The sun is setting in the west, and the afterglow shines on the whole courtyard.

Chen Xi was wearing simple clothes, but his back was straight.

She stood silently in the middle of such people, even though many people looked at her with mocking or hilarious or sarcastic eyes

The expression on her face remained calm, as if the focus was not on her.

Yang Tinghan stood aside, his face was as cold as frost, and his whole body exuded an aura of not being approached, but when his eyes looked at Chen Xi, a trace of pampering flashed in his cold eyes.

The old lady was silent, closed her eyes and recuperated, constantly moving the Buddha beads in her hand, seemingly calm and calm, but the slightly fluttering eyelashes betrayed his nervous mood.

Ay! Poor old man.

Chen Xi sighed in his heart but did not take the initiative to let go, but looked at the old lady with burning eyes: "In fact, this matter has reached a deadlock, and I ask the old lady to call the shots and bring rice wine to verify the murderer!" ”

Gu Wanhua was suffocated in her heart, she subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she met the sharp gaze of the old lady, she lowered her head weakly.

The old lady glanced at the grandmother next to her, and before she had time to order, she asked people to get rice wine, and the grandmother knelt down and begged for mercy: "The old lady forgives her sins, this is all the fault of the old slave......

Mama knelt on the ground and took all the blame on herself, as for the reason for the drugging, of course, she couldn't stand the old lady's punishment.

Although the reason is absurd, everyone has found suspicious points, but since ancient times, the people have not reported it, and the officials have not held it accountable.

Chen Xi saw the old lady again with a trace of pity in her eyes, she was old and returned to her birthday, but she was destroyed by her own granddaughter.

Now that the truth has been ascertained, the old lady waved her hand, rewarded many valuable gifts, and sent Yang Tinghan and Chen Xi away.

"Hey!"

The sky was getting dark, the old lady deliberately patted the carriage, and as soon as Chen Xi got into the carriage, he sighed leisurely: "It's hard for the old lady to have such a rude and willful girl at home." ”

"I can't raise my godfather! That's what they deserve! ”

The carriage was galloping on the country road, and at a bend, Yang Tinghan took advantage of Chen Xi's inattention and quickly shot out a hidden weapon.

The person hiding in the grass quickly touched the hidden weapon, and when he saw the note on it, his expression was terrified.

……

Prefectural Command, Buddha Hall.

The old lady knelt on the futon and chanted the scriptures and prayed seriously, and the son and daughter-in-law kneeling behind her.

"Mother begs you, Wanhua is a child's heart to do things for a while, please don't send her to the family temple!"

"Yes, the daughter-in-law knows that it is the daughter-in-law's fault all these years, and she has not taught several children, please spare him this time for the sake of his young age!"

The old lady's ears rang with her son's daughter-in-law's begging for mercy, and she opened her eyes tiredly: "You all go out, let me think about it!" ”

Only the voice of the old lady chanting scriptures and praying for blessings remained in the Buddhist hall, and suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of him.

"Don't come unharmed, old lady!"

"My lord, you are here today ......"

"I already know what happened at the banquet, old lady, your granddaughter is too unruly, such a person will cause a big disaster sooner or later!"

Hearing the words of the man in black, the old lady seemed to have been drained of her strength, and knelt on the futon weakly: "I don't know what to do, please ask the adults to say a lot of kind words in the capital, I hope my son can return to the capital next year!" ”

Using her granddaughter in exchange for the last trace of benefits, the old lady's cheeks were burned red.

The man in black waved his hand indifferently: "Lord Gu is conscientious for the officials, for the country and the people, it's time to go to the capital." ”

"Thank you!"

The old lady walked out of the Buddhist hall and immediately ordered the eldest lady Gu Wanhua to be sent into the temple to pray for the old lady.

The two county commanders cried to death, and they hated Chen Xi even more in their hearts.

"That old immortal knows that he is biased towards outsiders, and now he is sending my heart and liver to chant and pray for blessings, Chen Xi, I must let her live as well as die!"

Ahh

The evening breeze is breezy and the autumn breeze is slightly cool.

Chen Xi got out of the carriage and sneezed several times in a row.

Yang Tinghan took off his coat and put it on his body: "Is it cold!" ”

"It's okay, my body is cold, I'm just a little tired!" The two of them politely sent the people sent by the old lady away, and just after putting the things in place, they heard a few hurried footsteps.

When the two walked out of the house, they saw the Yang family coming over.

Oh my!

Something happened, and I haven't seen it for a month or two, and it's changed too much.

The four members of the Yang family, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, looked sluggish, as if they had just been devastated, the corners of Chen Xi's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn't believe it at all, this was the person who bullied him when he first crossed over.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with the second brother and sister-in-law coming over today?"

"We ......" The four of them looked at each other, and finally Sun stubbornly spoke.

"We can't make it to ourselves, please help!" Sun's two eyes were like a flood that opened the floodgates, and tears flowed out like no money.

She sat on her knees and cried for a long time, stinking and retelling the story of the matter.

Chen Xi's heart was weak when he heard it, this is the ancient times when power was supreme.

The village chief looks like an official position, but he controls a lot of resources, and he can also manipulate people at will.

If the child wants to gain fame in the future, he will need a letter of recommendation from the village chief from the beginning of his childhood.

If you provoke the village chief, there will definitely be no letter of recommendation, and your life's future will be ruined.

Chen Xi knew the seriousness of the matter, and it could also be seen from the whole matter that Village Chief Liu was bullying.

"What's the use of you coming to us, shouldn't you come to the village chief or the patriarch at this time?"

"We've already looked for it, but the village chief has already made a feud, obviously doesn't care, the patriarch said that he would take care of it, but put forward the conditions......" Sun said in the end.

Wu secretly scolded in her heart that it was useless, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Didn't you invite the patriarch on the day of your family's Shangliang, although we were at odds with each other, but the bones were broken and the tendons were connected, and the patriarch even hated us, he said it was okay to help, but I want you to apologize in the past......"

Apologize?

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Chen Xi already smelled a hint of conspiracy, and so did Yang Tinghan.

Under the cold moonlight, Yang Ting snorted coldly: "I don't know what we did wrong to apologize, the patriarch is really respectable!" ”

"I know you two don't want to, but we can't help it, for the sake of the two children, please help!" Thinking of his son, he gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Impossible! If you bow your head this time, will you bow your head every time you encounter something in the future? Chen Xi's attitude was very resolute.

Sun cried in despair: "It seems that there is really no way at all, so I can only sell those two girls!" ”
