The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

The sun is shining brightly and the rice is green.

Cicadas are chirping as if in competition on the bitter jujube tree.

The Yushui River was flowing gently, and the children who were afraid of heat rushed to the river bank to scoop up some cool water while the adults were washing clothes by the river.

The father and son of the Jin family were checking accounts in the study. They could hear the sound of hammers, women chatting loudly, and children laughing from the village entrance. Even though they were busy, smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.

"It's strange. It's a small village, and there are many inconveniences compared to the capital city, but it makes people feel comfortable here." Mr. Jin was holding an account book, and he didn't know whether he was reading it or not. He was happy, "I came here to live for a while, and I don't want to leave."

"Yuxi Village is surrounded by mountains and water, the villagers are kind and simple, and the atmosphere in the village is very good. It is like a paradise. Only in this place can you appreciate the goodness of it. It is a place suitable for spending the rest of your life."

Jinqianlai was calculating accounts and chatting, doing two things at the same time effortlessly. "Luckily we came early, Dad. I have a feeling that Yuxi Village has more prospects than this. I'm afraid the land for building houses here will not be enough in the future."

Mr. Jin narrowed his eyes, feeling happy. "What's the saying? Old ginger is always wise. If I hadn't acted decisively at the beginning, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to seize this opportunity today. Hahaha!"

Who would have thought that such a small and inconspicuous village could hold so many hidden talents?

Whether it is the dragon or the tiger, they both have connections with the Lin family.

It was really unfortunate that the Jin family arrived too early.

If you are a step slower, you will miss it even if you try to grab it.

"After coming here, Duobao has become more and more clever. Next time when I offer sacrifices to the ancestors, I will burn more incense sticks to thank them for their protection." Indeed, smoke was coming out of the ancestral tomb.

When talking about the little ancestor of the family, Jin Qianlai snorted, with the corners of his mouth raised high, "Duobao, that's called smart? That's called heartless, talking without respect all day long, and he dares to fart with anyone."

"What do you mean by heartless? Duobao is pure-minded and a pure child!" Mr. Jin raised the account book in his hand and wanted to slap his unfilial son on the head, but after thinking about his son's age, he gave him some face and refrained from doing it. "Why do you, as a father, dislike your own son all day long? You only say that Duobao is not good, why don't you talk about his good points? Duobao treats people sincerely and never pretends! He never considers the status of others when making friends, he is not a snobbish person! No one is perfect, Duobao is at most a little imperfect! The flaws do not outweigh the merits!"

"..." Jin Qianlai glanced at the account book in his old father's hand, and his mouth twitched. He was afraid of being beaten, so he didn't dare to say anything.

He is enjoying scolding him. Doesn't his father dislike him as his own son all day long?

It's like he just doesn't look right to me.

"Well! The accounts of the winery are correct. Although the initial investment was a bit large, it has been profitable since April, and the profit has been increasing every month. This month's profit has exceeded five thousand taels. It's not in vain. Perhaps the winery can be expanded further." Seeing the profit amount, Money came and he was in a good mood.

The winery brews rice wine, yellow wine, medicinal wine and Baixiang wine, with Baixiang wine being the main product.

Thanks to the reputation of Baixiang Liquor, the winery has never lacked orders, and the sales of other types of liquor have also been boosted.

Every time he meets them now, several partners would flatter him without asking for any money and praise him to the skies, which has made him dislike those people very much.

"Dad, Old Xu will be back this afternoon. He will bring two jars of wine with him. Let's go over and have some fun!"

"Right, right, I almost forgot about this. We're not going there to have fun, we're going to celebrate! Hahaha!"

The Lin family's recognition of their relationship only caused a sensation in a small area of ​​Wutong Town. For some reason, it did not spread outside.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier at the border of Wutong Town, perfectly shielding the town from other places.

After the small commotion, people continued to live their lives as usual, working from sunrise to sunset.

The news from here cannot spread out, but the news from outside spreads very quickly inside.

Old Xu passed the message that he would be able to return home in the afternoon, and the town began to shake slightly at noon.

Everyone was talking about a major case that had just opened in the city government office and was being tried in person by the prefect.

The most discussed place is the small teahouse in the town.

In the afternoon, if you want to escape the heat and have a few copper coins in your hand, you can invite three or five friends to sit in a small teahouse, order a pot of tea together, and chat with the people at the nearby tea tables, and immediately become one of their friends.

"It's from Dongzhou. I didn't find out where exactly. It's a serious matter. It's a murder case! A total of five lives were lost!"

"If you say that, people who don't know the truth will misunderstand you. Isn't that how rumors spread? There were indeed five lives, but that gentleman killed four people in the family first! When they came back for revenge, they didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but only took that gentleman's life!"

"It's so tragic! The man was drafted to the battlefield, leaving his parents, wife and children at home. That year, there was a drought in Dongzhou, and the whole family worked as slaves for the master's family in order to survive. Who would have thought that such a disaster would happen! The wife of the head of the family was born with a beautiful appearance, and the master targeted her! The young lady was also very hot-tempered. She refused to let the master succeed, and even threatened to report to the authorities to expose the evil deeds, which made the master angry and ordered people to beat the four members of the family to death!"

"But it's strange. The murder happened in Dongzhou, so why is the case being tried in Yuanzhou? Even if the man surrendered himself here, he should be escorted to the government office in his hometown."

"We don't know about that. Maybe there is something inside that we don't know. This case has been heard several times in Yuanzhou Yamen. There is an old lawyer who defended the man. He is very good at talking in the Yamen lobby! The man from the master's house was repeatedly questioned and was speechless and confused. Hahaha!"

"I've been talking about this and that but I haven't gotten to the point yet. Hasn't the case been tried yet? How was the verdict made?"

While the people were discussing among themselves, an inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage quietly passed by the small teahouse. The wheels of the carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs of the long street and sped all the way towards Yuxi Village.

The tea workshop has a lunch break. After eating, the workers either sit in the canteen and chat, or go back to the dormitory to lie down and rest.

The murmuring of human voices accompanied by the chirping of cicadas outside are the only sounds in the quiet midsummer afternoon.

Da da da--

Da da da--

There was the sound of horse hooves.

Lin Jiang and Xu Enhui were sitting by the window in the cafeteria drinking tea. When they heard the noise, they looked outside, then they looked at each other, stood up and walked out, both with happy expressions on their faces.

This made the other workers confused, and they also looked outside. Apart from a carriage passing by on the road, there was nothing special.

Lin Jiang and Xu Enhui came out quickly, but they were still not faster than the carriage. When they reached the side of the road, they only had time to face the rising dust.

This couldn't suppress the joy in their hearts.

That was the carriage that Xu Laoyue took when he went out a month ago!

The case of Cao Wu and others is over, and Old Xu is back!

During this month, those who stayed at home did not show it on their faces, but they were always thinking about the case in their hearts.

Not only them, but the whole village was worried about this case.

Now, the dust has finally settled.
