The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

Lin Xi was startled, put down the things he was carrying and went out, and the four little dumplings followed in a hurry.

The person coming from outside is Aunt Zhang.

Lin Xi went up to him and asked, "What's wrong with Shen Chen?"

Aunt Zhang ran too fast and was out of breath. Lin Xi patted her back to calm her down. Aunt Zhang said intermittently: "Your husband-in-law is at the county government office!"

"What?!"

When the four dumplings heard this, they became even more panicked: "Why is daddy in the Yamen? What happened to him? Is it serious? How is he doing now??"

Aunt Zhang had a headache when she was asked. Lin Xi stopped the children and said, "Aunt Zhang, what is going on?"

Aunt Zhang then replied: "Just this morning, Aunt Li's family and Mrs. Chen's family suddenly came to my house, crying and saying that something had happened to them, and asked the village chief to seek justice."

Lin Xi's eyelids jumped.

Aren't these the families of those children last night?

Is it because she beat the child last night?

Aunt Zhang said: "My family asked what was going on. They said that something happened to their family members in the county town. It seemed that they gathered a group of people and lost money in gambling. They couldn't afford the money and started a quarrel. Then there was a fight. There seemed to be people from the yamen among them. Now, they are all They were at the county government office. My wife hurriedly followed them."

It turned out to be because of this.

Lin Xi knew that the Qin Dynasty where the original owner belonged was an unprecedented dynasty in history and implemented a system of counties and counties to manage many local affairs.

It was Qin Taizu who founded the Qin Dynasty. Five years ago, Qin Taizu was critically ill, and the rebels took the opportunity to launch a mutiny. Coupled with the rebellion of the barbarians in the border fortresses, wars broke out frequently in the world and the people were in dire straits. This is the source of the current poverty of the people.

The later prince succeeded in quelling the rebellion and ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong of Qin. The Qin Dynasty was already riddled with holes and was in urgent need of health and recuperation. Because too many loyal officials and generals of the Qing Dynasty died in the mutiny, no one was available in the court and local management was inadequate, so in On the basis of the county system, an additional step was added, with local squires and township officials assisting in the management of public security.

The village chief of Chenyang Village is one of them. He not only has to manage and coordinate the security of Chenyang Village, but also if something happens to the villagers of Chenyang Village elsewhere, the village chief will also handle it together. This is how the king of heaven pockmarked his face at her house the day before yesterday There was a commotion and the reason why I wanted to run away immediately when I saw the village chief and his wife coming.

If someone from Aunt Li's family had an accident and went to the yamen, they would definitely be punished, but if the village chief went there and coordinated with the yamen people, maybe the punishment would be lighter.

But--

"Why is Shen Chen there?"

Aunt Zhang said: "It seems that Shen Chen happened to be selling things in the county. After passing there, the people from the Yamen brought him back for questioning. It was also the person from my family who sent the news back, and I knew that Shen Chen was there. I was thinking about him. You guys must be worried because I haven't returned home all night, so why don't I come and let you know right away."

Lin Xi thought of the things in the kitchen. The few prey animals were indeed gone. Shen Chen probably went out early and took them to the county.

It’s going to be bad!

She just beat Aunt Li and her children last night. If they bite someone in a hurry now, wouldn't they want to throw dirty water on Shen Chen?

Lin Xi made a quick decision, "Auntie, I have to go to the county to have a look."

She can't let Shen Chen take the blame for her!

Aunt Zhang said: "What about the children? Should they be sent to my house?"

Dabao said anxiously: "I want to go too!"

Erbao and the other three then nodded fiercely: "We also want to find daddy!"

Lin Xi said: "You children can feel at home at home."

Then he looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Auntie, I just made breakfast. Seeing that you came so early, you must not have eaten it. If you don't mind, you can eat it at my house and help me accompany the child."

Aunt Zhang changed her mind about Lin Xi, so she agreed and said: "It just so happens that Old Uncle Li from the west end of the village is also going to the county. He has an ox cart, so you can take a ride."

Lin Xi was worried about not knowing the way. Hearing this, he quickly thanked and led Aunt Zhang in. After thinking about it, he went to the kitchen and put all the prepared wild vegetables into the bamboo basket. After hesitation, he put some medicinal herbs on his back.

When she turned around, Dabao and the other four were standing at the door looking at her.

Lin Xi softened her heart and said, "I will definitely bring your father back. He will be fine."

Erbao asked unwillingly: "You really can't take us?"

Lin Xi shook his head: "No, if something happens to you, how can I explain to Shen Chen? Be good and wait for us at home."

Lin Xi went out, drank half a bowl of porridge to cushion her stomach, said goodbye to Aunt Zhang, and left under the eager eyes of the four little dumplings.

Afraid of not being able to catch up with the bullock cart, Lin Xi ran very fast.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the west end of the village, Old Uncle Li was already leaving, and Lin Ci quickly shouted to stop him.

Old Li Shu stopped, turned around and saw her a little surprised, took a puff of dry cigarette and asked: "Shen Chen's family, you want to go to the county too?"

He doesn't know about the Yamen yet.

Lin Xi breathed slowly, gave him two copper coins, and got on the bullock cart.

There was an unpleasant smell in the car, and the chopping board was dirty. I didn't know what kind of dirt it was. Lin Xi, who had a mysophobia, sat silently in the back, where it was a little cleaner.

I was accompanied by several aunties from the village, all going to the county's morning market to sell things.

They looked at Lin Xi very delicately, maybe because the original owner didn't like to interact with the villagers too much, and his reputation as a monster was too loud.

Seeing Lin Xi also carrying a bamboo basket, one of them asked: "Madam Shen, what are you doing in the county?"

"Something's wrong."

Lin Xi smiled and replied ambiguously.

Several people didn't care: "I've never seen you rushing to the morning market with us before."

"Are you overthinking it and finally want to do some work to support your family?"

"Well, that's good. That boy Shen Chen can finally relax."

"I'm not telling you that now that the Shen family is married, you can live a happy life. Although Shen Chen's family... has four idiots, the children are all sensible, so you don't have to suffer the pain of giving birth, right?"

Lin Xi was not used to talking to them, so she responded with a few words and then closed her eyes to catch up on her sleep.

Although the speed of the ox cart was not too slow, it still took more than half an hour to reach the county.

Lin Xi asked Old Uncle Li when he was going back, and also asked about the location of the Yamen, and then hurried to the Yamen.

When she arrived, the yamen was crowded with people on three levels inside and outside.

"It's really strange! I have never heard of ordinary people dare to take official positions!"

"It's not that bad. Those people inside are too bold! They will suffer a lot this time!"

"To be honest, the tall guy inside is really powerful. He hit many people by himself, but he didn't even get hurt!"

Lin Xi's heart dropped when she heard the whispers around her.

Not to mention that Shen Chen was really implicated and beat up the official in anger?!

It's like something the villain can do, but can't!

"Let me go! Please let me go! There are people from my family inside!"

The crowd was so big that Lin Xi's small body couldn't squeeze in. His voice was drowned by the noisy crowd, and he was squeezed out in the end.

Someone pushed her. Lin Xi lost her balance and was caught. She fell backwards unprepared.
