In the busyness of everyone, May passed in a blink of an eye.

Now it's time to pick apricots and peaches again.

Yingbao didn't need to worry about this time, the second cousin invited a few friends to start working.

The mushroom fungus of the Jiang family and the villagers had already been picked once, and now they have been replanted.

Some villagers also sold their surplus bacteria to the villagers of Xicun.

As a result, there were several more households in Xicun who lived in Nanpo, including Chen Laoshuan's family.

That's right, Chen Laoshuan seemed to have figured it out after the flood, and spent a lot of money to hire people to build five large tile-roofed houses on the south slope.

The house was built on the field of the youngest son Chen Changhai.

As soon as it was built, the old couple Chen Laoshuan brought Xu Bao, Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian to live here without even drying the plaster.

Therefore, when Yingbao went out to dig herbs, she often saw Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian bringing their younger brother Xu Bao to Dongchen Village to play, and sometimes they even ran to the martial arts field, staying for a long time.

Ying Bao was puzzled, she didn't understand why the two of them were so leisurely, did they not go to the medicine hall as apprentices?

What's even more exaggerated is that these two guys took Xu Bao to their orchard and asked Jiang Quan for apricots and peaches, but the second cousin gave them too.

Yingbao wanted to warn the second cousin a few words, but after thinking about it, she forgot.

She wants to see what they want to do when they circle around her house.

But before she could figure it out, a large group of guards suddenly came to the village, and the leader was obviously Xiao Mo.

He came with him, as well as Cao Shen, the county captain.

"Where is Dongchen Village?" Cao Shen rode on the horse, staring down at the villagers who were watching the excitement.

Jiang Sanlang happened to be at home, and ran out immediately after hearing the word.

He saw Cao Shen at a glance, and hurried forward to salute: "Jiang Sanlang, the village chief of Dongchen Village, has met Cao Guanren."

Cao Shen raised his chin and said, "A villager named Chen in your village sells poison to poison nobles, do you know?"

Jiang Sanlang was taken aback, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "The villager surnamed Chen sells poison? Who is it? Please tell Cao Guanren."

Cao Shen snorted, turned his head behind him and said, "Come here and tell him!"

A man came out from among the soldiers, it was Ah Qiu's servant.

He bowed his hands to Cao Shen, and then said to Jiang Sanlang: "Two months ago, the master of the slave family paid a high price to buy more than a dozen catties of mushrooms from the elder Chen's family, but they had ulterior motives and sold the poisonous mushrooms to us."

"The patriarch's family sells mushrooms to you?" Jiang Sanlang didn't believe it at all: "How is it possible?"

None of the mushrooms left in their village were sold to the Furuifeng Firm where Manager Zhou worked, including some of the golden ears from the Jiang family.

Where did this person buy the mushrooms from?Shouldn't you come here to blackmail people?

"How is it impossible? It was the daughter-in-law of Patriarch Chen who sold it to us."

Ah Qiu said with certainty: "If you don't believe me, call them here, let's confront them face to face."

Jiang Sanlang frowned, and ordered a villager to call Patriarch Chen and his daughter-in-law over.

After a while, Patriarch Chen hurried over, followed by Chen Zhu and Chen Zhu's wife Shao Shi.

"Sanlang, what happened?" Patriarch Chen was startled when he heard someone said that his daughter-in-law sold poisonous mushrooms to others, and hurried over.

Chen Zhu was worried about his father, so he and his wife followed.

Jiang Sanlang: "This person said that your daughter-in-law sells poisonous mushrooms."

"How is it possible?" Patriarch Chen glanced at Shao's, and shook his head: "My daughter-in-law is doing her duty, when did she sell poisonous mushrooms? Aqiu, you can't talk about it carelessly."

Ah Qiu became anxious: "Patriarch Chen, I swear to God, it is your daughter-in-law. The other day when our carriage passed by your house, your second daughter-in-law Han stopped us from talking, saying that she had mushrooms in her hand and wanted to sell them to my master."

