Chapter 165 Li Yujiao was kidnapped
Li Yujiao not only grows rice with the villagers, but also collects herbs with them.
There are many mountains in the southwest, and most of them are rocky mountains. These rocky mountains are not conducive to land reclamation, but there are a large number of precious medicinal materials in the mountains, such as Dendrobium, Astragalus, Angelica, Sophora flavescens, etc.
She specially had the shapes of these medicinal herbs drawn, and went to the mountains to pick them during the non-busy farming season.
Another notice was issued to attract drug dealers to buy the medicine, so that the villagers had another source of income.
The once dilapidated Qiu Ning and Huatai are now gradually coming alive, with golden rice fields in the fields, smoke rising from the villages, and children playing and playing in the fields.
The yamen, which used to be so poor that it couldn't even support the constables, was gradually able to collect taxes, and its various functional departments were able to operate normally.
Li Yujiao deserves a lot of credit for all this.
Nowadays, the people of Qiu Ning and Hua Tai are spreading the story about Li Yujiao: Madam Jing is smart, kind and beautiful, and it is under her leadership that Qiu Ning and Hua Tai have gradually become better.
Not only Qiu Ning and Hua Tai, but even the old emperor far away in the capital heard about it.
As long as the border is peaceful and there are no disaster victims, the old emperor is too lazy to care and lets her do whatever she wants.
But there were also many people who hated her, including the landlords and gentry who used to be tyrannical.
Their land was confiscated, and although they themselves were able to get a lot of land, the former slaves became villagers on an equal footing with them. When they went out, there was no one to carry their sedan chairs, and they had to work in the fields.
So they made up stories to slander Li Yujiao, saying that she was not faithful to her husband, often hooked up with men in the fields, and relied on her husband being a general to openly interfere in the government's internal affairs, and she should be thrown into a pig cage.
For a time, rumors spread.
Because Mi Xiuxiu was bored, she often followed Li Yujiao up the mountains and into the fields during this period.
"Jiaojiao, I heard someone saying bad things about you this morning, and it made me furious!" Mi Xiuxiu said angrily.
Li Yujiao smiled and said, "It's someone else's mouth, why should I care what they say?"
"You don't mind at all?"
Li Yujiao said: "There are many people who say good things about me. Many people say that I am a fairy who came down to earth and saved their family's lives. I just listen to these words. Why should I listen to those bad words?"
Mi Xiuxiu said admiringly: "You are too powerful. If it were me, I would have been unable to bear it. No wonder I can't be a person like you. You have done so many things for the people. I dare not even think about it in my next life."
“I just did what I could think of and did it when I thought of it.”
Li Yujiao and Mi Xiuxiu went to the mountain to pick herbs today.
With Doctor Fang's book, she now knows a lot of herbs.
When they got to the mountain, Li Yujiao asked everyone to split up and pick the fruits. Mi Xiuxiu and her servants went to one hill, and she and her servants went to another hill.
Resources are limited and we can’t all be crowded together.
Li Yujiao searched for a long time on her hilltop, but only found a little bit of angelica.
She looked back at Li Zhongping helplessly and said, "Butler Li, why don't you take a few people to dig over there?"
Li Zhongping said hesitantly, "But Madam, is it okay for you to be here alone?"
"Why not? We're not far away from each other. If there's anything, I can just call you."
Li Zhongping had no choice but to say, "Well... OK."
However, to be on the safe side, Li Zhongping still left a servant named Fu Yi to follow Li Yujiao.
Li Yujiao was so focused on finding herbs that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
Little did she know that on another hilltop, a group of people were quietly approaching her from the bushes.
The leader of this group of people is called Bai Da, from Huatai.
Since the war, most of the villagers in Huatai have fled. Only Bai was brave enough to stay and took over half of the village's land.
Although the harvest from the land was not much, we managed to survive.
Later, when the war ended and the villagers returned one after another, he still occupied the fields until the officers and soldiers came and forced him to vacate the land for other villagers to cultivate.
For this reason, Bai Da held a grudge against Li Yujiao. He felt that if Li Yujiao had not caused trouble, he would have become a landlord.
Later, he met with the former group of gentry and landlords again and found that they all hated Li Yujiao.
Some people even said: "If someone can make Li Yujiao disappear, I am willing to give out all my money!"
Bai Da listened to it and took the initiative to take the job. He decided to tie up Li Yujiao without anyone noticing when she went up the mountain, and then create a tragic scene where she slipped and fell from the mountain.
Li Yujiao was completely unaware of the impending danger.
She just wanted to collect more herbs. As long as there were enough herbs, drug dealers from outside would come here frequently to purchase herbs in the future.
Just as she found a angelica root, she felt someone behind her.
She thought it was Fu Yi.
Fu Yi is a bit stupid. Butler Li asked him to follow her, so he followed her closely.
She wasn't alert.
However, she was unexpectedly hit on the back of her head!
Then he fell down.
Bai Da's gang was very proud. They didn't expect to succeed so quickly!
"Brother Bai, what should we do next? Or should we just kill her?"
It is impossible to kill her now. If she is killed now, then when the autopsy is done later, we will know that she was murdered, and it will not be difficult to find them then.
Bai Da Dao: "Don't make any noise yet, this woman's loyal dog is still nearby."
"This woman has a bunch of dogs serving her, but she doesn't allow others to have slaves. I will not stop until she dies today!"
"..."
The group carried the unconscious Li Yujiao in a sack, intending to take her to a nearby cliff, throw her off the mountain, and then create the illusion that she had fallen off the cliff and died.
By then, no one will be able to find out that it was them who did it.
But if you want to fall off a cliff and die, you must find the steepest cliff.
The nearest cliff is some distance away from the top of the mountain, and one needs to cross half the hill.
Bai Da and his companions were carrying Li Yujiao. As soon as they passed the hill, they heard someone stop them: "Stop, what are you doing?"
Bai Da and his companions were panicked at first, but then they saw the man on the hillside with a red tie around his neck, and they recognized that he was from the Black Bear Village.
Above is Black Bear Mountain, on which there is a Black Bear Village, also called Green Forest Village.
Of course, the imperial court called them traitors.
The Black Bear Village existed before the war, and those who had been wronged in the past by the imperial court came here for refuge. During the war, they hid in this village and did nothing. Since the Black Bear Village was easy to defend but difficult to attack, neither the Xiling Army nor the Daqi Army could do anything to them.
When Bai Da saw that the person in front of him was from the Black Bear Village, he immediately felt relieved.
As long as they are not from Jing Qishan or the government, it will be fine.
"Brother, please help me. My brothers and I are passing by here and want to go to the hill ahead to dig some Dendrobium." Bai Dadao.
But the people from Black Bear Village looked at the sacks they were carrying and asked, "What's in your sacks?"
"Well... a wild boar I just caught, hehe."
Just at this moment Li Yujiao woke up.
When she woke up, she found herself in a sack with her hands tied and someone carrying her.
I didn’t expect that being put in a sack would happen to me!
She couldn't help but move, and then made a "hmm" sound.
