Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

He had always suspected the Tong Family to have a connection with the treasure, but without evidence, he couldn’t act.

However, now they were planning to excavate the whole village, yet this grandfather and grandson seemed so calm…

Could it be that the treasure really has nothing to do with the Tong family?

Or has the treasure been moved to an incredibly safe place where it cannot be found even if they excavate the village?

“Are you still hesitating, dear brother? This is not the time for hesitation. The citizens of Shuifeng Prefecture are waiting for the relief money.” Yang Wang held the blood-stained brick up to Yang Ye, implying that if he hesitated any longer, the treasure might grow legs and run away underground.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ye gritted his teeth, “then go notify!”

Though he couldn’t agree or approve of the bandit behaviors of Yang Wang and Cen Hong, it was true what Yang Wang said.

Such a large stash of treasure would be enough to cope with the disaster in Shuifeng Prefecture.

His father, the Emperor, would no longer need to worry.

He decided to let it go. Regardless of whether the Tong Family had anything to do with the treasure, he no longer cared. It was too exhausting!

“However, there’s one thing I need to make clear: no soldier should raise their hand against the common people. You must speak gently.” He declared with a stern face.

“Of course, the military rules are there. No one dares to break them.” Yang Wang nodded.

Yang Ye took a deep breath and turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, we’ll start with your house.”

“Alright,” Qiao Xiaomai responded.

How would the discovery of the abnormal pit matter? There’s no way to verify fingerprints or blood here. She would stick to her claim of ignorance, claiming to know nothing.

As for Tong Sanlang…

0, Heaven! Manifest yet another miracle, please!

Pray for another miracle to appear!

Seeing that Yang Ye and Qiao Xiaomai had no issues, Yang Wang began to deploy, “Two hundred people, assist Miss Qiao and the villagers nearby to relocate. Two thousand people, go to the mountain and chop wood. Two thousand people, level the fields. The rest, begin digging from Miss Qiao’s house.”

“Village Chief Tong, you quickly summon all the villagers to explain the situation. Just say the matter is urgent. When the time comes, this prince will subsidize ten times the amount of silver according to the property of each household.”

Tong Tiehu’s face still looked calm. Upon hearing this, he immediately went to the threshing ground, preparing to ring the bell.

Tong Sanlang followed, intending to join him.

At this time, Yang Wang spoke again, “Tong Sanlang, your lightness skill is good, and you’re the grandson of the Village Chief. You use your lightness skill to run back and forth in the village a few times. If there are people unwilling to cooperate and cause trouble, you will be responsible for persuasion.”

Tong Sanlang obliges.

Thus, the situation seemed to have been settled.

Anping Village was to be excavated today.

Qiao Xiaomai felt as though she had been placed in an oil pot, but she couldn’t show it on her face.

Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang remained calm. They were prepared for death.

Just as everything seemed to be flowing smoothly, the Chief of the academy, who had not spoken till now, suddenly said, “Wait.”

“Hmm? Master Gu, do you have any unique insights?” Yang Wang turned to look at him.

Master Gu had travelled in a carriage. He sat at the door of the carriage, his wrinkled face solemn, “Your Highness, General Cen, send people to protect Anping Village. As for excavating the village, that must not be done.”

Upon hearing these words, Yang Wang’s brows immediately furrowed, and he was uneasy in his heart.

But the speaker was his father’s teacher, so he patiently asked, “What do you mean, Master Gu?”

Master Gu held a fan in his hand. Despite the hot weather, he swung his fan, leisurely replying, “Twenty years ago, I retired to Bailu Town to build the Academy. When I departed the capital, the Emperor Emeritus entrusted me with a task. It was not exactly an imperial order, but it was something he personally told me. He asked me to look after the people of Anping Village.”

“Especially the Tong family. He said no matter how big the matter is, anything related to Anping Village and the Tong Family should all wait until he arrives.”

“Recently, His Majesty the Emperor has begun to repair the main road from the Capital City to Bailu Town. The Emperor Emeritus is coming here.”

“Therefore, your Highness, general, the Capital City is not far from Bailu Town. Let’s wait a bit longer, shall we? We should wait for the Emperor Emeritus.”
