The county magistrate organized his troops and prepared to leave.
Xiao Mu glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that among the people brought by the county magistrate, there were two people who were looking out for Xu Zhongyuan in front of Xu's study that day.
This Liu Mian, hasn't he noticed anything wrong with them until now?
Xiao Mu pointed at the two people to County Magistrate Liu and said, "There is something wrong with these two people."
Liu Mian took a look and found that these two people rarely appeared in front of his eyes. They were handymen in the county government.
They are only used when there is not enough manpower.
This is strange, how did Xiao Mu know them?
"How did you know there was a problem?" the county magistrate asked.
"It's all a coincidence!" Xiao Mu compiled without changing his expression:
"I went to buy tofu that day, and I happened to see two of them fighting over the tofu beauty. One of them said that the other had taken advantage of Xu Zhongyuan."
After Xiao Mu said it, he felt funny.
It's really easy for me to lie now.
However, this is not a lie. At most, it is just reversing the cause and effect of the matter.
"real?"
Liu Mian was shocked.
He didn't expect that Xu Zhongyuan's hand would stretch so long.
He locked his eyes on the two people, "When I go back, I will definitely ask them about the good things they have done."
Xu Zhongyuan was arrested, Ma San and Zhao Wu were frightened.
Now that the county magistrate looked over, they both tensed up and didn't know how to release their hands.
Especially Ma San.
It was as if he had been caught red-handed for doing something bad.
After the county magistrate withdrew his gaze, he immediately walked to the roadside and threw something into the nearby grass while no one was paying attention.
None of his companions noticed his movements, and they shouted to each other to get ready to go.
Xiao Mu saw everything.
After the county magistrate and his party walked away, Xiao Mu walked to the grass just now, bent down, and picked up a cloth bag from inside.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing special in the bag, just a few pieces of silver and a book.
The two words "Book of Changes" are written on the cover of the book.
Xiao Mu found it interesting that such a person would actually study the Book of Changes.
He flipped through two pages at random until he saw the content clearly, and the expression on his face immediately changed.
In this book, there are actually many intimate gestures between men and women.
The postures are drawn in great detail, and some even have lifelike expressions on their faces.
Xiao Mu took another look, his ears turned red when he saw the unheard of gesture.
Fortunately there was no one around.
Xiao Mu raised his hand to throw away the book, but his hand seemed to be out of control. After hesitating for a few times, he put the book back into the bag and put it into his arms.
The villagers still gathered in front of Xiao's house to ask about today's events.
Xiao Changhe himself was confused. The Xu family's father and son left just as quickly as they came.
Fortunately, the county magistrate came in time, otherwise I really don’t know how it would end.
In another circle.
Li Zheng was still immersed in the situation where he had just kicked his servant and couldn't get out of it.
Several women gathered around her and praised her.
Seven or eight young people followed him, asking him how he used the kick he just defeated.
"Uncle Li Zheng, can you teach me!"
"Teach me too."
Several young people sincerely asked for advice.
"What's so difficult about this? Just look in the direction of the enemy and raise your legs like this..."
Satsuma kicks again.
As a result, he twisted his body and almost missed his waist.
He quickly changed his words: "Hey, this thing, it was the reaction at that moment. It will naturally happen when you encounter danger."
The young people looked at each other and dispersed in confusion.
It gets dark little by little.
The villagers finally went back.
The yard was almost tidied up, and Xiao Changhe's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Although there were some twists and turns in today's Shangliang Banquet, the result was good. There were no near misses, and our family's life will be the same in the future."
Xu Zhengxiang nodded in agreement, "I just don't know if anything will happen to the Xu family father and son."
Xiao Mu: "Mom, didn't the county master say today that people have been sent to check on the Xu family. I think the Xu family is fine. Let's wait for the results."
Three days later.
Another carriage came to the village.
Now everyone in the village is used to it.
Whenever a carriage appears at the entrance of the village, it is assumed that it is coming to Xiao Changhe's house.
If you are close to Xiao's house, you can stand directly at the door of Xiao's house, find the most advantageous position, and wait for a while to watch the excitement.
The carriage arrived at the door of Xiao's house and stopped as expected.
The person who got out of the car was none other than Xu Cai, who had been locked up a few days ago.
Xu Cai didn't say anything after getting out of the car. He knelt at the door of Xiao's house and burst into tears.
Xu Zhengxiang was the first to run out of the yard. When she saw Xu Cai, she immediately called him up and asked with concern: "What's wrong with this child? Why is he crying so sadly?"
Xu Cai wiped his tears and looked at Xu Zhengxiang's voice choked with sobs: "Auntie, I thought I would never see you again!"
"You kid, aren't you coming out? Just come out, just come out!"
After saying that, Xu Zhengxiang looked at the car and asked, "Why are you alone? Where is your father?"
"My dad's case is not over yet. The county magistrate said he was fine and asked me to come here and wait for him."
Seeing that his task had been completed, the coachman bowed his hands to Xu Cai and drove the carriage away.
Xu Cai stood up with Xu Zhengxiang's help.
Asked: "Aunt Xiao, can I continue to live in your house?"
"Just stay!"
Xu Zhengxiang said simply: "Our new house has been built, and there is nothing else. There are enough empty rooms."
Xu Cai was stunned when he heard this, "The house has been built? Then what should I do in exchange for food?"
"You kid!" Xu Zhengxiang said happily, "My eldest wife's family is not short of food for you. Since the magistrate asked you to come, you should stay here well."
…
Life in the village is leisurely and quiet.
The waves and clouds in the city are strange, and it seems that the world has changed overnight.
But the people in the village didn't notice it at all.
Xu Cai couldn't do the work in the fields, and women were doing the cutting of pig grass, so Xu Zhengxiang simply arranged for him to go out and let the geese eat grass.
Some time ago, Xiao Changhe bought ten goose seedlings for his family.
The gosling is not big and has not shed its down yet.
Xu Cai held a stick in his hand and walked behind the goslings, driving them to places with abundant green grass to eat. After they were full, they rushed home.
After five days, these goslings were already familiar with Xu Cai. There was no need to rush them. They would follow Xu Cai wherever he went.
The dignified son of the Xu family became the leader of the goose overnight.
