Traveled through time and space to become a widow, and became rich with her three children

Chapter 117 Those who are clean will clean themselves up

After pouring the potion, Jin Yuyao waited quietly under the tree nearby.

It wasn't long before I saw a few villagers walking towards this side.

A man asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jin Yuyao was originally sitting in the shade under a tree, where it was cooler. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw several men coming, then stood up.

"My brothers, please help me develop some potions. Let's try them out in the fields to see if they work on the locusts."

The villager looked at Jin Yuyao coldly, "What potion? Could it be that those locusts were attracted by your potion? A woman who's not at home taking care of the children is talking about developing a potion to cure locusts. I think those locusts were attracted by you."

The villagers who came with them also commented: "Yes, I think what they said makes sense."

For a moment, the villagers' emotions were aroused by that villager and they surrounded Jin Yuyao.

Jin Yuyao explained loudly: "Fellow villagers, please don't be anxious and listen to me first. You should be able to tell from my accent that I am not from here. I came here to solve the problem of locusts. If I want to prevent and treat locusts, where can I get so many locusts to put in the fields? I have only been here for a few days.

This obviously doesn’t make sense.”

One of the villagers said, "Xu County Magistrate doesn't even think about managing us. Who are you? Why should you manage us?"

Just as Jin Yuyao was about to say it was Prince An, she thought of her current situation and said, "We were sent here by the prefect. He's currently preparing food. Isn't there already a porridge distribution center in the county?"

"Fellow villagers, don't listen to his nonsense. She is just deceiving you. I think she has bad intentions. Otherwise, why would a stranger come here and not take care of her own place? Don't you agree?"

The people around were discussing, "Yeah, you said a woman really came here to kill the locusts? Why would the prefect let a woman deal with the locusts? I don't think it's credible. Men are useless, so they need a woman."

"Yeah, I feel the same way. This woman must be lying."

Although they were talking in low voices nearby, the villagers all had loud voices, so even if they thought they were speaking quietly, Jin Yuyao could still hear it clearly.

Jin Yuyao opened her mouth to explain, but the villagers were so loud that they couldn't hear what she said at all.

At this time, she felt that the villagers must have been taken advantage of.

They are now very excited and don't want to listen to what I have to say at all.

Jin Yuyao knew that someone must have instigated the villagers to no longer know or want to know the truth of the matter.

I have to find a way to escape, otherwise I will suffer a loss today.

Jin Yuyao spoke at the top of her lungs, "Fellow villagers, don't listen to rumors. The imperial court won't ignore us. Haven't you heard that the city has started distributing porridge today?"

Someone said later: "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is just trying to deceive you so that she can leave here."

"Yes, yes, he said that just to leave. Don't believe what he said."

Jin Yuyao tried her best to explain: "Don't just believe what others say. You can go into the city and see for yourself if I'm lying."

For a while, the villagers were talking about it. Some felt that what Jin Yuyao said made some sense. One person left quietly, and some felt that she was just lying.

Seeing that the crowd was getting a little less tense, Jin Yuyao started to work harder.

"I said I developed a potion to kill locusts. I have evidence. If you don't believe me, follow me."

Someone in the crowd said, "Don't believe her words. She is just a scam."

Jin Yuyao laughed and said, "Why would I lie to you? It's right in front of you, but you guys don't dare to go there and instead suspect me. Think about it, who is the liar?

Anyone who wants to come, please come and take a look."

Jin Yuyao walked forward automatically, and some villagers in front of her consciously made way for her.

Someone behind him said, "Why not go and take a look? If she's lying, we'll know immediately. After all, she said seeing is believing."

There were only one or two people behind Jin Yuyao at the beginning, but later there were more and more people.

She came to where the potion was.

Jin Yuyao squatted down and looked at the dead grasshoppers beside her. She picked up one and said, "Look at this and you should know whether I am telling the truth or not. Look at the dead grasshoppers on the ground."

Everyone looked at what Jin Yuyao was holding in her hand and then at the pile of dead grasshoppers on the ground.

"You know what, a lot of people died."

"That's right. I thought she was here just to cause trouble."

"It seems that she was really sent by the prefect. Does that mean we have hope?"

The instigator said, "Don't be fooled, they are just a few dead grasshoppers. Who knows if they are trying to trick us? Maybe they got some dead grasshoppers from somewhere and put them there."

Jin Yuyao said, "Let's wait for the people who went to the city to give out porridge to come back."

The man rolled his eyes and said, "We can't just listen to this woman and do everything she says. She's sure of us. Let's arrest her now."

Some people in the crowd said the same thing as the shifty-eyed man, while others disagreed, and for a moment people started arguing.

When things were getting difficult, the people who went into the city to see the situation came back running.

Jin Yuyao said, "No need to wait. The innocent will be innocent. The person who went to the city has returned. She is your neighbor, right? Let's hear what she has to say."

The man came back with a cheerful face and shouted as he approached the crowd, "Is there really a porridge distribution service in the city?"

The shifty-eyed man asked, "Then why are you back so late?"

The man who came back smiled and said, "That's because there were too many people. I had a hard time squeezing in. It was also difficult to get out. It was really crowded. Isn't that why I came back late?"

For a moment, people's opinions turned to Jin Yuyao, and the man wanted to escape because he saw that there was no result today.

Jin Yuyao said: "Now everyone knows that what I said is true, right? The person who has been leading you to catch me now wants to escape. She is confusing right and wrong and still wants to catch me. If she does this, the locusts will never be stopped.

I don't know what kind of evil intentions this person has. Now he wants to escape, can you let him escape?"

Everyone was watching: "Who is this? How could he be so vicious?"

Jin Yuyao pointed at the skinny guy with shifty eyes who was trying to run away at the back and said, "That's him."
