926 Visiting the Terraced Fields
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, ” no!”
After a moment, Lord Liu could no longer sit still. He said, “Miss Lin, then we …”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” Lord Liu, please!”
After a while, the group of people arrived at the back of the mountain where the terraced fields were.
The county Magistrate, Lord Liu, also came to see the matter of the terraced fields. Immediately, this news spread like wildfire.
Not long after, whether it was the Lin family village or the other villages, they all heard that the magistrate had come.
For a moment, these villagers, who had not seen much of the world and had only seen a few bailiffs in the town, were both curious about and instinctively afraid of Lord Liu.
After that, they all gathered at the foot of the mountain, not daring to go near the farms.
“This girl is really amazing. She managed to alert the county magistrate with just a few terraced fields!”
“Yup. Look at the way this girl and Lord Liu are chatting and laughing. Why isn’t she afraid?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve even heard that she has met the magistrate before, let alone the county Magistrate now.”
“Ah? Was there such a thing? She’s just a farmer’s daughter. How could she have seen such a high official?”
“I don’t know,”
They really didn’t know about Lin yuelan’s social connections. Therefore, they were also curious about how Lin yuelan had managed to establish a relationship with these officials.
When the county magistrate arrived at the foot of the mountain, he looked up and saw the Winding Ridge of the paddy field. Even if he was below, he could still see that the paddy field was full of water.
From time to time, the clear sound of water flowing down from high above could be heard.
The magistrate, Lord Liu, was really surprised. He pointed at the ditches and asked, “Miss Lin, this … Where did this water come from?”
Lin yuelan smiled and made a gesture of invitation. “Lord Liu, please!”
After a moment of surprise, county magistrate Liu went up the hill, starting from the first field at the foot of the mountain and then to the second …
The only thing he was curious about now was where this endless stream of water came from.
In the past, the sloping land could not be developed into fertile land because the water irrigation problem could not be solved.
When they reached the middle of the slope, the magistrate frowned and looked at the remaining forest trees and what looked like a pool in the pothole.
Lord Liu asked curiously again, “Miss Lin, why do you keep this piece of land and not cut it down and develop it into a field? ”
Lin yuelan only said indifferently, ” my Lord, this is preserved to solve the water flow problem.”
But she didn’t explain too much.
Because there was no need!
Whether Lord Liu’s purpose in coming here was for the people or for himself, it was hard to say.
Lord Liu was a smart man. When he heard Lin yuelan’s answer, he knew that she was unwilling to answer, and he was somewhat displeased.
No matter how close Lin yuelan was with the former county Magistrate, he was now the county Magistrate of An Ding County. She was just a peasant farmer girl without any background.
So, no matter what, she had to answer him properly.
Lord Liu’s slight frown indicated his displeasure, and Jiang Zhennan instantly caught it.
Then, he narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze swept indifferently toward Lord Liu.
Lord Liu’s senses were also sharp. He felt two sharp rays of light sweep toward him. He immediately looked at the source of the light and found that it was …
His expression immediately changed, and he thought to himself again, ‘what a sharp gaze! Such a look should not appear in an ordinary person. Who is this man?’
But then he thought of a rumor he had heard from the former county magistrate. It said that the man next to Lin yuelan must not be offended, or he would die without even knowing how.
‘Could this be the man Lord Zhou was talking about? If it’s really him, I’ll have to be careful today.’
Lord Liu continued to walk up. The farms above and below were no longer any different.
However, when he reached the top of the mountain, he once again found that the forest on the top of the mountain had also been preserved. There was also a pool-like thing, and it seemed to be bigger than the pool he had gone into.
“could this be the source of the water source? ” he asked.
But it didn’t make sense.
Even if the function of these ponds were to collect water and store it on rainy days, it would not be able to store much water since it did not rain that often. Plus, the water should have seeped down.
So, how could there be so much water to water the fields?
Although he had his doubts, Lord Liu did not ask any further.
He knew that even if he asked again, Lin yuelan would not answer him.
As a county magistrate, he didn’t want to be humiliated again.
Not long after, the group of people went down the mountain.
However, as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, someone immediately stopped the county magistrate and cried out for injustice.
“my Lord, you must stand up for me, ” Li Cuihua’s chubby body knelt in front of Lord Liu.
Lord Liu’s subordinate’s face darkened as he thought to himself, ‘where did this ignorant woman come from? She’s so insensible. She clearly knows that master is here for the farms, yet she is here to cry out for injustice.”
The leading bailiff was about to berate Li Cuihua, but Lord Liu waved him off and asked, ” what injustice do you have? ”
Li cuihua’s eyes brightened, and she said, ” Sir, I want to sue my third son for being disrespectful and unfilial!
Li cuihua’s words did not startle Lord Liu, but rather the people who were watching the show.
One had to know that li cuihua’s third son, Lin Sanniu, was the most filial son to them.
Now, this Li Cuihua actually brought her stupidest and most filial son to court? Everyone was shocked at first, but then there was a burst of mockery and ridicule.
