On Luo Han’s side, he had already interrogated the people from Shatai Village about their crimes.
They had abducted and abused women, causing more than twenty women to die at their hands.
They sold counterfeit and low-quality herbs, and had harmed many herb merchants.
They sold poppy for self-profit and harmed the people and the government.
They beat up and bullied good people, and harmed rich businessmen. A total of ten families were killed…
There were countless other such things.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he asked Luo Han and Xu Wenzheng to arrange for a total of 50 people to be escorted down the mountain from Shatai Village to receive punishment.
After the people from Shatai Village were sent down, the soldiers sent by the Sichuan army began to move into Shatai Village.
Xu Wenzheng asked someone to smash the big rock at the entrance of Shatai Village and plant several big trees.
The original Shatai Village had also been redesigned. All the dilapidated houses had been knocked down and restored to farmland.
Luo Cheng and Xu Wenzheng looked around for a long time. In the end, they chose a new piece of land and built it into the place the Shu army would be stationed.
As for the underground passage, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran discussed it for a long time and finally decided to fill it manually.
It just so happened that the place where the Shu army was stationed had to be shoveled. The soil that had been eradicated could be led directly into the underground tunnels and filled up bit by bit until all the tunnels disappeared.
After Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng handed this matter to Xu Wenzheng, they left with their men.
After going down the mountain, Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and the others returned to Nanping Town to rest.
After returning to the lively town again, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt that she had become more like a human.
Shu Ruyue ran over and asked while Li Xiaoran was drinking tea, “Luo Han will set up a court here in Nanping Town to interrogate those people from Shatai Village about their crimes today. Do you want to go take a look?”
“I don’t want to go anywhere anymore! I’ve been tired for so long, so I don’t want to go anywhere anymore! If you want to see it, call Wu Qinghe along! I just want to lie down quietly,” Li Xiaoran said lazily.
She had really been exhausted recently.
She was mentally exhausted.
She wasn’t made of iron. She also needed to rest and replenish her energy.
“Alright, I’ll go look for Wu Qinghe!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran was really exhausted, Shu Ruyue said, “Then stay at home. Don’t run out alone!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Don’t worry! I’m not a child anymore. Why would I run around?!”
Because it was a public trial, Luo Cheng definitely had to oversee it.
Therefore, only Li Xiaoran and some people in charge of the safety of the house were left in the house.
Li Xiaoqing, who had stayed in Hele Village, encountered something that troubled her.
Recently, someone had come to the sliced noodles shop. From his attire, it was obvious that he was a rich guy.
Every time this person came, he would order a bowl of sliced noodles and sit in the corner to eat.
The meal would last for a while. Every time he ate, he would look at Li Xiao Qing, who was cooking noodles.
Fortunately, this person always sat in the corner and didn’t disturb the other customers.
At first, Li Xiaoqing didn’t care, but as time passed, she naturally sensed that something was wrong.
Even Zhao Sisi, who was also in the shop, sensed that the other party’s motive wasn’t simple.
Zhao Sisi said worriedly, “Xiao Qing, you should tell your parents about this! I keep feeling that something is wrong with this person!”
Li Xiaoqing looked at the man sitting in the corner and shook her head.
“He’s a customer. The other party hasn’t done anything out of line, so we can’t take the initiative to chase our customer away. Besides, we’re doing business in public. If he’s just here to eat noodles, we’ll welcome him warmly. If he really has other intentions, I’m not stupid and my family won’t put up with it either!”
Compared to before, Li Xiaoqing, who had taken over the sliced noodles shop, was much more independent now.
She had seen many strange customers and many troublemakers, so now, she knew how to deal with them.
Although she was only 15 years old and about to turn 16, her martial arts skills were more than enough for her to deal with a few people.
Moreover, as Li Xiaoran’s sister, she had also received special care from Luo Ziyang.
She had drugs for self-defense, so even if anything happened, there was no need to panic.
Zhao Sisi wasn’t as optimistic as Li Xiaoran. She felt that this man had ill intentions, so she told the others in the shop that they should pay attention to this man.
To everyone’s surprise, after almost a month, that man actually invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.
When Li Xiaoqing was called home in a hurry, she saw a matchmaker appear at home.
This time, Li Xiaoqing had a bad feeling.
Li Xiaoqing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and walked in to ask,
“Father, Mother, why did you call me back in a hurry?”
Zhao Xiu looked at her daughter and said, “Xiao Qing, during this period of time, a man in green clothes came to the shop often and always ate noodles in the southwest corner.”
Li Xiaoqing replied, “That’s right! That customer came every day for more than a month!”
The matchmaker immediately said warmly when she heard Li Xiaoqing’s words, “Look, this a match made in heaven! She paid attention to him as well! Otherwise, how could she remember him so clearly?!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she wasn’t angry.
“Madam, you’re mistaken! Our family runs a shop and does business. If a regular comes every day, of course I’ll remember him very clearly. If I don’t even have this bit of discernment, how can I do anything? According to what you mean, there are many people I pay attention to, like Granny Jin, who comes back to the shop every day to cook food, and Aunt Liu, who comes to the shop every day to buy fast food, Zhao Daniu, who likes to come to our shop to buy buns. There are at least dozens of them!”
Li Xiaoqing’s retort was very straightforward. At least, Zhao Xiu felt extremely pleased after hearing it.
The matchmaker who came to propose marriage was a little annoyed.
However, because of Mr. Luo and the consort, she didn’t dare to say anything unpleasant..
