When Tang Zhian heard him say this, his heart was put down, this thing was really scary, if the fourth prince knew about the existence of his daughter-in-law, it would be dangerous, but fortunately, now this is only known by the county order.

Tang Zhian looked at the man and said, "We really don't have such money now, can you give us a few days, I'll see if I can make up for it, if it's really not enough, can I make up for it with other valuable things?" “

"Yes, as long as you give 50,000 taels of silver in the end, gold and silver jewelry and other antiques, calligraphy and paintings can replace money, give you three days, you prepare yourself, we will come back to get the money after three days, if the money is not enough, we will not be so polite, everyone in your family has been arrested, it is rare to enter the barracks, women are slaves, and your children have to be sold."

When the man had finished speaking, he took their men with him, and before he left, he made it clear, and the people of the village, who had been watching the excitement outside, were silent when they heard this.

They originally wanted to borrow money, but now that they heard that Tang Zhi'an's family wanted so much silver, they couldn't open their mouths, and they didn't have enough money, so where could they lend them money?

The village chief knew that those people had come to Tang Zhi'an's house to ask for money, so he hurried over, "Zhi'an, I heard that your family wants to pay 50,000 taels of silver, right?" “

"Well, this is the order of the four princes, saying that now the country is in trouble, and everyone who has money will donate money." Tang Zhian said lightly.

The village chief sighed and said, "What can I do about this, this world has really changed completely, do you have so much money?" If not, our family can give some. ”

Tang Zhian shook his head and said, "Village chief, forget it, keep your family's money for your own use!" Who knows what will happen in the future? We are still in our own homes without escaping, and it is most appropriate to keep this silver in our hands, and besides, your family has to give one hundred taels of silver for this military service. ”

This military service is fifteen to fifty years old, and the village chief is already over his age, so naturally he doesn't need to give silver, but Lin Xiaoshan's age is in it, if he doesn't want to go, he has to give a hundred taels of silver, Tang Zhian knows, this money was given to the village chief's family before, in fact, there were more than a hundred taels of silver left.

The village chief spent a lot of money when he was sick before, although Brother Xiaoshan has been working for others without stopping, but he will definitely not be able to make money after this war.

The village chief sighed when he heard his words and said: "I can't help you with this matter, this matter is said by the county order, I can't say anything, Zhi'an, if you have money, give it!" It's supposed to be a purchase of peace, otherwise they will come to arrest people, what will you do as a family? ”

Tang Zhian nodded and said, "I know, village chief, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." “

"Okay, then come to me if you need help, if I can help, I will definitely help." The village chief said slowly.

Tang Zhian nodded, glanced at the village chief gratefully and said, "Thank you village chief, if I really need your help, I will go to you." “

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Okay."

Tang Zhian stood up and sent the village chief out, and then returned to his house.

Mama Wang took care of Lele in her house, this child is now her heart, there were so many officials in the house just now, she knew that there was a problem, so she quickly stood up and hugged the child in.

Lin Qiu'er saw Tang Zhi'an coming in, her face was full of unhappiness, "Ah Zhi, is our silver really going to give to these people?" ”

"Of course, now that they have found our family, if we don't give money, we will definitely have an accident, Qiu'er, nothing is more important than the safety of our family." Tang Zhian said bitterly.

Lin Qiu'er looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay, I know, do you think I really care about this money?" I'm just very unwilling, now the eldest brother is fighting with the crown prince, but we are here to give the silver to the fourth prince, isn't this supporting him to deal with the eldest brother and them? ”

Tang Zhian looked at her and said, "Otherwise, let's find a way to send a letter to the eldest brother and ask him to make the county order here his own, if this is possible, wouldn't the money they fought in the war relieve some of the pressure?" “

"Yes, look at me, just being angry there, but forgetting that this can be changed, if we do this, wouldn't it be very simple to turn the disadvantage into an advantage, great, I'll go and contact the eldest brother, let him find a way to act quickly, if the people of the four princes send these people away in advance, then the eldest brother will definitely be very disadvantageous."

"Yes, so we have to quickly find a way to send the news to the eldest brother, and I don't know if the way to send the letter that the eldest brother said before is still good now?" Tang Zhian asked with some concern.

