drove away Zhang Youfu, and Lin Taohua sent the book of separation to Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui pinched the book and left the book with tears in her eyes, and Lin Taohua who looked at it was both pity and emotion.

"Sister Hui, everything is over, and it will be fine in the future."

Zhou Hui nodded with teary eyes, and she couldn't cry anymore.

After Zhou Hui's mood eased a bit, a few juniors went to the hall with Ai Ai, after all, if they wanted to leave Zhou Hui, they still had to be approved by Zhou Wang's family.

Zhou Wangshi looked at Lin Taohua, who was coquettish beside him, and then looked at the second son who was silent but stubborn, and sighed in his heart, he only said evil, but he didn't drive Zhou Hui away, as for what Zhou Hui's mother's family thinks, it is not up to her.

In the past, the Zhou family also had two meals in the morning and evening, but later Lin Taohua crossed over and was used to three meals a day, and the Zhou family changed it to three meals a day for her life. I made money yesterday, I added a lot of food to my family, and the three meals a day were a lot more abundant, and when Zhou Hui was called for lunch, she looked at a loss, thinking that it was because of the special meal made by the two of them, and she trembled and repeatedly excused herself.

Lin Taohua thought about the hard life in the countryside, every family has two meals, there is really no luxury like theirs, no wonder Zhou Hui is so panicked, so she smiled and said: "Sister Hui doesn't have to think about it, it's me who is too squeamish, if I don't eat at noon, I don't have the strength for a day, my mother pities my family for only three meals, not deliberately add meals, and the family is now also responsible, Sister Hui is used to it." ”

That being said, Zhou Hui's identity was embarrassing, and she really didn't dare to sit down and eat.

Lin Taohua couldn't, and poked Zhou Ming under the table with her little hand.

Zhou Ming understood, directly took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Zhou Hui, and said gently: "When I was a child, Sister Hui took care of Ming a lot, but now life is inconvenient, Ming should take care of it, Fei'er is growing up, and it is not good to be hungry often, Sister Hui should not refuse." ”

Zhou Hui glanced down at Fei'er, and then glanced at the calm Zhou Yuan and his wife, and it was only then that Ai Ai sat down to eat.

After eating, Zhou Ming hurriedly returned to the room, and after a while, he told Lin Taohua to go out and do something.

Lin Taohua asked strangely, "What do you have to do?" ”

Zhou Ming scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Although Sister Hui and Zhang Youfu are reconciled, there are still people in her mother's family, and it makes no sense for our family to keep her for no reason, I have to go to Zhou Baogen's house to ask for the one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”

Lin Taohua understood in seconds, this was a preemptive strike, with a debt of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, it was expected that Zhou Baogen, who was gambling indiscriminately, would not dare to come to their house to ask for someone.

"It's still thoughtful." Lin Taohua hugged Zhou Ming's arm and smiled.

Her smile was bright, which made Zhou Ming throb for a while, and finally couldn't help but hold her waist, and whispered softly: "Wait for me at home, teach you to read in the afternoon." ”

The fresh fragrance of honey locust with Zhou Ming's warm manly breath instantly surrounded Lin Taohua, her face was slightly red, and she hugged Zhou Ming back with a hot heart, and answered softly.

Zhou Wang's quietly hid back after seeing it at the door of the hall, and was very satisfied with their greasy appearance, and his dirty mood instantly improved.

After Zhou Ming left, Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu also packed up and prepared to go up the mountain. Lin Taohua pulled Zhou Hui to clean up the mountain fungus fungus picked in the morning.

When the family was busy, a carriage came at the door, and a man came out of the car and asked loudly, "May I ask if this is the mansion of Zhou Minggongzi?" ”

Hearing the sound, Lin Taohua poked her head out of the kitchen, saw the people in the carriage at a glance, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the Yue Pavilion Master?" How did you find this? ”

Yue Yang saw Lin Taohua, jumped down from the carriage, and was about to answer, when a noisy voice suddenly came from behind him. Yue Yang turned his head and saw that a group of people came from the corner of the peach forest, except for the two women, the rest were all officers and soldiers, and there was an official sedan chair at the front, thinking that officials were coming.

"Little lady, it looks like you're in trouble." Yue Yang said to Lin Taohua, who walked out of the courtyard gate.

Lin Taohua frowned, it was impossible for her to get into a lawsuit not long after she first came here, wouldn't these people be Kong Jingzhi who had a big dislike for the original peach blossom? Lin Taohua's first reaction was that Kong Jingzhi came to trouble the Zhou family again because of the peach tree.

At this time, the movement outside had already alarmed the people of the Zhou family, and Zhou Wang and Zhou Hui both ran out in a hurry, looking at the officers and soldiers surrounding the house with a frightened face.

Yue Yang saw that all the women who came out of the Zhou family were women, and he thought that the men were not at home, and he was very helpless, but he didn't expect to get involved in the dispute between the government and the government.

"My lord, it's here, this is the broom Xingzhou's daughter-in-law Peach Blossom." Zhou Yang, who led the way for the officers and soldiers, pointed at Lin Taohua with a smug face and said.

