Chapter 367 Who is she?
Chapter 367 Who is she?
Shi Ren's face turned pale when he heard this: "Enough, this is our family affair, it is not your turn as an outsider to question it."
Shi Huai looked at him calmly: "Let go. When my parents left, we had already separated. I helped you because I felt that I had been away from home for many years and my parents depended on you to take care of them. So no matter how much you went too far in the past, I would not say a word, but you shouldn't have ruined my innocence today."
Mrs. Lu was still unconvinced: "We have destroyed her innocence. Do you think she looks like someone who can afford to buy things?"
"What are you all doing here? Don't you want to do business?"
Everyone turned around and saw the head of the agricultural police station and a group of yamen runners standing behind them: "Head of the agricultural police station, why are you here?"
"The government wants to buy some horses, so I came over to take a look. What are you all doing here?" The head farmer didn't see Xia Wanniang in the crowd.
As soon as Mrs. Lu saw Captain Nong, she immediately walked over crying, "Captain Nong, you have to make the decision for our family!"
Shi Huai: "Lu, what are you doing?"
The head of the farm looked at Lu's red and swollen cheeks and said, "Isn't this Mr. Shi's wife? What happened? Who bullied you?"
Mrs. Lu pointed at Xia Wanniang who was watching the show on the side. "It was this despicable little whore, a whore from the brothel. Not only did she seduce my eldest brother, she also tricked him into giving her all his money. After we exposed her, she actually beat me up."
After seeing the person clearly, the head of the farm police looked at her and immediately led a group of yamen runners to greet her: "Greetings, Madam Xiao."
Xia Wanniang looked at the few people with a smile: "Captain Nong, you don't have to be so polite. Are you here to buy horses today?"
The head of the farm nodded and said, "The government has some spare money now. The Lord sympathizes with us subordinates who often travel back and forth in the countryside, so he asked us to buy horses for transportation."
"Is that so! In that case, why don't you let the old man next to me help you choose. He is an expert." Xia Wanniang said and pointed at Shi Huai.
The head of the farm squad smiled and bowed to Shi Huai: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Shi, for a while."
Shi Huaili had received such courtesy before, so he quickly dodged his courtesy and said, "Captain Nong, you are too polite. I will help you choose after I finish dealing with things here."
Shi Ren was a scholar, and all the people in the government were familiar with him. When he saw him treat Xia Wanniang so politely, he knew something bad was going to happen, so he stepped forward and said, "Captain Nong, who is this?"
The head of the Nong police department stopped being polite to Shi Ren and said, "Shi Xiucai is really capable. You are a scholar who wants to destroy someone's innocence. You slander others and destroy their innocence. You know what crime it is without me telling you."
Shi Ren's face turned pale: "Captain Nong, you can't help her just because she is pretty."
The yamen runners behind the head of the farm were all laughing in anger: "Do you know who she is?"
Shi Ren looked confused: "Who is she?"
The head of the farm police said, "During the Lantern Festival, she killed bandits, treated civilians, and participated in the suppression of bandits. Now the new farm tools used by the civilians are all made by her, as are winter wheat and high-yield rice. And now the materials used in the roads and schools in every village are all made by Madam Xiao. How powerful are you to slander her? Aren't you afraid that the people of Luocheng will drown you with their saliva?"
Everyone present took a deep breath after hearing each sentence, and even dared not say a word to the end.
The head of the Nong police looked at Shi Ren, who was already sweating profusely, with a sneer: "Not to mention you, even the county magistrate and the prefect have to treat her with courtesy. Who do you think you are to dare to speak to her like that? She won't sell you a word. Do you want to cause chaos in the people of Luo City? You can bear this crime."
Shi Ren's legs went weak and he sat down on the ground. He couldn't afford to offend such a person. She had no power or influence, but she could ensure that the people had enough food.
Just this one thing, as long as she is not happy, their family will definitely have no good days.
The head of the farm looked at Shi Ren, who was sitting on the ground with a dead look on his face, and then looked at Lu Shi: "You said she couldn't afford a horse? She owns half of the shops in Luo City, what do you think of her?"
Mrs. Lu's face turned pale. "No, it's impossible. She is just a village woman. You must be lying to me. You are just attracted by her appearance."
