Chapter 658 The reason for the change of taste

Lu Bajin tremblingly said: "My lord, because my cellar is spacious, all the grape branches used in the village are stored in my cellar. At the beginning of spring, someone suddenly came to me and said that he would buy my grape branches with money..."

Li Zheng was furious: "That is the life of the villagers! You just sold it?!"

"I, I don't want to sell it either, but my mother-in-law encouraged me..." Lu Bajin flinched a little, not daring to look up into Lizheng's eyes.

Li was rushing over to beat him, stomping his feet and roaring, "You bastard who has no conscience!"

Lu Bajin didn't dare to raise his head, and shrank to the ground.

Qingluo let Lizheng calm down and asked Lu Bajin, "Let me ask you, who bought your grape branches?"

"It's a man, and his accent is also from our Pingyang County." Lu Bajin tried hard to recall, "Actually, I didn't sell it at the time, but it was used in Kaichun Village. What will I get when I sell it?"

Qingluo: "Why did you sell it again?"

Lu Bajin looked at Lizheng, and said in a low voice, "It's not for sale, the man said to give me some money, and exchange the grape branches with his..."

Taking advantage of Huang Butou not paying attention, Lizheng rushed over and punched Lu Bajin in the face, shouting, "Why don't you use the grape branches you bought yourself!"

Lu Bajin covered his face and said in mourning, "My mother-in-law said that someone bought it for money, and the designation is not a good thing, so I'm not allowed to use it..."

Qingluo laughed angrily: "You are not stupid. Do you know that because you are greedy for such a cheap price, now the whole village may not even be able to afford rice noodles for Chinese New Year?"

After hearing this, Lu Bajin suddenly squatted down on the ground, put his head in his hands, and began to cry: "I never thought that the grape branch of that person would be so deceitful... If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't dare to change it if I was killed." Ah, these days I can't eat, I can't sleep well, I just feel ashamed of our folks..."

Huang Butou kicked him: "Can't eat and sleep? I think you are more energetic than me! I really feel guilty, why don't you take the initiative to explain!"

"I don't know who has enmity with our village..." Lu Bajin squatted on the ground, beating and scolding, not daring to raise his head.

Li Zheng looked at him with eyes that wanted to eat people.

Qing Luo always felt that something was wrong.

If it is about seeking revenge, why would it target the entire village?
There must be something else hidden.

Qingluo said seriously: "Lu Bajin, tell me about that person's appearance."

"Look...how can I say this, I can't read or write, I can't speak..." Lu Bajin looked puzzled.

Huang Butou was so angry that he wanted to kick him again: "You always talk about tall, short, fat, and thin? You always talk about what you wear!"

"Yes, yes, I just wanted to..." Lu Bajin thought for a long time before saying, "He looks like a scholar, wearing a big coat, and looks very gentle. Is he long... the eyes are quite big. Oh yes Yes, his walking is very interesting, he likes to walk with a sway, just like the official master in the play..."

Huang Butou glared at him: "You don't really remember your appearance, but you still remember the way he walked? If you dare to fool our adults casually, I can't spare you!"

"Don't dare, the grassroots will never dare to deceive the magistrate..." Lu Bajin squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, with a pitiful look that he would not fight back.

"Captain Huang," Qingluo stopped him, "Send two people to send him back to the yamen and hand him over to Sixth Master Lin. Follow me."

Catcher Huang agreed, and asked the two policemen to take Lu Bajin away, and then asked, "My lord, where are we going?"

"South Bridge Village."

"Lord Magistrate—" Erli was kneeling in front of her, begging, "My lord, please save us!"

Qingluo hurriedly said: "The culprit of this incident has not been caught yet, but the grapes in your village don't have to worry, you can pick grapes normally from tomorrow onwards, and send them all to Liu's Winery in Qili Village, and find a man named Rong Cheng , let him accept it at the market price.”

Lizheng was surprised and delighted, but also worried: "My lord, can Liu's Winery have our grapes?"

Huang Butou said: "The wine shop belongs to adults, what do you think?"

"Oh..." Two Lizheng reacted immediately.

Liu Shi!
"My lord, these grapes are not delicious..." One of them, Li Zheng, was kind and cautious, "Take it back and rot at home, wouldn't it be a waste of money for your lord?"

Qingluo smiled: "I have my own uses, and I won't let the grapes rot in vain."

"Then, how much does your lord need?" The two lizhengs were thinking in their minds, whether each family should share some evenly, and at least get two living money to go home.

Qingluo walked towards the carriage and said casually, "As much as you pick every day, Liu's Winery will take as much."

"Really?" Er Lizheng was quite pleasantly surprised.

Such unpalatable grapes can be sold at the market price, which is something they dare not even dream of.

Huang Butou laughed and scolded: "What is true and false, don't be surprised. What our county magistrate says always counts! Just take your grapes, why are there so many nonsense!"

Qingluo glanced at him: "I think you talk a lot of nonsense."

"hey-hey!"

"My lord," Lizheng, as if in a dream, was afraid of waking up all of a sudden, chasing after Qingluo to confirm, "How many days do you want?"

Qingluo turned her head back: "I will arrive when your grapes are picked. By the way, don't throw away the frozen grapes after the frost, give them all to me, remember?"

"You want that too?" Lizheng nodded with great joy, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely follow your lord's orders!"

Qingluo nodded, boarded the carriage, and told the monkey to go directly to Nanqiao Village.

Monkey thought she was going home, so when he arrived at Nanqiao Village, he parked the carriage directly in front of Liu Heping's house.

Just as Qingluo was about to speak, she saw Du Shi and Ji Yuehong coming out one after the other.

Ji Yuehong puffed out her stomach, saw Qing Luo at first glance, and hurriedly reached out to pull Du Shi's sleeve, "Mother, look—"

"What?" Mrs. Du raised his head, and when he saw Qing Luo, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Mother..." Qingluo said softly.

Du Shi's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and he walked towards Qingluo.

"Mother!" Ji Yuehong grabbed her, "Why are you going?"

Du's eyes looked at Qingluo, and said tearfully, "Didn't you see, it's Niuniu..."

"What niuniu?" Ji Yuehong curled her lips, "Have you forgotten again? She is not your daughter! We Wenquan are the only ones of your flesh and blood now, so don't think about her anymore!"

Du Shi was stunned, his footsteps gradually stopped, and finally he covered his face and turned to leave.

Qingluo glanced at Ji Yuehong, looked away, and said with a voice like ice, "Go to the Liu family's old house!"

Monkey and Huang Butou looked at each other when they heard her voice.

The adults are not happy!

Someone is going to be unlucky!
