Under the corridor of the county lieutenant hall, Zhao Zhutou hurriedly came, looked left and right and didn't see Liu Sanlang, and asked others if he had just entered the county lieutenant hall, so he waited patiently outside, and waited left and right and didn't see him come out, so he walked in hard.

When they entered the house, they saw Liu Sanlang holding a file and talking to Liu County Lieutenant, and he didn't want to disturb them at the moment, so he bowed to the two of them and withdrew.

As soon as he came out, Liu Sanlang rubbed his temples and walked out, and said to Zhao Zhutou: "Zhao Zhutou, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhao Zhutou hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Yes, San Lang, I have something to say to you." ”

Liu Sanlang looked left and right, and saw that there were too many people around him to speak, so he walked a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, and stopped in the secluded pavilion and said, "What's the matter, Brother Zhao?" ”

Zhao Zhutou said: "Just now Zhao Gou'er came over and told me something." ”

Liu Sanlang said: "He didn't go to find food for those little beggars, how could he still have the kung fu to come to the yamen." ”

Zhao Zhutou smiled and said: "I'm here to fight for people!" ”

Liu Sanlang was stunned and said: "Why are people uneven? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhutou told him what was going on, he stood aside with his mouth closed.

When Liu Sanlang heard this, he waited for a while with a dark face before he said: "This Zhao Dagou doesn't take good care of his tea shed, he is nosy every day, and he doesn't know anyone, so he helps her out for no reason!" It's really salty and don't worry about eating radish! ”

Zhao Zhutou listened to him complain about the dog for a while, and when he stopped talking, he said softly beside him: "The child is not sensible, and when he saw the two of them selling themselves on the street, he couldn't stand the excitement, and ran over with a foolish head!" ”

Liu Sanlang nodded, and then scolded the dog for a few more words before saying: "This rule can't be broken, and it seems inappropriate for his family to ask for ten yuan for this kind of money." ”

Zhao Zhutou said yes, and opened his mouth again and said softly: "There are people coming and going on the streets of Dongshi, a large group of people are watching around, it has been a long time, and it is not very glorious for us, I think it is better to send them away as soon as possible, anyway, that person is about to be released from prison!" ”

Liu Sanlang rubbed his head again and said, "I also know, isn't this just thinking about how much is appropriate!" ”

Zhao Zhutou didn't dare to interject, so he had to hold his fists and say: "It's up to San Lang to decide." ”

Liu Sanlang waved his hand and said:

"Where can I call the shots, alas, if the county lieutenant receives less, it will not be easy to deal with it!"

Zhao Zhutou saw that he couldn't tell the number, so he reminded: "Why don't you ask the brother who handled this matter!" ”

Liu Sanlang clapped his hands and said, "Yes!" He turned his head and shouted loudly outside: "Li Dazui, come here!" ”

Li Dazui was chatting in the crowd, and when he heard his name being called, he twisted left and right, and when he saw Liu Sanlang and Zhao Zhutou in the pavilion behind him, he covered his swaying waist knife and ran over.

"San Lang, Brother Zhao, are you calling me?"

Liu Sanlang nodded and said, "Did Wang Erxiao's case go?" ”

Li Dazui said, "Well, it's me." ”

"How much money do you have to pay to his family?"

Li Dazui said softly: "Five guan money... ”

Liu Sanlang slapped the wooden railing next to him and said angrily: "Nonsense! People have been forced by you to sell themselves in the market, and they are still covering up there, honestly, I will clean you up carefully! ”

Li Dazui hurriedly said: "Third brother, according to the previous practice, his family's case will have to be at least five times a penny, but the brothers who followed me out only got a round of red difference today, doesn't this just ask her for a few more errands of silver... ”

Liu Sanlang pointed at his nose and scolded: "A bunch of stupid people, their eyes are covered with silver, aren't they!" Open your dog's eyes and see, can their family get ten pieces of silver? ”

Li Dazui was scolded by him several times, but he didn't dare to say a word, and finally waited for him to finish his anger before he spoke: "We didn't expect her family to be like this, I really didn't plan to force her to sell herself, I just thought she would go to the relatives around to borrow it." ”

Liu Sanlang looked at him upset, so he waved his hand to tell him to get out.

"Go and call Sun Kongmu!"

Li Dazui quickly nodded and ran out with his ass pouted.

A bunch of stupid talents, Liu Sanlang scolded fiercely, and Zhao Zhutou hurriedly comforted him on the side,

"San Lang Mo is angry, Li Dazui is usually very attentive, presumably a few white servants outside are greedy for money, and they are encouraging him to ask for more."

After a few more whispered chats, Sun Kongmu ran over.

Sun Kongmu, named Sun Zheng, is Wang Xiaoer's Kongmu, a man in his thirties with a short beard.

When he saw the two of them, he hugged his fists and said: "San Lang, Zhao Zhutou, you two call villains?" ”

Liu Sanlang nodded and said, "There is a thief named Wang Xiaoer, do you remember?" ”

Sun Kongmu thought about it, looked up and said, "Remember!" ”

"Tell me about his case inside and out!"

Sun Kongmu finished telling the story of the book, and when he said that he would be released from prison in ten days, Liu Sanlang waved his hand and said: "In this case, you will follow Zhao Zhutou out and end the case with Wang Xiaoer's Hun family in a while." ”

Sun Kongmu said: "Is it going to be released in advance?" How much does the bank collect! ”

Liu Sanlang didn't think about it patiently, and said directly: "You two look at the situation, just count as much as you want, so that you don't make me ugly in front of the county lieutenant, by the way, the case is closed, remember to shut up his family, don't talk nonsense without knowing what!" ”

Zhao Zhutou and Sun Kongmu hurriedly hugged their fists, and walked out together.

