The officials took the confession and ran into the courtyard in a panic, and after a while, there was a noise, and the county commander led a group of people to rush out of the courtyard gate and run towards the place where the documents were stored.

Luo Xuyan saw the right time, followed the past, and before she got closer, she heard the county order shouting loudly.

“…… Okay, stealing things to the county office! And you, as a fast catcher, actually guarded and stole yourself, and became a traitor, it is really an unforgivable crime! Come on, arrest these two people for me, put them in prison, and the county will interrogate them personally! ”

"Yes!"

Luo Xuyan watched her uncle and the king being escorted out, the two struggled and writhed, and kept shouting, "The county order spares your life", but the county order was unmoved, and walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, glaring at them angrily, quite like the angry King Kong in the temple.

The others shrank their necks, not even daring to gasp, for fear of upsetting the county magistrate again.

Listening to her uncle's plea for mercy gradually faded away, Luo Xuyan lowered her eyes and listened to the county order to personally order someone to inspect and guard this place.

"Recently, there has been a drought in the south, and there is no harvest, and those who guard the city gate eat dry food, let the victims into the city, and I am so busy that I am so busy that I am still causing such trouble! This county will severely punish and refuse to lend, in order to set an example, and tell everyone that the rules of our county yamen are strict! ”

After speaking, the county commander angrily led a group of people to the prison.

It was quiet again, and she patted the dust on the hem of her skirt and sneaked out of the yamen.

This matter will soon spread to the family, and the grandmother will definitely cry and ask her mother to rescue her uncle, but she does not look for Zhang to catch the head, but attracts the county order to personally arrest people, in order not to let the uncle escape from the ascension to heaven, and they must really get a lesson, so that they will be honest.

Although the reputation of the Xu family will be affected to some extent, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, and it is better to cure this tumor as soon as possible.

Besides, isn't there a chance for the Xu family to gain a good reputation?

Luo Xuyan walked on the street, all the way to the south, and sure enough, she saw dozens of men, women and children in ragged clothes and gray faces gathered at the base of the city wall, sitting listlessly on the ground, pitifully begging passers-by for a bite to eat.

Other victims were barricaded by the gates of the city, and they were not allowed to break in, while others who entered the city were strictly examined.

Out of consideration for her safety, Luo Xuyan looked at it from a distance, and the number of people was no less than those who had already entered the city.

The yamen will soon build a porridge shed to appease these victims, but after all, they still have to consider the livelihood and safety of the local people, so the food distributed will not be too much, and sooner or later they will have to drive everyone back.

She touched her chin and thought about how to talk to her father about her plan, when someone called her behind her.

"......" She looked back, it turned out to be Zhao Ying, and smiled politely: "Zhao Gongzi is good." ”

Zhao Ying also arched her hand and asked, "Why did Miss Luo come here, there are disaster victims coming and going here, please pay attention to Miss Luo." ”

Luo Xuyan prevaricated: "I have something to do here. Did Zhao Gongzi come to see the situation of the victims on behalf of the yamen? ”

"Exactly." Zhao Ying nodded, "Although they are not the people of Xiazhou, they are also the people of the Great Zhou, and there is an order to assassinate them, so that they can return to their hometown as soon as possible." A few mosquitoes and flies were "buzzing" and flying wildly, he waved his hand to drive them away, and continued: "I have to go back to the yamen on an errand, can I send the young lady out of here?" ”

"Don't dare to trouble Zhao Gongzi, my business is not finished yet." Luo Xuyan said, "Although there are disaster victims here, they are all yellow and thin, and they are weak, what can they do to harass others?" Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to worry. ”

Zhao Ying was in a hurry to return to the yamen to resume his life, so he told him a few words and left.

Luo Xuyan looked at the victims again, and there were mosquitoes and flies flying in front of her, a little closer to the victims, and she could smell a faint stench.

This stinks...... She frowned and hurried back to the coffin.

Xu Dali stole things in the yamen and was caught by the county order, and the news has been transmitted back, Xu Yaoyao rubbed her forehead with a headache, and Luo Banghao brought a cup of tea and put it in front of her.

"All of them are uneasy," Xu Yaoyao said weakly: "Or I was too indulgent with them in the past!" If Zhang Zhutou catches him, maybe he will make a few silver coins like last time, and it will be a big thing and a small matter, but now...... The county order will never spare him, even if our Xu family has thousands of family wealth, it will be difficult for him to come out safe and sound. ”

Luo Banghao said: "It's better to let him suffer a real lesson, remember this hardship, and only then can he live in peace." ”

"I think so too, it's just that it's hard to say from my mother's side, my sister-in-law is pregnant again," Xu Yaoyao sighed: "It's a pity that the reputation of the Xu family will be ruined by him." ”

"Dad, mother!" Luo Xuyan shouted and stepped forward, "The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, it is better to do something useful, at least to protect your own interests." ”

Xu Yaoyao looked at her daughter in surprise, "Ayan, what do you mean by that?" She felt that something was wrong, Ah Yan had just come back, why did she seem to know everything about Xu Dali?

Luo Xuyan said: "A group of disaster victims have gathered in the south of the city, presumably the yamen will soon build a porridge shed, but there will always be some omissions. ”

Luo Banghao said: "I understand, Ah Yan wants to take advantage of the urgent need to appease the victims, and the Xu family will contribute to win a good reputation?" ”

"Exactly." Luo Xuyan said: "The top priority is to prepare realgar, cinnabar, atractylodes and other materials to avoid the spread of epidemics. I've seen these victims, and the situation is not very good, so I have to take precautions. ”

These things are prepared in the shop, and on weekdays, when anyone has a funeral or goes to Yizhuang, they need these medicines to make a prescription to avoid the epidemic, and smoke it in all directions.

Xu Yaoyao stared at her daughter, suppressed the questions in her heart, and nodded: "Just do what Ayan said." ”

No one paid attention to Xu Dali's detention in the prison, prepared the medicine to avoid the epidemic, and asked the guys in the shop to send him to the south city gate. Luo Xuyan deliberately planted a small flag with the word "Xu" on the cart stacked with medicines, and instructed the guys a few more words, and then watched them leave the shop.

Luo Banghao cleaned up and said, "I'll go over and take a look, you guys are at home." ”

Xu Yaoyao straightened the sachet on his body for him and advised: "Be careful in everything." ”

Luo Banghao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yaoyao." ”

After he left, Xu Yaoyao said: "Your uncle's business, I still need to go to the yamen to go through the motions, and the shop will be handed over to you to watch, Ayan." ”

Luo Xuyan responded: "Mother, don't worry, I will stay in the shop and finish everything." ”

She knew that her mother had guessed that her uncle's affairs had nothing to do with her, but no one would pierce this layer of window paper. After all, now that he has found a way to solve the reputation of the Xu family, as for his uncle, let him reap the consequences.

Xu Yaoyao glanced at her daughter deeply and went to the county yamen.
