Ruyi recalled Zhao Cai and Li Qing’s evaluation of Constable Leng and felt that those constables and officials in the capital were really unreliable. He felt that His Majesty should have handed this matter to the secret guards to investigate long ago. He felt that the secret guards were much more reliable than those officials.
The two of them each had their own thoughts and made small talk as they drove the carriage towards Liang Village. Ruyi, Shen Zhong, and the others went down the mountain path in the afternoon and saw the flat field in the depression.
Shen Zhong said to Ruyi, “I didn’t expect there to be such a beautiful place in this depression.”
Ruyi nodded. “Yes! They also took a fancy to the remote terrain in this area and such a large flat field, so they made a nest here.”
“You’re right.” Shen Zhong glanced at Judge Sun, who had been sent by the capital’s government office. Seeing that he also looked surprised, he walked to his side. “Lord Sun didn’t expect Liang Village to be a beautiful place, right?”
Sun Tong was in his forties. He was fair and clean-looking and was gentle and polite. When he heard Shen Zhong’s words, he nodded and said, “To be honest, General Shen, I really didn’t expect such a large piece of fertile land in this cave. ”
Ah Lian and the women stopped what they were doing when they saw more than a dozen carriages in the field.
Yang Liu wiped her body twice and lifted the two strands of messy hair that were scattered at her temples. She looked at Ah Lian and said, “Second Sister-in-law, what do you think those carriages are doing?”
Ah Lian watched the carriage walk towards the village. “It should be the officials. Let’s go back and take a look.”
San Qiao grabbed Ah Lian. “Second Sister-in-law, our title deeds and household registers are gone. Do you think the government office will return our land to us? Will they treat us as accomplices of those evil thieves and arrest
LIS
“That’s right! Will the people from the government office really leave us food and return the land to us like Madam Li said?” The other two also looked at Ah Lian worriedly.
Ah Lian nodded and said, “San Qiao, don’t be afraid. No, Madam Li said that she will help us tell the Imperial Court. I believe her.”
“I believe in Madam Li too,” Yang Liu said.
“Let’s go over and call Ying Tao and the others. We’ll ask them while Madam Li is on the farm.”
San Qiao walked towards the field and thought to herself that it would be great if she could bring a child back with her to the field. Someone would carry on the family line. Even if she died, someone will worship the ancestors.
When the secret guards sitting on the banyan tree at the village entrance saw Shen Zhong coming with his men, they blew the bamboo whistle hanging around their necks. Hu Cheng and Ji Xiang walked out of the courtyard.
When Ji Xiang saw Ruyi driving the carriage over, he smiled and went up to her. “You’re here so quickly? Have you eaten on the way?”
Ruyi smiled and said, “I brought dry food!”
Ji Xiang greeted Shen Zhong and Judge Sun Tong again. Everyone exchanged pleasantries and entered the manor.
Li Yu came out of the house. After Shen Zhong and Sun Tong greeted Li Yu,
Shen Zhong pointed at the two gray-haired imperial physicians and said to Li Yu with a smile, “Madam Li, one of them is Imperial Physician Xu, and the other is Imperial Physician Chen. His Majesty sent them to treat those women.”
Seeing that the two imperial physicians were about the same age as Mr. Wen,
Li Yu smiled and said to the two imperial physicians, “Imperial Physician Xu,
Imperial Physician Chen, it’s been hard on the two of you.”
The two of them cupped their hands politely and said, “It’s not hard on us.” Imperial Physician Xu smiled again. “I’m better at women’s diseases.”
Imperial Physician Chen also smiled and cupped his hands. “I’m proficient in injuries.”
Li Yu bent her knees and bowed. “Thank you, Your Majesty. You’re so considerate of them.”
At this moment, Ah Lian and the others had also arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. They watched as the carriage and officials cowered into the courtyard.
When Li Yu saw Ah Lian and the others cowering, she smiled and waved at them. “Ah Lian, Yang Liu, come in quickly. His Majesty even sent imperial physicians to treat you.”
When Ah Lian and the others heard Li Yu’s words and saw two gray-haired old men standing there with medicine boxes on their backs, they felt relieved.
Ah Lian looked at Li Yu in surprise. “Madam Li, His Majesty also knows what happened to our Liang Village? He even sent imperial physicians to treat us?” The other women also looked at Li Yu in surprise.
Li Yu nodded and said, “Yes, your encounter has been reported to His Majesty.
His Majesty is very angry and sent Judge Sun from the Imperial Magistrate’s
Office to settle you down. He also sent Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Chen to treat you. Go bring out some tables and chairs and let the two imperial physicians treat you.”
When Ji Xiang and Hu Cheng heard this, they hurriedly entered the house and brought out tables and chairs. Ji Xiang said to Ah Lian, “Sister-in-law Ah Lian, come down from the eaves here and wait for the two imperial physicians to treat you.”
Li Yu smiled and nodded at them. Ah Lian, Yang Liu, and the others walked over.
Imperial Physician Chen and Imperial Physician Xu carried the medicine box to the shade under the eaves. They took out their pulses and sat down to treat them one by one.
Li Yu brought Shen Zhong to the secret room, opened the door, and walked in through the tunnel with Shen Zhong and Sun Tong.
When Shen Zhong and Sun Tong saw the weapons below, Sun Tong exclaimed,
“Heavens! There are so many weapons. Are they trying to attack the capital?”
Shen Zhong looked at the weapons in the secret room and felt that more than ten carriages would have to make a few trips before they could all be transported back to the capital.
“Fortunately, Madam Li found out. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
Judge Sun nodded and said, “That’s true. I didn’t expect these people to be so ambitious. They prepared so many weapons near the capital. Once…”
The two of them did not dare to imagine it. Their hearts began to beat like drums. They could not help but worry that the Second Prince still had weapons hidden elsewhere.
Li Yu said to Shen Zhong, “There are still two bandits locked in the cellar. Get someone to bring them back and interrogate them as soon as possible, especially since that person surnamed Chi. He was caught by me and committed suicide by taking poison. Fortunately, I had the antidote made by Sir with me, so I saved his life.”
Shen Zhong said respectfully, “Yes, I’ll get someone to load the car and bring them back to the capital.”
The few of them came out of the secret room and arrived at the granary. Li Yu pointed at the food in the warehouse and glanced at Judge Sun. “Lord Sun, these food were all stored in the farmstead. I hope you can leave a year’s worth of rations for the women in the village and reprocess their household registers and title deeds that were burned by the bandits. Then, give them a certain amount of compensation so that they can rebuild their houses and live and work in peace.”
Judge Sun bowed and said, “Madam Li, don’t worry. I’ll do it well for them.”
Li Yu bent her knees and bowed. “Thank you, Lord Sun. Also, some of them want to adopt children and leave a legacy for their innocent families. Please help them pay attention and choose good people with good character from those orphans to prevent them from having no one to rely on when they grow old.
“Also, please find a few Daoist priests to exorcise their innocent relatives. You can discuss the details with them.”
Judge Sun said solemnly to Li Yu, ‘Madam Li, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do these things for them..”
