Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 472
Inside the ancestral hall, Lan Jinxiang's servants had just been called, and they were called into the ancestral hall one by one for questioning.

Lan Jinfang first asked the two servant girls of the Hu family. The two maids were so frightened that they stammered and couldn't say anything, so they were asked to retreat outside first, and then the two male servants who were serving Lan Jinxiang were taken away. The servant called in.

One of these two people has been with Lan Jinxiang since childhood, and the other was later bought into the mansion and assigned to Lan Jinxiang.

Lan Jinfang asked: "You have been with your uncle all year round, have you seen him do anything different from others?"

The two looked at each other, and one of them, Li An, said: "Patriarch, we have seen the uncle do a lot of things, what do you mean by 'different'?"

Lan Jinfang said: "It's a pity that you have stayed in Lan's house for so long, and you don't even know this. 'Different' refers to those who are shady and dare not let others know!"

This Li'an was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said: "Patriarch, no, absolutely no! My uncle has always done his duty and never did anything out of line. You can't doubt him!"

Lan Jinfang said: "Really not?"

"Really do not have!"

"Not at all?! Or do you not want to say?!"

Li'an said: "It's true, not at all! The villain can't talk about it even if he wants to!"

Lan Jinfang sneered and said: "Do you think I will believe what you said? Not at all? Even if you don't know, he used to accept bribes from others and sell family medicinal materials at low prices. As a follower, it is impossible for you not to You know, don’t you just want to cover him up, right?!”

"I, I..." Li An was speechless.

"Hmph, get out if you don't say anything, and you won't have to enter the Lan Mansion anymore!"

After speaking, let someone drag Li'an away.

As soon as Li'an was dragged out here, another man named Liping knelt down and said, "Patriarch, the villain knows it, and the villain is willing to say it!"

Lan Jinxiang and Hu Shi who were next to him were startled when they heard this, and said, "Li Ping, you can't talk nonsense! We didn't treat you servants badly, you can't just talk about everything!"

Liping turned his head to look at the two of them, and said: "I know if you treat the uncle and the lady badly, maybe you think it's not a bad treatment, after all, we servants are not human in your eyes..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and began to pour bitter water on Lan Jinfang. He was beaten, scolded, deducted his salary, Lan Jinxiang and his wife complained about Lan Qiaoyu behind their backs, cursed Lan Jinfang, what did they bring from outside? It's not what it should be...

He talked a lot, but still couldn't say what Lan Jinfang wanted.

Lan Jinfang finally got impatient, waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't talk about irrelevant things, do you know anything important or suspicious?"

Li'an knelt there and thought about it, his eyes lit up suddenly after thinking about it, and he said: "Oh, yes, I remember that after the patriarch first arrived in the family, the uncle was very strange for a while, and often hid in the study room by himself. I don’t know what I’m doing, sometimes when I go in to clean after he comes out, I can smell the smell of medicine, but at that time everyone in the family is fine and no medicine is needed, until after the old patriarch passed away, I didn’t see him messing around anymore..."

He didn't care about the Lan Jinfang that he said before, his family sells medicines, it's not uncommon for Lan Jinxiang to study the prescriptions or something, but Liping's last sentence touched him, "After the death of the old patriarch"? !Why did my eldest brother stop researching medicine after his father died?Could it be that the medicine he studied was related to his father's death?

Thinking of this, his voice was a little hurried, and he said, "Do you know what kind of medicine he got? Can you still find it now?"

Liping glanced at Lan Jinxiang again, and said in a low voice: "This... Xiaoyou has seen it secretly. There is a small paper bag in the bottom of the cabinet in the uncle's study room. There are some powdered medicines in it, but I don't know if it is it or not. The kind he made."

Lan Jinfang said: "Take us to find it immediately!"

Liping responded and got up from the ground. Lan Jinxiang next to him looked puzzled and shouted: "Liping, what are you talking about, when did I get the medicine? There is no medicine in my study. What are you going to take them to find?!"

Liping was so frightened that he hid behind Lan Jinfang, and said: "Patriarch, the villain betrayed the uncle like this, will the uncle punish the villain in the future?"

Lan Jinfang said: "It's okay, no matter whether the medicine is good or bad, no one will blame you, and you don't have to go back to my uncle in the future, I will arrange other things through you."

"Yes, Patriarch Xie."

Lan Jinfang led the crowd out while talking.

Lan Jinxiang and Hu Shi also followed behind, and Hu Shi grabbed Lan Jinxiang's sleeve and said in fear, "Jin Xiang, what's going on? Did they catch us for something?"

Lan Jinxiang patted her hand and comforted her: "No, no, I don't have anything in my study, I know, nothing will be found..."

As they spoke, everyone had already left the ancestral hall.

At this time, Jujiao and Jiang Tong also just rushed over, and Jujiao came up to meet him and asked, "Jin Fang, did you find anything? Why did you come here?"

Lan Jinfang held her hand and said, "You came just in time, so let's go and have a look together."

Kikyo said, "What are you looking at?"

Lan Jinfang whispered to him: "Second Brother and Seventh Uncle found out that the driver who drove my mother used to belong to Eldest Brother. I just checked, and Eldest Brother's attendant said that Eldest Brother had studied medicine for a while before his father died, so We want to see what's going on."

Kikyo looked back at Lan Jinxiang and his wife, and seeing the two of them cowering, she thought to herself, do they still have the ability to do such a big thing?

Everyone came to Lan Jinxiang's study with their own thoughts.

Lan Jinxiang's private study is not very big, and there are not many people who can get in. There are only Lan Jinfang, Jujiao, Lan Jinxiang and his wife, and Lan Jinyu, Lan Xianghong, and Lan Xianglin. Liping went inside, while the other clansmen were waiting outside.

After entering the study, Lan Jinfang said to Liping who was walking beside him: "Didn't you say that there is still that kind of medicine at the bottom of his cabinet? Find it and let me see what it is."

Liping carefully bypassed Lan Jinxiang and Hu Shi, came to the bookcase behind the desk, squatted down and rummaged in the corner for a while, and finally took out a small flattened medicine bag under the bottom few books , took it to Lan Jin's side, and said: "Patriarch, this is what the villain saw, but I don't know what kind of medicine it is."

Lan Jinfang took the medicine bag and turned to Lan Jinxiang and Hu Shi, and asked, "Brother, is this yours? Can you tell me, what is the medicine for?"
