Chen Yiqing looked at Li Mingren from the side, his brows frowned slightly, and suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, which made people shivered.

"Thank you all tonight, I'll invite everyone to drink when I go back." Li Mingren suddenly said loudly, and everyone seemed to have already drunk the wine and agreed loudly.

"Okay, you should be on duty and you should be on duty."

Chen Yiqing: "Sir, do you want to call everyone here to interrogate them?"

Li Mingren shook his head: "No need. If there is really something abnormal in the village, it will disappear when we come to save people. The place where people saved people is not far from the place where weapons are hidden. If there is any movement, it is not our turn to find those weapons. You can first look at those letters to see if you can find some clues."

Chen Yiqing: "Yes, sir."

Chen Yiqing sat down and took out the bag in his arms and spread it out to look at it one by one. At this moment, Li Mingren only felt his feet cold and kept paced back and forth next to Chen Yiqing. After all, it was someone else's ancestral hall, so Li Mingren couldn't make a fire in it privately, so he could only endure the coldness.

When the village chief came back with the two officers, there were a few more people behind him, each holding a basin in his hand, and the two officers also carrying firewood on their backs.

"Sir, I asked everyone to bring a few braziers to get warm." Luo Damu said as he started lighting the fire in the brazier.

Li Mingren: "Then I'll trouble the village chief."

"Hey, it's okay, sir."

The two officers reported to Li Mingren about the results of going to the village to count the number of people. Everyone in the village was there, and no one left home.

Li Mingren nodded: "Okay, everyone should stare at it to avoid other noises."

Luo Damu had already lifted several braziers, but suddenly got swept by the fire in the brazier and thought of something that happened a few months ago.

"Sir, I have something to report." Luo Damu came forward and said.

Li Mingren: "What's the matter?"

"A few months ago, when I took everyone up the mountain to hunt, a group of wild boars rushed out and dispersed the hunting team. I was chased by wild boars all the way to the north, which was the one where the adults sent to patrol. I always felt like I heard movements in the forest, like a hurried footstep. When I tried to follow and find out, the sound disappeared. Later, because the boars were too loud, I didn't follow anyone else around me at that time, so I quietly retreated for safety."

"How many months will it be?"

Luo Damu said: "It's late spring, early May. We don't go to hunt there on weekdays. One reason is that the forests are deep and the road is difficult to walk, and there are still few preys. You can reach Motong County in less than a day after walking along the forest, which is closer than when we go to the county."

Li Mingren: "Where does it lead to Motong County?"

Luo Damu: "Yes, sir."

Li Mingren: "Do you have any other discoveries?"

Luo Damuzai passed his mind carefully and then swayed like a rattle: "Sir, I really haven't noticed anything else."

Li Mingren couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Damu's serious appearance, "Okay, let's go back first. If anyone else in the village knows other news, you can report it. Once it is a useful news for us, and the news has made merits in the follow-up of the incident, I will reward me on my merits, perhaps it is a reward that is exempted from one year of corvee."

Chen Yiqing and Luo Damu shouted at the same time: "Sir!"

But the former looked shocked, while the latter was surprised.

Li Mingren waved his hand to Chen Yiqing, looked at Luo Damu with a smile, and continued, "Of course, if anyone randomly fabricated fake news for the exemption of labor quota, then village chief Luo, you can think about whether you can afford to punish the crime of deceiving and spreading rumors at that time."

Luo Damu was happy for a while and wanted to ask if the information he just provided just now counted. As a result, he immediately felt bitter when he heard these words, and only responded: "Yes, sir. I will not falsely report the news, nor will I let everyone cover the news!"

Li Mingren nodded and waved his hand and asked Luo Damu to go back.

"How is it, what did you find?" Li Mingren asked Chen Yiqing.

Chen Yiqing nodded and said, "I seem to have seen this handwriting. I forgot who it is. I think I must have read it in the county government letter."

Lee Myung-ren: "Then go back tomorrow and look around."

