Chapter 96
"Old Lin, calm down. Do you know where those people went? There are thousands of people in Zhangjia Village, so why didn't they defend themselves? Is it because there are too many mobs here, or is there an insider in Zhangjia Village?" Ghost. If such a big thing happened, as long as there is one family calling for help, the whole village can't do nothing! Our two villages are so close, why didn't we see people from Zhangjia Village come to report last night?" Zhang Ying Also a look of anger.

Lin Qiaoqiao carefully recalled the situation last night, and heard the roar of firecrackers throughout the night.On New Year's Eve, this sound is not strange.

In an instant.

Lin Qiaoqiao's eyes widened a little. She has always looked at the development of the rules of things from the perspective of modern people.Firecrackers are very common in the eyes of modern people, and it is not uncommon for them to go off throughout the night on New Year's Eve.

But what about ancient times?

Firecrackers are controlled by the imperial court, and the price of firecrackers is not cheap.A very small set of firecrackers, less than half a meter long when taken apart, costs more than 300 Wen.

There are very few villagers who will go to set off firecrackers in front of the grave during the Qingming Festival.Mostly buy some paper money, at most make a wreath.Everyone knows how to do it. Go to the mountain to cut a bamboo, use rags or simply tie a few wild flowers, and it will be a wreath.As for the paper-tied flowers, it was the family of the rich and noble, who dared to be so extravagant and wasteful.

Unfortunately, the firecrackers rang from time to time last night.

"The ghost, there is the ghost." Lin Qiaoqiao said.

Lin Sanfu also thought of it at this time, with a face full of anger, he threw away the sword, "I'll go to the county magistrate to discuss this matter."

Lin Qiaoqiao said: "I'll take Lao Gao to Zhangjia Village, and I can't let that ghost slip away."

"En. Be careful." Lin Sanfu nodded.

Xiao Ran chased after him, "Disciple will accompany Master for a walk."

Just as Lin Sanfu was about to refuse, Lin Qiaoqiao had already walked over and bowed to Xiao Ran. "Senior Brother Xiao, please!"

"Junior sister, pay attention to safety. Bring more people there, don't act rashly, and wait for Master and I to return." Xiao Ran warned.It's just that it's still in that faint tone, it's hard for people to tell that it's caring for people!
Lin Qiaoqiao ordered some servants to follow, and Luo Shi also followed.After Li Zheng explained a few words to the patriarch, he ordered a few villagers, and then he and the Lin family went to Zhangjia Village to say hello and express the village's concern for the neighboring villages.Something happened in Zhangjiacun, and the master is investigating the case with a few yamen servants.As soon as Lin Qiaoqiao entered Zhangjia Village, she could hear the howling of the villagers.

"Those who kill a thousand knives will not let go of even the little piggies that my mother only catches."

"You bastard, you emptied all the food in my house. What will our family eat. Huh~"

"God bless you for catching these bastards. The county magistrate must definitely drag those bastards to Caishikou and ask for beheading."

The cries were endless, and along the way, the tragedy at the scene was even more serious than imagined.In many villagers' homes, the courtyard door was broken, and the door was kicked to the ground.The villagers were not in the mood to repair the door of the monastery, nor did they try to help the door of the house that had fallen to the ground.Pig pens and chicken coops were severely damaged.

"Didn't you resist at all?" Lin Qiaoqiao frowned and expressed her doubts.

"Most of the villagers are woken up by someone in the morning. There is an old custom in Zhangjia Village. On New Year's Eve, they will gather together to sing and dance. I guess someone may have put sweat medicine in the drink. It must be among the refugees. The rebels have been plotting against Zhangjiacun for a long time," Gao Wenyi said.

"What does the master say?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked.

Gao Wenyi said: "Master thinks the same way, he is reading the statements of the villagers."

Lin Qiaoqiao said: "No. Although Zhangjia Village is famous for its wine making, compared with the wine sold in Shijia's restaurant, this wine is not worthy of carrying Shijia's shoes.

However, people from all over the world will come to Zhangjia Village to drink wine during festivals.Because the selling price is cheaper than the county seat, and the amount given is also large.It is impossible to make a lot of money, but there must be small money.Therefore, Zhangjia Village is not considered rich.If you say which village is the richest in these ten miles and eight towns, it must be Jinjia Village.

Brother Jin's ancestors were from the Jin family village.The whole village is either digging stones or looking for gems.Girls from all over the world are racking their brains to get married.If these people had inquired about the news long ago, they would definitely not have come to patronize Zhangjiacun.Obviously, Jinjiacun is so rich that there is no reason to abandon Jinjiacun and come to target Zhangjiacun.

In this case, this group of people must have improvised.It may have been in the last day or two that this decision was made.And I concluded earlier that there is an inner ghost in Zhangjia Village.Lao Gao, go and remind the master, and ask the master to focus on investigating the local ruffians and bums in Zhangjia Village.Ask the patriarch of Zhangjia Village again, who has the whole village targeted recently? "

Gao Wenyi nodded, "Master, pay attention to your own safety, I will return as soon as I go."

Mrs. Chunhua ran over, "Girl, old lady, please come over."

Lin Qiaoqiao followed Mrs. Chunhua to the courtyard of a victim's family.I saw the girl's mother's moist eyes full of hope and joy.At this time, she was pulling the crying girl to kneel in front of Luo Shi and kowtow.

"Thank you, old lady, you are really a great benefactor to our family." Mother Zhang kowtowed as she said.

The girl's father was also on the sidelines, wiping away tears.

"Grandma!" Lin Qiaoqiao called out kindly.

Luo Shi got up and took Lin Qiaoqiao's hand, and introduced her. "Qiaoqiao, this girl is pretty, I have decided to take her back to be my granddaughter-in-law." Luo Shi said.

Men in this era basically have a virgin complex!Who is this girl taking back?For Da Lang, Lin Qiaoqiao didn't think that Da Lang would look up to him.The corner of Lin Qiaoqiao's mouth twitched, and finally changed the words that came to her lips, "As long as grandma is happy."

"Auntie, don't blame me for speaking badly. There are barefoot doctors or midwives in your village. You can ask them for a bowl of Bizi soup." Lin Qiaoqiao kindly reminded.It's bad enough to be ruined by someone, but if she gets pregnant again after this, that's the worst thing.However, it seems that the ancient Bizi soup is also quite expensive.

Zhang's mother was very embarrassed when she was asked, and explained: "The little girl may not know that this Bizi soup is only prescribed by regular doctors who are in the medical clinic, and it is expensive."

The girl's ashamed pale face blushed, and she wept again.Mrs. Chunhua quickly took out the broken silver from her bosom and handed it to Mother Zhang. "Our old lady gave it to Mrs. Zhang. I'd better buy Bizi Tang earlier and give it to Miss Zhang. I won't suffer a serious crime in the future."

Luo Shi glanced at Mrs. Chunhua very satisfied. The little old lady now trusts Mrs. Chunhua more and more.The other woman didn't even take her with her when she went out today.Luo Shi touched the big gold bracelet on his wrist, and was reluctant to take it off after touching it a few times, so he cast his eyes on Lin Qiaoqiao.

Lin Qiaoqiao pretended not to see it.You insist on dragging Ms. Zhang to be your grandson-in-law, and the Dafang family makes a fuss when you go back to the village, but you can always bear it.
