Chapter 67 Villagers Help
Not far behind the two, a hunchbacked old lady leaning on a wooden stick stood by the wall for a while, then turned and walked back.
In addition to receiving a birthday gift from the family, Yin Miao also received a wooden box from Xiao Xuan. Yin Miao, who thought it was a jade again, was stunned after opening the wooden box.
It was an exquisite dagger, or it could be called a short knife. In the center of the scabbard was a very eye-catching piece of gold inlaid with jade. After the blade was pulled out, it reflected a slight cold light and looked extremely sharp.
Yin Miao fell in love with this knife instantly.
“Thank you Young Master Xiao, I like it very much.” Yin Miao said to Xiao Xuan, who rarely ate with them.
“As long as you like it.”
Xiao Xuan also had a smile in his eyes, this was the second time he had given her a short knife, and he could see that she really liked it this time.
“Miss Xiao spent money.”
Yin Bowu knew at a glance that it was a valuable knife, but Xiao Xuan was able to find such a thing in this mountain, and his eyes could not help but flash a gleam of light.
“If Miss Yin likes it, it’s not a waste of money.”
Xiao Xuan coughed again after speaking.
“I saw that the medicinal meal was very useful last time, why don’t I prepare some more for Young Master Xiao?”
Wei Shi asked with concern.
“Mrs. Wei’s trouble, but my bones are not going to get better in a day or two.”
Xiao Xuan’s expression did not change.
Mr. Wei nodded, but he didn’t give up the plan to make medicated meals. After all, the last time Miao’er brought it back, the bowl was empty.
The family was chatting happily when there was a slight knock on the door.
“I gonna go see.”
Yin He knew that the uncle and the third uncle should not show up at this time, so he jumped off the chair.
Yin Zhenghong also hurriedly followed.
Mr. Wei suddenly became nervous. She stood at the entrance of the hall from a distance and looked out of the courtyard. She found that the person was Grandma Zhang from the village, and she felt relieved.
“Mother Zhang?”
Yin Miao still remembered the very thin and thin Granny Zhang, who would stuff her with a few small taro every time.
Yin Zhenghong was still outside the door, but Yin He quickly ran back with a serious face and said, “Uncle, Granny Zhang said just now that Sun Heshun is going to report you to the official, and the official should already know.”
“what?!”
Yin Bowen was so shocked that he almost slipped off his chair. Is it Sun Heshun again?
“Then what should we do now? Why don’t you hide first.”
Wei Shi and the two sisters are a bit of a godsend.
“Mom, don’t worry, even if the officials want to come over, they should pass through Lizheng first. Let’s go to inquire about the news first.”
Yin Miao comforted that the people who should come will always come, but no matter what, they cannot let the officials take away Yin Bowu and the others.
After hearing what Sun Heshun said, Lu Cunxin did not rush to arrest people, but continued to look at the quality of the food delivered. Generally, as long as the food was not mixed with too much debris, he would turn a blind eye. Just let it go.
“I know what you said, and I will ask Wei Lizheng for confirmation later.”
Lu Cunxin only glanced at Sun Heshun and replied without raising his head.
“Sir, what I said is true. Those from their family fled to our village overnight, and two of them murdered without blinking an eye!”
Sun Heshun didn’t get the reaction he expected, and continued to add fuel to his words.
When it comes to killing people without blinking an eye, Lu Cunxin has to take it seriously. Could it be that there is some kind of murderer?
Sun Lian was lying on the wall not far away, looking at Sun Heshun with two officials walking towards Wei Lizheng’s house with a face full of surprise, and couldn’t help but get excited.
Those officials believed it! They’re going to get arrested!
And when Wei Li, who had been in the courtyard, saw Sun Heshun coming, he knew something was wrong.
“Wei Lizheng, is what this villager said just now true?”
Lu Cunxin asked sharply.
Wei Lizheng could not wait to beat up the troubled Sun Heshun, but he also knew that he couldn’t lie in the face of the official’s inquiry, so he immediately explained to Lu Cunxin.
Lizheng’s daughter-in-law was too frightened to speak, did the official officer really want to investigate this matter?
“You mean, those two kung fu people killed mountain bandits?”
Lu Cunxin asked.
“Exactly, if it wasn’t for their help, hundreds of people in our village would probably have been slaughtered, sir, please check.”
Wei Lizheng explained.
Lizheng’s daughter-in-law was also frightened and said quickly, “It’s a real official messenger. Their family is all good people. They even take the villagers up the mountain to find food. They have never done anything out of the ordinary.”
Lu Cunxin also believed most of them. After all, he had also heard about the killing of mountain bandits in Changling Village. Previously, he was just curious, but he did not expect that there were really people helping these villagers.
“I will go to verify what Wei Lizheng said, so don’t be nervous. Since ancient times, once the charge of exile has been established, there is no precedent for double sin. If what you said is true, I will make a decision on my own. ”
Lü Cunxin saw that the two were facing great enemies, so he comforted him.
“Sir, then a few of them came to live in the village but didn’t report it…”
Sun Heshun didn’t expect Wei Lizheng to fool the official with just a few words.
“Who said I didn’t report it? We already know what you said, and we will find out the truth next.”
Lu Cunxin said.
It was just that he did not expect that when he was walking towards the exiled family with several officers, he encountered dozens of villagers and stopped there.
“Master official, please spare the Yin family members, they are all our saviours.”
Fang Tianhai took the lead and shouted.
“Yes, sir, if the bandits come back to the village, we, the unarmed farmers, will have no way to protect ourselves.”
“The county government can’t catch the bandits and go to catch good people. Which county government is this?”
“If the official messenger takes them away, we will simply be a fugitive. It just so happens that the food will not be handed in.”
I don’t know who said this in the crowd, but it made Lu Cunxin laugh angrily.
Those who evade taxes are runaways. If there are too many runaways in a county, it will affect the performance of the county magistrate, but the runaways themselves are not much better.
“Don’t worry, everyone, I’m not here to arrest people, I just received a report from someone, so I’ll take a look at the situation.”
Lu Cunxin and others were also quite surprised. It was the first time they saw a villager in a village defending others like this, which made him even more interested in the exiled family.
“Really don’t arrest people?”
Ma Cuihua was still worried and asked again.
Seeing Lu Cunxin nodding, the villagers hesitated to open the way.
“Let’s get out of the way first, Master Lu naturally won’t lie to us.”
Seeing that Wei Lizheng also came forward, the villagers gave way, but they looked at Lu Cunxin with defensive eyes.
