Chapter 111 Sweet Potato

A glimmer of hope flashed in Qiao Dinglian's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Madam is right. I also think that there must be a master behind this group of bandits. But I have limited connections in the local area, so it is difficult to find out."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let me help you check. Although I'm not completely sure, I will always try my best."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Dinglian stood up excitedly and bowed to Lu Yundi: "Madam, if you can solve this matter, I will be very grateful."

Mrs. Cheng looked at Lu Yundi with eyes full of gratitude.

Her eyes were gentle and her tone was mild: "Yun Di, since you are willing to help us, we have a chance of winning. Ding Lian, please sit down and let's discuss the countermeasures in detail."

Qiao Dinglian sat down as he was told, his eyes full of expectation. Lu Yundi gently stroked a celadon cup on the table, pondered for a moment, then looked up at Mrs. Cheng: "Cousin, in my opinion, this group of bandits was able to achieve such a scale in a short period of time, and the person behind them must be extraordinary. If we want to find out the truth, we must start from within them."

Mrs. Cheng nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "You are right. But how to find out the inside information is a difficult problem."

Lu Yundi smiled lightly and said, "This requires some extraordinary measures. I have some old acquaintances in the martial arts world, I can ask them for help."

Qiao Dinglian immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Madam, you are wise! I also have a few friends in the underworld who can help me."

Mrs. Cheng looked at the two of them, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, but she was also worried: "If there is really someone behind this group of bandits, then their purpose must be complicated. We must not only find out the truth, but also prevent them from causing trouble again."

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam, I think we can split our forces into two groups. One group will be led by me to find out who the master behind the bandits is; the other group will be led by Ding Lian to strengthen the monitoring of the bandits' activities to prevent them from causing trouble again."

When Qiao Dinglian heard this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best to protect the safety of the Cheng Mansion."

Mrs. Cheng nodded gently, her eyes full of trust: "I believe you. But this matter involves serious matters, so you must be careful."

After that, Madam Cheng took out a token from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Yundi: "This is the Cheng family's token. If you hold it, people in the martial arts world will give you some face."

Lu Yundi took the token, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Madam, rest assured, I will never let you down."

Qiao Dinglian also stood up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Cheng: "Cousin, I will arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible to ensure that everything goes well."

In the evening, Lu Yundi brought back a shocking piece of news: "Madam, I have found some clues. The mastermind behind this group of bandits is actually a senior official of the imperial court!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cheng's expression suddenly became serious: "Who is it?"

Lu Yundi said in a deep voice: "The son of the Minister of Justice, Zhao Wuji."

Madam Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "This matter is of great importance, we must proceed with caution. Ding Lian, what progress have you made?"

Qiao Dinglian immediately replied: "Cousin, I have strengthened the defenses of the Cheng Mansion and am also keeping a close eye on the movements of the bandits. But they are very cautious in their actions, and we have not found any direct evidence yet."

Madam Cheng nodded gently: "In that case, we will continue to act according to the plan. Yundi, you continue to investigate Zhao Wuji's clues; Dinglian, you strengthen the surveillance of the bandits. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and eliminate the harm to the court."

……

Mrs. Cheng looked at Lu Yundi with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "What is sweet potato?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She smoothed her clothes and said slowly, "Madam, this sweet potato is a good thing. It is native to Southeast Asia and is a kind of fruit grown in the ground. It looks like a potato, but it is sweeter than ordinary potatoes and rich in nutrients. It can satisfy hunger and nourish the body."

Madam Cheng frowned slightly, still somewhat puzzled: "If it is a product of Nanyang, how could it appear in our Cheng Mansion?"

Lu Yundi patted the table lightly and said, "This is the secret I want to tell my wife today. A few days ago, a distant relative of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion returned from Southeast Asia and brought the seeds of this sweet potato. I asked someone to try planting it in the mansion. Unexpectedly, this sweet potato has a strong adaptability and grows quickly. Now it is the harvest season."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Mrs. Cheng's eyes. She approached Lu Yundi and asked in a low voice, "Is this sweet potato really as magical as you said?"

Lu Yundi nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Madam, do you know that our country has suffered from disasters in recent years and the people are living in hardship? If these sweet potatoes can be widely planted in our country, it may alleviate some of the food crisis and allow the people to get through the difficult times."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that a woman like you would have such foresight."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said modestly: "Madam, you are too kind. I just wanted to do my best for the people of our country on a whim."

Mrs. Cheng became very interested in sweet potatoes, and she decided to go and check out the planting situation of sweet potatoes herself. So she called her maid and prepared to go to the sweet potato field.

On the way to the sweet potato field, Mrs. Cheng and Lu Yundi walked side by side, chatting and laughing all the way.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but look at Lu Yundi with admiration, thinking that she was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also had a heart to save the world and the people.

When she arrived at the sweet potato field, Mrs. Cheng saw a field of lush green sweet potato leaves in front of her eyes, and she was overjoyed. She carefully dug away the soil, revealing fresh and tender sweet potatoes, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "These sweet potatoes are really amazing, they are growing so beautifully."

Lu Yundi stood aside and explained with a smile: "Madam, this sweet potato has strong vitality, is drought-resistant and flood-resistant, and has a wide adaptability. As long as you take good care of it, you will definitely have a good harvest."

Mrs. Cheng nodded, and looking at the sweet potato field, a hope rose in her heart. She turned to Lu Yundi and said, "Sister Di, don't worry, I will fully support you in promoting sweet potato planting so that more people can benefit."

Lu Yundi looked at Madam Cheng gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes: "Madam, I will always remember your kindness."

Mrs. Cheng smiled and patted Lu Yundi's hand, saying gently: "Sister Di, I appreciate your kindness. However, sweet potato planting is no trivial matter, so we need to proceed with caution." After that, she turned and looked at the renovated land, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Madam is right. Although I am eager to promote it, I also know the difficulties. However, with your support, I believe we will succeed."

The two walked side by side on the path beside the sweet potato field, and the autumn sunshine shone on them, making them seem particularly warm.
