Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

After seeing Madam Miao off, Xiao Yunxi asked two yamen runners to measure the land.

The yamen runners didn't expect that Xiao Yunxi knew Wang Yuanwai's wife and seemed to have a very close relationship with her. They gave up the idea of ​​extorting money and didn't accidentally offend anyone. This was their way of survival.

The homestead is the same size as the current house, 70 feet wide and more than 80 feet deep. One mu of land sounds like a large area, and it is actually very large. With proper design, it can become a mansion.

Measure out another 5 mu of wasteland next to the homestead, and the work will be completed.

The yamen runner filled in the length, width, and area on the land deed, as well as the corresponding location on the map, and then sent it to the yamen for filing and registration. Only then was the land officially considered to belong to Xiao Yunxi.

40 taels for the residential land and 20 taels for the wasteland, which was almost like picking it up for free. He gave the silver to the village chief, and he went with him to get the land deed, but Xiao Yunxi did not go with him.

She also took out two strings of copper coins and stuffed them into the two yamen runners.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir. This is some wedding money for you two to have tea with."

As the saying goes, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little devils. They may not be able to do things, but they can do bad things. 200 coins cannot buy you any loss or fraud!

Although the title deed has not been obtained yet, the land is basically settled. Uncle Tang did not delay and went out to gather people and prepare to start construction.

Starting construction earlier allows you to live in the new house before the rain and snow come.

All the fruits in the space have been sold, and the construction of the house is about to begin. It can be said to be a double happiness. We must celebrate and make some tofu!

The beans have been soaked and I need to start grinding them, but before I even start, trouble comes knocking.

"Who is Xiao Yunxi? Come with us!"

The people who were speaking were dressed strangely, different from what ordinary people wore. Their clothes looked a bit like those of yamen runners, but a little different. They looked arrogant and domineering, and it was difficult to figure out their identities for a moment.

"I'm Xiao Yunxi. May I ask who you are?"

"We are the town's yamen runners. Old Lady Lu's house was burglarized in your village, and we suspect you are involved. Come back with us now. The village head wants to question you."

Xiao Yunxi understood instantly that it must be Ma Cuilan who was causing trouble, and these people probably had ill intentions.

Dabao looked solemn, he had smelled the scent of conspiracy.

Although Xiaobao is a straight man, he can distinguish between good and bad. The bearded man in the front who looks ferocious and fierce is definitely not a good person.

Niu Niu was confused and huddled in Xiao Yunxi's arms with a frightened expression, but she still stared with her big eyes, looking at the bearded man curiously.

This person is so ugly.

next door,

Mrs. Zhou was just being carried out to bask in the sun. When she noticed what was happening here, she asked the servant to carry her over to watch the fun and to help at the critical moment.

Xiao Yunxi is a rare female doctor who is worthy of her friendship. Dealing with these little devils is just a piece of cake.

She was also very curious about how Xiao Yunxi would respond.

"Sir, I'd like to ask, is there evidence linking me to the theft? Why are you taking me back?"

The bearded man was surprised.

The common people were afraid of the officials and were unwilling to deal with them, but Xiao Yunxi was calm and composed, which was beyond his expectations.

"Someone pointed out that you were around Old Lady Lu's house last night. You are now a suspect in the burglary."

Xiao Yunxi was not panicked at all:

"May I ask who identified me? You can't just tell me I'm a thief and then I'm the thief, right? If it's proven that I'm not, how will we deal with the person who gave false testimony?"

The bearded man didn't expect Xiao Yunxi to be so difficult to deal with.

He was acting according to the meaning of the word "gong" in the village head's family. No one pointed out Xiao Yunxi at all. It was all his nonsense. There was no way to answer.

If reason doesn't make sense, then just use your power and status to bully others.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just leave when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"You don't look like a police officer, do you?"

"How dare you! I'm working for the village head. If you continue to resist, don't blame me for using violence!"

