Chapter 45: A 10,000-fold Gap
Uncle Chen reminded: "Brother Zhang, do you remember Chen Er in our village? ”
"You mean?" Uncle Zhang showed a thoughtful expression.
Before he could think about it, Uncle Chen had already continued, "It's the barley from the lower fields of the family last year, and the Chen Erjia who suddenly grew very well." ”
"Yes!"
In the back and forth conversation between the two, everyone finally figured out who Chen Er was.
The former owner of the Zhuangzi next door is surnamed Chen, and it is said that he has some unclear kinship with Lord Chen, the head of the household who sent someone to trouble Lin Yu'an last time.
Chen Er is an ordinary farmer.
But one day, when the owner of Chen Zhuang was inspecting his land, he found that the barley in the field where Chen Er's family had originally only gone to the field was growing very well, even better than in some good fields.
The owner of Chen Zhuang felt that there must be treasures in the field, and the barley would grow so well if it was affected, so he sent his servants to rummage in the fields.
It's just that they dug into the ground and didn't find the so-called treasure.
In the end, Chen Zhuang also arrested Chen Er, but no treasure was found under various tortures.
Little Fat Dun Yang Xian: "And then?" Found the treasure? ”
I didn't expect a discussion of agricultural science to turn into a suspenseful treasure hunt story.
The corners of Lin Yu'an's mouth twitched.
If these two uncles in front of them put on a long shirt and coat and stand on the stage, they will probably become members of a certain cloud club.
It's just that the expression is a little exaggerated.
Compared with them, Lin Yu'an feels that his acting skills are getting better and better, and if he was in his previous life, he might be able to win a folk Oscar or something.
Uncle Chen sighed and pointed to the pile of burned soil, "Actually, the treasures are them." ”
"Huh?"
At this time, even Mu Chen couldn't help it, "Old man, what are you talking about?" These soils are the treasures of the Chen Erjia? ”
Uncle Chen: "The reason why the barley in the fields of Chen's second family suddenly grew so well was because of the use of burned soil. ”
Uncle Zhang: "What do you say?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu'an, who was distracted, also immediately looked over.
I didn't expect to be able to pull things back.
Uncle Chen continued: "Last autumn, those hairy children played with fire and burned the pigsty of Chen Er's family, and everyone pushed the soil piled next to them to the fire in order to put out the fire, and the fire was successfully extinguished. ”
Everyone guessed that there was a follow-up, and there was no interjection with a tacit understanding.
Uncle Zhang: "The old man remembered that although the fire was saved, the big fat pig he raised also escaped. ”
"Didn't you get it back?" Maybe it was gluttony, Yang Xian was immediately attracted by the escaped pigs.
“……”
Lin Yu'an covered his face and wanted to shout not to crook the building!
Fortunately, Uncle Chen was determined and was not affected by Xiao Fat Dun, "Pig, fled to the mountains, and later Chen Er didn't want to touch the scene, so he dismantled the pigsty, and the burned soil and pig manure in it were transported to his family's fields." ”
"Ugh." Uncle Chen sighed, "Now that I think about it, those barley grew well because of the added soil that had been burned!" ”
Uncle Zhang: "I see! ”
Lin Yu'an wanted to applaud Uncle Chen after hearing this, but he didn't expect that the scientific discussion of agriculture was really pulled back by him.
Everyone else was stunned.
Mu Chen immediately stared at the mound of soil that he disliked just now, "So this method of burning soil is very useful for fertilizing fields?" ”
Uncle Zhang nodded vigorously.
"The old man went to see the field of Chen Er's family, and the barley is growing very well, and there are not many weeds."
Lin Ruochen glanced at his sister with a smile, and then proposed to let Uncle Zhang arrange it and let everyone in the village use this method to fertilize the fields.
Uncle Chen reminded: "After all, it was burned with fire, so it can't be used immediately, I remember that Chen's second family put it for two or three days before adding soil to the field, otherwise it may hurt the crops." ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Chen is right!"
After Steward He sent the two old men away, Lin Ruochen looked at Mu Chen, "Aren't you all busy?" Why did you have time to run over? ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
When Lin Yu'an heard the word busy, she glanced at Xixi, her brother was also busy.
Could it be that he and Mu Chen were doing something together?
Mu Chen touched his stomach and said with a bitter face: "This is a long story, I didn't even have time to use breakfast today, and now I'm so hungry, why don't we talk while having lunch?" ”
Everyone: "......"
After lunch, Mu Chen said what he had been busy with in the past few days, "Do you still remember that Lord Chen from the household department?" ”
Lin Yu'an: "The one who sent someone to question?" After all, she only knew about this one Lord Chen.
"That's right, it's him!"
"What's wrong with him?"
Mu Chen: "He was raided and is now locked up in prison, I estimate that he will not be able to run away if he is beheaded after next autumn." ”
Lin Ruochen: "Ah Chen! ”
"Huh?" Mu Chen looked at the curious eyes of the three children in the upper room, and only then did he react, these bloody things were not easy to tell them.
Lin Yu'an also felt that he couldn't let Xixi listen, so he took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "Why do you want to raid your house?" ”
It can't be that the emperor is venting his anger on their family.
Mu Chen opened his mouth again and again, and finally just said: "He stole the money from the treasury and was discovered by the saint, he was really shocked if he didn't know how to check, and the officials who raided the house found at least 200,000 taels in his house." ”
"So much?!"
Lin Yu'an thought that his annual salary was only twenty taels, which was a 10,000-fold gap.
"How did he do it?"
Lin Ruochen frowned, 200,000 taels was not a small amount.
Mu Chen: "Brother Xu took a look and found that the person was like a mouse, only stealing a little at a time, and slowly accumulating." ”
"This kind of thing shouldn't be something that he can do easily as a household servant......" Speaking of this, Lin Ruochen stopped, he glanced at his sister who looked ignorant, and said with a smile: "An An is tired of going out today, why don't you take a nap." ”
Lin Yu'an, who originally wanted to continue listening, had no choice but to pull Xixi back to the house.
Little Fat Dun wanted to go out with him, but was left behind by Mu Chen, "Ah Xian will rest with us." ”
On the way back, Lin Yu'an asked in a low voice, "Xixi, that Uncle Chen, was it arranged by your brother?" ”
Hei Xi thought for a moment, "Want to ask?" ”
Lin Yu'an's eyes lit up, Xixi was asking for her opinion, and she didn't fly away without saying a word, she made much progress compared to before!
"Don't worry, let's rest for a while."
"Oh."
……
Just waiting for Lin Yu'an to wake up from a nap, Xixi is not on the bed.
"Qinghe!"
After Qing He heard the call, he hurriedly trotted in, "Xiangjun is awake?" After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the clothes next to the bed and helped Lin Yu'an put them on.
"Well, what about Heihee?"
"Huh?" Qinghe only found out that Xixi was not in the house at this time, and she said angrily: "I have been sitting outside, but I didn't find her going out." ”
