In five days, Xiao Chenyu's family came to a scoundrel matter, and it spread widely.

It is said that the newcomers were forced to stop going out.

Of course, you can't be persecuted by a poor relative, but isn't there still a county master's handiwork.

Everyone's attention shifted from Xiao Juren's family affairs to the county order.

Naturally, I remembered that this new county order took away the county as soon as it came, and I knew in my heart: "Our county commander is not a good person. ”

Then, Su Lao Er was about to leave, and Xiao Chenyu personally arranged an ox cart with two baskets of unpeeled grain, piled up so sharp that everyone could see it, and a small basket containing some vegetables and fruits, a piece of bacon and a smoked chicken on it.

Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Lian personally sent them to the dock, Su Lao Er proudly watched the Xiao family's subordinates send things to the boat, and he stood by the boat to lecture Xiao Chenyu.

"When I go back to pack up and settle down, I will bring your aunt to your house to walk around, the family should be harmonious like this, the county lord also likes to see us like this, nephew and son-in-law, do you say?"

Xiao Chenyu replied yes, and his attitude was very respectful.

Waiting for the boat to leave, Su Lao Er turned around and left, and Xiao Chenyu respectfully watched Su Lao Er get on the boat.

It just so happened that a person who knew Xiao Chenyu also came to the dock to do something, so he asked if that person was a relative of their family?

Xiao Chenyu greeted with a smile and smiled, and then retorted seriously: "How can there be such a thing? When relatives come to the door, we naturally want to be hospitable! ”

"I don't believe it, I still have to be hospitable, why didn't you go out with your relatives to play in those days?" This person didn't believe that Xiao Chenyu was really that open-minded.

He is also a person who likes to chew the root of his tongue, he doesn't do business, he is short every day, like a woman with a long tongue, so he lets go of Xiao Chenyu and always wants to inquire about some news.

"Alas, the second uncle came, I was supposed to accompany him, but I didn't go to the places he went to, and the places I wanted to go to, the second uncle didn't like it, so I could only let the next person accompany me, and our family felt a little unhappy, so ah, I specially prepared a generous gift for the second uncle!"

Gift? Just that basket of vegetables, just two baskets of grain? Is it a generous gift?

This person is also a person who does not know firewood, rice, oil and salt, so naturally he does not believe it.

So, he raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "How thick a gift?" Isn't it just grain and vegetables? Although this year's harvest is not good, grain and vegetables are indeed good things, but for people like us, it is not a generous gift, right? ”

Xiao Chenyu didn't want to talk too much, so he turned around and left.

The man was unwilling, pulled Xiao Lian who came later, and asked, "Did you give that person another treasure?" ”

Xiao Lian looked at Xiao Chenyu in front of him, and didn't seem to dare to say it, and the appearance of wanting to speak made that person's heart itch even more, so he casually took out a few copper plates and stuffed them for Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he put away the copper plate, and then whispered: "The second uncle said that the family had a hard time and there was no harvest this year, and his wife didn't believe it, saying that he had silver, but our lord was soft-hearted and still gave him a little silver." ”

After speaking, hearing Xiao Chenyu call him coldly, Xiao Lian hurriedly broke away from the man's hand and ran towards Xiao Chenyu.

After leaving everyone's sight, in the carriage, Xiao Chenyu leaned crookedly against the car and asked, "You said everything?" ”

"I said, according to the instructions of the second master, when it came to the amount of silver, it was vague."

"Well, the more unclear it is, the more suspicious people will be." Xiao Chenyu smiled and stopped asking about it.

Su Lao Er soon arrived in Fushui Town, which was a little difficult at this time, because he couldn't move everything off the boat alone, if he came one by one, no one would look at the things below, and he was afraid that he would be stolen soon.

It was only at this time that Su Lao Er regretted: "This Xiao Chenyu is really, let him give me silver, he won't do it, and said that it is not safe to carry silver on the road, and said that it is an extraordinary time, and you can't buy food with silver, and food is more important than silver." ”

Su Lao Er believed it and agreed.

But he forgot to call the Xiao family to send two people to help him send his things home.

Just then, two guests from the boat approached and offered to help.

Su Lao Er looked at these two people like brothers, they looked a little similar, their faces were also relatively generous, and they were also coolies when they dressed up.

After asking a few words at random, the two said that they were brothers, and there was no harvest at home this year, so they went to the county wharf to do things, and now it is the New Year, and the work at the wharf is also light, so they decided to go back for the New Year.

Su Lao Er is not an unknowledgeable person, and after listening to the words of the two, there was no mistake or omission, so he believed it. Tell the two to be careful and send things back to their homes, and give them ten wen as a reward.

The two also followed Su Lao Er to bargain, and finally talked about the twelve texts, in Su Lao Er's disdainful eyes and a few vague poor ghost voices, the two glanced at each other and moved the things off the boat.

sent the things to Su Laoer's house, and diligently moved the things to the kitchen, and begged for a bowl of water to drink, and then left with the twelve copper plates.

After going out, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ten days later, Xiao Chenyu's family came to the errand officer, saying that the county lord had been invited.

Xiao Chenyu asked, "What is the county lord looking for me?" ”

The errand officer smiled and said quite flatteringly: "Xiao Juren, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is a case in Fushui Town, and the relative Su Lao Er who went back from your house encountered a burglary at home, and Su Lao Er was injured in the spine, but I am afraid that I will not be able to stand up in this life." ”

Xiao Chenyu was taken aback: "Why didn't our family hear the wind?" Why didn't anyone in the Su family come to report to us? ”

The messenger sighed and said, "Because, Su Lao's daughter-in-law, Huang, came to sue you Xiao Juren, saying that you deliberately made others think that their family had a lot of money and food, which provoked the bandits." ”

Xiao Chenyu suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "So, for this false accusation, the county lord wants me, a dignified person, to go to the yamen to be tried in person?" ”

"This." The servant scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, and a little ashamed: "It's not that I'm on trial, my lord said it, it's just a question, otherwise the Huang family will say that we collude and don't call the shots for them." Second Master Xiao, don't you know, she is still holding a young girl, crying and wiping her tears, so miserable! ”

Xiao Chenyu thought for a while and said, "Then you wait for a while, I'll go and talk to the family, so as not to worry them, and by the way, change into clean clothes and then go with you to see the county master." ”

The errand officer did not dare to urge, and he also knew that there were many rich people, and he must change his clothes when he went out.

Xiao Chenyu went in and told Qin Xun.

Qin Xun sneered: "The Huang family came to the county government to complain? First, she didn't have the brains to sue us, and second, she didn't have the courage to enter the yamen. ”

She frowned and thought for a moment, then continued: "With what I know about the Huang family, she must have been instigated. As for this instigator, it's either Su Lao Er"

Xiao Chenyu looked at her, and the two said in unison: "County master! ”
