Shangyuan County Yahoutang,

Looking at the paintings sent by Zhao Langzhongzheng, Hu Weiliang did not refuse, this is not a "bribe", but it is just a gift of calligraphy and paintings between friends, and there are officials who bribe their subordinates.

"Oh, Brother Zhao really has a heart, I don't know what Brother Zhao commands?"

Putting down this painting of Tang Bohu, he looked at the house slave of the Zhao family in front of him and asked.

"Back to the old man, my old man said that as long as there is no plaintiff in this case, it will naturally be over, as long as the old man is convenient, let Liang Mai Po (1) go to the women's prison to talk to the original owner about some reason, and the others dare not bother the master."

Hearing this, Hu Weiliang's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart, Lang Zhongzheng really deserves to be Lang Zhongzheng, and his means of doing things are indeed not comparable to ordinary people, so he nodded.

"Well, I know."

For Xu Niangzi, who inexplicably got into a lawsuit and was almost taken as a fugitive slave, from the moment she was imprisoned, the whole person lost her soul and didn't know why, locked up in this dark prison, except for hugging her head and crying for her life, she had no other ideas.

"Why am I so miserable......"

When Xu Niangzi was crying, there were footsteps outside the cell, and then the female prison messenger opened her cell door, listening to the movement of the prison door, Xu Niangzi, who had been huddled in the corner, raised her head nervously, she saw a middle-aged woman behind the prison messenger, and the woman smiled when she saw her.

"Yo, no wonder it's so annoying, the little lady looks really handsome, even if I'm a man, I'm afraid I'll be fascinated by you."

"You, who are you?"

Although she didn't know this woman, Xu Niangzi could also tell that this person was definitely not a prisoner who was imprisoned.

"Sister, my husband's surname is Liang, and he usually walks the streets and alleys to sell something to the female relatives in the courtyard of the deep house, if my sister doesn't dislike it, just call me sister."

Covering her nose with a handkerchief, Liang Maipo frowned.

"Sister, the smell here is really bad enough, if I am my sister, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in this place for half an hour, it is for my sister that you are sorry, otherwise my sister will never come here."

Xu Niangzi's eyes were full of puzzlement, what did she mean by this?

"No, I don't know what my sister is looking for me?"

"It's a good thing."

Liang Mai Po said as she spoke, and took Xu Niangzi's hand again and said.

"Oh, my sister's hand is really delicate, even the little lady's hand is nothing more than that, look at your appearance, it's no wonder that you will cause such a disaster, hey, the Zhao Gongzi who killed that day is really not a thing......"

Xu Niangzi was heartbroken and scolded Zhao Gongzi, but she said again.

"But sister, there is an old saying since ancient times that "the people don't fight with the officials", then Zhao Gongzi is no longer a thing, and he is also the son of a dignified Zhongzheng master's family. ”

"Sister, you, what do you mean?"

Xu Niangzi, whose eyes were red from crying, looked at the woman in front of her nervously.

"Sister, you heard me say, my sister is not from a big family, but she has been a seller for more than 20 years, and she can be regarded as seeing some of the world, and the house of the big family is also perennial. Do you think that's the truth? ”

Xu Niangzi's eyes were wide red and swollen, and she didn't know why she looked at the Qianliang selling wife, so the selling woman who walked the streets and alleys in and out of the back house of a big family to sell things must be people who had seen the world, and of course she didn't doubt what she said. And that's the same thing.

"Sister, I, I...... Again, it's not someone I'm trying to provoke. ”

Seeing that Xu Niangzi was getting more and more nervous, Liang Mai Po sneered in her heart, but her face was close.

"Hey, don't we women know that women, my sister is born with such a good appearance, it will inevitably make people greedy and cause trouble, but in the end, my sister has not suffered a loss today, my sister said something inappropriate, since she didn't suffer a loss, forget it, if you are entangled, ordinary people can still fight against high-ranking officials and nobles?"

"I, I ......"

Xu Niangzi's eyes drooped and muttered.

"Again, it's not me who is going to pester others, and Shi, Shi Gongzi said......"

"Sister, how can Shi Gongzi beat others? Sister, Shi Gongzi is a good person, but you must not harm others, you think, Shi Gongzi helped you, but if you fight with the Zhao family, you may have to suffer a big loss in the end, look at Shi Gongzi is also a scholar, if you give a reputation, maybe this life will be in vain, do you say this reason? ”

"Ahh

With her eyes wide, Xu Niangzi immediately ran out of ideas.

"Then, wouldn't that hurt Shi Gongzi."

"Isn't it, sister, according to me, you can't hurt people."

"But, but Shi Gongzi said......"

Thinking about what Shi Gongzi said before, Xu Niangzi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liang Maipo.

"Sister, is it possible that you really want to harm others and lose your fame?"

Xu Niangzi, who had no idea, nervously grabbed Liang Mai's hand.

"Sister, then, what now?"

"This matter, it's easy to say, when I came, Mrs. Zhao said, as long as you withdraw the case, the Zhao family will no longer pursue this matter, and send you another 200 taels of silver to suppress the shock, with the silver, you can also send the bones of Xiang Gongzi back to his hometown in Sichuan, right? From now on, I will live my life well. ”

"I, I don't want silver......"

Xu Niangzi shook her head again and again, and tears flowed down again as she spoke.

"Then, that Shi Gongzi's side, this, it's really okay?"

"Sister, don't worry, it's definitely fine, as long as you withdraw this case, this matter will naturally be over, and Shi Gongzi's side will naturally be fine."

Seeing that Xu Niangzi had already gone on the road, Liang Mai Po was very proud in her heart, not only was she convinced, but even the two hundred taels of silver...... I went into my pocket, too.

"Then, then, if so, I, I should ......"

Speaking of which, Xu Niangzi couldn't cry anymore, holding her head and whining.

The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Shi Yiwen was still asleep, when he heard someone shouting outside the door.

"Alright, don't sleep, what kind of place is this!"

When Shi Yiwen, who was awakened from a dream, was still in a daze, a yacha came in and said.

"I said, two of you, I really thought this was an inn, hurry up, pack up the rope, get out of there......"

In confusion, Shi Yiwen saw that Zhang Jingxiu didn't know when, but he had already woken up and dressed up.

"It's ......"

"Chase us away."

"What about the case?"

"What case? The original owner is gone, and there is still a case. Hurry up, get out of ......."

What the!

The plaintiff withdrew the case!

When he walked out of the yamen in confusion, he happened to see Xu Niangzi, who had just come out of prison, and without waiting for Shi Yiwen to speak, Zhang Jingxiu on the side ran over and asked loudly.

"Why are you doing this? Why didn't you sue the man? ”

In the face of Zhang Jingxiu's questioning, Xu Niangzi just burst into tears and couldn't say a word.

"Brother Xian, presumably Mrs. Xu must also have her troubles."

Although I don't know why she withdrew the lawsuit, but the matter has come to this, Shi Yiwen did not force it, so he persuaded Zhang Jingxiu.

"Father, Son, ......"

Xu Niangzi, who bowed her head and wiped her tears, knelt on the ground with a long cry in front of Shi Yiwen.

"The son is very kind, the slave family will remember it for the rest of his life, I only wish the son his daily gold list title, more blessings and longevity......"
