Liu Xiancheng walked to his side cautiously and said: "My lord, when the people below went to investigate the Lin family, they said that the konjac tofu that has been more popular in Nancheng recently was indeed made and sold by the Lin family, and the Lin family shipped it to several vegetable farm shopkeepers according to two cents a catty, and the vegetable farm shopkeeper sold it according to three cents a catty. ”

After Liu Xiancheng finished speaking, he retreated to the side and stood aside.

Mao Zhixian picked up a brush and began to write and draw on the paper, calculating the income of the Lin family's konjac tofu.

After calculating for a long time, Mao Zhixian said: "Before Lin Qian, you don't want to fool the official, the official has already calculated, your family spent forty taels of silver on the donkey and donkey cart alone, according to the price of two pennies and a pound of konjac tofu, you have to sell more than 1,000 catties a day, and you have to sell for half a month to earn forty taels of silver, as far as the official knows, you sell konjac tofu for less than ten days, right?" How do you explain the difference in silver? ”

Lin Mingming looked at Lin Qianqian nervously.

In the courtyard, the mayors and villagers of other villages began to discuss.

"The county magistrate's investigation is very clear, this Lin family buys donkeys and cars, and eats meat and rice, this is the style of ordinary people, it is obvious that the silver we were cheated of was picked up by them."

"That's right, some people are used to being poor, and after they suddenly have silver, they can't help but eat and drink nonsense, isn't the Lin family such a person?"

"Although we deserve the money in our village that we deserve it, since the scammer didn't spend the money, the Lin family should return it to us now that he has picked it up."

"That's it, the Lin family is so unreasonable, they actually took our silver for nothing, I'm in business, it's really a business, it's extremely insidious."

．．．．．

Lin Qianqian listened to the discussion in the courtyard and smiled faintly.

Now she has as much as 100,000 taels of silver, and she doesn't care about just eighty-five taels of silver.

But this silver was deceived by the liar and she had no intention of picking it up, could it be that after she picked up the money, she asked the swindler whose money it belonged to like the Virgin Mary, and then sent the money back one by one?

Now that she has silently accepted the money, if she takes it out now, it will definitely have an impact on her reputation.

Even if she felt that the people in these villages were pitiful and had lost five taels of silver in vain, it was impossible for her to take out the silver.

Lin Qianqian smiled faintly and replied calmly: "If you go back to your adult, the money for our family to buy donkeys and donkey carts is given by others. ”

Mao Zhixian also laughed and asked sarcastically, "Who gave it?" It is a miracle that such a great and good person should be met by you. ”

The people in Quxi Village, who were kneeling in the hall, all sweated for Lin Qianqian.

All the families in the village don't have forty taels of silver together, and the Lin family's silver to buy donkeys and donkey carts seems to be really unknown.

The lieutenant persuaded Lin Qianqian in a low voice: "Girl, in front of the county master, don't talk nonsense, if the silver is really picked up by you, you can quickly take it out and hand it to the county master, the county master will definitely not embarrass you for the sake of saving Tianmei and helping to catch the liar." ”

Lin Dashi and the others nodded quietly to Lin Qianqian, obviously agreeing with the words of the lieutenant chief.

Lin Qianqian smiled, "Second grandfather, I know what to do, you don't have to worry." ”

"Silence! Quiet! Quiet! Do not whisper in the courtroom. Mao Zhixian once again sounded shocked, "Before the forest, the nonsense in the public court is going to eat the board, you have to think clearly before replying." ”

Lin Qianqian calmly replied: "Back to the words of the lord, what the people said is true, someone did give my family a hundred taels of silver, the donkey and donkey cart that the lord said about buying, as well as my family's two puppies, and many things added to the family, etc., some of the silver that my family earned from selling konjac tofu in the past few days, most of it was taken out of the one hundred taels of silver given by others. ”

Li Dahong stirred his fingers uneasily.

Lin Daniu wouldn't tell the county master that the one hundred taels of silver were given by him, right?

The county master is so wise, as long as he goes to Quxi Village to check, he will know that his family does not have so much silver, in this case, will the account of more than 100 taels of silver lost by the liar be placed on his head?

