Of course! The riverside of the Dusk River in Fortune Village immediately became lively. Coincidentally, the water level had fallen, and the green prawns that had just appeared were a bunch of nets. Was this any different from picking up copper coins for free?

Xiaoxiao had long found an opportunity to exchange points for a large number of crayfish to put into the Dusk River. It had no natural enemies for the time being. Even if it was caught one net full after another, it would probably adapt to the environment quickly and reproduce quickly. Then, she would have endless crayfish!

The Ning Family had become the most popular family in Fortune Village now because not only did they get rich themselves, but they also helped the entire village to get rich! It was obvious that this green prawn was not vigilant. They could basically be fished out easily with the net. Why didn’t they do it themselves? Wasn’t it to give everyone a chance to earn money?

What a kind family! No wonder they got rich. This was good karma!

After the new rice seeds of the Ning Family were harvested, County Magistrate Shen did not take them away directly. Instead, he arranged for an official to help dry them in the grain farm of Fortune Village. The official saying was that it was to prevent the depletion of the rice seeds. In addition, the county did not have such a large open space for operation.

However, Xiaoxiao knew that County Magistrate Shen did it to show off to the lords of Xllin County, especially those who missed a good opportunity.

County Magistrate Shen told them that they could distribute some rice seeds to the places that had already built the canal. However, those who dawdled and had no achievements could only watch helplessly.

In County Magistrate Shen’s words, it was better to make them anxious.

Seeing the new rice seeds planted in the middle quality land of the Ning Family, the officials were tempted. Those who were thick-skinned went back to build canals and negotiated with County Magistrate Shen.

County Magistrate Shen looked down on them from the bottom of his heart, but as a social expert, he promised that he could reserve new rice seeds for them in advance for the next season if they met the requirements.

Hence, the officials arranged for the commoners under their rule to dig holes. The water level of the Dusk River started to press down again.

The villagers of Fortune Village were not in a hurry, because the experienced elders had already said that it would probably rise back in a few days because the large-scale precipitation would happen at this time.

It was good news for County Magistrate Shen and the others that Yan Lu, the governor of Luo Prefecture, had not received the transfer order for a long time, but Yan Lu could not sit still.

The news from the Imperial Capital made him urge his subordinates in Fortune Village to speed up. It was precisely because of his impatience that the people who lingered around were discovered by the villagers who frequently went back and forth to Dusk River.

It was precisely because the Ning Family had formed good karma in advance that the villagers ran to Ning Fengnian to tell him about the strange strangers who had been wandering around the Ning Family’s grain-sunning field in the past few days.

Ning Fengnian didn’t take it seriously, but Xiaoxiao listened.

After taking in a disciple, she slacked off openly. She went into the mountains every day in the name of watching the progress of the planting of fruit trees and brought back some “local specialties1‘ to improve her food. Occasionally, she would go and see her milk and mutton skewers, no, cows and sheep. There was a small flaw in her happy life. In order not to keep looking at the empty courtyard next door, Xiaoxiao ran out to see her rice seeds spread out with the excuse of walking the dog and rabbit.

With this look, she really saw a few suspicious people. Most importantly, she happened to have seen one of them before. This person was involved when Lei Shaoming sent people to follow her back then. Since this matter was related to the Lei Family, it was definitely not simple. Xiaoxiao put away the rabbit and dog and followed quietly.

Walnut and Scarf’s reactions were very different after entering the space. Walnut rushed into the herd of cows and sheep and started to make a scene. Scarf trembled, as if it did not understand how the scenery changed in the blink of an eye.

With the company or encouragement of its friend, Scarf was only a little afraid for a while. Soon, it started to run in another direction—Xiaoxiao’s precious farmland.

If not for the space’s quick reaction and timely discovery, the precious Plain Crown Lotus Cauldron would probably have been bitten by it.

In order to make the rabbit behave, Xiaoxiao opened up a rabbit garden on the farm and even exchanged for a few of Scarf’s kind. At least she made it behave and she focused on following it.

Xiaoxiao’s tracking was different from others. She did not have to follow him at all times. She only had to look in that person’s direction and use the exit positioning technique to instantly appear seven meters away before he disappeared from her sight. She reappeared every seven meters repeatedly. It was convenient, effortless, and not easy to attract attention.

When she followed them to a deserted place, Xiaoxiao hid in her space and heard their plot.

“It’s more troublesome to secretly transport it away from the grain farm, but the county magistrate will send someone to collect the rice seeds tomorrow. At that time, we’ll take the carriage back to Luo Prefecture and change the owner of this new rice seed without anyone knowing.”

“Your Excellency is wise. We’ve already found a scapegoat for the dam. If we hand over this rice seed and combine it with the pressure from the Yan Family, His Majesty can only turn a blind eye.”

Xiaoxiao did not know if the Emperor would turn a blind eye to this, but she could not.

Her family had worked hard to plant the rice. The evidence of Yan Lu breaking the law was found by Little Big Brother and County Magistrate Shen. They had gone through countless difficulties to seek justice in the capital. How could they let Yan Lu get away with it and reap the benefits?

As soon as these people left, Xiaoxiao went to the county office to look for County Magistrate Shen and tell him about this. She was still young. Only a fool would rush up and shout at the Lei Family.

County Magistrate Shen looked at Xiaoxiao in shock for a long time. “I don’t know if I should agree with you taking the risk or thank you for hearing the important news.”

Xiaoxiao smiled innocently and said, “It’s just luck. Recently, there have been rice poles and haystacks everywhere in the village. They thought that they were hidden, but I happened to be there. Perhaps this is fate.”

County Magistrate Shen paced back and forth and said with a frown, “I’ll ask someone to take away the rice seeds in advance.”

However, Xiaoxiao said, “Sir, wait.”

She asked County Magistrate Shen, “Mr. Yan just wants the rice seeds. He might not give up until he achieves his goal. Since you are so generous, you can give him a cart. Anyway, you can’t see any difference in the rice seeds before they are planted.”

County Magistrate Shen was speechless.

“What are you suggesting?”

Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s what you think.”

The next morning, the county office sent someone to carefully collect the rice seeds on the farm and prepare to send them back to the county office.

However, just as the carriage was about to turn onto the main road, a group of masked people suddenly rushed out from the side. These people did not come with good intentions. They were all holding weapons.

“Coincidentally”, there were not many bailiffs transporting the rice grains. Their martial arts skills were just so-so. The coachman’s mental fortitude was too poor. He screamed and abandoned the carriage to escape..