The officer placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to draw his sword at any time. Aunt Li and the others, as well as Hu Zi, blocked Xiao Yunxi's way.

The common people are inherently weak in front of the officials. Aunt Li and the others were afraid, so they didn't dare to speak. But when they saw that the officials were about to take action, they could no longer stand idly by.

"Sir, why don't we wait until the village chief comes back?"

"Have some tea first and sit down to rest for a while."

"Yes, sir, the village chief is going to town and will be back soon."

The village chief and Uncle Tang, both experienced people, were not at home. They were panicked and didn't know what to do. They thought of delaying the decision and waiting for the village chief to come back.

In short, Xiao Yunxi must not be taken away.

The village officials are notoriously bad. They will accuse you of a crime even if you are innocent. They are not stupid. This is most likely caused by Ma Cuilan.

He was probably jealous of Xiao Yunxi's plan to build a house and wanted to embezzle Xiao Yunxi's property.

And the son of the village head is a pervert.

It is said that many female prisoners were bullied by him. A girl from the next village committed suicide by jumping into the river because she was bullied by him.

Xiao Yunxi is pretty, and if she were bullied by that beast, her life would be ruined. Even if she wasn't bullied, rumors could kill people.

The bearded man held the knife tightly in his hand and roared,

"Get out of here, or you'll be obstructing public service and I'll arrest you all!"

Qi Ye had been a fireman before, and had seen blood. He questioned the bearded man:

"The whole village knows that Old Lady Lu's house was robbed. Tables, chairs, benches, and more than 10 bags of grain are all gone. Do you think a woman could have done that?"

Uncle Tang Er and Uncle Tang Si were terrified and gritted their teeth in support:

"It's not easy for even grown men to move away. There are no men in Lao Liu's family, just her and the child. How could she possibly do it?"

"At least call out the person who reported it and confront him face to face. Otherwise, you can't just arrest people arbitrarily, right?"

The bearded man could no longer bear it and drew the knife from his waist.

"Are you going to rebel?"

When the accusation of rebellion was put on them, everyone's faces turned pale with fear. It was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.

Hu Zi is like a newborn calf, not afraid of the tiger, he holds his neck high without any fear.

"Dog officer!"

"You just like to bully the good people. If anyone wants to take Sister Yunxi away today, I'll see if I agree!"

Even a rabbit will bite when it is anxious, let alone a human.

He had always hated officials, and now he was completely enraged. He held the tile knife tightly in his hand, ready to fight to the death at any time.

Xiao Yunxi not only saved his mother, but was also a ray of light in the darkness, shining into his heart.

The bearded man is in a dilemma.

He promised the son of the headman to bring the person back, and if he failed to do so, he would be in big trouble.

If you force yourself to take action, something might go wrong.

His mind raced. The village chief was not here. If he made a quick decision and didn't give the people of Tangjia Village a chance to gather, he would be able to take them away. Even if they continued to make trouble, the matter would be settled.

"Get it for me."

He stepped forward with a drawn knife, and his two subordinates also drew their swords. A battle was about to break out. Xiao Yunxi had already taken out a steel pipe from the space and hid it in his sleeve, ready to knock out the bearded man first.

"stop!"

Zhou Shiya made a brilliant appearance,

The bearded man saw that she was dressed in brocade and silk, with luxurious pearl hairpins on her head, and was accompanied by maids and servants, so he thought she must be a person of status.

"Why is this lady preventing us from carrying out our official duties?"

Zhou Shiya had no expression on her face:

"According to Daxia law, arresting a suspect requires an official document. Do you have one?"

If I had official documents, I wouldn’t be so troubled!

"Judicial power belongs to the county. The village head doesn't have the power to arrest people directly. Who gives you the courage to arrest people at will?"

"us……"

"Daxia Law requires the whistleblower to sign and seal the case. Do you have it?"

"I……"

I hit a wall.

"We're leaving now."

The bearded man ran away in dismay.
