Chapter 228: Toadstool

In the hustle and bustle of everyone, May passed in a blink of an eye.

Now it's time to pick apricots and peaches.

This time, there is no need to worry about Sakura, the second cousin invited a few friends to start working.

The Jiang family and the people in the village have already picked the fungus once, and now they have replanted it.

Some villagers also sold their surplus mushrooms to the villagers of Xicun.

As a result, there are several more families living in the West Village on the southern slope, including Chen Laoshui's family.

That's right, Chen Laozhuan seems to have figured it out since the flood, and spent a lot of money to hire people to build five large tiled houses on the southern slope.

The house was built on the land of his youngest son, Chen Changhai.

As soon as it was built, even the stucco lime didn't dry, so Chen Lao and his wife brought Xu Bao and Chen Zhao Chen Tiantian to live.

So, when Yingbao went out to dig herbs, he often saw Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian taking their younger brother Xu Bao to play in Dongchen Village, and sometimes they went to the martial arts training ground for half a day.

Ying Bao wondered, I don't understand why they are so idle, don't these two people go to the medicine hall to be apprentices?

What's even more excessive is that these two goods also took Xubao to their own orchard and asked Jiang Quan for apricots and peaches, and the second cousin actually gave them them.

Sakura Bao wanted to warn the second cousin a few words, but after thinking about it, forget it.

She wanted to see what they wanted to do as they circled around their house.

But before she could figure it out, a large group of guards suddenly came to the village, led by Xiao Mo.

Arriving with him was Cao Shen, the county lieutenant of this county.

"Where is Dongchen Village?" Cao Shen rode on a horse and watched the lively villagers.

Jiang Saburo happened to be at home, and immediately ran out when he heard the news.

He saw Cao Shen at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Jiang Sanlang, the village of Dongchen Village, has seen Cao Guanren." ”

Cao Shen raised his chin and said, "Do you know that the villagers surnamed Chen in your village sell poisons to poison nobles?" ”

Jiang Saburo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The villager surnamed Chen sells poisons? Who it is, please ask Cao Guanren to make it clear. ”

Cao Shen snorted, turned his head behind him and said, "You come and tell him!" ”

One of the soldiers came out of the crowd, and it was a servant named Ah Qiu.

He arched his hand towards Cao Shen before he said to Jiang Sanlang: "Two months ago, the slave master bought more than a dozen catties of mushrooms from Patriarch Chen's house at a high price, but they had bad intentions and actually sold toadstools to us. ”

"The patriarch's family sells mushrooms to you?" Jiang Saburo didn't believe it at all: "How is it possible?" ”

All the mushrooms in their village were sold to the Furuifeng Commercial Bank where Steward Zhou was located, including a part of the Jiang family's golden fungus.

Where did this man get the mushrooms? You shouldn't be here to slander people, right?

"How could it not be? It was Patriarch Chen's daughter-in-law who sold it to us. ”

Ah Qiu's words were conclusive: "If you don't believe it, call them here, let's confront them face to face." ”

Jiang Saburo furrowed his eyebrows and instructed a villager to call Patriarch Chen and his daughter-in-law over.

After a while, Patriarch Chen hurriedly came, followed by Chen Zhu and Chen Zhu's daughter-in-law Shao Shi.

"San Lang, what's going on?" Patriarch Chen was startled when he heard that his daughter-in-law was selling toadstools to others.

Chen Zhu didn't worry about his father, so he and his wife followed.

Jiang Saburo: "This person said that your daughter-in-law sells toadstools." ”

"How is that possible?" Patriarch Chen's gaze swept over the Shaw family and shook his head: "My daughter-in-law does her duty, when did she sell toadstools and mushrooms?" Ah Qiu, you can't climb around. ”

Ah Qiu was anxious: "Patriarch Chen, the slave swears to the sky, it is your daughter-in-law, that day our carriage passed near your house, and your second daughter-in-law Han stopped us from talking, saying that she had mushrooms in her hand and wanted to sell them to the slave son." ”

Patriarch Chen froze.

