Chapter 438 Find out the fire
Just like that, the people in Hejia Village who originally wanted to extort money no longer dared to ask for money.
Because of the situation in Yunzhu Village, the people in Hejia Village did not dare to cause trouble directly. They were afraid that the people in Taoxiang Village would do the same as in Yunzhu Village.
Suddenly, a large group of men appeared, and each of them looked ferocious and ferocious, as if they could kill someone with just one punch.
There are indeed some men in Taoxiang Village who have never been out, and even if they have been out, some of them have never been seen by the people in Hejia Village.
Therefore, even if they have reached the gate of Taoxiang Village now, as long as Taoxiang Village dares to resist, Hejia Village will have basically no chance of winning.
They had no choice but to report the matter to the prefect, but the prefect ignored them.
Thanks to He Fang's reminder, Lord Li and Lord Chen quickly understood the situation in Hejia Village.
There are some things that have always been "if the people don't complain, the officials won't take care of it", and this time the fire obviously has nothing to do with other people, so Lord Li and his men don't want to care about it even more.
But in the end, He Zhu, the village chief of Hejia Village, still reported the matter to the government.
Their purpose was simple, either to find the murderer and compensate them, or to get money from the government to help them get through the difficult times.
Lord Li saw them crying while talking, so he had to send someone to go to Hejia Village to check it out.
The coroner and bailiffs from the yamen went to Hejia Village and even dug up the buried bodies for a re-examination.
Finally, it was concluded that the fire started from He Tieniu's house and then spread to other places.
He Tieniu and Huang the Matchmaker quickly avoided his gaze and even wanted to attack Shen Nuo from Yunzhu Village.
She said that it must have been Shen Nuo who saw her acting as a matchmaker for Qin Yan, so this was Shen Nuo's malicious revenge.
This incident spread to several villages, but it soon passed.
However, the yamen runners who heard what Huang the matchmaker said did not believe her. As for the affairs of their Hejia Village, the two adults might not know.
But those yamen runners who often went on duty knew that it was a village of scoundrels who all relied on others.
He must want Shen Nuo and the others to pay compensation at this moment.
The yamen runners were not fools. Instead, when they mentioned Shen Nuo and Qin Yan, they quickly thought of Li Guihua and her daughter.
Sure enough, among the dead were they and their daughter. They had done too many bad things and would be punished for it.
Based on this clue, the bailiffs found out that Huang the matchmaker had treated the two of them as prostitutes.
After all, both of them are good citizens, and what they did is essentially forcing good people into prostitution.
There was no other choice, so Lord Chen had to put both Huang the Matchmaker and He Tieniu in prison.
The truth behind the fire in Hejia Village was also revealed. It turned out that it was all the work of Li Guihua and her daughter, and the fire was set by them.
In this way, the affairs of Hejia Village were investigated clearly, and all the people in He Tieniu's family were arrested and taken to Tianlao for interrogation.
The others went back to where they came from. If they wanted compensation, they could go to Huang the matchmaker's house to ask for it. It would be fine if they could get it.
They had no choice but to go back and look through He Tieniu's things, trying to find something valuable.
Unfortunately, there was nothing, and the government would not give them silver just for this matter.
In this way, the people of Hejia Village lived a hard life.
This is the only piece of land they have here, and they can't leave. They can only build a simple tent with branches and leaves and continue to think of ways to carry out spring plowing.
As long as there is food, they will not give up.
Moreover, the people of Hejia Village have no way out. The government doesn't care about them, and they can't extort money from other people. They can only suffer the consequences themselves.
Shen Nuo didn't pay much attention to the situation in Hejia Village, but Lu Xiaozhu would come and tell him about these things.
"We will build a house here in the next few days. Thank you, Nuoge."
Lu Xiaozhu happily shared what happened in her family.
Seeing that he was happy, Shen Nuo started talking to him, and Qin Ruan and Yu Qingqing were also listening.
Qin Ruan and Lu Xiaozhu are currently living together. They live in the small courtyard next door, but they are actually both in the Lin family.
Lu Xiaozhu was a cheerful person and soon became familiar with Qin Ruan.
"They don't have to go back to Shili Village anymore. They can just build a house on the vacant land next to ours. They have already found someone to help them open up the land."
Yunzhu Village was originally very large, so having one more family here wasn't a big deal. Besides, they were all He Fang's family members, so it was even less likely that they would drive them away.
In this way, the He family prepared to settle down in Yunzhu Village.
It was raining heavily outside.
"That's good. The crops in the fields need water."
After Shen Nuo finished speaking, he saw Qin Yan and the others walking back in the rain.
"Ayan, why don't you wear a hat?"
Qin Yan and Lin Ping had just gone up the mountain and had just returned with some wild game.
And behind them were Wang Daniu and his group.
Because Shen Nuo is here, Wang Daniu and the others seldom come into the main courtyard. They just happened to help Qin Yan carry things in today.
"what is this?"
Shen Nuo watched several people carrying something in. The thing looked like a deer but not quite.
"This is a forest musk deer. Let's release it in the backyard first and sell it tomorrow. There are two more deer in the back. We will roast their meat later."
"So many? We hunted three big ones today?"
Shen Nuo wanted to go over and take a look, but Qin Yan didn't let him out:
"It's raining, Nuonuo, just watch from a distance, and you can eat meat later."
Shen Nuo had no choice but to give up.
The venison was hunted by Qin Yan, Lin Ping and others, so they naturally shared it.
But we haven’t divided the meat yet. We are just waiting to prepare a whole deer feast in the evening and eat together.
Qin Yan naturally had no reason to disagree, so he simply called Lin An and the others to come and eat together.
In this way, a group of people started cooking at Qin's house. These days they saw Chu Che waiting for Yu Qingqing to come out at the door.
Yu Qingqing seemed to have forgotten the existence of such a person. Of course, no one else would mention it in front of him.
In the evening, the men were busy in the kitchen, and some men started roasting venison on the grass in front of the kitchen door.
Song Siyan quietly carried a plate of venison and walked out the door. Others saw him but pretended not to notice.
Shen Nuo didn't say anything. That man was his teacher, and it was Song Siyan's duty to respect him.
What Shen Nuo wouldn't like is if Song Siyan didn't do anything or just cut off contact with him.
The brothers continued to chat and eat fruit in the pavilion.
"Don't eat too much fruit. We'll have meat later. You have to try my cooking."
Qin Hao, who was roasting venison, shouted loudly to the guys here, fearing that no one would eat the meat he roasted later.
"Okay, okay, you better bake it well, otherwise I will give you a bad review without mercy later."
