He only vaguely remembered that they said Zhao Laosi lost his life while trying to pick a medicinal herb.
He didn't think anything of it at first. After all, he had never been to the provincial capital and didn't know the situation there.
But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid there may be other hidden stories behind what happened back then.
The three were detained separately and interrogated individually.
The old village chief saw that there was not much point in staying here, so he returned to the village with a nervous mood.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I found many villagers waiting there.
Everyone was talking at the same time, and the noise gave the village chief a headache.
After giving them a few brief instructions, they were allowed to disperse quickly.
There is no need to panic. Even if something really happens, it has nothing to do with other villagers. Just eat and drink as usual and don't spread rumors.
It’s not okay to spread rumors!
The village chief dragged his tired body back home and met an unexpected person outside the wall.
"It's so late, do you need me for something?"
"I do have something to ask you."
"How's the child? Is he feeling better?"
"Not very good. It still tends to come back at night."
"Raising a child is not easy. It's hard for you two."
After a few pleasantries, the two sides finally brought the issue back to the topic.
Mrs. Du carefully asked, "Is the uncle who brought the officers to arrest people the officers from the county government?"
The village chief was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand why the scholar's wife had such a question?
Mrs. Du smiled embarrassedly and said that the man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
The village chief shook his head: "It's unlikely. It is said that he came from the capital."
Jia's heart trembled, and she turned around and staggered towards home.
Du Xiucai was taking care of the children at home. His youngest son was born weak and would be in pain for several days if he had a headache or fever.
The child suffered and the adult suffered. If possible, he really wanted to switch with the child.
Children under one year old cannot clearly explain where they feel uncomfortable.
They go to the county clinic every month, but the disease keeps recurring and there is no improvement, which makes them very worried.
"I'm back. You come look after the child. I'll go see if the medicine is ready."
Jia took the child and said hesitantly, "My husband, I want to go to the county town tomorrow. I want to confirm whether that person is the one I know."
Du Xiucai nodded, feeling relieved that his wife was doing things reliably.
But you still have to be careful when going out alone. It is safer and faster to go into the city by mule cart in the village.
A pleasant voice sounded, it was their eldest daughter.
The little girl wanted her mother to bring back some embroidery thread for her.
Jia looked at her daughter and, not knowing what was in her mind, decided to take her into the city with her.
The mother and daughter rode the village mule cart into the city and got off together at the city gate.
Jia first bought embroidery thread for her daughter, and then the two of them went to wait near the county government office.
The little girl didn't know who her mother was waiting for, but she sat there obediently and knitted.
She wanted to make money to treat her brother's illness. Her brother was so pitiful. He was still so young and had never eaten anything delicious. He just took medicine every day.
Jia stared at the county government office for a long time but didn't see the person she was looking for.
She mustered up the courage to take a few steps closer, wanting to ask the officer about it.
Just then, two horses trotted towards the county government office.
A tall, pitch-black horse with golden chains hanging from its limbs approached.
Only then did Jia see clearly that there were two people sitting there. The one in front looked familiar, as if he was the particularly promising young man from the Han family.
Could it be that she was dazzled? Wasn't that person in the capital? How could he appear here?
Han Zeyu stretched out his hand, but before he could throw Zhao Xun down, Tiezhu came running over and diligently carried Zhao Xun down from the horse.
Who is jealous and envious of this poor physique? Han Zeyu didn't say it, it wasn't him anyway.
When her husband is in good shape, he can lift him above his head like a barbell.
Whether it is the snatch or the clean and jerk, the lifts are very good and very stable!
Han Zeyu, who was not at all pretentious, got off the horse swiftly.
I glanced at the little girl under the tree and confirmed through eye contact that she was someone I didn't know.
Then look at the woman who seemed to have been acupunctured, her eyes fixed on the iron pillar.
Hmm? This guy looks familiar. I must have seen him somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.
A figure walked stealthily along the wall, trying to avoid someone's sight.
Han Zeyu tilted his head. What a coincidence!
He knew the man and quickly greeted him, "Uncle, I'm here to see you. I haven't seen you for a long time and I missed you so much. You look much older now."
Zhu Yongnian corrected someone for the Nth time: "Don't call me uncle, don't use honorifics. I'm only in my early thirties. Do you know how to speak? What do you mean by vicissitudes of life?"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they still started quarreling as soon as they met.
Tie Zhu also greeted the people in the county government office enthusiastically: "Uncle Zhong, have you made any progress?"
Jia, who had become a background figure, murmured, "Uncle Zhong, it turns out it really is you."
