The commotion of the government officials and their numerous yamen runners entering Huaqiao Village startled many villagers awake. Unaware of their sleepiness, they all rose from their beds, dressed, and came out to watch the excitement.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao! Lord Xiao is worthy of being the father and mother of the people of Fufeng County. As soon as he heard that there were bandits coming, he personally led people to capture them."
After the show was over, Mu Lige, supported by Han Yichen, walked out of the front gate of Hua's house and thanked Xiao Yanlan.
Thank her for cleaning up the garbage outside her yard! After all, if she killed all these bandits, not only would it pollute her doorstep, but the bodies would also be difficult to deal with, so handing them over to the government was the best option.
"This is simply my duty. The bandits from Qingfeng Village on Gaimao Mountain have been harming the people for years. It's time to bring them to justice!"
Xiao Yanlan spoke in an official tone, her face full of righteous indignation. She also mocked the magistrate of Fuyun County in both open and covert ways, and secretly praised herself in passing.
"Li Ge, are you guys okay?"
Hua's father, Ye Maochun, who was already fast asleep, heard that bandits had come to his daughter's house, so he immediately dragged Hua Rongsheng to the Hua house at the end of the village.
It was just that the police were busy investigating a case, so they couldn't get closer. Furthermore, there were quite a few villagers watching, surrounding them in three layers. Faced with such a huge crowd, they squeezed for a long time but couldn't get in. Now that the police had left and the villagers had dispersed, they were finally able to get to Mu Lige.
"It's okay, Mom, Dad. There have been wild boars around recently, so I asked someone to dig a big trap at the doorstep just in case. Unexpectedly, we hit the jackpot and caught the bandits." Mu Lige explained calmly.
"Wild boar? That's quite dangerous. Why don't you, Sanlang, and Xiaotian all go live with Dad."
When Ye Maochun heard about the wild boar, he immediately became nervous. His daughter was away, and the wives of the family were pregnant or frail, which was really worrying.
"They should have gone back to the mountains. Qingqing has set up some traps around the house to prevent thieves, so you don't have to worry. It's getting late, so Mom and Dad should go back and get some rest."
"Okay, then please close the gates to the courtyard and the room, and don't go out at night unless necessary."
Seeing Mu Lige was so persistent, Hua's mother and father gave him a few instructions and then returned to the Hua family at the village entrance.
"Brother, go back and rest."
Seeing that Mu Lige was still standing there in a daze after Hua's mother and father left, Han Yichen couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, let's go."
Just as Mu Lige and Han Yichen entered the front yard and were about to close the gate, they heard the sound of a carriage stopping outside the yard and an urgent shout.
"Hua Dafulang, please wait a moment!"
Mu Lige looked back and saw a man dressed like a guard jumping off the carriage in front of him and walking towards him in a hurry. As the distance got closer, the other person's face became clearer and clearer, and Mu Lige felt that he looked very familiar.
Isn’t that Feng Wu, one of the guards who came with Si Chengfeng this morning?
Mu Lige's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could something have happened to Qingqing and the others?