On the way, Zhao Zhutou told him what happened before and after again.

When he went out of the yamen, he saw that Zhao Gou'er was still waiting at the side door, so he introduced Sun Kongmu to him.

After the two of them saluted each other, Zhao Zhutou said, "Little dog, didn't you let you go back, why are you still waiting here?" ”

The dog said: "My brother is running inside for this, how can the kid be embarrassed to go back and sit and rest, and besides, it's okay for me to go back, and I can be brisk here for a while!" ”

Zhao Zhutou smiled and said, "Then let's go together, by the way, Wang Xiaoer's Hun family, is it still on the street?" ”

The dog had short legs, and the three of them were left behind when they walked, and when he asked himself, he quickly walked a few steps and followed: "On such a cold day, she still has a nursing baby, so I let her go to the tea shop to stay." ”

The three of them left in a hurry, and they didn't have time to speak when they met the big fool who delivered firewood.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the big bowl of tea shop opened by the dog, Zhao Zhutou had passed by many times, but it was the first time to enter here.

It was now afternoon, and the only customers in the shop were left with an elderly man, who seemed to be a reader, holding a book in his hand and reading it with fascination.

A few of the harmful dogs did not dare to speak loudly when they entered the shop, and a few people came to discuss things, and what was the matter of talking in a dumb voice, and looked at the breeze blowing outside the house from time to time, and the dog pointed and led the two to the back kitchen.

Let the big stone run out and bring a bench for the two of them to sit on, and the room was already packed, and the big bowl of tea took two bowls and handed them to the two, and he himself flashed out, and went to find the young woman first.

When the woman heard that two men from the yamen had come to see her, her legs began to tremble, and the hall was only about ten steps away from the back kitchen, and the woman had not reached it for a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that her pale face always looked back at herself, the dog sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to go in with you?" ”

The woman nodded quickly.

I finally mustered up the courage to enter the house, and immediately my true form was revealed.

Sun Kongmu said, "That woman, you are Wang Xiaoerhun's family!" So she was frightened, hugged the baby in her arms tightly, and knelt on the ground.

Dogs: ......

coughed and dragged her, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, what did the master ask you about!" ”

The woman nodded in a panic and did not reply.

Seeing this, Sun Kongmu knew that she was a timid person, so he muttered to the two people next to him, and said directly to her: "You woman, the officials in the yamen said that your husband Wang Xiaoer originally had more than ten days in prison, but the yamen will have annual leave tomorrow, and according to the custom, it needs to be postponed for one month, you either take out the guarantee silver and take him home, or give him some food, clothing and silver to eat and drink in prison!" Do you understand? ”

Hearing the name of her husband, Wang Xiaoer, the woman finally had some courage, raised her head and stammered: "Official, official, as long as I let my husband come out, I can do anything, I can do laundry and cooking... ”

All:......

The dog hurriedly reminded: "Sister-in-law, the official is talking about money." ”

Hearing the money, the woman's face immediately darkened, and she said silently: "I heard that my husband has entered the prison, and my relatives have cut off contact with me, only a few neighbors are still helping me, my husband is an honest man, if it weren't for the baby's illness and urgent need to use money to buy medicine, he wouldn't have done this stupid thing......

No matter what kind of tragic reason it is, stealing is stealing, and being caught and sentenced by the government is also deserved, otherwise wouldn't all the wicked people in the world fall into trouble?

Seeing the impatient looks of Zhao and Sun, the dog hurriedly pulled the crying woman and said, "Sister-in-law, how much money do you still have in your family?" ”

The woman said softly, "I only made up what I borrowed, and I came with the money three times... ”

Hearing that she only had three yuan of money, Sun Kongmu shook his head and bit his ear at Zhao Zhutou next to him and said: "At least five yuan of money, the county lieutenant can only talk, if this money is only to pay for food and clothing in prison, it is still feasible, if not, ......"

Hearing this, the dog hurriedly waved his hand and interjected: "The two poor masters will wait for a while, and I will ask my sister-in-law again to see if she can borrow more." ”

When he had finished speaking, he took the woman and walked out.

When he arrived in the middle hall, Gou'er first glanced sideways at the old scholar who was still obsessed with reading, and then whispered to her: "Sister-in-law is just two dollars away, and then think about it, otherwise Brother Wang will have to endure another month of torture, and there are rats and cockroaches running around on the ground in the big winter in the prison, so that he can come out a day earlier and suffer one day sooner, and when the eldest brother comes out, he will find an errand and make up for it in less than two months!" ”

The woman said with a bitter face: "Xiao Langjun, the baby was sick and spent all the family's savings, and then his father went to prison to pay the fine, and I borrowed it from the neighbor's family, and this morning I went to borrow it again to raise the money."

"I also know that my husband will be released from prison as soon as possible, but I really have no choice, so I will 'sell myself' in the market."

The dog sighed, this family is even worse than himself!

Sanguan money still has it here, but if she preserves it, the thirty or so mouths behind her will really run out of food.

It's really a scripture that is difficult to read! The two of them sighed in unison.

Suddenly, seeing that the old scholar seemed to be leaving, Liu Hong walked over to collect his tea money, and I don't know what's wrong, the two of them quarreled.
