The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The square-faced yamen runner remained calm upon hearing this and looked at Lin Dajiang, "The county magistrate will make the final decision."

Lin Dajiang chuckled, "That's right, that's right. The county magistrate is a man of high moral character and will seek justice for us."

The bailiffs came and went in a hurry.

When he left, he took three thieves with him.

Ping'an wanted to go back and report to Boss Gu, so he followed the bailiff.

The Lin family lives in a remote area, and no one knows the inside story except Li Erli's family.

The four brothers of the Li family wanted to go back at night, but were stopped by Li Taohua, "It's dark, it's not safe to go at night."

Lin Dajiang is extremely grateful to his four brothers-in-law, as he relied on them to help him at the critical moment.

"I'll take Lidong and Jingzhe to squeeze in, Taohua and Guyu to Xiaoman's room, and I want my brothers-in-law to squeeze in the main room. A few days ago, we made a chair and we can sleep on the floor. Let's take a day off tomorrow and have lunch before going back."

Farmers sleep on the ground when they are busy, especially in the hot summer when they have to sleep on straw mats.

The four brothers of the Li family didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

On the contrary, I feel that Taohua’s house is really spacious.

-

Liu San was an alcoholic and often missed reports when drunk, but Young Master Liu didn't mind.

Young Master Liu didn't realize something was wrong until noon the next day, after waiting for Liu San for a long time and still no result.

Except for Liu San, even the people Liu San took out did not come back.

He hurried to find Landlord Liu.

When Landlord Liu found out what his son had done, he immediately flew into a rage, "You have nothing better to do than to start a business with your stupid head?"

"Even if we lose all our money, it won't be enough to pay for your tuition. Give up on this idea as soon as possible!"

Landlord Liu changed his usual kind attitude and started cursing at his son.

Young Master Liu shrank his body and dared not move.

There was resentment in his eyes.

Why does the insignificant Lin Xiaoxue say he is so great, while his closest father always criticizes him for being incompetent?

Why?

It's inconvenient to go anywhere in Shanglin Village, a remote place.

He didn't want to be like his father, guarding hundreds of acres of fertile land and living a boring life day after day and year after year.

He read a lot of picture books.

He envied the hustle and bustle and extravagance of Lin'an Prefecture and didn't want to stay in the countryside with a bunch of peasants.

Unfortunately, his father's kind face, like Maitreya Buddha, has never appeared in front of him.

Landlord Liu cursed for a long time before he calmed down, "Go back, don't go out if you don't have anything to do recently."

Young Master Liu knew that his father would step in to settle the matter.

It’s a pity that we didn’t get any news about Bingliangdong.

-

Young Master Liu was put under house arrest. Landlord Liu was very disappointed with his young master and immediately went to Jialin County and knocked on the door of the county magistrate's house.

Then he drove the carriage straight to Lin'an Prefecture.

Little did he know that from the moment Landlord Liu stepped out of Shanglin Village, someone had been following him all the way.

His tail could see clearly who he met.

The previous magistrate of Jialin County was dismissed, and a new magistrate took office. He was the youngest son of the chief judge of the Dali Temple in the capital.

His family expected him to live a life of leisure and wealth, but he did not play by the rules and took the imperial examinations all the way to the palace examination, becoming a second-class Jinshi. With his high ranking, he could have stayed in the six ministries, but he chose to be a seventh-rank magistrate in a small county far away from the capital.

Less than a month after he took office, natural disasters occurred frequently in the north, and the victims fled south, with Lin'an Prefecture bearing the brunt.

The old lady of Zhen's house, the Minister of Dali Temple, was worried about her little grandson. She lost her appetite and could not sleep at night.

The worried Master Zhen sent dozens of capable servants to the south overnight to provide enough money, food, clothes and men, and only then did the old lady start eating again.

County Magistrate Zhen came to a remote place like Jialin County because he wanted to get away from his family, but his family still kept sending him gifts. One month after he took office, the gifts almost filled up an entire warehouse.