When Yue Yang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and continued: "Hehe, this woman, I heard that it was this girl who helped you control the locusts, why did you call her a broom star?" ”

There are people from the government behind Zhou Yang's family, and they actually took advantage of the situation, glared at them and said: "It's this mourning star who said that locusts were coming, but it really came in half a day, isn't it she who recruited them." Where is this little goblin to cure locusts, it is clear that she got it herself, and she has a way to get it away. ”

"Presumptuous. How can you be allowed to talk nonsense in front of this official? At this time, a person walked out of the official sedan chair and said coldly and majestically.

"My lord, what the woman said is true, this week's peach blossom is a vixen who is a scourge." Zhou Yang shouted unrepentantly.

"Dare to distract the people! dared to disturb the people's hearts with his strange power, and dragged down his slap for twenty. Kong Jingzhi didn't know what he meant, but he sent Zhou Yang's family.

Zhou Yang never expected that he would be beaten by the county commander after leading the way, shouting and shouting that he was wronged, and his mouth was full of blood when he was slapped by Bingyong, this slap was much more fierce than Zhou Laogen's. Zhou Mashi originally followed, but he was smart and didn't talk much, but at this time, he saw his mother-in-law being slapped by the officers and soldiers with a mouth full of blood, and he fell to the ground in fright.

The men in the family were not at home, Lin Taohua glanced at Zhou Yang, who was screaming miserably, comforted Zhou Wang and Zhou Hui, and took a step forward to be very calm and blessed.

"I've seen adults, but I don't know what happened to them?"

Kong Jingzhi looked at the little woman in front of him, and sneered in his heart, after many years, this little lady has not fallen into his hands. Back then, he cut down the peach tree on Qiongya Mountain, and although the peach tree died, he knew that the original spirit of the peach tree was still alive, and it was the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family who was saved by the Puji monk. After the Yuan Ling was rescued by the Puji monk, Kong Jingzhi also had the idea of arresting people in private, and later saw that the Yuan Ling was in a state of confusion and dementia all day long, so he dispelled the idea. A while ago, Qiongya County suddenly began to talk about the locust extermination hero Peach Blossom in Zhoujia Village, and Kong Jingzhi couldn't sit still. He suspected that the peach tree spirit had regained his senses, so he spent a few days investigating and confirming the news before he hurriedly killed.

Lin Taohua only felt that Kong Jingzhi's eyes were dark and dirty, and he was not a good person at first glance, and his pretty face became cold from time to time.

"Why is it so important that you have to bother the county magistrate to come over in person?" Yue Yang suddenly blocked in front of Lin Taohua and asked with a light smile.

Kong Jingzhi knows Yue Yang, and he also knows that he has a complicated background, and what he hates the most is that this guy is actually familiar with the son of the prefect of Yuzhou, Xiahou Yue, the new star in the imperial army. Kong Jingzhi is an official of the imperial court, and he is not afraid of Yueyang, a flat-headed commoner, but he is not willing to offend him if there is no need. So, Kong Jingzhi answered Yue Yang's question very casually.

"For so many years, every household in Qiongya County has not closed their doors at night, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, which is the model county seat of our Yuzhou. I don't want any thief to be bold and reckless and dare to poison his life in the jurisdiction of his own official, so the official naturally wants to personally investigate and deal with it and give an explanation to the people of this county. ”

Yue Yang smiled lightly: "Why did Master Kong come here to investigate the case in Qiongya County?" ”

Kong Jingzhi said with a smile: "The murderer is here, so the official naturally wants to come here." This matter has nothing to do with the Yue Pavilion Master, so it is better for Your Excellency not to take care of it. ”

Yue Yang's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Dare to ask my lord, who is the murderer?" ”

Kong Kaen's way: "Zhou Lin's daughter-in-law of the Zhou family." ”

Lin Taohua bypassed Yue Yang and said: "My lord said carefully, the people have not gone to the county seat once, and they have not clashed with others, who will the good ones harm?" ”

Kong Jingzhi sneered: "This official asked you, did you sell a bucket of snow ear soup to the senior staff of the Gao family manor yesterday?" ”

Lin Taohua frowned: "Yes." ”

Kong Jingzhi said: "That's it, the high-ranking official ate your soup outside, and he was unconscious and dying, so you should honestly go back to the yamen to make it clear to the official." ”

Lin Taohua was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Nonsense, my soup is not poisonous at all!" ”

Kong Jingzhi snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Take it away." ”

When Zhou Wang's family saw that he was going to arrest Lin Taohua, he rushed over and shouted: "My Taohua is not a murderer, you can't arrest people casually." ”

How could the official listen to her, and pushed Zhou Wang's head with a pull and a push.

"Mother!" Lin Taohua was anxious to help, but was grabbed by the officials.

"Go first, I'm here." Yue Yang leaned in front of Lin Taohua and whispered.

Lin Taohua calmed down, glanced at Yue Yang, nodded under his frank gaze, and was escorted away by the officials the next moment.
