Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Village Chief Lu stomped his feet in resentment, gnashed his teeth and pointed at Lu Xiang and cursed Dao:
"I knew you were a shameful jealous woman, but I never thought that you are not only jealous, but also a heinous and vicious woman!"

"Tell me, why did you poison Lu Cui's family of thirteen to death? What enmity do they have with you!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiang's body trembled suddenly, and he was stunned, as if he had gone stupid.

"Mr. Lu, are you making a mistake? My wife is gentle and kind by nature. She is definitely not the kind of person with a vicious heart. I think you must be making a mistake, right?"

With an expression of disbelief, Mazi hastily explained for his daughter-in-law.

"Whether I made a mistake, you can see for yourself!"

Village head Lu angrily threw the paper Zhao Qian gave him on Mazi's face.

Mazi quickly picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

After a while, his face turned blue and red, and finally he fell down on the ground, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Although he didn't recognize many characters here, he still figured out what was written on the paper based on the few characters he could recognize!
"What Village Chief Lu said is true?!"

Mazi raised his head, stared fixedly at Lu Xiang, and said with a sad face.

"I do not have!"

When Lu Xiang heard the words, she immediately denied it, with a look of panic flashing on her face, and she avoided pockmarked eyes with a guilty conscience.

"you have not?"

After hearing this, Mazi was furious, and approached Lu Xiang step by step, his eyes were full of anger:
"You didn't, so how did the thirteen members of Lu Cui's family die?"

"You didn't, so how could they have the wild boar and rice you sent in their stomachs?"

Seeing this, Lu Xiang backed away in a panic, with a frightened look in her eyes, and stammered to explain to Mazi:

"I didn't give it to them. It was what Lu Cui wanted for herself. Besides, I don't know what happened. It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I was wronged!"

"Injustice? Oh, do you still want to say that the evidence of the official is false?"

Mazi looked at Lu Xiang who was begging so hard, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of the evidence in his hand, he couldn't get angry in one place.

"The evidence doesn't count at all! You say that I poisoned Lu Cui's family to death, well, tell me how I poisoned them to death?"

Lu Xiang's heart broke, she simply wiped away her tears, and started to argue for herself.

"They were poisoned to death by poisonous salt, as the author can attest."

Zhao Qian said coldly.

"Did I give the salt to poison them?"

"This……"

Lu Xiang's rhetorical question knocked everyone down.

Seeing this, she continued to question:
"Without evidence, why do you conclude that I poisoned their family of thirteen?"

"We heard with your own ears that the meat is marinated, and it can be put directly into the pot."

Aunt Cheng said.

Lu Xiang sneered and said:

"What about the evidence? Show me the evidence, and I'll plead guilty, otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't plead guilty!"

This woman is really eloquent!
Black can be called white by her.

Lin Xiao couldn't help admiring Lu Xiang secretly.

No wonder the two idiots, Mazi and Lin Da, were being played around by her!
"What a sharp mouth!"

Luo Ping walked in briskly, followed by a middle-aged man carrying a bamboo basket.

"Lieutenant Luo, why are you here?"

Zhao Qian couldn't help being taken aback when he saw him.

Why is Luo Ping here?
"I was entrusted by someone, and I came here to give you evidence!"

It seems that Lin Xiao has an unusual relationship with Bai Zhancheng, the God of War general, and even the lieutenant beside him sent to help, which shows its importance.

Could it be that Bai Zhancheng wanted to recruit Lin Xiao to him?
Zhao Qian guessed in his heart.

Hearing this, Lu Xiang's face changed slightly, and his eyes flickered a little.

"What evidence? Take it out and see!"

When Lin Xiao heard that Luo Ping had evidence, his eyes lit up, and his heart was full of anticipation.

"This is the village chief Shi of Shijia Village."

Luo Ping pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and introduced.

"It turned out to be the head of Shicun Village. It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you."

The village head and Lu village head quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Mr. Shi, please excuse me."

Luo Ping nodded to him politely.

"It should be, this is the responsibility."

Village Chief Shi waved his hands again and again, with a respectful look.

"The thirteen members of Shi Dahui's family in our village passed away suddenly a few days ago. After inspection by the officials sent by the government, it was confirmed that they died from eating poisonous salt."

"Major Shi, I would like to ask, how is the financial situation of Shi Dachui's family?"

Lin Xiao bowed his hands to Village Chief Shi and asked.

"Not good, very bad!"

Village Chief Shi sighed, shook his head, and said solemnly:
"Shi Dachui and his wife are not in good health. His two sons also have tuberculosis, so they can't do heavy work. There are a lot of people in the family. It is common for them to have one meal every three days."

"With such poor economic conditions, can you afford wild pork and rice?"

Lin Xiao frowned.

"Wild pork and white rice?? Don't be ridiculous, their family can't even afford bran!"

After getting the answer, Lin Xiao looked at Lu Xiang, his tone full of pity:

"What else do you have to say?!"

"I admit that I gave Lu Cui wild pork and rice, but when I gave them to her, they were clean and non-toxic! Who knows if they ate the poisonous salt you made?!"

Lu Xiang argued forcefully, and while talking, looked at Mazi, as if he wanted to put pressure on Mazi, hoping that he could help him for the sake of the husband and wife.

But Mazi glanced at Lu Xiang in disgust, and was not moved at all.

He was so disappointed in her!

"They can't even afford bran, how can they have money to buy salt?!"

Yu Xilin glanced at Lu Xiang with disdain, and said sarcastically.

"This... this... it's not me! I didn't kill anyone!"

Lu Xiang was left speechless by Yu Xilin's words, faltering, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend herself.

"Hey, doesn't this bamboo basket belong to Mazi's family? How could it be in the hands of Village Chief Lu?"

Lan Lian, who came out of the kitchen, looked at the bamboo basket carried by Village Chief Lu with doubts in her eyes.

"You mean this basket?"

Village head Lu put the bamboo basket on the table:
"I just found this from Shi Dahui's house. There is a piece of dried wild boar in it. I thought it would be useful, so I brought it along with me."

While speaking, Village Chief Lu lifted off the blue cloth covering the bamboo basket, and there was a small half of wild boar lying quietly inside.

The boar meat was covered with a thick layer of oil, obviously pickled.

When Lu Xiang saw the wild boar meat, his face instantly turned pale, and he swayed a few times, almost falling over.

"Is this basket yours?"

Village Chief Lu looked at her and asked suspiciously.

Lu Xiang shook her head, her expression a little dazed.

"So, this basket doesn't belong to your family anymore?"

Luo Ping frowned.
