With everyone going and going, May passed in a blink of an eye.
It’s now time to pick apricots and peaches again in the East.
Yingbao didn't need to worry about it that time, the second cousin invited a few friends to start living.
The Jiang family and the villagers had already picked the mushrooms once, and now they have replanted them eastward.
Some villagers sold their excess strains to villagers in West Village.
As a result, there were several more households living in the West Village on the south slope, including Chen Laoshuan's family.
Yes, Chen Laoshuan seemed to have figured it out after the flood, and spent a lot of money to hire people to build five large tile-roofed houses on the south slope.
The house was built on the field owned by the younger son Chen Changhai.
It had just been built and the plaster had not even dried. Chen Laoshuan, his wife, Xu Bao, Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian came to live there.
However, when Ying Bao went out to dig herbs, she often saw Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian taking their younger brother Xu Bao to play in Dongchen Village. Sometimes they would go to the martial arts training ground and stay there for half a day.
Ying Bao was puzzled. She didn't understand why they were so free. Could it be that they didn't go to the medicine hall to be apprentices?
What's even more outrageous is that those two idiots took Xu Bao to their orchard and asked Jiang Quan for apricots and peaches, and their second cousin actually gave them to them.
Ying Bao originally wanted to warn her second cousin, but thought about it and decided not to.
She begged to see what they wanted to do as they circled around her house.
But before she could figure it out, a large group of guards suddenly came to the village, and the leader was none other than Xiao Mo.
Coming with him was Cao Shen, the county lieutenant of this county.
"Where is the village center of Dongchen Village?" Cao Shen rode on his horse and looked at the villagers watching the excitement.
Jiang Sanlang happened to be at home and ran out immediately after hearing someone's message.
When he saw Cao Shen at a glance, he hurriedly bowed in front of him: "Jiang Sanlang, the village chief of Dongchen Village, has met Cao Guanren."
Cao Shen raised Dongba and said, "A villager named Chen in my village sells poison to poison noble people. Do I know?"
Jiang Sanlang was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "A villager named Chen sells poison? Who is it? Official Cao please make it clear."
Cao Shen snorted, turned around and said, "I'll come over and tell him!"
A man emerged from among the soldiers, a servant named Aqiu.
He arched his legs towards Cao Shen and then said to Jiang Sanlang: "Two months ago, the master of the slave family paid a high price to buy more than ten kilograms of mushrooms from the Chen clan leader's family. Who knew that they had ulterior motives and actually sold the toadstool mushrooms to us."
"Chang Li's family sells mushrooms to us?" Jiang Sanlang didn't believe it at all: "Why?"
Every last bit of mushrooms in their village was sold to Furifeng Trading Company, where Manager Zhou worked, including some of the Jiang family's golden ears.
Where did that person buy the mushrooms? He couldn't be here to blackmail people, right?
"Why not? Is it true that Patriarch Chen's daughter-in-law sold it to us?"
Ah Qiu said firmly: "If you don't believe me, call them here and we will confront them."
Jiang Sanlang frowned and asked a villager to call Patriarch Chen and his daughter-in-law over.
After a while, Patriarch Chen hurried over, closely followed by Chen Zhu and Chen Zhu's daughter-in-law, Shao.
"Sanlang, what happened?" Patriarch Chen was startled when he heard someone said that his daughter-in-law was selling toadstools to them, and he hurried over.
Chen Zhu was worried about his father, so he and his wife followed him.
Jiang Sanlang: "That person said that my daughter-in-law sells toadstools."
"What's the matter?" Patriarch Chen glanced at the Shaw family and shook his head: "His daughter-in-law has done her duty. When did she sell toadstools? Ah Qiu, I can't talk nonsense."
Ah Qiu was anxious: "Clan Chief Chen, I swore to you that you would marry my daughter-in-law. That day our carriage passed by my house, and my second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han, stopped us and shut us up, saying that she had mushrooms in her legs and begged to sell them to the slave master.
