Yuan Tieniu forgot to take the school bag he was carrying and almost fell down. Liu Youfu grabbed him and said nervously, "Tieniu, be careful, don't fall down. Give me the school bag."
"Dad, I'm fine. My cousin seems to be taking a shower. I'll go call him."
Yuan Tieniu said this as he took off the school bag and handed it to Liu Youfu.
After the people left, Liu Youfu felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "Boss, please sit down first. I'll go make some tea."
"You're welcome. I'll just say a few words and leave." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Liu Youfu chuckled twice and went to the kitchen.
After waiting for a while, Ji Ming came over with wet hair. He picked up a stool and said, "Let me dry my hair while the sun is shining while we talk."
"You're not being too particular. I'm a guest after all." Song Yuehua also picked up a stool and came out into the sun.
Ji Ming sighed heavily and said, "There's nothing I can do. You came at the wrong time. When I first got home, I was in a bad mood."
Song Yuehua didn't want to chat with him anymore, so she asked, "You didn't go to Bianzhou?"
“I didn’t make it.”
Ji Ming and Li Hongxia followed the exile route and later found out that the officers who escorted the prisoners were killed along the way.
As for where the group of criminals went, no one knew.
The two men were selling goods and looking for people along the way.
It was not until they reached a mountain gorge that they learned from merchants that the group of officials were shot dead here and the prisoners were kidnapped by bandits.
"A man is the swineherd. What do they want to do with him?" Song Yuehua thought of the bandits in red clothes. They didn't want men.
Ji Ming sighed and said, "Of course, we will serve as a human wall."
"That gang of bandits killed officials and robbed merchants, committing all kinds of evil. I thought the pig herder was dead. If it weren't for Aunt Li's insistence, I would not have continued to look for him."
"Later we found Youcheng. We heard that bandits entered the city and committed all kinds of evil. In the end, the leaders were all killed by the city guards. Many of the gang's subordinates were like pig farmers who were forced to become bandits."
Ji Ming took Li Hongxia to the city to find a person who had painted a portrait, and then went to look for the person with the painted portrait.
When the city lord saw them, he asked the two men how they had found the place. After learning the news, he was deeply moved and told them the whereabouts of the swineherd.
When the swineherd fell into the hands of the city lord, he shouted that he was innocent. Everyone who entered the dungeon shouted that they were innocent.
The city lord did not have the time to judge one by one, but he was afraid of killing innocent people, so he came up with a win-win plan.
Send this group of people to the barracks. Those who are capable will be able to stand out, and those who are not capable will at least have a good reputation of dying on the battlefield.
This time they were really sent to the border state. The city lord had a group of captured people under his command, and Li Hongxia was taken there as well.
Ji Ming sold some goods in Youcheng and received a lot of new goods. He also wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year, so he said goodbye to Li Hongxia in Youcheng.
"It's a pity that I didn't go to Bianzhou this time," Ji Ming said with a smile, "It won't be too late to go again if I have the chance in the future."
"It's not too late," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "This time I'm asking you to go to the border state."
"What's going on?"
"The magistrate of Yan County has been sent to prison. Don't you know?"
Ji Ming frowned and said, "I only know it after you tell me."
Song Yuehua informed him of all the information concerning Qingzhou Prefect Chen and Yan County Magistrate.
Finally, Song Yuehua said, "Speaking of Bianzhou, I was thinking of you. It just so happens that you come back at this time. Isn't this a coincidence..."
Ji Ming looked a little absent-minded at this time, and obviously didn't hear anything. Song Yuehua waved her hand in front of him, and he came back to his senses.
"How is the Guan family?" Ji Ming asked.
Song Yuehua was stunned for a while before she said, "Why is the Guan family involved?
"Have you ever heard of the term collusion between officials and businessmen?" Ji Ming said, "I heard about it in Wenzhou City on the day Guan Xiaodie got married..."
Song Yuehua said, "Isn't Xiaodie married? If the Guan family encounters trouble again, it shouldn't involve her."
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment, then stood up and quickly tied up his hair before saying, "I'm going out for a while."
"stop!"
Song Yuehua stopped him and said, "Sit down. Did you hear what I just said?"
"What did you say?"
Song Yuehua, "..."
"I'm letting you go to the border state this time. You can name the price. Please take good care of the Yan family members along the way. At least make sure they get there alive. And you can give them some silver so that they can live better in the border state." Song Yuehua said again.
Ji Ming nodded and said, "I don't have many people here, I'm afraid I can't protect so many people."
"Don't worry, we will arrange all the staff for you." Song Yuehua said.
Only then did Ji Ming agree and hurried out the door.
The next day, Song Yuehua was having dinner with Xiaoyu, Xiaobao, and Xiaoyu when Ji Ming ran to find Song Yuehua and said hurriedly, "The Guan family has also been imprisoned. I need Master to accompany me to Wenzhou."
Song Yuehua said, "Master Duan is in the school, go find him yourself."
Ji Ming didn't even enter the door, he just ran away after hearing the words.
Xiaoyu asked, "Sister, is Sister Xiaodie in trouble too?"
"It shouldn't happen," Song Yuehua said, "Guan Xiaodie is a married woman, so she shouldn't be implicated. But if her natal family falls, she might not have a good life in her husband's family."
Xiaoyu clenched her fists and said, "What's going on? Bad things keep happening one after another..."
"This is a case of pulling out the radish brings out the mud, and no grasshopper on the same rope can escape." Song Yuehua sighed.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. I have bought flour at home, but there is not a single New Year atmosphere at all.
Song Yuehua was counting her New Year wages at home.
The chess hall has been open for two months. Xiaofu and Xiaoyu's monthly salary is 1 tael of silver. Excluding the purchase of charcoal in the last few months, the monthly revenue is 20 taels of silver.
