Chapter 055: A duplicitous man
Early the next morning, Lu Jin personally led people to send the exiled prisoners.
Lin Xiaoman originally thought that there would be dozens of people, but when Lin Daqiang asked someone to call her over, there were more than 300 people, standing in a daze.
Lin Xiaoman was dumbfounded, she only had dozens of acres of land, how could she use so many people?
Is this here to work? Or are you here to raise your uncle?
What's more, there are only more than 300 people in the Lin clan in Hedong Village, and there will be 400 people counting more than a dozen people with outdoor surnames.
Also, where are so many exiled prisoners going to be housed? You can't all go to the wasteland she bought, can you? So what else does she plant?
Lin Daqiang also had a headache, and complained in his heart that Lu Jin was not a man, he had known that there were so many exiled prisoners, and he would never agree to let him come to Hedong Village for resettlement.
But the county magistrate stood there with a cold face and listened to the official mission to settle those people, and he didn't dare to step forward.
Quietly pulled Lin Xiaoman aside, "Xiaoman, what can you do here?" Can you talk to the prefectural order and return the people? ”
Lin Xiaoman was also embarrassed, you must know that Lu Jin was a person who came to open up the wasteland for her, leaving people behind, what really happened in the future, she had to be scolded by the whole village.
"Uncle Daqiang, I'll go and talk to the county order, I don't dare to guarantee it if it doesn't succeed."
"Okay, you go and tell me, God, I heard that they are all a family, what kind of crime must they have committed to be exiled?"
Lin Xiaoman also had a headache and walked towards Lu Jin.
Lu Jin was watching his subordinates reprimand those exiles, including his teacher and his childhood friends, but now they were all prisoners.
When Lin Xiaoman came over, he heard Lu Jin sigh lightly and said to himself: "Stubborn old man, why bother? ”
Lin Xiaoman followed his gaze and saw a man with gray hair and a mess, but still standing as tall as a green pine and green bamboo, if he didn't look at his gray hair, he would look like he was in his forties.
The man's gaze met Lu Jin's gaze and then hurriedly turned away, as if he didn't want people to find out that he and Lu Jin knew each other.
Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming, Lu Jin beckoned to her, "Little shopkeeper, come forward." ”
Lin Xiaoman was about to discuss the placement of these prisoners with him, so he stepped forward happily, "I have seen the county commander." ”
Lu Jin nodded, pointed to the man he was looking at just now and asked Lin Xiaoman, "Did you see that old man with a rotten linen coat and a beard that was not as good as a beggar on the street?" ”
The corners of Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched, did he describe people like that? Obviously, the meaning of the words is that I care about that person, so why should I be mean?
"See, do you want me to take care of him?"
"How is that possible? It was a felony issued by the imperial court. Lu Jin stared incredulously, as if he was questioning Lin Xiaoman, did he want to harm him?
"What do you mean by ......"
Lin Xiaoman was not sure, he even deceived people into placing people in Hedong Village, and also included food and clothing, didn't he want her to take care of her, but wanted her to change her tricks and embarrass her?
But looking at the arrogant appearance of the man, he doesn't look like a big traitor, she can't do that kind of thing.
When Lu Jin looked at the man, he gritted his teeth, and even hated iron and steel, "This old man has no wife and no children, but he lived a chic life when he was young, I don't want him to be comfortable when he is old, you help me see if there are any powerful women in the village, it is best to be unmarried when you were young, the more vulgar the better, I will be a matchmaker for him." ”
Lin Xiaoman's mind quickly flashed through the eligible women in the village, there are really two, one is Lin Daqiang's fourth sister Lin Dajiao, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old this year, and she was married when she was young, but on the eve of marriage, the man ran away with his cousin, and Lin Dajiao went down in anger and smashed the man's house.
There was a bad breath, but the reputation also spread, and then no one dared to come to the house to be a matchmaker, Lin Dajiao didn't care, and later separated from her mother's house, built a room by herself, went up the mountain and down the field, fished in the river, and could handle everything.
When the earthquake last year, Lin Dajiao's house was not seriously damaged, so she did not move to the east of the village, and she was one of the few neighbors of Lin Xiaoman's family.
Lin Xiaoman has the impression that Lin Dajiao is very hot, very spicy, and with the support of his father and brother who are the patriarchs, no one in the village dares to mess with her, but when she mentions her relatives, the second grandmother has to sigh for a long time, but she is very cool.
There is also a girl with a foreign surname, named Qi Shuixian, who is the niece of Qi Pozi.
Before getting married, she had a serious illness, and she procrastinated to recover from the illness, not only did her family lose her money, but she also stumbled to her twenties, and then she came to the door to propose marriage, either an old widower who took care of her family, or a widow who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law.
A few years ago, her father and mother passed away, and the family property was divided among her uncles and brothers, so she could only come to Mrs. Qi, who left her at home to support herself.
Mrs. Qi is now arrested by Lu Jin and taken to prison, and Qi Narcissus lives alone in Mrs. Qi's house.
Qi Shuixian Lin Xiaoman didn't have much contact, but every time they met, they found that she didn't look at people with the right eyes, she was always sneaky, and she was like Qi Pozi for seven or eight points.
Lin Xiaoman told Lu Jin about the situation of these two people, just looking at how Lu Jin chooses, you can see his attitude towards that man.
After Lu Jin heard this, he denied Qi Shuixian without thinking about it, "Her aunt's character is not good, if she is like her aunt, she will not be a good person!" ”
When he talked about Lin Dajiao, there was a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth, "You said that your aunt lives by herself now?" The old man and her family affair are really done, is the old man considered a son-in-law? ”
Lin Xiaoman was speechless, and he couldn't say whether this person was bad or naughty.
Obviously, Lu Jin didn't want to hear the promise from Lin Xiaoman, so he said to himself: "Go back and find a chance to meet your aunt, in case your second grandfather's family still doesn't look down on this old man." ”
Lin Xiaoman sighed twice in his heart: Sure enough, this is a duplicitous man!
After talking about the man's family affairs, Lin Xiaoman asked straight to the point: "My lord, I don't need so many people to open up the wasteland in the field, how can you send these people to settle them?" Otherwise, you can bring some back and leave me a few dozen. ”
Lu Jin waved his hand, "People have brought it, how can there be any reason to bring it back?" I see that there are a lot of uncollapsed houses near your house, and people can always live in them if they are repaired. When I go back, I'll find some craftsmen in the county town, and except for the people you brought to open up the wasteland, the rest of the people will let them do it themselves. ”
Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, and he had already thought about how to place it before he sent people here?
"......"
"The little shopkeeper doesn't have to refuse, in the future, these people will stay in the village to listen to the dispatch of the little shopkeeper, if someone is not satisfied, the little shopkeeper just let people teach a lesson!"
After thinking about it, he added in a low voice: "They have all been exiled, who else do you want to show your temperament?" ”