County Magistrate Zhen, who was feeling sulky, heard someone reporting to the police and decided to take action against the beggar.

It was just their bad luck that they happened to be in a bad mood.

County Magistrate Zhen sent people to arrest the beggar and brought him to justice. Just when he wanted to take a breath, the wealthy businessman, Mr. Gu, sent someone to report that a beggar had escaped and fled to Shanglin Village to cause trouble.

So he sent his trusted aide to run another errand with the yamen runners.

The three people who were captured were interrogated overnight. They did not mention a word about the beggar incident, but instead confessed that the son of a local squire was trying to seize his food.

"Sir, the victim Lin Dajiang may have framed me maliciously." The county magistrate smiled flatteringly, "Such a small matter does not require your intervention."

County Magistrate Zhen said "Oh" with a smile.

There is no gain without pain. Since his arrival, the county magistrate, who used to take a back seat in everything, has changed his previous style.

He actually wanted to take on the interrogation work.

Of course County Magistrate Zhen had to satisfy him, so he returned to his house and called over two of his confidants. After spending half an hour in the study, one of them, a square-faced man who Lin Dajiang recognized as a yamen runner, went out with a sword.

The weather was calm for a few days.

Lin Dajiang was nervous.

Thinking back on what I said to the bailiff at the last moment, I now regret it.

He had just made it up. There had been no news for so many days, so he was afraid that the square-faced yamen runner had not passed on the message to the county magistrate.

One day, a large number of yamen runners rushed into Shanglin Village and broke down the heavy door of Landlord Liu's house.

An hour later, Landlord Liu and his family members, servants, and about a hundred people were taken away.

A few hours later, one mahogany box after another was carried out from the Liu family's gate, a total of 182 boxes.

The people in Shanglin Village and Xialin Village were in an uproar.

"Landlord Liu is in trouble?"

"Heaven has eyes, Xiao Cui, you open your eyes in heaven and see clearly that Landlord Liu's property has been confiscated."

"That mahogany box is filled with silver, right? My God, how much silver would there be for so many machines?"

"It would be nice if there was a hole in the box and some silver fell out."

"Mother Goudan, if I give you the silver that fell, would you dare to take it? I'm afraid you'll be caught by the bailiffs the moment you leave."

Goudan's mother was shocked and said, "Nonsense."

"That's dirty silver! Tell me, am I kidding!"

Goudan's mother: "I was just saying it casually. I don't have the guts."

Lin Dajiang and his family mingled with the crowd to join in the fun.

The surrounding villagers kept listing the crimes of landlord Liu and shouted that God had a bright future.

Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that her father had guessed it right by accident.

Landlord Liu actually committed a crime.

In this way, the stone that was pressing on them was lifted.

She noticed that Lin Dajiang was worried these days.

The house search lasted for several days.

Boxes were carried out from Landlord Liu's house one after another.

Ordinary people didn't dare to get close, and the yamen runners with knives stood guard at the door with a grim look on their faces.

The village was bustling for several days, and people from several nearby villages came to watch.

The Lin family only joined in the fun on the first day, and when they realized they couldn't get any useful information, they just did what they had to do.

Lin Jingzhe fed the rabbits more carefully, and Lin Guyu also figured out the trick to digging earthworms.

Everyone in the Lin family is particularly concerned about selling frozen foods.

Because the landlord Liu had confiscated his property, every afternoon, Lin Jingzhe carried a load on his shoulder and went to a big tree not far from Liu's house to sell frozen food.

Many of the yamen runners who came here to confiscate property were transferred from nearby counties.

In the hottest weather, I do the hardest and most tiring work, but I don't get any benefits at all.

Lin Jingzhe always fills the frozen treats he sells with a big spoonful of sugar water.

After a few days, he became familiar with several yamen runners from neighboring counties and found out that landlord Liu had committed a serious crime.

Landlord Liu was extremely bold. He was indeed a beggar, but he was not an ordinary beggar.

