Chapter 429 Throw them out of the valley

Qiao Erhe on the side sneered:

"You are right, this Devil's Valley really belongs to our Qingshui Village! The government has given us the title deed, and this area within ten miles belongs to our Qingshui Village. All trees and creatures in our Qingshui Village's territory belong to our Qingshui Village Yes, do you think we have the right to prevent you from catching bison?"

Ma Dahu choked. He didn't know that Devil's Valley really belonged to Qingshui Village.

At first, I only heard that the government had thrown a group of refugees from famine into the Devil's Valley to fend for themselves, and everyone sympathized with them.

Unexpectedly, the government gave the refugees a ten-mile radius of Devil's Valley.

A radius of ten miles, what kind of concept is that?

Including the entire Devil's Valley, including the mountains and forests surrounding Devil's Valley, all belong to Qingshui Village!

People in Qingshui Village can burn forests to clear up wasteland, cut down trees, and hunt birds and animals at will.

In short, you can deal with all creatures within this range at will.

"I, I don't believe it, don't bluff! How could the government give you such a large piece of land?"

Ma Dahu still argued strongly.

At this time, the guards of the two mansions who were waiting for Qiao Ran to take them to catch the bison could no longer hold themselves back.

A guard from Dingbei Palace stood up and said in a cold tone:

"Believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can ask the government yourself, or even report it to the government. We are the guards of Dingbei Palace, and Miss Qiao is our master's savior. My master sent us to help build roads and houses. We Everyone must be respectful to Miss Qiao, who are you? You dare to shout loudly in front of Miss Qiao."

The guard of the General's Mansion, who was half a step too slow to speak, also hurriedly said:

"Miss Qiao is the cousin of our General's Mansion. Her mother is the daughter of General Zheng who has been lost for many years. She just recognized her relatives recently. My old lady sent us to help build roads and houses so that the eldest lady and cousin They can live in a new house as soon as possible, and my old lady and my wife can often take the young lady to Devil's Valley to stay for a while. You are so brave, how dare you bully my cousin?"

"What? Ding-Dingbei Prince's Mansion? General-General's Mansion?"

Ma Dahu was immediately dumbfounded and couldn't believe his ears.

This, why is this related to the famous Dingbei Prince's Palace and the General's Palace?

Aren't these people the refugees who fled from the remote and barren place of Qingzhou Prefecture not long ago? Aren't they just a bunch of ordinary idiots? How could he get involved with a big official in the capital so quickly?

He stared in disbelief at the guards and servants of the two houses and the people of Qingshui Village around him. Seeing that their faces did not have any humility, but were full of anger, he couldn't help but start to feel a little panic. .

Before Ma Dahu could say anything, the guards of the General's Mansion asked Qiao Ran:

"Miss Cousin, such people are not worthy of your anger. We will drive them out of the valley now. If they dare to step into the valley without authorization again, we will break their legs!"

Qiao Ran didn't want to waste any more time and nodded: "Okay, take these people to the old village chief and settle their wages. Today's payment will only be for half a day. From now on, these few people and their family members They will no longer be employed. After giving them money, they will be thrown out of the valley. From now on, they will no longer be welcome in the Devil's Valley!"

"Yes, cousin!"

The guards of the General's Mansion received the order and immediately stepped forward to arrest the person.

Ma Dahu was immediately shocked when he saw these strong and tall people approaching him, who instantly exuded a fierce aura.

He fell to his knees with a plop and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, it was my ignorance that disturbed Miss Qiao. Please forgive us, sir!"

Several other helpers who had been shouting loudly also knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and begging for mercy, and their intestines were turning green with regret.

They never expected that this small refugee village, this dark and ugly little village girl, would actually be related to the Dingbei Prince's Palace and the General's Palace!

If they had known earlier, it would have been too late for them to fawn over, how could they have dared to choke her?

Qiao Ran waved her hand, not wanting to hear these people's confessions.

Several guards each picked up the six villagers from other villages who dared to go against their cousin and carried them out of the valley.

After taking care of the troublemaking helpers, Qiao Ran glanced at the remaining helpers. Those people quickly lowered their heads and returned to their positions obediently to continue working.

Seeing that those people no longer clamored to follow, Qiao Ran waved her hand: "Leave a few people to guard here, and let the people behind us follow our footsteps later. The others followed me with ropes and sticks." "

So the villagers of Qingshui Village, as well as the craftsmen, guards and servants, all holding sticks or ropes in their hands, followed Qiao Ran towards the hot spring pool.

When she was approaching the hot spring pool, Qiao Ran stopped and asked everyone to stop before she whispered to everyone:

"I have knocked down at least half of the bison with medicine, but there should be some that have not been knocked down by the medicine. Those bison are very alert. We must be more careful later, do not make any noise, and try to kill the ones that have not been poisoned as quietly as possible. The cows were surrounded, and everyone worked together to trip the cows with ropes, subdue them, and tie the ropes to their noses so that they could not run away.”

Dad Shitou also whispered: "We will all listen to Ran Yatou's instructions later. Just do whatever she tells us to do. Don't make decisions without authorization. Be careful not to ruin everyone's good things and let the cows run away."

Everyone nodded or whispered yes.

When they were about to approach the hot spring pool, Qiao Ran made a gesture to remind everyone to tread lightly.

She took the lead and took a few steps closer, using the trees to shield her figure. She looked at the situation on the bison side and whispered to everyone: "Most of the cattle have been drugged, and they are all lying next to a pool. Those who are not next to the pool None of the cows have been knocked down by the medicine, so let’s catch those cows first.”

Everyone nodded silently, indicating that they understood.

Then, under the guidance of Qiao Ran, more than two hundred people spread out and surrounded the hot spring pool.

When everyone slowly approached the hot spring pool and saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp.

So many cows!

There are ten big bison! There were also a few young bison.

Of these cows, only two big cows and one calf were still standing on the grass grazing, and most of the others were lying on the ground.

However, three bison were still happily rolling in a mud puddle, covering themselves with mud and water.

Only Jiu Tou was lying next to a puddle, and some were kicking their legs, as if they wanted to stand up, but their hooves slipped weakly on the muddy ground a few times, and they couldn't stand up at all.

Several villagers were very happy when they saw this, and they went forward to catch the cows.
