The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 35: The County Magistrate Learns of His Son's Death

Chen Youfu quickly got up, stood beside Lin Xi, and called him "Boss" with a silly smile!

Yuanyuan also happily leaned to the other side of Lin Xi and followed her brother to call him "big brother"!

Lin Xi looked at the two people who were extremely happy and said seriously: "If you learn martial arts from me, you will suffer. You saw me training Lin An just now. I didn't recognize any relatives during the training!"

"Lin Xi, don't worry. I'm not afraid of hard work. I will listen to you carefully and train well!" Chen Youfu patted his chest and promised.

"Sister Lin Xi, I am not afraid of hardship. I will definitely work hard!" Yuanyuan hugged Lin Xi's arm and said firmly.

Lin Xi looked at the attitudes of the brother and sister and nodded with satisfaction!

Then he turned to the smiling village head and his wife and said, "Uncle and aunt, let's go into the yard and sit down and talk!"

After saying that, he took Lin An's hand and walked towards his own yard with the village chief's family.

Cao had just finished preparing breakfast and was taking the food out from the kitchen when she looked up and saw Lin Xi and Lin An leading the village chief's family in. She was very puzzled.

She quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and went to greet him and said, "Village Chief, Sister-in-law, why are you all here? What's the matter?"

"Sisters, thanks to Lin Xi, we were able to rescue Yuanyuan in time yesterday. We came here specially to thank Lin Xi! There is one more thing. Youfu and Yuanyuan want to learn martial arts from Lin Xi, so we came here specially to present a gift to them as their apprentice!" The village chief's wife said with a smile, holding Cao's hand.

After saying that, she and the village chief put the things in their hands on the table nearby.

Cao looked at the table full of things, there was a basket of eggs, a piece of red cloth, a bag of brown sugar, and two pounds of noodles.

In the countryside, this is a very generous gift!

She quickly refused, "Sister-in-law, we can't accept these things. We all live in the same village, isn't it normal to help each other? How can we accept your gifts? Besides, you and the village chief have helped us a lot on weekdays!"

The village head's wife said sincerely, "Sister, please accept it. Lin Xi saved Yuanyuan's life this time! Besides, Lin Xi taught Youfu and Yuanyuan martial arts, so we have to show some appreciation, right? How can an ordinary person teach others his skills casually?"

Yuanyuan also stepped forward at this time, came to Cao's side and said cunningly: "Aunt, just accept it! This way I can learn all the skills of Sister Lin Xi with peace of mind!"

The village chief pushed all the things towards Cao, signaling her to accept them quickly!

Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled and said to Cao: "Mom, let's not be so formal with the village chief and his uncle. Let's collect the things! Didn't my father shoot a few pheasants yesterday? Give them back to the village chief and his uncle so that Yuanyuan can take good care of herself!"

After hearing what her daughter said, Cao stopped refusing and turned to the kitchen and took out three pheasants.

She put the pheasant in a basket and stuffed it into the hands of the village head's wife. Seeing that the village head's wife was about to refuse, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I accept all your things! Don't be polite to me. These pheasants are for Yuanyuan. It is important to nourish this girl!"

The village chief's wife thought that she really had to give her daughter a good nourishment. The relationship between their family and Dayong's family was getting closer and closer, so she didn't bother to be polite with Cao. She took the pheasant and said with a hearty smile: "Then I will accept it shamelessly. Sister, you haven't eaten yet, right? We won't disturb you, you can have breakfast quickly!"

After saying that, the village chief and his wife turned around and walked outside.

"Lin Xi, when can I start training with you?" Chen Youfu asked Lin Xi hurriedly when he saw his parents were about to leave.

"After you finish your work in the fields in the next few days and we harvest the second crop of Schisandra chinensis, we will start training!" Lin Xi replied.

"Okay Lin Xi, I'll come find you then!"

"Sister Lin Xi, when my injuries are healed, I will definitely come to train and will never be lazy!"

After the brother and sister finished speaking to Lin Xi, they turned around and quickly followed their parents back home.

Lin Xi went to the mountain to bring back his father who had gone hunting, and the family happily had breakfast!

The whole family was happy, but they didn't know that the county town was in chaos!

The county magistrate had recently made up his mind to discipline his son! So at dawn, he personally came to his son's yard and called him to read in the morning.

When he arrived at his son's door, he saw his son's personal servant Liu Quan, dozing off against the pillar in front of the door.

The county magistrate walked up to him and coughed heavily!

Hearing the cough, Liu Quan woke up with a start.

When he saw the master in front of him, he was so scared that he fell to his knees!

"Why are you standing outside the house? Hurry up and call the young master to get up and go to study with me!" the county magistrate ordered.

"Master, Master, this... Young Master, he, he..."

Liu Quan stammered, not knowing how to tell the master. The young master sneaked out last night and didn't come back all night!

"Tell me! What happened? What happened, young master? Did he act up again last night?" the county magistrate asked with a stern face.

"No! Master, yesterday the runner Fang called the young master out and he didn't come back all night!" Liu Quan gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Nonsense! He must have gone to his house again! Go find him quickly!" The county magistrate's face turned pale!

Recently, the incident of his son abusing a young girl has caused a lot of controversy. Somehow his mortal enemy found out about it and reported it to the prefect. He is about to be completely disgraced by this rebellious son!

Fortunately, he usually gave a lot of filial piety to the prefect, so the prefect just wrote a letter to reprimand him and told him a piece of news!

It is said that the Regent has recently started to govern the country. He hates corrupt officials and people who persecute the people the most, and he wants him to discipline his son and restrain himself!

He was determined to discipline his son, so he sat in the main hall with a grim face waiting for his rebellious son, and ordered the housekeeper to prepare the board!

"Master, master, something happened!!" Suddenly, Liu Quan stumbled in and shouted in panic!

"How reckless you are! Where is the young master? Why didn't he come back with you?" The county magistrate slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Master, the young master died in his yard!" Liu Quan collapsed on the ground, his face pale and terrified.

All he could think about now was the miserable appearance of the young master!

"What did you say?" the county magistrate stood up suddenly and asked in disbelief.

He felt a black screen in front of his eyes and the world was spinning!

After a pause, he bit the tip of his tongue hard, his eyes red, and gritted his teeth and blurted out a few words: "Come on, take me there!"
