Chapter 7 Mysterious Relatives

On the field path, two galloping horses galloped over from a distance, their hooves sounded hurriedly, as if there was something urgent.

An old man dodged to the side of the road with a bundle of firewood on his back.

The man in black on the horse reined in, squinted his eyes and asked, "Hey, old man, how far is it from Longtan Village?"

The old man was silent, just walking with his head down.

"Hey, old man, you are deaf, what can I ask you?" Another man in blue raised his whip and asked, "How far is it to Longtan Village?"

"A leather whip!" The old man raised his eyes to look at the whips in their hands, and replied in a low voice.

"A whip?" The two looked at each other, confused, and the man in blue raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't care here?"

"Lunli (reason)? If you talk about li (reason) and ask for directions, why don't you get off your horse and bow?" The old man looked at the two people neither humble nor overbearing. There are traces of being in the government for a long time, and there is a certain arrogance in the eyebrows and eyes.

"You..." Although the man in blue was annoyed, he had nothing to say. Unexpectedly, in the countryside, people are so particular about etiquette!

Looking around, there was silence and no one was there anymore. The man in black frowned, got off his horse, stepped forward and bowed, "Old man!"

"It's right in front." The old man didn't look at him, and raised his hand, still neither humble nor overbearing.

The two almost burst out laughing, this old guy!

At the entrance of the village, the two got off their horses and walked slowly.

A fishy smell rushed towards him.

The two of them covered their mouths and noses at the same time, why is this place so smelly!

In the alley not far away, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered, and there was a lot of voices.

A woman came from there with a smile on her face.

Having learned the lesson just now, the man in black rushed forward to greet him, bowed and said, "This sister-in-law invited me, may I ask if there was a family named Xiao who got married yesterday in the village?"

"Well, the Xiao family got married yesterday." The woman's voice was thin and special, giving off an ungrounded feeling, as if she was always floating in the air.

Because of her voice, people in the village jokingly called her Lady Herring, to the effect that her voice was as soft as the herring in the sea.

"The bride is Lin Xueman from Linjiawa?"

"Who are you?" Lady Herring became a little wary.

"Oh, we are relatives of her natal family. We have lived in other places for a long time. This time we came back to our hometown for a short stay. I heard that she is married. Come and have a look." The man in black immediately had a smile on his face.

"I don't know what the new daughter-in-law's name is, but I only know that it's the Lin family from Linjiawa. She's in the courtyard of the head of the village right now, and that's the one in the wedding dress." Lady Qingyu said relieved.

"Thank you!" The man in black bowed again.

"We came a step late." The man in blue sighed at the side. Since he is a married woman, he is no longer a perfect body. I am afraid that he can't take it back to the capital rashly.

Damn Lin Youquan, I wish I could cut you into pieces for my lord!

The man in black looked around at the dilapidated walls and the dirty streets, and said with a frown, "If my lord finds out that his daughter married into such a remote and poor fishing village, he will probably be heartbroken."

The two sighed, led the horse, and walked towards that alley.

Village chief Zhao Shun's house was full of people, some even sat on the wall, who didn't know it, thought they were singing an opera.

"Li Zhang, the Xiao family stole my chicken, and there are chicken feathers as evidence!" the tofu family shouted preemptively.

"Li Chief, he spitting blood, their chickens were taken away by dogs." Xiao Yun did not show any weakness.

"What's the mess, this little thing bothers me?" Zhao Shun, who was black and thin, looked at them impatiently, and coughed twice, "Isn't it just a chicken?"

He yawned, looked around at the following crowd, and pointed at Xiao Yun: "Your family just pays them a chicken, what a big deal!"

The mother and son of the Wang family secretly rejoiced.

At this time, a little boy emerged from the crowd, walked up to Wang Dahai, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said something in a low voice.

When Wang Dahai heard this, he immediately followed him, squeezed out of the crowd, went out, and went straight to the outside of the village.

"Ah? Why? Chief, why do you want us to pay? We didn't steal it!" Xiao Yun was naturally dissatisfied.

