Farmer's Favorite

The price of letting the charcoal cake go to bed is to be woken up the next morning.

Zhuang Xinyan moved the charcoal cake on his body to the side, and he didn't know how the dog fell asleep from his feet.

"Woo." Charcoal Cake whimpered, raised her eyes and squinted her eyes, and buried her head next to Lin Qi, and soon there was a small snoring sound.

Zhuang Xinyan put his hands on the charcoal cake, there was already a glimmer of light outside the window, he fell asleep for a while, then got up.

When getting dressed, Lin Qi supported his upper body, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Why so early?"

Zhuang Xinyan stepped forward and kissed the little husband on the lips. He said, "I have to go to town today. The Zhou family's business should be settled."

Lin Qiben's hazy eyes immediately became clear.

The matter of the Zhou family really needs to be resolved.

He even knows the process of solving it clearly.

Likewise, he trusts men to take care of everything.

Suddenly, he found that he was not as uneasy as he used to be, but instead had a desire to watch the excitement.

This change made him a little stunned. When he came back to his senses, the figure of the man disappeared. After thinking about it for a while, he finally lay down and continued to sleep with Ke Ke and Charcoal Cake.

The Zhou family is considered an aristocratic family in Genshan Town.

It's just that the family background is big, and the fact that the people don't fight with the officials is inevitable no matter for any family.

That is today.

A group of officers and soldiers ushered in at the gate of Zhou's house.

In the morning, there were not many people coming and going on this street.

It's just that the gate of Zhou's house was closed tightly, but the officials outside didn't call the door, and just waited outside.

Until, there were too many people coming and going, and they all stopped to watch the bustle. There must be a lot of noise from the crowd. The gatekeeper of the Zhou family heard the sound and opened the door. As a result, he fell to the ground in shock when he saw it. , quickly turned around and headed towards the inner courtyard.

After a while, the two brothers of the Zhou family came out in a panic. Seeing the crowd, Zhou Yingshi quickly showed a flattering smile, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, do you know what you are waiting for at the door?"

Zhao Bin held a sword in his hand, without the harmony of the past, he snorted coldly: "Your Zhou family committed a crime, and now you are asking me what's wrong?"

Zhou Yingshi was shocked in his heart, but his face was extremely shocked. He said: "My lord, is there some misunderstanding? The members of our Zhou family have always obeyed the laws and regulations, and it is absolutely impossible to commit crimes. Why don't you tell me what the problem is?" You have to give grassroots a chance to defend yourself, right?"

After finishing speaking, he gave his elder brother a look and asked him to talk.

It's okay, Zhou Jinshi clenched his fists tightly and kept silent.

On the contrary, Mrs. Han and a middle-aged lady hurried out of the room. She looked at the crowd and hurried forward and said, "My lord, no matter what it is, why don't we go inside and talk about it?"

Zhou Yingshi followed closely to persuade.

Then, he saw Zhao Bin turned his head slightly and asked what the other person meant.

And that person was none other than Zhuang Xinyan from Xishan Village.

Zhuang Xinyan is not an official, but came with the official messenger, and looking at this posture, I am afraid that the official sent this time is for the affairs of Xishan Village.

"Okay, let's go in first."

Zhao Bin stretched out his hand to signal, and a group of people entered the gate of Zhou's house.

Zhou Yingshi looked at the people who entered the door, and he didn't feel any joy in his heart. If it was really for Xishan Village, then there were only two items.

One is to deceive Lin Dong, pretending to come to recognize relatives.

One more thing is...

Zhou Yingshi's expression froze. Today's matter may be very difficult. The only thing he has to do is to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it. In this way, if everyone is dead, who can confess their crimes?

In this way, he turned his head slightly and gave his elder brother another look.

However, he never expected that the elder brother, a coward, entered the lobby and immediately knelt down on his knees and shouted: "Your Excellency, you are wronged. The gunpowder incident in Xishan Village was definitely not done by us."

"Oh?" Zhao Bin smiled, and said, "We haven't said anything yet, but you started to yell. Did I say that you were responsible for the gunpowder incident in Xishan Village?"

Zhou Yingshi was in a hurry, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, my elder brother was impatient for a while, after all, everyone in the town knew about such a big incident in Xishan Village, so it is inevitable that they would have doubts."

Even he is so suspicious.

After all, it was only to deceive a villager, and it was not his turn to alarm the officials.

At this time, Zhuang Xinyan was sitting on the chair. He reached out and picked a grape on the table, and said with a smile, "Master Tuesday, you may have misunderstood. We are here now because of Lin Dong, or about Mo Dong."

