Chapter 11

Lin Jiao saw his face under the moonlight as black as iron, and knew that he was terribly angry.Anyway, I've said everything I wanted to say, and it's time to stop the rain and close the awning. I quickly took a step back and changed into a sincere tone: "Uncle Jingxuan, don't be angry. I didn't mean to discredit you at all. You With such a high profile, I just want to discredit me and I don't have the ability. But I, Lin Chunjiao, dare to swear to the sky that I am innocent and have no adultery. I am just trying to make a living for myself. You are a sensible person, and you must know how to deal with it. You and I are fine. As long as you help me this time, I promise that I will live a good life as my brother Nengwu in the future, and I will thank you on behalf of my brother Nengwu."

After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she walked past him with a smile and left.Walking to the corner of the earth wall, I glanced back secretly, and saw that the man was still standing there, his back under the moonlight was motionless like a stone statue, and only the old horse beside him was wagging its tail.

When Lin Jiao hurried home, the room was pitch black, and Neng Wu was still awake, sitting in the dark waiting.Hearing the sound of her coming back, he quickly fumbled and lit the lamp.

"Sister-in-law, have you been at aunt's house for so long?" In the dim oil lamp, he looked a little uneasy.

He still doesn't know about the "public trial meeting" in the ancestral hall tomorrow, Lin Jiao didn't intend to let him know, she didn't want to make him a child to face this battle, so she simply mentioned a few words and said with a smile: "Aunt Shi's asked me to say more After a few words, it was too late to come back."

Neng Wu was finally coaxed to sleep by Lin Jiao.Lin Jiao tidied up and washed hastily, closed the door and went back to her room and lay down on the kang, closed her eyes, the face of the man who was so dark at the last moment appeared in front of her eyes, she felt a little funny, just laughed After that, I couldn't help but sighed again.

This last move, to be honest, was a desperate move.In her plan, if Yang Jingxuan was moved to agree to her initial statement, she would naturally not make such a bloody move.But later it was discovered that he had a heart of stone, preconceived and stick to his own opinion, so he had no choice but to use this trump card.If you want to blame, you can only blame him for being unlucky, and you happened to be in the water and let yourself see it.If I don't make full use of it, I'm really sorry for that look.

According to logic, as long as this Yang Jingxuan's thinking is normal, he will have to succumb in all likelihood.He has an affair with a woman, and in terms of seniority, he is still a niece and daughter-in-law. If such a thing is really spread, he will not have to be a man in this world in the future.As long as he succumbed a little and said a word or two at the right time tomorrow, and with the help of Widow Stone, she would have a great chance of winning.Of course, at the same time, this also means that this person has been completely offended from then on.But Lin Jiao was not very worried about this.Although this person is not welcome, the more temperamental a person is, the less likely he is to stab a knife in the back.At most, he will be left with a bad impression of a wicked woman with a scheming heart, and in the future, they will never get in touch with each other.

Even so, Lin Jiao was still a little worried.This Yang Jingxuan was very stubborn at first sight.What if he is a deadhead who is stubborn to the end of a gangster, would rather die than surrender, or simply not show up tomorrow, what should he do?She said that those were actually just threats, and she had no hatred against him.If he doesn't come, it's not good for me to really drag him into the water and kill him.If there is only Stone Widow tomorrow, things will be a little bit hanging.

Lin Jiao was so worried about gain and loss that she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until the middle of the night when she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up suddenly, she saw that the hazy sky had already shone in through the small square window covered with torn tissue paper.It was already dawn anyway, and I tried my best.What happens next is up to God.

The morning in early spring is still a bit cold, and there is a drifting mist between the wheat fields and the mountainsides in the distance.When the sun rose to the top of the hundred-year-old locust tree beside the main hall of the ancestral hall, the place was already full of people standing there, which had changed from the usual silence.Groups of three or five whispered in low voices, people continued to arrive one after another, and there was a buzzing everywhere.

When Lin Jiao arrived, the arena was already full of people, even the old pagoda tree was covered with children, hanging like monkeys, it was as lively as a market.As soon as she appeared, she immediately became the focus, and a lane was split in the middle with a clatter.She ignored the various gazes of others, walked straight to the front, and then stopped.

