Liu Xiu couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Who would such a small village that has no quarrel with the world offend?"

At this time, the peasant woman's face became even more ugly, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Mo Xiaoxian noticed it and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you have to say?"

Although the people in the village are simple but not stupid, Mo Xiaoxian's words made the Peasant Women's Federation think of a possibility.

There are three villages around Changdang Lake, usually in addition to farming will also go to the lake to fish to make a living, half a year ago, Changdang Lake is located in Piqiao Town, a new pavilion chief, named Xue Wu, arrogant and domineering, I like to eat the osmanthus fish in Changdang Lake, and this osmanthus fish is very rare, the whole lake can play a hundred and ten a year, it is good, in order to prevent the fishermen from catching by mistake nearby, Xue Wu used the right in his hand to prohibit the fishermen from fishing in Changdang Lake, and also sent officers and soldiers to guard, the unbearable fishermen and officers and soldiers had several conflicts, several of the leading fishermen were beaten to death。

Later, this matter came to the county guard, but this Xue Wu had some nepotism with the county guard's wife, so the county guard only blamed Xue Wu for a few words, and did not delve into it, but a general named Yan You next to the county guard was very angry, regardless of the situation, ordered his subordinates to beat Xue Wu again, and sternly warned Xue Wu not to occupy Changdang Lake again, and asked him to compensate the fishermen for their losses.

Originally, this matter should have come to an end, who knows, after Xue Wu returned to Piqiao Town, not only did not repent but intensified the bullying of the fishermen around Changdang Lake, and was forced to helpless, a few fishermen wanted to find General Yan You to denounce Xue Wu, and before he left, he got a strange disease, and died violently soon after, although there were suspicions at the time, but the kind villagers did not expect that the dead few people were poisoned.

Then because they couldn't bear to continue to endure Xue Wu's bullying, the villagers of the three villages around Changdang Lake gathered together to find General Yan You to administer justice for them, so that Xue Wu could return the occupied Changdang Lake, but they got the news that General Yan You had been transferred by Wang Mang to Hubei to exterminate the Chimei rebels, in desperation, the villagers had to come to the county guard again, in the face of hundreds of angry villagers, the county guard promised to give them a satisfactory explanation, but this was the beginning of the nightmare, within a few days, the people in the village got a strange disease one after another, until the government came to say that this was a plague, which made people panic, and those who were sick waited for death at home, and those who did not get sick did not dare to go out！

After listening to the peasant woman's cry, Mo Xiaoxian and the others understood what she meant, if someone really poisoned her, this Xue Wu's suspicion was of course the greatest.

"Livestock!" Mo Xiaoxian scolded: "Xue Wu, this bastard, actually poisoned so many lives for a few osmanthus fish, it's just not as good as a beast!"

Liu Xiu also echoed: "That's true, but if General Yan You hadn't been transferred, how could he have allowed Xue Wu to behave so recklessly!"

Mo Xiaoxian agreed: "Yan You sounds quite fair and honest, Wang Mang can have this kind of general, and I don't know what kind of shit luck he has taken!"

Liu Xiudao: "General Yan You is a famous general in the world, I heard of his name when I was studying in Chang'an, he can fight well, and he is one of the few far-sighted generals in the new dynasty!"

Mo Xiaoxian was puzzled: "Why would such a famous general be willing to be driven by Wang Mang?"

Liu Xiu sighed: "I heard that it was because of General Yan You's upright character that he offended a certain powerful person in the DPRK and was framed, and on the way to the execution ground of the whole clan, fortunately Wang Mang, who was the great Sima at the time, rescued him and cleared his grievances!"

Mo Xiaoxian sighed and didn't say anything, once a person like Yan You identified Wang Mang, he would not easily rebel, even if he knew that Wang Mang was not a good master, this could also be called foolish loyalty!

After Mo Xiaoxian and the little ibis comforted the peasant woman again, they said slowly: "Sister-in-law, the top priority is to detoxify you, your children, and the villagers!

After thinking about it carefully, the peasant woman said: "Our people here are already living in poverty, and they eat whatever they want, and I can't remember what they ate to get poisoned, but the water that we drink from the three villages near us is all brought from Changdang Lake, so each village has dug a ditch for this reason. ”

Mo Xiaoxian nodded and said: "Poisoning in the water is indeed the most convenient way, please ask my sister-in-law to help me get some, I want to check to see what kind of poison it is, so as to find out how to detoxify!" The peasant woman was overjoyed and hurriedly went.

The little ibis looked at the child who was moaning on the kang and said with pity: "What a poor child, you have to suffer this kind of torture at a young age! Brother Xiaoxian, you must cure him!"

Mo Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Don't worry, little ibis, this poison is nothing at first glance, it's all left over from me, Cui Yu, and Lietu!"

Liu Xiu said: "The four officers and soldiers we met by the lake must be Xue Wu's subordinates, I said at that time that I couldn't spare them, it's good for you to send them money!"

Mo Xiaoxian denied it: "I didn't send them money, don't forget, we only have a total of eight baht copper coins, where will we give them thirty baht?"

Liu Xiuyi patted his head and said, "That's right, why did I forget this stubble, so what did you give them?"

Mo Xiaoxian said: "Why don't you say you're stupid? That's the trick used by the master, but it's actually just a few reeds!"

"Damn, then why don't you give me the eight baht copper coin?"

Mo Xiaoxian quibbled: "Because the current eight-baht copper coin was left by the master with his ability, your money is equivalent to having been given to those officers and soldiers, and the master has also paid a lot for you, of course, our two brothers have no intention of letting you pay it back, it's interesting enough!"

Liu Xiu protested: "I gave you back a leg, I didn't agree to give them money at that time, you made your own decisions!"

Mo Xiaoxian said unhappily: "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!" The young master saved you with a smile and a loss of money after giving up this old face, you don't appreciate it, don't expect me to save you next time!"

At this time, the peasant woman came in with a bowl of water, and Mo Xiaoxian took it and used the fire control trick to steam the water dry, leaving a faint layer of black powder at the bottom of the bowl, which could not be found at all without looking closely.

Mo Xiaoxian's hand shocked the peasant woman, who still didn't understand that she had met a master today, and she saw hope, and immediately knelt down and said: "The woman has no eyes, and I hope that the grace will forgive me!"

After the little ibis helped the peasant woman up, he said, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be like this, Brother Xiaoxian will definitely try his best to help you!"

The peasant woman wept with joy and nodded her head again and again.

Mo Xiaoxian sniffed the black powder at the bottom of the bowl, frowned, and said, "Is this Xue Wu really just a pavilion chief?
