Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 420 Conflict between Officials and Civilians

The two sides entered into a hostile momentum of ice and fire.

At this moment, the son of the salt merchant who had a feud with An Yue was fanning the flames.

"Why bother talking to them so much! The county magistrate has issued an official order that we must collect the grain tax and taxes today no matter what."

"If we return empty-handed like this, and the county magistrate blames us, I'm afraid no one will get away with it!"

The leading officer bowed with some fear and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

The man leaned close to the leading officer's ear and glanced at An Yue and the villagers, as if he was whispering something.

The village chief warned loudly: "Let me make this clear today. If you use your hands, you could get injured at best or die at worst."

The leading officer said to the officers behind him: "Brothers, we are in a dilemma now! It seems that we have to use force!"

At this time, the village chief knew that the first to strike would be the strongest, and the last to strike would suffer.

Qin looked at the village chief, who nodded at her.

Then, Qin shouted loudly: "Everyone, the wind is blowing."

A group of women standing in the front heard the signal and quickly put on their masks.

Without saying a word, he rushed towards the group of officials and sprinkled the chili powder he had prepared in advance on them.

At this time, the weather was really good and a perfect breeze blew by.

Many officers were choked by the chili powder and started coughing uncontrollably. Some even got chili powder in their eyes, causing them so much pain that they couldn't open their eyes.

In an instant, the officers became scattered.

Then, a group of men holding farm tools behind him were about to rush forward.

The village chief stopped them, saying, "Stop! Everyone stop!"

The farm tool in the man's hand was forcibly suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, about a hundred people suddenly rushed out from the road behind the officials.

The man running in front shouted loudly: "Brothers! Tie up all these officers!"

"Okay!" A group of people rushed to the officers frantically and surrounded them.

The villagers standing by were stunned for a moment.

Li Jing quickly ran to protect his father and asked nervously, "Dad, what's going on?"

"I don't know either!"

An Yue recognized the leader at a glance.

She quickly comforted the village chief and villagers: "Don't be afraid, they are bandits from Dongwu Mountain, and they are here to help us."

The village chief asked An Yue: "Girl, how did the bandits know that the officials would come to our village?"

An Yue explained with a smile: "They have people who are specifically following us. Any movement of the government will not escape their eyes."

The village chief smiled meaningfully at An Yue and nodded.

Then he shouted to the villagers around him: "To avoid accidental injuries, everyone step back."

The bandits moved quickly and tied up the officers tightly in a short while.

The man saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape in the chaos, but was grabbed by the sharp-eyed bandits.

The bandit leader shouted angrily: "Humph! Don't even think about running away, kid!"

The villagers felt relieved but also a little worried when they saw the usually arrogant officials now in such an embarrassed state.

Aunt Wang wiped her tears and said, "What should we do? Although we are relieved for a while, if the government investigates, we will be in trouble!"

An Yue comforted her, "Don't worry, Auntie. Since these bandits dare to come to help, they must have a plan to deal with us."

The bandit leader walked up to the village chief, bowed and said, "Village chief, although we are bandits, we are also forced by the world. What happened today is that we can't stand the arrogance and unreasonableness of these officials."

The village chief frowned and asked, "What should we do next?"

The bandit leader thought for a moment and said, "Let's take these officials back to the stronghold first. I believe they won't dare to come here to do evil again."

"As for the government, we will keep an eye on it and inform you in advance of any disturbances."

The village chief nodded and said, "Thank you very much, all of you heroes."

The bandit leader walked up to An Yue and laughed, "My benefactor, I heard that you rented a shop in town?"

An Yue smiled and replied, "Yes! The boss is really well-informed."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go and taste it when I have some free time someday."

"Okay! The shop is called [Anjia Malatang], and I'm in the shop ready to welcome you anytime."

Wu Wenshan laughed heartily: "Haha, OK, OK, then we will go back to the village first."

An Yue asked quickly: "Boss, this time it's thanks to you guys for arriving in time."

"How can we just sit there and watch our benefactor in trouble? Haha...Okay, we should go back. See you later! See you later!"

An Yue saluted Wu Wenshan: "Take care, heroes."

The bandits left the village with a group of officials.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried.

An Yue and Daniu returned home, but she still couldn't calm down for a long time.

She knew very well that this matter might not end here.

After this incident, the village seemed to return to peace.

And Anyue's family still go to the shop early every day to work.

......

past few days.

as predicted.

News came from the county town that the county magistrate was furious when he learned that the bandits had kidnapped the officials.

He also made outrageous statements, saying that he would send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits in Dongwu Mountain.

When An Yue heard the news, her heart tightened.

On this day, the shop closed at 5 p.m. on the 4th of the lunar month.

After closing the shop, he rode Li Wu's ox cart straight to the west end of the village.

She planned to tell the village chief the news and see what he thought.

Came to the village chief's house.

"Uncle, the county magistrate has sent troops to encircle and suppress Dongwu Mountain. What should we do?"

When the village chief heard the news, he looked worried.

"We are far away in Baili Village, how can we help them?"

An Yue thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, although we are far away in Baili Village, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

"The bandits helped us last time, so we have to find a way to repay them."

The village chief frowned and sighed: "Girl, what can we do?"

He spread his hands helplessly and continued: "We are just ordinary villagers. How can we fight against the government?"

"Uncle, how about letting me go to Dongwu Mountain? Everyone in their village knows me. I'll go up the mountain and let them prepare in advance."

"Besides, we can also organize some young and strong men in the village, so that they can help out if anything happens."

The village chief hesitated and said, "Will this...will this work? If the government finds out, we will all be in trouble."

"Uncle, we can't just watch the bandits get into trouble for helping us. Even if there are risks, we have to give it a try."

The village chief pondered for a long time.

After much deliberation, he finally replied:
