Chapter 122: Inexplicable Charges
Two days after that day, Han Qiu came to the store to look for Rong Yun. Wan Ge happened to be there at the time, so he told him that Rong Yun had left and was not here. If he has anything to say, he can tell her what he asks, and tell her instead.
"Is that what she meant?" Han Qiu immediately asked.
"It's okay to say yes."
When Han Qiu heard this, the last bit of hope in his eyes dissipated: "Doesn't she have anything to say to me?" ”
Evening Song shook his head,
When Rong Yun left, she really didn't say anything except asking them not to tell Han Qiu about those things.
"Okay, I see." Han Qiu took a deep breath and exhaled, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth: "I've caused you trouble these days, and I won't come to her again in the future." ”
"You won't be fellow travelers."
One is honest and upright, and the other is calculating and ruthless, which seems to have become two extremes.
Han Qiu laughed when he heard this, and said that the same road is different, and Ruth has to look at each other, as long as he wants to go on different roads, he can also go the same way.
"Forget it, what's the use of talking about it now. Sister-in-law, I'm gone, and there are still a few small ones waiting for me to go back. After saying that, Han Qiu waved his hand and left.
Wan Ge sighed, and was about to go back when suddenly two officials came to the door, and as soon as they came in, they asked who Song Ji was.
"I don't know what the two officials are looking for my husband?"
The two officials glanced at Wan Ge up and down, and then unceremoniously informed her that Song Ji had broken the law and escaped from servitude. They were ordered to arrest and escort them to Kunshan to dig a tunnel.
Wan Ge frowned: "Are the two officials mistaken, we paid twelve taels of silver to be exempted from the conscription quota, and it is impossible for there to be any evasion." ”
"We don't know about that, we're just doing what we're told." The two of them didn't listen to her explanation at all, and directly asked where Song Jiuren was now, and hurriedly followed them. Otherwise, don't blame them for being polite.
The afterglow of the evening song swept to the crowd that was gradually gathering outside, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said to the two officials with a light smile: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this, it's better to do this, the two officials will come in first for the time being, sit down and drink tea, and I will ask the guys in the store to hurry up and call people back." Saying that, the evening song hurriedly glanced at Lu Sheng next to him.
Lu Sheng suddenly understood, stepped forward in three or two steps and smiled and asked one of them to sit up for a while and rest.
The two of them looked impatient, and when they were about to refuse, they suddenly felt something more in their hands. Suddenly, the person put away the things with his backhand, coughed lightly and said with a soothing face: "You people have gone out, since this is the case, then the two of us will go up and wait." You hurry up and ask the guy to call the people back, don't delay the time, otherwise the consequences are not something you and I can bear. ”
"Yes, yes, let's go and call someone, let's go. The two officials also asked the upstairs to wait for a while. Lu Sheng smiled and brought the two upstairs, while Qian Cui hurriedly prepared hot tea and some snacks and served them to pass the time.
After being pacified, the two hurried down.
"Mrs. Shopkeeper, how is this good?"
Qian Cui is an honest person, for them, when the official comes to the door, it will be a big problem, and they will be panicked.
"Mrs. Shopkeeper, is there something strange about this?" Lu Sheng smelled something wrong from what the two of them had just said.
"When we heard the news, we hurried back to the village and handed over the twelve taels of silver to the official who collected the money on the spot." And just what the two of them said just now, there is obviously a problem.
"What evidence does the shopkeeper have to keep?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.
He didn't question anything, he just wanted to understand. If they had evidence that they had taught the money, then perhaps the matter would not have been so serious, at least there would have been no deliberate evasion. But if not, it's a bit harder. After all, it was not other superior people who came, but people from the government, and what they said was what they said, and those people outside would not think about it.
I will only think that the people from the government have come to the door, and the family has a problem, and the reputation of the store will be damaged, and the business that has been so hard to get up will plummet. Of course, these are all trivial things, but the important thing is Song Jiu.
If you take people away, that's a terrible thing.
Wan Ge naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and she asked Xiaocui to go out to find Song Jiu. After finding it, don't be in a hurry to come back, tell someone about it first, and ask him how he organized.
"Yes, ma'am."
Qian Cui immediately ran out to find someone.
After the people left, Lu Sheng continued to greet the guests who entered the store downstairs. They can't mess around now, and the more critical the moment, the more calm they must be. Wan Ge stabilized the two officials above, and at the same time wanted to inquire about what was going on.
It's just that those two people are just small shrimps, and they also listen to other people's orders, and they don't know much. In this regard, the evening song was a little disappointed.
