Because of the theft of the Xi family's things and the death of others, there have always been officials and errands in Dahe Village recently, and there are many fewer people who come to buy stones and green tiles, and the business is visible to the naked eye.

Wang Dahu looked at the mountains of green tiles, he couldn't help it, went to look for the pond stream, and said worriedly: "Sister-in-law, our tile kilns are almost full, and there are 200,000 green tiles. If this is not sold, there will be no place to pile it on the kiln. Sister-in-law, why don't we drag it to town in a carriage and buy it? ”

If the green tiles can't be sold, they won't be able to get a commission, and there will be no place to pile up the green tiles, so they have to stop and rest.

Now in early spring, the temperature is suitable, it is a good time to work, if you don't do more work, when summer comes, firing green tiles will become a painful thing.

Chi Xi put down the account book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Wang Dahu with a tangled face, and said lightly: "The official mission will deal with these things as soon as possible, don't worry, since there is no place to pile up green tiles on the tile kiln, you can go to the mountain to pick up firewood for me, or go to dig herbs and clean them and send them over, the price is the same as before." When the matter is dealt with and the green tiles are sold, you will go back to the tile kiln. ”

After thinking about it, Chixi said again: "Let five people guard the tile kiln every day, rotate day and night, and no more accidents can be made in the tile kiln." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back and tell my brothers."

The brothers have been busy for a long time, and they have long been idle, and they only want to earn more silver, although they make a lot of silver by burning green tiles, but they are really tired.

Nowadays, the green tiles can't be fired, and they go to collect firewood and dig herbs is also an income, although they don't make much money by burning green tiles, but as long as they work, they will make money.

It's early spring, the weather is excellent, the mountains in the distance are foggy, and the bright sun is casting, and a thin layer of golden light is cast.

As soon as Chi Xi stood up and walked out of the house, he saw Hong Tao coming over with a serious face, and said with a frown, "Mrs. Xi, please come with us." ”

Chi Xi raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"Master Jin of Datong Town reported the case and accused you of murder and cremation, which is a heinous crime!"

Hong Tao looked at Chi Xi, who had a soft expression, and didn't believe that she could do something to kill more than 20 people.

But Jin Yuanwai's daughter is the favorite concubine of the county magistrate, and today she went to the government to report the case and accuse Mrs. Xi of murder and burning her body, which is known to everyone, and the county magistrate can't turn a blind eye.

When Chi Xi heard this, his expression was faint: "Everything has to be evidenced, you see that I am a female streamer, where can I do the thing of killing people and burning corpses?" And I am pregnant with Liujia, and I must always accumulate virtue for the child in my womb. It's Mr. Jin, who has sent people to the door again and again to disrupt my family's business, and I haven't gone to the county government to report the case, but he will beat me up. ”

Hong Tao has also been in contact with Master Jin and knows that that person is cruel and does everything.

But the county magistrate is willing to give him a few thin noodles, in this small county town, who can say more?

"Mrs. Xi, the county magistrate has an order, you should come with us!"

Hong Tao's face was very serious: "If you haven't done those things, the county magistrate will definitely return your innocence." ”

As soon as Hong Tao's words fell, Tian Cuihe hurriedly walked from outside the courtyard gate, and said with a cold face: "Since you want to take Xiaoxi away, take me with you." That old man Jin from Chase Town has disrupted our business many times and five times, and now he dares to slander Xiaoxi for killing people and burning corpses, which is really hateful! If he will sue the creek, I will sue him! ”

Hong Tao looked embarrassed and reminded in a low voice: "Old Madam Xi, I know you are anxious, but Master Jin has been in Datong Town for many years and has made a lot of friends. ”

The surname Jin has no other skills, and the flattering ability has reached the peak, and his twelve daughters are all given to the county and even the state capital as concubines.

His daughters are also capable and most of them are favored, which fuels his arrogance and makes him less and less concerned about others.

But if anyone dares to steal business from him, he will definitely be severely retaliated, and his family will be ruined.

"Since that's the case, then let's go, I want to see who this Jin master is, so arrogant!"

Although Tian Cuihe has a good temper, she was born noble, and she was once the wife of the Marquis of Zhongwu, giving people an invisible sense of oppression when she has a cold face.

Hong Tao couldn't help frowning, and said lightly: "Old Madam Xi, don't be reckless in everything. Please also follow our county office, the county magistrate has been waiting for a long time. ”

Tian Cuihe set up the carriage and followed Chixi into the carriage, she took Chixi's little hand and comforted in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, it's going to be fine, don't worry." ”

Chi Xi was not worried, although many people had seen wild wolves bite people to death that day, and the possibility of someone betraying them could not be ruled out, but everything tells the evidence.

A person can only be convicted if he or she gets the stolen goods.

If the county magistrate had to stand on Master Jin's side to deal with her regardless of it, she would naturally not sit still.

