The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn - Chapter 581

   Chapter 581 581 Going up the mountain to investigate

   Dad Yang said to Li Yu: “Mrs. Li, my boss came back and told me about the encounter with you, and we rushed over, just, just…”

Li Yu looked at his nervous look, knew what he was worried about, and said gently: “Excuse me, don’t worry, I will keep them secret and it will not affect the safety of your family. If the news is really useful, wait for it to be eradicated. If you kill those gangsters, the court will reward you.”

   Li Yu’s words were like a reassurance pill, which reassured the father and son of the Yang family. Thinking of Cherry and the others, the imperial court helped to see a doctor and returned the money, which was also a little tempting.

   Father Yang looked at Yang Mu, “Third, tell Mrs. Li what you saw that day.”

Yang Mu nodded, blushing and said to Li Yu: “A few years ago, the wild things in the woods here were not easy to fight. Before the Winter Solstice three years ago, my eldest and second brothers went to the east side. The mountains are sparsely populated and there are a lot of prey, so we walked on the mountain for a few days with dry food, turned over a few hills, and hit a lot of wild animals.”

“When I was going down the mountain, I chased the wild things into a cave behind a waterfall. There was a big rock behind the waterfall blocking the entrance of the cave. The rock was covered with dead vines. It was really hard to find out if I didn’t pay attention. I chased the thing and got into it. After I entered the cave, I realized that the cave was very long, and while I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of people snoring, and I was so scared that I broke into a cold sweat.”

   “I hurriedly exited and told my eldest brother. The eldest brother said, “Where are the ghosts coming from in the daytime? Seeing that I was rambling, he took me in and went in again. After entering, I found that the cave was open.”

   “There are two men lying at the entrance of the hole over there. One is holding a long gun. There are two wine cans and some peanuts on the ground. The two are very drunk, and they are the ones who make the snoring.”

   Li Yu asked, “Aren’t they hunters who went up to the mountains to hunt?”

Yang Lin went on to say: “Looking at their appearance, they don’t look like good people. We took a look from a distance and hurried out. We didn’t dare to delay for a moment. We went down the mountain and rushed home. Tell my father about this, and then we’ll talk about it. I didn’t mention it to anyone.”

   Dad Yang said to Li Yu: “Mrs. Li, our family is an old hunter. We are all familiar with the hunters in this area. The children often walk in the mountains, so it’s a bit accurate to see people.”

  Li Yu felt that the terrain there was probably somewhat similar to that of the cave leading to Qinglongzhai.

  Otherwise, a large stone was moved to block the entrance of the cave.

   “I believe in you, don’t mention this to others, please remember it carefully, how to get there, you may be asked to show the way.”

   Hearing that Li Yu wanted them to lead the way, Father Yang was worried, “Mrs. Li, they know, will they take revenge on us?”

   Li Yu smiled to reassure him, “Don’t worry, I will let them keep it a secret for you.”

   Dad Yang had no choice but to say, “Thank you!”

  Yang Lin glanced at his father and thought: What do you mean by asking this? We have all come, and the people in the yamen can’t help you not lead the way!

   Father Yang understood what his son meant, but he still wanted a word, and felt a little more confident.

  Sister Zhang said at the door, “Madam, the noodles are ready.”

Li Yu nodded and said to Father Yang, “You go to eat first, and think about it. Are you leaving alone here to wait for the people from the yamen to come and accompany them? Or do you wait for the people from the yamen to go? Is your family picking up Brother Yang?”

   Father Yang thought for a while, then looked at his two sons, “Which one of you will stay?”

   Yang Mu said: “I’ll stay! I’ll remember to keep it tight.”

   “Okay.” Father Yang looked at Li Yu and cupped his hands, “Mrs. Li, I’ll take care of you as a child.”

  Li Yu nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll tell them. You go to eat noodles first, it won’t be delicious if you eat them.”

  The father and son of the Yang family went with Mrs. Zhang.

   Aunt He smiled and said to the father and son, “There’s nothing delicious, so I cooked three bowls of noodles for you. You can eat slowly. You’re welcome.”

   Father Yang looked at the three bowls of sangzi noodles on the table and a few side dishes, and said embarrassingly, “Thank you, sister-in-law, we’ll be very welcome.”

   Aunt He nodded with a smile, “You guys take it slow.” After that, she went out.

  Li Yu went back to the room and wrote a letter, and asked Zhao Cai to call him back, and told him the important things about the father and son of the Yang family.

   instructed him: “Ride back to the capital immediately, and give the letter to the shopkeeper, and let him compare Chi Zhuangtou’s confession. It’s best to send someone to check it out.”

   “Yes, ma’am.” Zhao Cai changed his clothes and trousers, brought some dry food, and rode away.

   Father Yang and Yang Lin left after dinner, and Yang Mu stayed in Zhuangzi and waited for someone from Chu Sihai to come.

   Lucky fortune galloped all the way. Before the city gate was closed, he brought Li Yu’s letter into the city and handed it to Chu Sihai.

   Chu Sihai read Li Yu’s letter and found that the location of Chi Zhuangtou’s confession was somewhat inconsistent.

   But all the people around him have been dispatched, and thinking about it, he can only go to Shen Zhong for help.

   “Steward Zhou, I have something to go out. You go back and wait for me, and I will find you tomorrow morning.”

  Zhao Cai rushed to him and said, “Okay, I’ll go back and wait for you.”

   “Okay.” Chu Sihai smiled and cupped his hands at him, and the two went out together and left separately.

   Zhaocai returned home, Zhou Jia was still working in the study, Yang Yang asked him, “Uncle Cai, when will my mother and brother come back?”

   “Master, I will be back before Qingming.”

  Yangyang did the math, “Alas! There are still six or seven days before Qingming. Uncle Cai, are you still going to Zhuangzi?”

  Zhao Cai looked at him and smiled and said, “Go, leave early tomorrow morning, do you have something for me to bring to Madam?”

  Yangyang shook his head and sighed: “Let them have fun! I’m going to rest.”

   Zhaocai watched him walk towards the room unhappily, and then went to Zhou Jia’s study again.

   Early the next morning, Chu Sihai took four dark guards seconded from Shen Zhong and went to Liangjia Village with Zhaocai.

   Seeing Li Yu, the two exchanged a few words. Chu Sihai said, “Mrs. Li, where is the hunter surnamed Yang? It’s not too late, we’ll start now.”

  Li Yu nodded, “Okay, I’ll ask Ruyi to call him out.”

  Yang Mu followed Ruyi to see Chu Sihai, and Li Yu said to him, “This is Mr. Chu from Kyoto. You can go with them!”

   Yang Mu nodded, Chu Sihai smiled and said to him: “Brother Yang, don’t worry, we will protect your safety.”

   “Thank you, Master Chu.” Yang Mu said with a blushing face.

  Chu Sihai smiled and nodded, “Okay, let’s set off immediately.”

   A group of people climbed up the mountain from the east of Liangjia Village, and traveled fast in the forest for seven or eight days before arriving at a steep mountain.

   Here, there is no village or a paddy field in sight.

  I saw the mountains huddled together one after another, looking from below, the mist-shrouded mountains seemed like a fairyland.

  Yang Mu stood at the foot of the mountain and watched for a while, pointed to a slightly flat place, and said to Chu Sihai: “Master Chu, we went up the mountain from there.”