"Li Zhang, it's not about the chickens, it's about our Xiao family's innocence. If we lose money, wouldn't it mean that we have stolen his chickens?" Lin Xueman looked at Zhao Shun who was laughing, dumbfounded, busy She stepped forward and said, "Someone deliberately threw chickens at my house, which is considered a plantation. Naturally, Minnv is wronged. If we stole the chicken, can we still leave such obvious evidence in the yard? Minnv thinks that the most urgent thing is to find The dog that took the chicken has already discerned right from wrong!"

Everyone's expressions were shocked, it was indeed such a reason!

Outside the crowd, a smile of approval appeared on the face of the man in black.

"That's right!" Zhao Shun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, beckoned to a person beside him, and muttered a few words, "Go around the village and see whose dog took that chicken?"

The man nodded and took the order to go.

He looked up at the tofu family again and said, "It's not enough for you to have chicken feathers, you have to find chickens, catch thieves, catch stolen goods, catch rapes and catch doubles, don't you understand?"

The tofu family was confused, she didn't understand what it meant.

"That is to say, if you suspect that someone stole your chicken, you have to prove that your chicken is in their house, just like if you suspect that your man stole someone, you have to catch him and that woman, ahem, on the bed. "Zhao Shun explained patiently.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Li Zhang, you can't talk nonsense. How could my man steal someone?" The Tofu family blinked and went in without knowing it. Could it be that the Li Zhang heard something?

When you get home, ask Wang Shitou, if he dares to steal someone, you must pick him up!

Lin Xueman stood there, pursing her lips and smiling.

"I'm just making an analogy, why is it so hard to talk to you girls!" Zhao Shun felt helpless.

The man in black stared intently at the red figure, not to mention that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were indeed somewhat similar to his own adults, there was no doubt that this woman was my young lady!

He had seen Lin Xuechuan in Linjiawa. The woman was tall and plump. The wedding dress was obviously made according to Lin Xuechuan's size, so it was a bit loose when worn on Lin Xueman's thin body.

He quietly said to the man in blue: "Seeing that the young lady is cautious in her words, she is a sensible person. I think she will not complain to your lord. Why haven't I heard from you for ten years? Now that she is married and the raw rice is ripe, I'd better go back and report first, Make a plan, after all Madam doesn't know that Your Excellency has such a daughter at home, if Your Excellency returns to the capital for the first time, if you rush to take her back, it will be disadvantageous for both Your Excellency and Miss."

"Well, that makes sense, let's go back and report back first!" The man in blue nodded in agreement.

As soon as the two turned around, they saw the old man carrying firewood just now, and entered the house unhurriedly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, he had seen two horses tied under the tree in front of his house a long time ago, and thought that there were distinguished guests at home, but he never thought it would be them.

The two smiled slightly, bowed in both hands, and went out.

"Li Chang, the dog that took the rooster has been found. It's on the seawall outside the village." Someone ran back panting.

Lin Xueman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Found it, whose dog is it?" Zhao Shun got up and asked casually.

"Li Chief, yes, it's your dog, who was beaten to death by Wang Dahai in a fit of anger..."

"What?" Zhao Shunteng stood up, angrily stepped forward and grabbed the tofu family, "Go, go to the government, and go to judge."

"This, this, Li Chang, my Dahai must not know that it is your dog! If he knew, he would never do this..." The face of the Tofu family paled for a while.

"I don't know? Who in this Longtan village doesn't know my dog? Only your family doesn't know Dahai! It was clearly intentional." Zhao Shun was completely angry!

"Enough." Old man Zhao also understood what was going on. He put down the firewood and said in a deep voice, "All living beings are equal. Now one life is equal to one life, so it's even."

"Father, we are dogs, they are chickens, how can we be equal!" Zhao Shun was anxious.

Old man Zhao didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly. This ineffective thing still has the title of Lieutenant Chief. For a trivial matter, he haggled over every detail with a woman. He didn't have the magnanimity of a Lieutenant Chief. How can he convince the public in the future?

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"No, I mean how can the dog raised by our family work so hard to compare with a rooster?" Zhao Shun quickly explained, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"Everyone go away!" Old man Zhao ignored him, and calmly faced the crowd, concluding, "My dog ​​ate Wang's chicken, and one life is for another. This is the end of this matter. The little lady of the Xiao family has nothing to do with it."

Immediately, Lin Xueman and Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, they never thought that the befuddled chief had such a sensible father!

After Mr. Zhao spoke, the crowd dispersed like birds.

He seems more majestic than his son!
