Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Zhang Yue swallowed the biscuit in his hand three times, looked up at the pale sky, and urged:

"We should move on."

She couldn't wait to rescue Xiao Zhouzhou.

"Well, get up!"

Lin Xiao nodded, and they were about to go to the carriage.

Suddenly, rustling sounds came from the grass not far away, and the three of them stopped immediately, frowning and staring at the front.

Lin Xiao asked in a low voice:

"What it is?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and replied:
"I don't know, let's go back to the carriage!"

However, as soon as the words fell, there were only two 'swish', and a spear flew from the grass at an extremely fast speed, stabbing the body of the carriage in an instant.

"careful!"

Lin Xiao reacted the fastest, grabbed Zhang Yue and Bingyue, avoided the attack of the spear, and punched the owner of the spear at the same time.

I saw a man lying down in the grass.

His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to be in a coma.

The three of them were about to return to the carriage with lingering fear, when a group of men with spears suddenly appeared around the carriage and surrounded the carriage.

The leading man was wearing a black cloth dress, and his face was covered by a black veil, so he couldn't see his face clearly. The only eye exposed outside was shining with a cold light, as if he was looking at the three of them.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Lin Xiao stood at the front and asked in a calm tone.

The man glanced at Lin Xiao, then at the carriage of the three of them, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked indifferently:

"Is it the medicine you gave to our rice fields?"

"Prescribe medicine? What medicine? We just passed by!"

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked suspiciously.

"Hmph! If you dare to quibble, say it! Have you drugged our rice fields?"

The man's face changed, and he stared at the three of them viciously and questioned.

"Brother, we really didn't take any medicine, we did just pass by here..."

Zhang Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"fart!"

Hearing what Zhang Yue said, the man suddenly drank and shouted sharply:

"Don't pretend to be garlic, the smell of your carriage is here, you must have poisoned here. Tell me! What kind of medicine did you put on our rice fields!"

"We really didn't prescribe the medicine, I beg you, let us go, we have to rush to save people!"

Seeing being stopped, Zhang Yue was on the verge of crying, and looked eagerly at the leader.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful for me here! Don't tell me, right? Come, bring them to the village chief! Say that the culprit who drugged the rice fields has been caught!"

A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the leading man, and he snapped.

After hearing the order, the man on the side came out immediately, waving the spear in his hand, and prepared to kidnap Lin Xiao and the three of them.

"Don't, don't, I, I admit it, can I admit it? Even if it is the medicine we prescribed, how much should we pay?"

With that said, Zhang Yue got into the carriage, took out two ingots of gold from the wooden box, and offered them with both hands.

She just wants to quickly solve the troubles in front of her, and then go to rescue Xiao Zhouzhou, which is more important than anything else!

"Two ingots of gold, why don't you just kill yourself!"

The leading man took the gold and said sarcastically.

Obviously, Zhang Yue's move completely pissed him off.

"This this"

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, his face embarrassed, thinking that the other party thought he had given too little money, so he hurriedly said:
"Not enough, right? I'll give it to you again, as long as you let us go!"

The leading man drinks coldly:
"Who do you think we are? We peasants don't care for your dirty money! Tie me up!"

"yes, Sir!"

……

Except for Xiao Cai who was hiding in the dark, the three of Lin Xiao were tied up by these men, tightly bound, and escorted all the way to the village chief's house.

"what's the situation?"

When the village chief saw this situation, he looked blank and asked the man behind him.

The man pointed to Lin Xiao and the three of them, and said:
"Village Chief, the person who administered the drug has been caught!"

Hearing this, the village chief turned his eyes around the people, and looked at Lin Xiao and the others who were tied aside.

His eyes fell on Lin Xiao.

"I see that the three of you are not simple in your clothes, why did you do such a dirty thing?!"

The village chief frowned and asked seriously.

Just as Zhang Yue was about to speak, Lin Xiao secretly pinched her and motioned her to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue also understood Lin Xiao's intentions, so she could only endure the dissatisfaction and anxiety in her heart.

Lin Xiao was tied up, but still bowed slightly, and respectfully said to the village chief:
"Village chief, let's not talk about whether we have been wronged, but just say that your agricultural registration can tie up your official status. I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Although Lin Xiao's tone was calm, there was a hint of anger.

The village chief was startled when he saw this, and then he laughed:
"The Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people! You have repeatedly poisoned our rice fields, and we will naturally bring you to justice!"

"It's a good sentence that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are the same crime! I don't know the village chief, do you know how serious the crime of false accusation is?"

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the crime of false accusation was equivalent to murder and arson, and more importantly, he would be beheaded!

"False accusation? Are you trying to deny it?"

When the village chief heard the words, his expression was startled, and he immediately reprimanded him sharply.

"We haven't done it, why should we deny it?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

The village chief snorted coldly and turned to look at the man.

When the man saw the village chief's gaze, he immediately understood, took out two ingots of gold from his pocket, and confronted Lin Xiao:

"These two ingots of gold were given to me just now to deceive others, right?"

"It's not to cover up people's eyes and ears, but to calm things down!"

Lin Xiao said coldly:
"We rushed to save people, but we were arrested by you for no reason when we passed by. In order not to affect the rescue, we have to do this as a last resort!"

"It's a last resort!"

The village chief sneered contemptuously when he heard the words:

"Do the three of you think that we are easy to bully, don't you? You are playing tricks on our territory, and you dare to reason with us!"

Having said that, the village chief said sharply:

"Come here, the village rules will serve you!"

Following the roar of the village chief, a group of men stepped forward, including a dozen of them, all carrying iron bars, staring at Lin Xiao and the others, ready to strike at any time.

"and many more!"

Seeing that they were about to get serious, Lin Xiao hurriedly yelled to stop.

"What? Is there any last words to explain?"

The village chief snorted coldly and threatened.

"Village Chief, don't get angry, can you tell me what happened to your rice field?"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked lightly.

"Can you not understand the medicine you gave yourself?"

The man sneered and asked back.

"First of all, let me reiterate that we did not poison!"
