"What's wrong with that? I also grow rapeseed. I'm sure I know if there are any problems with our rapeseed sprouts."

"There's nothing wrong with rapeseed moss, absolutely nothing wrong with it. If it could really kill people, how could our family survive like this?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Since there's nothing wrong with the rapeseed we planted, then Xiyue and the others are not guilty. If they're not guilty, why can't they come out?"

The village chief nodded thoughtfully.

"Jiuyue girl, do you mean that someone is deliberately targeting you? Or is it deliberately targeting Xiyue and her family?"

The village chief had thought about this problem a long time ago, but he kept it in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

"Well, that should be the case."

Lin Jiuyue didn't say anything too final, only giving the village chief a vague answer.

The village chief sighed.

"Ah, I guess it's because we made a lot of money from our rapeseed, and that made others jealous."

Lin Jiuyue smiled.

"Let them be jealous, but I don't believe they dare to do anything to Xiyue and the others. Is there no law in this world?"

The village chief shook his head helplessly.

"September girl, you are young and don't understand some things. Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials."

"How can ordinary people like us ever defeat those officials? How many officials nowadays have clean records? It would be great if officials were truly so honest and upright."

Lin Jiuyue showed a sarcastic smile.

"If we can't get justice here, don't we still have the court? I just don't believe that the emperor is so confused."

As soon as Lin Jiuyue said this, the village chief was so frightened that his face changed.

"Hush, September girl, don't say that. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. If someone hears this and spreads it out, even if we are fine, we will be in trouble."

Lin Jiuyue comforted the village chief.

"Uncle, don't worry. I'm only saying this here. I won't say it anywhere else. I'm not a fool."

After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, the village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The mouth can cause trouble. Even if it's someone you trust, you can't say such things."

Lin Jiuyue knew that the village chief said this for his own good, so he nodded in response.

"Uncle, I know."

"September, so, what should we do now?"

Ever since Xiyue and the others were arrested, news spread in the town that the rapeseed moss was poisonous. The rapeseed from Lin Jiuyue's family, including the village chief's family, could not be sold in the fields.

Fortunately, a lot of rapeseed sprouts had been sold before, so people did not lose all their money.

"Uncle, don't worry, the problem will eventually be solved. However, it's getting late today, I'll go to the government office tomorrow to check."

The village chief frowned.

"Jiuyue girl, that government office isn't accessible to ordinary people like us. There's a saying that goes, 'All government offices face south. If you have a reason but no money, don't come in...'"

The village chief suddenly stopped talking here.

I am an ordinary citizen with no money and no power, but September is different. September is so smart and has money. Moreover, Qiye is still in the military camp. Maybe September really has a way to rescue Xiyue and the others?

"Uncle, don't worry. No matter why they arrested Xiyue and the others, I will make them send Xiyue and her family back politely."

"Not only that, they have to compensate us for the silver we lost in rapeseed farming!"

village head:……

No, is this girl telling the truth or just bragging? When did the government become so easy to talk to?

It's already a great achievement for someone who's been arrested to be released safely. But this girl actually wants the government to compensate her for the rapeseed? How is that even possible?

"Jiuyue girl, listen to your uncle. We just need to get the person out. Don't think about the rest. It's useless to think about it."

A sneer appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.

"Uncle, if this hadn't happened, we wouldn't know how much money our rapeseed sprouts would have fetched. Now they've ruined our rapeseed sprout business with just one sentence, so they deserve some compensation."

The village chief sighed and shook his head.

This girl, young and energetic, always thinks things are so simple.

Forget it, let her go and hit the wall.

"Jiuyue girl, do your best in this matter. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Just let it go? How could I just let it go? If I just let it go, who would compensate me for my losses? I couldn't just accept it as my own bad luck, could I?

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this matter. Just sit back and wait to collect the money when the time comes!"

The rapeseed sprouts have not been sold out, and there are still a lot in the field, which is perfect. We can save them for harvesting rapeseed.

As for the losses, I have to find the mastermind behind it. It doesn't matter if they don't want to compensate, as long as they can bear the consequences of not compensating!

Not only do I want compensation, but I also want them to come out and clarify the rumors for me! Otherwise, my rapeseed planting plan for the next season will be ruined!

The village chief had said everything he needed to say and had given all the advice he needed to give, but Lin Jiuyue still insisted on her statement, and the village chief had no choice.

"Jiuyue girl, since you've said this much, then count me in as one. Let's go to the government office together tomorrow. At worst, I can just quit being the village chief!"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

The village chief was overthinking things, wasn't he? He was the victim.

"Uncle, just wait at home. Don't get involved in this matter."

Even if the village chief went along, he wouldn't be able to play a big role. At most, he would just be keeping him company.

Just after seeing off the village chief, Laicai came back looking tired.

"Laifu, Laifu, is the young lady back? Where is the young lady?"

Lai Fu pointed to Lin Jiuyue's room.

"The young lady is in the room. Speak softly, don't disturb her."

The moment Laicai heard this, the sound of his footsteps became much quieter.

"On my way back, when I passed the village entrance, I heard people in the village saying that the young lady had returned. I thought it was fake. Lai Fu, do you think the young lady is really back? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Lai Fu rolled his eyes.

"I told you it was true, but you didn't believe it and now you're asking again."

Laicai laughed twice.

"Haha, aren't I just confirming it again? It's all right if the young lady comes back, it's all right if she comes back. Hehe, I'll walk quietly so as not to disturb the young lady."

Laicai went out for a run today, but didn't get any news.

Although I haven't heard the news yet, I have communicated with customers who have bought rapeseed sprouts from the stall before. They will also come to help testify when the time comes.

In this way, the chances of Xiyue and others coming out are greatly increased.
