The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household

Although they were all wealthy people in Gaochuan County, the people should not fight against the officials. Even though they were indignant, they had no better solution.

"If the two officers hadn't been so brave and happened to catch that group of people, we might have been killed and robbed by them!"

"But he is the county magistrate, and we are just ordinary people. What can we do to him?"

Finally, everyone's attention fell on Jiang Sining, because Mr. Liu had told everyone that this "Mr. Xiao" was a master who was not only an excellent doctor, but also had many ways to deal with things.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Sining has no way to deal with the county magistrate now. After all, he is an official appointed by the imperial court. If something really happens, the state government will immediately send troops to garrison there.

But we can’t just let him get away with it, otherwise it will be hard to appease the hatred in everyone’s hearts.

"Everyone, I do have a solution," Jiang Sining said, "but this requires everyone's concerted efforts."

"Mr. Xiao, just tell me," said Mr. Liu, "As long as we can help, we will never refuse!"

"Yes, I will definitely do my best!"

Jiang Sining nodded and said, "To solve this matter, we must first understand why County Magistrate Shen did this."

"Of course it's for money and food!"

"That's right," Jiang Sining said, "but their plan failed and they didn't get the silver and food. If they have the chance, they will definitely take action again. So why don't we set a trap and let him fall into it!"

Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.

To set a trap, you need bait, which is silver and food.

"Master Xiao wants us to act as bait?"

"That's not necessary. It's too dangerous for you," Jiang Sining said, "In fact, I'm the most suitable one."

"you?"

"Yes, I heard that Gaochuan County was hit by a flood. I happened to have some acquaintances here, so I bought a large amount of grain from other places to speculate. If the county magistrate knew this news, do you think he would let the bandits come again?"

Mr. Liu nodded, but he was a little worried: "This time they will definitely be extra careful."

"Don't worry, I'll find an expert to protect you."

"Okay," said Mr. Liu, "I am willing to pay one thousand taels of silver to buy the grain."

"I am also willing to pay one thousand taels!"

"I'll go too!"

……

The wealthy people present all donated money. Although one thousand taels was a large sum of money, as long as it could eradicate everyone's worries and allow them to live peacefully in Gaochuan County in the future, what did the money matter?

Soon, Jiang Sining received a silver note worth 15,000 taels.

"Everyone go back," Jiang Sining said, "In a few days, everyone will surely see the results."

……

Jiang Sining didn't intend to make money from these people, but if she didn't let them pay, these people would not become her accomplices and might betray her at any time.

Asking them to pay now is equivalent to handing over a token of their allegiance.

This way, she doesn't have to worry about anyone becoming a traitor, and the network of these people can be used for her benefit in the future, which is what she wants most.

However, before forming a large business group, she had to do something to convince everyone, so after leaving Liu Dashan's house, she drove to the provincial capital.

Because of the heavy rain, the price of food has tripled, but merchants are still reluctant to sell it and only take out a little bit every day.

So she didn't buy any grain at all, but instead bought more than a hundred carts of straw. In order to make it look like grain, she put a lot of stones under the straw.

In this way, when the ox cart starts moving, the wheels will sink very deeply, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a heavy vehicle.

Before arriving in Gaochuan County, she had asked someone to inform Mr. Liu and ask him to spread the news.

In a small courtyard behind the county government office, Shen Luoqiao and his wife were visiting his brother-in-law when Master Liu rushed over.

When the brother-in-law, who was still lying in bed, heard that a large quantity of grain was being transported to Gaochuan County, he couldn't help it.

"Brother-in-law, let me go! I will never fail again this time!"

Shen Luoqiao frowned slightly, unable to make a decision for a while.

Although his brother-in-law is not a prodigal son, he is not very capable.

Master Liu saw his hesitation and said, "Shen County Magistrate, if you don't have anyone you can trust, just let him go. My newly transferred guards have just arrived, and they are all unfamiliar faces. Everyone be careful this time. Since they are intercepted halfway, there will be no problem."

Shen Luoqiao sighed in his heart. It was all because he had been in Gaochuan County not long ago and had not had time to develop more confidants.

"Okay, there must not be any mistakes this time."

When Hu Mingzhang heard this, he immediately got up, not caring about the injury on his leg.

Last time, I suffered a great loss for no apparent reason and almost ruined my brother-in-law's good fortune, causing him to be severely scolded by my sister. I was very angry at that time.

So this time, he was determined to do things well, so that his brother-in-law would give him better jobs in the future and he could earn more money.

So he got a simple horse-drawn carriage, took the people given to him by Master Liu, and arrived in advance to ambush the caravan that was transporting grain on the road that must be passed.

This time he was really careful and sent out five of the ten people who followed him to find out the surrounding situation clearly and make sure that there was no one living nearby.

Two more people were sent out to monitor Jiang Sining's convoy transporting food and fodder.

After waiting in the woods until dark, the person sent out to gather intelligence came back and said that the convoy seemed to be preparing to travel overnight and would arrive at their ambush site around midnight.

"God really helps me."

Hu Mingzhang immediately replaced someone else to continue monitoring, while the others ate and rested to recuperate.

Tonight, he must do a great job!

……

A long line of ox carts moved slowly forward on the bumpy official road.

Jiang Sining was sitting in one of the ox carts. The driver was Si Chenan who had disguised himself, and the one in front was Dong Ling.

Just now, there were two people sneaking around in the distance, and Dong Ling had already noticed them, so she concluded that County Magistrate Shen's men had taken the bait, and so she ordered the convoy to travel overnight to give County Magistrate Shen a chance.

"My lady," Si Chenan said, "if there are bandits later, what will these drivers do?"

"When we are almost there, we will stop and let the drivers rest at the back of the team. Then they won't be implicated."

Si Chenan didn't expect Jiang Sining to be so thoughtful.

In fact, if it were him in the past, or if Qingyu was asked to plan this matter, he probably wouldn't consider the life and death of these drivers.

After all, in the eyes of people in high positions, they are just ordinary drivers, and it doesn’t matter if a few of them are sacrificed in order to accomplish an important thing.

In fact, he might not have thought about this problem before.

It may be because I have been with my wife for a long time, and gradually I have been influenced by her kindness.

I really can't imagine if such a lady succeeds in rebellion in the future... No, the lady is so powerful that she will definitely succeed. When she becomes the empress of Daxia, the world of Daxia will be peaceful and prosperous, and the people will live a happy life...

Thinking of this, Si Chenan couldn't help but be fascinated and didn't even notice the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Sining asked when she saw him laughing secretly.

"Oh, nothing," Si Chenan said, "I'm just looking forward to the day when my wife becomes the empress."

What?

Jiang Sining's eyes almost popped out.

she?

Be an empress?

Has this kid's brain been damaged by being shaken by a bullock cart? How could he be willing to let her do such a dangerous job?

Brother, you think too far!

"Master, Madam!" Dong Ling came over at this time, "There are still three miles ahead, that's where those people are ambushing."

Jiang Sining nodded and said, "Tell the drivers to stop and go to the back to eat and rest, and tell them not to light the fire. We will light a fire in the front and set up the trap."

"Yes."

Dong Ling did as he was told immediately.

Today he is more motivated than ever.

Because he just heard that our lady not only wants to rebel, but also wants to be the emperor!

If his wife is the first empress of Daxia, then does that mean he is the founding general?

As a general, you can lead your troops north to seek revenge on those vicious barbarians!
