Chapter 265: Taken Away for Torture

In the end, the village chief used his eloquence to bargain down the price to four hundred taels, and agreed to deliver it in a month.

The village chief hurried to raise money.

Grandpa Jiang winked at Wolf Yi, and Wolf Yi quietly followed the village chief.

"Old Master."

Wolf Two showed up, "Master said that everything in the basement has been moved."

Grandpa Jiang: "..."

So fast?
The day before yesterday, when we talked about coming back to relocate the graves, we proposed to sell the fields, homesteads and graves together to the village chief.

My granddaughter asked her to move all the stuff in the basement, and she finished moving it in just two days? And she did it quietly.

"That's fine."

Grandpa Jiang nodded, "There is still a month left, you should hurry up and destroy the basement, and catch more poisonous snakes and centipedes. I want those people to pay with blood!"

"Yes!"

……

The flower grower of Maoshan ran into the back mountain. He needed to calm down, but soon he was brought in front of Niu Dayan.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking up the mountain?"

"I'm sneaky?"

The flower grower at Maoshan pointed at his nose and ran openly, okay?

If all kinds of stones hadn't appeared in the mountains like ghosts blocking his way, would he have been caught by these ancients?

"Isn't it you or who?"

The matter in the capital was settled, but they still asked him to guard this broken camp. Niu Dayan was full of complaints and was looking for someone to vent his anger. Then this Taoist priest bumped into him. It was his bad luck.

"Take him away and torture him."

"Yes!"

"Hey hey hey! Wait, wait."

The flower grower on Mount Mao quickly revealed his identity, "I am a villager from the mountain, you can't abuse lynching."

"Villagers down the mountain?"

Niu Dayan stared at the hair and clothing of the flower growers at Maoshan Mountain, "Do you think I'm blind? How can there be a Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain?"

"no no."

The Maoshan flower grower shook his head and said, "I am a relative of a villager down the mountain, and I am here to visit my relatives."

"Whose family?"

"Nanshan Village, Jiang Family."

"The Jiang family?"

Niu Dayan stood up suddenly and asked, "Who are you to the Jiang family?"

Maoshan flower grower "..."

Does this person know the Jiang family?
Shouldn't it?

The three generations of the Jiang family are all older than this person, unless...

"I am the leader of the granddaughter of the Jiang family. I am her superior and she listens to my orders."

"impossible!"

Niu Dayan waved his hand and said, "Take him away and beat him up!"

The flower grower at Maoshan almost had his buttocks bloom after being beaten. If it weren't for the magic, it would have really bloomed.

"My Lord, the prisoner has confessed."

"Bring up the confession."

"Yes!"

After reading the confession, Niu Dayan slammed the table and said, "What nonsense!"

The confession stated that this Taoist priest was building a house for the Jiang family. Somehow, the Jiang family's kitchen exploded. The villagers said that the Jiang family was punished by heaven and regarded him as a demon, so they drove him into the back mountain.
"Drag him down and behead him."

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

The flower grower at Maoshan was really afraid that his head would be chopped off by the unreasonable man in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that Qin and Chu had changed dynasties in ancient times, he would have been the national teacher second only to the emperor. How could he beg for mercy from this small and barbaric general?

"What this Taoist priest said is true. If you don't believe me, send someone to investigate. The Jiang family is planning to move the graves."

Moving the grave?

If the graves were really moved, something big must have happened to the Jiang family.

Niu Dayan called a soldier over and whispered a few words to him, and the soldier quickly ran out of the tent.

The flower growers at Maoshan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they found out that he had a past relationship with the Jiang family, this unreasonable barbarian who protected the Jiang family would let him go, right?

Unexpectedly, when the soldier brought back a letter, he was thrown into the dungeon.

Not only did they tie his hands and feet with iron shackles, they also searched his body thoroughly, leaving him with only his underwear.

Without the talisman, how could he cast a spell and escape? Was it God's will to kill him?
"Brother." Niu Dayan stretched out his hand to hug Le Gousheng who walked into the tent, but when he remembered Le Gousheng's true identity, he stopped awkwardly.

"Big brother."

Le Gousheng clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, big brother, for helping me to vent my anger. But don't kill him. Let him suffer a little more. After a month and a half, give him a chance to escape."

"Why?"

"He is indeed my superior, but he has developed ambitions. His superiors told me to keep an eye on him until he changes his ways and then I can let him go."

"OK then!"

Niu Dayan could only agree, "Brother, why don't you tell me why I haven't been transferred away from here?"

"I heard that several high-ranking officials in the court were arguing over this mine, and they all wanted to compete for the task of mining the iron ore."

Niu Dayan leaned over and whispered, "Isn't the current emperor your servant? Doesn't he know that you are my adopted sister?"

"I don't interfere in government affairs."

Le Gousheng shook his head. "What I want is to ensure that the world does not become chaotic, and I will not influence current decisions. I'm sorry, big brother, I won't go out of my way to help the Niu family."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Niu Dayan smiled and said, "If you can think this way, I and my family can help the present with more confidence."

“I really have no ambition.”

Le Gousheng didn't care about Niu Dayan and the Niu family's defenses against her, "Brother, if the future is a peaceful and prosperous era, don't mention your current identity anymore."

"I know."

Niu Dayan nodded, "In my Niu family, only a few important people know about this."

"That's great, I'll take my leave now, brother."

"Go ahead! Don't come to this men's camp anymore."

"it is good."

……

A month later, Grandpa Jiang came to Nanshan Village again.

The village chief has been waiting for a long time.

"Here are four hundred taels of silver notes and some loose change. Uncle Jiang, please count them."

"Don't I trust you?"

Grandpa Jiang waved to Wolf Two behind him. Wolf Two stepped forward and exchanged the land deed and house deed for banknotes and silver with the eldest son of the village chief's family, then retreated behind Grandpa Jiang.

The head of the village chief's family took a look at the land deed and the house deed, and confirmed that they were both real. He smiled and said, "The money and goods are paid."

"Farewell!"

Grandpa Jiang bowed slightly and left the village chief's house.

There were many villagers standing outside the village chief's house.

"Grandpa Jiang, did you really sell the house and the land?"

"Uncle Jiang, will you come back in the future?"

"Uncle Jiang, we can't bear to part with you."

"That's right, Uncle Jiang, without you, where would we go to listen to stories and learn arithmetic?"

"That's right, Uncle Jiang, don't leave."

Grandpa Jiang bowed and said, "Fellow villagers, I will never come back after I leave. Please take care of yourselves."

The villagers waved goodbye to the departing carriage and were filled with sadness. Without the literate Jiang family, Nanshan Village became no different from any other village.

The village chief's family was in great joy.

"Dad, shall we start digging tonight?" The eldest son of the village chief's family was a little anxious.

"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until the villagers get used to the Jiang family's absence and stop running to the end of the village. Then we can start digging."

"But I'm worried that there are others who are coveting it."

"Then move in first."

"I'll move there. I'm the boss..."

"Brother, it's because you are the eldest that you can't move out. It's better for me to move out."

The second son of the village chief fights for his own interests.

"Second brother, don't try to eat alone. We are moving too."

The third son of the village chief was fighting for it.

The fourth and fifth brothers were dumbfounded. What were the eldest, second and third brothers arguing about?
"You two are grown up now, so I won't hide it from you anymore."

The village chief told his fourth and fifth sons about his family's coveting of the Jiang family for generations.

When the fourth and fifth brothers heard this, they also vied to move to the end of the village.

In the end, the eldest brother stayed, and the eldest son of the old family moved to the end of the village with his four uncles, and everyone else stayed.
