Chapter 179 Things are finally getting better.

After the incident, Jiang Yutang was sent home by Cheng Lanzhou's personal guards that night and fell asleep immediately.

The next morning, she stepped out of the room from behind the curtain with her shoulder-length, uneven hair.

"Tang'er, what happened to you last night..." Madam Yun held a cup of hot milk tea and looked at her, but her pupils widened when she saw her hair, and she almost dropped the cup.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shengan looked up and was startled as well.

Her family was so shocked by her appearance that they were speechless.

The girl who used to love dressing up now has messy hair of varying lengths, which is really heartbreaking.

"Hehe, I'm fine."

Jiang Yutang scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "Things were too urgent at the time, and I had no choice but to cut my hair. I hope you won't blame me."

But Yun Shi and Jiang Shengan looked at her with nothing but heartache, and could not bear to blame her.

Mu quickly pulled her back to her room, found scissors and a comb, and carefully trimmed her hair neatly.

Although her hair wasn't as flowing as it used to be, it still looked refreshing and neat.

Jiang Yutang didn't care about other people's opinions and continued to manage the shop as usual. However, she couldn't help but miss Cheng Lanzhou since she hadn't seen him for several days.

Jiang Songzhi saw through her thoughts and comforted her, saying, "Instead of worrying at home and feeling miserable, why not go to the military camp yourself to see for yourself and put your mind at ease."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang immediately nodded, turned around and rushed to the military camp, even bringing a bottle of chilled cola from the store.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Lanzhou arrived at the tent and saw Jiang Yutang smilingly handing him a bottle of black beverage.

He raised an eyebrow and took the bottle, his fingertips touching its cool surface. "What's this?" he asked in surprise.

The weather in Danzhou is getting colder and colder, and it looks like it's going to snow soon. The water in the well has already turned as cold as an ice cave.

"This is our hottest new product in the store recently, it's called Coca-Cola, you should try it." Jiang Yutang rested her chin on her hand, looking at him with shining eyes.

Cheng Lanzhou unscrewed the bottle cap, and with a hissing sound, he tentatively took a sip. His eyes widened instantly, and his brows furrowed.

Seeing his strange expression, Jiang Yutang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How is it? Delicious, right?"

"The taste is very strange, it feels like the sweet water is fighting in my mouth." Cheng Lanzhou said, and couldn't help but take another sip. The icy liquid slid down his throat, instantly dispelling the fatigue of days of interrogation, and his chest was filled with a refreshing feeling of bubbles.

Jiang Yutang smiled and instructed, "It tastes best when it's chilled, but don't shake it before drinking, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

Cheng Lanzhou put down the bottle, pulled her to sit down at the table, and asked with a smile in his eyes, "Besides bringing drinks, is there anything else you need today?"

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you in a long time since that incident, and I was a little worried, so I came to check on you," Jiang Yutang said frankly.

Cheng Lanzhou held her hand and said softly, "It'll be over soon, do you want to go take a look?"

Jiang Yutang was taken aback, then her curiosity was piqued: "Who are you looking at? Magistrate Li?"

The two arrived together at the interrogation room deep inside the military camp. As soon as they entered, a bone-chilling cold swept over them.

Jiang Yutang shuddered and quickly asked, "You didn't actually torture him, did you?"

"He deserved it, so why not?" Cheng Lanzhou said coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

“But his family background is what it is. Even if he is convicted this time, aren’t you afraid that his family will retaliate?” Jiang Yutang asked worriedly, her brows furrowed.

Cheng Lanzhou sneered, her tone full of confidence: "That depends on whether they have the ability to make a move on Danzhou's land."

Looking at his arrogant and domineering demeanor, Jiang Yutang found him extremely charming.

Seeing that no one was around, she stood on tiptoe, cupped Cheng Lanzhou's face, and kissed him hard, praising, "That's right! You are the boss of Danzhou!"

Cheng Lanzhou was caught off guard by her sudden action, her ears turning slightly red. She chuckled and said, "I never said I was the boss."

Pushing open the innermost door, Jiang Yutang peeked out and her eyes widened instantly.

Hanging from the wooden stake directly in front of him was a bald man, none other than Magistrate Li!

"You shaved his head?"

Cheng Lanzhou crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Not only him, I also shaved the head of that traitorous soldier."

Jiang Yutang clicked her tongue and stepped forward. Li Tongpan sensed someone approaching and trembled in fright, wailing repeatedly, "I'll confess! I'll confess everything! Please stop torturing me!"

Jiang Yutang was startled by his cowardly appearance. Seeing that there were no signs of torture on Li Tongpan's body, he had already been tortured to the point of psychological collapse.

What magical method did Cheng Lanzhou use?

Cheng Lanzhou, who was standing to the side, said, "A few days ago, I sent someone to inform the capital about this matter as quickly as possible, and the recording pen was also sent up. Unfortunately, it can never be retrieved."

"It's a minor issue, we'll fix it if it's not there." Jiang Yutang waved his hand dismissively. "So what's next?"

"The imperial court should send someone to Danzhou soon to deliver the instructions, but the position of Prefect Li is vacant, and it is still unknown who will be sent to replace him."

Cheng Lanzhou stared at the candle, lost in thought.

Jiang Yutang shrugged: "It doesn't matter, as long as he's a good official who stands up for the people."

After news of Li Tongpan's arrest spread, the officials who used to oppress the people no longer dared to cause trouble, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.

As corrupt officials fell from power, the agricultural techniques promoted by Jiang Yutang and Jiang Jiuze gradually began to bear fruit. Improved farming tools and new planting methods brought about a new transformation in Danzhou, even in the snowy winter.

With a good harvest, people's lives gradually became more prosperous.

Ever since the overloading incident during her last time travel, Jiang Yutang has been extra cautious when bringing things back from the modern world.

She had to transport the cattle, sheep and pigs she had previously ordered back to Danzhou in five separate trips, and she dared not take the risk of ordering too much again.

To ensure the livestock were well-fed, she brought not only well-rotted organic fertilizer from modern times and fodder specifically for growing livestock, but also a balanced pig feed.

This novel feed had an exceptionally good effect. The piglets grew plump and round in less than a month, and the cattle and sheep were much stronger than those of other farms. Moreover, the cost was 50% lower than that of feeding with grain.

The news quickly spread in Danzhou. Someone embellished the story, spreading rumors that these fertilizers and feeds were "miracle drugs" that Jiang Yutang had figured out himself.

No matter how she explained, the people believed she was a female bodhisattva who had descended to earth to save them from suffering.

After this happened several times, Jiang Yutang got tired of explaining and simply let things take their course.

What delighted her even more was that, because of her meritorious service in assisting in the arrest of Judge Li, the higher-ups, after discussion, specially issued a document approving the vacant plot of land behind her shop to both of them.

She had been eyeing this piece of land for a long time, planning to use it to build a large house that could accommodate her whole family. Now that her wish had come true, she immediately began planning.

In order to transport cement and steel bars for building the house, Jiang Yutang timed his journey between the modern era and the ancient era repeatedly, precisely according to the time points he traveled through.

He would secretly transport the supplies into the warehouse under the cover of night, and then direct the craftsmen to carry out the construction during the day.

She specifically sought out a modern designer to draw up detailed villa plans and personally supervised the entire construction process, fearing that the craftsmen might not be familiar with modern building techniques.
