Today’s lunch was very rich, including a plate of fried chicken nuggets, a plate of cold diced pork belly, a plate of fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, and a pot of mushroom and meatball soup.
But the beef tripe was eaten absent-mindedly, and he even forgot to add the vegetables, only occasionally taking a bite of white rice.
"Dad, after dinner, we will send those people outside to the county government office." Niu Caohua said, and put the chicken breast meat into her father's bowl.
The chicken breast is too spicy and not tasty. Even Niu Xiaobai doesn't like it.
Niu Xiaobai is currently munching on a big chicken leg without raising his head.
"Okay." Niu Dadu nodded and put the chicken into his mouth. He didn't dislike anything he ate. The key is meat.
"Xiao Di, you are going with daddy this afternoon, be smart and know." Niu Caohua originally planned to go by herself, but the broken donkey cart was too exaggerated, so she might as well not go.
What? Use your own mule cart to take people there?
Isn't this a joke? Those people are so smelly that they can't even wash their own cars after contaminating them.
"Some things should be said and some things should not be said. I don't even understand."
"Don't worry, sister, you don't know about me yet." Niu Xiaodi patted his thin chest and vowed.
"The two people who were hit in the eyes probably won't live long. If these two people die on the road, don't be afraid. To tell the truth, they are all bandits with human lives on their hands. Death is not enough." Cherish it." After finishing the last sip of soup, Niu Caohua put down the bowl and turned to tell Niu Xiaodi.
This was Niu Xiaodi's first time going out to do errands, and she was a little worried.
"I know. Ever since I knew they were here to catch me, in my heart, they were all dead." Niu Xiaodi bit the chicken's neck bitterly.
He is not a good man who would show any mercy to his enemies.
He is just a villain, and he will be punished for his anger!
"Those who are slaves and slaves are hanged; those who are slaves are exiled for three thousand miles; those who are wives, concubines and descendants are only three years. These four people are mountain bandits and kidnappers, so it is not a pity to die."
Niu Caohua nodded with satisfaction. The books her brother read were indeed not in vain.
After eating, they simply tidied up. Niu Dadu and Niu Xiaodi covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, and drove the broken donkey cart staggeringly towards the county seat.
*
Shexian County Government.
On the wide official road, a column of silver-armored cavalry with flags flying high was suddenly greeted.
Horse hooves raised dust, and pedestrians on the official road retreated to both sides to make way for the road.
In a carriage on the roadside, an old man put down the book in his hand and looked out of the window. When he saw the flag, his eyes widened and his breath was suffocated. It took him a long time to recover.
A round-headed child in the car looked at the cavalry outside, and then at his grandfather who looked strange. He couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Who are these cavalry outside?"
"Silence, don't ask any more questions." The old man scolded in a low voice, then raised his eyes to look at the cavalry outside, and frowned when he saw that they had begun to enter the city one after another.
"Oh~" The child didn't care after being scolded. He curled his lips indifferently and lowered his head to play with the nine-link ring in his hand.
In the distance, a flag flutters in the wind. The body of the flag depicts a leaping tiger with its mouth wide open and a fierce look on its face. A giant black python is stepping on its feet.
Others may not recognize this pattern, but the old man is not an ordinary person. He recognized it as the Xie family's clan emblem at a glance.
Gentlemen, specifically refers to prominent families who have been officials for generations.
There are many noble families in the world, and the most influential ones are the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Xie is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
The entire family is entrenched in Yangzhou.
There are several high-ranking officials in the court.
It's just that the Xie family members are all in Panyang, so why they came to this small She County is really puzzling.
As the old man was thinking, suddenly, a faint smell wafted in the air, interrupting his thoughts.
"Grandpa, it stinks!" The good grandson suddenly wrinkled his face and covered his nose.
"Who, did you break the dry toilet? Why does it smell so bad!"
"Which one is on you?"
People on the roadside covered their noses and complained.
In the distance, they saw a dilapidated donkey cart slowly approaching, and the stench continued to spread around them. The two people driving the cart were livid and dying.
These two people were Niu Dadu and Niu Xiaodi. They drove a donkey cart all the way to the county town. The two of them were already intoxicated. They were scolded everywhere they went.
The two of them already felt that they were hopeless.
After finally arriving at the city gate, I was scolded by a bunch of people again.
The officers guarding the city gate covered their mouths and noses and stopped them.
"What are you doing? Why does it smell so bad!"
Officer Jia held up his waist knife with a look of disgust on his face.
"Sir, we are villagers from Niujia Village. These people sneaked into our village. We found them and caught them. When we asked, we found out that they were bandits from the mountains who came to our village to abduct children. !”
Niu Xiaodi couldn't wait to get out of the car and respectfully explained to the city guard.
"Sir, these people said they were bandits from Qingfeng Village, so we took a more aggressive approach and are still alive for the time being."
As he spoke, he revealed the leaky frame behind him, revealing the four of them to everyone.
"What, bandits! Kidnappers!" Officers A and B were shocked and walked over without paying attention to the pungent stench.
What?
Bandits?
kidnapper?
Nearby, passers-by who were three feet away from them because of the stench also came around curiously, but they all covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, with different expressions.
"These guys are so ugly, they must be bandits!"
"That's right, look at that big beard, there's a scar on his face!"
"They are so unconscionable. They kidnapped children. They deserve to be beaten to death!"
The crowd of people watching was talking a lot.
"Yes, sir, I wonder how to deal with these people?" Niu Xiaodi replied loudly.
How to deal with it, of course, leave it to the superior!
"Take these bandits and follow me to the county government office!" Official Chai Jia asked Niu Xiaodi and Niu Dadu to drive the donkey cart to the county government office.
"Old Ding, go take a look, what's happening in front of you?" The old man who was in the car saw more and more people gathering at the gate of the city. He didn't care about the smell at all, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"No!" Lao Ding quickly ran to the crowd and joined the crowd of onlookers.
Not long after, he trotted back with a strange look on his face.
"Back to the master, I said earlier that bandits were found, and they were the ones in the donkey cart just now."
"Bandits?" the old man whispered in disbelief: "Did you hear that correctly?"
Old Ding: "No, the boy in the car said that these bandits are from Qingfeng Village!"
"How could these farmers catch the bandits? Could it be that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse?"
The bandits are all desperadoes, robbing homes and homes, and are so cruel and cruel that people are frightened by the news.
It's incredible that a mere farmer could catch a few bandits!
"Quick, let's go and have a look." After saying that, he ordered Lao Ding to drive the carriage to the county government office and gather with the crowd of onlookers.
