Chapter 239： things to worry about

Chapter 239 Worried things

Chu Nanzhi was still immersed in a contented and comfortable mood, but when he heard Lin Jinxiao's words, his face turned pale, and he glanced at him angrily: "Lin Dalang, do you have some serious illness?"

But just after scolding, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Thinking of the little boy preparing bath water for himself, preparing such a large table of sumptuous meals, and risking himself to save himself today, it is quite touching to think of all the things that echoed in his mind.

She suddenly softened, and asked with a smile, "You really want to hear it."

Lin Jinxiao gazed at her affectionately, and nodded expectantly.

Looking at his expectant eyes, Chu Nanzhi suddenly smirked and teased: "Sister Lin fell from the sky, she hit the ground first."

Brother Lin doesn’t have any tunes, but sister Lin does.

Hearing the weird lyrics, Lin Jinxiao just quietly looked at her, his face gradually turned from calm to gloomy.

Isn't this just making fun of yourself?

At the beginning, Liu Yun bought him five hundred taels of silver from the Chen family to be his son-in-law. Although the Chu family did not regard him as a son-in-law, there was always an indelible scar in his heart.

In these years, she was tormented by her before so that she didn't care about other things, and she couldn't even live a normal life. Now she actually mocks herself as a woman.

It is simply unreasonable.

But it was this woman whom he hated that saved his life several times in succession when he was in the most distress and despair, and took good care of him for more than a month. This kindness made him feel inexplicably happy.

Now he really can't hate the woman in front of him at all.

Chu Nanzhi saw that his eyes were full of deepness, and thinking about the past experience, she suddenly realized that her unintentional ridicule of the lyrics might have annoyed him again, so she hurriedly asked cautiously: "Are you angry?"

"No."

Lin Jinxiao smiled lightly, stared at her seriously, and asked slowly, "How did you come to the conclusion of today's case?"

Chu Nanzhi thought about it, but she didn't know how to explain it to him, so she could only roughly sum it up: "Metal poisoning."

"Metal poisoning?"

Lin Jinxiao heard ambiguously: "Swallowing gold to poison?"

This doesn't seem right, the county magistrates are not fools, how could they swallow money?

Chu Nanzhi looked at him with a puzzled face, which was a bit cute. Although he was a veritable academic master, the knowledge he received was limited after all.

But this guy is indeed curious, and he has to figure out everything he encounters.

She had no choice but to explain to him patiently: "The upper reaches of the river in Majia Village is a smelting factory. They discharge the waste water after smelting into the river and flow into Niujia Village. When the river water reaches Niujia Village, it cannot be drained out and has to go underground for many years. Soaked, and infiltrated with the brine in the salt well, the boiled salt is as poisonous as raw gold, and this is what is fatal."

"I see."

Lin Jinxiao nodded with a sudden realization: "There are very few counties where there are salt wells and smelting mines in the same place, and the big and small officials in Haikang County have not done anything. It seems that this matter must be rectified by Peng Sanlang in the future."

"Well, quicklime can be put into wastewater for treatment and then discharged."

Chu Nanzhi replied.

This is also the method she can think of at present.

Lin Jinxiao nodded slightly: "I will talk to Peng Sanlang tomorrow."

Thinking that the matters in Haikang County were almost settled, and thinking about the purpose of her trip, Lin Jinxiao ordered again softly: "Sun Wuji will be released from prison tomorrow, if you want to go to Sunjia Village to discuss matters, bring a few more people with you Let's go together, although Haikang County is peaceful on the surface, it is inevitable that we will encounter some evil servants and minions, wait for me to explain something tomorrow, and go home the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

Chu Nanzhi looked down at his injured leg, and asked worriedly, "Is the spasm on the leg better?"

Lin Jinxiao nodded lightly, pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious."

"The car sent by the imperial court to welcome Mr. Hu has not yet arrived. In fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry to take office."

Chu Nanzhi had just spoken when she suddenly thought of what Sibao said when they first arrived.

Could it be that this guy came here in a hurry because he was worried about himself?

Thinking about it carefully, my trip was indeed a bit rash.

If Lin Jinxiao hadn't come with the Tianzi Sword and suppressed Kang Mingyuan, she would have faced the entire Haikang County officialdom and powerful evil gentry alone, and she really didn't know what dangers she would have encountered.

The two looked at each other in dismay, Lin Jinxiao remained silent but did not answer her question.

After a long time, Lin Jinxiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, and said to her in a discussing tone, "I forgot to tell you something. When I came out, Mr. Chang asked Mrs. Chang to redeem our old Lin family's house." Here we come, when the time comes, do you want to move to the county government office or the ancestral house?"

Chu Nanzhi was at a loss when he heard this, and he didn't know how much this guy was hiding from him.

Before she could react, Lin Jinxiao continued to add: "I still can't do without you because my leg injury is still unhealed, so don't think about anything else for now."

Especially the matter of Heli. "In the future, if you are worried that it will be inconvenient for your father-in-law, mother-in-law and two aunts to go to the city, go back to Luyan Port and go to a horse dealer to buy a carriage."

He arranged everything in a serious manner, but Chu Nanzhi didn't know how to refute him.

Sneaking a sneaky glance at him, he said to himself, "Could it be that this guy wants to rely on me?"

What she was worried about finally came.

Speaking of it, it’s not right to live with him in the county government office, and it’s even more wrong to go back to the Lin family’s ancestral house, but if he leaves his father and son to live alone in the small courtyard of her natal family or Anlin Village, I’m afraid it will also attract criticism.

This is really a dilemma.

After thinking about it, she had no choice but to avoid this topic first, and then said: "Chang Lao has always been rigid and rigorous, why did he suddenly think of buying back the old Lin family house for you?"

This is not like the stubborn old man in her impression.

Lin Jinxiao knew that she was confused, but in fact he was also very confused, but Chang Lao was different from others, in his heart both elders were like masters and fathers, and Lao Nie was easy-going and loved to get close to others, so he could figure out some of his habits.

But Chang is always a secretive temperament, and the things he arranges always have his own intentions.

Lin Jinxiao did not dare to question this point.

Quietly looking at the curious beautiful lady in front of him, Lin Jinxiao replied earnestly:

"Actually, during the years of our marriage, I have almost lost contact with Mr. Chang. But before we left, at the mansion of my teacher, I heard from my teacher's wife that he has been silently caring about me for the past few years. After the tax and bank case happened, he was the one who The old man personally went to the county government to ask for mercy, and it took him three days to relax, otherwise I and the group of brothers under my hand would have been imprisoned long ago."

After pausing for a moment, with a smile on his lips, he stared deeply at Chu Nanzhi: "The old man has always had his own opinions in doing things, and he doesn't like to be disobeyed, so we don't have to speculate on his intentions. Just remember his kindness."

Chu Nanzhi nodded in agreement, and then asked a little uneasy: "Then after I go back, I will send the money to the old man?"

"No need."

Lin Jinxiao shook his head: "I mentioned that Mr. Chang told me not to worry about these trivial matters, and told me to manage the six counties in the east. He also said not to let down the Empress Dowager's respect for my Lin family in Luyan Port."
