After listening to Ah Li's story, the hunters surrounding him were already sighing and lamenting.
Ah Li also sighed heavily: "If dad is still here, he will definitely know how to resolve this matter."
"I am so useless that everyone is forced into a dead end with me, but there is nothing they can do!"
Others quickly comforted: "Li Yatou, why do you need to blame yourself?"
"It's all thanks to your father that you guys have been able to spend so many years peacefully in the mountains!"
"Your father must have his reasons for choosing to entrust us to you!"
"We all believe in you!"
When Song Huan heard this, he also frowned fiercely.
"They say that all the people in your An Ning area are bandits, but I know that this matter will never be that simple."
"If that's the case, how could you be so resistant to the construction of the Tea Horse Temple?"
"Tea Horses?" Ali seemed to have heard this word for the first time, "What is Tea Horses?"
Liang Yuanqiao on the side was very surprised: "You don't know Tea Horse?"
Everyone’s heads shook like rattles: “I’ve never heard of it!”
Ah Li slapped her head: "Some time ago, the government sent people to shout at the bottom of the mountain, saying that we should cooperate with the court and come down the mountain obediently."
"At that time, I just thought that the stinky county magistrate was trying to trick us, so I didn't take it seriously!"
"Is this the Chamasi he is talking about?"
Song Huan frowned: "How can Tea Horse be built on a mountain?"
"I think the area just entering the city gate is very stable, so it is suitable for building the Tea Horse Division."
"The county magistrate sent a message asking you to come down from the mountain. I'm afraid he is just using this matter to take the opportunity to take back the mountain!"
Ah Li couldn't help but be extremely angry when she heard this.
"This stinking county magistrate... is simply shameless!"
"If he doesn't push us common people to a dead end, I'm afraid he will never give up!"
"Brothers, can we bear it?"
"Can't bear it!"
After hearing this, everyone picked up the thing in their hands and planned to go down the mountain immediately to fight the government to the death!
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
Song Huan was startled and immediately stood up to stop the angry Ah Li.
"Are you really going to fight violence with violence and go against the government?"
Ah Li said angrily: "They are too bullying!"
"If we wait until after the new year and the imperial court sends officers and soldiers to suppress it, we will have no chance of survival!"
"If we resist now, we can at least get a chance of survival, right?"
With that said, Ah Li planned to rush down the mountain again.
Song Huan was helpless: "You can win a chance of survival now, but then what?"
"Do you really want to give up An Ning, the land where you have lived for generations, and become a refugee?"
"I see that you have three or five-year-old children here. Do you plan to let these children live a life of no fixed abode since childhood, wandering around and begging for a living?"
Hearing this, Ah Li couldn't hold on any longer.
As if the tight string suddenly broke, she immediately squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
"Then what can I do? I'm desperate too!"
"If you don't give it a try now, in a while, you will have to sit back and wait for death, holding each other together and waiting for death!"
"I don't want this either...I'm also very sorry to everyone..."
Looking at Ah Li who was crying heartbrokenly, everyone's eyes were moist.
She is just a child!
Those thin shoulders really carry too many things!
Song Huan sighed lowly, stretched out his handkerchief and handed it to Ah Li.
"do not Cry."
"Remember what I said at the beginning?"
"I said, no matter what problems you have here, I can come forward to solve them for you!"
Ah Li looked up at Song Huan and said with a tearful tone: "Brother, you and the sister just now are both good people."
"We understand your thoughts!"
"Go down the mountain before it's too late."
"Don't come to An Ning again!"
Seeing that Ah Li was already filled with despair, Song Huan revealed the truth.
"We are the imperial envoys who were ordered to come to An Ning. The court has heard about your situation, so they sent us here specially."
"Now that we have understood your plight, when we return to Beijing this time, we will take the Anning County Magistrate with us!"
"So don't worry, these lawless county magistrates will never force you to the mountains again!"
Everyone was so surprised when they heard this!
Ah Li's eyes widened even more: "You said... you are an imperial envoy?"
"This is impossible!"
"Are you really lobbyists sent by the county government, trying your best to persuade us to come down?"
Seeing that Ah Li was full of suspicion, Song Huan had no choice but to wave to Liang Yuanqiao.
"Master Liang, show your imperial envoy's order to Miss Ali!"
Liang Yuanqiao did not dare to delay, and quickly showed the shining golden imperial order as Song Huan said.
Most of the hunters couldn't read, and Ah Li could only barely recognize a few big characters.
Seeing that the imperial envoy's order was extremely valuable, she knew that this elder brother was not deceiving her!
"you……"
"Brother...oh no, sir!"
"Are you really an imperial envoy?!"
"You don't know how long we have been waiting for you!"
Ah Li was like a drowning man who finally found a life-saving straw. His knees softened and he knelt down.
As soon as Ah Li knelt down, all the hunters behind him also knelt down.
Song Huan quickly helped Ah Li up.
"Don't worry, Miss Ali. I have brought more than a hundred guards with me just to keep you safe."
"Early tomorrow morning, we will immediately take the county magistrate into custody and return to Beijing."
"Everything he does will be punished as he deserves!"
Ah Li was so excited that she burst into tears when she heard this.
"Sir, we have been waiting for this scene for too long!"
"We are willing to cooperate with the adults in handling the case. As long as you give the order, we are willing to cooperate fully!"
This was what Song Huan was waiting for, and he immediately said: "Speaking of which, there are really two things that require your cooperation."
"The first is to fully cooperate with the imperial court and build a tea and horse division in the county."
"The second is to allow me to leave a team to mine underground mineral resources."
"But don't worry, neither of these will occupy the entire mountain."
"When the time comes, hunters can still continue hunting when it's time to hunt."
"You should live a normal life!"
"There will be absolutely no impact!"
Ah Li immediately agreed.
"no problem!"
"As long as the government no longer disturbs our lives, we are willing to cooperate no matter what they do!"
Song Huan was worried about the problems along the way, but he didn't expect them to be solved so smoothly.
He looked at Lu Qianxue with gratitude: "Thanks to you for following me, I was able to gain the trust of the people so quickly."
"If not, I don't know what to do!"
Lu Qianxue smiled playfully: "As long as Brother Huan can remember my kindness, then I will be satisfied!"
