Chapter 779: Developing Greenhouse Technology

On this day, Li Zheng's house was very lively. Many people gathered here, their faces full of doubts and uneasiness.

"Li Zheng, are the two people who came yesterday really the prime minister and the governor? Are they fake? What is their purpose of coming here?" A commoner asked first, his tone full of suspicion.

Others nodded in agreement and whispered among themselves.

"Yes, Li Zheng, we need to figure this out. If there is any problem, it will be troublesome."

Li Zheng suddenly turned red with anger after hearing the people's doubts.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you pretending? Who would pretend to be the prime minister and come here? Our place is so poor, who can deceive the people, and what can they deceive?" Li Zheng's voice was loud.

After everyone listened to Li Zheng's words and thought about it carefully, they felt that it made sense.

This place is so poor that there really is nothing worthy of being deceived by others pretending to be high-ranking officials.

"Li Zheng is right. Who in the backwoods of our country would come here to deceive people?" an old man said, stroking his beard.

"Maybe those two people are really the prime minister and the governor, maybe they are here to inspect the public sentiment." Another commoner speculated.

Everyone discussed it word by word. Although the doubts in their hearts were alleviated, they were still not completely eliminated.

They are looking forward to more evidence to prove the identities of the two people, and also hope that if it is really a visit from a high-ranking official, it will bring some changes to their lives.

After a while, Li Zheng came to Xi Yu's residence with a feeling of anxiety.

He was both nervous and expectant in his heart. He didn't know why these two adults were looking for him.

Li Zheng bowed respectfully, his expression respectful and reserved.

Seeing this, Xi Yu smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Li Zheng, there is no need to be so polite."

Xi Yu looked at Li Zheng and said seriously: "I came to you today because there is an important thing for you to do. We want you to gather the people together, and we want to promote greenhouse technology."

When Li Zheng heard this, he thought to himself: Greenhouse technology? What's this new thing?

But he also understood that since it was these two adults who proposed it, there must be some truth to it.

He nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will go door-to-door to promote it right away."

Li Zheng turned around and left, his footsteps hurried.

His heart was full of energy, thinking that he must get this thing done. As he walked, he was thinking about how to publicize this greenhouse technology to the people so that everyone could actively participate.

Xi Yu looked at Li Zheng's leaving figure. He believed that by promoting greenhouse technology, the lives of the people here would be improved.

On the other side, Lei Tianlong came to Fangjun City in a dusty journey. He stood in front of the palace, looking up at the majestic building, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Lei Tianlong strode forward, but was immediately stopped by the soldiers.

The soldiers had stern faces, weapons in hand, and looked at him warily.

"Stop! Don't break into the palace without permission!" the soldier shouted sternly.

Lei Tianlong was anxious and said quickly: "I'm here to report! Someone pretended to be the prime minister and governor and went to my village." There was a hint of anxiety and anger in his voice.

The soldiers looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. "What evidence do you have?" asked a soldier.

Lei Tianlong gritted his teeth and said: "I have no evidence, but I saw it with my own eyes. The behavior of those two people was very strange, and they did not look like the real prime minister and governor."

The soldiers frowned and thought for a moment. "You wait here, I'll report it." After finishing speaking, a soldier turned and left.

Lei Tianlong stood there, feeling uneasy.

He had already thought about it on the way. There was no harm in reporting this report anyway. If it was true, he might be rewarded; if it was false, it would be a wasted trip at most.

Thinking of this, Lei Tianlong felt a little more relaxed.

At this moment, a soldier came out and said to Lei Tianlong: "The prime minister did come to the palace and later left. As for the governor, he was not in the palace either. We don't know whether the two are together."

Lei Tianlong said "Oh" softly, thinking secretly in his heart. It seemed that the people who went to his village were indeed the prime minister and the governor, so his trip was in vain.

Lei Tianlong hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to leave.

On the other side, Xi Yu stood in front of the villagers, looking firm and confident.

He looked at everyone and said loudly: "Folks, we are indeed short of funds now, but it doesn't matter. I have sent secret guards back to get it, and funds will be available soon. We will start producing plastic greenhouses immediately, and then we will It’s starting to be used in the fields.”

Xi Yu's voice was loud and full of contagion.

However, many people had doubts on their faces after hearing Xi Yu's words.

They still seemed a little uncomfortable with this approach that they had never seen before.

An old man frowned and said, "Is this possible? What if it fails?"

Xi Yu understood the people's concerns and patiently explained: "Don't worry, everyone, I am confident that this method will be successful. Now we have no other choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse. If we don't try new methods Methods can never change the status quo.”

After hearing Xi Yu's words, the people still had doubts in their hearts, but they also felt that it made sense.

So, they all nodded and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Xi Yu's plan.

Xi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the attitude of the people had changed.

He knew that it would take time for the people to fully accept this new method, but as long as everyone worked together, they would succeed.

Lei Tianlong rode his horse and returned with a heavy heart.

That day, Lei Tianlong was getting closer and closer to his home, and a trace of joy gradually surged in his heart.

However, when he passed a remote section of the road, many bandits suddenly appeared.

Lei Tianlong was startled, holding the reins tightly, trying to keep himself calm.

"My dear friends, I am very poor and have no money at all. Please let me go." Lei Tianlong said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of pleading.

Several bandits looked at Lei Tianlong with fierce expressions on their faces.

"The people in the places we are looking for recently are very poor, so we must not let anyone go." A bandit said viciously.

Lei Tianlong's heart sank, and he knew that he might not be able to escape today.

His brain was working fast, trying to find a solution.

He looked at the weapons in the hands of the bandits, and his heart was full of despair.

"You can't do this. I have an old mother at home waiting for me to go back and take care of her." Lei Tianlong continued to beg.

The bandits were unmoved. They approached Lei Tianlong step by step, ready to rob his property.

Lei Tianlong closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Please, let me go. I really have nothing."

However, several bandits were not moved at all.

They showed fierce expressions on their faces, as if they had made up their minds.

"Since you have nothing, there is no point in keeping you." A bandit said viciously.

Lei Tianlong closed his eyes in despair. He knew that he had no chance of escape.

His heart was full of regret, regretting why he had to take this remote road.

Several bandits raised their weapons and chopped at Lei Tianlong fiercely.

Lei Tianlong only felt a sharp pain, and then lost consciousness.

The blood stained the ground red, and Lei Tianlong's body lay there quietly, motionless.

The bandits took a look at Lei Tianlong's body, then turned and left, continuing to look for their next target.

Unknowingly, Xiyu had been in this village for several days.

During this time, he devoted himself to the promotion of plastic greenhouses, which was busy but fulfilling.

At this time, the dark guards sent out finally came back.

They brought a lot of funds and materials, which made Xiyu's heart full of joy and expectation.

He knew that with these resources, their plan could be smoothly carried out.

At Lei Tianlong's home, Lei Tianlong's wife Fang Dasao was anxious.

She didn't wait for Lei Tianlong to come home, and her heart was full of worries.

She asked everyone about Lei Tianlong's whereabouts, but many people didn't see him.

Fang Dasao walked around the house anxiously. She estimated the time and Lei Tianlong should have returned long ago. "What's going on? Will he be in trouble?" Fang Dasao's heart was full of anxiety and fear.

She decided to go to the village to ask other people to see if anyone knew about Lei Tianlong.

Some people speculated that maybe he had encountered bandits.

When Mrs. Fang heard what the villagers said, her face turned pale instantly. "Encountered bandits?" This news was like a bolt from the blue, and she was shocked.

A strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, because this possibility was entirely possible.

Mrs. Fang spent a long day in anxiety, and it was dark again.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the villagers' speculation might be correct, and the fear in her heart became stronger and stronger. So, she decided to find the head of the village, hoping that he could help find a solution.

Mrs. Fang hurried to the head of the village, and the head of the village only then knew that Lei Tianlong suspected that the prime minister was fake and actually went to Fangjun City.

The head of the village suddenly sank, and he accused: "You two are really making a fuss! How could the prime minister and the governor be fake? Aren't you making trouble for no reason?"

Mrs. Fang was full of grievances, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Mr. Li Zheng, we are just worried about the safety of the village. Now Tianlong is missing, what should I do?" Her voice was trembling and full of helplessness.

The Li Zheng sighed, feeling a little reluctant.

"Don't think too much now, we have to find a way to find Lei Tianlong quickly. If he really met bandits, it would be dangerous." The Li Zheng frowned and began to think about countermeasures.

The Li Zheng made a prompt decision and quickly sent villagers outside to inquire about Lei Tianlong's whereabouts.

The villagers took the order and left, looking for clues everywhere in the night.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere became more and more tense and solemn. The Li Zheng paced anxiously in the house, worried in his heart.

At very late, the villagers who went out finally came back.

Their faces were heavy, and they brought a sad news.

"Mr. Li Zheng, we found Lei Tianlong's body. It turned out that he was indeed killed." The villagers' voices were low and full of sadness.

When Mrs. Fang learned the news, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Her body shook violently, and her face turned pale instantly. She was so grief-stricken that she collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting.

"Tianlong! Why did you leave like this? How can we live like this?" Her cry was so shrill that it broke people's hearts.

The surrounding villagers gathered around, some comforted Sister Fang, while others sighed silently. The whole village was immersed in grief.

Li Zheng looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and his heart was filled with guilt and sadness.

He secretly vowed to find a way to avenge Lei Tianlong and let those bandits receive the punishment they deserve.

Sister-in-law Fang collapsed on the ground, her mournful cries echoing in the night air.

When many villagers learned about this, they came over to surround her and offered words of comfort.