For more than ten years, he has been sending people to Prince Shen. There are three secret agents in Lin'an Prefecture, and Landlord Liu is one of them.

Most of the disappearance cases in Jialin County and the four surrounding counties in recent years are related to Landlord Liu.

Prince Shen was the ninth and youngest son of the late emperor and had always been favored.

He is the uncle of the current emperor.

Later, the late emperor passed away, and before his death he left an edict to confer the title of king on his youngest son.

Relying on the fact that the emperor was far away, Prince Shen could call the wind and rain in Nanzhao, just like a local emperor.

As time went on, ambition was slowly fed out.

The small fiefdom could no longer satisfy Prince Shen, and in recent years he had relied on the fact that he was the emperor's uncle and refused to see the emperor when summoned.

County Magistrate Zhen was the youngest in the family. The old lady in the family had been looking for a wife for him since he was eleven or twelve years old. She wanted him to live a rich and idle life, enjoying flowers and birds every day, and having many children.

After a while, County Magistrate Zhen could no longer bear the annoyance.

He originally wanted to be a county magistrate in a remote county to live a quiet life, but he accidentally got involved in a major case.

Magistrate Zhen did not dare to delay and sent a letter directly to the Zhen Mansion in the capital by carrier pigeon.

The Dali Temple Minister immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.

In less than an hour, the commander of the Imperial Guards disguised himself and left the capital...

A few days later, several secret agents of Prince Shen around Lin'an Prefecture were uprooted, and more than ten years of hard work were wasted.

Unfortunately, it is unknown whether those who were captured in Nanzhao are dead or alive.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard escorted Landlord Liu and his family to Beijing, and before leaving, he specifically brought the emperor's oral order to County Magistrate Zhen.

County Magistrate Zhen thought it was all over, his leisurely days were over.

It's been less than a month since I came here, and I accidentally got my name in front of the emperor. From now on, I have to be timid in everything I do, which is really not a pleasant experience.

When Mr. Gu learned the whole story, he exclaimed that the Lin family was evil.

If Lin Dajiang hadn't said it casually, County Magistrate Zhen would not have paid any attention to an idle landlord.

Although Landlord Liu was the main culprit for not restraining his son, the root of the problem was ultimately because of Bingliang Dong from Lin Dajiang's family.

After all, it’s all because of the Lin family.

Since the property of landlord Liu was confiscated, the Lin family's business has been booming.

During this period, the magnolia seeds in Lin Xiaoman's space sprouted.

A total of eleven plants grew, each with four or five leaves, all green and lush, and the growth was particularly pleasing.

The magnolia fruit strips that Lin Jingzhe picked in the dark at Xinghuaao were also inserted by her into the flowerpots in the space.

Among Lin Jingzhe's rabbits, three more female rabbits are pregnant, which makes him so happy that he can't stop smiling all day long in the house. They look like they deserve a beating.

But when outside, you have to pretend to be deeply bitter and resentful in order to numb others.

The chicks that Lin Guyu fed were fed earthworms every day, and they grew exceptionally strong.

It was not until early September that Lin Xiaoman ran out of magnolia fruit and the frozen food business came to an end.

Lin Xiaoman made a rough calculation and found that he made about thirty-five taels of silver just from selling frozen food, plus more than thirty taels of silver from selling cold noodles, and ten taels of silver as compensation from Yingkelai.

The money earned from selling rabbits and smoked fish was used by Li Taohua for her family's daily expenses.

By this calculation, there were nearly eighty taels of silver in A Niang's chipped wooden box.

In Shanglin Village, that’s a huge sum of money!

Li Taohua, who had some free time, took her family to visit her grandparents' home.

Lin Xiaoman saw four uncles and grandma and grandpa, dozens of people living together, which was even more exaggerated than the old Lin family.

In the Lin family, each son has at least one room.

In the Li family, except for the old couple, the other four sons each have a room, the younger ones live with their parents, the remaining five men squeeze into one room, and the three girls squeeze into another room.

