Chu Yuhao felt that ever since he met Zhou Jia and the others in the woods, and was later rescued by Li Yu at the lantern festival, he had never kept those high-yielding seeds and the recipe for printing ice.

Chu Yuhao thought of this and looked at Zhou Jia with true feelings, "Jiahe, it seems from Mrs. Li's letter that those people are looking for revenge on her. I know who wants to take revenge on her. This is why I didn't make a big fanfare back then. It’s because of the imperial edict that I granted you.”

After hearing this, Zhou Jia was moved and kowtowed to Chu Yuhao to thank him: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

Chu Yuhao helped Zhou Jia up and said with a smile: "You and I, my king and my ministers, don't have to do this. When all those people are brought to justice, I will reward you again."

Zhou Jia smiled honestly at Chu Yuhao and said: "Your Majesty, my wife said that we do not want to pay homage to the king. She also said that life is good now. I also think that my wife is right."

Chu Yuhao sighed: "Jiahe, you and your wife are the most contented people I have ever seen. You are very good."

Zhou Jia bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my wife said that you are a good emperor, and I think that your Majesty is an eternal wise king."

Chu Yuhao laughed loudly after hearing this, "Jiahe, Mrs. Li has a down-to-earth personality, and you are not bad either. Compared with your wife, you are more cunning."

"Your Majesty, my wife is indeed very nice, hehe!" Zhou Jia giggled happily.

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia and felt that a courtier like Zhou Jia who doted on his wife would really have peace of mind. "Okay, you go down first. I will send someone to protect Mrs. Li."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Jia bowed and exited.

Zhou Jia came out of the Imperial Study Room and saw Yang Yang standing at the entrance of the palace. Zhou Jia walked up to him, and Yang Yang looked at him with a look of complaint on his face, "Dad, why didn't you tell me the news that my mother was kidnapped?" ?”

"Don't worry, your mother is fine. Daddy will come to take you home later."

Hearing that Li Yu was fine, Yangyang looked at Zhou Jia happily and said, "Mom, are you home yet?"

Zhou Jia shook his head, "Your mother still has things to do. You go home and help dad take care of the brothers."

Hearing that Li Yu hadn't come home yet, Yangyang nodded glumly, "Oh! Then come pick me up early."

Zhou Jia touched his head and said, "Okay, go back quickly!"

Ji Xiang was dressed like a man from Liangjia Village and drove Lao Lin to the outside of Beicheng City. He saw Ding Yi dressed as a driver sitting on a mule cart outside the city. Lao Lin drove the cart along the city wall for two quarters of an hour. , Lao Lin whispered to Jixiang: "The place to put the note is here."

Ji Xiang glanced at him lightly and said softly: "Go! You know exactly what to do!"

"Yes." Lao Lin got out of the car and walked to the city wall, stuffed the note into the crack in the wall, and returned to the carriage without stopping for a moment, and drove to Liangjia Village with Ji Xiang.

Ding Yi and several secret guards stared at the place where Lao Lin had stayed in the dark.

Jixiang drove the car to the mountain pass and saw Zhaocai, Li Qing, and Leng Baotou riding horses, and they happened to arrive there.

Zhaocai saw Ji Xiang dressed as a farm man and Lao Lin driving the cart, and knew that he had found Li Yu.

Li Qing saw that Jixiang didn't say hello to Zhaocai and didn't say anything. It wasn't until Jixiang and Lao Lin reached the mountain road that they reined in their horses and slowly stopped, showing a relaxed expression.

Everyone rode towards the city gate. Leng Baotou turned around and glanced in the direction of Ji Xiang and Lao Lin.

Li Yu counted the time and went to the village entrance before Zhuangtou Lao Chi came back. He immediately saw the big banyan tree with lush branches. When he walked under the banyan tree, warm sunlight shone through the treetops.

Li Yu looked at its thick trunk, climbed up on the trunk, found a place where he could see the intersection at a glance, and sat down, leaning against the trunk and waiting for the village head to return to the village.

Before noon, a mule cart slowly drove into the village, and soon appeared in Li Yu's sight.

I saw a man wearing a melon skin hat driving a mule cart towards the village. The mule cart gradually approached, and I saw a middle-aged man with a long face, triangular eyes and yellowish skin. He looked at the village with sinister eyes. , looks like a cold poisonous snake.

When the mule cart arrived in front of the banyan tree, Li Yu jumped down from the banyan tree and kicked Zhuangtou out of the mule cart with lightning speed. He fell into the rice field beside the road. Zhuangtou struggled to climb a few steps. Without getting up, he rolled over, lay on the ground, held his head high with his hands on the ground, and looked at Li Yu with bared teeth, "Who are you?"

Li Yu walked up to him and looked at him coldly, "Your captor."

Zhuangtou suddenly thought that Lao Chai and the others had gone to Beijing to assist Lao Lin and kidnapped that powerful woman. He looked at Li Yu in surprise, "Are you the woman named Li?"

Li Yu looked at him coldly, "Now that you know it's my wife! Then tell me! Who asked you to kidnap my wife? Who is your superior?"

Sure enough, it was her. She had probably killed all the brothers in Zhuangzi. Even a dozen men couldn't resist a woman with bare hands. Against such a woman, there was no chance of her escaping.

Zhuangtou glanced at Li Yu coldly, suddenly grinned with a strange smile, lowered his head and bit his collar. Li Yu secretly thought something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to remove his mandible. Zhuangtou fainted, and Li Yu found him His face began to turn gray, and he hurriedly took a few detoxification pills from the space and stuffed them into his mouth, then rushed back with him in his arms.

Li Yu carried Chi Zhuangtou and ran all the way back to Zhuangzi and placed him under the eaves. Seeing that he was still dying, he threw him there and turned around and entered the kitchen.

When A Lian saw Chi Zhuangtou who was thrown under the eaves of the corridor by Li Yu, she screamed, "Mrs. Li, this is Zhuangtou in Zhuangzi. You caught him! What happened to him? This man named Chi is shady. Shen Shen is also cruel to others."

Li Yu frowned and looked at Chi Zhuangtou, thinking to take another look. If he still didn't wake up, he could only induce vomiting to see if he could spit out the poison.

"He committed suicide by taking poison after I caught him. I gave him some antidote, but it doesn't seem to be very effective. You go and prepare a large basin of rice water. If it doesn't work, just drink it for him.

Alian nodded, "Okay, I'll wash the rice right now."

Li Yu looked around the room and saw that they hadn't come back to eat at noon. Then he remembered that most people here had two meals during the off-season.

"There is so much food in the warehouse, wash more rice for cooking, and call Yangliu and the others back for lunch."

Alian looked at Li Yu in surprise, "Mrs. Li, do you want to give us some of the food in the warehouse?"

Seeing her surprised look, Li Yu also laughed, "Of course I should give you a share. Those fields also have your share. What's more, you also contributed to the grain, so the Yamen should leave a ration for you. "

Li Yu didn't know how the court would eventually compensate victims like A Lian, but the massacre of the people in Liangjia Village was probably done by the emperor's brother. He felt that Chu Yuhao should compensate them and give them certain care. Let them live and work in peace and contentment.