"
Patriarch Chen was stunned.
Han family! Not Han family!
He was almost pissed off by that stupid thing.
Cao Shen said: "Clan Chief Chen, please hand over this person quickly, so that we can hand him over as soon as possible."
Patriarch Chen's legs were shaking. He turned around and said to his younger son, "Go and call my second sister-in-law quickly."
Can I affect my whole family because of a Han family?
As soon as Chen Zhu ran to call for someone, he heard Xiao Mo say: "Since the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to delay any more. Lieutenant Cao can send people to capture them all."
Cao Shen:......
Looking around, Cao County Lieutenant ordered the county soldiers he brought: "Let that man lead the way and capture the criminals and their families. Be sure not to let anyone go!"
"No!" More than a dozen county soldiers immediately followed Chen Zhu and ran towards Shandong.
Jiang Sanlang looked solemn. He wanted to ask Patriarch Chen what was going on, but he held back.
When he heard that his family members were also being arrested, Patriarch Chen was stunned and quickly complained: "A high official, one person does the work for the other, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the Chen family."
Chen Fu couldn't figure out what happened, so he asked Xiao Mo from Fucheng to come and arrest him personally, and soon the whole family was arrested.
Xiao Mo ignored him and turned to Jiang Sanlang and said: "Xiao will not only come to arrest the criminals tomorrow, but also ask Jiang Cunzheng to help with something."
Jiang Sanlang felt his scalp numb, "Commander Xiao, you are polite. I can help you with anything. If you need anything, just ask me."
Xiao Mo: "I have been ordered by my superiors to find a child with medical skills. I see that my Yingbao has good medical skills and wants to tell me that Mingyue will take her to Beijing to treat the noble man."
"No! His daughter is only a few years old. How can she treat people's illnesses? Official Xiao, please take a closer look." Jiang Sanlang arched his legs towards Xiao Mo and said.
Xiao Mo did not comment, and quietly glanced at Jiang Sanlang and everyone.
Soon, Patriarch Chen's eldest son's family and his second son's family were brought, and even Chen Boyuan, who had difficulty walking, was carried over.
Ah Qiu pointed at Han Miaoniang and Cao Shen, the county lieutenant, and said, "Why don't she sell toadstools to us?"
Han Miaoniang was frightened and exclaimed: "He doesn't have any toadstools. That's not the golden ear we grow at home. How can it be a toadstool?"
Cao Shen sneered and waved his leg: "Take them in the prison car!"
The soldiers shouted and surrounded them, revealing two large prison wagons pulled by two horses.
Amid the screams of Patriarch Chen and his family, the soldiers picked them up one by one and put them into the prison van.
The Nadong villagers rioted, and someone shouted: "Why should we arrest people?"
"Let them out quickly!"
"What crime have they committed! We beg them all to be arrested?"
After all, Patriarch Chen is the backbone of the family and the Chen family’s face. Once the Patriarch is caught, their Chen family’s reputation will be ruined. How can they hold their heads high in front of outsiders?
Upon seeing this, Xiao Mo signaled to Cao Shen: "Let Patriarch Chen and his wife go free, and the rest will be brought back to the county government for trial."
As a result, Patriarch Chen and his old wife were taken out of the prison car and thrown aside.
"Dad! Daddy! Save him! Save him!" Han Miaoniang kept shouting with her face turning pale with fright.
Now she is more frightened than anyone else, because she knows that there must be something wrong with her golden ears, causing the nobleman to suffer from something wrong.
Maybe the noble person had been eaten to death, so those people came to arrest their family.
But she really didn't know that the thing would kill people. If she didn't know, even if she had given her a thousand taels of silver, she wouldn't dare sell it to others.
Han Miaoniang grabbed the wooden fence and shouted: "Did the Jiang family harm him? Or was there something wrong with the inoculum the Jiang family gave him, that's why he was like that? He was wronged! Officials! They were wronged! If you want to be arrested, arrest the Jiang family."
