As they stared at each other, there was a cry of begging for mercy in the hall: "Spare your life, spare your life!" ”

Xiao Wu'er and the other three accomplices who cried and begged were dragged to the courtyard by the officials, and they couldn't help but hold them down, and beat them with sticks, until their skin and flesh were opened, and the ghosts cried wolf, and the screams were so shocking that the intellectuals on the trees became dumb.

"The matter has now been clarified, and as for how to punish it, Shen County Decree will rule according to the law. Also, Liang Ji's ancestral house has so much grain stored, I think I should check his family's grain store, don't take advantage of natural disasters to hoard goods and raise prices! Chu Lin said coldly. His words were like an ice arrow, piercing Liang Wu directly, making him tremble in despair.

"Yes, I'll do it tomorrow." Shen Zhanghua bowed.

The relief grain of the imperial court is still being raised, and if Liang Ji's grain is confiscated, it can solve the urgent need of the moment.

Shen Zhanghua thought about it again and again, and left two more servants to be sent by Han Liu. Then he didn't dare to delay for a moment, took the officials, escorted Liang Wu and others, and went back to the county government directly. Seeing that things were in order, Village Chief Yin also withdrew with the villagers.

The people of Lao Wangzhuang watched Shen Zhanghua quickly cut through the chaos and tried the case, and they were frightened by this young county master.

"Master, isn't it time to go back?" Zhao Ji'an peeked at Chu Lin, who was standing in front of the duck shed.

"How did she arrange it?" After a long time, Chu Lin suddenly spoke.

"Patriarch Du originally wanted to take her back to Dujiagou, but Miss Du was afraid of frightening her mother, and she was afraid that she would lose the duck halfway, so she is now temporarily arranged to live in the village chief's house in Yinjia Village, and the people of Dujiagou have gone back." Zhao Ji'an told the original information of the inquiry.

"It's not easy for the people, have you given the expenses for temporary housing?" Chu Lin then asked.

"Given, it's not good for me to come forward, let Han Zhu give it to the head." Zhao Ji'an has followed Chu Lin for many years, and he can feel the temper of his master somewhat.

"Hmm. In addition, you tell Han Liu, don't let Du Mei exterminate locusts in Laowangzhuang and Liangjiawan, and go to other villages. I'll leave it to Qian Maoda here. Chu Lin commanded in a deep voice. He knew Du Mei, what this girl had agreed to do, and she would have to break through the south wall, so she wouldn't give up using ducks to kill locusts.

"There is another thing, the stone does not dare to come to see you, only to say that this time it is a dereliction of duty, and he is willing to accept any punishment." Zhao Ji'an hesitated again and again, glanced at Chu Lin cautiously and said.

"Forget it, Meizi didn't have any major incidents after all, and it was not easy to be a secret guard, not to mention that there was nowhere to hide in an open field. You let him do it with his heart. Chu Lin's face did not move, and he said lightly.

"Then I'll let him kowtow and thank you." When Zhao Ji'an heard this, he was overjoyed and said busily.

"Confused, what kind of hypocrisy is this going on! Ready, ready, it's time to go back. Chu Lin turned his head and glared at Zhao Ji'an.

"Yes!" Zhao Ji'an turned around and went to gather the soldiers of the Beijing patrol camp.

Finally the roots of his ears were clear, Chu Lin wanted to stay and take care of Du Mei, the wounds all over his body and the trembling third brother made his heart feel as if he had been pinched hard, and the pain was irreparable. But now is really not the time to meet, and he hasn't even figured out how to tell her his true identity.

"Master!" Zhao Ji'an came with Mo Yun.

"Let's go." Chu Lin turned over and got on his horse and whispered.

Riding out of Lao Wangzhuang, not far away, Zhao Ji'an stepped forward immediately, raised his whip and pointed at the only one in the silence

The person with the lamp: "That's the house of Village Chief Yin." ”

Chu Lin looked at it silently, turned his head and lightly clicked, and Mo Yun had to order him to rush away, maybe only this late night wind could soothe the pain in his heart and comfort his thoughts that couldn't be dissolved.

Du Mei woke up in the granary and saw that the villagers in Dujiagou were sad and happy. Her eyes searched the crowd twice, where was Chu Lin! She closed her eyes and thought to herself that she must have been dazzled.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed that Village Chief Yin had prepared for them, Du Tao accompanied her, and Tian was busy boiling medicine in the kitchen.

"Momoko, you're scared." Du Mei stroked Du Tao's hand, seeing that her eyes were swollen from crying, she really couldn't bear it.

"Sister......" Du Tao buried her whole little face in Du Mei's palm and rubbed it like a kitten.

"Peach, let's not tell my mother, okay?" Du Mei reached out her other hand and stroked her soft hair, and said gently.

"But my mother will still know." Du Tao pouted and said.

"I told the patriarch, don't tell my mother yet. I'm just a small injury, and when we kill the locusts, we won't even leave a mark, so where will my mother know. Du Mei smiled and coaxed Du Tao.

Xu Shi was not worried that she would take her sister out to exterminate locusts, if she knew about tonight's incident, she would definitely say nothing and never let her go out again.

"Sister, you are like this, and you still have to insist on exterminating locusts!" When Du Tao heard this, he asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, Peach, this happened today, but it's better, let's kill the locusts later, no one will dare to make trouble." Du Mei tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, feeling pain.

