The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu was afraid that he would be arrogant and complacent, so she warned him, “You’re young. If you encounter someone with strong martial arts, you won’t be able to withstand a single move from him. If you don’t believe me, you can compete with Uncle Xiang.”

“Oh! I’ll remember that, Mother. I’ll go see my brothers before I do my homework.”

Yangyang thought for a moment and turned to ask Li Yu, “When will Brother

Loach and the others come back from the farm?”

Li Yu thought for a moment. “When they have accompanied Uncle Zhou to put the rice sent by the tenant farmers into the barn, they’ll be back in about two to three days.”

“Oh!” Yangyang agreed and skipped away.

Seeing that his footsteps were light and he was really not afraid, Li Yu was relieved. She walked towards the cellar in the outer courtyard and smelled blood when she entered the cellar.

Seeing that Li Yu had arrived, Ji Xiang pointed at the bandits tied to the pillar and said, “Madam, he said that they saw that Eldest Young Master is good-looking and wanted to kidnap him and sell him for a few taels of silver.”

The coachman looked up at Li Yu and begged in a hoarse voice, “Madam, I… was deceived by them. Please… let me go.”

“Madam, spare us. We won’t dare to do it again.” The other person was also begging.

Li Yu looked at the dispirited people who had been tortured by Ji Xiang with a dark expression. She thought about how Country Lord Ning had already been exiled and that her family had never offended anyone in the capital. There was only the Cheng family in Yuezhou who could have a bone to pick. The head of the Cheng family had only been in the capital for half a month, but someone had already attacked Yang’er. Who else could it be other than the Cheng family?

“They look like repeat offenders. Cut off their tendons and throw them out on the street.”

“Yes, Madam.” Ji Xiang walked up to the criminal whose head had been smashed by Yangyang with the inkstone. He grabbed his wrist and stabbed into his meridian, breaking the tendons in his hand. The criminal cried out in pain and fainted.

The coachman was so frightened that he turned pale. He shouted in horror, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Steward Cheng sent us here to kidnap Young Master and sell him far away. Madam, spare us… We were really following orders.”

Ji Xiang glanced at Li Yu, who said coldly, “You were following orders! You even dared to kidnap a child in public. It can be seen that you’ve done many evil things.”

“Madam Li, don’t you want to know what other methods my master will use to deal with you? As long as you let us go, I’ll tell you.” The bandit with his head lowered suddenly interrupted Li Yu.

“What other methods can you use?” Li Yu stared into his eyes and sneered. “It’s nothing more than kidnapping, poisoning, assassination, and setting fire.

What other methods can you use?”

When the bandits heard Li Yu tell them everything casually, their pupils dilated and they stared at Li Yu.

Li Yu turned to Ji Xiang and said, “After cutting off their tendons, get Han San to throw them at the entrance of the Cheng family. Go to the capital’s government office and report the case. Tell them that the Cheng family is going to send someone to set fire to East Street.”

The three of them cursed when they heard that. “Vicious woman, I won’t let you off even if I turn into a ghost…”

“Even if you become a ghost, I’ll still deal with you. If you dare to do bad things, you have to pay the corresponding price.” Li Yu said coldly and turned to walk out.

Ji Xiang punched them each, grabbed a few rags, and gagged them. He took a knife and severed the tendons in their hands and legs under their resentful gazes. Han San came down from above and dragged them out with Ji Xiang.

Han San said to Ji Xiang, “Brother Xiang, let’s call Grandma Liu and Aunt Zhang over and publicize this matter at the entrance of the Cheng family.”

Ji Xiang thought it was feasible. “Okay, go get them. I’ll get the car.”

The few of them pulled her to the entrance of the Cheng family’s house and dragged her down. They shouted, “The Cheng family, come out to collect your people.”

When the doorman saw Han San and the others throwing the bandits at the door aggressively, he turned around and ran in.

Old Madam Liu and Aunt Zhanz D0inted at the three of them and bezan to shout, “Everyone, come and take a look. The Cheng family is heartless. They sent someone to the entrance of the Lin family’s school to kidnap my Eldest Young Master and even said that they wanted to set fire to East Street…”

Han San also explained to the onlookers, “These people went to the Lin clan school today… My Eldest Young Master is just a few years old. Our residence has no grudge with the Cheng family. Just because my Master went to Yuezhou to investigate, they sent people to take revenge on my Master and even wanted to burn down my Master’s residence on East Street. Everyone, how can there be such a vicious person in the world…”

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the Cheng family’s house. Everyone looked at the three people lying on the ground and discussed.

Cheng Sheng did not expect the Zhou family to come looking for him so quickly. When he heard the steward’s report, he was so angry that he slammed the table and scolded, “Useless thing, drag them away…”

Before he could finish speaking, the servant shouted from outside, “Master, the servants of the Zhou Mansion are shouting at the door. They said that you’re going to send someone to burn down East Street. The door is surrounded by onlookers. ”

Steward Cheng recalled Old Master Zhou blocking the entrance of the Gu family’s house at the beginning of the year and hurriedly instructed, “Close the door quickly and ignore them.”

Steward Cheng felt that his Master had done this too rashly, causing the current situation. He turned to look at Cheng Sheng. “Master, what do you think we should do about this? Those three people are still at the door. The Zhou family doesn’t follow the rules. If we don’t give them an explanation, they won’t let the matter rest.”

Cheng Sheng did not expect the Zhou family to be so unruly. They actually let the servants shout like shrews on the streets. At this point, letting them in was equivalent to admitting that the Cheng family had sent someone to do this.

If he didn’t get them in and let them make a fuss at the door, the Cheng family couldn’t even show their faces. People would think that the Cheng family had a guilty conscience. Besides, there were those three people outside. When the time came, they would expose everything… Cheng Sheng suddenly regretted sending someone to the Zhou family before the outcome was clear.

Before Cheng Sheng could think of a countermeasure, someone reported from outside the door, “Master, the Imperial Survey Office sent someone over. They said that the Zhou family has sued you and Steward Cheng and they want to bring you and Steward Cheng for questioning.”

The government office had sent someone so quickly. It seemed that His Majesty would really not let the Cheng family off. Thinking of the child he had sent away, Cheng Sheng felt a little better. He stood up and said to the steward,

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, Master.” Steward Cheng could only follow him out.

When Cheng Sheng went out, he saw that the entrance of the house was surrounded by people. The three people Steward Cheng had sent were lying on the ground like a pool of mud. When they saw the two of them, they shouted for help.

Ruyi, Mr. Qian, and the people from the government office were standing at the door. Seeing Cheng Sheng come out, the bailiff went forward and cupped his hands. “Master Cheng, are these people the servants of the Cheng family? Lord Zhou is suing you for ordering servants to kidnap the Zhou family’s young master. Lord invites you to the government office for questioning.”O

“Master, Steward Cheng, you can’t leave us be. We risked our lives for the Cheng family… ”

“Shut up.” Cheng Sheng shouted at the three of them and turned to look at the official. “Let’s go! I’ll accompany you.”

The people from the government office also brought the three of them to the government office. When they arrived, Cheng Sheng was quite straightforward. He admitted that he had ordered Steward Cheng to send those three people, but he did not admit that he wanted to send people to burn down East Street..
