Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 421 Go to report the news

"Girl, this matter is too risky. I am absolutely worried about you going alone."

After thinking for a moment, the village chief continued, "How about...how about I ask your uncle Jing to accompany you to Dongwu Mountain?"

Qin, who was standing aside, said with a worried look on her face: "Huairen, Jing'er..."

The village chief shook his head at Qin, and Qin swallowed the words back before she could finish her words.

An Yue knew that the village chief always sought to be cautious in his dealings.

This time, he was willing to let his son Li Jing go to Dongwu Mountain with An Yue, which was enough to show his determination to help.

"That's fine, let's set off early tomorrow morning."

Qin walked up to An Yue and said with a worried look on her face: "Then when you go out, you must be careful about everything."

An Yue replied affirmatively: "Okay! Uncle and aunt, don't worry, we will be fine."

An Yue turned around and looked at the yard, and said, "Uncle, it's getting late now, and Yue Yue still has to go home to make some arrangements, so I'll go back now."

After saying this, Qin smiled and saw him off as he walked out of the courtyard gate.

At this time, it was already You time.

An Yue walked straight towards home.

I got home and had just finished preparing dinner.

The family sat in the main hall for dinner, and An Yue suddenly said to her family, "Tomorrow, I have to go to Dongwu Mountain."

An Yue wanted to see how they would deal with the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.

The whole family was worried, and sister-in-law Meng Xiuer advised: "Yueyue, the government hates bandits to the core now. If you are caught by the government, what will you do then?"

The eldest aunt also stood up and said worriedly: "Since the bandits knew that the officials were coming to our village to collect taxes, they must have known about the county magistrate's order to encircle and suppress them."

"That being said, what if they don't know? Besides, there are villagers all over the mountain. If the officials really go to encircle and suppress them, won't they have no choice but to die?"

The aunt said again: "But you are just a half-grown girl. Even if you go up the mountain, you can't help them!"

"Don't worry, everyone! This time we go up the mountain mainly to inform them of the news. It won't take long."

"If everything goes well, try to go early and come back early."

Everyone in the family knows that no one can change what An Yue has decided.

......

The next day, early morning.

An Yue and Li Jing each carried a backpack, put on a straw hat, and sat in Li Wu's ox cart to the fork in the road not far from the town entrance.

They got off the ox cart and walked for a long time before finally arriving at the foot of Dongwu Mountain.

An Yue said as she walked, "Uncle Jing, let's try to get back to the village before dark."

Li Jing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Yueyue has to speed up!"

Li Jing walked behind An Yue and climbed up the mountain.

The two walked to the middle of the mountain.

Suddenly, several men rushed out from the jungle on both sides of the road and surrounded An Yue and Li Jing.

"Stop! What are you doing up the mountain?"

Li Jing looked at the five men surrounding him and was so frightened that he quickly protected An Yue behind him and said nervously, "Don't come over here."

An Yue recognized the voice of the person who was speaking. She slowly took off the bamboo hat on her head and replied with a smile: "Brother A Lin, I am An Yue."

The man who had spoken earlier turned shy when he saw that it was An Yue.

He picked at his fingers nervously, feeling surprised, happy, and a little panicked.

"Miss An... Miss An Yue, I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

An Yue looked at Wu Lin and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, A-Lin? It's not a life-and-death separation. How can we never see each other again?"

Wu Lin scratched his head in a daze and asked quickly, "Oh, by the way, what is the important matter that brought you here this time, Miss An Yue?"

At this time, another man standing nearby leaned close to Wu Lin's ear and whispered, "Young Master, do you recognize this girl?"

Wu Lin whispered to the man, "This girl is Miss An Yue, who my father invited to the mountain to treat the disease for us."

The man finally let down his guard and said readily, "I see. Let him go!"

An Yue smiled and said, "Brother A-Lin, this is Uncle Jing who accompanied me to the mountain. This time, I came mainly to discuss something with the boss."

Wu Lin didn't ask any more questions and said quickly, "Okay, I'll take the girl to see my father right away."

Afterwards, Wu Lin winked at the other men, and they nodded in understanding.

"You two, please come with me."

Wu Lin led An Yue and Li Jing to take a shortcut into the village.

......

Soon, the three of them arrived at the gate of the village.

When the bandit guarding the gate saw Wu Lin leading An Yue and Li Jing, he didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Lin led An Yue and Li Jing to the stone steps and said to An Yue, "Please wait here for a while. I will go see if my father is in the hall."

An Yue and Li Jing nodded, and Wu Lin turned and walked towards the hall.

Soon, Wu Wenshan came out with a big laugh: "My great benefactor has come. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

Wu Wenshan greeted him warmly, "Come on, come on, come in."

Several people came to the hall and sat down one by one.

An Yue hurriedly told Wu Wenshan the news that the county magistrate had sent troops to encircle and suppress the mountain stronghold.

After hearing this, Wu Wenshan frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He said calmly, "To be honest with you two, I had expected this day to come."

He gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "This bastard official deserves to die! He is corrupt and licentious. Over the years, he has done nothing but oppress the people!"

An Yue sighed deeply: "Yes! Under various natural disasters, not even a grain of disaster relief food was distributed."

"Thousands of people in Yongchuan County died of starvation or disease."

Wu Wenshan was so angry that he clenched his fists and said angrily: "This dog official has no ability at all. He can only command others to die! If he had the ability, he could do it himself!"

After saying that, Wu Wenshan stood up and walked to the center of the hall with his hands behind his back.

An Yue asked doubtfully, "Boss, is the officer you tied up last time still in the village?"

"When we got to the foot of the mountain that day, I thought about taking them back up the mountain, which would waste our food rations."

"Later, they were forced to strip off all their clothes and leave behind all their valuables. Afterwards, they were slapped several times each and then let go."

After hearing this, An Yue covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "If I remember correctly, the last time they came to collect taxes, the boss also robbed the clothes from the officials."

Wu Lin on the side said unhappily: "We didn't kill anyone, and we didn't set fire to anything. We just robbed them of their belongings, which is not too much, right?"

An Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "No wonder the county magistrate is so angry. Every time the officials come to the village to collect taxes."