"Sister, I'll listen to you." Du Tao has always admired and worshiped the eldest sister in her heart, and naturally everything is decided by Du Mei.

"What are the two sisters talking about, the two sisters are really enviable." Tian came in with a bowl of black medicine and a grin.

"Thank you, auntie, I'm still bothering you to boil medicine so late." Du Mei sat up in pain, half-leaning on the head of the bed.

"Give your sister a drink while it's hot, and you can sleep more comfortably at night." Tian handed the medicine bowl to Du Tao.

"Auntie, you can rest quickly." Du Mei was deeply disturbed and urged.

"Well, after you finish drinking the medicine, the bowl will be left here, and I'll clean it up tomorrow." Tian hid his face and yawned, turned and left.

"Sister, I'll feed you." Du Tao scooped the medicinal juice with a small spoon, put it under her lips and blew it carefully, and then handed it to Du Mei's mouth.

"Sister will come by herself." Du Mei swallowed the medicine and said to Du Tao with a smile.

"Well, sister, don't drink it yet, I have a good thing!" Du Tao suddenly remembered something, put down the bowl, and went to turn over her baggage.

"What's good?" Du Mei turned his head and asked.

"On the day we went out, Guizi stuffed me with preserved apricots! I've been so busy these days that I've forgotten to eat, and I've just been over to you at this time. Du Tao shook a small jar and said with a smile.

"How did you give up this gluttonous cat?" Du Mei smiled, raised his head and drank all the potions.

"Sister, is it sweet?" Du Tao laughed eatingly, picked up a piece of dried apricots and stuffed it into Du Mei's mouth.

"Sweet and sour, you can eat a piece yourself." Du Mei doesn't like to eat these, her eyes are so sour that her eyes are wet, but they are sweet to the bottom of her heart.

"I don't eat it, I'll keep it for you." Du Tao shook his head.

"Sister is not afraid of bitterness, I want to leave all the sweetness to you." Du Mei grabbed Du Tao's hand.

"Sister......" Du Tao threw herself into the arms of the eldest sister, choked and speechless.

"Sleep." Du Mei moved out and let Du Tao sleep inside.

Today's night is so long, until three o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark and gloomy, and the chickens in the yard have not been announced. Du Mei woke up and turned her head to look at Du Tao who was sleeping next to her, she was crying and anxious last night, after all, she was a ten-year-old child, and she was sleeping soundly at this time.

Du Mei tiptoed up and lifted the curtain to see that the sky was covered with black clouds, and there was no light to see. It looks like a rainstorm is coming after a long drought.

I didn't have time to take care of myself last night, and at this time, Du Mei was full of thoughts about the duck, if the duck was sick in the rain, when would the locust be destroyed?

"Ah, why are you up, don't catch the cold, go back and lie down!" When Village Chief Yin saw her come out, he urged in surprise.

"I see it's going to rain, come and see the ducks." Du Mei looked at the root of the courtyard wall, there was nothing there!

"I'm also afraid of the rain, so I've already locked the duck in the lower room." Village Chief Yin was afraid that she would be in a hurry, so he hurriedly explained.

"Thank you so much!" Dumay curtsied. The ducks quacked excitedly when they heard Du May's voice.

"Seeing that it is going to rain heavily, the ducks can't go down to the field, and your body is not refreshing, it is better to rest for a day. I can still get the duck's food. Village Chief Yin said with a smile.

"Don't bother you, I'll bring duck food, three or five days will be enough." Du Mei said with a smile.

"You girl, you think about everything. After a while, I had breakfast and went to sleep again. Village Chief Yin looked at Du Mei's face was not good.

In the afternoon, the long-awaited rain, after a burst of lightning and thunder, finally poured down, Du Mei stood at the door of the house and looked out, the boundless rain curtain was woven impermeable, the raindrops smashed on the ground, conjuring into a small nest, and soon turned into a small puddle, gradually becoming a puddle.

"After drinking the medicine, go in and sleep for a while, Dr. Zhong wants you to rest more." Tian was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she draped one of her own clothes over Du Mei's shoulders.

"Hmm." Du Mei drank the medicine, and the pain on her body was indeed better, but she was a little drowsy.

Du Mei didn't know that Zhong Yu had added a dose of harmless herbs to the prescription in order to force her to rest. When she woke up, it was dark outside, and she didn't know if it was late or a precursor to heavy rain.

"Momoko, what time is it?" Du Mei turned her head and asked the third sister who had been with her.

"It's almost time." Du Tao estimated it.

"How long have I been asleep?" Du Mei said in disbelief.

It's raining so hard today, and Du Mei has made up for a few days. It's just that she and Du Tao live here temporarily, eating and drinking for nothing, which is not good. She hurriedly got up and walked to the kitchen, relieved if she could help with something.

"Auntie, do you want to help?" Du Mei saw Tian busy in the kitchen alone.

"Oh, you girl, it's really hard work, don't do it, just rest." Tian said with a smile.

"It's just a flesh wound, where is the delicate can't do things?" Du Mei also smiled.

"I'm all handy little things, I'm used to doing them, if you help me, I'll be in a mess." Tian found a stool to sit with her, but she didn't want to interfere.

Last night, Han Zhutou gave her father-in-law five hanging money, saying that it was given by the county government, and asked the Dumei sisters and the duck to borrow it at his house for a few days. For a family like them, it is the income of more than half a year's labor. 2k reading web
