Not far behind the two, a hunchbacked old lady leaning on a wooden stick stood by the wall for a while, then turned and walked back.

In addition to receiving a birthday gift from the family, Yin Miao also received a wooden box from Xiao Xuan. Yin Miao, who originally thought it was a jade again, was stunned after opening the wooden box.

It was an exquisite dagger, or it could be called a short knife. The center of the scabbard was a very eye-catching piece of gold inlaid with jade. After the blade was pulled out, it reflected a slight cold light and looked extremely sharp.

Yin Miao fell in love with this knife instantly.

"Thank you Young Master Xiao, I like it very much." Yin Miao said to Xiao Xuan who rarely ate with them.

"As long as you like it."

Xiao Xuan also had a smile in his eyes. This was the second time he had given her a short knife. He could tell that she really liked it this time.

"Let Young Master Xiao spend the money."

Yin Bowu knew at a glance that it was a valuable knife, but Xiao Xuan was able to find such a thing in this mountain, and his eyes could not help but flash a gleam.

"If Miss Yin likes it, it's not a waste of money."

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he coughed again.

"I saw that the medicinal meal was very useful last time, why don't I prepare some more for Young Master Xiao?"

Weiss asked with concern.

"I'm sorry to bother Mrs. Wei, but I can't get better in a day or two."

Xiao Xuan's expression did not change.

Wei Shi nodded, but he didn't give up the plan to make medicated meals. After all, the last time Miao'er brought it back, the bowl was empty.

The family was chatting happily when there was a slight knock on the door.

"I gonna go see."

Yin He knew that the uncle and the third uncle should not show up at this time, so he jumped out of the chair.

Yin Zhenghong also hurriedly followed.

Wei Shi suddenly became nervous. She stood at the entrance of the hall from a distance and looked out of the courtyard. She found that the person coming was Granny Zhang from the village, and she felt relieved.

"Mother Zhang?"

Yin Miao still remembered the extremely thin and thin Granny Zhang, who would stuff a few small taro to her every time.

Yin Zhenghong was still outside the door, but Yin He quickly ran back with a serious face and said, "Uncle, Granny Zhang just said that Sun Heshun is going to report you to the official officer, and the official officer should already know about it now."

"what?!"

Yin Bowen was so shocked that he almost slipped off his chair. Is it Sun Heshun again?

"Then what should we do now? Why don't you hide first?"

Wei Shi and his two sister-in-law are a little confused.

"Don't worry, mother, even if the official is going to come over, it should pass through Lizheng first. Let's go to inquire about the news first."

Yin Miao comforted and said that the people who should come will always come, but no matter what, they cannot let the officials take away Yin Bowu and the others.

After hearing what Sun Heshun said, Lu Cunxin did not rush to arrest people, but continued to look at the quality of the food delivered. Generally, as long as the food was not mixed with too much debris, he would turn a blind eye. Just let it go.

"I know what you said. I'll ask Wei Lizheng for confirmation later."

Lu Cunxin only glanced at Sun Heshun and replied without raising his head.

"Sir, what I said is true. Those people from their family fled to our village overnight, and two of them murdered without blinking an eye!"

Sun Heshun didn't get the response he expected, and continued to add fuel to his words.

When it comes to killing people without blinking an eye, Lu Cunxin has to take it seriously. Could it be that there is some kind of murderer who can't do it?

Sun Lian was lying on the wall not far away, looking at Sun Heshun with two officials walking towards Wei Lizheng's house with a face full of surprise, and she couldn't help but get excited.

Those officials believed it! They're going to arrest people!

And when Wei Li, who had been in the courtyard, saw Sun Heshun following, he knew something was wrong.

"Wei Lizheng, is what the villager said just now true?"

Lu Cunxin asked sharply.

Wei Lizheng could not wait to beat the troubled Sun Heshun, but he also knew that he couldn't lie in the face of the official's inquiry, so he immediately explained to Lu Cunxin.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was too frightened to speak. Could it be that the officials really want to investigate this matter?

"You mean, those two kung fu people killed mountain bandits?"

Lu Cunxin asked.

"Exactly, if it wasn't for their help, the hundreds of people in our village might have been slaughtered. My lord, please check it out."

Wei Lizheng explained.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was also frightened and said quickly, "It's a real official messenger. Their family is all good people. They even take the villagers up the mountain to find something to eat. They have never done anything out of the ordinary."

Lu Cunxin also believed most of them. After all, he had heard about the killing of mountain bandits in Changling Village. Before, he was just curious, but he didn't expect that there were really people helping these villagers.

"I will go to verify what Wei Lizheng said, so don't be nervous. Since ancient times, once the charge of exile has been established, there is no precedent for double sin. If what you said is true, I will make a decision on my own. "

Seeing that the two of them were facing a formidable enemy, Lu Cunxin comforted them.

"Sir, then a few of them came to live in the village but didn't report it..."

Sun Heshun didn't expect Wei Lizheng to fool the official with just a few words.

"Who said I didn't report it? We already know what you said, and we will find out the truth next."

Lu Cunxin said.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he walked towards the exiled family with a few officers, he encountered dozens of villagers who stopped there.

"Sir, I beg you to spare the Yin family, they are all our saviours."

Fang Tianhai took the lead and shouted.

"Yes, the official messenger, if the bandits come back to the village, we, the defenseless farmers, will not be able to protect themselves."

"The county government can't catch the mountain bandits and want to catch good people. Which county government is this?"

"If the official messenger takes them away, we will simply be a fugitive. It just so happens that the food will not be handed in."

I don't know who said such a sentence in the crowd, but it made Lu Cunxin laugh angrily.

Tax evaders are runaways. If there are too many runaways in a county, it will affect the county magistrate’s political performance. However, the runaways themselves are not much better. They can only live in no fixed place and cannot return home for the rest of their lives.

"Everyone, please rest assured, I'm not here to arrest people, I just received a report from someone, so I'll take a look at the situation."

Lu Cunxin and others were also quite surprised. It was the first time they saw that a villager in a village would protect others like this, which made him even more interested in the exiled family.

"Really don't arrest people?"

Ma Cuihua was still worried and asked again.

Seeing Lu Cunxin nodding, the villagers were hesitant to open the way.

"Let's get out of the way first, Master Lu naturally won't lie to us."

Seeing that Wei Lizheng also came forward, the villagers gave way, but they looked at Lu Cunxin with defensive eyes.
