Chapter 187

Manager Tian ordered the kitchen to prepare the most sumptuous meal so that everyone could eat their fill.

In addition, drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited.

As it gradually darkened, Manager Tian arranged all the people in the village to guard the courtyard wall.

The first watch passed peacefully.

At the second watch of the night, the thin crescent moon also hid in the clouds.

It was a cold night in early spring.

Just as everyone was shrinking their necks and waiting impatiently, they heard a lot of footsteps and low voices outside the courtyard wall.

"hurry up!"

Inside the courtyard wall, Liu Yingyue ordered in a deep voice, "Manager Tian, ​​get ready!"

"Listen to my command. One, two, three, release!"

Boom boom boom boom——

Stones, bricks and pieces of wood flew over the courtyard wall like raindrops and hit the heads of the group of people who were gathered outside.

The group of people were screaming and howling like ghosts.

"Sanlangjun, there's an ambush inside!"

"What are you afraid of? Charge! The men of the Qin family are not at home. There are only a bunch of servants and a few women. Are you still afraid? Crawl over!" someone shouted.

Liu Yingyue recognized that it was Gao Yucheng's voice.

She sneered in her heart, as expected, he came to rob.

"Manager Tian, ​​give the order. Anyone who is caught alive will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Liu Yingyue gave another order.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

After Manager Tian passed the message on, everyone became even more motivated.

Some people even used tricks to lure people in, put them in sacks and beat them up. There were wailing sounds one after another.

Liu Yingyue also ordered Hongzhu and several younger girls from Feng the blacksmith's family to run around the farm holding gongs and drums and beating them hard.

For a moment, people outside the village couldn't tell how many people were lying in ambush inside the village.

In the darkness and chaos, Gao Yucheng and their leader could not be found.

The other bandits saw that they had lost their leader and many of their accomplices, so they were frightened and didn't care about their accomplices who were crushed to death. They just ran away in the night with their heads in their hands.

It was not until it became quiet outside that Liu Yingyue ordered people to light lanterns to count the captured bandits.

"Madam Ying, Gao Yucheng is here!" Hongzhu pointed at a person who was crying non-stop and said loudly.

Liu Yingyue walked over and saw Gao Yucheng, whose head was broken and bleeding. She sneered, "Gao Yucheng, why did you and the bandits break into my house in the middle of the night?"

"Yingyue, I was threatened by you. Please let me go, Yingyue, for the sake of our past relationship——"

Liu Yingyue raised her foot and kicked Gao Yucheng fiercely, "Who has any feelings for you? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off your tongue!"

She grabbed a sickle from a farmhand and slashed it hard at Gao Yucheng's ear.

Gao Yucheng felt a sharp pain and asked, "Liu Yingyue, are you crazy?"

"This is a warning. If you keep talking nonsense, I will not only cut off your ears, but also chop off your hands and your tongue!" She said with a sneer, holding the sickle.

Gao Yucheng was about to faint from the pain, how could he dare to talk back?
His face turned pale and he was trembling so much that he dared not utter a word, but just kept humming.

"Manager Tian, ​​send someone to the county government to report the case truthfully!" Liu Yingyue ordered again.

"Yes, Madam Ying!" Manager Tian responded, waving to the two farmhands, "Let's go to the county town!"
-
Not far outside Qinjiazhuang, there were three men on horseback, looking towards the village.

Seeing a group of people sneaking up to the village, one of them asked the young man in the middle, "Sir, someone is attacking the village!"

"I saw it." The young man was Qin Yiran, and he said calmly.

"We're just going to watch? Do you want to go up and help?"

"No, let me take a look first." Qin Yiran narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
