Chapter 40 You are the ones who should be expelled

 Zhang Dakui stood up and said righteously: "Village Chief, we in Fu'an Village will never tolerate people who steal chickens and dogs!"

When he blames others, he seems to have forgotten that he is the scum who often sneaks around.

"Let's go to Xia's house and search, maybe we can find other stolen goods."

"Yes, search for it. My four taels of silver must be hidden at her house." The lazy man agreed, and kicked the short man.

He looked embarrassed, but he also said: "Village Chief, search for it. If you don't find it, it can prove the innocence of their mother and son."

Zhang Cuicui looked proud and said, "Go dig in the corner, maybe you can find a surprise."

If she got money, she would most like to bury it in the soil.

Faced with everyone's attacks, Li Yunniang tried her best to explain at first, but when she heard that they were going to search her house and poach her, she suddenly panicked.

If the remaining silver is discovered, they will have no way of explaining it, no matter how many mouths they open.

At this time, Zhang Dakui took advantage of the situation, pushed Li Yunniang to the ground, and rushed towards the yard.

Seeing this, Xia Qianqian crossed the crowd and came forward with a machete.

She has slender arms and legs, and is wearing a drab gray skirt. Her slender waist seems to be broken with a pinch. She can even hold a knife to intimidate people.

Zhang Dakui didn't pay attention to her at all. He picked up a big branch from the ground, shined it on her face, and whipped her down.

Xia Qianqian's eyes turned cold and she dodged his attack. She raised the knife and slid it along Zhang Dakui's cheek.

Feeling a chill on his head, Zhang Dakui stepped back in fright, and wiped his hair with his hand.

The hair on the left side of his head was neatly shaved off, revealing his white scalp.

If the machete had been deflected a little further, he might not have been able to save his head.

Everyone was so frightened that they became silent.

In the corner, Ji Zimo's lips curled up, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.

She looked like she was fighting with him on the top of a green mountain.

Zhang Dakui was frightened, and Xu Jiang's heart was trembling. He took a step forward and said sternly: "Xia Qianqian, what do you want to do?"

"Village Chief, haven't you seen what they did?"

It’s really selective blindness.

A group of people bully orphans and widowed mothers, shouldn’t people be allowed to resist?

Xia Qianqian waved the knife in her hand with a fierce look in her eyes, "Believe it or not, if anyone dares to take a step forward again, I will make his blood splatter on the spot!"

"Xia Qianqian, have you eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts?"

Xu Jiang looked coldly, "Li Yunniang, if you can't control your daughter, I will order her to be driven out of Fu'an Village."

"Why should you expel me?"

Xia Qianqian was so angry that she looked at Zhang Dakui and others and asked: "They are the ones who framed us, and they should be the ones who should be driven away."

She asked Zhang Cuicui, "Tell me, when did your man meet me half a month ago?"

Zhang Cuicui made this up casually. When it was suddenly mentioned, her mind turned and she remembered the time when the man was detained that day, "the fourteenth of this month."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"But I remember that you came to my door on the 12th of this month and said that your man rowed a boat to the undercurrent area the night before. In order to save me from falling into the water, the boat was destroyed and everyone was injured."

Zhang Cuicui: "..."

Oops, how could she forget this incident?

"How do you explain that a person who cannot get off the kang can walk on the streets and drink heavily in Jiangcheng after only one day?"

"This..." Zhang Cuicui couldn't explain herself and wanted to slap herself a few times.

Xu Jiang’s face was as gloomy as if it was smeared with pot black.

Xia Qianqian turned around and asked the lazy man, "It is said that your door is broken and your mother asked you for money, but you can't even get out five hundred coppers?"

"Your mother borrowed money all over the village, but couldn't get it, so she went up the mountain to cut wood and repair the gate. As a result, she fell down and injured her leg. She didn't even have the 800 coins to see a doctor."

She smiled coldly and asked: "You are uneducated and have no skills. You live on the grain dug out of the ground all year round. Tell me how you got your four taels of silver."

The lazy man didn't expect that his old bottom would be cleaned up, and he was immediately speechless.

"As for you?"

Xia Qianqian came to the short man and asked, "Yesterday, you and I met. Where did we meet?"

"Yes...yes..."

The short man was intimidated by her aggressive eyes and stammered: "On the way to the riverside fields."

This girl goes to the riverside field every morning to chop bamboo, and everyone knows it.

"Haha!"

Xia Qianqian burst into laughter, "I went to Jiangcheng early in the morning, and I met Uncle Wang herding cattle at the entrance of the village."

"Excuse me, tell me how a person who didn't go to the river met you, how he bumped into you, how he stole your money!"

Her question was louder than her voice, and the short man lowered his head helplessly.

Xia Qianqian's eyes swept over the crowd, and she couldn't calm down for a moment. She raised her voice and asked word by word: "Why don't you explain the source of your money, but our money is still questioned and slandered if we explain the source?

Being framed..."

"Is it just because..."

She paused and her eyes slowly fell on Xu Jiang, "We orphans and widowed mothers are easy to bully."

Xu Jiang's face turned red when he was asked aggressively by a young girl.

The people who ate melons also had a stink on their faces and felt a little embarrassed.

"What this girl said seems to make sense."

"No."

"Listening to her talk, I feel like she is not stupid!"

"I don't think I can say anything to her."

"..."

Amid a burst of discussion, six men in Tsing Yi rode on horseback and escorted a carriage with a green tent on the avenue, coming with a "da da da" sound.

The crowd moved out of the way, and the Qing tent carriage stopped at the gate of the Xia family.

People were astonished when the car curtain opened a corner, and a man's deep voice came from inside the car, "Miss Xia, the medicine you prescribed is indeed good. Today, as a thank you, I sent something special."

While they were talking, several men got off their horses and carried several bags of things to the courtyard.

Someone with a sharp eye noticed that one of the bag mouths was open, revealing white rice.

Such a large bag of rice costs at least two taels of silver.

The things delivered to her house in front of her were more than ten taels of silver.

A group of people were all dumbfounded.

Xia Qianqian frowned slightly and threw the knife on the ground.

She moved slightly, came to the car window, and whispered: "I remember, you asked me to go to Yupin Pavilion to find you?"

"Yes, I said it." Ji Zimo glanced at the crowd, "Didn't you see that I was helping you out?"

"I don't need it!" Xia Qianqian suddenly refused.

"But I've already helped." His cold eyes fell on her face.

Xia Qianqian's heart trembled, "What did you do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people came from the avenue.

The leader is wearing golden armor and riding a tall horse. The lenses on his helmet reflect the dazzling luster under the sun.
