Xiong Ersheng saw that Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo were no longer kind to them, and immediately grinned and complained aggrieved.

"Wronged, my lord! The grass people just don't want you to dig a well here, but you don't have the courage to really hurt people! Don't look at the grass people's size, but don't be afraid to say it to make people laugh, the grass people are very timid, and they don't even dare to kill chickens on weekdays! ”

Du Tou, who was fighting with them, immediately retorted: "I obviously saw a stone flying from the direction of your side, and after the stone hit Mr. Gong's waist, Mr. Gong fell headlong into the well!" ”

Dai Hui also said: "And we are just theorizing with you, it was you who made the first move, and then the fight started!" ”

Wan Lin has already figured out the ins and outs, and Qi Hongkuo has also understood the truth of the matter.

It's just that although he doubts the identity of these people, he is not as sure as Wan Lin is that they are not villagers.

"Dai Hui!"

Wan Lin looked at him solemnly.

Dai Hui puffed out his cheeks unwillingly, clenched his fists and held back the words that came to his mouth.

Wan Lin's attitude towards Xiong Ersheng softened slightly, and he asked again: "Xiong Ersheng, can you prove that it was not you who caused Mr. Gong to fall into the well, and it was not you who did it with the officers and soldiers first?" ”

Xiong Ersheng lowered his head and replied with some resentment: "The grass people can't prove it!" ”

Wan Lin was silent for a moment and said, "Since you can't prove it, then you don't need to prove it." I see that the officers and soldiers and you are not injured much, as long as Mr. Gong's life is not in danger, today's incident will pass, and no one will be held accountable. Let's dig a well in another place tomorrow. ”

When Dai Hui heard this, he immediately asked unconvinced: "My lord! How can you just forget it? ”

Wan Lin was afraid that he would be really angry, so he squeezed his eyes at him before saying, "We are here for disaster relief so that the people can live peacefully and happily." If you make the people feel sad, won't you live up to Your Majesty's heart for the people? Remember, you are officials, and you are there to serve the people. ”

Qi Hongkuo coughed lightly and said, "You all heard it, right?" Wan Daren, this is the real heart of the people. Okay, you're all tired today, so let's rest with the two of us. ”

"But ......"

Dai Hui knew that they said this on purpose, and he was more in line with their performance.

Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo ignored him and the officers and soldiers, Wan Lin turned to Xiong Ersheng and said, "Xiong Ersheng, don't have any misunderstandings about the government because of today's events. I promise that I will never disturb your village again, and I will not destroy the feng shui of your village. ”

Xiong Ersheng knelt down again and said loudly: "My lord, you are really the master of the blue sky!" ”

Everyone else also knelt down and chanted in unison that they were "Lord Qingtian".

Dai Hui and Tan Su knew that Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo were acting, but the other officers and soldiers didn't know about it, and they all followed them back with a belly of fire.

Xiong Ersheng and the others didn't rush back, and watched Wan Lin and them go away, and Xiong Ersheng's body moved.

"Today's matter is over in the end, that sour show didn't die in the well, it's his fate! It's time for us to go back on an errand! ”

A man frowned and asked, "Boss, the little one looks like those two adults are quite easy to talk to, are they really Qincha?" Can a big official from the capital be so unassuming? ”

Xiong Ersheng snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, do you think that the Qincha from the capital must be as fierce as Yasha?" I don't think they're very easy to talk to, but they just don't want to get into trouble, so hurry up and go through the motions in these places so that they can go back to the capital as soon as possible to enjoy the blessings! ”

After Xiong Ersheng finished speaking, he glanced at the well that had been dug not far away with a disdainful expression, and walked in the direction of leaving Jinping Village with his arms dangling.

After Wan Lin and the others returned to the Yamen, he first asked Fu Xiaojiu, what happened to Gong Rui's injury?

Knowing that Gong Rui's life was not in danger, and the scars on his face could heal, Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo's hearts were put in their stomachs.

Gong Rui's face was temporarily wrapped in bandages, and Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo couldn't help but shake their heads in distress when they saw him.

"Mr. Gong, you have suffered!"

Qi Hongkuo cherishes Gong Rui's talent very much, and when he sees him like this, he feels distressed as if his own son has been injured.

Gong Rui joked lightly: "This injury is nothing, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of breaking the phase." Fu Langzhong said that there is medicine that can cure my scars, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ”

Seeing that Gong Rui was in a good state, Qi Hongkuo felt better.

Wan Lin then asked him if he felt like he had been hit in the waist with a stone.

Gong Rui recalled the situation when he was sober, so he answered very happily.

"I was sitting by the well at the time, and suddenly felt a twitch in my waist, and thought it was a cramp, and then my body involuntarily leaned to the side, and I fell into the well."

Wan Lin immediately said: "Then please ask Mr. Gong to lift your clothes, and let's see if there is any injury to your waist." ”

Gong Rui nodded, Dai Hui and Tan Su helped him lift his clothes, and there was indeed a purple mark the size of a fingernail in the middle of his waist.

