Ji Huaiye said nothing else after leaving an unfinished sentence.
Jiang Yao was puzzled, but her attention returned to Ji Huaiye from Mo Hui and asked about the condition of his legs.
Soon after breakfast, Dr. Zhu Rong came and changed Ji Huaiye's medicine.
"Your injury is much better, but you can't move this leg. It's best to press it more to prevent stiffness." After the doctor explained, he left.
"Sir, let me help..." Mo Hui was about to try to massage Ji Huaiye's legs, but he stopped him with a look.
Mo stepped aside and said nothing.
Ji Huaiye's eyes fell on Jiang Yao, and the meaning revealed was obvious.
Jiang Yao said: "Let me press your legs."
Ji Huaiye responded reservedly: "Yes."
Jiang Yao walked over. Her hand looked hard but was actually soft. Her soft little hand pressed on Ji Huaiye's leg.
"How strong is this?"
"Heavier."
"Okay?"
"Um."
Jiang Yao pressed it.
Mo Hui was shocked again. Didn't the adults in his family not only reject children, but also women?
If it weren't for the fact that the face and temperament were exactly the same, Mo Hui almost suspected that the adult in front of him had been impersonated!
When Jiang Yao massaged Ji Huaiye, she secretly wiped the oil on her a few times.
Ji Huaiye has a really good figure, her long legs are long, straight, and very strong.
She secretly went to look at Ji Huaiye, but when she saw that he was unaware, she touched him two more times.
"Okay." The man suddenly said.
There is an imperceptible hoarseness.
Jiang Yao then retracted her hand, left the room, and went out to work.
Only Ji Huaiye and Mo Hui were left in the room.
Mo Huihui reported: "Sir, according to what you said, I checked the county government files and found some useful information."
Bandits roamed the Lushui County area, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes. The local people were frightened when they heard about it. When the bandits came to rob them, they all obediently offered them rice. But how could those greedy bandits be satisfied and even kidnap people?
Wife and children...
The end of every year is the most active season for bandits, and it is also a disaster day for local people.
People are praying that they can spend this year safely.
This mountain bandit disaster also attracted the attention of the government.
In the past, several county magistrates tried to suppress the bandits, but failed in the end.
A certain county magistrate once made bold promises, promising to wipe out the bandits in this area and restore peace to the people.
However, he ended up being stripped of his clothes by bandits and hanged in front of the county government office.
This shows how arrogant the bandits are, and also frightened the magistrate behind them.
Later county magistrates no longer wanted to suppress bandits. They only hoped that the bandits would not do any heinous things during their tenure, and the common people would be bullied and suffered, but they would turn a blind eye.
Some county magistrates even sent money and food to bandits in order to survive their term safely.
Ji Huaiye came to Lushui County and within one month of taking office, five of the ten cases he received were related to bandits.
He realized the urgency of dealing with the bandits, so he handed over the government office to his master and took Mo Hui to live in the mountains to personally investigate the situation of the bandits.
During this period of time, he also found a lot of information.
The bandits are divided into two groups, one is called Qinglong Village, which has about three hundred people, and the other is called Baihu Village, which also has three to four hundred people.
And even if the prefect is persuaded to send troops, they will only send more than a thousand troops at most. However, the bandits are familiar with the environment and have geographical advantages. If the bandits unite, the prefect soldiers are no match for the bandits.
Since it cannot be broken from the outside, there is another way, which is to disintegrate it from the inside.
Qinglong Village and Baihu Village each occupy the top of the hill and do not interfere with each other.
What Ji Huaiye wanted to do was to provoke a dispute between the two villages and make them fight among themselves.
Ji Huaiye had already found out about the leader of the White Tiger Village. He was ruthless and inhumane, so he had no choice but to start from the Qinglong Village.
The bandits in Qinglong Village still have rules and do not rob old, weak, women and children. Although they have committed evil acts, they are more humane than those in Baihu Village.
What Ji Huaiye wanted not to go back to the county office to investigate was the information about the leader of Qinglong Village.
"The leader of Qinglong Village is called Zhao Feidao. He worked as a government servant for a period of time, but he colluded with bandits and was caught by the government. Later, he ran out of the prison, went up the mountain, and became a bandit. This man is enough
He was ruthless enough and eventually became the leader of Qinglong Village."
"Zhao Feidao has done a lot of bad things over the years, and the most vicious one is the murder case. He killed a rich gentry and disemboweled him. The rich gentry's wife and children were not spared either. It was simply appalling.
.”
Mo Hui reported the information he investigated to Ji Huaiye.
Ji Huaiye pondered: "Does Zhao Feidao have any trouble with this rich gentleman?"
After Ji Huaiye's reminder, Mo Hui immediately thought: "By the way, I also found a case file. Before Zhao Feidao was arrested, he complained to the county magistrate that the rich gentleman had robbed his wife!"
"Continue to investigate Zhao Feidao, investigate what happened to his wife, and whether there are other relatives." Ji Huaiye said.
"Yes, sir. But you..." Mo Hui hesitated.
His master has a mysophobia and does not want anyone else to serve him. This is why his master has had no other servants for many years.
Once he leaves, there will be no one to attend to you.
"No problem," Ji Huaiye said.
"Will you trouble that girl? I will take you back to the county office?"
"It won't be troublesome, she is very happy." Ji Huaiye said.
Jiang Yao liked him and was happy to take care of him. She would be sad if he left.
After Ji Huaiye said this, Mo Hui didn't say anything more and left alone to go back to Lushui County to continue the investigation.
afternoon.
Ling Xiao and Jiang Xiaohei are back.
Ling Xiao was carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back.
He was too embarrassed to continue to take advantage of Xiao Hei, so he went out to chop wood in the morning.
It's just that he is lazy and wants to lie down while chopping.
He found a place and sat down against the tree, ready to take a nap, when he saw Jiang Xiaohei cutting down the tree.
The little guy took a hatchet and tried his best to cut off one tree.
Ling Xiao was too embarrassed to lie down, so he picked up the hatchet and cut down several trees.
After cutting it, he continued to lie down.
Jiang Xiaohei struggled to pile the firewood together and tied it with ropes.
His small body tried to carry the firewood, but he was bent over and unable to take a step.
He switched to dragging again, and after a while, he dragged it a short distance.
Ling Xiao was too embarrassed to continue lying down, so he picked up the tree and went down the mountain with him.
It's just that Ling Xiao is extremely lazy and doesn't embarrass himself at all. If he gets a little tired, he will stop and lie down.
Therefore, I didn’t get home until the afternoon.
Jiang Yao looked at the bundle of firewood he carried back, a little surprised, and praised him: "Taoist Master, that's not bad."
Ling Xiao snorted, don't think that complimenting her will make her look good.
"I'll make something delicious for you tonight."
Ling Xiao snorted again, don't think this can appease him.
With that old lady’s skills, what kind of delicious food can this woman make?
Ling Xiao had no hope of food and ran into his room.
"People have to work more to be energetic." Ji Huaiye looked at his back and said with some meaning.
Why does Jiang Yao think that Ji Huaiye is a little gloating?!
It seems that Ling Xiao is in a particularly good mood when he sees his misfortune?