Lin Qiu'er thought for a while and said, "Ah Zhi, whether this works in the end or not, we have to try, don't we?" In the end, if it really doesn't work, that's what God wills. “

Tang Zhian nodded, and finally looked at Lin Qiu'er and said, "Don't we have so much money in our family?" ”

Lin Qiu'er nodded and said, "Yes, it's only a little more than 40,000, and the rest will be given to the jewelry!" My eldest brother and my mother gave me a lot of jewelry before, and it is almost enough to give ten pieces, but these things are hidden in the mountains, so you can go to the mountains tonight and dig up all these things in our house! ”

Tang Zhian sighed and said: "I thought that these things would come out when everything settled, but who knew that now they are being targeted by others, and there will be no money around us if this silver is given to jewelry, right?" ”

Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "Just leave more than a thousand taels of silver for our family, after all, you have to give a hundred taels of silver for this military service, but in this case, we may not really be able to help you in this military service." ”

"There's no way around it, so we can only look at everyone's lives in the end." Tang Zhi'an's heart was also very uncomfortable.

Everyone knows about this military service, but if you go, you may not be able to come back! If it were possible, everyone would definitely try their best not to go, he could still help these people before, but now their family can't take care of it themselves, and this is really helpless for the people in the village.

At night, Tang Zhi'an quietly went to the mountain alone, and took back the box containing valuables that his family had hidden before, Lin Qiu'er took out the silver ticket, and then selected ten pieces of valuable jewelry, which was barely enough for 50,000 taels of silver.

In the end, there were only 1,200 taels of silver left in his hand and some jewelry that was not worth much, and the princess didn't bring much when she came here, knowing that this was her daughter, she only sent a few pieces, and Lin Qiuxu left before she was sure that it was her biological sister, and the things she gave before were also worried, and she gave ordinary jewelry.

Lin Qiu'er looked at the belongings in her hand, and said a little sadly: "We have worked hard for so long to save such a little money, and now we are going to go directly as soon as others open their mouths, I feel really uncomfortable, I am really angry." ”

Tang Zhian touched her head comfortingly, and said: "It's okay, daughter-in-law, as long as all this is over, we can still make money, now it's so messy, we just need to protect our family, other things are really not important." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, these things are going to be given to others anyway, I'll just take a look, and I don't want to think about the rest, just think about it all and hurry over!" Lin Qiu'er turned around and stopped looking at those things in her house.

Tang Zhian knew that his daughter-in-law was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly packed up his things, the money in their family was all saved by the two of them with hard work, and now they gave it to others, of course they were reluctant in their hearts.

The next day, everyone in the village knew that Tang Zhi'an's family had to give others 50,000 taels of silver, but the people of the Tang family were very proud.

Tang Zhichang said happily: "After seeing this, is Tang Zhian still proud?" This is just the beginning, and he will feel better later. ”

When Song heard this, he also said happily: "Yes, this time we must let the husband and wife know that we are powerful, we begged them so much before, but they actually didn't mean to help us at all, it's so impersonal, we are their eldest brother and sister-in-law, this is all a family, they don't know who helped us, this is hateful." ”

"Whoever says no, these two people just don't clean up, I have to ask them to taste all the insults and grievances we suffered before, who made these two people so hateful."

In their eyes, the original incident was not their own fault, but someone else's fault, if Tang Zhian and they were willing to help earlier, they would not have fallen into that step.

Before, they begged people so much, but they didn't help, and now that they are in trouble, then don't blame their family.

The Feng family in the courtyard is making trouble with the Zhao family, because the Tang family also has to go to military service, and the Tang family now only Tang Zhixian needs to go, Tang Zhichang is a Xiucai, Tang Zhixian is a child, this military service is naturally exempted, and Tang Zheng is too old, so he doesn't need to go.

Feng cried and said to Zhao: "Mother, now is the time for fate, if you really don't give money, this Zhi will have to go to the battlefield first, if he goes, what will we do?" You can't really want our whole family to die, can you? ”

Zhao said to her, "Of course I know, but don't I have no money in my hand?" Isn't that what you say so nicely is that we can pay for it, but the question is where does it come from? “

"Mother, how can you not have money in your hands? I know, the family had no money before, but didn't Zhixian make money during this time? And the eldest brother is now working with the county order, this money must also be there, how can you watch your son go to the battlefield and not take out the money? ”
