The family had neat hands and feet, wrapped the gold nuggets with their baggage, carried them to a corner of the house, and took the long sword in the house, but in a moment, they split the big gold nuggets into small nuggets.

At this time, Yan Xiang had already read the report brought by the official.

Yan Xiang was surprised by this and asked the official, "You can check it on the spot." ”

The official said: "The matter is very important, involving the reconstruction of Linzi Township, and the lower officials have sent people to the site to investigate." But this gold is indeed real gold, and if it were not for this, the township would not have been able to take out this amount of gold. ”

At this time, the family came to Yan Xiang with his baggage, and opened it again, revealing the small gold nugget inside.

This time he saw it more realistically, Yan Xiang picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and bit it, and said: "Since the village chief brought these yellow objects to you to report the matter, this matter should be true." ”

The official said: "The lower official also thinks so, so he is in a hurry to repay the adult, what does the adult think?"

Yan Xiang said: "The jellyfish appears strangely, and the good luck is uncertain, so I will go to Linzi Township with you and check it on the spot." ”

The official said: "It's almost time to apply, so you might as well go tomorrow morning." ”

Yan Xiang said: "I also want to rest, but if this jellyfish is vicious and spreads evil water, won't Linzi City suffer from unprovoked flooding." After speaking, he instructed his family to quickly prepare the car and order the troops and go to Linzi Township.

Yan Xiang took the chief official of Linzi Mall to Linzi Township, and when he saw an extra waterway, flowing to the Zihe River, Yan Xiang no longer doubted.

Yan Xiang and his entourage came to Linzi Township more than an hour later.

Many houses in this township have been washed away, but the river channel has been set and is only about two meters wide. Both sides of the river are still covered with sludge. On both sides of the river, only a few intact courtyard houses remain in the distance.

Xiangguo traveled to inspect, and the pomp was not small, which alarmed the township.

It was summer now, and although the villagers had destroyed their houses, they had all picked up a lot of gold and silver, and except for Jilong's mother-in-law, none of them were worried.

Ji Long's mother-in-law thought that the gold and silver were all from her own family, but they were picked up by the villagers, and she was very unwilling.

Yan Xiang opened the curtain of the car, took a look, and asked the family to take him to the nearest courtyard.

When he arrived at the place, Yan Xiang got out of the carriage and came to the courtyard.

At this time, the village chief also got the information and hurried towards here, followed by a group of villagers, including Jilong's mother-in-law.

Seeing that the villagers were complete, Yan Xiang instructed the family members to prepare tables and stools in the courtyard, light the lamps, and hold a trial on the spot.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Yan Xiang used some simple food.

The chief official of the Linzi Mall Government found a pen and a linen cloth and prepared to record the hall motto.

The family members have long swords at their waists and crotches, and they are arranged in the courtyard to maintain the order of the hall.

The villagers were in a mess, and they all wanted to report to Yan Xiang about yesterday's strange events.

When the villagers saw Yan Xiang sitting behind the table and about to open the hall, they all looked for a place to stay, standing outside the courtyard, watching while waiting for the summons.

Yan Xiang looked at the situation in the courtyard and said, "Open the hall." ”

All the family members shouted in unison: "Wei ......"

The villagers suddenly fell silent.

Yan Xiang said: "The head of the village stepped forward to listen to the training. ”

The head of this village walked a few steps, came to Yan Xiang's table, and arched his hand and said: "Su Ti, the head of Linzi Village, has met Lord Xiangguo. ”

Yan Xiang said: "Here is a record of yours, which says that the jellyfish came here yesterday and appeared to give alms, but is it true?"

Suti said: "This matter is true, and the villagers present can prove it. ”

Yan Xiang said: "Since it is a jellyfish manifestation, when a temple is set up, can you remember the appearance of a jellyfish." ”

Su Ti said: "There are three jellyfish, the little one only remembers the appearance of the little girl Jilong, and the other two are acquaintances, but they can't remember what they look like." ”

Yan Xiang said: "According to your record, Ji Long has lived in the village for many years, has she ever behaved abnormally?"

Su Ti said: "Jilong is very filial, at the behest of his in-laws, he never complains, and he is also very helpful to the villagers, and he has never had abnormal behavior." ”

Yan Xiang said: "How did she come here, you can tell the official in detail." ”

Su Ti said: "The adult asks, although the small one can reply, it must be unknown." Now that Ji Long's in-laws are here, adults might as well pass her on for questioning. ”

Yan Xiang said: "Spread Jilong's in-laws to listen to the training." ”

Ji Long's in-laws were not angry that the villagers had taken their own gold and silver, and they had long wanted to complain to Yan Xiang, so they had been standing at the front of the courtyard, waiting for the opportunity. Now hearing that Yan Xiang was going to ask, Ji Long's in-laws walked quickly to Yan Xiang's table, knelt down with "Puff", and shouted: "Adults want to be the masters of the small people." ”

Yan Xiang frowned and said, "What do you want this official to do?"

The mother-in-law said: "My daughter-in-law, who was born as a jellyfish, was rich and wealthy, and gave me a mountain of gold and silver, but now it has been robbed by the villagers. ”

Yan Xiang said: "How can the jellyfish succumb to your house, even the demon maybe, leaving these gold and silver to confuse your mind." The official is here to determine whether this water eye that appeared in vain is auspicious or evil. Don't be greedy for money, bring disaster to the villagers. ”

The mother-in-law said: "My daughter-in-law is obedient and well-behaved, and she will never be a demon, if it weren't for her family to look for her, how could I let her leave like this." ”

Yan Xiang said: "You can tell me in detail when Jilong came to your house, what he did, and how he was found by his family and left here." ”

The mother-in-law said: "My daughter-in-law came to my house many years ago and said that she would be my daughter-in-law and raise more children and grandchildren for my family. I saw that she was strange and that she was a monster, so I asked her why she did it. My daughter-in-law here said that she was just trying to repay her debts and had no other intentions. When I saw that she was young, I took her in, but I was constantly training and checking her behavior. For many years, my daughter-in-law has been scolding and not fighting back, and she is willing to help the villagers, so I gradually put my mind at ease, only thinking about how old she will be, so I will marry my son and have sex with me, and inherit the family lineage for my family. ”

Yan Xiang said: "Wait, you said that your daughter-in-law came to your house many years ago, do you remember how old she was at that time?"

The mother-in-law said, "I remember, I was only five years old at the time." ”

Yan Xiang said: "I can come here to find you at the age of five, but my parents sent me?"

The mother-in-law said: "There is no one to send it, but this girl is the only one." ”

Yan Xiang said: "This matter is too strange, how could a five-year-old girl do this, aren't you deceiving the official?"

The mother-in-law said: "The adults are clear, and the little ones are not lying." ”

Yan said to the chief official of Linzi Mall: "Mark it here." After speaking, he said to his mother-in-law, "You go on." ”

The mother-in-law rolled her eyes and said, "I have strict requirements for my daughter-in-law, that is, to test her character, and indeed she is a good woman." Now I like my daughter-in-law here very much, but unfortunately she was taken away by her family, and the gold and silver left to me by her family were also robbed by the villagers, and I am so miserable. "When he said that, he was going to cry in front of the court.
