Only then did Zhou Jia and Xiaoyu see someone tied to the horse. Seeing Zhou Jia's confused look, Li Yu pointed at Manager Ouyang and said, "He was caught on the mountain. The bandits called him Manager Ouyang and treated him with great respect. I suspect that they were sent here by people who colluded with the bandits, and there was also a third master of Qinglong Village who was thrown into the mountain stream after being dealt with."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yuhe Ruyi's tired look and said distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go eat first and have a good sleep before we talk."

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia's eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and knew in his heart that he was worried about his own safety and could not sleep peacefully. He smiled and nodded, "You should also go and take a nap. Look at you, both eyes are bloodshot."

Zhou Jia shook his head and squeezed Li Yu's hand, and looked at Li Yu distressedly, "I'm not tired. You and Ruyi go to eat first. I'll have someone lock him in the cellar. It's not convenient to interrogate that guy in the middle of the night."

Li Yu smiled tiredly, "Then it's not too late to wait until tomorrow for another trial."

"Okay, you eat first."

Xiaoyu brought the food that was warm in the pot to the table, scooped a bowl of chicken soup for Li Yu, and said distressedly: "Madam, drink some chicken soup to replenish your body."

"Well! Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu. You can go to bed later and leave the housework to my mother-in-law."

Seeing that Li Yu was so tired and still caring about her, Xiaoyu smiled happily and said, "I'm not tired, it's the young master who worked hard. He didn't sleep all night last night and didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of food."

Li Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Yeah! I'll let him rest." Back in the room, Zhou Jia had already asked someone to prepare hot water. He led Li Yu to the tub and said softly: "I know you If you don’t take a shower, you can’t sleep. Go wash up and I’ll rub your back.”

Li Yu pushed Zhou Jia out, "I don't want you to rub me. Go get some sleep or I won't pay attention to you."

Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and kissed him, "Okay, I'll go to bed, and you can wash up as you like, and then wash up after you're asleep."

After Li Yu washed up, he returned to the room and saw that Zhou Jia was already asleep. Li Yu lay next to Zhou Jia, his head touched the pillow and fell asleep.

Zhou Jia woke up refreshed and went to the Yamen. Tu Dianshi took the book and said to Zhou Jia: "Sir, a total of thirty Yamen servants have been recruited. When they are eliminated, the number will be appropriate. I saw them standing around doing nothing. So I sent them to clean up the ruins and guard the city gates."

Zhou Jia took the booklet, read it for a while and said, "Okay, you can observe carefully and select the ones who are down-to-earth and diligent. Then slowly weed out the ones who are sneaky and slippery. The remaining ones can be taught by Xu Dong, Ruyi and others." After a few skills of self-defense and enemy control, I also summoned a few people to come over and asked them to go to each village and notify the village chief to take time to come to the city."

Tu Dianshi laughed secretly in his heart when he saw that Zhou Jia had arranged things quickly and was not as distracted as yesterday; his wife was back and he was in high spirits. Tu Dianshi squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."

Manager Ouyang woke up again and found that he was blindfolded and tied to a pillar; where is this? Steward Ouyang pricked up his ears and found that there was no sound around him. Who had tied him up? Could it be Zuo Qing? Won't! He didn't dare. Could it be that the General's private plan was discovered by the Shen family? Was I caught by the Shen family?

Steward Ouyang shouted: "Is there anyone? Come here! I want to pay my respects. Is there anyone?" Steward Ouyang shouted, but there was no one there. He was so frightened that he bit his tongue and committed suicide. My tongue was sticking out, but I couldn't bite it down.

Steward Ouyang shed tears and shouted hoarsely: "Who are you? Why are you locking me up? Let me out,... wuwu..."

As soon as Li Yu woke up, he saw that the sun was shining into the house. He dressed and walked out of the room. Xiaoyu came and said, "Madam, you're awake! The man in the cellar was shouting and tossing for a long time. There has been no movement, do you want to take a look?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry about him, wait until the young master comes back."

"I got it! I'll talk to Ruyi, madam! The burned down areas of the government office have already been sorted out. Tu Dianshi asked the newly recruited government servants to do it."

"Oh! Let's see later!"

Xiaoyu looked at Li Yu with a smile, "You'd better go and eat something first. The young master asked you to eat first when you wake up!"

Li Yu nodded, and Xiaoyu asked Mrs. Liu to bring the food. After Li Yu ate, he went to the Yamen, but did not see Zhou Jia. He only saw Mr. Qian sitting at his desk alone, recording something.

Mr. Qian looked up and saw Li Yu, stood up and asked, "Madam, are you looking for your Excellency? Your Excellency and Tu Dianshi have gone to Shijiacun."

Li Yu smiled and shook his head, "I would like to ask if there is any larger wasteland near the county seat?"

Mr. Qian opened the book of fish scales and pointed to a mountainous area and said: "This is the place. I heard Tu Dianshi say that this place is a barren mountain outside Dongcheng. There are about a hundred acres of barren land at the foot of the mountain, and no one has been cultivating it. How about I show you when Tu Dianshi comes back?"

Li Yu put down the fish scale book and said with a smile: "Okay, you are busy! I will go back first."

Mr. Qian saluted and said, "Please walk slowly."

After Li Yu went out, he looked at the ruins that were being cleaned, and then went back to his home across the street. He thought that the third leader of Qinglong Village was killed by him. Qinglong Village should realize that something was wrong at the latest. If Tu Gang said that he was killed, If he caught it, Qinglong Village would definitely go down the mountain to retaliate. Li Yu walked around the wall, thinking about how to guard against a sneak attack from Qinglong Village?

Yang Wei and Mrs. Zhang came back from mowing the grass and saw Li Yu circling the base of the wall. Yang Wei asked strangely: "Madam, is the wall broken?"

Li Yu saw Yang Wei leading the horse and carrying several sacks of grass, and smiled and said: "It's not bad, you two are back from cutting the grass!"

After Mrs. Zhang bowed to Li Yu cautiously, she took the sack off the horse. Seeing her struggling, Li Yu walked over, holding one in each hand, and lifted the sack off the horse.

Mrs. Zhang was helpless and thanked her, "Thank you, madam!"

Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, watching Yang Wei take away the sack. "Madam, you see these grasses are very tender and dense. Sister Zhang took me to cut them at the foot of the mountain outside Dongcheng." Yang Wei opened his arms and gestured. , "There is a large piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, madam! How about we buy it and open it up?"

"Okay, when the young master comes back, we will buy land and open up wasteland."

Zhang's sister-in-law did not expect that Li Yu would agree to Yang Wei, but she liked Yang Wei's liveliness and cuteness in her heart. She was afraid that Li Yu would reprimand Yang Wei after seeing the wasteland, so she blushed and said: "Madam, it's a mountainous area there, and there won't be much future." of."

Li Yu smiled gently and said: "Don't worry, I originally planned to buy wasteland to open up wasteland. Also, do you know where there is moso bamboo?"

Seeing Li Yu's easy going, Mrs. Zhang's voice became louder, "Moso bamboo! You can find it outside of Dongcheng. Do you need a slave to chop some down and bring it back?"

"Okay, you take Awei's car to cut down a car and come back."

Mrs. Zhang took Yang Wei's cart to cut moso bamboo, while Li Yu went to the woodshed to find a hoe and started digging holes to make traps.