Patriarch Chen was stunned.

Han's!It's Han's again!
He was almost pissed off by that stupid thing.

Cao Shen said: "Patriarch Chen, hand over the man quickly, so that we can meet up as soon as possible."

Patriarch Chen's hands trembled, he turned to his youngest son and said, "Quickly go and call your second sister-in-law."

I can't affect the whole family because of a Han family.

Just as Chen Zhu was about to run to call for someone, he heard Xiao Mo say, "Since the evidence is convincing, there is no need to delay. Officer Cao can send someone to arrest them all."

Cao Shen: ...

Looking around, County Captain Cao ordered the county soldiers he had brought: "Let that man lead the way, arrest the criminal and his family, and make sure not to let one go!"

"Yes!" A dozen county soldiers immediately followed Chen Zhu and ran down the mountain.

Jiang Sanlang looked serious, and wanted to ask Patriarch Chen what was going on, but held back.

Hearing that the family members were arrested together, Patriarch Chen was dumbfounded, and hurriedly called Qu: "A high official, one person does something and one person is in charge. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Chen family."

Chen Fu couldn't figure out what happened, so he asked Xiao Mo from Fucheng to arrest the person himself, and even arrested the whole family.

Xiao Mo ignored him, and turned to Jiang Sanlang, "Xiao is not only here to arrest criminals, but also wants to ask Jiang Cunzheng for help."

Jiang Sanlang felt his scalp go numb, "Commander Xiao is very polite, if you want to help or not, just ask if you have something to do."

Xiao Mo: "I received an order from my superiors to find a child with medical skills. I saw that your Yingbao's medical skills are good. I want to tell you that tomorrow I will take her to Beijing to treat noble people."

"No way! My daughter is only a few years old. How can she treat someone? Please ask officials Xiao to look into it." Jiang Sanlang cupped his hands at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was noncommittal, just silently glanced at Jiang Sanlang and the others.

Soon, patriarch Chen's eldest son's family and his second son's family were brought in, and even Chen Boyuan, who had difficulty walking, was brought over.

Aqiu pointed to Han Miaoniang and said to County Captain Cao Shen, "She is the one who sells poisonous mushrooms to us."

Han Miaoniang was terrified, and exclaimed: "I don't have any, what kind of poisonous mushroom, that is the golden ear grown by our family, how can it be a poisonous mushroom?"

Cao Shen sneered and waved his hand: "Take them to the prison van!"

All the soldiers cheered and surrounded them, revealing two large prison wagons with two horses.

Amidst the screams of Patriarch Chen's family, the soldiers lifted them up one by one and stuffed them into the prison van.

Now the villagers rioted, and someone shouted: "Why are you arresting people?"

"Let them out!"

"What crime have they committed! Are you going to take them all?"

After all, patriarch Chen is the pillar of the family, the face of the Chen family, once the patriarch is arrested, their reputation will be ruined, how can they hold their head up in front of outsiders?

Seeing this, Xiao Mo signaled to Cao Shen: "Release Patriarch Chen and his wife, and bring the rest back to the county government for trial."

So Patriarch Chen and his old wife were pulled out of the prison car and thrown aside.

"Father! Father! Help me! Help me!" Han Miaoniang was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and she kept yelling.

Now she is more terrified than anyone else, because she knows that there must be something wrong with her golden ear, which made the nobleman suffer.

Perhaps the nobleman had already been eaten to death, so these people came to arrest their family.

But she really didn't know that that thing would eat people to death. If she knew, even if she was given 1000 taels of silver, she wouldn't dare to sell it to others.

Han Miaoniang grabbed the wooden fence and yelled, "It was the Jiang family who harmed me. It was the Jiang family who gave me a faulty inoculum. That's why I was wronged! High officials! We are wronged! If you want to arrest the Jiang family..."