Mao Zhixian continued to ask: "Who gave so many silver taels?" Hurry up and get it. ”

"Lord Hui, it's Lord Zhang, the steward of the dock." Lin Qian Qiandao.

Mao Zhixian frowned, and couldn't remember for a while which "Lord Zhang" in Lin Qianqian's mouth was.

Liu Xiancheng stepped forward at the right time and said: "My lord, it is Zhang Chuliu, the official who specializes in managing the wharf, his daily office is at the wharf, and he rarely returns to the yamen. ”

Mao Zhixian suddenly realized, waved his hand to let Liu Xiancheng retreat, and said loudly: "Come on, go and call Zhang Chuliu." Lin Qianqian, I hope what you said is true, otherwise the official will have to serve the board. ”

After Mao Zhixian finished speaking, he was shocked: "Temporarily withdraw from the court, and then ascend to the court after Zhang Chuliu comes." ”

After he finished speaking, he went to the back hall to drink tea, and Liu Xiancheng was busy following.

The officials standing on both sides also stepped aside, gathered together and whispered and laughed.

Leaving the watchful eyes of the county magistrate and the officials, Quxi Village, who was kneeling in the hall, dared to get up.

Lin Dashi and Lin Dashu took the lead in walking out with the lieutenant chief on the left and right, and the people from Quxi Village followed behind.

Lin Qianqian followed everyone at the end and spoke to Lin Mingming in a low voice.

Suddenly, a woman rushed out of the crowd in the courtyard, she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qianqian's collar, and said viciously: "You are the Lin Qianqian who caught the liar?" ”

Before Lin Qianqian could make any answer, the woman's hand was raised high, ready to slap Lin Qianqian.

Lin Qianqian moved quickly, grabbed the woman's hand in the blink of an eye, and said angrily: "This aunt, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to beat someone?" ”

The woman sneered, her eyes glared at her like poisonous snakes, and shouted loudly: "No injustice and no hatred? If you hadn't caught this liar, how could I have been able to hide what my daughter had been ruined about? It's all because of you, my daughter's reputation is ruined, and it's a light sentence for me to beat you. ”

Lin Qianqian was speechless to the extreme.

The woman couldn't move when one hand was grabbed by Lin Qianqian, so she raised her other hand and grabbed Lin Qianqian's hair.

Lin Qian threw her away, and the woman fell to the ground, and immediately began to cry.

"Oh, look at it, how arrogant this woman is, she dares to beat people in the county office, why is my life so bitter, I was beaten in the county office, the chief, the child's father, why are you still stunned? The money in our village has been taken away by this woman, and people eat fragrant and spicy food, but we are going to drink the northwest wind, are you willing? ．．．．”

The people in the courtyard suddenly glared angrily at Lin Qianqian.

Wang Lichang of Da'an Village has seen his prestige in the village plummet since the last time he took the villagers to Quxi Village to dig horses' hooves.

That woman is from their village, the last time she had a group fight with Quxi Village, her man was beaten and his back was full of scars, and he knew that this woman was using today's liar to make up for the last time he dug up horses' hooves.

Now is the time for him to reassert his authority.

Wang Lichang said to the chiefs of other villages: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has heard that this woman's family eats and drinks spicy food every day, and the silver we were deceived by the liar must have been taken away by her, I know the situation of several of your villages, it is not easy for everyone to get together five taels of silver, this money can not be spoiled by irrelevant people at will, we must get this money back." ”

The lieutenants of the other villages nodded their heads.

"Yes, that's all the hard-earned money we all put together, and it's not easy for everyone to make money."

"This woman's mouth is too hard, she picked up the money and didn't say she didn't pick it up, wait for the county master to find enough evidence, see how she ends?"

"It's really hateful for an unmarried girl to do such a thing, I have to go back to our village and talk to the people in the village that if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you must not marry like this, especially this girl."

"This girl used to have a bad reputation, I heard that she loves to beat people, and even her elders dare to beat her, how dare such a person marry and go home?"
