Chapter 290: I am too small to do it

The county magistrate said with a stern face: "You actually found a child to impersonate Lin Qingyue! Someone, bring the village chief here!"

After a while, the village chief came hurriedly and saluted the county magistrate first. The county magistrate thought it was too troublesome and told him not to salute.

"Are you the chief of this village? I have something to ask you, tell me the truth."

The village chief quickly said yes, and the county magistrate continued.

"The son of the master died in your village. Do you know about this?"

The village chief broke out in a cold sweat, and the servant of the county magistrate came forward.

"The people in this village are all ignorant and stupid. The village chief has neglected his duties. My Lord, please seek justice for our young master!"

Village Chief: "My dear brother, I didn't know what happened. This is because you went directly to the county magistrate and didn't tell me at all!

"And I just learned that you weren't there to protect your young master at the time, which is why he met with such an accident. If you're talking about dereliction of duty, then aren't you..."

"Alright!" The county magistrate said, "Detain him and interrogate him later."

"My Lord! I am innocent! My Lord! I am innocent!"

The servant of the official's family was dragged away by the guards, and he kept shouting that he was innocent.

The county magistrate looked at the village chief and said, "It's true that the servant neglected his duties, but it's a little late for you to find out about the incident now!"

Village chief: "I will not let this happen again."

"Let me ask you again, is this person Lin Qingyue?"

The county magistrate pointed at Lin Qingyue who was standing obediently in front of him.

The village chief leaned in to take a closer look, and Lin Qingyue sweetly called out "Grandpa Village Chief" according to his memory.

The village chief was confused: "She is indeed Lin Qingyue, there is no doubt about it."

The County Magistrate said, "Then why does that Ah Gui keep saying that Lin Qingyue had a rooster gouge out his eyes? Is there a rooster here? Go in and search!"

When several guards came in, grandma thought of the big rooster and hurried back, but was stopped by the county magistrate's men.

"Where are you going, old lady?"

Grandma: "I remembered that we haven't fed the pigs yet, so I went to check on them."

The county magistrate said: "Let's feed it later. The pig won't starve to death, right?"

"Unless you don't want to feed the pigs, but want to hide the rooster?"

"Oh my! My Lord! Who among us ordinary people who raise chickens doesn't raise a big rooster? Speaking of big roosters, doesn't every household have one? The one at home scared my baby before, and I wanted to stew it for my baby to nourish him."

Grandma said this, and then added: "Our good boy's legs are not even as long as yours. How could he blind someone? Can he squat down and let our good boy blind him?"

Lin Qingyue had to admire this old lady. She was really smart. The county magistrate was also very sharp in noticing that something was wrong and found this place.

Unfortunately, when Lin Qingyue came back, he had already wiped out the evidence. As for what Agui said, it was just treated as idle chat after dinner and was of no use.

……

"Report! Not found!"

"Report! Not found!"

"Report! Not found!"

Several people came back and said they didn't find the big rooster.

The magistrate asked the old lady, "Didn't you say you had a big rooster at home?"

The old lady said: "Guaiguai was reluctant to kill the rooster that day, so I asked them to leave it to Guaiguai. Guaiguai, it's normal for a child to not be able to look after a chicken. Maybe the chicken has already gone to someone else's chicken coop."

……

……

Afterwards, the county magistrate asked Lin Qingyue a few more questions alone, and when nothing strange happened, he took the servant of the young master back to the yamen.

After the county magistrate left, the entire Lin family and the village chief all breathed a sigh of relief.

The village chief was still terrified: "This Agui has nothing serious to do all day. He hangs around the village every day. I didn't expect him to actually kill the son of the wealthy family. Fortunately, his parents died early, so they didn't have to suffer from his consequences."

"Mrs. Lin, I have to go back. Please keep an eye on Lin Qingyue. Ah Gui mentioned Lin Qingyue because he might have set his sights on your Guaiguai!"

After the village chief left, Lin Qingyue nestled in her mother's arms, thinking about how to find Ji Fuyou and Fu Weisheng.

Unexpectedly, Ji Fuyou came back when she finished dinner.

"Have you found Weisheng? Where is she?" Lin Qingyue was very excited.

Ji Fuyou jumped forward a few steps and landed on the pole, just at eye level with Lin Qingyue.

"I found Ah Sheng, but judging by her situation, she was going to marry that fool from the Yuanwai family. Now that fool is dead. Yuanwai gave their family a large sum of money and said that he wanted Ah Sheng to arrange a ghost marriage for Ah Que."

"A ghost marriage?" Lin Qingyue said in disbelief, "Isn't it possible that the master wants to marry a concubine?"

Ji Fuyou: "Most likely. Ah Sheng is in a very dangerous situation now. We need to rescue her quickly."

Lin Qingyue looked behind Ji Fuyou: "...Should it be okay? Isn't Weisheng quite powerful?"

"The spiritual pressure here is extremely strong, and Ah Sheng may not be able to exert his full strength."

Lin Qingyue pointed behind him.

"Look at the back."

Ji Fuyou looked over and found that it was Fu Weisheng standing behind him, looking at him silently.

……

……

Fu Weisheng: "Let's find the center of the formation first."

Lin Qingyue: "Where is the center of the formation?"

"do not know."

"What about the Ji family's wife?"

"Her?" Ji Fuyou suddenly realized: "I'll go look for them now to see if they are in this village!"

……

……

Ji Fuyou came back soon.

Lin Qingyue: "How is it? Is there any?"

Fu Weisheng: "This place is different from the previous one. It's not the same place. It's the area close to the demon clan."

Ji Fuyou: "Yes, there is, but there is only one young man named Ji Canglan. There is no other person with the last name Ji."

Lin Qingyue: "It sounds like Ji Canglan is the most likely candidate."

Fu Weisheng suddenly stood up and walked straight out.

"Where are you going?" Lin Qingyue asked hurriedly.

"If we don't go back now, they will find us. I suspect the center of the formation may be in the master's house."

"It's indeed possible. I'll go to Ji Canglan and take a look."

"Okay, then both of you be careful. If you're in doubt, just run away, okay?"

"know."

"knew."

Lin Qingyue: ...Then what does she do?

After the two people left, Lin Qingyue couldn't do anything because she wanted to sleep.

In the middle of the night, she pushed her second brother who was sleeping next to her away, and got out of bed to practice sword.

After five or six days of this, Agui was beheaded. The next day, something happened.

The girl from the Fu family wants to marry the son of the wealthy family who just died, and perform a ghost marriage.

Fu Weisheng and Ji Fuyou came to visit the lonely old man Lin Qingyue again the day before their ghost marriage.

"I thought you two had forgotten about me."
