Chapter 39: Blackmail
For the next ten days, Yang Zixi was busy treating Han Ye's injuries, and he hardly had time to take care of the affairs of the medical hall. But the hospital was completely messed up, and Liu Xiucheng was imprisoned for false accusations, which meant that the sky had fallen for Cui's family!
She is a woman, what can she do? In the end, she asked for Master Liu through her sister-in-law.
Sitting in the front hall of Master Liu's carved beams and paintings, Cui Shi only felt uncomfortable, opposite, her sister-in-law kept snorting with a plate of melon seeds, and Master Liu was slowly sipping tea, looking indifferent.
Cui Shi licked his lips and said, "Sister...... Brother-in-law...... How can we say that we are all one family, not two families. My man was cheated by his junior sister, and he just begged to come to his brother-in-law, why did he turn his face and my man was put into the cell? No matter what, we are all bitter masters. This brother-in-law is the first time she has shouted.
Master Liu rolled his eyes, put down the teacup, and glanced at his wife, Cui's sister complained while spitting out the skin of melon seeds: "Sister, I didn't say you, and I asked us to do things without explaining the situation in advance." For the sake of your family's business, our master almost lost his errand! What a junior sister and little girl, it is clear that she is a character with a background in the background! Even the prefect has to give her three points, you guys are good, but you are holding my lord and hitting her head and faceless! Now that Dr. Liu has been arrested, it was sent by the prefect himself, and our master is helpless! ”
Hearing this, Cui Shi stood up from the chair and said, "No...... No way! How is this possible? ”
Master Liu spoke: "The master scolded me in front of the court, this has never happened. ”
Cui Shi fell into the chair like a force, covering his heart, and his head was in a mess. Does that little girl have a big background? How good is that? Now that the hospital is not coming back, even the men are being locked up, and their family really has no way to live!
She panicked, tears came down, and Cui Shi cried: "How is this good? Younger sister...... Younger sister...... Brother-in-law can't die without help! ”
Seeing that Cui's was in a mess, Master Liu hurriedly exchanged glances with his wife. Wang Yuanwai's silver has not been caught, but he can dig and dig the Liu family's silver again, doesn't he want to ransom people out? Then you have to have silver.
"Sister, don't cry first, crying won't solve any problems. Ay...... How can we say that it is also a family, how can we really see death and not save it? My lord has already instructed the jailer not to treat my brother-in-law badly, and when the limelight has passed, I will find the prefect to deliver a message, and the person will come out. Cui's sister soothed, "It's just ...... One thing I'm afraid will have a little impact on my nephew. ”
Hearing that it would have an impact on her son, Cui Shi became more and more anxious, and she hurriedly asked, "What impact will it be?" ”
Master Liu said: "According to the law of this dynasty, sinners are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations in the future. ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Cui Shi was dizzy. Their old Liu family is counting on their son Liu Xucheng, once his son can be admitted to Xiucai, the old Liu family will be regarded as a scholar, otherwise it will be the life of an inferior person for the rest of his life!
"No! Can't affect my son! No way! She cried out.
"It's a bit tricky." Master Liu said, "According to the prefect's intentions, Liu Xiucheng was falsely accused, and he was convicted after only three days of public trial. ”
Cui Shi was anxious, got up and stepped forward to grab Master Liu's sleeve and said, "Ying...... There should be a way, right? Anyway...... There should be a way to be accommodating, right? ”
Master Liu swept away her hand in disgust and said, "It's not that there is no way, it's easy to say, it's just silver to open the way." It's just that I don't know if your family can afford it? ”
Cui's heart is like a knife when he hears the words, silver? The money was used to prepare my son for the exam! Where do you not need silver to find a way to find a relationship? So she said with a bitter face: "Sister...... Sister and brother-in-law, our family really has no money. ”
"Without silver, our master is helpless!" Cui's sister-in-law scolded in her heart, her sister's family is revolving around her son, and the eldest nephew will go down to the examination room next year, how to say that the big few hundred taels of silver should be fully prepared, this time his man entered the cell, and he was reluctant to spend it, and he didn't know what to do with his stinginess!
"Yes, it's not like I want silver," Master Liu said again, "The matter of my brother-in-law is over, and the upper and lower officials know about it, so I have to take care of it, right?" The cell boss in prison has to be taken care of, right? The most important thing is that the prefect's share is indispensable, how can you say a few hundred taels is enough? If I don't have a point, there's nothing I can do. ”
Cui Shi let go of his hand, took a few steps back in a row, and muttered, "Let me think about it...... Think about it......" said and left Master Liu's house as if he were fleeing.
When Master Liu saw her going, he hugged his wife and said, "How much silver do you think we can squeeze out from the Liu family this time?" ”
Cui's sister-in-law leaned enchantingly on Master Liu, and said with a smile: "My sister's net worth is at least hundreds of miles!" The two of them are in the name of Doctor Dong, and they have made a lot of money over the years, if they don't get more, how can they be worthy of the master's busy work? ”
After that, the couple laughed.
But he said that Cui's returned to the hospital, and he had no idea about it, so he asked his son to discuss. Hearing this, Liu Xucheng's small face was full of frost. The matter of his father's complaint against the sister and brother surnamed Yang, he knew the truth, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point, indeed, if the father is charged, it will really affect his reputation.
Master Liu is obviously blackmailing, he can see it clearly than Cui's, but their Liu family is just a medical center, except for Master Liu's door, there is really no other way to get his father out of prison without guilt.
He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Mother, give the silver first, and then redeem my father." As long as I study poetry and books hard, and my writing is outstanding, even if I don't give money to the examiner, I can still win. In the future, when I become an official, it will not be too late for us to settle this account! ”
When Cui Shi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, yes! As long as the son is out of the future in the future, the old Liu family will not worry about anything, what is the point of suffering a little now?
So on the second day, Cui's took the silver ticket and went straight to Master Liu's mansion, and Liu Xiucheng was released from the cell two days later, but to the surprise of Cui's mother and son, Liu Xiucheng only stayed in prison for three days, but he saw that the whole person was not good!