Dai Hui immediately said: "This is the trace of being hit by a stone!" The person who throws the stone has a certain internal force, which is not the internal force that a person who does farm work every day can have! ”

Bai Yusheng also said: "What Dai Dutou said is right! If this stone was thrown on Mr. Gong by someone who had no internal strength, it would hurt at most, but it would not have the strength to plant him in the well. ”

Fu Xiaojiu thought of those secret weapon masters around Li Dalong, but she didn't know much about kung fu, and she didn't know if the person who threw the stones was as powerful as those masters.

Qi Hongkuo still couldn't believe it, "Are those people really not villagers?" Is a person with internal strength a person from the rivers and lakes? ”

Wan Lin said to Qi Hongkuo: "It's certain that they are not very villagers, but who they are is still uncertain. But don't worry, Lord Qi, I've already sent someone to follow them secretly. ”

Qi Hongkuo asked unexpectedly, "Oh? When did you send someone to follow them? ”

Wan Lin smiled faintly, "Hehe, this is what I told Dai Hui to do on the way to the field." ”

Qi Hongkuo immediately said with admiration: "Lord Wan is really good at planning!" This time, we will know who they really are and what their purpose is. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said at this time: "Brother Zhang should still be waiting for us, let's go and talk about the current situation." ”

Because Wan Zhang's knife wound was still in the recovery period, Fu Xiaojiu was afraid that too many people would bring bacteria and cause his wound to become infected, so she only let Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo in.

Wan Zhang also understood a little more after listening to their story, and also talked about the previous dispute between Dongzhou County and Quanling County.

Wan Lin was also a little puzzled: "If those people were sent by the county order of Quanling County, then he was too bold, right?" I almost killed someone today! Could it be that the county order of Quanling County also has any background and backing? ”

Wan Zhang said: "I haven't heard that the county order of Quanling County has any background backing. It is also strange to say that our two counties are only this Jinping Village connected to the two county seats, and the rest of the places are the boundaries of other county seats. I heard that the county order of Quanling County is not bad to the people, but I don't think he is a person who does such a thing. ”

Qi Hongkuo listened to it for a long time, and also said what he thought in his heart.

"I don't think that county magistrate should be such a bold person, why don't we wait for the people who are following that group to come back and report it?"

Wan Lin and Wan Chang nodded together.

Wan Lin said: "Then let's not guess, let's comfort and comfort those wronged officers and soldiers." ”

Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo called all the officers and soldiers who had clashed with the villagers together, and everyone's faces were more or less angry.

Wan Lin said to them gently: "Warriors, what happened just now has wronged you. I know it's not your fault at all, it's the so-called villagers who provoked you first. ”

Hearing this "so-called villager", the resentment on everyone's faces turned into doubt.

They were also suspicious of those "villagers", and now that Wan Lin also has doubts about those "villagers", their views on Wan Lin have changed.

Wan Lin saw that their expressions had changed, and then said: "We have already checked the injury on Mr. Gong's lower back, and there are indeed traces of being hit by stones, and the person who threw the stones still has a certain amount of internal strength. ”

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

The leader said excitedly: "Lord Wan, do you really believe what I am waiting for?" ”

Wan Lin replied affirmatively: "Of course Lord Qi and I believe in you!" Why did Master Qi and I speak for them at that time and let you accept your grievances, just because I didn't want to startle the snake. ”

This time, there was no need for Wan Lin to explain more, everyone understood his good intentions, and they all showed a look of relief and admiration.

Wan Lin raised his voice slightly, and encouraged everyone: "In order to comfort everyone, I will invite you to the fruit wine made by my wife tonight." Tomorrow we will continue to dig wells elsewhere, and tomorrow night we will use the water to make a feast! ”

The morale of the crowd was really boosted, and they cheered in unison: "Lord Xie Wan! Thank you, Lord Qi! ”

The people who relieved the hearts of the officers and soldiers, and went to follow the fake villagers also returned.

Dai Hui knew which of these officers and soldiers was good at tracking, so he sent two people who were good at tracking.

But this time only one person came back.

As soon as he came back, he immediately reported the whereabouts of those people to Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo.

Xiong Ersheng took the group of people and left Jinping Village not long after Wan Lin and the others left.

They not only left Jinping Village, but also left Dongzhou County and took a shortcut to Quanling County.

The two stalkers consulted for a moment, leaving one to follow them, and the other to come back first to report the news, and then they relied on the carrier pigeon to make contact.

The messenger said that when he returned, if the other man had not lost them, he should have sent the message back at this time.

He had calculated the time correctly, and just after he had finished reporting his trip, a carrier pigeon flew into the yard.

He hurriedly took down the small note tied to the pigeon's feet, and Wan Lin and Qi Hongkuo couldn't wait to come over.
