Since Zhou Sheng was so kind as to send over the venison, Yang Ruqing naturally wouldn't act coy and push it back and forth. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She scooped five kilograms of rice from the rice bin, plus two kilograms of wheat flour, and added ten duck eggs. She wrapped it all up in a package and asked Aunt Wang Cuilian to deliver it to Zhou Shengge's family.

Because of Yang Ruoheng's stable grain supply, the villagers from all around felt a sense of security.

Moreover, because the rice she sold was at a fair price, not the exorbitant prices found elsewhere, common people could afford it.

Here's the translated content:

Before this, within ten miles and eight villages, so many things happened. Children were sold, daughters starved to death to save sons, or like Fengzhi, who slept with people for a bit of rice...

It is precisely because of famines and droughts, because people are not getting enough to eat, or because they lack the money to buy grain that so many things have happened.

absurd, or cold, or selfish,

All the masks of pretense, before a famine that threatened their very existence, shattered, revealing faces stripped bare and brutally honest...

On Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full but people are not.

For Yang Huazhong's family, He Lanzhou, which was thousands of miles away from their home in Dahan, had long been silent.

Yang Ruqing had sent several letters via carrier pigeons, but received no reply. She asked a weapons escort from Qingshan County, who had done business with her twice before, to deliver a message. She wasn't sure if it would reach Dayan safely.

On the Luo family's side, Yang Ruqing and the others were also thinking about Luo Fengtang.

As the saying goes, "It's like walking with a tiger when you accompany a monarch," let alone that Luofeng Tang was going to meet another rebellious "tiger" in He Lan Prefecture. With two tigers vying for dominance, even though Yang Ruqing appeared calm on the surface and even tried to comfort her family, when she returned to her bedroom alone, she would sometimes sit at her desk for hours, or hold onto Luofeng Tang's clothes, lost in thought...

Grandmother Sun has recently passed away, and the Sun family is not in a cheerful mood.

Thus, this Mid-Autumn Festival, although every household made mooncakes and all sorts of delicious dishes as usual, everyone was putting on a brave face.

After dinner, Xiao An came to pick up Yang Ruqing and said that Lao Yangtou and several cousins and uncles (fourth and fifth) had all come. He asked Yang Ruqing to go over for a bit and talk about something.

Yang Ruqing is helping Luo Baobei and Dazhi wash their little feet.

Now that autumn has arrived and the weather is getting cooler, children have to soak their feet in hot water before going to bed at night.

Upon hearing Xiao An's words, Yang Ruqing was taken aback.

"It's just a bunch of old men chatting at night. Why are they calling me over? What's the matter?" she asked.

Xiao An said, "It seems to be about Grandpa in the southern part of the village."

Grandpa?

Yang Ruqing's eyes flickered.

Just the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, news came back from the county government to Changping Village.

Yang Zhenbang was sued by several families of victims because he sold poisonous rice, which led to deaths.

Because it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a public holiday, the County Magistrate of Zou detained Yang Zhenbang temporarily in the county jail and planned to hold his court trial after the festival.

If Yang Zhenbang shows a sincere attitude of admitting his mistake and provides appropriate compensation to the victim's family, it might be possible to show leniency.

Though one may escape death, one cannot avoid punishment for their crimes.

Even in prison, Yang Zhenbang remained unrepentant and refused to accept even this charge of living a crime.

He bribed a prison guard and escaped.

　Once he escaped, the situation became much more serious.

According to the laws of Da Qi, no matter what reason you have for entering the prison, even if you only stole a neighbor's egg or cucumber,

It was just a matter of putting up two boards, but if you escaped prison, hmph, that would be contempt for the laws of Qi and contempt for the Emperor.

Confiscate all of your assets and issue a nationwide warrant for your arrest. Once captured, you will be taken to the Washikou execution ground to have your head cut off as an example to others. This is just national law, upholding the authority of the ruler. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

So, when that news reached Changping Village, Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruqing were both dumbfounded.

Everyone couldn't have expected Yang Zhenbang to be so despicable, he's completely out of control!

The message came back in sync, the soldiers had confiscated and searched all of Yang Zhenbang's shops and cloth stores.

His newly built mansion in town was also sealed by the government. Nothing inside, from chests and cages to a single teacup, was allowed to be taken away.

Originally, Old Yang's intention was to keep this bad news from Young Yang and not let it worsen Young Yang's illness.

Everyone in the family had given the same account, but the soldiers were about to come to the village to search Old Yang's house.

Old Yang's family split into two groups. Old Yang Head and Yang Yongxian hurried to clear space for Little Old Yang Head and Little Old Yang Tai to stay.

While Yang Ruohong went to town with Yang Huazhong, finding the headman and pleading for a temporary reprieve from the soldiers.

Yang Ruqing then rode her horse to the county town at top speed to find County Magistrate Zou. County Magistrate Zou gave Yang Ruqing some face and, out of court, showed leniency and temporarily spared a search of Old Master Yang's household.

Here, Yang Ruohua retracted her thoughts. She told Luobao and Da Zhi: "You two be good and soak your feet. Mom will go next door to talk to Uncle Ga for a bit and come right back."

“Mother, you have to hurry up! You promised to tell us the story of Chang'e Flying to the Moon tonight!”

Baby Luo swayed a pair of white and tender little feet, seriously said.

On the sidelines, Da Zhi was also looking at Yang Ruohua with anticipation.

Yang Ruqing said: "Don't worry, mother promised things will definitely be done. You two listen to grandma first."

The two little guys nodded like chicks pecking at grain.

Yang Ruqing then addressed Tuoba Xian, who had already prepared herself aside: "Mother, please trouble yourself first."

"Tuoba Xian smiled gently and said, "Why are you being so polite with me? You two should hurry over there and not keep the elders waiting."

Yang Ruqing responded with a sound, turned around and pulled Xiao An, "Come on, let's go take a look."

The main hall of Yang Huazhong's house was brightly lit.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, there were two plates of ice skin mooncakes and several plates of melon seeds, peanuts, and orchid beans, as well as other snacks.

Old Yang sat at the head, with his nephew and brothers-in-law, Yang Huazhong and others, sitting according to their seniority and age order below him.

Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Liu, and Bao Suyun, the three sisters-in-law, were also there. Compared to the solemn expressions on the men's faces, the women seemed more cautious. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The vast hall was unexpectedly quiet.

Until Yang Ruoqing and Xiao An's footsteps arrived, the oppressive silence in the room remained unbroken.

“Qingya has arrived, everyone is here. Father, you called us over tonight, so please just tell us what you need.”

Yang Huazhong glanced at Yang Ruqing who had just entered the room, then turned to Lao Yangtou.

Old Yang pulled out the dry tobacco pipe from his mouth, which he had been stuffing but hadn't lit yet. He raised his eyelids and glanced at everyone, his gaze fixed on Yang Ruqing. "Ruqing, can you find a way to get in touch with your Uncle Zhenbang?"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruoqing was stunned. Could it be that she was called here tonight just to talk about this?

Yang Ruqing shook her head without hesitation: “I can’t find it, I don’t have such great supernatural powers.”

Yang Huaming hurriedly said, “Father, why are you asking Qing'er to find him at this moment? He’s a fugitive! If caught, he will be beheaded. Are you going to drag us into this mess and risk our family being raided as well? I haven't lived long enough!”
