Chapter 55 The Duplicitous Man

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Jin personally led people to bring the exiled prisoners.

Lin Xiaoman originally thought that there would be dozens of people, but when Lin Daqiang asked someone to call her over to have a look, there were more than 300 people standing in a huge crowd.

Lin Xiaoman was dumbfounded, she only has dozens of acres of land, how could she need so many people?

Is this for work?Or to raise the uncle?

What's more, there are only more than 300 members of the Lin clan in Hedong Village, and there will be 400 people including more than a dozen people with the surname outside.

Also, where will so many exiled prisoners be placed?Can't they all go to the wasteland she bought?Then what else does she plant?
Lin Daqiang also had a headache, and complained in his heart that Lu Jin was not a man. If he had known that there were so many prisoners in exile, he would never have agreed to let them come to Hedong Village for resettlement.

But the county magistrate stood there with a cold face listening to the officials arrange those people, so he didn't dare to step forward.

Quietly pulled Lin Xiaoman aside, "Xiaoman, what are you going to do? Can you talk to the county magistrate and send him back?"

Lin Xiaoman was also in a dilemma. You must know that Lu Jin was the one who came to her in the name of opening up wasteland. If she was left behind, if something happened to her in the future, she would be pointed at and scolded by the whole village.

"Uncle Daqiang, I'll go and talk to the county magistrate, I don't dare to guarantee whether it will work or not."

"That's fine, you go and talk about it, my lord, I heard that they are all a family, so they must have committed some serious crime to be exiled?"

Lin Xiaoman also had a headache, and walked towards Lu Jin.

Lu Jin was watching his subordinates reprimand those exiles, including his teacher and childhood playmates, but now they are all prisoners.

When Lin Xiaoman came over, he heard Lu Jin sigh softly, and said to himself, "Stubborn old man, why bother?"

Lin Xiaoman followed his gaze, and saw a man with gray beard and hair in a mess, but still standing upright like a green pine and green bamboo. If he didn't look at his gray hair, he looked about 40 years old.

The man's eyes met Lu Jin's for a moment and then hurriedly looked away, as if he didn't want people to find out that he and Lu Jin knew each other.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman approaching, Lu Jin waved to her, "Little shopkeeper, come forward."

Lin Xiaoman was about to discuss with him the arrangement of these prisoners, so he stepped forward happily, "I have seen the county magistrate."

Lu Jin nodded, pointing to the man he just looked at and asked Lin Xiaoman, "Did you see that old man with ragged linen clothes and a tattered beard who is worse than beggars on the street?"

The corners of Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched, did he describe people like that?You obviously care about that person in what you said, so why bother to be mean?
"I see, does your lord want me to take care of him?"

"How is it possible? That's a felon assigned by the court." Lu Jin stared in disbelief, as if he was questioning Lin Xiaoman, did he want to harm him?

"What does the lord mean..."

Lin Xiaoman wasn't sure, he tricked him into resettling him in Hedong Village, including food and clothing, didn't he want her to take care of him, but he wanted her to make things difficult for her?

But looking at the man's proud appearance, he doesn't look like a treacherous person, she can't do that kind of thing.

When Lu Jin looked at the man, he gritted his teeth and even hated iron and steel, "This old man has no wife and no children. He lived a chic life when he was young. I don't want him to be comfortable when he gets old. Help me see See if there are any powerful women in the village, preferably those who did not get married because of something when they were young, the more vulgar the better, I will be a matchmaker for him."

Lin Xiaoman's mind quickly flashed through the qualified women in the village. There were really two of them. One was Lin Daqiang's fourth sister, Lin Dajiao. In a fit of anger, he smashed the man's house to pieces.

After letting out a bad breath, but the reputation spread, no one dared to come to the house to be a matchmaker, and Lin Dajiao didn't care, and later she was separated from her natal family, built a house by herself, went up the mountain and down the field, fished in the river, Everything is available.

During the earthquake last year, Lin Dajiao's house was not seriously damaged, so she did not move to the east of the village. She is one of Lin Xiaoman's few neighbors.

In Lin Xiaoman's impression, Lin Dajiao was hot-tempered and very pungent, and with the support of her patriarch's father and elder brother, no one in the village dared to provoke her, but when her marriage was mentioned, the second grandmother would sigh, but she was very straightforward.

There is also a girl with a foreign surname, named Qi Shuixian, who is the niece of Mrs. Qi's natal family.

She had a serious illness before she got married, and she took a long time to recover from her illness. Not only was her family ruined, but she was also in her 20s. The person who came to propose a marriage was either an old widower who took care of her family or was unable to marry a wife. the coward.

A few years ago, her parents passed away, and her family property was divided up by her uncles and brothers, so she could only come to join Mrs. Qi, who left her at home to support herself.

Mrs. Qi is now arrested by Lu Jin and put in prison, and Qi Shuixian lives alone in Mrs. Qi's house.

Lin Xiaoman didn't have much contact with Qi Shuixian, but every time we met, I found that she didn't look at people straight, and was always sneaky, and she looked like Mrs. Qi.

Lin Xiaoman told Lu Jin about the situation of these two people. Just by how Lu Jin chose, he could see his attitude towards that man.

After Lu Jin finished listening, she dismissed Qi Shuixian without thinking, "Her aunt is not good, if she looks like her aunt, she won't be a good person!"

When talking about Lin Dajiao again, there was a treacherous smile on the corner of her mouth, "You said your aunt is living by herself now? The marriage between the old man and her is really done. Does the old man count as the son-in-law?"

Lin Xiaoman was speechless, and he couldn't tell whether this person was bad or mischievous.

Apparently Lu Jin didn't want to hear the promise from Lin Xiaoman, so he said to himself: "I'll find a chance to meet your aunt later, in case your second grandfather's family still doesn't like this old man."

Lin Xiaoman clicked his tongue twice in his heart: Sure enough, this is a duplicity man!

After talking about the man's marriage, Lin Xiaoman cut straight to the point and asked, "Sir, I don't need so many people to open up wasteland in my field. How do you send these people to resettle? Or, you can take some back and leave a few dozen for me." enough."

Lu Jin waved his hand, "I have brought all the people's belts, so there is no reason to take them back? I see that there are many houses near your house that have not collapsed. After repairing them, people can always live in them. Later, I will find some craftsmen in the county. You take the people who open up the wasteland, and the rest let them do it themselves."

Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, he had already figured out how to arrange them before he sent them here?

"Can……"

"You don't have to refuse, the little shopkeeper. From now on, these people will stay in the village and obey the orders of the little shopkeeper. If anyone refuses to accept it, the little shopkeeper can just teach them a lesson!"

After thinking for a while, he added in a low voice: "I've been exiled, so who should I show my temper to?"