Xiao Ling was surprised in Chi Xi's mind: "Master, you have changed so much now, it's a bit like when you were the ghost king." ”

Chi Xi didn't know how to explain her psychological changes, but she could best appreciate her changes.

If she had encountered today's events, she would have been frightened by the six gods, but now she didn't feel much, so calm that she was surprised, but deep down she felt that it should have been like this.

"Mother, I'm not worried."

Chi Xi shook his head, squinted slightly, and said lightly: "Everything is about evidence, and there is no proof in death, so he can't convict me." ”

Tian Cuihe looked at Chi Xi, who was too calm, and felt a little disobedient in her heart, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Chi Xi was being reckless.

After all, Da Zhuang was not around, and Chixi had to support this family.

"Being a mother is not as weak as you think, and being a mother can also protect you."

"I know, my mother is never weak, she just handles things in a soft way."

Because Chixi was pregnant, the speed of the carriage was not fast, and it was already afternoon when he went to the county office, and Hong Tao brought Chixi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the government.

Chen Daxiong looked at Chixi with a complicated expression, and beside him sat an old man with a fat head and big ears but fierce eyes, probably Master Jin.

Chen Daxiong opened his mouth and said: "Mrs. Xi, Master Jin accused you of murder and cremation, can you plead guilty?" ”

Chi Xi's expression was indifferent, and he quietly glanced at the triumphant Master Jin, and said lightly: "How can I confess what I have never done?" It's Master Jin, I have never met him, I have never crossed paths, but he has repeatedly sent people to my house to make trouble, and now he is even slandering me for killing people and burning corpses, what is his intention? ”

Chen Daxiong naturally knows what Master Jin has done, but Master Jin's daughter is his own woman after all, and he gave birth to a big fat son for himself, and now that he is pregnant again, he always has to give some face.

"Mrs. Xi, as long as you haven't done those things, this official can't convict you. It's just that someone reports the case, and the official always wants to ask you about the situation. ”

Chen Daxiong raised his head, looked at Tian Cuihe, who was expressionless above, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly made up for it: "Old Madam Xi, sit down, we can investigate this case slowly." ”

Master Jin's face instantly became ugly.

He raised his eyes to look at Chixi's little face as white as jade, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Xi family's business is doing well, and even I, a person who has been in business for decades, can't compare." Now he actually took two female streamers to fool the county magistrate. How? Are the men of your family dead? ”

As soon as Master Jin said this, Tian Cuihe and Chi Xi's faces instantly became very ugly.

Chen Daxiong was even more frightened.

"Master Jin, please be careful!"

Chi Xi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said with sharp eyes: "Be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." My man is not at home for the time being, but our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not let others bully, you open and close your mouth is a curse, don't blame me for being polite. ”

"How are you going to be polite?"

Master Jin didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and relied on his daughter to give birth to a big fat boy to Chen Daxiong, and he was a blessing: "A lowly girl, what qualifications do you have to talk to Master Ben?" If your man is still around, call him out!" ”

"Master Jin, although I am a woman, I also know how to be polite, righteous and honest. I admit that I have never met Master Jin, but I really can't accept that you say that I am low. ”

Chi Xi raised his eyes to look at Chen Daxiong, who was so anxious that he wanted to cover Master Jin's mouth, and said with a cold face: "Lord Chen, Master Jin bullied our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lightly, and even cursed the men of our family, which is really hateful. Today, I want to sue Master Jin for bullying people, seeking information and causing trouble, spreading rumors and slander, and harboring evil intentions! ”

Tian Cuihe stepped forward with a cold face, staring at Chen Daxiong who was embarrassed, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Lord County Order, as Xiaoxi said, although our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are soft-spoken, they will not be at the mercy of others. My man is gone, but my son is still there, and my nephew is still there. If anyone has the intention to provoke, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't mind the fish die and the net is broken! ”

Chen Daxiong shuddered.

Thinking of the murderous Xi Dazhuang who was tall and tall, and thinking of Tian Cuihe's nephew who was the current saint.

He hurriedly said loudly: "Yes, yes, what Mrs. Xi and Mrs. Xi said is extremely true!" Today's events are all misunderstandings, and I'm sorry for you to make this trip. ”

As soon as Chen Daxiong's words fell, Master Jin twisted his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Lord County Commander, what do you mean by this?" They killed and burned twenty-six of my long-term workers, and you let them go like this! ”

"Without evidence, Master Jin doesn't have to say anything."

Chen Daxiong glared at Master Jin vaguely, and said coldly: "What Master Jin said today is really unreasonable, why don't you apologize to Mrs. Xi and Mrs. Xi quickly?" ”

"What? Do you want me to apologize? ”

Master Jin slapped the table angrily, looked at Chixi's beautiful face, squinted his eyes, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The county magistrate is really pitiful and cherishes the jade, and even a big case involving more than 20 lives can be handled so lightly!" ”
