By this time, Qiao Wenlian, Wu Xin and Lang Shi had already understood that they were being calculated.

This is the legendary fairy jump.

The poor three people were bent on reading only the books of the sages, and the first time they left home and went far away, such a thing happened.

Wu Xin squatted on the ground and cried with his head in his arms, Qiao Wenlian thought of his wife and two daughters, at this time, even if he asked his wife to collect money and send it to the capital, it would be too late.

If he is dismissed and his reputation is discredited, his wife will not be able to raise his head in his hometown, and the eldest daughter who has been married will be disliked by his in-laws, as well as his favorite youngest daughter...... The youngest daughter's family affairs have been decided a long time ago, and if the in-laws withdraw because of this, the little daughter is afraid that she will not be able to find her in-laws in the future.

Lang Shi gritted his teeth and punched the tree, his delicate skin cut by the bark, and the blood flowed.

"Go and borrow a loan shark, since it is the iron pot alley I took you to, then let me repay this loan shark alone, Lao Qiao, you still have a wife and children and a family, Wu Xin, you originally sent someone under the fence, and I have nothing to worry about, I am not hungry when I am fed alone, and the family is not hungry, and I still have a rich brother, so I will be cheeky and ask my brother to repay the debt for me."

After Lang Shi finished speaking, he stopped a small green cloth sedan chair with his feet and said to the sedan chair man: "Get out of the city!" ”

Qiao Wenlian and Wu Xin saw each other, and hurriedly stopped, Qiao Wenlian said: "There are three of us on the paperwork, this is not your business alone, besides, each person in the gambling house can only borrow 1,000 taels each time, and if you go alone, people will not lend you 3,000 taels." ”

"But there's no other way, there's only one way for us to go!" Lang Shi was so anxious that he stomped on the ground, although he had an honest and loyal face, he was a fiery person.

"We're going with you!" The youngest, Wu Xin, clenched his fists.

"What do you use to repay the loan shark, you yourself have to rely on people to fund to get to where you are today." Lang Shi said.

"If I can be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official, I will have a fortune, and I can use it to pay off my debts at that time, and I can still sell words and paintings to make a western ......seat, you don't know, someone in my hometown also asks me to be a western seat for twenty taels a year," Wu Xin's words stopped before he finished speaking, twenty taels a year can make a small family comfortable for a year, but for usury, it is not even a fraction of the interest.

Lang Shi patted Wu Xin on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and dodged into the sedan chair, which came all the way to the outside of the city, and stopped in front of the gambling house.

It turned out that the two of them followed all the way and came here.

The three of them lent 3,000 taels of silver very smoothly, and they returned to the city overnight and sent the silver to the iron pot alley.

It was the mother-in-law who came to open the door for them, and they thought that the mother-in-law was the messenger of the woman's side at that time, but later they learned that the mother-in-law was actually the woman's mother-in-law.

That mother-in-law is actually not old, but when she first saw her, she deliberately dressed up very old-fashioned, and now look at it, this mother-in-law is only in her thirties,, dressed up in a fancy way, and at first glance she is a woman from a good family.

The three of them could only scold themselves in their hearts for being too stupid, they didn't even see it that day, and thought it was just an ordinary mother-in-law.

The woman let them in, and with her hand shut, shut it inside, and led them to the hall.

Before stepping into the threshold, the mother-in-law suddenly turned around, hugged Qiao Wenlian's neck, and said in a coquettish voice: "Master Juren, the slave family wants you to die, you have no conscience, you will only be happy with my daughter-in-law, and you don't remember the slave family." ”

Qiao Wenlian was so stunned that he was at a loss, and he forgot to push the woman away.

At this moment, five or six big men came out of the hall when they heard the sound, led by the father-in-law and husband of the family, and the others were the splashes that I saw at the door of the Gaosheng Inn today.

"Okay, it's not enough for you to rape my daughter-in-law, and you won't even let go of this old thing, you gangsters!"

These big men rushed over, tied up Qiao Wenlian and the three of them in a few clicks, stripped off their clothes and pants, and tied them naked under the big tree in the yard.

Knowing that there were neighbors next door, but Qiao Wenlian and the three of them were so scared that they didn't even dare to shout for help, it was too embarrassing, too humiliating, once they shouted for help, it would attract onlookers at best, and at worst it would alarm the yamen, and at that time, their faces would be gone.

The three thousand taels of silver were also searched and taken away by those people, but they did not return the paperwork to them.

Those people set up tables in the courtyard, drank wine and ate meat, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took wine jugs to fill them with wine, and from time to time they made a coquettish moan or two.

But Qiao Wenlian and the three of them could only watch all this, hoping that these people would be angry and happy, so they could let them go.

It wasn't until two hours later that the father-in-law of the family came over and said to them while picking his teeth, "I heard that you live in the Gaosheng Inn?" That place costs money, and it's not comfortable to live, where is it better than ours here, besides, since you slept with my daughter-in-law and seduced my mother-in-law, then it will be a family from now on, why don't you move over, and we can take care of it. ”

Qiao Wenlian didn't expect that these people would let them move over.

He asked in a trembling voice, "What are your intentions, and why did you want us to move here?" ”

"Intentions? We are all rough people, there are no twists and turns of your scholars, to tell the truth, there is a big deal now, but we don't know how to do it, people don't recognize us, we pick it and look at it, we think you three are very good, now we are a family again, so the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, this big business is also counted as you, this is a good thing for pie in the sky, as long as this business is done, let alone three thousand taels, it is thirty thousand taels, and it can also be had. ”

The father-in-law of that family was foaming at the mouth, but Qiao Wenlian, Wu Xin and Lang Shi looked at each other.

"You're looking for the wrong person, the three of us are all readers, we can only read, and we won't do anything else, even the things that are fed at home are also taken care of by the female transcription, doing business or something, we don't understand, and we won't do it, you better find someone else." Qiao Wenlian was the oldest, and he felt that he was the head of the three, so when he encountered such a thing, he refused instead of the other two.

Seeing that he refused so simply, the father-in-law was not annoyed, but just said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the three of them will continue to enjoy the cool here." ”

At this time, it was just the first month, the weather was cold, and the three of them were already bruised from the cold, and they couldn't hold on for a moment.

Hearing Qiao Wenlian's refusal, Lang Shi couldn't help but shout loudly: "I promise, I promise, please let me put on my clothes, I'm going to freeze to death!" ”
