Chapter 252: Checking the Night
When Yiyi heard Ren Chao's previous words, her eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement, but the words behind made Yiyi can't help but shiver. Yiyi frowned and thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but sigh slightly, "My father was originally working in the governor's yamen. ”
"Yes!" Ren Chao just nodded slightly, took the flask and poured another glass of wine himself.
"But some time ago, I was found to have embezzled public funds, and not only was I imprisoned, but my family property was also confiscated." Yiyi continued.
"You're homeless, you're lonely, and you're forced to come here, aren't you?" Ren Chao then asked.
Yiyi shook her head slightly, "If it was just like this, I wouldn't have fallen into a place like this. Because the father has squandered the embezzled money, even after confiscating all the family property, he cannot make up for the loss of the treasury. A few days ago, my father's case was sentenced and he was sentenced to behead. We asked a friend of my father's to inquire that if we could make up the amount owed, my father would be given a light sentence. Speaking of this, Yiyi couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed softly.
Ren Chao probably understood, frowned and asked, "Do you hate Ren Chao?" If it weren't for this Futai lord, maybe your father wouldn't have been found out at all, let alone been imprisoned and sentenced to death, and you were still at home as your rich lady! You won't come to this kind of place anymore, so you must have a grudge against Ren Chao, right? ”
Yiyi couldn't help frowning, as if she was thinking about something, and after a while, she shook her head lightly and said, "My father is corrupt and bends the law, and he is to blame, even if he doesn't have Lord Ren, he will be found out sooner or later." ”
"That's a good thing you say, but why should you bother with him? Let him fend for himself? What's more, even if you make up this amount, it is estimated that he will have to spend more than a dozen years in prison. Twenty years. You are still young and have your own life, why should you ruin your life for the sake of such a father? Ren Chao continued.
"Although my father is guilty, he is my father after all, how can we and other children watch him end up in a different place and a violent corpse on the street!" Yiyi couldn't help but cry again when she said this.
"Your filial piety is also rare, how much do you owe?" Ren Chao asked softly.
"Almost 10,000 taels of silver." Yiyi gritted her teeth and said.
"So much." Ren Chao was slightly surprised, hum! Now there is still a difference of 10,000 taels, and it seems that this guy has embezzled at least tens of thousands of taels. Even more, it is not unjust to sentence him to behead the marquis. "With so much money, you are in this kind of place, I'm afraid you won't be able to save so much money in your life! Even if you can save enough, what is the use of your father's bones rotting by then? ”
I don't know this truth, and when I heard Ren Chao say this, I couldn't help but feel even more sad, and tears fell straight down. "So far, the little girl has no other way, even if there is a glimmer of hope, she always has to try to be willing."
Ren Chao nodded slightly. He took a drink from the wine glass, smiled and said to Yiyi, "I wrote down your business." I'll check back if it's true. I can help you, young master, but for now? All you have to do is drink with the young master. Although 10,000 taels is a lot, I still took it out young master. ”
"Really!" A flash of excitement flashed in Yiyi's eyes, and she hurriedly said, "My father's name is Liu Wenhan, and it turned out to be the governor of the Yamen......
"Okay, I'll make a note of it, what are you talking about these unpleasant things? Since I said that I wanted to investigate, young master, I will naturally go back to investigate. Ren Chao waved his hand impatiently and said.
Yiyi could only obediently close her mouth and pick up the wine jug to pour wine for Ren Chao.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside. Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, and it didn't take long for Niu Kaixuan to walk in with four personal guards.
Ren Chao glanced at the five disheveled guys, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What happened?" ”
"Back to the eldest young master, the police station has come to check the night." Niu Kaixuan replied honestly.
Ren Chao's brows furrowed even deeper, this point is too back! Niu Kaixuan hurriedly said, "Let's deal with it." ”
"Go ahead!" Ren Chao said impatiently. But Niu Kaixuan hadn't gone out yet, and three uniformed patrolmen had already walked in.
"The police station checked the night, and the man immediately showed a certificate to find flowers and ask willows, and the woman showed a special industry certificate." A long, five, three, thick, dark-skinned patrolman shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.
No way! Why is Lao Tzu so back! This kind of thing happened to me the first time I came. Fortunately, Lao Tzu came in civilian clothes, and Lao Tzu's photo has never been released to the public, there should not be many people who know Lao Tzu, the most unlucky, and the most fortunate These three patrols turned out to be ordinary people, and there is no guy from a system background, so Ren Chao doesn't have to worry about the problem of identity exposure.
Ren Chao glanced at Niu Kaixuan, Niu Kaixuan understood, and immediately took out a few small books, this is the so-called looking for flowers and asking Liu Certificate, also known as prostitution certificate, everyone must hold a certificate to go to the Qinglou to prostitution. Of course, Ren Chao forced prostitution clients to apply for this certificate at that time, also in order to collect a part of the tax, after all, most of these prostitutes are basically rich people, since they have money to prostitute themselves, it is better to take out more to contribute to the country.
The patrol led by the patrol took the small books, flipped through them, and then turned pale and said very strictly, "Your documents have expired, and they are invalid, and they will be treated as unlicensed prostitutes, and each person will be fined fifty taels of silver." ”
"What? Stare your eyes wide and take a good look, this is a September certificate, how can it expire? Niu Kaixuan immediately became angry when he heard this, and shouted loudly at the top of his throat.
"Yo! It's pretty horizontal! The patrol glared at Niu Kaixuan, and said with a disdainful expression, "You have a certificate for September, this is true, then I ask you what day it is today?" ”
"September 29!" Niu Kaixuan replied.
"September 29? Hum! It's over now, and it's the first day of October! The patrol said coldly.
"The first day of October? Even if the time has passed, it will only be September 30, right? Niu Triumph said loudly.
"Don't cry when you don't see the coffin! There is a small ban in September, and there is no thirty, so today is the first day of October. The patrol said with a sneer.
Niu Kaixuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was stunned at that time, thinking that this was the end. glanced back at Ren Chao, and saw that Ren Chao was glaring at him with a murderous gaze. Ren Chao beckoned Niu Kaixuan over and reprimanded him in a low voice, "What the hell did you do?" ”
"The little one was negligent for a while, and I didn't know that this month was a small ban." Niu Kaixuan hurriedly said.
"So what now?" Ren Chao couldn't help but ask. (To be continued......)
