Li Xiaobao, who had a round head and a round brain, sucked his fingers and took Hua Qiao and Hu Yanjin to a wasteland with a hollowed-out mountain standing on it.

He took his cleanly sucked index finger out of his mouth, pointed to the mountain, and said, "There." ”

Hu Yanjin took Hua Qiao's hand and walked over.

The feldspar area is bare, but there will be floating soil deposited over the years on the mountain, and the soil layer is not thick, so it is enough to grow cabbage. Yesterday it rained heavily, and some hemp greens have been washed away.

"Perhaps, this kind of heavy metal that will make people chronically poisoned is hidden in these feldspar mines, first polluting the soil, and then being absorbed into the vegetable leaves by Ma Qing, Lin Xiaosi's family has been eating the Ma Qing vegetables grown here for a long time, and the toxins will accumulate more and more in the body."

Hua Qiao said slowly, describing something in her heart that she didn't understand. Although she didn't know what this heavy metal was called, and she didn't know how to prove its existence, she believed in Daddy's words, Daddy came from a magical hometown called Modern Times.

"Daddy said that what we haven't seen doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. But what if others don't believe it? Hua Qiao said with some worry.

Hu Yanjin smiled: "That's easy to do, anyway, everyone hasn't seen it, so it's not okay to say anything." Buckwheat, you said, everyone has never seen a ghost, why do you believe that there are ghosts? ”

"Is that because there is a ghost in my heart?"

"Yes, everybody says yes, and that's true. Now this heavy metal is too, you say it so hard to understand, it must be hard to believe. Let's just say that this land is occupied by a ghost called "it", and the plants that grow on it cannot be eaten, and if you eat it, you will be poisoned and die. ”

"Oh, brother, you're such a genius! You say, what else do you make up to lie to me like this? ”

"I was wronged! I've even told you who my dad is, what else is there to make up nonsense? Hu Yanjin grabbed Hua Qiao's hand and kissed it on the lips: "Now at least I know that it is not an epidemic and will not be contagious." ”

They looked around, there were several stone mountains connected to this mine, but they were all barren mountains, it seemed that the Lin family was forced by their fellow clans to have no choice, so they planted vegetables on this half of the mountain.

So only his family in the village, and Zhang's family, who ate his cabbage, were poisoned.

It is a blessing in misfortune that the whole village did not suffer.

The two people who made up the nonsense returned to the Lin family, but there was no one inside. Strangely, the two aunts who were walking towards the east end of the village shouted at them:

"Let's go to the Lin family ancestral hall!"

That's right, Lin Xiaosi carried her mother's corpse.

The front of the Lin ancestral hall was already full of people, and Lin Xiaosi put her mother in the middle of the ancestral hall. There were five or six people standing in front of them, all of whom seemed to be elders in the Lin clan.

"Lin Xiaosi, let me tell you, don't go wild here! Your father and mother died by the evil spirit, and your dead ghost brother came back to pick up your father and mother, even if you are there, you can't stop it! ”

"Nonsense! The doctors from the county have all said that my father and mother are poisoned, not some kind of evil! You blocked my door and left my parents, brothers and sisters waiting to die inside! ”

The more Lin Xiaosi said, the more angry he became, he had been outside for the past few years, and he cared little about his parents, and when he came back this time, he saw the tragic situation at home, the eldest brother and the second brother were flooded by the Yellow River in the early years.

A few years ago, the bureaucratic land annexed and swallowed most of his family's land, but he still had to bear the taxes on the original land.

The third sister-in-law led everyone up to oppose the government's forced distribution of taxes to landless peasants.

Although he has been following his third sister-in-law, the people in the village thought that he had gone to Hejian City, because every year he asked someone to bring rice and grain back to the village from Hejian to his parents.

"Poisoned? What poison is it? Who poisoned it? Lin Xiaosi, don't be arrogant in front of your ancestors, your third brother and third sister-in-law took out such a big thing, which affected the villagers, and we haven't settled accounts with you yet, but you came to frame us for poisoning......"

"Ancestor? Today, I just want my ancestors to open their eyes and see what their filial sons and grandchildren have done. ”

Lin Xiaosi said as he picked up a shovel leaning against the wall and rushed into the ancestral hall to beat him randomly.

Ah Gua wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by the people who poured in from the Lin family.

"Bastard thing!" The patriarch didn't speak, and his beard was so angry that he turned up:

"Tie up this obstacle that has no ancestors in your eyes! The country has national laws, and the clan has clan rules, I will let you see today, the clan rules of the Lin family are not hung in the ancestral hall for decoration! ”

Lin Xiaosi was tied out of the ancestral hall by several people and knelt in the middle of the open space outside.

As soon as the patriarch's words fell, several people went out to collect firewood, and soon, a large pile of firewood was piled up in the middle of the clearing.

This is to be burned at the stake. The punishment for the complete removal of a clansman from the clan rules is the punishment of the clan.

They firmly believe that only by burning this person to ashes and crushing bones and ashes can they be destroyed, and they will truly no longer be the descendants of their Lin family.

Hu Yanjin snorted coldly, stepped forward and drank: "Are you going to set up a private court?" ”

"This son-in-law, this is a private matter of our clan, and the government is not allowed to interfere, why should you take care of it?" The old patriarch is not even afraid of the village head, let alone an outsider.

"Why? Just because you bullied Lin Xiaosi's family, first handed over most of their rice fields, and then privately divided his family's vegetable fields, forcing his family of four to death. ”

"Joke! We replaced his vegetable plot, and they have been using the land they have been using, so what's wrong with that? What's more, you are an outsider, why should you care? ”

Hu Yanjin laughed, showed a "governor" token and said: "I'm a dignified three-grade governor, why can't I take care of it?" ”

Ah Gua walked up to Lin Xiaosi, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Lin Xiaosi, the governor is here, will you tell me?" ”

Governor? The people in the village had never seen such a big official in their lives, and they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

This time, in order to act and recruit security, Hu Yanjin specially asked the imperial grandson for a temporary position as governor of Shandong, who was also a third-grade official, and in the eyes of the people, he was much more powerful than the James of James's Mansion.

Lin Xiaosi's face was surprised, and he said excitedly: "I'll sue!" ”

Hu Yanjin said: "You can sue your patriarch for abusing your clan power and embezzling your family's fertile land, and second, you can sue your patriarch for destroying the feng shui in the village and distributing the wasteland where ghosts and gods live to your family, causing your family to eat the plants growing on the land and die of ghost poison!" ”

At this moment, everyone present was shocked!

This is not just a matter of the Lin family, it is related to the lives of the whole village. difficult, even the surname Zhang was unlucky.

Hu Yanjin was originally tall, he stood there with his hands behind his back and a serious face, not angry and arrogant.

The village chief, who had been hiding in the crowd, stood up cautiously, bowed to Hu Yanjin, and whispered: "Lord Governor, the villain is the village chief, and the villain dares to ask the lord to ...... this place of ghosts and gods Point it out. ”

"The abandoned mine in the south of the village, the plants that grow in that area can't be eaten, although they won't die immediately after eating, but after a long time, they will be poisoned, and the symptoms will be like the Lin family and the Zhang family." Hu Yanjin's tone is undoubted.

"Huh? The Lin clan is too bad, not to mention harming the people in his own clan, this is to kill the people of the whole village! ”

"Lin Xiaosi is so wronged! Make him compensate! ”

The person next to him had already loosened Lin Xiaosi's ties.

He gratefully kowtowed to Hu Yanjin three times.