Before the patriarch and the people in charge arrived, Lin Jiao stood under the mottled shadow of the old pagoda tree, looking towards the ancestral hall.This ancestral hall has experienced many years of wind and rain.The black paint on the doorposts and the gate had been peeled off, revealing patches of gray-white wooden bases, with clusters of tile grass growing in the middle and west of the eaves tile cracks.Looking in from the wide-open gate, there are portraits of ancestors and concubines hanging in the inner hall, which is gloomy and dull.Only the four-character couplets "Chang Mian Shi Ze" and "Pi Zhen Jia Sheng" on both sides with traces of gold leaf are still flying like dragons and phoenixes, so that people can vaguely imagine the solemnity and solemnity of that year.

When the shadow of the sun was projected onto the footstones of the two pillars in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, Lin Jiao heard a commotion behind her, and looking back, she saw Grandpa Yang swaying slowly with the old men he had seen yesterday, leaning on a cane. come over.The one who walked last was Yang Jingxuan.I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well last night. My brows were furrowed and my complexion was very bad. When I passed by Lin Jiao, my eyes were looking straight ahead, but my face became more and more gloomy. Respect door god.

Lin Jiao saw that he finally appeared.As long as you come here, you have won, no matter how he looks.Then he turned his head to look at Widow Shi who was standing not far from him, and seeing her slightly nodded towards him, he was relieved.

A row of chairs had been set up in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, and when Taigong Yang and his party settled down, Yang Baitian and Hu Lanhua got out of nowhere and stood beside Lin Jiao.Hu Lanhua glanced at her with a smug expression.

"Folks! Be quiet, everyone! Taigong has something to say!"

Yang Baitian turned around and yelled, raising his hand to suppress everyone's voices.When the surrounding area became quiet, he bowed flatteringly to Grandpa Yang and said, "Grandfather, I'm just waiting for you to speak!"

Taigong Yang supported his crutches, stood up slowly, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I have gathered all the big guys here today. I have something to announce. Everyone knows about the old Yang family. The old man and the clan Several people in the house discussed and decided that his uncle Baitian would take care of Nengwu in the future, and give Lin five buckets of food and a document to let her go out. The document has been written here. Lin stepped forward to take it, and we will be with us in the future Peach Blossom Village has nothing to do with it!"

After Yang Taigong finished speaking, because there were rumors of this in the village a few days ago, the villagers were not surprised, and the place was completely silent.Lin Jiao didn't turn her head, but she also felt that all kinds of eyes were shooting her back like searchlights.

"Grandpa, I don't want food, I can't take paperwork, and I won't leave Taohua Village either!"

Lin Jiao stepped forward slightly and said loudly.There was still a dead silence all around, but soon, there was a commotion in the big hall, and the people who reacted began to whisper.

In the row of people sitting at the gate of the ancestral hall, except for Yang Jingxuan who was expressionless, the people next to him were a little dazed.When he reacted, his complexion suddenly became ugly, and several old men looked at each other in blank dismay.Grandpa Yang had already sat down, but when he heard the words, he stood up again. He paused heavily on his crutches and said angrily, "Mrs. Lin, are you out of your mind? Didn't you make it clear when I called you yesterday? How come you still don't know me at this time?" Nonsense! Is it your duty to speak?"

Lin Jiao took another two steps forward, and when she reached Grandpa Yang, she said loudly, "With Grandpa Yang and the elders of the Yigan clan, I naturally dare not speak nonsense. Only Grandpa Yang said something, let's say it harshly. It's driving me to a dead end. Although I don't understand the truth, I also know that even the government must beheaded criminals, and there must be a court to try and convict them. No matter how confused I am, I dare not take my reputation and life back It's a matter, so I dare to ask clearly. Why did the grandpa and the elders drive me away?"

Grandpa Yang snorted and said, "You don't abide by women's morals and ruin the village customs. Who in the village doesn't know who doesn't know? Letting you go like this has already given the sky a big face. You don't know what is good or bad. Could it be really ugly?"

Lin Jiao said: "As the saying goes, if you catch a thief and take the stolen goods, if you catch an adulterer, you will be paired. To accuse me of such a crime, there must be real evidence. Who saw me stealing a man with his own eyes? Stand up and identify me! The adulterer is also included. If you get caught, don't tell me to walk, even if I'm immersed in a pig cage, I will never cry out for injustice! It's just like now, but I'm driven away with a few gossips that see the wind is rain, bad I am famous, even if I report it to the government, I am not afraid!"

When Lin Jiao talked about the adulterer, she bit her voice hard, and glanced at Yang Jingxuan, seeing that he still didn't look at her, but because of the close distance, she could clearly see the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitching rapidly.

The whispering and discussion in the big hall just now disappeared again.The villagers all stared at Lin Jiao with wide eyes, speechless in surprise.
