When Niu Tangtang and Xia Houyu rushed home, Zheng Lu hadn't arrived yet.
Starting from the day before yesterday, Xia Houyu proposed that he and Shen Lang take turns escorting Niu Tangtang. Firstly, to protect her safety, and secondly, he wanted to get familiar with the mountain roads.
"Don't worry, let's do our thing and don't let outsiders interfere with our rhythm."
Niu Tangtang picked up the hoe, called the three children, and went to the backyard to weed.
"Shen Lang, let's fix the doors and windows. The wind at night has been getting stronger and stronger these days."
Xia Houyu looked up at the house, thinking that when he was in better health, he would fix the house again.
The two of them were responsible for fixing it, while Niu Xiaowang chopped the wood. The knife rose and fell cleanly.
At this moment, a rough knock on the door suddenly sounded outside: "Open the door, open the door."
"Not from Yunlai Village."
Niu Xiaowang frowned: "They have an evil spirit about them, they are from the government."
Upon hearing that they were from the government, Xia Houyu and Shen Lang immediately looked on guard.
"Master, you go into the house first, and Xiaowang and I will go out and take a look."
Shen Lang casually put the kitchen knife on his back and went to open the door.
Three people came into view. The man among them had a gentle and feminine appearance, and was wearing a moon-white robe.
Shen Lang recognized him at a glance as Niu Tangtang's ex-husband, Wen Tianci.
As for the two people standing next to him, they were naturally Niu Tangtang's two brothers.
"Brother-in-law, I just said there is someone here." Niu Daqiang looked proud.
Wen Tianci frowned: "How many times have I told you not to call me brother-in-law."
"Can……"
Niu Dazhuang tugged on his younger brother's sleeves and smiled at Wen Tianci: "Master Wen, please forgive me. My brother is good at everything except his hairless mouth. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back. Look, should we get down to business first?"
This bull is strong and knows some rules.
Shen Lang glanced at the three people's faces, and he felt confident: "Who are you three looking for?"
Wen Tianci glanced at Niu Dazhuang, who took out his badge: "We are from the county government. We received a tip that gold can be dug out of the wasteland here. Now we want to search this hospital."
Yesterday, after Wen Tianci came home, he didn't believe it at first, but after walking around the village, he believed it.
Most importantly, he received a letter from his prospective father-in-law the day before yesterday, asking him what political achievements he had made in the county government?
The county magistrate wanted to keep him in the dark, but he couldn't tell his father-in-law, lest the county magistrate would slap him down.
Therefore, Wen Tianci made up his mind to investigate the matter first.
If there is gold, count it as your own political achievement.
If not, you can use this matter to express your sincerity to the county magistrate first. As long as you gain his trust, he will definitely delegate power and let you do things.
"Lord Officer, do you suspect there is gold in the ground in this courtyard, or do you think we have dug gold, so you want to search our room?"
Niu Dazhuang was stunned. Ordinary people would be so frightened that they couldn't speak when they met people from the government. They would do whatever they were told.
As a result, this man actually asked himself.
"It's not your place to discuss government affairs. If you know what's going on, get out of here." Niu Dazhuang relied on his tallness and strength to scare the other party, but he had absolutely no idea that Shen Lang, who was standing in front of him, was familiar with the situation. All the laws of Dachu.
"Although searching the homes of ordinary people does not require relevant documents like searching the homes of criminals, at the very least, you must have the seal document of the county magistrate. If you can get it, I will let you in."
This matter was done behind the back of the county magistrate, so Wen Tianci naturally couldn't take it out.
"What's the seal document? If you don't let us in, it means you have dug up gold." Niu Daqiang, who doesn't know a few Chinese characters, has a bad temper. He relies on the official uniform he wears to show off his power, "If you know the truth, I will dig it out for you." Hand over all your gold. If you don't, I will take you to jail and whip you severely."
Shen Lang really felt that Miss Niu had made a really smart move by sending her two brothers to the government as official servants.
Seeing that Shen Lang was still being considerate, Xia Houyu felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and went to the backyard.
"What? People from the county government? Come to the door so quickly?"
Niu Tangtang looked surprised: "Brother Zheng hasn't come yet?"
"Maybe he's on the way." Xia Houyu was not afraid of conflict with the county government officials, but was afraid of ruining the game that Niu Niu had worked so hard for.
"I'll go out and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
Seeing Xia Houyu's determined look, Niu Tangtang nodded: "Okay, Xiao Wang, watch the children and don't let them run around."
When Niu Tangtang walked to the yard, he saw the three people standing at the door and was happy.
"Xia Houyu, the one in the middle is Wen Tianci, and standing on either side of him are my two cheap brothers." Niu Tangtang sneered, "It seems like he did not do well in the county government."
It turned out that he was Miss Niu's ex-husband. Xia Houyu looked at Wen Tianci carefully.
The momentum is too weak to be elegant.
"Niu, Niu Tangtang, why is it you!"
Niu Daqiang originally took a casual look, but when he saw that the person strutting out was actually Niu Tangtang, he was shocked.
"Niu Tangtang, why are you here?"
Wen Tianci also saw her, looked at Shen Lang and Xia Houyu, and instantly became angry: "Niu Tangtang, so you really colluded with the bandits and stole the Wen family?"
"Wen Tianci, did you read all your books into the dog's belly? You just said they are bandits. How do you know they are bandits? Have you ever seen what a bandit looks like?"
"Then who are they and why do they stay with you?"
Seeing that Wen Tianci was angry with him, Niu Tangtang was happy. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at him with contempt: "I have nothing to do with you now, so you have no right to know what I do or who I know."
In Wen Tianci's heart, Niu Tangtang is just a servant of his family, even though he has nothing to do with her.
He should still be above her.
Listening to her words now, Wen Tianci's face almost turned angry: "I don't care who they are, gold has been dug out in the wasteland in front of you, you should hand over the gold you dug up now, maybe I can spare it..."
Before Wen Tianci finished the last word, everyone saw Niu Tangtang take a slight step and punch him in the eye.
"Niu Tangtang, are you crazy?"
Niu Daqiang shouted and hurriedly supported Wen Tianci who was on the verge of collapse.
"Shut up, if you keep arguing, I'll beat you both up."
Niu Tangtang's loud voice directly overshadowed Niu Dazhuang's: "You dare to threaten me. If you make me unhappy, I will kill you all right now, cut your bodies into pieces and feed them to wild dogs. We are flying far away, no matter how the county government investigates , can’t even be found.”
Niu Dazhuang shuddered, when did Niu Tangtang become so scary?
Wen Tianci covered his beaten eyes and pointed at Niu Tangtang with a trembling finger: "Niu Tangtang, how dare you beat the imperial official!"
