After Chen Qing handed over the letter to his family, he hurried out of the cell.

Qingping County has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters one after another, causing public resentment, and I don't know who is the leader, many people drag their families and hold silver tickets to block the door of the county government to exchange silver.

The yacha blocked wave after wave, if it weren't for their duty, even they wanted to take out the silver tickets issued by Liao Ji Qian Zhuang in exchange for cash.

He Zhi County was full of ambition and instructed to "tell them that the county government is only temporarily in charge, and it will be opened in exchange for the case when the case is clarified, the people do not need to panic, and the government will not privately swallow the people's hard-earned money."

The master frowned and pondered for a moment, and then took the order to do it.

It is said that the seizure of Liao Ji is a public business, and it is normal for people to worry about family property, but it is far from the point of blocking the door for silver, and this is not a bankruptcy, so why worry about the loss of silver?

After thinking about it, the master had to think about the worst of things, and in addition to the big families who could incite the people to make trouble, only the two families of Liang Liao who committed the crime were left.

Yesterday, He Zhi County received a letter from the prefect, and today there are foolish people making trouble, except for malicious provocation, the master does not do what he wants...... The reason why he did not inform the county magistrate in advance of the embankment was also selfish.

There are people in the court who are easy to do, and he knows that the county is only a county official the size of a sesame seed, and it is very likely that stealing chickens and rice this time will not be successful, if he has not been entrenched in the county for many years, he would not know how to do it.

Slightly hooked the corners of his lips, trying to understand the key, the master immediately vaguely conveyed the words of the county magistrate to the people of the county.

The masses, who were already skeptical, were immediately in an uproar.

In the crowd, the instigators tried their best to extort the people to ask for money, and if they were really in charge for the time being, why were they not allowed to exchange the money on the spot? Could it be that the corrupt officials wanted to take it for private use and privately swallow up the people's hard-earned money under the pretext of seizing the money bank?

Seeing that the situation was developing in an unpredictable direction, the master pretended to fall and let people in......

When the angry people rushed into the county government to ask for an explanation, even the government was imprisoned by their own families, and no one would stop He Zhi County.

When it comes to silver, no matter how honest people are, they will also be eye-catching, not to mention that it is a disaster year now, and the consumption of all the food has doubled, and when the spring of the next year comes, silver will be used everywhere.

The current silver is too conspicuous, put it at home for fear of thieves, far less convenient and easy to store than the silver ticket, Liao Ji is the largest money village in the county, and even the businessmen and rich gentry are accustomed to storing their family property here, not to mention the ordinary people.

In order to be safe, most people do not hesitate to spend a small amount of custody fees, just to give up the small and protect the big. The money village that thought it was foolproof was very likely to let the silver of a lifetime of hard work go down the drain at this moment, and the big families were still able to stay in the rear and send domestic servants to investigate, while the ordinary people were the killers who burned their butts.

The county magistrate was surrounded by a crowd of people, and just calmed down the angry people, and ushered in a large housekeeper. He explained over and over again with a dry mouth, and finally couldn't help shaking his temperament, took out the prestige of the county magistrate, and bluntly said that he represented the imperial court, how could he make a move of embezzlement of private property? If he is still not at ease, the county government will open it on his behalf early tomorrow morning in exchange.

Knowing the exact news, the panicked people were reassured, and there were voices in the crowd, and the county magistrate was benevolent and righteous, and they made an appointment to come early in the morning to exchange silver.

He Zhixian waited for the people to run out, and only then spread his butt on the Taishi's chair, where is this? Why is the situation completely chaotic all of a sudden? If the exchange is promised, there will be no three or five days to exchange the silver ticket.

Moreover, exchanging silver is not the goal, Liao Kee has been in office for hundreds of years, and its assets have long been immeasurable, not only there are a large number of customers in nearby towns and villages who have deposited silver, but even travelers or traders who have left their hometowns are accustomed to storing silver in Liao Kee.

Once Liao Ji goes out of business, these stubs will no longer exist in three and five years, even if you find the county office, there is no proof of death, and the final destination of this large amount of money is naturally impossible to verify, just put all the charges on the head of the imprisoned Liao family.

What He Zhixian didn't expect was that not only ordinary people came to the door to exchange for small silver tickets, but even large families sent their families early to bring horse-drawn carriages to transport silver to their homes.

It's no wonder that He Zhi County is not good, the doorway in this, the ordinary people may not know, how can the thief's old man's account not know, He Zhi County's selfishness, just like looking for lice on the top of the bald man, no matter how conspicuous it is.