"Sister Fang, don't be too sad. It's important to take care of yourself." A woman said softly, her face full of sympathy.

"Yes, Sister Fang, Lei Tianlong is gone, you still have children, you have to be strong." An old man comforted her with sincere words.

However, Sister-in-law Fang was still immersed in tremendous grief and could not extricate herself. Her tears kept pouring out, her cries not abating at all.

"My Tianlong, why are you so cruel to abandon us..." Mrs. Fang cried and told the pain in her heart.

The villagers felt very sad when they saw Mrs. Fang being so sad.

They know that at this time, any words are useless. But they still refused to leave and stayed with Sister Fang silently, hoping that she could gradually come out of her grief.

On the second day, the sun shone in the village, but it could not dispel the sadness that filled the air.

With a heavy heart, Li Zheng informed Xi Yu about the murder of Lei Tianlong.

After hearing this, Xi Yu frowned slightly. A feeling of pity surged in his heart, and he decided to go and express condolences to Mrs. Fang.

Xi Yu came to Sister Fang’s house. Sister-in-law Fang's eyes were red and swollen, her expression was haggard, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

Xi Yu walked up to Sister Fang and said softly: "Sister-in-law, my condolences. I heard what happened to Brother Lei, and I felt very sad. Please take care of yourself and be strong for the sake of your child."

Sister Fang looked at Xi Yu and couldn't help but shed tears again. "Sir, Tianlong is gone like this, what will we do in the future?"

Xi Yu held Sister Fang's hand and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely make those bandits get the punishment they deserve."

After hearing Xi Yu's words, Sister Fang felt a little warm in her heart. She looked at Xi Yu gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir."

Xi Yu sighed and said, “This is what I should do.

But then, Sister Fang seemed to be overwhelmed by grief. She suddenly went crazy and accused her emotionally: "It's all because you came into the village to cause trouble! If you didn't come in, my husband wouldn't suspect that you were..." If he’s fake, he won’t go out, let alone encounter such a thing!”

Xi Yu looked at Sister Fang, feeling full of guilt.

He understood Sister Fang's pain, so he comforted her softly: "Sister-in-law, don't think nonsense. This is just an accident, and we don't want to see such a thing happen." Xi Yu's eyes were full of sincerity and sympathy.

However, Sister Fang couldn't listen to anything at this time. She rushed forward and beat Xi Yu severely.

Xi Yu didn't resist, he silently endured Sister Fang's attack.

"If it makes you feel better, then hit me." Xi Yu said softly.

The people around wanted to step forward to stop Sister Fang, but Xi Yu waved his hand to signal them not to move.

After a while, Sister Fang seemed to be tired from the beating. She stopped, collapsed on the ground, and cried loudly again.

Xi Yu looked at Sister Fang and secretly vowed to avenge Lei Tianlong and restore the peace to the village.

Xi Yu's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed firm determination.

He gave a serious order to the secret guard beside him: "We must capture the bandits nearby. You must complete it within three days."

The secret guard knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully: "Yes, sir! I will definitely live up to my orders."

Then, the secret guard stood up and left quickly. His figure disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost.

Looking at Xi Yu's actions, Mrs. Fang's anger calmed down a little.

She knew that Xi Yu really wanted to avenge her husband. She wiped away her tears silently, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart. She hoped that the secret guards would catch those bandits as soon as possible and seek justice for her husband.

Next, Sister-in-law Fang stood up slowly and suddenly knelt down in front of Xi Yu.

Her face was full of shame, and her voice trembled as she said, "Sir, you were really out of your mind just now. Think about it carefully, you didn't bring this bandit to me, Prime Minister. I was just confused for a moment, so please forgive me." "

Sister-in-law Fang lowered her head, with tears still shining in her eyes.

Xi Yu quickly stepped forward to help Sister Fang, and comforted her in a soft tone: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be like this. I understand your current situation, and the pain of losing a loved one is really unbearable. I hope you can express your condolences and take care of yourself."

Sister-in-law Fang felt a warm current in her heart as she listened to Xi Yu's comfort.

She nodded slightly, trying to control her emotions.

"Thank you for your understanding and tolerance. I will try my best to cheer myself up." Although Mrs. Fang's voice was still a little choked, there was more determination in her eyes.

Next, Xi Yu said a few words and finally left.

After all, he still has a lot of things to do, and this matter is also known to the majority of villagers.

So they kept praising the prime minister for really loving the people like a son.

But they also really pinned their hopes on Xi Yu, hoping that he could really catch the bandit.

The bandits kept doing evil here. Although they were poor, they were often harassed and suffered a lot.

After Xiyu returned to his residence, Ouyang Lian suddenly became very curious.

"Prime Minister, I want to ask you, what is this greenhouse technology? How did you come up with this idea?"

Xiyu smiled slightly and said that he saw it in a book. (End of this chapter)