"Why haven't they come back yet?"
The two of them had drunk several cups of tea, and they hadn't come back yet, so they were a little impatient.
"Bad master, it happened suddenly, and I went out on a fair day to run around for business, and I don't know where to go, so it will inevitably take some time for a guy to find it." Saying that, Wange took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the two: "It's a delay for the two of you, please accept it with caution." ”
Maybe it was because of the two ingots of silver, and the two of them were not so impatient at once, but the tone was still very bad and urged the evening song to be more happy, otherwise it would be dark later. But they were told to set off tomorrow with people, and if they didn't arrive at that time, they would be punished, and no amount of money would be good.
"Yes, yes, I'll let them run fast......."
Before the evening song could finish speaking, the door of the house was pushed open, and Song Jiu, who was barearmed, walked in. At that moment, Wan Ge's heart hung up, and she looked at him hard.
However, the person concerned didn't seem to see it, and walked straight in.
"Two poor masters, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." As soon as Song Jiu came in, he said politely to the two of them: "In this way, it's not too early now, let's go to the restaurant next to us for a meal, if there is anything to eat and chat, it won't matter, you see what you think." ”
One of them was moved, and the other hurriedly stabbed him with his elbow. The man immediately coughed and asked Song Jiu not to play those tricks, it was useless, let people leave quickly.
"Poor master, see if you can be accommodating." Song Yu asked with a smile on his face if he could give him a night and let him say goodbye to his wife: "You see my wife doing this, I don't know when I will come back." There are some words, some things I want to explain to her, and in addition, I can't bring some salutes or anything to Kunshan, so I have time to clean up. ”
"You want to be beautiful, do you know that you are a fugitive now, and you want to drag on your escape for one night, but there is no door. Hurry up, come with us. The official who stabbed the elbow next to him just now pushed Song Jiu a little fiercely, telling him not to talk so much nonsense.
"Then let me say two parting words to my wife, just two."
Originally, the official didn't agree, and I don't know if the silver stuffed before played a role, but I saw another person stop the person first: "Okay, you guys hurry up, it's been a lot of delay." If you go back later, we won't be able to hold you back. Blame it for sitting together, do you understand? ”
"Thank you, let's just say a few words, and we'll be fine soon." Song Ji said gratefully.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs and wait." The official took the other person out, and only Song Jiu and Wan Ge were left in the room.
As soon as the two of them left, Wan Ge anxiously pulled Song Jiu and said, "Didn't I ask Xiao Cui'er to tell you something?" How did you get it back. ”
"What will you do if I don't come back?" Song Yu changed his face that was smiling and flattering just now: "Now that this matter is clear, someone wants to mess with us, we don't offend anyone on weekdays, and if we have something to do with the government, and we have a grudge, it's just that person." ”
"You mean........ Jiang Qingyue? "Evening songs are easy to understand.
"Well, I can't think of anyone else but her." Song Jiu's face was very bad, and he didn't know if he couldn't get along with the surname Jiang in this life.
"I'm going to find someone to reason with me."
"Don't be impulsive." Song Jiu grabbed the person.
"Why am I not impulsive, you are going to be taken away, how can I calm down." The evening song was so angry that she was about to lose her mind.
I tried my best to toss so much before and after, not to keep Song Jiu, and everyone lived a peaceful and stable life together. But this person is good, he has come to them again and again to find trouble, and there is no end to it.
"It's useless for you to go now, but just as she wanted." Song Jiu tried to calm her down: "Listen to me first, we don't have much time now." Now that it's a foregone conclusion, we can only think of another way. I'll follow them for the time being, and then you go to find Su Rou. Let her think of ways to get evidence of the collusion between the Zheng family and the government, and you will go to Lingxian with the token that Qian Lei left for you earlier. I've inquired, the governor happened to be in Lingxian County these days, and you took something to find him, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
Song Jiu seized all the time to arrange the next things: "She will definitely not do it now, you can let Du Chun come over to accompany you when I am not there, or leave Qian Cui behind, in short, you can't be alone, understand?" ”
Jiang Qingyue has changed now, and she is far from the little girl liar she was at the beginning. He was very worried that the man would have a trick and take advantage of his absence to do something to the evening song.
"I know." Wan Ge held back her tears and said: "There are people around me, but it's you." The one who was taken to that hellish place doesn't know ........"
"I'm rough and hard, don't worry about me, it'll be fine."
As he was talking, the official downstairs began to urge Song Ji to leave quickly.
Song Jiu didn't have time to say more, so she had to rub her head and let her take care of herself.
