Lord Qing Leng bowed down for me

Chapter 80

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and the crowd automatically gave way to them. The Jiangbei Army took control of the scene, while Jin Yiwei arrested all the villagers who made trouble.

Xiao Zian turned over and got off the horse, the anger in his eyes was about to burst out, just seeing Shen Shaowei's frightened look, he wished to cut these people to pieces.

"My lord, what did you arrest us for? It's obviously a problem with the rice grains given by the Shen family!"

Some of the captured villagers shouted, and the crowd became restless again. Jiang Huaice looked coldly and smiled, "Your accent doesn't look like a Huaijing person, and you don't even look like a villager in your clothes."

His eyes locked on the person in the crowd with great precision, and before that person had time to shrink back, Xiao Zian's sword rested on his neck.

"You only get a little tobacco for a tael of silver, but you can afford it."

The sword was sharp, the man swallowed, and hastily stretched out his hand to stuff the tobacco protruding from his waist. There was a scar on his face, which looked very much like a knife wound from a deserter in the army.

He spoke in a substandard Huaijing dialect: "Our family moved into Lijia Village later, you can't stop me from arguing for Brother Li just because I'm not from Lijia Village."

"Brother Li lost his breath after eating the rice porridge from Shen's family."

This man's eyes rolled around, he looked like a treacherous villain, and everything he said was inciting the villagers. Xiao Zian saw that he was not a good person.

"If you tell the truth now, I can still forgive you. If you don't tell me, then I have to let you go to the prison for a while. I believe the yamen servants will have a way to make you speak."

Xiao Zian's face was full of gloomyness, and what he said seemed to be a good deal, but in fact he was holding this man's life to death. If the knife wound on his face was really from the army to deal with deserters, Then you must be very afraid of being discovered.

After all, Huaijing has clear regulations on dealing with deserters. At the least, they will be punished with black ink, exiled for thousands of miles, and they will not be allowed to step into Huaijing for life.

But this person deliberately scratched the words left by Mo Xing with a knife, which is already disrespectful. If he really entered the prison and was interrogated by others, would he still have his life?

"Give way! Let everything go!"

The smile on Xiao Zian's face deepened, and he wanted to force this person to tell the truth, but he heard the voice of an old man from the crowd.

"Now that someone is dead in Li Family Village, then I, the village head, should have the right to say a few words, Commander Xiao."

The old man slammed his cane on the ground and said: "Everyone has seen it with their own eyes. Li Jiatian lost his breath after eating Shen's rice porridge. Is it old rice? Just let us have a look. Is it all rice?"

Village head Li Shoucai's request was not too much, because when something happened, it was natural to check the source first, and the villagers all nodded to show that the village head was right.

Shen Shaowei came over to look at Xiao Zian and said, "I have a receipt from the rice store, and I can let them check it. If there is really a problem with the rice I bought, I am willing to take all the responsibilities."

After all, the matter happened in the porridge shed of the Shen family, no matter what, Shen Shaowei had to show his attitude.

Shen Zhiyi also wanted to follow, but she saw Xi Yanyu walking over in a hurry, and she would not allow him to have too much contact with Shen Shaowei before she had investigated him clearly.

"Miss Si, I just want to help."

Xi Yanyu had a helpless look on his face, as if he couldn't figure out why Shen Zhiyi was hostile to him.

"Mr. Xi, this is a matter of the Shen family. I don't need your help for the time being. You should go back first."

In terms of inspection, Shen Zhiyi believes that Xiao Zian's ability must be better than his, after all, that's what the command post is for.

"I"

"If you go one step further, you are obstructing official duties."

The man's cold voice came from behind Xi Yanyu, he turned sideways and saw Jiang Huaize approaching, that was the majesty gained from bloody battles on the frontier battlefield, if he could deter the enemy, it would naturally make Xi Yanyu no longer say a word.

Xi Yanyu smiled and said: "Well, if there is anyone I can help, feel free to come to me."

Shen Zhiyi watched him leave, and when she turned to go in, Jiang Huaice stopped her: "Zhizhi."

He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he thought that she had some kind of affection for him when she sent things over that time, but when he saw her today, he was even more estranged than before, and the relationship between the two of them returned to the original point.

"Zhizhi, you still don't want to see me?"

Shen Zhiyi ignored him and continued walking, but after hearing this sentence, she stopped in her tracks: "No matter what the truth is, I have already missed it once, and one cannot fall twice on the same road. time, isn't it?"

"I'm not asking you to go back to the way you were, I just want to walk on the road to the future with you again."

Jiang Huaice took two steps forward and said in a low voice, the life he wanted to live with her in this life was never the same as in the previous life. He knew that the previous life had cast too much shadow on her, which made her never dare to take that step.

"Zhizhi, I can cooperate with you to find the truth of the previous life"

"No need, I have hands and feet. If I want to know something, I will check it myself, and I won't wait for others to tell me the news."

When he was halfway through speaking, Shen Zhiyi uttered a voice to stop him, so what's the point of talking about it now?She admits that she trapped herself in the same place, but what kind of road to take and what kind of life to live is her own business, and has nothing to do with Jiang Huaize.

Shen Zhiyi's figure disappeared into the porridge shed, Jiang Huaice had no choice but to keep up with her pace, that's all, if he couldn't get the truth, what right did he have to ask her.

In the porridge shed, Shen Shaowei looked at the old rice and was almost untenable, but it was Xiao Zian who quickly supported her: "Wei'er."

"How did it become like this? I obviously checked each of them when they were shipped in."

She stood up and looked at these servants with condensed eyes. These are old people who have been in the Shen family for many years. She really couldn't think of anyone who would come to harm her.

"Did you say it yourself, or wait for me to check one by one?"

Those servants heard Shen Shaowei's words and knelt down one after another: "Second Miss, we have stayed in the Shen family for so many years, and we will never do anything to harm you."

"Don't talk about it now, but I'll let you go to the prison and talk about it later."

Standing beside Shen Shaowei, Xiao Zian felt even more oppressive, and the servants shook their heads one after another, looking dazed and not fake.

"Second Miss, this is your Shen family's own business, now let's talk about Li Jiatian's business."

Village head Li Shoucai interrupted them with a cough. Whether it was new rice or old rice, it was an internal matter of the Shen family. What they were going to talk about now was Li Youtian's innocent death.

The person died after drinking the rice porridge, and the Shen family cannot escape the blame.