Chen Yiqing: "Then how to arrange this?"

"Leave a pair of people here to stare."

Chen Yiqing nodded in understanding, Li Mingren sat next to the brazier, and no one could sleep tonight.

It was dawn, and it didn't snow last night, it was just a bone-broken cold, and the brazier couldn't stand the cold.

Li Mingren led the team to return to the county government office, and Zhao Yuncheng naturally followed. The brothers who were following him were arranged to go to the farmer's house like two doctors. Everyone had already taken off their clothes and changed into the villagers' clothes and mixed in to observe secretly.

The team came back before the city gate was closed, and Li Mingren asked everyone to go home to rest first. After spending two days outside, they didn't sleep well or eat well. Zhao Yuncheng followed Li Mingren and returned to the county yamen courtyard together.

When Li Mingren entered the door and saw Wang, he asked, "Mom, where is Yunlan?"

Ruiwen spoke quietly beside him: "Dad, can't you see me?"

Li Mingren then smiled and looked at Ruiwen: "Oh, daddy, come and hug me, tell me where your mother is?"

Ruiwen couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but his father cared about his mother and had to say, "Mom is in the yard. She said she was tired of sitting and wanted to go for a walk. I'm here to get my mother's cloak."

"Ruiwen is becoming more and more sensible now. Take the cloak and we will go to find your mother."

Wang looked at Li Mingren with a sloppy look and couldn't help but dislike him, and said, "It's better to change your clothes first."

Only then did Li Mingren remember that he had not washed up. It would be bad if he had some dirty things on his body and was contaminated with Yunlan.

"Wow, Dad, you hugged me before you even changed your clothes. I said why I was so tired of touching it."

Li Mingren smiled: "Then Ruiwen will go to the bathroom with his father. Please give Yunlan a cloak."

Ruiwen was a little angry. When his father came back, he disrupted the time he spent with his mother. He hummed and left with Li Mingren.

Wang shook his head helplessly and took his cloak to the garden.

"Mom, it sounds like Mingren is back?" Zhao Yunlan happened to meet Wang who was delivering her cloak all the way.

Wang: "Yes, come and put it on. He went to wash and come over for a while."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, and let Wang stay with her for a while before returning to the main courtyard to prepare for He Hua to have a meal.

After washing up, Li Mingren and his son hurried to the garden. Chunxiang, who happened to pass by, wanted to stop them and they couldn't wait. When they arrived at the garden, they saw that the father and son were empty and could only stare at each other.

Zhao Yunlan had a good meal when she cooked tonight. She listened to Ruiwen's bad words about her father while eating. She had a great time after a meal.

After dinner, the family gathered in the main hall. Li Mingli reported on the situation of going to see the land today. Originally, because it was snowing and she was pregnant, Zhao Yunlan only put the matter of buying the land on hold. But now that Li Mingli is in Shiyang County, one more helper can naturally get busy.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to start the school first and then buy the land around the school together, which would also facilitate Li Mingren to build roads and attract investment in the later stages. Not only did he run the school land, but he also had to buy some land to grow some grain.

"Mingli, you can also look at the land we use to plant. If there is a suitable one, take it down, so that your own farm can be managed."

Li Mingli nodded: "I understand, sister-in-law."

Li Mingren listened to the third brother talking to Yunlan all night, but he didn't even interrupt himself. At this moment, he finally found an opportunity and said, "Okay, it's getting late, everyone should take a break soon!" Li Mingren wanted to go back to his room early to talk to Zhao Yunlan for some private conversation.

Mrs. Wang knew her son's scruples and said, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Ruiwen was interrupted at this moment: "I want my mother to tell me bedtime stories."

Li Mingren wanted to beat the child, but he didn't dare to take action. He just said, "You are so old that you still have to listen to the story."

Zhao Yunlan glared at Li Mingren and turned to Ruiwen and said gently: "Okay, my mother tells Ruiwen stories, and my father will also tell stories to Ruiwen together."
