After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 381 Excitement

It is still afternoon now. Once the county magistrate and his men arrive, we will definitely make it in time.

Ye Dalang found a few reliable yamen runners and asked them to keep an eye on the Miao family and not let them run away.

Ye Dalang arranged everything and went to find Ye Qing. He was worried about his sister being alone.

After listening to Ye Dalang's arrangements, Ye Qing was still a little worried.

"Brother, do you think the Lin family will protect the Miao family?"

Ye Dalang pondered for a while and said, "It shouldn't be possible. Small matters can be covered up, but if this involves a child, as long as the Lin family dares to speak out, they will definitely be spurned by the entire Great Zhou."

Ye Qing thought about it and it seemed to be true. Once this incident broke out, the Lin family would definitely distance themselves from it as soon as possible.

After all, concubines are good at business, and they are slaves in the family. Their parents’ family will not have any relationship with the Lin family.

After realizing this, Ye Qing became bolder. Now that he knew the background of the human trafficker, all he had to do was catch him.

We can do something about this matter, but of course we can't push Ye Dalang out.

Once things calm down, the Lin family will definitely take revenge.

They can’t eat such a large portion, but they can still drink some soup with it.

Boss Ye didn't dare let his sister go home alone because the dock was too dangerous.

After Ye Laosan came back, Ye Dalang returned to the yamen and took people to inspect the dock in person.

Ye Lao San was also very angry when he heard what Ye Qing said.

Now that they have discovered this, they can't just ignore it. With so many children missing, their families will be so worried.

"Qingya, what are your plans?" Ye Laosan didn't know how to save the child.

"I have sent someone to give a message to Uncle Six. Those boxes will definitely not move today. We still have time to plan." Ye Qing saw that Ye Dalang had not moved for several years and wanted to help him move around.

Ye Laosan was not familiar with official affairs and could not help with any advice.

"Uncle San, I don't think the government alone can solve the problem. Once the Miao family finds out, they will just snatch a few boxes and run away. We will definitely not be able to stop them."

Ye Laosan thought about it and realized that it was true. Some people in the yamen were leading others to perform corvee labor, and there were few people who could be used in the yamen.

Ye Laosan became anxious, "What should we do? They will leave tomorrow, and the children will be dizzy all the time, and their bodies can't bear it."

Ye Qing calmly analyzed, "This matter will definitely be sought help from the garrison, and Lord Fan will bring people here. But I'm afraid the county magistrate doesn't dare to offend the Lin family, so he will go to the garrison later, and then he won't protect the Miao family. When the people from the garrison come, the Miao family's boat will have already left."

When Ye Laosan thought about that scene, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

After Lord Wu was promoted, the county magistrate who came was a man of average ability and who loved money. It was very likely that he would first inform the Miao family and then ask for silver.

"Qingya, what should we do? We can't just ignore this." Ye Laosan was so anxious that he was pacing in the room.

Ye Qing had an idea. He walked to Ye Lao San and whispered his plan in his ear.

"That's great. I'll send a letter to the village right away and ask them to do it quickly." Ye Laosan asked Ye Qing to write down the plan and found a boy from the Ye family to go back and deliver the letter to the head of the village.

Ye Qing carefully recalled the scene he had discovered.

When Lord Fan comes, she will say that it was Ye Dalang who discovered the matter. She doesn't want to be famous.

Ye Erlang also got the news and came to see Ye Qing, worried that she was frightened.

Ye Qing is now full of excitement. So many people have been caught. This is such a great achievement.

Ye Erlang stayed with Ye Qing for a while, then was called away again. Ye Dalang asked him to help.

Uncle Ye’s shop is very safe. There are many people working inside, and they are all familiar faces.

When Ye Qing calmed down, she felt a little bored. The books she brought with her were two books for undergraduate examinations, and they were very boring.

Ye Qing walked to the door and looked outside. Everything was normal and he didn't see anything special.

Ye Qing said to Guizi, "I'm going to the bookstore. Tell my brother when he comes."

"Qingya, you stay here and play. When big brother left, he specifically told you not to go out." Guizi was talking to Ye Qing while recording today's arrangements for the person in front of her.

"It's the same on both sides. This place is not far from the bookstore. It's the same if I wait there." Ye Qing was still very careful. It was only this short distance in broad daylight, so nothing would happen.

Guizi couldn't stop Ye Qing, so she sent her over.

As soon as I reached the door, a man who looked like a butler came in, looking very anxious.

Ye Qing asked Guizi to entertain the guests first, but Guizi disagreed.

Finally, Guizi watched Ye Qing go by, and only came back to continue her work after Ye Qing entered the house.

Ye Qing walked in, greeted Mr. Zhang, and went to the backyard.

In the elegant room at the back, there are various scented teas prepared by Ye Xin for Ye Qing.

Xiaoyan came over and added water for Ye Qing. Ye Qing slumped in the chair, thinking about what to do about this matter.

She now has some ideas, which she needs to perfect.

Ye Qing deduced it once and confirmed that it was feasible before writing it down on paper and discussing it with others later.

After Ye Qing thought about this clearly, he began to worry about the safety of those children.

She also asked someone to pass a message to Dr. Lin, asking him to prepare some medicine for the child.

Ye Qing thought carefully and took a look outside. It was time for dinner.

Just now her eldest brother came over to check on her, confirmed that she was okay, and went back to his work.

Now his brother is in charge of the deployment of the entire dock.

Ye Qing also did not forget to ask Ye Dalang to bring his plan and ask him to help see if it is feasible.

The head of the village got the news and acted according to the plan.

But no one was sent to the dock to help. More than half of the people in the village were missing, and those who were left at home all joined the guard team.

There are many old and young people in the village, so we added two shifts at night.

Ye Qing got up and went out. She planned to eat something first as she was not sure when she would be able to go home today.

She didn't walk far, but went to the wonton stall at the door and ordered a bowl of chicken wonton soup.

The bookstore clerk glanced at Ye Qing when he passed by the door.

Ye Qing also helped everyone in the store order one portion and asked the stall owner to deliver it.

When Xiaoyan heard Ye Qing asking the owner to prepare the wontons, he took this opportunity to tidy up the messy books.

After everything was cleaned up, the stall owner brought over a few bowls of wontons. The wontons were delicious and the shop assistants felt warm in their stomachs after eating them.

Before they had finished eating, the stall owner came over again.

"Mr. Zhang, for these bowls of wontons, do you want to pay with copper coins or keep a record of the bill?" The stall owner is very familiar with Mr. Zhang and is not afraid that he will not pay.

Mr. Zhang took the empty bowl and returned it to the stall owner.

"Our host was outside just now. Didn't she pay?"

It’s no wonder Mr. Zhang asked this. Ye Qing bought wontons for them several times and always paid for it himself.

As Mr. Zhang spoke, he walked outside to see if Ye Qing had forgotten to bring money.
