Chapter 435 Stop Xu Miaomiao
Seeing Liu Quezi's appearance, Yu Zhen frowned and stood in front of Xu Miaomiao. Liu Quezi also limped to his feet. He did not dare to impulsively go forward to pull Xu Miaomiao. Instead, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you ask your wife Xu what good things she has done? Tell us and help us manage the fields. In fact, she is here to harm us!"
"If it weren't for the potions she gave us, how could the land in our village become like that? Now I'm afraid it's beyond saving. Why can't I come forward and ask for an explanation?"
"What land?" Yu Jie frowned in confusion when he heard this, but Xu Miaomiao patted him on the shoulder, signaling Yu Zhen not to be impulsive, but to step forward and speak while looking at Liu Lame on the ground.
"The medicine I gave you is absolutely fine. You can only use two drops per acre of land. If you use more, the crops will not be able to bear it and the medicine will naturally wither. Didn't you do as I asked?"
Xu Miaomiao's tone was somewhat questioning, but when Liu Quezi heard this, he immediately stood up in dissatisfaction, stared at Xu Miaomiao and said, "What do you mean by this? Would we sacrifice the money to save our lives just to frame you?"
Liu Quezi's question successfully shut Xu Miaomiao up, because what he said was all true. The whole village depended on those acres of land for their livelihood. If there was a problem with those acres of land, they would be the ones who would suffer. They had no reason to do this. Liu Quezi looked at Xu Miaomiao in front of him without saying anything and smiled complacently.
"You admit it, right? Come on, follow me now. I want to see how you will deal with Magistrate Hu."
Liu Quezi stepped forward and tried to pull Xu Miaomiao.
Seeing this, Yu Zhen immediately stood in front of Xu Miaomiao and hummed.
Liu Guizi looked at the burly Yu Zhen in front of him and didn't dare to say anything. He took his hand back timidly.
Xu Miaomiao turned around, frowned slightly, flicked her sleeves and said, "Okay, how long are you going to make trouble? I'll go check out the land first."
Xu Miaomiao walked straight out while talking. Previously, she really wanted to make all those lands barren, but now, because of Village Chief Wang, she did not take drastic measures. What was going on?
Xu Miaomiao in the carriage was a little uneasy, and kept thinking about these things in her mind. Those potions were indeed prepared by her personally, and the efficacy was indeed a bit strong, but as long as they were used carefully, generally there would not be any problems, unless someone scattered a whole bottle of medicine on an acre of land, so that all the crops would wither and turn yellow. Xu Miaomiao was heavy-hearted.
The carriage soon arrived at Wangjia Village. As soon as Xu Miaomiao got off the car, she saw Village Chief Wang leading a group of villagers gathered in front of the land. When they saw Xu Miaomiao coming, the villagers showed impatience on their faces and glared at Xu Miaomiao with resentment.
Xu Miaomiao didn't have the time to waste words with them, and walked straight to a bottle of corn next to it. Looking around, the originally green cornfield had turned all yellow in an instant. Although the insects on it had all disappeared, the corn stems were extremely black, as if someone had poisoned them.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she subconsciously frowned, walked to the villager nearby, and said, "Give me the hoe."
But the villager did glare at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction and waved the hoe in his hand, as if he was going to hit Xu Miaomiao in the next second.
"Okay, give the things to Madam Xu."
Village chief Wang shouted in dissatisfaction at the front, and the villagers reluctantly handed the hoe in their hands to Xu Miaomiao. However, Xu Miaomiao didn't want to say a few more words to them. She took the hoe and immediately threw away the soil on the ground and dug out all the corn. She saw that the roots underneath had all turned black and broke into foam when squeezed.
Xu Miaomiao was shocked when she saw this scene.
Without relaxing his frown, he immediately looked at Village Chief Wang and said, "Village Chief, please follow my instructions at all times when you take the bottle of medicine I gave you."
"Of course there is."
Wu Zhuang, who was on the other side, immediately stepped forward and said, "It is because we are afraid of using too much that Village Chief Wang and I are very careful every day. But for some reason, these fields have become like this."
Wu Zhuang's tone was a bit aggressive. Xu Xumiao frowned but said nothing.
Village chief Wang scolded him and told him to shut up.
When Wu Zhuang heard this, he immediately stopped talking.
Village Chief Wang then carefully asked Xu Miaomiao, "What's the matter? Madam Xu, what's the situation with these lands? We are all well-behaved and follow the method you said, so how could something like this happen?"
Xu Miaomiao was also very confused and could not give an answer for a while. She shook her head. Liu Quezi on the side did speak up and said, "I think it was Xu Miaomiao who had a grudge against us and deliberately gave us poison in order to poison all these lands."
"If I really want to do this, why would I agree to come and govern this land?" Xu Miaomiao said coldly.
"Then why? Wasn't it because Magistrate Hu forced you to do so?"
Liu Quezi retorted to Xu Miaomiao from the side.
Xu Miaomiao held up her sleeves impatiently: "Okay, since Mr. Liu thinks so, you can take these evidences to sue me in front of Magistrate Hu. In that case, I, Xu Miaomiao, will not accompany you any more. Goodbye!"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and prepared to leave, but the villagers blocked his way with hoes, staring at him with dissatisfaction and saying, "You destroyed our land like this, how come you want to just walk away now?"
Xu Miaomiao tilted her head. She was not afraid of the person in front of her. Instead, she asked a question in return. "It was you who begged me to manage the land. I said at the beginning that the land might not be managed well. Now that something like this has happened, why do you want to put all the blame on me? If you feel dissatisfied, you can tell Hu Chong everything that happened today. I, Xu Miaomiao, will be happy to accompany you."
Having said that, Xu Miaomiao was about to turn around and leave, but the man in front of her was unwilling to move aside.
"What are you going to do!?"
There was a sound not far away, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Yu Zhen and Yu Jie running over in a hurry. Yu Zhen took a step forward with a wooden stick in his hand and immediately stood in front of Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, are you okay?"
Yu Jie asked Xu Miaomiao hurriedly. Xu Miaomiao shook her head and asked them, "Why are you here?"
"When this man suddenly broke into the store, I felt that he was not a good person. I was really worried that you would be bullied, so we followed him secretly, and sure enough, it turned out to be true."
