Chapter 106: Sister-in-law is knowledgeable and polite

"Because the village chief said he wanted to seek justice from you." "Me?" The fat man couldn't believe his ears. "Seek justice from me?" Is that old man tired of living?

"Yeah, isn't you Zhu's husband?" He Lingchuan laughed. "The village chief went to find him after calling you back."

The fat man didn't want to leave the room at all at this time, but he wasn't stupid, and he immediately figured out the problem, squinting at Zhu: "You say, what's going on?"

In fact, this approach had already violated Lu Han's instructions, the latter's original words were: let the villagers have less contact and talk with the government soldiers, so as not to reveal the truth.

But now, he felt that if he said one more word to He Lingchuan, he might lose control.

The fat man turned his back to He Lingchuan and gave Zhu a warning look.

Zhu Xiuer said expressionlessly: "The Lake God is a spiritual turtle, said to be at least three hundred years old. County Magistrate Village holds a small sacrifice every three months and a grand sacrifice every year. The spiritual turtle only allows villagers to enter the lake to fish once a week and forbids the use of fine-mesh nets, but it protects humans' safety in the water and ensures a bountiful harvest. By the way, the spiritual turtle is also skilled at divination; in the past, when villagers went to the Water Spirit shrine to draw lots, it was very accurate."

"In the past?" He Lingchuan became interested and temporarily changed the subject. "And then?"

"Too many villagers came to ask questions, and some even rushed from a hundred miles away, disturbing the Water Spirit's cultivation." Zhu replied, "The Water Spirit entrusted a dream to the village chief to express dissatisfaction, so the village chief hung up the bamboo tube and didn't allow people to ask anymore. Even if villagers secretly went to ask, or threw offerings into the lake, it was no longer effective. Slowly, everyone gave up on this heart."

So this is still an old turtle monster with a side job? "Then what happened to the spirit tablet today?"

"I passed by the Water Spirit Shrine this morning and found that the Water Spirit tablet was broken; the village chief thought I did it."

He Lingchuan was even more strange: "Why did the village chief determine it was you?"

"..." Zhu was silent for a while before saying, "Only I passed by this morning."

The fat man said angrily: "So it was you, this woman, who caused me trouble!"

Other companions were assigned villagers who were as docile as sheep, only he was unlucky, assigned to a troublemaker.

He Lingchuan asked him: "Don't you go to the village chief to defend yourself?"

The fat man had already thought about it: "The village chief is old, he must have gone to sleep by now, I'll go find him to theorize tomorrow morning."

Zhu suddenly asked: "Could the Water Spirit's tablet have broken by itself?"

He Lingchuan thought for a long while before saying: "If it broke by itself, it means the Water Spirit is in trouble, either seriously injured or fallen."

He suddenly asked the personal guard: "What do you think?"

The personal guard shook his head: "The little one doesn't know either."

The fat man slumped his face and pointed to the two personal guards and asked: "Wait, they are also staying here?" If they want to make a move at night, the difficulty has increased again.

"Personal guards, you know what personal means?" He Lingchuan was saying this when two servants came from outside, carrying bundles on their backs, and bowed to him as soon as they entered: "Young Master, we are here to make the bed."

Although He Lingchuan didn't care, when Lady Ying packed the family property in Heishuicheng, she still ordered people to bring the bedding of the two sons. The things outside are dirty, not as safe as using their own.

He Lingchuan took them into the inner room, just like the master.

Wang the fat man saw these people going in and out of the room, busy, as if he were the outsider, and couldn't help but sneer. This corrupt official family is so particular even in the poor mountain ditch; I don't know how much people's fat and ointment they have scraped.

While the servants were making the bed, He Lingchuan asked him: "Where is the second one staying?"

It was fortunate that this person knew he was referring to He Yue: "Young Master Two is sleeping in the second house near the lake in the south tonight."

The second one is also far away from him and his parents; this arrangement is hard to say is unintentional. "Why sleep so far away? We still have to talk at night. Change him to my side! I think this farmhouse opposite is very good, and it's spacious."

Such a big-hearted guest, only he can be. The He family members are all very polite, except for the eldest son. The servants are also used to it, and they will report to steward Old Mo after receiving the order; anyway, these are all ways for the steward to think of.

He Lingchuan asked again: "Is my family still in the room?"

"Governor-General and Lady are both there, Young Master Two is out."

He Lingchuan frowned: "Where?"

The personal guard left in the hall also said to Wang the fat man at this time: "Your family conditions are bitter, Young Master is willing to help. However, he can't sleep well when changing places. Seeing that sister-in-law is knowledgeable and polite, I don't know if she can chat with him for a few words?" After saying this, he placed a ten-tael silver ingot on the table.

Wang the fat man looked at this silver ingot, not knowing what to say for a while.

Does the little dog really take a fancy to Zhu?

But he understood that these two must not be alone, so he slapped the table hard, expressing just the right amount of anger: "What are you talking about! Take your silver and get out!"

"What's the rush?" He Lingchuan stood at the door of the inner room with his arms crossed. "Saying two words earns ten taels of silver; where else can you find such a good thing for me?"

The two servants behind him were very qualified, leaving Zhu's house and closing the door behind them.

"I won't let you stay here anymore!" Wang the fat man walked to the inner room, wanting to take the opportunity to throw his bedding out.

The two personal guards in the hall rushed forward and blocked him: "Don't move!"

Wang the fat man couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the personal guard away with one palm.

Even if he was slow, he knew that He Lingchuan was suspicious, otherwise why would anyone talk like this? What's the big deal about tearing his face? This little dog covets other people's wives, shouldn't he be beaten? The reason is on his side; even if the He corrupt official wants to favor him, he has to see what place this is.

Just at this time, Wang the fat man suddenly smelled a strange and extremely fishy stench!

That sour and refreshing energy, even if his own sweaty feet were covered in airtight boots for ten days and then held under his nose, it wouldn't be one-tenth of it.

Wang the fat man went up, bent over, and "wa-la" vomited.

At this time, any momentum, any posture, any vigilance were thrown to the clouds, his body instinct was the most honest.

The other personal guard rushed up and hit the fat man's back neck hard with the handle of his knife.

Theoretically, he should have fallen to the ground with one hit.

But this fat man was thick-skinned and didn't faint, although he was in severe physical discomfort, he knew to rush towards He Lingchuan, his two fat palms spread out, and went to choke his throat.

As long as he choked this kid and turned around, using him as a meat shield to block in front, the personal guards would definitely be afraid of the rat and not dare to move.

At the moment of rushing out, the ring on his ring finger even glowed with faint black light. This ring is called the Black Thorn Ring, made of the long teeth of the Black Thorn Wild Boar. While strengthening the owner's strength and injuring the opponent, it can also apply rot poison to the wound. If not treated in time, the muscles and bones will rapidly rot.

But after all, his breath was not smooth, his movements were half a beat slow, and Zhu had already grabbed the wooden cup from the table and splashed the half-cup of boiling water on his face.
