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

Lin Xiao stopped when she heard the sound, and turned around to see an acquaintance, she showed a comfortable smile:

"I've seen Master Luo!"

Luo Ping smiled and cupped his hands:
"I don't know why Mr. Lin came to the Jiuzhou Bieyuan. Is he here to see Miss Jiu... Yuyan, or to see the general?"

Lin Xiao looked at Luo Ping and said with a smile:
"Yu Yan, I want to see her!"

"No problem, you come with me."

Luo Ping smiled heartily and led the way ahead.

Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin followed closely behind, and soon came to the door of the room where Li Yuyan lived.

There were two soldiers waiting outside the room. When they saw Luo Ping approaching, they hurriedly bowed and said:

"I've seen Master Luo!"

Luo Ping waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to be too polite:

"You go in and report, and say that Mr. Lin from Lin Family Village has arrived."

The two soldiers responded respectfully:
"Yes, I obey!"

When Li Yuyan learned that Lin Xiao was coming, she quickly got up and came out to greet her.

"Ah Xiao, you..."

Li Yuyan caught a glimpse of Yu Xilin who was following Lin Xiao, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly changed his words:
"Master, why are you here?"

"I miss you!"

Lin Xiao said half-jokingly.

Li Yuyan's heart warmed up, and his cheeks instantly turned a little red. He didn't dare to look at Lin Xiao again, and quickly turned his gaze to the guard behind Lin Xiao:

"Go and make some good tea."

"Yes!"

The guard nodded and stepped back.

"You came to the other courtyard to look for me to improve their status, right? Don't worry, I have already done everything here. Now they have officially become villagers of Linjia Village, but they don't have land."

Li Yuyan explained with a smile.

Lin Xiao nodded, gave Li Yuyan a thumbs up and said:
"You are amazing. You turned them from bandits to villagers in just one day."

"Your complexion is not very good, what happened?"

Li Yuyan didn't answer Lin Xiao's words, but saw that her face was not as rosy as usual, and asked with concern.

"Aunt Wu was killed by Da Lin, and Aunt Widow took the blame for Da Lin and committed suicide in fear of the crime."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiao's whole body seemed to have been exhausted, and he sat slumped on the chair, staring blankly at the teacup in front of her.

"Ah?" Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Li Yuyan opened his mouth in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "How is this possible?!"

It's not that he didn't believe that Lin Dahui would kill people, but he didn't believe that Aunt Wu would die unexpectedly!

Yu Xilin, who was already inexplicably hostile to Li Yuyan, was very upset when he heard what Li Yuyan said. He sneered and said:

"How is it impossible? For money, Lin Da can team up with bandits to kidnap and blackmail people in the same village. What else can't he do?!"

When Lin Xiao heard Yu Xilin's words, she nodded immediately, expressing her deep agreement with Yu Xilin's words.

Yu Xilin, who was recognized by Lin Xiao, showed a proud expression on his face. He looked up at Li Yuyan, who didn't know how to refute, and said:

"If you still don't believe me, you can investigate and see if I'm lying!"

Li Yuyan looked at Yu Xilin's arrogant and domineering appearance, and his heart was filled with disgust, but because of Lin Xiao's face, he could only hold back the anger in his heart and asked:
"What did the village chief say?"

"What else can I say, one life for one life, this matter is over, besides, we have no direct evidence to prove that Aunt Wu was killed by Lin Da."

Lin Xiao sighed helplessly, she was very disdainful of the actions of the village chief and Xi Ni.

In her concept, who is the murderer must be found out, and the real murderer must not be allowed to go unpunished just because someone came out to take the blame.

Furthermore, if the real murderer is not brought to justice, it will always be a hidden danger!

"Aren't there any witnesses or evidence?"

Li Yuyan asked unwillingly.

"There is a witness, Han Xier, who said she saw that Lin Da did it..."

Having said that, Lin Xiao exclaimed as if thinking of something:

"No! This matter is really problematic!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's exclamation, Li Yuyan and Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously at the same time: "What's the problem?"

"Why is Han Xi'er so sure that the murderer she saw is Lin Da?"

Lin Xiao then reasoned:
"If it's really Lin Da, why didn't she go out and ask for help immediately? Or tell the village chief and let the village chief round up the whole village?"

"You mean, Han Xier is telling lies? She wronged Lin Da?"

Li Yuyan exclaimed.

"I don't know that."

Lin Xiao paused, and continued:
"Another point is that Aunt Wu's body was found in my old house. You know my old house, Yuyan. Few people pass by there. Even if they have to go, they will take a detour. Then Why did brother Xiao Wu's mother-in-law take Lan Lian to look for Aunt Wu over there?"

"what do you mean?!"

Li Yuyan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Probably not? Why did Xiao Wu's mother-in-law kill Aunt Wu? That's her mother-in-law, it's a big treason! Once found out, it will be cut into pieces!"

While analyzing, Yu Xilin shook her head in disbelief.

"I don't know." Lin Xiao smiled wryly, "Anyway, I always feel that this matter is weird, but I can't tell what is so strange."

"How could the widow apologize with death?"

According to Li Yuyan's knowledge from the village women, the widowed aunt is extremely greedy for money, even if she dies, she must die for something worthwhile.

"I don't know about that either. She suddenly jumped out of the crowd and pleaded guilty."

Lin Xiao still felt weird when recalling what happened last night.

"So Aunt Widow wasn't there at all at the time, but came here from somewhere else to plead guilty?"

Hearing Li Yuyan's reminder, Lin Xiaomeng patted himself on the forehead:

"Someone specially tipped the widow to tell her to come and take the blame for her son!"

Who would do this?
The three fell into silence.

After a while, Lin Xiao said:

"It's getting late, we still have to buy ingredients and iron pots, it's time to go."

"You came all the way here just to ask me about the progress of my work?"

Li Yuyan couldn't help but asked with a smile.

Lin Xiao scratched his head in embarrassment, and said:
"Not all of them. Didn't I hear from the village chief that there was a lot of money for them to whitewash their identities? I'm afraid you don't have enough money here, so I brought you money here."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao took out a 50 taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Li Yuyan.

Li Yuyan smiled and pushed the money back:
"How is Gao Jin's progress? Do you need me to arrange manpower here?"

"Yo yo, as expected of... Well, the nobleness is self-evident, don't worry, Gao Jin has enough manpower, if you really want to help, then please send some people to repair the mountain road, so that it can be transported in the future Also convenient."

Lin Xiao joked with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will do it if you don't arrange it!"

Li Yuyan also joked.

Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing. Looking at the two people who were smiling happily, Yu Xilin cursed inwardly:

"Really boring!"
