The county master glanced at Cui Shao again, shook off the IOU, glanced at it casually, folded it and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Miss Lin, why did you sign a fake name on this contract?" ”

"The little woman is alone, afraid of revenge, and has been using this pseudonym since she came out of the village." Lin Jinxiu took out the two bags of silver on her body, "Although she uses a fake name, the little woman has no intention of not repaying her debts, and she has saved more than ninety-four taels of one hundred taels of silver, and she can return all the last few taels of silver this afternoon." ”

Seeing Lin Jinxiu's two bags of silver heavy, and the appearance of the surrounding families on the four walls, the county master knew that this girl was telling the truth.

He nodded and looked at Cui Shao again: "Then Cui Li, since this girl can repay the money, why do you still force her to pay back the money in the morning?" ”

Of course, Cui Shao couldn't say that he was specifically here to rob people, so he couldn't speak, so he could only raise his head and keep glancing at the county master.

Seeing that the county master ignored him, Cui Li opened his mouth and said: "She can return a fart, the baked cake shop where she lives has been burned!" I don't believe she'll be able to pay back the few taels of silver left! ”

"How do you know I'm not coming up yet?" Of course, Lin Jinxiu choked him, "You just concluded that my baked cake shop was burned down and I definitely couldn't pay back?" My lord, this Cui Shao's family came to provoke after putting out the fire, and he came from a long way away with unburned pieces of paper, and the little woman not only paid back the money, but also had the right to suspect that Cui Shao came to set the fire in order not to let us pay back the money! ”

"Lin Jinxiu! Don't slander me! Cui Shao pointed at Lin Jinxiu and scolded, "Why do you say that I set the fire!" ”

"I'm just suspicious, I didn't say it had to be you." Lin Jinxiu turned her head away from him.

"My lord, this Lin Jinxiu definitely said this because he wanted to repay the debt! Adults are aware of it! Cui Shao said to the county master.

"I think I'll save more than ninety taels of silver if I repay the debt?" Lin Jinxiu was angry, "But your Cui Mansion is so far away from my store, and there are people who have just come to see it as soon as the fire is extinguished?" ”

"! The next person came to see it near this bazaar, and Ben Shao only found out after he came back! ”

"How dare your people spread your intentions without your consent?" Lin Jinxiu turned around and pointed at the family members who followed him, "Do you dare!" ”

Those family members looked at each other, they really didn't dare.

Lin Jinxiu stared at Cui Shao: "So Cui Shao, I want to ask you what you sent this person to do?" ”

"Look at how you've saved your money, nothing else!" Cui Shao's words were almost shouted, and he had no patience to continue arguing with Lin Jinxiu.

"Didn't you just say you didn't know?" Lin Jinxiu was originally reasonable, and immediately choked back after hearing the flaws in Cui Shao's words, "Why do you want to come to see us in the middle of the night to save money!" ”

"If you don't watch it in the middle of the night, can you still watch it during the day?" Cui Shao's face trembled, and his voice raised an octave, "There are so many people during the day!" There is a chance to burn ......."

Halfway through the words, Cui Shao's words were broken, and seeing that he was leaking his mouth, he could only shrink back, gritting his teeth and not saying anything more.

"It's really you." Lin Jinxiu paused for a few seconds, his face was full of disbelief, and he faced the county master, "My lord is clear." ”

The county magistrate stroked the mustache on his chin and nodded: "It seems that the truth has come out." This official has always been fair and honest in his work, and he will give you justice. ”

"Cui Li, you beat the old woman on the street, robbed the people's daughter, burned down the shop, and tried to kill the young in vain. Tong, what is the crime? The county magistrate looked at Cui Li with a cold face.

"Big, sir......"

Cui Shao wanted to say something, but the county master didn't give him a chance: "If you have a meritorious service in helping the official govern the county, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" A hundred canes are punished, and they are executed on the spot! ”

"My lord! Spare your life! Cui Shao saw that he was coming towards him, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "My lord!" Your Excellency is ......."

"Dare to disobey? Twenty in the palm of your mouth! The county magistrate interrupted Cui Shao's words loudly, and his subordinates quickly said that they would slap their mouths, and there was a shocking sound.

Lin Jinxiu looked indifferently at Cui Shao's palm. He deserves it.

Although she is a good person, she is not a fool.

"As for Lin Jinxiu......" Lin Jinxiu saw that the county master's words turned to her, and bowed her head and saluted.

"If you beat someone, you should be punished with twenty rods." The county magistrate looked at Lin Jinxiu, "But the reason is that your body is weak, and the reason is that you are anxious to protect your son, so you won't execute it on the spot, and if you do it again next time, you will deal with it together." ”

"Master Xie." Lin Jinxiu knelt down and faced the county magistrate with his forehead on the ground.

Cui Shao was slapped on the side and his nose bleeded, and his already fat cheeks were red and swollen, looking really like a pig's head.

"Your Excellency!" He vaguely pointed at the county master and shouted, "You took my Cui family's money and beat me!" Be careful I tell my father ......"

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate's thick eyebrows were raised, and he actually stepped forward in person and slapped him again: "Okay, you Cui family child, the slander has been slandered to the head of this official!" Call me! ”

The ring stick in the hand of the catcher came down with the sound of the wind, followed by Cui Shao's screams, one after another.

Lin Jinxiu stood aside and hugged the child tightly and didn't look at him.

"Lele, look at your mother." Lin Jinxiu looked at the child distressedly. Just now, she and Cui Shao quarreled happily, and the child in her arms didn't know whether he was scared stupid or broken, and even the crying voice was very small.