I am afraid that He Zhixian is too greedy, and he is busy rushing to exchange silver, for fear that in the end, he will have no silver to take.

The head of the county government is busy with his work, and he is also bitter when he responds to the errand, and the silver is really heavy, and it took a lot of effort to move from the Liao family, and then he changes hands at this moment, not only is he tired, but he is also tired. The people gathered outside the door, although they lined up in a proper manner, they had to be urged again and again to get it as soon as possible.

Entrusted people to go to the relationship of the queue to change the silver also made a messenger annoyed, and then hurriedly passed three days, before the county silver ticket was exchanged, and the people from other counties who came to the letter were just taken out of the cash and sent to other money banks, for fear of carrying heavy silver, and then being looted on the way back.

He Zhixian saw that the mountains of gold and silver in the house were decreasing day by day, and he could only blame the villain for being sad, otherwise how could this large amount of dirty silver pass away like flowing water?

Without waiting for He Zhixian to be in pain, the master bookkeeper came to inform him that a stranger had come to exchange silver.

He Zhixian waved his hand weakly, and just went to exchange for it, don't bother him with such trivial things.

The main book is He Zhixian's henchman, and at this time he was already anxious and sweating, "How can the master be so idle? That's 300,000 taels of tickets, and the amount of empty treasury silver can't be made up!"

He Zhixian raised his head in surprise, and his breath was not good, "It's just 300,000 taels, what are you panicking about...... What do you say? 300,000 taels?"

At first glance, I heard that 300,000, how did I know that the county didn't care much, after all, the two days of the big bank to withdraw money is not only this number, but also the number of gambling houses and merchants who came to exchange, but now the big ticket is basically changed, Liao Ji's inventory has already bottomed out, and there are big tickets at this time, isn't it really necessary to empty before you are willing to stop?

Without waiting for He Zhixian to be heartbroken, the master bookkeeper gritted his teeth and prompted, "It's gold! 300,000 taels of gold!"

"Golden ...... Gold?" Huo Ran got up, faintly feeling a little dizzy, when emptying the Liao Ji vault, in order to prevent ears and eyes, the silver boxes were sealed, and now they are about to be empty, and at this time, 7.5 million taels of silver tickets will appear, even if the Liao family's old house is resold to make up such a large amount of silver.

He Zhixian stabilized his mind and paced in the house to ponder, this sudden big ticket was too weird, he couldn't help thinking nonsense, and after thinking about it for a long time, he secretly scolded the Liao family for being treacherous, and he had already calculated this step. I'm afraid that this person is not good, and in order to protect the Liao family's sinners, he rushed to make trouble at this juncture......

If he had been vigilant in the morning, how could he have fallen into this trap? But now that he is about to be promoted, as long as the case is dragged out until it is concluded, he will not worry about pressing down this trap.

"Let's just say that the county government is busy with official business, and the remaining silver tickets will be processed after the year," He Zhixian hurriedly ordered, and then ordered:

"Hurry up and find out the details of this person, if it is unknown, arrest him directly, and deal with him as an accomplice...... If this person has a lot of background, he can drag it out, you can deal with it yourself" He Zhixian gritted his teeth and said in annoyance, and called the master to discuss the next strategy.

At first glance, solving the case has become an imminent top priority, and now it is necessary to close the case as soon as possible, convict and sentence Liao Ji and others, as long as he makes an official document, his great ability can only become a fish on the board and be slaughtered.

The yamen suspended the exchange, which provoked the common people to complain, but most of the families had already completed the exchange, and the rest of the people were quickly suppressed by the yamen even if they made trouble.

The stranger who exchanged money before the year was supervised by the yacha in the Tongji Inn, although his movement was restricted, he did not have much worry. When the main register verified the household registration, he unexpectedly found that this foreigner was originally a person from the county, who had been wandering abroad for many years, and his business was all over the north and south of the river.

After He Zhixian heard about it, he was so worried that he couldn't catch it, and he couldn't give it, it was really difficult to do. It was expected that the men and horses who had escorted the evidence would be returned in three days, but they didn't know what had gone wrong halfway, and the flying pigeon passed the news that it would take ten days to arrive.

Ten more days will be before the New Year, when the Yamen will be closed, and all the cases will be dealt with after the year, not to mention the changes, just 300,000 taels of golden tickets will be enough for He Zhixian to drink a pot.

He Zhixian was in a hurry, and the Liang family was also in full swing to arrange manpower to obstruct the return to the city.