Four uncles, the first two of which were all boys, Lin Xiaoman instantly felt that this family was really poor, no wonder the four uncles went to the mountains to find wild goods to sell to make money.

She has five older cousins ​​and three younger cousins.

I have only one older cousin and two younger cousins.

In modern times, eight houses would be needed for eight males.

No wonder my grandpa and several uncles work as hard as oxen every day.

"Taohua, last time you said that black ears can be eaten after being dried. Look, we have dried so many at home." Zhang said with a smile, holding Taohua's hand.

She and her husband secretly ate it once and found that nothing was wrong with it, so she allowed the younger generations to eat it too.

"Now we are hoping for more rain so that more crops can grow."

Li Shitou is a person who can't sit still. "Jingzhe, Xiaoman, you haven't been to the top of the mountain here, right? The ends of Qingfeng Mountain and the mountains in the Shanglin Village area are not connected. Come on, I'll take you to the mountain for a walk."

Then he called a few nephews and nieces to go up the mountain together.

My uncle Li Shan has two sons and one daughter, the eldest is Li Zian, the second is Li Zimao, and the third is Li Xiaohe.

Li Zi'an is twenty years old this year, and is as loyal and steady as his uncle Li Shan.

My second uncle Li Qiao also has two sons and one daughter, the eldest is Li Zifeng, the second is Li Zicheng, and the third is Li Xiaomei.

My third uncle Li Shi also has two sons and one daughter, just as if they had been planned. The eldest is Li Ziyin, the second is Li Zishun, and the third is Li Xiaolian.

Li Xiaolian and Lin Guyu are about the same age and are already playing in the yard.

My uncle Li Zhu has two sons, the eldest is Li Zisheng and the second is Li Zining.

It took Lin Xiaoman a long time to remember the names of his eight cousins.

At this time, Li Shi led the four nephews of Li Shan and Li Qiao, and took his eldest son Li Ziyin, Lin Jingzhe and Lin Xiaoman out in a grand manner.

Meeting Li Zhong and Lin Dajiang at the door, Li Shi grabbed Lin Dajiang and his father and said, "Dad, brother-in-law, let's go up the mountain."

Li Zhong said unhappily, "Your sister and her friends finally came here, and you just took them to the mountains to play?"

"Dad, I heard last time that Xiaoman was lucky. Xiaoman has never been to Qingfeng Mountain before. Maybe we can catch a live rabbit here." Li Shi helped his brother-in-law build a rabbit nest last time and has been jealous of his brother-in-law's rabbits for a long time.

It doesn't make sense that you can catch rabbits in the mountain behind Shanglin Village. Qingfeng Mountain is much bigger than the mountain behind Shanglin Village, so you can't catch rabbits there.

Li Zhong was also somewhat moved after hearing what Li Shi said.

When Xiaoman was a child, the older generation in Shanglin Village all said that she was blessed.

It must be that God made a mistake in the middle, and it will be straightened out when it grows up to twelve years old.

Those idiots in the village have been idiots all their lives. Is there any one of them who can be blessed by God and have good luck in the end like Xiaoman?

Li Zhong and Zhang shouted, and Zhang smiled and said to Li Taohua: "Your father is so old and still hangs out with young people. He is really getting younger and younger."

"Mom, Dad is so good now. He is in good health and can go wherever he wants."

"Yes, your four brothers follow you to sell frozen food, and we earn dozens of copper coins every day." Zhang held Li Taohua's hand tightly, "Thanks to you and Dajiang, I have saved more than one or two taels of silver just by selling frozen food in the past month."

"Mom, life will get better and better. I plan to go to the county to sell it next year. I will have to trouble my brothers then."

Zhang knew that her daughter's family was taking care of them in disguise, so she hired people to sell frozen foods, and there were many people who wanted to do this job.

Carrying a shoulder pole and walking through the streets is nothing for them who are used to doing farm work.
