Lin Wenxiao led the people to the main room.
Lin Wenxiao's second sister glanced coldly at the hammer, put the tea heavily on the table, and spoke in a sinister tone: "Today is really an eye-opener. Things didn't get done. Instead of returning the money, I You even blackmailed us, Guo Lun, are these the friends you made outside?"
Guo Lun followed him in, his expression ugly.
Hammer didn't mind being embarrassed, he sat down without anyone noticing, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. After drinking, he turned to the second sister Lin with a playful smile and said: "As the saying goes, brothers should also share their accounts clearly. Previously, I only accepted I haven’t seen a penny of the 20 cents for running errands, and the 500 cents that Brother Guo promised me. Now that some of my brothers are in trouble, isn’t it only natural that I come to Brother Guo for compensation?”
Second Sister Lin turned pale with anger, "You! I think you are clearly acting rogue..."
"Second sister," Lin Wenxiao called out at the right time and said gently, "please go into the inner room to accompany your mother. The door was slammed and screamed just now. My mother was so frightened that her heart ached."
After hearing this, Second Sister Lin glared at the hammer, turned around and went into the back room.
Bangtou pulled the corner of his mouth, glanced at Lin Wenxiao in front of him and said slowly: "Scholar Lin, I respect you as a scholar, but I am not fooled. Don't try to blame me for your mother's heartache. My brothers and I suffered a big loss this time, so you Lin family have to show their respect no matter what happens, right?"
Guo Lun said angrily: "What does it have to do with me when you and your brothers suffer a loss?! What does it have to do with the Lin family?! Who can I blame if I don't have the ability?!"
"Okay, brother-in-law," Lin Wenxiao stopped Guo Lun's words and said calmly, "What will happen if we continue to argue like this? No matter what, this matter did happen because of you. We might as well listen to what he has to say first. After that, let’s try to figure out how to solve it.”
Hammer grinned and said: "I don't want much, just give me two taels of silver. Because I helped you investigate that Ming family lady, I have a home and can't go back. I have to have some money to eat and sleep, right?"
"Two taels?! Why don't you give me two taels first? I have a bruised nose and a swollen face and I have to spend money on medicine!" Guo Lun shouted in dissatisfaction.
Bangtou's expression was a bit gloomy, and he smiled softly, "Brother Guo means that he is going to turn his back on you, right?"
Before Guo Lun could speak, Lin Wenxiao held Guo Lun's shoulders and said with a slight smile: "If there is an account, it should be acknowledged. It's just that I really can't understand why the account you settled is on our Lin family." Understand, you said you can’t go back to your home now, why is that? No one has tied your legs and feet. You can go back at any time if you want. Where is the loss? Where do you need compensation? "
Hammer sneered and looked at Lin Wenxiao and Guo Lun coldly, "I think you really don't know."
Lin Wenxiao asked: "What don't you know?"
"Ha..." Hammer curled his lips contemptuously and looked at Guo Lun, "The Ming family's wife has been enlightened by the gods, but I listened to your words and thought she had made a fortune, so I took a few brothers to her house for a meal The search turned out to be good. I didn't find much money, but she offended the immortal. Now all my brothers have been taken away by her to open up wasteland. Do you think I dare to go back?"
Guo Lun blurted out and scolded: "I think you've been kicked in the head by a donkey! Those brothers of yours are so damn stupid! They just open up wasteland when asked. Don't you have legs?! Can't you run?!"
Bangtou was also annoyed, and stood up by slapping the table, "I think you are an idiot! She has the protection of gods, do you understand the magic of gods?! She can treat people docilely in front of the whole village! In her If you curse one more word in front of me, you will become mute!"
Guo Lun was extremely angry and laughed, "I think you are crazy. You would make up any big story just to extort money."
Hammer snorted, crossed his legs and sat down, "If you don't believe me, go find out for yourself! If I make up a lie, I will twist off my head and play it as a ball for you!"
"You!..." Seeing his precise words, Guo Lun became suspicious for a moment.
Lin Wenxiao was silent for a moment, then spoke softly: "Forcibly detaining people to work, this matter... should be reported to the police. If the county government officials come forward, they should be able to rescue your brothers."
Hammer rolled his eyes, "It's no use, they are all as stunned as demons, as well-behaved as dogs, and today the county magistrate just went to the village to visit the Ming family's wife. I saw it with my own eyes, and the county magistrate even bowed to her. "
Lin Wenxiao's long eyebrows frowned slightly, and his expression became more serious, "If this is the case, the matter may be serious..."
Langtou raised his eyelids and asked curiously: "How do you say it?"
Lin Wenxiao stood up, walked back and forth in the hall worriedly, and said, "I heard what you just said is very similar to a kind of witchcraft mentioned in the book. It is said that you only need to take a hair from a person." Casting spells can make people obedient like puppets. This kind of magic is not only harmful to people's lives, but also harmful to nature, so it has been strictly prohibited by the court. But you also said that the county magistrate is very respectful to her, isn't that..."
Guo Lun said in shock: "The county magistrate was also bewitched? Was he controlled by her?"
Bangtou's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and that fuzzy feeling resurfaced again, "You, you mean... the lady of the Ming family, she wasn't enlightened by gods, she was... she used evil magic?"
Lin Wenxiao sighed, "I'm not sure, but what you just said is indeed very similar to evil spirits."
Then he asked Hammer with concern: "Have you ever lost your hair or nails recently?"
Hammer's expression changed, "... Could it be, could it be that when we went to her house to search for things, a few hairs fell out, and she picked up our hair and cast a spell on it, so Brother Tie and the others were controlled by her?! Ah ...No wonder she can only control us and not others!"
Guo Lun also became dubious, "If this is the case, you really can't go back. Once you go back, you will be possessed by evil spirits! You will be controlled by her!"
Hammer was so frightened that his face turned even whiter!
Lin Wenxiao and Guo Lun were just guessing, but he was different. He saw with his own eyes how Hu Tie lost his freedom step by step!
Cold sweat broke out from his pores, and he couldn't help but shiver. He changed his arrogance before he came, looked at Lin Wenxiao and asked: "Then, what should I do..."
Lin Wenxiao frowned and said nothing, as if thinking about something.
Hammer suppressed his fear and stared at Lin Wenxiao with a pale face, "You are a scholar. They say that the scholar is the Wenqu star from the sky who descended to earth. You are definitely not afraid of her! Scholar Lin, you must save me! Me and my brothers We ended up in this situation because we were working for your Lin family! You, the Lin family, can't just sit back and watch!"
Lin Wenxiao finally spoke slowly: "There is only one way I can think of..."
