Chapter 24

Mrs. Xu was waiting anxiously at home, but all the three daughters-in-law didn't know what was going on. They just looked at their mother-in-law's appearance. They were all a little uneasy and worried.

The waiting time is always very slow.

For the first time, old lady Xu has the feeling of living like a year.

……

Fubao didn't know how long he had slept. He was hazy and his consciousness was vague. He just felt uncomfortable and depressed.

However, she could not wake up.

The feeling of the outside world is hazy.

"Nightmare again?"

Fubao wanted to move, but he felt as if he had been pressed down and couldn't move at all.

"Don't have nightmares, have good dreams!"

"Make your own dream!"

With such a mind, Fubao slowly fell asleep again.

……

In the yard of Lao Xu's family, Mrs. Xu finally waited for Mr. Xu and her two sons, together with the county magistrate and yamen officer of the county, as well as the soldiers in charge of city defense.

County Magistrate Zuo Qiu is a good official who does his duty. After meeting Mr. Xu and the jewels in the sandalwood box, he immediately summoned the officials in the county. At the same time, he also called Deng Jian, a thousand families of the town defense forces.

Then, a large group of people rushed to Lingshui village at the fastest speed.

After giving Mrs. Xu peace of mind, Mr. Xu took the county magistrate and others to the back mountain of Lingshui village.

"Surround

Zuo Qiu and Deng Jian gave orders at the same time.

The soldiers of Yamen and Zhenjun immediately surrounded the whole houshanaozi.

Considering that it was late, Zuo Qiu and Deng Jian did not immediately start the search, but just surrounded the scene and waited for the dawn.

As a matter of fact, before Zuo Qiu and Deng Jian led people to come, they all sent people to send news to Fu Cheng and the capital.

If we can really find the tribute that was robbed 20 years ago, it will be a great credit to both of us. Promotion is just around the corner.

Tribute gifts are of great value, but compared with their prosperous official career, they are pediatrics.

It's a question of how to choose between them. That's why they don't know much about Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. They worry that they will try to get rich and kill themselves.

……

The officers and soldiers of the county suddenly appeared in Lingshui village, but they scared the villagers and the people of Lingshui village. They thought there was something wrong.

Guan Laoqi, a village official, asks the county magistrate Zuo Qiu with great anxiety. Knowing that they have nothing to do with Lingshui village, Guan Laoqi breathes a sigh of relief.

Then, Guan Laoqi called together the villagers to help them prepare dinner for the people from the county.

For Guan Laoqi's cleverness, county magistrate Zuo Qiu naturally appreciates it.

However, recognition is recognition. Zuo Qiu doesn't open any convenient door for Guan Laoqi. He just takes care of something when there is something on weekdays.

What makes Zuo Qiu care most is Lao Xu's family!

Even Zuo Qiu and Deng Jian had dinner at Lao Xu's home.

People in the village are really envious when they see that the old Xu family can get the opportunity to entertain the county magistrate and thousands of soldiers.

It's just a meal, but that's the face of the card!

"Lao Xu's family is really amazing. It's going to be a noble man!"

"Isn't it?"

"It's not the same to smoke from ancestral graves!"

"Why doesn't our ancestral grave smoke?"

"Why don't you burn more paper money for your ancestors?"

"This can have!"

The villagers in Lingshui village are very envious of Lao Xu's fortune, but few of them are envious. After all, if Lao Xu's family really makes a fortune, the villagers will be able to follow him in the future.
