Chapter 224: Innocence restored
Jiang Fengze clenched his fist helplessly.
"Who cares if they are beautiful or ugly? I want you to see the scars on their bodies!"
"Scars?" Xiao Lanyi rubbed her eyes and looked again.
Xiao Nuobao heard the noise and turned his head to look in the direction of their sight.
The two "fishermen" had a scar the size of a fingernail on their exposed necks. The scars were very round and had red flesh growing on them. If
ordinary people saw this scar, they would not be suspicious.
But Jiang Fengze had been there before and was extremely sensitive. He immediately recognized the identities of these two people.
"I didn't expect that they were not our Nanji people, but the Thief Bei people!" Jiang Fengze frowned and gritted his teeth in a low voice.
Xiao Lanyi was surprised and asked back: "What do you mean by stealing from the north? Aren't they merchants from Bohai City?"
"No, they are pretending to be fishermen." Jiang Fengze said firmly.
"How did you tell? Teach me." Xiao Lanyi held him with admiration.
Jiang Fengze recalled what he had learned in the military camp and patiently explained to him.
"More than ten years ago, there was an outbreak of sheep pox in the Sibei country. At that time, our two countries were still on good terms, and we gave them a prescription, but they were too mean-spirited to believe it. They listened to the quack doctor's advice and smeared the blood of a sick ewe on copper coins, burned the copper coins red, and branded them under the necks of the Sibei people, saying that it could prevent the disease."
Jiang Fengze shook his head and sneered, "In the end, not only was it useless, but it also left such a scar on the body of everyone in Sibei, regardless of gender or age."
Therefore, based on this scar, it can be judged that the two men were from Sibei.
Xiao Lanyi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I said that when we caught them just now, their accents didn't sound like the people from Bocheng, so they were fake!"
He was about to step forward to expose the identities of the two.
But Jiang Fengze grabbed his hand and held him back.
"Don't be impulsive. There is no simple story behind this. There are still many villagers here. Don't scare them."
Why did the people from Beibei pretend to be fishermen?
And why did the people in Qingquan Village have anything to do with the people from Beibei?
And they had to hand over the radish seeds to them?
This pile, each and every one of them, was really wrong.
Thinking about the fact that there were so many fishermen from Bocheng wandering around in the city recently, Jiang Fengze couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Just when he was hesitating whether to take Qingquan Village Li Zheng and the Northern Pirates back for severe interrogation.
Little Nuobao blinked and suddenly called him: "San Guoguo, don't make trouble."
"Nuobao, do you want my third brother not to touch them?" Jiang Fengze asked in a gentle voice.
Little Nuobao stretched out his fat white finger and pointed at Qingquan Village Li Zheng: "Yes, San Guoguo, believe Nuobao, as long as you follow him, you will not only catch the two fake fishermen, but you may also catch a "big fish." Jiang Fengze was inspired
and his eyes lit up.
My sister is right. Since this matter is strange and unpredictable, it may not be appropriate to act rashly. It is better to play a long game and catch a big fish. As long as you keep an eye on the person, it will be fine.
It was getting dark, and soon, everyone had to go back to their villages.
In order to vent his anger on Nuobao, Tian Zhixian stripped the pants of the young man from Qingquan Village and punished this old man who had been respectable for half his life with thirty strokes of the cane.
The villagers from Daliu Village couldn't help but applaud.
Being punished in public was humiliating, not to mention being naked, which was rare. Tian Zhixian was afraid that others couldn't see clearly, so he specially lit six or seven lanterns.
The young man from Qingquan Village was so ashamed and angry after being beaten a few times that he fainted on the bench.
After the punishment, Tian Zhixian took a handful of coarse salt and rubbed it on his wounds. He wanted to take him away and put him in jail.
But little Nuobao changed his mind and whispered a few words to him.
Tian Zhixian changed his mind and immediately ordered people to release Li Zheng of Qingquan Village and the two "fishermen".
"The Jiang family and Dalui Village are kind and don't intend to count your mistakes. I will not put him in jail because of the old age of Li Zheng of Qingquan Village. You can take care of yourself."
Everyone just took it as the truth and couldn't help but praise the Jiang family and Dalui Village.
"They are really kind and righteous. If it were me, I would definitely investigate to the end."
"Think about how we misunderstood them before. They really deserve to be beaten!"
The villagers of Dalui Village earned some good reputation and went back happily.
Seeing that it was late, Feng was afraid that Nuobao would make trouble, so she took the yawning little guy and got on the village chief's ox cart and went home under the stars.
Jiang Fengze and Xiao Lanyi went directly back to Liaodongying.
That night, the two arranged their men to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Qingquan Village day and night.
Let's see what those northern thieves are doing this time in Yuncheng!
...
Although they have been wronged these days, no matter what, the innocence of Daliushan Village has finally been restored.
The next morning, when the villagers got up, they were all refreshed and smiling.
Even working in the fields was extra energetic.
When the widow Gu went out of the village again, she didn't have to worry about being kicked from behind by children from other villages.
Old Zhang recovered a lot. After breakfast, when he heard about what happened last night, he touched the peach cakes and jujube cakes on the kang and asked Zhang Xiucai to send them to his sister.
"These are all given by the Jiang family. Your aunt will definitely like them. You can keep two packets for yourself and take the rest to Daxi Village for your aunt."
"By the way, Dad wanted to give her some money when he went to her place last time, but I didn't dare to take out my pocket after the people in her village made a fuss." After saying that, Old Zhang weakly took out his money box, took out five hundred copper coins and slapped them on the table: "Take them all and let your aunt buy whatever she likes."
Mr. Zhang cleaned up the dishes and responded in a gentle voice: "It happens that the school is closed today. I don't have to teach in the morning. I will go in a while."
"Dad, you are so good to my aunt." He smiled and said with some emotion: "Why didn't you and my mother give me a sister? Looking at you and my aunt, Nuobao and the Jiang brothers, I am really jealous."
Old Zhang blurted out: "Why didn't you give birth to a sister? When you were only two years old, your mother gave birth to another daughter..."
But before he could finish speaking, Old Zhang's heart ached, so he simply waved his hands, not wanting to talk about the sad things anymore.
Just at this moment, Feng came into the Zhang family's yard carrying a basket of duck eggs and a small box of donkey-hide gelatin powder.
"Scholar, these duck eggs are freshly pickled by my family, and the donkey-hide gelatin powder was given by Doctor Wu. You can use hot water or hot goat's milk to make it for your father to drink, which can replenish his blood and qi."
Scholar Zhang hurried out to answer them, and the father and son were interrupted, so they didn't mention the matter of the younger sister anymore.
After Feng came out of Zhang's house, she went to Xianquanju to talk to Yin'er for a few words. She estimated that the young lady should wake up, so she went back home.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao had already put on her little clothes by herself and walked out of the house.
While there were no adults in the room, Nuobao wanted to learn not to use the urinal and go to the toilet to pee by herself.
Chun Ge'er happened to be lying on the windowsill at this time, and saw her through the wide open window.
"Bu Bu...Aunt...Aunt!" Little Chun Ge'er was the most attached to Nuobao.
Seeing that his little aunt was so far away from him, Chun Ge'er became anxious and stood on the window sill tremblingly.
His little body was so soft, his two short legs were shaking, and he was not standing very steadily, so he wanted to go to little Nuobao.
"Bu Bu...Aunt."
"Aunt!"
As soon as little Nuobao turned around, he saw that Chun Ge'er had stepped on empty air and most of his body was about to fall out of the window!