"Boss Zhuang, I think there is also a misunderstanding about this matter. We really thought that Lin Dong was our nephew Youer, otherwise we wouldn't have given away the secret recipe at home for free." Zhou Yingshi said with a smile on his face. With sadness.

At this time, Han also took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face.

The siblings next to her even supported him to comfort him.

Zhuang Xinyan put the grapes in his mouth, his brows were raised slightly, a little sour.

Immediately, he said: "Master Tuesday, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Mo Dong is indeed You'er, but he is not born of the Han family. As for how he came, I think you also know."

Zhou Yingshi looked at Zhuang Xinyan, and then at Zhao Bin who was beside him.

He simply gritted his teeth and admitted, "There is nothing wrong with that. My elder brother has been married for many years and has not had a child. There have been some rumors and gossips outside. In desperation, he bought a child outside."

Zhao Bin sneered when he heard this.

The corner of Zhuang Xinyan's mouth curled up with a hint of coldness: "That's really unfortunate. The person who sent you the child back then has already confessed, but their statement is slightly different from yours. They didn't buy it but stole it. Choose a child , directly went up and stole it back."

"impossible."

"It's not like this."

Two voices came out at the same time, both Zhou Yingshi and Han immediately denied it.

Not to mention that they have never done this kind of thing, and once they are convicted of this crime, they will definitely be imprisoned.

Zhao Bin took a step forward, took out two pieces of paper, and said, "One is the confession letter of that person back then, and the other is the correspondence between one of you and this person back then, which already stated what happened. , I don’t think you will deny this person’s notes.”

Zhou Yingshi didn't go up to look right away, but glanced at the people around him.

His eyes swept across Han's, his daughter-in-law, and then his elder brother.

It was at this moment that his heart skipped a beat.

I saw the panic on the elder brother's face, the incident that the official sent said may be true.

He hated that such an important thing could be kept by one person for so many years.

But at the same time, he suddenly had another idea in his mind.

Although he secretly manages the Zhou family's grain and oil shop, but on the surface it is the elder brother who is in charge. He has long been dissatisfied in his heart, so why not take this opportunity to let the elder brother be imprisoned.

In this way, the person in charge of the Zhou family will only be him.

Although the two have no parents above them, there are other members of the Zhou family. It is God's help to take advantage of this reasonable opportunity to obtain the qualification to take power.

Thinking in this way, he didn't open his mouth to excuse, but a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face.

Instead, Mrs. Han argued loudly: "Impossible. We bought Lin Dong from that person at the beginning. It is impossible for us to let people steal it. There are so many children in this world. We don't need to let people steal one at all." .”

This argument is very reasonable.

But today, Zhuang Xinyan didn't come to reason with them.

He got up, took out a piece of paper from Zhao Bing's hand and put it in Han's hand, he said with a smile: "Then Madam Han, look, can you recognize this person's handwriting?"

Han looked down and recognized it at a glance.

This is Zhou Jinshi's handwriting.

With astonishment on her face, she murmured, "How is it possible?"

What happened that year was clearly arranged by her, and she was looking for a very secretive child abductor, who happened to have Lin Dong in his hands, and she saw that she was of a suitable age and looked good, so she hugged her back.

But why?Now it has become like this?

"How is this..." Zhou Yingshi glanced at him, pretending to be surprised, and was about to point out his eldest brother.

But his words were interrupted by Zhuang Xinyan, he said: "Speaking of which, the Lin family wants to take care of your interests. After all, you came up with the prescription of Qingyou. Anyway, we have to pay back this love."

While talking, Zhuang Xinyan walked up to Zhou Yingshi, patted Zhou Yingshi on the shoulder, and said with a hooked corner of his mouth: "I heard from Baocheng that this matter is still Master Tuesday's idea, how about it, I accept your favor." In the case of Mo Dong being stolen, the Zhou family has to cast out a sinner, and this candidate will be chosen by Master Tuesday."

Zhou Yingshi narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Literally, Master Zhou is so smart, how could he not understand." Zhuang Xinyan pointed a finger in front of him while speaking, and said with a smile: "One is enough, you choose."

One is enough.

To introduce a sinner from the Zhou family, it is natural to choose one of Zhou Jinshi and the Han family.

Zhuang Xinyan was curious about how Zhou Yingshi would choose.

Although he didn't know much about the Zhou family's affairs, he could hear some from Zhou Jinshi's mouth that day.

The lonely and widow in the words, in order to avenge Zhou Yingshi, would rather drag the entire Zhou family into trouble regardless of his wife and the son he had finally hoped for.

The reason for this, Zhuang Xinyan really thought it was easy to guess.

So, now that this question is out, he really wants to know how Zhou Yingshi will choose.
