Chapter 434 I want them all!

At noon, Qiao Ran went to the cowshed, applied medicine to the injured cow, and fed her some spiritual spring water.

The old village chief had ordered the villagers to lock the Qiao family's cow and calf in a separate cowshed, next to the Qiao family's two horses.

After the escape, Qiao Ran wanted to return the carriage sent by the Wu family to the Wu family, but the Wu family refused to take it, saying that they wanted to repay Qiao Ran's kindness. Without Qiao Ran, the Wu family would probably have to take it. If they break up, there will be no Wu family now.

After all the rejections, the Qiao family could only accept the carriage.

The Qiao family's stable is next to the Wu family's. When Qiao Ran feeds the horses with Lingquan water, she also feeds the Wu family's two horses, so the horses from both families are fat and strong. , shiny and smooth.

After the injured cow was given medicine and drank the spiritual spring water, the injury on its back healed very quickly. The scabs have now begun to form, and it is estimated that she will be able to work in the fields in a few days.

The calf drank the water from the spiritual spring. It was still trembling when walking yesterday, but now it can walk steadily and can run and jump happily.

A calf is a young bull. It will definitely be stronger and more powerful than a cow when it grows up, making it a good helper in work.

The villagers were grateful that Qiao Ran allowed them to have so many cows at once, so they all helped the Qiao family feed the cows and horses. There were a lot of fresh grass piled in the Qiao family's cowsheds and horse sheds, which made Xue Xue want to go there. The few people in the northwest and southeast who were cutting grass to feed the cattle were a little depressed.

Qiao Ran comforted her younger brothers with a smile: "Are you still afraid that you will have no work? In a few days, the two ponds will be dug, and I will start to release small fry. You will be busy in the future."

Qiao Dong and others were very happy after hearing this: "It's better to be busy! Now that we are studying in the school, we can't help with the work at home, and we feel very unhappy. If we can help cut the grass and feed the fish, at least it will be helpful. We are not afraid of hard work at home."

Qiao Ran smiled and nodded: "Well, sister knows that you are all good children! Don't worry, you study hard and you will definitely be able to help your family in the future."

The younger brothers all nodded, saying that they would study hard and help the family as much as possible after school.

Early the next morning, Qiao Ran tied up her carriage and prepared to enter the city.

When she arrived at the city gate, Qiao Ran was stopped and asked to check her household registration.

Qiao Ran was from Devil Valley, so she would definitely not be able to enter the city with this household registration, so she could only take out the jade pendant given by Mo Beihan.

When the guards at the city gate saw that it was the jade pendant of Prince Dingbei, they thought of the Demon King Hun-shi who had already returned to the capital. How could he dare to stop her?

Qiao Ran entered the city smoothly, but she still felt a little depressed.

I don’t know when the Goutong judge will revoke the rule that people from Devil Valley are not allowed to enter the city. Now I can take the jade pendant given by Mo Shizi and enter the city, but what if the villagers want to enter the city after a while?

She was thinking about whether she should ask her grandma to come forward and ask Najia Tongjian to revoke this bullshit regulation in the name of the General's Mansion.

But none of the men in the General's Mansion were at home, and Qiao Ran didn't want her grandma to show up.

A small magistrate general is not qualified to let the old lady of the general's palace come forward to negotiate.

Just when Qiao Ran was worried, she heard good news when she entered the city.

"Have you heard? Jia Tong was found out by people from Dali Temple for bending the law for personal gain, preying on the common people, and causing many deaths. He has committed many crimes and has been sent to prison."

"Hey! Who else in the capital doesn't know this? I heard that he has accepted bribes and exploited people and some petty officials over the years. The amount of gold, silver and jewelry that can be found illegally over the years is amazing, but he If you can’t hand over the stolen goods, you say it was stolen from your home and all the gold, silver and jewelry were stolen, who would believe this?”

"Isn't that right? This Jia Tongpan's appetite is really big. I heard that the gold, silver and jewelry can be piled up into a mountain. With so much stolen goods, I definitely don't dare to keep them all at home. Who knows where he is hiding? Dali Temple is tracking down Where are those stolen goods going?”

"I just heard from my master today that Jia Tongpan also confessed his immediate boss, the prefect. The emperor has ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly! Do you think the prefect will also..."

"Shh! Keep your voices down! This matter has nothing to do with us young men. We just buy for the master and receive monthly silver to support our family. No matter what his superiors do, we won't follow him anyway. What does our relationship have to do with each other?"

"Hey, what you said is wrong! The higher-ups are unfair and honest, so we people will suffer!..."

Qiao Ran, who was queuing up at the entrance of the grain store, saw with keen eyes a few people dressed as servants standing together and whispering not far away.

Their voices were very low and others could not hear them. However, Qiao Ran's ears were so strong that she could hear those people's words clearly.

Jia Tongpan was investigated by people from Dali Temple? And he has already confessed to the prefect Wang?

Why did this happen so suddenly?

She had only been away from the city for a few days, and such a big thing happened?

It’s not just a day or two that Jia Tongpan and Wang Zhifu have been bending the law for personal gain. How come no one investigated it before, but suddenly discovered it now?

Qiao Ran couldn't figure it out, but since Jia Tongfan, who had made things difficult for the people of Qingshui Village, was in jail, this was great news for herself and the people of Qingshui Village.

How great it would be if the prefect Wang was also found guilty and imprisoned!

Qiao Ran thought, and her mood suddenly became very happy.

The queue to buy grain soon came to Qiao Ran's turn. When she said she wanted to buy glutinous rice, the people in the grain shop thought she was just here to buy a few kilograms to make cakes. They opened a grain bag and took a small bucket to prepare. Go and measure the rice.

"Little girl, how many buckets of glutinous rice do you want? Have you brought a grain bag?"

Seeing that there was less than half of the bag of glutinous rice left, Qiao Ran said, "I want a lot. How many glutinous rice are there in your shop? I want them all!"

"Both of them?"

The boy raised his head and looked at the little girl uncertainly: "This is not a place for you to joke. There is a lot of glutinous rice in our grain store. You can't afford it. Tell me, how much do you want to buy? Is half a bucket enough?"

Seeing that the boy didn't believe him, Qiao Ran took out two silver ingots from the bag and said, "I want all the glutinous rice you have!"

When the boy saw that she really took out so much money, he must have really wanted to buy it, so he hurriedly called the shopkeeper.

What the shopkeeper saw was a little girl wearing fine cotton. Although she was dark, she had pretty good features. He thought she must be a little girl from a wealthy family, but he didn't understand why a little girl was sent to buy rice. Ordinary people They all send servants.

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face: "Girl, how much glutinous rice do you want to buy? We still have five bags of glutinous rice in the shop, weighing six to seven hundred kilograms. Are you sure you want to buy so much glutinous rice? Think about it, girl, did you hear correctly? Following the master's instructions, we don't want to buy glutinous rice, but japonica rice, or not rice at all? What we sell is grain. To prevent anyone from stumbling upon it, once the grain is sold, it will not be returned or exchanged. Girls should find out first before buying. .”

The shopkeeper kindly advised him that he didn't want the girl to buy so much glutinous rice back. If her master was not glutinous rice at all, it would be troublesome to return the goods.

Qiao Ran said impatiently: "Yes, I'm sure! What I want to buy is glutinous rice, the more the merrier, please move it out and weigh it quickly!"