Lin Jinxiu coaxed Lele softly, and her eyes were moist. The moment Lele was suspended in the air, her heart seemed to stop beating, and now the child is still crying in her arms, as long as she can make a sound, it is good if she can make a sound......

On that side, the hundred canes were finally beaten, and the two catchers dragged Cui Shao, who was paralyzed on the ground with tears and snot, but he didn't drag it all of a sudden, and only after adding two more people did he barely lift it up and walked outside.

Lin Jinxiu thanked the county master again, but the county master just waved his hand and walked out of the door.

Lin Jinxiu noticed that a jade-faced scholar appeared behind the county master.

The scholar was dressed in a dumb green brocade robe, with willow eyebrows and peach eyes, and his appearance was very feminine.

But between the inches where he raised his eyes, there was another compelling majesty.

The county magistrate walked out of the door, nodded to the scholar and said something, and waited for the scholar to nod before asking someone to leave.

When the county magistrate dealt with Cui Shao, Lin Jinxiu noticed that the county magistrate would always look behind him from time to time, showing jealousy.

Could it be that he is looking at this jade-faced scholar? Who is this man?

Lin Jinxiu looked at him curiously.

Perhaps feeling Lin Jinxiu's gaze, the scholar's eyes glanced over, and his eyes were full of interest when he looked at Lin Jinxiu.

He glanced at her waist, opened the fan in his hand, left a meaningful smile, and turned to walk away.

What does that mean? Lin Jinxiu does not know.

"So this money, do you need to pay it back?" She looked at the money bag in her hand and muttered.

"Sister Lin!" Ning Er and Aunt Li just kowtowed to the county master at the door, and they didn't dare to come out, and only after the county master left did they gather around Lin Jinxiu.

"So ......" Ning'er also found out that Lin Jinxiu didn't give the money to Cui Shao, and asked.

Lin Jinxiu put the money away again: "Wait for the news." ”

Who knew that I had been waiting for three days for this news.

During this period, Lin Jinxiu and the others had already completely saved up the remaining six taels of silver with corn juice, and they didn't dare to spend it in their hands, for fear that one day Cui Shao would come to the door to ask for debts.

It wasn't until Lin Jinxiu passed by the yamen with an empty corn juice bucket and watched the lively Aunt Liu pull her into the crowd with difficulty that she saw that the announcement outside the county government was the content of the investigation of Cui's casino.

There are many arrears in Cui Shao's casino, and it is the people in the casino who forcibly enforce the arrears in the form of thousands of dollars, so the casino is blocked, and all the IOUs are written off.

A write-off!

Lin Jinxiu's eyes widened, and a few short bodies got out of the crowd, and after getting out, he didn't care about squeezing his hair in the crowd, spread his legs and ran to the store.

……

"Don't have to pay it back?" Ning Er stood up suddenly, "The announcement said that you don't have to pay back?" ”

Lin Jinxiu looked at Ning Er's sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile.

"Really?" Ning'er couldn't believe it.

"Really." Lin Jinxiu smiled and nodded.

"We really don't have to pay it back!" Ning Er's smile gradually appeared on her face like a bud opening, "Grandma! We don't have to pay it back! ”

Ning'er is really happy that she and Lin Jinxiu no longer have to go to Cui's Mansion to be slaves, she is glad that she has regained her freedom, and she is also glad that she did not drag Lin Jinxiu down and let her suffer with her.

"Grandma! I don't have to go to Cui's Mansion anymore! Sister Lin doesn't have to go to Cui's Mansion anymore! Ning'er happily hugged Lele back and forth, and Aunt Li hurriedly chased after her and said don't cry child.

Ning Er's smile was dyed with tears, this time it was not temporary, but a real expression for the rest of her life.

"Sister Lin!" Of course, she didn't forget her dearest Sister Lin, and after jumping on the spot a few times, she rushed straight towards Lin Jinxiu, "Thank you, Sister Lin!" ”

Sister Lin, not only has she been suffering with them for so long, but she has also saved her and her grandmother again.

Lin Jinxiu stretched out her hand to hug this girl, and her heart was mixed. In just a few days, it seems like a lifetime.

"The money." Lin Jinxiu took out the small purse containing more than a hundred taels of silver and put it in his hand, "This money is used to renovate the store, and it must be enough to reopen again, and there is still a lot left." ”

Lin Jinxiu knew that she couldn't be immersed in joy all the time, she needed to look forward, and the large amount of silver saved without having to pay back would become the capital for them to start over.

Yesterday, I was still thinking about what to do if I repaid the silver and became destitute again, but now it's okay, I directly let them have more than ninety taels of silver.

That's more than ninety taels! It's money that Aunt Li and Ning Er can't earn in their lives.

Ning Er's eyes were watery, and when she heard Lin Jinxiu say this, her eyes widened and asked, "Reopen the store?" Sister, aren't you leaving? ”

She originally thought that Lin Jinxiu was going to leave after helping them solve this matter, as she said a few days ago, to join her benefactor's relatives. As a result, I didn't have time to keep and miss Sister Lin, but I didn't expect that Sister Lin didn't think about leaving at all?

"Huh?" Ning Er's words stunned Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu really didn't think about the question of leaving, and Ning Er's question made her realize this problem.

Did you think of this place as your home?

In fact, if you think about it, if this is really your home, it seems to be good to have a kind grandmother like Aunt Li and a sister like Ning'er who is eccentric and still depends on her.

"Hmm. Don't go. Lin Jinxiu only thought about it for a while and made her own decision.
