Chapter 112 The truth comes out
“Alright, then I’ll tell Granny Li that you can go back and observe for a month. If you can gain their forgiveness, you can return to the team in Tupo Village.”
They weren't some heinous criminal, so Jiang Mianmian thought it was worth giving them a chance. As for whether they were willing to forgive her, that depended on their sincerity.
"Thank you, Miss Mianmian!"
Yu Tieniu added, "Gou Xingwang and his gang hid the stolen grain at Feng Qian's house. I can testify to that!"
He explained the whole story in detail.
With the evidence now conclusive, Magistrate Ye ordered some men to go ahead and escort Feng Qian's family, while others brought Magistrate Qu and his men back to the camp. He also ordered two men to dig a pit and bury the man.
He said that if they stole their cars, they should all be impounded and killed, but since we're on Hong'an County's territory, we should try to avoid conflict. It's okay if one or two people die.
Jiang Mianmian got into the car. "I'll drive you to Feng Qian's house."
"Quickly, everyone get on the bus!"
Magistrate Ye climbed up excitedly, still shaken, "Luckily, no blood was splattered on it, otherwise it would have been a pity for this carriage."
Shi Yi then stood in the driver's seat, curiously looking at this and that.
"Do you want to learn?"
After a moment of realization, he understood what Jiang Mian meant. "Can I?"
"of course."
Although the person didn't die in the car, Jiang Mianmian still felt somewhat disgusted.
These people had been in the car for so long, and she had already planned to give it up. Instead of scrapping it, she might as well give it to the 'leadership team' of Fengshui County. Among these people, Shi Yi was young and smart, and should be the most suitable to learn to drive.
She taught me while driving, and occasionally answered my questions about the timepiece.
Soon the group reappeared in the area of the Fengshui County camp and then slowly drove towards Qingbao Village.
Village Chief Liu had already ordered his men to remove the barriers at the village entrance.
They drove straight through without any obstacles and stopped right in front of Feng Qian's house.
Many villagers ran out to see, asking, "What is this?"
"It's making a strange buzzing sound, like a big monster!"
"Is this the car belonging to the witch from Fengshui County? Wasn't it said to be stolen?"
Jiang Mianmian opened the car door, "You guys go ahead, I'll show you something nice."
Shi Yi's eyes lit up with excitement. "Is it that video recording?"
"Yes, look, you need to press this."
Magistrate Ye and his entourage got out of the carriage and headed straight for Feng Qian's house.
Feng Qian was still unconscious when his two underlings nudged him, "Boss, wake up!"
"Well."
Feng Qian's arm was in so much pain that he was shaken awake.
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw several people surrounding the bed and looking at him. "Who are you?"
Magistrate Ye didn't care that he was injured. "Carry him out!"
The body was carried out, and Village Chief Liu arrived as well. "Your Excellency, what happened?"
"What's wrong? You should ask him that!"
Aunt Ji rushed forward, her finger almost poking into Feng Qian's eyeballs, "It was him! He instigated Gou Xingwang from our team to steal all our grain by working together from the inside!"
The two team leaders had already opened the doors to Feng Qian's rooms, revealing that they were filled with grain!
The villagers of Qingbao Village, who had originally wanted to speak up for Feng Qian, were all dumbfounded.
"Where did he get so much food? Could he have stolen it?"
Yu Tieniu splashed a basin of water on Gou Xingwang to wake him up. "It was him who forced me to steal grain! Not only grain, but also carts!"
The minibus slowly lowered the curtain, and a dialogue between Qu Bantou, Gou Xingwang, and Feng Qian began to play on it.
This scene was something that not only the people of Qingbao Village had never seen before, but even Aunt Ji and the others had never seen it before.
So much so that on the first listen, I didn't even hear what Feng Qian and the others were saying clearly.
Jiang Mianmian handed the control panel to Shi Yi, "Perfect, put it aside again and turn the volume up a bit."
"it is good."
While reviewing her notes, Shi Yi carefully operated the device and quickly played it again.
Now everyone saw and heard it clearly.
No one expected that the seemingly kind-hearted Feng Qian would have such a face behind the scenes. "Why didn't that hidden weapon pierce his heart?"
"Steal! Is someone else's stuff really that good? And he even called her a witch, I think he's the one with impure intentions!"
Seeing that the food in Fengshui County is getting better and better, they can't help but feel regret.
Take this opportunity to stomp on Feng Qian.
Jiang Mianmian left the mess to Magistrate Ye to clean up, and then drove back to the camp with Shi Yi and the registrar.
The busy work continued until evening, and Magistrate Ye returned exhausted. "Miss Mianmian, the people from Qingbao Village also want to join. Is it feasible to give them points based on 30% of the county's population?"
"Row."
Jiang Mianmian solemnly handed the car keys to Shi Yi, "Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to start the car. I have to go out tonight, and if all goes well, I'll be back within three days. I'll keep enough food for the next few days, and as for other things, we can exchange them when I get back."
All three were somewhat surprised. "The fairy has given you a new task again?"
"More or less, you'll know when I get back."
She pointed to the materials of the makeshift shipping container and said, "Get someone to load it up."
This place should be filled with grain.
Once everything was settled, she drove back to the cave.
If they really don't want to move east, then a road has to be built, or they can be made to dig back along the way. That would make it easier to dismantle the tents and containers.
Upon arriving at the cave, she didn't bother with reminiscing and immediately grabbed Jiu Niang to start discussing things.
She tried to bring Jiu Niang into Peach Blossom Spring, but it didn't work. "I really don't understand what's going on. Jiu Niang, do you think we shouldn't let them leave anymore?"
In my past life, mudslides killed many people, and during periods of extreme heat, even more people died.
In the end, not many people were forced to retreat, which is why they were able to hide in the caves in the mountains to the east.
But now that so many people have stayed, and we can't even get into Peach Blossom Spring, how are we going to settle them down?
Jiu Niang thought for a moment, "Since you are asked to accumulate merit points, we certainly can't just watch them die. The only way is to keep them here. For the long term, we also need to attract people from all directions. Settling so many people is indeed a problem."
"Tents and shipping containers are not suitable for long-term living. Are we going to have to go back to our original village?"
After being flooded for so long, the houses and land are completely ruined. If you want to build a new house, you have to clean up the ruins first. It's better to find a new piece of land and rebuild directly.
"Among so many people in Fengshui County, is the Ye family the only one with a manor? Perhaps, they have some kind of fortified village or something similar?"
Jiu Niang pointed to the large area of land in the mountains to the east on the map, "If it really develops as you and I say, then we, the family, must choose the best location to build the most solid fortified village. Others can build around it in different places. We have a lot of people, so we might be able to finish building it in half a month. During this time, we can only live in tents or containers temporarily."
“Alright, let’s do it your way. I’ll take you to find Old Madam Ye. She might know of any other estates nearby that we can use.”
Jiang Mianmian felt that this was the best solution.