Han's! It's Han again!

He's at that stupid thing.

Cao Shen spoke: "Patriarch Chen, hand over the people quickly, let's hand them over as soon as possible." ”

Patriarch Chen's hands trembled, and he turned to his youngest son and said, "Go and call your second sister-in-law." ”

I can't affect the whole family because of one Han.

As soon as Chen Zhu was about to run to call someone, he heard Xiao Mo say: "Since the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to delay any longer, Captain Cao can send someone to arrest them all." ”

Cao Shen: ......

Looking around, County Lieutenant Cao ordered the county soldiers he brought: "Let that person lead the way, arrest the criminals and their families, and be sure not to let one go!" ”

"Yes!" More than a dozen county soldiers immediately followed behind Chen Zhu and ran down the mountain.

Jiang Saburo's face was solemn, and he wanted to ask Patriarch Chen what was going on, but he couldn't help it.

As soon as he heard that even his family was arrested together, the Chen patriarch was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Big officials, one person does things and one person is in charge, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the Chen family." ”

Chen Fu couldn't figure out what had happened, so he asked Xiao Mo from Fucheng to come and arrest people in person, and also catch the whole family.

Xiao Mo ignored him, and turned to Jiang Sanlang and said, "Xiao is not only here to arrest the criminals today, but also has something to ask Jiang Cunzheng for help." ”

Jiang Sanlang only felt that his scalp was numb, "Commander Xiao is polite, if you don't help, you can just tell you if you have something." ”

Xiao Mo: "I gave instructions to find a child who knows how to heal, and I see that your Yingbao medical skills are good, and I want to tell you that tomorrow I will take her into Beijing to treat the nobles." ”

"No! My daughter is only a few years old, where will she treat people, and I ask Xiao Guanren to find out. Jiang Saburo arched his hand towards Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was noncommittal, and only quietly glanced at Jiang Saburo and everyone.

Soon, Patriarch Chen's eldest son's family and second son's family were brought, and even Chen Boyuan, who was unable to walk, was also brought over.

Ah Qiu pointed at Han Miaoniang and said to the county lieutenant Cao Shen: "She is the one who sells toadstools to us." ”

Han Miaoniang was frightened and exclaimed: "I don't have it, what kind of toadstool mushroom, that is the golden fungus grown by our family, how can it be a toadstool mushroom?" ”

Cao Shen sneered and waved his hand: "Take them to the prisoner car!" ”

The soldiers hula hula, and surrounded them, revealing two large prisoner carts drawn by two horses.

Amid the screams of Patriarch Chen's family, the soldiers lifted them up one by one and stuffed them into the prisoner car.

Then the villagers rioted, and some people shouted: "Why are you arresting people? ”

"Let them out!"

"What a crime they have committed! You're going to take them all? ”

After all, the patriarch Chen is the pillar of the family, the face of the Chen family, once the patriarch is arrested, their Chen family will be discredited, how can they hold their heads up in front of outsiders?

Seeing this, Xiao Mo motioned to Cao Shen: "Release the Chen patriarch and his wife, and bring the rest back to the county government for trial." ”

So Patriarch Chen and his wife were pulled out of the prisoner's car and thrown aside.

"Daddy! Daddy! Help me! Help me! Han Miaoniang was so frightened that her face turned earthy, and she screamed vigorously.

Now she is more frightened than anyone else, because she knows that there must be something wrong with her golden ear, which makes the noble person eat something wrong.

Maybe the nobleman had already been eaten to death, so these people came to arrest their family.

But she really didn't know that thing would eat the dead, and if she knew, she would give her a thousand taels of silver, and she wouldn't dare to sell it to others.

Han Miaoniang grabbed the wooden fence and shouted: "It's all the Jiang family who harmed me, and it was the Jiang family who gave me a problem with the fungus, that's why I was wronged!" Great officials! We have been wronged! If you want to catch it, just catch the Jiang family......"
