The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Father Yang said to Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, my boss came back and told me about meeting you, and we rushed over, but, just..."

Li Yu looked at his embarrassment and knew what he was worried about, so he said gently: "Sorry to bother you, don't worry, I will keep them secret and will not affect your family's safety. If the information is really useful, we will get rid of it later." If you kill those gangsters, the court will reward you."

Li Yu's words were like a reassurance, which made the Yang family's father and son feel at ease. Thinking of Yingtao and the others, the imperial court helped with medical treatment and gave them money, which made them a little tempted.

Father Yang looked at Yang Mu and said, "Third brother, tell Mrs. Li exactly what you saw that day."

Yang Mu nodded, blushed and said to Li Yu: "In the past few years, the wild animals in the woods here have been difficult to fight. Before the Winter Solstice three years ago, my eldest brother and my second brother and I went to the east. It's a big mountain, where there are few people and a lot of prey. We walked on the mountain for several days with dry food, climbed several mountains, and caught a lot of wild animals."

"When I was going down the mountain, I chased the wild thing into a cave behind a waterfall. There was a big rock behind the waterfall blocking the entrance of the cave. The stone was covered with dead vines. It was really hard to spot it if you weren't paying attention. I chased the thing and got in. After entering the cave, I realized that the cave was very long. As I was walking, I suddenly heard the sound of someone snoring, which scared me to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat."

"I quickly exited and talked to my elder brother. My elder brother said that there was a ghost coming from somewhere in broad daylight. Seeing that I was fussy, he took me in again. After I entered, I found that the cave was open."

"There were two men lying at the entrance of the cave over there, each holding a spear. There were two wine cans and some peanuts on the ground. The two were very drunk, and the grunting sounds were made by them."

Li Yu asked: "Aren't they hunters who went up to the mountains to hunt?"

Yang Lin continued: "They didn't look like good people. After taking a quick look at them from a distance, we hurried out and went down the mountain without any delay and hurried home. After telling my father about this, we went back to the house. I haven’t mentioned it to anyone else.”

Father Yang said to Li Yu: "Mrs. Li, our family is an old hunter. We are all familiar with the hunters in this area. The children often walk in the mountains, and they are quite accurate at reading people."

Li Yu felt that the terrain there was somewhat similar to that of the cave leading to Qinglong Village.

Otherwise, large rocks were moved to cover the entrance of the cave.

"I believe you. Please don't mention this to others again. Please remember carefully how to get there. You may be asked to lead the way."

Hearing Li Yu say that he wanted them to lead the way, Yang Yang felt worried, "Mrs. Li, if they find out, will they take revenge on us?"

Li Yu smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I will let them keep it a secret for you."

Father Yang could only hold up his hands and said: "Thank you very much!"

Yang Lin glanced at his father and thought: What else do you mean by asking? We are all here, how can the people in the yamen not let you lead the way?

Father Yang understood what his son meant, but he still wanted to say something because he felt more confident.

Mrs. Zhang said at the door: "Madam, the noodles are ready."

Li Yu nodded and said to Father Yang: "You go and have something to eat first. Think about it. Should you stay here alone and wait for the people from the Yamen to come and go with them? Or should you wait for the people from the Yamen to go? Is your family picking up Brother Yang?"

Father Yang thought for a moment and looked at his two sons, "Which of you will stay?"

Yang Mu said: "Let me stay! I will remember it better."

"Okay." Father Yang looked at Li Yu and said, "Mrs. Li, I'll ask you to take care of me."

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will tell them. You go and eat the noodles first. If it's lumpy, it won't taste good."

The Yang family's father and son followed Mrs. Zhang.

Aunt He smiled and said to the father and son: "There is nothing delicious, so I cooked three bowls of noodles for you. You can eat slowly and don't be polite."

Father Yang looked at the three bowls of soybean noodles and a few side dishes on the table, and said sheepishly, "Thank you, sister-in-law. We're not welcome."

Aunt He nodded with a smile, "You guys use it slowly." After saying that, she went out.

Li Yu went back to his room and wrote a letter, asking someone to call Zhaocai back, and told him the most important things about the Yang family and his son.

He was instructed: "You should ride back to Kyoto immediately and give the letter to the big shopkeeper and ask him to compare it with Chi Zhuangtou's confession. It's best to send someone to investigate."

"Yes, madam." Zhaocai changed his clothes, took some dry food, and rode away.

Yang Lao and Yang Lin said goodbye and left after dinner. Yang Mu stayed in Zhuangzi and waited for Chu Sihai to send someone.

Lucky Horse galloped all the way, and before the city gate closed, he entered the city with Li Yu's letter and handed it to Chu Sihai.

Chu Sihai read Li Yu's letter and found that it was somewhat inconsistent with the position of Chi Zhuangtou's confession.

But all the people around him had been sent out, so he thought he could only ask Shen Zhong for help.

"Manager Zhou, I have to go out for something. You go back and wait for me. I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Zhaocai cupped his hands at him and said, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you."

"Okay." Chu Sihai smiled and cupped his hands, and the two of them went out together and left separately.

After returning home from Zhaocai, Zhou Jia was still working in the study. Yangyang asked him: "Uncle Cai, when will my mother and brother come back?"

"Young Master, you will be back before Qingming Festival."

Yangyang did the math and said, "Oh! There are still six or seven days before Qingming. Uncle Cai, are you still going to Zhuangzi?"

Zhaocai looked at him and smiled and said, "Go, I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Do you have anything you want me to bring to Madam?"

Yangyang shook his head and sighed: "Let them have fun! I'm going to have a rest."

Zhaocai watched him walk toward the room unhappy, and then went to Zhou Jia's study.

Early the next morning, Chu Sihai took four secret guards seconded from Shen Zhong and went to Liangjia Village with Zhaocai.

Seeing Li Yu, the two exchanged a few words. Chu Sihai said: "Mrs. Li, where is the hunter named Yang? Without further ado, let's set off now."

Li Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Ruyi to call him out."

Yang Mu followed Ruyi to see Chu Sihai, and Li Yu said to him: "This is Mr. Chu from Kyoto. You go with them!"

Yang Mu nodded, Chu Sihai smiled and said to him: "Brother Yang, don't worry, we will protect your safety."

"Thank you, Mr. Chu." Yang Mu said with a red face.

Chu Sihai smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's set off immediately."

A group of people climbed up the mountain from the east of Liangjiacun and walked through the forest for seven or eight days before arriving at a steep mountain.

Here, there is not a village or a rice field in sight.

I saw a series of overlapping peaks crowded together. Looking up from below, the mist-shrouded mountains seemed like a fairyland.

Yang Mu stood at the foot of the mountain and watched for a while, then pointed to a slightly flatter place and said to Chu Sihai, "Mr. Chu, that's where we went up the mountain."
