The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2565 - 49: Who Let Those Ruffians Pose as Bailiffs

The puppet was brushed on both sides with mud and green copper paint, making it look less new, before being put away.

"Let’s go, let’s buy some buns, and head to Wayao Town."

Wayao Town was the place they passed yesterday, where people unearthed the puppet.

Half an hour after they departed, the remaining guard took the name card to the county office.

"By the way, have they found out who had those hooligans impersonate bailiffs?" Li Luru asked on the road.

San shook his head, "The person who went wore a veil, I heard it’s a woman."

"A woman?" Li Luru was puzzled, "How could it be a woman?"

"That I don’t know."

Quickly, the two arrived at Wayao Town. Li Luru carried two large bags of buns to the town and began shouting, "Come get buns, free buns, come get the buns."

As soon as her voice sounded, the townsfolk gradually gathered around. San, seeing everyone’s attention drawn, took things to the drum tower.

"Miss, were you sent by the government?" An elderly man asked.

Others looked at her hopefully.

"I wasn’t!" Li Luru smiled, "We passed by yesterday and saw no one taking care of you, so we bought some food to send over."

"Alas, we’re neglected." The elderly man was very disappointed, his eyes dimmed.

Someone cried, "Are we all going to die here?"

"Sir, why don’t we leave and find a livelihood elsewhere?"

"..."

Seeing this, Li Luru quickly said, "Don’t worry, someone has already notified the government, and they will send people over soon. Our Great Zhou Emperor cares most for the people, so he cannot neglect everyone."

"Come, everyone stand up, line up for the buns, everyone gets some, okay."

Li Luru called out again, distributing buns one by one. These people hadn’t eaten in a day or two, and now they devoured the buns ravenously.

Since the earthquake, they initially wanted to go elsewhere, not expecting other places to be the same. Some did not leave, thinking, with so many places affected, the court will not neglect it.

Who would know several days have passed without anyone coming, and deep inside, they weren’t without despair.

Because they deeply understood, relying on themselves, they couldn’t rebuild their homes.

Nankai County’s bailiffs arrived at noon. Li Luru did not stay here waiting for the outcome but instead went with others back to the inn in the county town.

In the evening, she specifically went downstairs to eat with San at the hall.

"Hey, have you heard? Something good was found in our Nankai County."

"What good thing?"

"Let me tell you, wasn’t there an earthquake in Wayao Town the other day? The office sent people to rescue the local villagers, and guess what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Something wearing a dragon robe was dug up under the drum tower of Wayao Town, with the era name of our Emperor on it."

"No way?"

The table of people was astonished.

"Oh, I misspoke, it was something wearing a dragon robe that was unearthed, with our Emperor’s era name on it."

"Ah, I know about this." Someone from another table said, "It was excavated yesterday."

"Yes indeed, I heard what was excavated yesterday was taken by a white bird, while the diggers disappeared, some say they died, some say they failed to guard it properly and were punished by the heavens."

"But it is strange, how did that white bird return the thing?"

A man with a beard said, "What else? The old Taoist outside the city went to see it, saying the white bird is intelligent, knew the stolen item was valuable, and returned it."
