Chapter 045: Favoritism
Lu Jin and his entourage came on horseback, and when they arrived outside the door, there was already an official messenger to bring the horses.
Just as he was about to turn over and get on the horse, he suddenly heard a woman behind him shouting in her voice: "Lin Xiaoman's family sells illicit salt, does the county order take care of it?" ”
Lu Jin paused to get on the horse, and looked sharply in the direction where the sound came from, but there were several villagers from Hedong Village gathered there, and he couldn't tell who shouted it for a while.
But someone said in public that someone was selling illicit salt, and as the county magistrate of Qingping County, he couldn't ignore it.
After whispering a few words to the Qingshu beside him, he walked in the direction where the voice came from.
The villagers of Hedong Village also hated the person who shouted this voice at this time, but this person just shouted with his throat in his voice, and he really couldn't tell who shouted.
The county magistrate is here, and they don't know if Lin Xiaoman's exchange of salt for mushrooms before is considered to be selling illicit salt, at this time, if he goes to beat up the person who shouts, will he be regarded as selling illicit salt with Lin Xiaoman's gang?
At this time, seeing the county commander coming to this side, they all sweated for Lin Xiaoman.
Even Lin Xiaoman, who had just sent people into the courtyard, was also numb in his back. As for who this person was, she had some guesses in her heart. Aunt Wang once told her that she wanted to buy salt from her, and then she wanted to come to her house to cook hot pot ingredients, but she held a grudge after she refused.
In fact, if you guess who this person is early in the morning, even if you hold your throat, you can hear a thing or two.
She just didn't expect Aunt Wang to be so mad, but she didn't give her the opportunity to make money, so she wanted to make her go to prison?
Selling illicit salt will result in jail at least, or a loss of head!
Coming out of the courtyard, Lin Xiaoman saw that Lu Jin had walked in front of the villagers, staring at the grass not far away, and was just about to go over to defend one or two, but was stopped by Qingshu, who asked in a low voice: "Little shopkeeper, that person falsely accused you, how should you deal with it?" ”
Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows when he heard this, did this give her a reassuring pill first?
So he smiled: "The salt was bought by my father and mother before to open a store, not much, only about one stone." Later, my father and mother died, and I couldn't finish the salt there, and my sister and brother didn't dare to take it out and sell it. Just separated from the family, and the family was really difficult, so I thought about exchanging salt for some mushrooms to sell outside for money. Is this also the sale of illicit salt? ”
"There is a place for salt, and there is no money exchange, since it is not a sale of illegal salt, the little shopkeeper remembers what he said to me, and he will just tell the truth."
Qingshu accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'according to the truth', Lin Xiaoman nodded in understanding, thanked Qingshu, and just waited for Lu Jin to summon him.
Lu Jin was slender, standing in front of the villagers, half a head taller than others, at this time, his eyes looked through the top of the villagers' heads, straight behind the grass not far away, and then stretched out his hand, "Take it!" ”
Several officials rushed towards the bushes like wolves, and in a short time two panicked women were pulled out from behind the bushes.
When everyone saw it, it was Lin Dashan's daughter-in-law Aunt Wang, and there was also Mrs. Qi, who was annoying.
Lin Daqiang pointed his finger at them angrily, "You guys...... You're so good. ”
Qi Pozi was already trembling with fright at this time, "No...... It's none of my business, it was Dashan's daughter-in-law who shouted, I just came to see the excitement with her, I don't know why she shouted like that. ”
Aunt Wang glared at her, she didn't expect her to be so unrighteous, and she confessed herself before the county order began to ask?
But there is no room for denial, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and raised his head, "Patriarch, Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother have the ability to help the clan make money, but their sister and brother are selling illegal salt, this is a violation of the law, you can no longer favor him, making people think that our village is all illegal salt dealers." ”
"Why am I partial to them? They just exchange some leftover salt at home for some mushrooms, where is the sale of illicit salt? You usually have a short family in the east and west of the village, and it doesn't matter if you steal chickens and dogs, everyone doesn't care about you in a village, and you start to spread rumors and slander? I'll ask the clan elder to come forward and let Lin Dashan leave you! ”
"Patriarch, I'm not wrong, Lin Xiaoman is selling illicit salt, that salt is different from what is sold in the city, I have lived for more than 30 years and have never seen such white official salt, what is it that is not homemade private salt?"
Aunt Wang also regretted being dazzled by anger in her heart, so she came up with this trick to frame Lin Xiaoman.
originally thought that the new county order would take office and send the opportunity to the door, and he would definitely take Lin Xiaoman Liwei, but how could he think that this little county order would not play cards according to common sense, and he would find out her, a meritorious person, didn't he fall in love with Lin Xiaoman's little goblin?
Lin Xiaoman also walked over at this time, "Aunt Wang, my salt is the official salt that my father and mother originally planned to buy to open a store, and the salt shop has a record." Later, my father and mother were gone, I couldn't eat all the salt, and I didn't get much to eat when I split the family, so I took it out and exchanged it for mushrooms with the villagers. The salt is white because I have refined it again, and the dishes made without impurities will not be bitter. You can't falsely accuse me of selling illicit salt just because I didn't promise to give it to you to sell, right? This selling illicit salt is a felony, and if you move your mouth, you will ruin my whole life? No one with a little conscience can do such a thing. ”
The Lin clan began to point fingers at Aunt Wang, "Yes, Xiaoman doesn't sell salt, but there is a lot of salt at home, so exchange some mushrooms with us, why are you so black-hearted to frame people and children?" ”
"Hehe, didn't Xiaoman say it, she wanted Xiaoman to sell the salt to her, and she took it out to sell it again, in fact, she wanted to sell illicit salt, Xiaoman didn't agree, so she held a grudge."
"This poisonous woman, Dashan and Jin Hu are not satisfied with the money they earn while working outside, and they know every day that they are not enough to show off her broken mouth, and the amount of money they earn is not enough. I also heard the formula yesterday that when the four of them came back to the car, they forced Xiaoman to give them the secret recipe for stir-frying, Xiaoman was unwilling, and what they said was ugly, and then they still couldn't listen to the style and drove them out of the car. There is also a Qi mother-in-law, and these women are not good things. ”
"Hey, Lin Xingzu didn't offend you, and he didn't frame Xiaoman, don't drag me in, I still have to be a man." Aunt Erhua in the crowd was not happy, and at this time, she couldn't care about the plastic sisterhood, so she jumped out and chose herself out first.
"Did I mention your name? What is your weak heart? Do you know what this is? Don't admit yourself! Maybe today's daughter-in-law framed Xiaoman, and you have a share! ”
"Hey, don't spray, I didn't do that immoral thing. Everyone, what does this matter have to do with me? ”
Everyone was shocked by their shamelessness, and when they heard her let them judge, none of them turned to her.
"Huh? Xiaoman's secret recipe for stir-frying is to make money for our clan, and they even want to stir up the business of the clan? Maybe their mother's family got the trust and made them do this. ”
"I saw Lin Chengye's kid and Dashan daughter-in-law muttering by the river, I thought that they had a leg, and this matter is not easy to manage, so I didn't talk much, maybe Lin Chengye didn't get the secret recipe from Xiaoman, so he conspired with her."
When Lin Xiaoman heard this, he remembered Lin Chengye again in his heart.
