"Have you seen anyone come to the Lin family's house today?"

At this time, the people in the village also figured out that it was not Lin Ruan and Lin Han who got into a lawsuit, it was Lin Ruan's family who lost something, and she went to the county to sue the official.

The people in the village looked at each other.

Their Linjia Village has been open for nearly 100 years, and this is the first time someone has sued the official.

And the person who Lin Ruan sued is still her elder.

Yes, the movement of Lao Wang's party this morning was not small, and many people in the village saw it. At that time, they also felt that Lao Wang's had gone too far, and this moved away all other people's things, didn't it force people to die?

They were still waiting for Lin Ruan to go to the patriarch Li Zheng for help, so that they could see the excitement, but they didn't expect this Lin Ruan to go to the county government quietly.

Now the Lin family's affairs will be a big problem.

"Have any of you seen any suspicious people around this morning?"

The official asked again.

The villagers, you look at me, I look at you, they don't speak.

The officials are very experienced in handling cases, and the eyes of these villagers are clear, they know who did it, but it is difficult to say.

After all, most of the people in Linjia Village are surnamed Lin, and the big family is like this, they are all in the same spirit, and they all cover each other for anything.

Although what the old Wang family did was not authentic, in the concept of the villagers, it was the Lin family, even if they did something wrong, their own ancestral family law was there, how could they sue the official.

This sue the official, doesn't it make the family's reputation stink?

Then it will not affect the marriage of the children.

Therefore, no one wants to be silent.

The leading official was surnamed Li, known as Li Zhutou, and when he saw that these people were silent, he scared them all the time.

"If there are any insiders among you, you'd better come forward, or if we find out the truth later, you're guilty of harboring! The crime of harboring is equivalent to being an accomplice, and it will lead to a big prison, so don't involve yourself because you are confused for a while. ”

As soon as Li Zhutou's words came out, those villagers suddenly looked frightened.

They didn't do it, so why should they be implicated?

Family reputation is one thing, but the interests of this person are more important.

Immediately, some people couldn't hold back and wanted to confess the old Wang's family.

At this moment, Li Zheng hurried over.

"Official, there is a misunderstanding in this matter."

Li Zheng ran out of breath, and after entering the courtyard, he couldn't breathe, "Official, I am Li Zheng from Linjia Village, please listen to me, all this is a misunderstanding, the Lin family has not been robbed." ”

"No thieves?" Li Zhutou glanced at the messy courtyard, "Could it be that this is forged by the Lin family themselves?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and scolded Lin Ruan, "Do you know what the crime of reporting the case is in a panic?" ”

Lin Ruan took a step forward, his eyes were clear, and he said loudly: "Official, I didn't panic to report the case, my family was robbed, the bud rice I only collected a few days ago, and all the items were stolen, please find out the truth and recover the property for me." If I have half a lie, I am willing to bear all the consequences. ”

Li Zhutou turned to look at Li Zheng, "Did you hear what the Lin family said?" Now you have your own opinions, there are many suspicious points in this case, and you, as Lizheng, need to cooperate with us to find out the truth about this case, and you must not hide it at all! ”

Li Zheng couldn't, so he had to tell the truth.

"Official, this matter is not a theft, just a family matter. Lin Clan Ah Ruan's things were not stolen by thieves, but ......"

"Who did it, please tell me the truth quickly, and don't hide it."

Li Zheng gritted his teeth, "It was the Lin family's grandmother, the Wang family, who led several descendants of the Lin family to move away." ”

After speaking, Li Zheng looked at Lin Ruan with a headache.

"You kid too, if something happens at home, why don't you go to the village to look for me? Can't you get things figured out first? It's obviously a trivial matter, but you went to the county to invite the officials all the way here, isn't this causing trouble to the officials? What nonsense! ”

When those officials heard that the things were moved by the old Wang family, they immediately didn't want to care about it.

It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.

Housework is the most difficult and thankless.

So the head catcher said: "Lin, since the matter has been ascertained, and your family's things are taken by your grandmother, then this matter will be resolved by you through negotiation." Okay, a few brothers, take it. ”

"Official, you just left, if I can't get that thing back, how should my sister and I live?"

Li Zheng saw that Lin Ruan was still going to make trouble, so he glared at her, "Ah Ruan! If there is anything, let's sit down with our family and discuss it slowly, don't delay the time of a few officials! They all have people on official business, how can they have so much time to deal with such a trivial matter. ”

The same attitude was felt by those officials.

Lin Ruan couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw that he had tossed all the way and only got such a result.

But she also knew that she couldn't stop these officials at this time, so she could only endure it first, and then find a way to clean up the old Wang family when she turned around.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Zheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Official, I'll send you off." ”

The officials swaggered and left.

Suddenly, a question came from outside the door: "Is the case closed?" ”

When everyone looked back, they saw a man in his forties wearing a county official uniform standing outside the courtyard gate, followed by several officials and several palanquin bearers carrying a sedan chair.

The officials and villagers hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"I've seen adults."

Only Lin Ruan and Xiuxiu didn't react a little, and looked at the county order with two points of blankness.

The head catcher scolded: "Bold people's daughter, don't kneel down quickly when you see the county order!" ”

Lin Ruan came back to his senses, lowered his head and pursed his lips, and pulled Xiuxiu to kneel.

This evil old society!

The county commander stepped into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Everyone hurry up, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Lin Ruan didn't stand up on his own recklessly, but waited for Li Zheng and the villagers to shout: "Lord Xie." After that, they stood up together.

Li Zheng's legs were weak, and the top of his head was sweating, and he really couldn't understand why the dignified county magistrate would come to their inconspicuous little village.

By the way, the first sentence of the county magistrate's question just now seems to be about Lin Ruan's case.

Li Zheng was shocked, could it be that the county order came specifically for this matter?

It's just a theft, and it's worth the county order to make such a big move?

Could it be that there is something else involved?

The more Li Zheng thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, so he hurriedly bowed forward, knelt in front of the county order and said: "The villain is the one in the village of the Lin family, I don't know that the adults are coming, and I don't know if the adults are coming, and I ask the adults to forgive me." ”

The county commander's surname is Qin, and he has a pair of mustaches that don't look like good goods.

Qin Xian Ling helped Li Zheng up with a smirk, "Hurry up, those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Li Zheng was personally supported by the county order, and the whole person was a little fluttering.

"I don't know why the adults came to Linjia Village?"
