615 Efforts to quibble
Lin Yuzhu hasn't come to Kuangshan Village for a long time.
In her impression, Kuoshan Village is a remote small village. Because the village is too poor, the strong laborers are unwilling to stay in the village. Many people have moved their families, and gradually there are only a few people left in the village.
She bought the land in Kuoshan Village back then because the land here is cheap.
Unlike what she expected, the village road was not much bumpy, and it felt comfortable to sit in the carriage than before.
She lifted the curtain with some confusion and looked out, but saw that the village road near the mountain village was actually covered with bluestone slabs.
This is the standard configuration for many official roads outside the city of big cities, and bluestone slabs are also laid in this remote village!
Qingyun, who was driving the carriage, smiled and said, "The road along the way is easy to walk. I didn't expect that the place is covered with bluestone slabs. Are the villagers here very wealthy?"
He followed Nangong Yunqi and had seen many worlds.
But the environment here today also shocked him.
Lin Yuzhu smiled faintly, remembering the situation in the village before and said, "It should be that the villagers made money, maybe it was from Chu Jinlinpu."
Bypassing a big bend, you will see the Kuishan Village.
I saw the changes in the village from afar. As soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Yuzhu quickly got off the carriage and looked at the village not far away in surprise.
I saw that the village built by the mountain was built before, with dilapidated mud-walled thatched huts, but now it has become spacious and bright blue brick houses, and the most important thing is that the village is very lively.
She saw many people working in the fields and children playing at the village.
"The villagers really make money." She said with a smile.
Nangong Yunqi stepped forward to support Lin Yuzhu and complained: "You are pregnant, why did you get off the carriage first? You are not allowed to do this in the future. I have to support you to get off the carriage or not."
Just now, Lin Yuzhu got off the carriage without paying attention, and he was very worried after following him.
Lin Yuzhu looked at Nangong Yunqi and smiled sweetly, "I was wrong, I will ask you to help you get off the carriage in the future."
Only then did Nangong Yunqi smile on his face.
Qingyun handed the carriage to the guards who followed him and finally entered the village together.
As soon as Lin Yuzhu appeared, a child surrounded her.
The children were yelling to ask Lin Yuzhu who she was looking for.
Lin Yuzhu asked Qingyun to hand over the candy he prepared in advance to the children, and then said, "Where is Chu Jinlin?"
When the children heard this, they all shouted that they were rushing to take Lin Yuzhu over.
Following the children, I soon arrived in front of a small courtyard.
The yard is just a newly built one, and you can tell that the yard is not very big when you look at the yard wall.
The child in charge knocked on the door and turned around and said, "This is the yard where Mr. Chu lives."
Lin Yuzhu thanked the children.
The children then scattered and continued to play.
When the gate of the yard opened, Lin Yuzhu saw that there were many people sitting in the yard, and she also saw several acquaintances.
There was also a middle-aged man tied up on the ground.
There were several other people standing next to the middle-aged man, and he saw that he should be a villager in his clothes.
Li Yuanqing was very enthusiastic. When he saw Lin Yuzhu, he quickly invited Lin Yuzhu and Nangong Yunqi to attend the seat.
The villagers also greeted Lin Yuzhu.
As for Nangong Yunqi's identity, Chu Jinlin did not explain much. He knew that Nangong Yunqi was not a person who liked to pretend to be stupid.
The two of them are located under the eaves, and there are chairs prepared in advance.
Lin Yuzhu sat down with Nangong Yunqi without being polite, and then looked at the kneeling middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was tied up with a hemp rope, and he looked very smart.
Lin Yuzhu said directly: "You are the Virtuous Concubine."
The middle-aged man raised his head, but directly denied: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Lin Yuzhu curled up the corners of her lips and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to understand what I'm going to say next."
After saying that, he looked at the people standing next to the middle-aged man and said, "I heard that you like to steal my things and sell them?"
Her voice was very cold.
A few people look at me, I look at you, you push me, I push you, obviously no one wants to speak first.
Lin Yuzhu was not in a hurry and continued, "I heard from Chu Jinlin about you. You are amazing! You have made a lot of money by stealing herbs and selling them."
An old man in a long blue cloth suit was pushed out.
The old man dared not look directly at Lin Yuzhu's gaze, so he could only lower his head and said guiltily: "Doctor Lin, we..."
"Call me the Eighth Princess." Lin Yuzhu said coldly.
The old man's hands trembled and knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, and begged for mercy quickly, saying, "We know that the Eighth Princess is wrong. We are just obsessed with money. Life at home is not easy to live and have no choice but to be forced..."
Lin Yuzhu asked coldly: "Life is not easy? Chu Jinlin, tell me, what is his identity? Who is he from? What is the situation at home!"
They talked about this topic last night, so she asked Chu Jinlin to investigate the other party's background when she arrested people.
To avoid these people from quibbling.
She really guessed this correctly. Those who dared to have the courage to come out and steal things have high psychological quality.
Chu Jinlin said: "This person's name is Old Man Zhou. He is a villager from Qingshan Village next door. He has nine people in his family. Because his family has a lot of land and forest land, they have earned more than twenty taels of silver for rent this year and last year alone."
When Lin Yuzhu heard this, she shouted: "Is this what you said is that life is not easy at home?"
Old Man Zhou didn't expect Chu Jinlin to investigate his family matters so clearly, and shouted in his heart that terrible!
Knowing that this is impossible to be good, he quickly begs for mercy and said, "Eighth Princess, please spare your life! Xiaomin, Xiaomin was bewitched by Boss Cai to do these things."
He directly pushed all his faults to the middle-aged man who was kneeling.
Boss Cai was angry and looked at Old Man Zhou coldly and said, "Boss Zhou can eat random food, but you can't talk nonsense! When did I bewitch you? Didn't you ask your son Zhou Dahe to find me personally and ask me if I could collect herbs? Why did I bewitch you?"
He doesn't want to take the blame for Old Man Zhou.
He admitted that it was what he did, but it was all in Lin Yuzhu's hands anyway.
I believe that the eldest prince and the virtuous concubine will not ignore him, so he is confident.
Old Man Zhou suddenly started to wail: "Why is my life so miserable? These rich people only know how to bully us poor."
For some reason, Lin Yuzhu hated the most when she heard this mournful wail. She grabbed a cup beside her and deliberately threw it in front of Old Man Zhou.
With a "bang", many people in the yard shivered.
Nangong Yunqi looked at Boss Cai and others with colder eyes. He actually dared to make his wife angry! He was simply seeking death!
He said with a cold face: "You'd better tell the truth. If you tell a lie and are investigated by me, you will die ugly."
The people in the courtyard were in an uproar, not because of what Nangong Yunqi said.
Instead, Nangong Yunqi called himself the king.
