Lu Lizheng directly gave ten portions to Xu Lingyan and the others. In addition to two returns, the other Taoyuan Township cooks who helped also received half a tael of silver each.

"No, no, we can't accept this. We didn't help much this time. Instead, we learned a lot of cooking skills. Master Xu taught her so well. We don't give her money because she's being polite!"

In this way, Lu Lizheng saved a lot of money. After sending them away, the rest of the mess was waiting to be sorted out when he came back.

At the moment, none of the villagers were in a hurry to go home, but were waiting for them to go to the sixth uncle's house together. They were all talking, and some people even tried to persuade Lu Lizheng.

"You have become the head of a town now. If something bad happens, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact..."

The mayor came from their village, had good relations with the new county magistrate and even the prefect, and had a few hundred taels of silver at his disposal. Everyone hoped that Lu Lizheng would consider them more, and naturally they did not want him to suffer a loss in reputation.

Lu Lizheng glanced at them calmly, "I have my own opinion!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't know whether it was the change of identity or the change in his aura. They just felt that he was more difficult to offend and quickly said yes.

Xu Mengxiao saw it and smiled slightly. This is the charm of power.

The group of people came to the sixth uncle's house while it was still dark, and the sixth uncle had already made preparations.

At this time, many other uninvited villagers had already arrived at his door, including Mr. Zhou, Old Man Xu and others.

The Lu family can't go, so why not come here to watch the fun?

It's best for Lu Shi to be bolder and sue them immediately for killing their blood relatives, and then put them in jail!

Don't even think about becoming the mayor. The things in Xu Mengxiao's hands can also change hands.

Xu Mengxiao only glanced at them and saw the little Jiujiu in their bellies. She didn't know whether to call them vicious or innocent.

"Where's Lu Shi? What will happen to him? He's not pretending to be dead, right?"

Lu Shi, who was not pretending to be dead, was indeed so uncomfortable that he fell asleep on the bed, "..."

He also wanted to use this as a ploy to make everyone sympathize with their cruel and vicious sixth uncle, "..."

So this dead girl must have done it on purpose!

"Lu Shi has been sick for so long. He is indeed very uncomfortable. He may not be able to stand up for a while. I'm afraid it's not good. It's not going to be like what you said..."

Before anyone could feel pity, Xu Mengxiao said: "It's okay if he can't get up and fulfill what he said. There are also rat poison and daggers available here. He can choose one at will."

Xu Mengxiao immediately asked Lin Gui, who was traveling with him, to come out, and everyone saw that he was holding two large eating bowls in his hands.

"There is water in one bowl and rat poison in the other. There is only half a chance. If Lu Shi dares to choose one bowl and drink it, my master will fulfill her promise."

"On the other hand, if you drink the poisonous bowl, no, we also invited Mr. Cai here." Xu Mengxiao let Mr. Cai out again, but Mr. Cai's face didn't look good, and he felt that they were trying to take advantage of him. Life is a piece of cake!

No matter what the reason is, "gamble" in this way will increase the burden on their doctors.

Lu Shi was in good spirits today and heard what they said, but he was sweating and couldn't believe what Xu Mengxiao said.

This girl is a vicious woman, would she be so kind and consider so much for herself? !

Maybe she didn't intend to cure herself at all, or she might find an excuse or something to delay him from poisoning her to death directly, so that she would have nothing to do with her, and she could get rid of herself!

"Ah, it hurts..." He was originally weak, but because his thoughts were too active, the severe pain that Xu Mengxiao helped him suppress before broke out again.

He barely gave him a chance to pretend to be dead, and he jumped up from the bed, as if he was having a flashback.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you're not just pretending?"

Xu Mengxiao smiled secretly, "I think he's fine, isn't he? He's not sick at all. What on earth do you want to do, Uncle Six?"

Not to mention other people, Uncle Six himself found it strange, as if a dying old man who had been ill for many years could suddenly walk.

Not caring about answering, he hurriedly said tremblingly: "Cai, Mr. Cai, please take a look at it quickly. Isn't it because he has returned to his former glory?"

Doctor Cai frowned and stepped forward. His medical skills were naturally not as good as those of Xu Mengxiao and others. He only said: "It's not a reflection of the past. Maybe the severe pain will stimulate his actions."

Others couldn't explain the reason. The villagers couldn't understand, and they even thought that Lu Shi was pretending to be sick?

The people who had sympathized with him before suddenly shut up, or even started to urge him directly, "So what he said at the beginning, if he gets seriously ill, he will crash to death, will he not be a drag on his family? Do you want to fulfill it?"

"I don't know if others have been a drag on my family. Lu He's current performance is not a drag at all." Even though Lu He is low-key and unusual, some people still know that he has done a lot. Just teaching Xu Zihan to read is very meaningful. .

How calm and mature is that kid Zihan now? If you are young and wise, you may not be unable to earn a future in the future!

Thinking of this, Xu Mengxiao spoke more, "Hurry up, stop nagging! Now that you can stand up, you can fulfill your promise."

"I have never made such a promise to anyone. I have never even said such words. Xu Mengxiao deliberately framed me in order to kill me!"

Lu Shi held his head and wanted to roll over in pain. How could he remember what his sixth uncle had told him repeatedly before?

Uncle Six was secretly worried. He was thinking about the treatment fee that Xu Mengxiao mentioned, but he was also distressed and angry. "He's already like this. Can you please stop forcing him? It's not that he doesn't dare, but it's just that he's in too much pain!"

"No!" Xu Mengxiao said with a cold face, "He was in such pain and didn't want to die. He also wanted to drag his family down. Why did he open his mouth again and say that Lu He should die? Everyone has to answer for their own words and deeds. Pay the price!”

"You, you vicious woman, I will fight with you!" Lu Shi's eyes suddenly turned red and he rushed forward with a ferocious face.

The crowd exclaimed, and Zhou and others were secretly expecting something to happen to Xu Mengxiao. Unfortunately, before Lu Shi could get close, he was intercepted by a big hand and pushed away.

"Coward!"

Lu He!

Lu Shi saw his glorious appearance. Although he was still sick, how could he be looked down upon?

Not only did their family now have money to treat him, but he also had a good reputation.

Lu Shi was about to squeeze out some vicious words in an instant, and Lu He said calmly: "Since you don't dare to make a choice, I will accompany you to choose."

He asked Lin Gui to bring the two bowls of water over, "You choose one bowl and drink it, and I'll drink the remaining one."

"Lu He!"

"You're crazy!" people around shouted.

Lu Hai and Lu Lizheng were even more afraid that he would lose control, so they held his hands from left to right, "There's no reason to lose yourself."

"We know that you have never hindered your family. You don't have to prove anything just because of this person's words." Everyone said sympathetically, thinking that Lu He would do this because he must have been stimulated by Lu Shi.

Even Xu Mengxiao's expression changed, and she looked at the calm and unruffled man in shock. Did he understand her too well, or was he not afraid of death at all?

Lu Shi and Uncle Six were stunned for a moment, then sneered: "You prepared the things. You naturally know which bowls are poisonous and which ones are not. So you packed them up here."
