Chapter 208: Substitute Death
The head of the Lei family waited for a night and didn't see anyone come back, and his heart was tormented like frying. I'm afraid it's going to be bad! This world is just to catch a few homeless people, and it stands to reason that they will not be discovered, so why are so many people sent out and none of them come back?
"Sir! Master! Someone from the county government is here! Said he was going to take the master! The butler took a shortcut and ran into the courtyard, and the butler's howl could be heard from afar.
Master Lei's face was dark, his heart sank, and he pressed his panic down. Just don't do it and push this matter out, Zuo is just that he is not strict in governing his family, and he is reprimanded and compensated for some silver, what is there to panic about, and it is not the first time he has encountered something.
The housekeeper finally ran into the yard in three steps and two steps, and as soon as he entered the yard, he bumped into Master Lei who was going out. The housekeeper hurriedly stopped and went to help Master Lei: "The little one has collided with the master, it's really outside... There are a lot of servants out there! ”
Master Lei nodded, took the housekeeper's hand and didn't let go: "Lao Bai, I heard that your second grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and your mother-in-law is not sick enough for the silver in the family?" ”
The housekeeper was stunned, this kind of thing was too familiar, and he immediately understood what Master Lei meant.
"Old, master..."Even if he has no money to marry his granddaughter-in-law, he doesn't want to put his life into it!" To put it bluntly, he is short of money, but he is not yet ready to die! But Master Lei, this means that he will be able to carry this matter! The panic just now was even worse, the housekeeper's legs and feet were weak, and he didn't care about being pulled by Master Lei, so he sat on the ground with his buttocks. His blue heaven master! What can I do?
"Butler, don't worry, in the future, your Bai family's lack of silver and rice will be the matter of the Lei family, so you don't have to worry about it." Master Lei made up his mind, and his face was not red and his heart was not panicked. The official is coming, he has to quickly explain these few sentences, and if he explains clearly, it will naturally be his business.
"Is the Lei family master here? Our county lord asked Master Lei to talk about it! The officials burst in through the courtyard gate, held out their tokens, and said loudly.
Master Lei hurriedly bowed respectfully to the officials, and was very polite: "How dare you bother the officials to come in person, as long as you pass a word, the little one will go immediately." The officials have worked hard, and the villain is really uneasy. This is to give the officials tea money, and it should be the villain's intention. Master Lei gestured to the personal servant behind him, and the servant hurriedly took out the money bag and gave a little to the officials.
The officials touched the silver, stuffed the silver naked into their waists, and their faces softened slightly: "It's really that the county lord misses it too much, so the head of the Lei family will go with us." "Anyway, the head of the Lei family can't get off and go to the county government today, and he can collect a little benefit if he can, and it won't get in the way.
"Yes, yes, the villain changes into clean clothes, and then follows the officials." The head of the Lei family nodded again and again, bowed again, and didn't care about the housekeeper who had just gotten up on the ground, and quickly turned around and went back to the house to change his clothes.
This trip will inevitably have to bring more silver tickets, the more the better.
Take more than half of the silver ticket in the box and put it in the money bag, and put the money bag close to your body to feel at ease.
The officials went fast and withdrew quickly, and they took the head of the Lei family out of the Lei family's house and rushed all the way to the county government.
This kind of excitement is too rare, and the people on the street follow behind, wanting to follow to see the excitement, and follow until the county office.
It's okay for the head of the Lei family to commit a crime, but I don't know if the county master will really deal with the Lei family.
The Lei family has been very rich in the past two years, and boxes of silver are sent in, so I don't believe that I can't save anyone?
Not only do people think so, but the head of the Lei family also thinks so. It's not a big deal to catch a few homeless, and it's only a fine of some silver, so how much more can you be fined?
Bai Shiye handed over the person to the county government and didn't wait any longer. Along the way, the carriages and horses walked slowly, and the dry food prepared last time was gone, so when I entered the city, I simply bought some dry food charcoal for the next two or three days.
Bai Qiao wrapped his cloak and walked under the carriage accompanied by Xia Shuang. The weather is still relatively warm for strolling around, and it is not very comfortable to be in the carriage.
Bai Jin refused to get out of the car, it was so cold outside, so she didn't want to get out of the car to blow the cool breeze! It's already tiring enough to rest badly every day, so don't give up the soup woman to get off the car and go to the cold!
When Bai Qiao saw the servants passing through the street, walking quickly with more than twenty people with yellow faces and thin muscles wearing the clothes of the Lei family's slaves, his heart was a little happier. Not to mention anything else in this county order, this matter is really getting a good grasp of the case, and I believe that in half a day, the results will come out.
Sure enough, within half an hour, the county government arrested the Lei family's housekeeper again, and the Lei family's housekeeper was dead, and when he came, he insisted on this matter for the money, but the county government went down a few boards, and the housekeeper immediately couldn't stand it.
For this trick, the county order immediately asked the master to write a court certificate to take it to the housekeeper. The housekeeper didn't want to think about it, so he drew it immediately. This confession went into the hands of the head of the Lei family. The head of the Lei family suddenly changed his complexion, the Lei family had found many substitutes for the dead, but none of them had been retracted, and the housekeeper had made a lot of money over the years, and he was a person in his own house, so he really didn't expect him to retract his confession.
It's too late to say anything, and a lot of silver tickets want to be stuffed into the county order, but in this troubled time, the county order just wants to be stable, and it doesn't accept it at all. The people first took the deed of sale that the Lei family was forced to sign, burned it in public and released the exiles, and then went back with the county officials to help the Lei family pack up their belongings and drive the Lei family out of Shiliang Mountain. The Lei family's foundation in the city has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and forcing them to die is only afraid of regeneration, so for the sake of future stability, the county order directly drove them and their clansmen out of the city, so that they will not cause trouble in the city in the future. The world is about to be chaotic, and the stability of the county is the only thing you want.
People come and go on the streets, and they keep telling the story of the day. The Lei family has made an accident! Not only that, but he was also retracted for the dead ghost, and the county lord wanted to expel the Lei family from the city! There are dozens of people in such a big family, and this expulsion will make the Lei family's courtyard vacant, and they also want to occupy the house! Maybe it's worth it!
Bai Qiao watched as the guards brought back the things they had bought and got into the carriage. The Lei family's matter, killing and punishment are not very proper, this crime is not enough to punish the three clans, and the crime is not as good as the servants and children. Under the severe punishment, it is difficult to guarantee that the Lei family will not do anything again. This county order directly draws salaries from the bottom of the kettle to kick people out, which is a good way.
"It's noisy outside, we're done shopping, shouldn't we go?" As soon as Bai Jin got into the carriage in Bai Qiao, he asked Dieyan to stuff a warm soup woman over.
Bai Qiao took it and covered it, suddenly felt warm from the tip of his hand to his heart, exhaled a cool breath, and said with a smile: "It's time to go, I will continue to rush in the afternoon." ”
