"Please wait, little brother, and we'll go when the clumsy Jing cleans up." Ren Qiu replied that when she looked back at Mrs. Ren, she was already in high spirits choosing clothes. Ren Qiu shook his head helplessly, this banquet is definitely not that simple, it is better to tell Yaoshan about the matter here quickly, if there is any change, it is better to take precautions.

The banquet is set in the private residence of the governor, the people invited to the banquet are basically either rich or noble, the Zhili at the feet of the Son of Heaven is extremely prosperous, naturally it is not comparable to Yaoshan and the north, Ren Qiu looked at the luxury here, thought about his decades of conscientiousness, and couldn't help but laugh at himself for not knowing who to fight for, and then look at the wives of those officials, all of them are graceful and luxurious, they and their wives seem to have never seen the world here, if everyone is like this, how can Da Zhou be strong?

When it was time to toast, the governor saw Ren Qiu, who was drinking alone, and came to him with a wine bottle, and the low-ranking officials who followed him also followed. "This is General Ren Qiu, who guarded the northern border in the early years, had many military exploits, and later fought in Annan, and now he is the lord of Yaoshan City." An official sneered: "His subordinates know that he has military merits to squeeze out today's Lord Shangshu in the barracks, causing a mutiny, the emperor cherishes talents and does not kill him, but just demotes him to the city lord, and he does this job as an official, if I am him, I will die with my head!" ”

Everyone laughed, Ren Qiu's face was ugly for a while while with the wine bottle, and the governor patted him on the shoulder: "Colleagues joke with each other, and please don't be angry, they are all mouthful, this is not, this official likes your style the most, although your county is small, but there has never been an incident, in a few years, when the officials are selected, I will say a few good words for you, who will let you, you give more money." The governor was full of alcohol, and he was already speechless at this time, Ren Qiu was unwilling to be humiliated, and just said: "The subordinates still have something to do, so retire first." So he went to the back house to find his wife and left the house.

Along the way, Mrs. Ren only knew that he was angry, and this kind of thing appeared a lot as early as when he was just degraded, and those officials thought that he had offended Liu Huizu, and they were proud to impeach him for a while. Fortunately, the emperor remembered that he had fought for the country for many years, and he also knew that he was carrying the pot for Liu Huizu this time, and he did not pursue it again, sparing his life, but the group of officials no longer refused to give him performance evaluation.

On the erection day, the governor sent someone to invite again, and the building was already empty, and any autumn and vine grass left Baoding Mansion as soon as the city gate opened in the early morning. When he arrived at Yaoshan, Zhao Qian asked, "How long can you buy 300,000 yuan?" Ren Qiu said: "In exchange for half a year of peace, after half a year, if you can't pay back the army, I'm afraid that Baoding will be suspicious again." Xu Yuan said: "Enough is enough, half a year is enough, by the way, general, go and see your brother-in-law, he is still waiting for you to come back in the prison." ”

His brother-in-law was thrown into prison, and Ren Qiu hurriedly looked at Zhaoqian. Zhao Qian said: "He said that he was robbed of 300,000 taels of silver, I asked him to take out the voucher, but he began to scold the street, in public, in view of this is your family matter, I will wait for you to come back and deal with it, but you don't have to worry, he eats and sleeps well, and the scolding is also loud, go and see." Ren Qiu glared at Xu Yuan: "You actually robbed the 300,000 taels of splashed skin?" How can I explain this? Xu Yuan looked at him innocently: "I definitely can't come forward, I can't hide it, I also beat him, the money is spent by you, the person is your brother-in-law, you don't care, do you want the prince to invite Mrs.?" ”

When I arrived at the prison, I saw the king sitting on the ground outside, pointing outside and scolding: "In the past, my brother-in-law was the lord of the city, how dare you do this to me, but now the phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, even you villains, dare to climb on the head of grandpa and shout, and when your grandpa goes out, you see how I clean you up!" Ren Qiu went to see him, and as soon as Wang Yuanwai saw that the person who came was his brother-in-law, he quickly jumped up: "Brother-in-law, please let me out quickly, what about my sister, why didn't she come, does she know that I am being locked up here?" Ren Qiu shook his head: "We all just came back, no, I came to see you." ”

When he took him back to Ren's mansion, as soon as he saw the vines, he began to cry: "My sister, you don't know what kind of grievances my brother and I have suffered in the past few days since you were away, they are not human." Mrs. Ren looked at Ren Qiu suspiciously, and then at her younger brother: "Say it, what's going on." Wang Yuanwai cried and said: "A gang of bandits broke into my house, robbed me of 300,000 taels of silver, and beat me, I came to the city to look for you, you are not there, I will go to the yamen, who knows that those people don't recognize me, and beat me out, I scolded those villains a few words, and put me in prison, sister, you help me get this justice." ”

The criing pear blossom with the rain was covered with tears on the fat face of the king, and Ren Qiu said: "How much money did they rob you?" Wang Yuanwai looked at his brother-in-law: "Robbed me of 300,000 taels of silver, brother-in-law!" 300,000 taels, the savings of my Wang family's ancestors for generations. Mancao also said angrily: "Where is the thief, he actually robbed my house for money." Ren Qiu hurriedly took over the conversation: "300,000? Do you know what 300,000 is? In my city, the annual tax revenue is only 50,000 or 300,000, where did your Wang family get so much money? It's not worth so much to sell your ancestor Zigong, where did you get the money? ”

At this time, both of them began to diverge from each other. Wang Yuanwai said: "What kind of money, in fact, it's only three thousand taels, not that much at all, brother-in-law, you know me, I don't know how to do business, just rely on the little land at home where I have so much money, I must have said it wrong just now." But I was beaten solidly, and my father was distressed and said that my sister would definitely be able to get justice for me. Ren Qiu nodded: "It just so happens that I have three thousand taels of silver here, you take it back and report it to my father-in-law first, and say that the money has been recovered, let the old man rest assured first, and then I will check it slowly." ”

Wang Yuanwai was dumbfounded, 300,000 taels were lost, and he wanted to send me away if he gave me 3,000 taels? He was embarrassed and said, "But I have been wronged in the Yamen, and you can't ignore me." Ren Qiu nodded: "Okay, I know, I will punish them, let's do it first, you have been out for so long, your father-in-law must be worried about you at home, I haven't cleaned up here yet, so I won't leave you to eat, go back early." ”