The ten dart masters in the family were all secretly sent to do things, and the remaining godmasters guarded the old house of the Liang family, closed the door all day long, and even the tenants who came to ask for food were sent back.

The back road was blocked, and a dry tenant had to endure hunger, catch up with natural disasters, and the New Year's Festival was no different from ordinary days.

The tenants supported by the Liang family are so difficult, not to mention those difficult households, life can not go on abounds, and the sale of children and daughters is also quietly carried out before the arrival of the New Year.

Liu Daidi was more than six months pregnant, and when she saw the girl next door being taken away, she couldn't help but feel sad when she touched her stomach. is also a woman, listening to the heart-rending cry of A-Niang, I feel sorry for her in my heart, and I can't help but worry secretly.

If he catches up with the disaster year after his death, he is really afraid that Chen Ping will not be able to stand it and sell his own flesh and blood cheaply. After all, there is a ruthless mother-in-law by his side, Chen Ping's ears are soft, if he really can't stand it, he is very likely to do the stupid thing of betraying his son and brother.

There is still half a bag of polished rice left to survive a year ago, which is a surplus for the entire Chenjiagou. But if there is no disaster relief after the year, I am afraid that my own family will not be able to withstand the spring famine.

Chen Ping entered the yard with a sad face, and took his increasingly plump daughter-in-law back to the house to avoid the cold, and said with a dissatisfied lesson: "What are you doing in the yard on a cold day?

Liu Daidi flattened his mouth and said, "I saw that you went out for a long time and didn't return, so I was anxious to go out and wait for you."

Chen Ping's heart softened, and he responded with a smile, "What are you panicking about?

Liu Daidi snuggled into Chen Ping's chest, smiling with pleasure, even if this man is weak and incompetent, that is the only world he can rely on, as long as Chen Ping has him in his heart, what does it matter if he dies?

Chen Ping coughed secretly, and quickly grabbed Dai Di and said with a smile, "I've eaten outside, and I'll save the rest for dinner, our son will be able to come out in more than three months, and we have to leave some polished rice to feed the baby, right?"

Liu Daidi smiled reluctantly, got up and went out, took a bowl of gruel, and stuffed it into her husband's hand, "If you starve to death, who will take care of the doll?"

Chen Ping laughed twice, looked at the gruel in the bowl and whispered, "I'm not hungry, let's drink it."

Liu Daidi is also hungry, and pregnancy is the time when she can eat, but the family is about to be unable to open the pot, how can she let herself eat and drink with her belly open? As the saying goes, poor couples mourn everything, although they enjoy the warm moment at this moment, they can't help but be diluted by the overstretched current situation.

"Chen Ping......" Liu Daidi called in a low voice, and murmured in a lonely tone, "You can treat me like this, even if you die, I have no regrets in the world"

"What nonsense!" Chen Ping glared and shouted, life was already difficult, and at this time, what did he say that he would not die? Seeing that several old people in the village were starving to death, no matter how ruthless he was, he would not be able to listen to life and death at this time.

Liu Daidi smiled sadly, "Drink it quickly, in the future, our father and son will all rely on you to take care of it, if I am hungry, I can't bear to ......"

"I still like to listen to this" Chen Ping smiled and drank the dry rice soup, fed the remaining few rice grains into his daughter-in-law's mouth, and smiled evilly.

His daughter-in-law is getting more and more pretty, and it is not a loss that he feeds so much rice and noodles into his stomach, and he has a better life, and then pulls a few pieces of flower cloth, which is not inferior to those pretty guys in the town.

After falling asleep at night, Chen Ping thought that he couldn't sleep well, so he simply got up and put on his clothes and went to the courtyard to blow the wind.

Raising a pregnant husband is equivalent to feeding two more people, even if he asks for a lot of rice and noodles from the Liang family, it is not enough for the pregnant man to eat and drink three meals a day. But he didn't have much ability, his only relative became an irrelevant stranger, his father and mother couldn't count on it, and there were no cousins in the village who could borrow power.

Just as he was worried about how to be a good time after the New Year, Chen Ping's sharp eyes saw a figure popping out of the next door, sneakily masking his face and touching towards the entrance of the village.

Chen Laosan just sold his daughter today, this will sneak out of the village must not do anything good, plus his face is covered, it is estimated that he wants to steal chickens and dogs and is afraid of being looked down upon, Chen Ping didn't wait to think about it, so he pulled a rag at home and hung behind him faintly around his mouth and nose.

No matter what Chen Laosan wants to do, even if he can't share the benefits, he will definitely not suffer.
