Chapter 158 (1/2)

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month. Tian Yuqiao's family had planned to go to the town to see the lights. As a result, as soon as they were going out, they heard the copper bell ringing at the entrance of the village.

The villagers didn't know what had happened, so they all gathered around.

That bell is the rhythm of ”three long and two short”, which shows that something big has happened in the village. Everyone put down their work and ran out to watch the excitement.

”Everyone, I'm almost here, so I won't be wordy. You must remember that there was a fight on the South Mountain...”

All the people around whispered at the bottom when they heard the speech:

”Last time I heard that many people died. No wonder the wolf howling on the Tianshan Mountain was so frightening.”

”That's not why. Our little grandson didn't sleep well that night and cried all night.”

”Last time, the officers and soldiers pulled away a lot of bodies from the mountain. Oh, I was so scared that I didn't dare to open the door.”

Seeing the confusion, the village head coughed and said, ”be quiet, you all be quiet. This time I heard that there was a fight between the two sides on the Nanshan Mountain, and a big man died. I just received a notice from the county that the imperial court wanted to send someone to investigate this matter. Let the people in our village be careful, but don't make trouble at this time.”

”Village head, don't worry. We will take good care of our children.”

”Yes, village head, we're not free to go out and walk around.”

Seeing that the villagers had agreed, Wang Heng smiled and nodded. At this time, Fang Wenhao was also in the crowd. He naturally knew the ”big man” mentioned in the mouth of the village head Fang Cai. He should mean the twelve princes of the current dynasty?

Hehe, I didn't expect the imperial court to send people to investigate so soon. You know, it takes a month and a half to go back and forth from here to the imperial city? It seems that his father still loves him very much. He is so popular.

Wang took several children and happened to meet Gao on his way back.

”Oh, my second brother and sister, are you wearing a pure silver hairpin? Tut Tut, it's really different. It's estimated that this one is worth several liang of silver?”

Seeing that Wang's face was a little embarrassed, Tian Yuqiao quickly stepped forward and came to the middle of the two men. He smiled back and said to Gao: ”aunt, is the silver for selling pork five Liang or six liang?”

As soon as Gao heard this, he didn't want to continue to discuss the problem of the silver hairpin on Wang's head, but picked up his pace. This time she sneaked out to watch the excitement. When she came back late, she was found by Li, and she had to be scolded again.

Three days later, I saw Yuanji outside running back in a panic and immediately closed my door.

”Mom, no, the officers and soldiers are coming.” Yuanji said with lingering fear.

The group of people all rode tall horses. It seemed that they saw someone along the way. They all felt like they killed the ”noble man”. Fortunately Yuanji ran fast, otherwise I'm afraid I won't come back.

”Didn't you go up the mountain to see Zhou lame? How could you meet officers and soldiers?” Tian Yuqiao wondered.
