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

Strange.

It's very strange.

At first, it was my father and mother who were weird, but now, except for my two brothers, the whole family is weird.

Bai Xiang was eating breakfast, and from time to time he looked up at his grandmother, then at his second uncle and aunt, and then at his youngest uncle.

The little face that didn't know how to hide was full of confusion.

It's like there's a tangled mess of twine in his little head that won't get untangled or straightened out no matter how hard he tries.

Her eyes finally fell on her father's face, which was covered in bruises. An answer vaguely emerged in her mind, "Dad, did I dream about beating you like this?"

definitely is.

That's right.

Otherwise, her family wouldn't look at her in such a strange way!

Lin Dashan, "..."

Lin family, "..."

Girl, you are quite confident in your fists.

No, it may also be that they don’t understand Xiang Bao’s fist yet.

The adults looked at each other, then smiled and returned to normal.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, we have to go to the fields to check for water."

"There are more weeds in the vegetable garden. I'm going to pull the weeds and tidy up the vegetable patch this morning."

"I'm going up the mountain to chop wood. I'll see how things go in a couple of days. I plan to go hunting in the mountains. The rabbits and rats in the mountains are fat right now."

"I'm free this morning, so I'll continue to teach the kids about the Dari Code."

While eating, everyone talked about their plans for the day.

It's lively and bustling, without any gloom.

But no one mentioned tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the ten-day deadline given by the Chen family.

No one knows what situation they will face, but the family has already made up their minds and made plans.

Baixiangcao is a treasure. Ordinary people cannot protect it. If they want to live a stable life, they can no longer continue to grow it.

If the Chen family wants to rob it, let them rob it. Well, they can’t grow the crops anyway.

Some people are determined to get what they lost by any means necessary, who can stop them?

Even if they didn't grow the herb, their family is hardworking and now the pressure from all aspects has been greatly reduced. They can ensure that the adults and children in the family don't go hungry.

For ordinary people, just wanting to live a stable life with simple food and drink is enough.

The adults kept looking at each other in a different way. Bai Xiang scratched his head with his little paws and sighed dejectedly, "It's the Dari Code again..."

She doesn't feel interested in listening to this code of law.

Yesterday afternoon, my uncle talked about the code for a long time, but she had no interest at all and fell asleep with her eyes open.

After breakfast, the sun had just cast a tiny shadow in the yard, and the morning breeze was cool.

The Lin family members each picked up their sickles, hoes, and winnowing baskets and prepared to go out to work. Before they even walked out of the courtyard gate, they heard urgent shouts from outside.

"Dashan, Erhe! There are yamen runners coming to the village! They look aggressive and I'm afraid it's no good, you guys hurry up and hide!" Li Fugui held onto the fence, his face was blue because he ran too fast, and he was panting heavily, "I took a shortcut and ran back, I estimate they should be here soon, hurry up!"

The Lin family's hearts sank immediately.

Lin Cui'e cursed, "They're here so soon? The Chen family is a piece of shit! The agreed ten days haven't even come yet, and now they've sent the yamen runners to our house. They're so anxious to rob people, aren't they afraid of choking to death if they eat too fast?"

"Sulan, Cui'e, carry the children into the house and keep a close eye on them. Don't let them out!" Mrs. Lin put down the sickle and dustpan she had just picked up. Although she was panicking, she spoke in an unusually calm and organized manner. "Since they are here, we will wait in the yard. If they want the Hundred-Angel Grass, give it to them. Don't conflict with the servants. Don't let them find a chance to attack!"

Lin Dashan and Lin Erhe looked at each other and said, "I know!"

Lin Jiang pursed his lips and understood what his mother meant.

Whether or not to give the Baixiangcao is no longer a big deal. The most important thing now is to protect the Baixiang from being exposed in front of others.

If someone in the family was beaten or injured, given Bai Xiang's protective nature, he would definitely help.

It’s in front of everyone, so I can’t hide it!

The yamen runner arrived as soon as he said he would.

With a sword hanging from his waist, he rushed into the Lin family yard with a ferocious look on his face. The half-open door was kicked back and forth, making a creaking sound.

Lin Dashan glanced over and saw Captain Zhao, but this time Captain Zhao was walking behind him, and the one leading the way was another person with an unfamiliar face.

Lin Dashan felt even more depressed.

The first yamen runner came in and didn't even take a second look. He shouted coldly, "Catch the man and bring him back to the yamen!"

"What, what's going on?" Mrs. Lin was dumbfounded. She thought that the Chen family had sent people to steal the Hundred Xiang Grass, so why were they here to arrest people?

"Sir! You come in and arrest people without saying a word. How dare you ask what crime our Lin family has committed?" Lin Dashan stepped forward and blocked his family members behind him, and asked in a deep voice.

Lin Erhe was also anxious and angry. "My Lin family has always been law-abiding and has never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. Why are you arresting us?"

"Why?" The first yamen runner sneered, looking at the Lin family with contempt and indifference, "Someone has accused you, the Lin family, of poisoning people! There are witnesses, and as for the physical evidence... If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. When we get to the yamen, I'm not afraid that you won't confess! What are you still standing there for? Why don't you arrest the people and take them away?"

It was a big event when the yamen runners entered the village. Villagers would follow from a distance at the entrance of the village to watch the excitement.

At this time, the entrance of the Lin family's courtyard was surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside.

After hearing what the yamen runner said, the brave villagers stiffened their necks and spoke up for the Lin family. "We have been with the Lin family for decades. Who knows better than us what kind of people the Lin family is? Sir, are you going to arrest people just based on a few words from others without even checking? Don't you even know right from wrong?"

Mrs. Li's palms were sweating, but she also said boldly, "Your Excellency, please be wise! The Lin family are all law-abiding and honest people. It is impossible for them to hide poison and harm people. No one in our village has been harmed by poison for decades. I am afraid that some villain deliberately made false accusations for personal gain, and they are so bold that they dare to deceive you, Your Excellency!"

"Please be careful, sir!"

"Please be careful, sir!"

Even Captain Zhao, after hesitating for a while, stepped forward and bowed, "Wei Dianshi, I have dealt with the Lin family twice before, and I have some understanding of their character. They are definitely not the kind of people who would use poison to harm people. There may be other reasons behind this matter—"

"Shut up!" Wei Dianshi's eyes turned cold, and he shouted, "In a small Wutong Town, six people were poisoned at the same time within one day. Now they are all disabled and unable to speak or move. The victims are crying out for injustice! The severity of this case has never been heard of in Ma County in decades! Since they dared to sue and there are witnesses, it means that the Lin family is not free from involvement! The government office sent me from the county government to handle the case because they knew that the town government had a relationship with the Lin family and were worried that you would be partial to them! Captain Zhao, you only need to assist and do your job! For the sake of my colleagues, I kindly remind you not to pin the name of partiality on yourself!"

Captain Zhao gritted his teeth and finally retreated. He wanted to help the Lin family and say a few words, but his words were not influential.
