After a while, the official came back and said to Xiao Yue: "Our county lord Cheng has gone to inspect other places, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, she understood that Yang Changfu would not want to see her, otherwise the official guarding the door would have told them that Yang Changfu was not there just now, instead of saying that he was not there after entering. When Yang Changfu went out, it was impossible for the official who guarded the door to be invisible.

She could only dispel the idea of going to Yang Changfu, and said to the official: "Thank you, big brother." May I ask Brother Cha, where is the county jail? ”

The official pointed to a path to the east and said, "From there, go all the way in." ”

After Xiao Yue thanked her, she followed Uncle Yang and Father Xiao to the prison, she wanted to see Yang Changfa first, so that she could feel a little more stable.

The official who reported the news went to the county office after seeing Xiao Yue and the three of them leave.

In fact, Yang Changfu was in the county office, and when the official messenger came to report just now, he asked how many people there were in the official messenger, and after hearing it, he found that only the owner of Fuxingju in his own village did not come.

He thought about it and felt that he still hadn't forced the second sister-in-law to a dead end, they must have thought that with his younger brother who was an official, Yang Changfa should be fine, so he didn't go to Fuxingju for help, so he asked the official messenger guarding the door to tell Xiao Yue that he was out of town and didn't know when he would come back, and at the same time gave an order to the prison not to allow anyone to see Yang Changfa.

Xiao Yue and the three of them came to the door of the prison, but the jailer told them that no one could see Yang Changfa without the order of the county magistrate, and they didn't dare to take the money given to the jailer, so the three of them had no choice but to leave.

Xiao Yue found Fuxingju in the county town and took out the jade pendant given by the high shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper took it, he said, "You are Xiao Niangzi, right?" My surname is Chen, I am the shopkeeper of this Fuxingju, your matter has been told to me, I will take you to Zhuangzi, you live there first, and the owner will go to the county seat tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Xiao Yue had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Shopkeeper Chen took Xiao Yue and the three of them to a Zhuangzi in the east of the county, Xiao Yue was not in the mood to observe the scenery of this Zhuangzi, and Uncle Yang and Father Xiao also followed her with worries on their faces.

Shopkeeper Chen found the head of Zhuangzi and told him, "This is a friend of the owner, you arrange for them to stay." ”

That Zhuang Tou was not very old, and he didn't look much older than Xiao Yue.

Shopkeeper Chen said to Xiao Yue: "You guys stay first, I will inform you if there is news, this is Wu Zhuangtou, the son of Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu of your village sauce factory." ”

Xiao Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Wu Zhuangtou." ”

The man smiled and said, "Come with me!" They took Xiao Yue to the guest room.

Xiao Yue had been sitting on the edge of the bed since she entered the house, she was completely messed up now, she didn't know what was going on.

The sauce eats the dead, the official messenger arrested Yang Changfa, she asked Yang Changfu for help, he was not there, and she couldn't see Yang Changfa if she wanted to.

She just wanted to live her own little life in peace, but she didn't expect such a disaster to come, her heart was already in chaos, sitting on the edge of the bed, her brain was confused, and her body trembled slightly.

Xiao Yue sat like this all night, and her mind was messed up.

After dawn, Xiao Yue slowly calmed down, she thought that instead of sitting like this and not knowing what to do, it was better to go out on the street, maybe she could find out the news.

After thinking clearly, she wiped away the tears on her face and went out to tell Daddy Xiao and Uncle Yang that she was going to the street.

They didn't want to go with them, but Xiao Yue didn't agree, they were old, and they couldn't bear to run with them for so long, not to mention that they were just running away.

Xiao Yue walked on the street blankly, she remembered that the news of beggars was the most well-informed on TV in her previous life, they were numerous and wide-ranging, and there were many sources.

So she took out the money, bought a few bags of rice and a lot of steamed buns, hired an ox cart, and pulled it to the place where the beggars gathered outside the city.

The ruined temple outside the city was inhabited by many beggars, sour and filthy, and unbearable.

Xiao Yue didn't care so much, and distributed the steamed buns and rice to these beggars.

Although the beggars were dirty and hungry, they still lined up in an orderly manner, and after getting the steamed buns, they couldn't wait to squat on the ground and eat, and they were even more grateful to Xiao Yue.

An old woman lying on a haystack said, "What a good girl she is! Thank you very much. ”

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, grandma, hurry up and eat!" ”

After a while, a little girl came over, holding a bowl of water in her hand, "Grandma, drink water." ”

The old woman took the water, touched her little head lovingly, and said, "Yaya is so good." ”

Xiao Yue looked at the little girl, who was only more than five years old, although she stayed in the beggars' pile, she was clean, but she was very thin, which should be the reason for not having enough to eat for a long time.

Xiao Yue asked, "This child is so well-behaved, is she?" ”

The old woman said, "This is the daughter of my eldest grandson, and she is also wretched, fatherless and motherless." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, if she usually knew more about the situation, but now she remembered Yang Changfa's affairs in her heart, and she didn't have that leisure.

She pondered for a while and spoke, "Grandma, do you know what happened to the person in the county town who said he died eating sauce?" ”

Before the old woman could speak, the other beggars told them what they knew.

"It is said that he ate the sauce and died, and the family came to complain."

"That person was already sick, and now that he died, maybe the sauce factory would have to lose money."

"That's right, I'm sick to death, I've seen it many times at the door of the pharmacy."

"Yes, yes, a few days ago, I heard that Lang Zhong at the door of the pharmacy saying that he should let the family prepare for the future."

......

Xiao Yue listened to the beggars, and slowly summarized her information in her heart, a long-term patient, the doctor asked him to prepare for the future, and suddenly died, this matter is really strange.

The old woman said, "Actually, the man who died was originally our neighbor. ”

Xiao Yue instantly turned her head to stare at the old woman and asked, "Really?" Grandma, is that person your neighbor? ”

The old woman said, "That's right, it's my neighbor, the child was originally a premature baby, his health has been bad, he has taken more medicine than rice, and fortunately the ancestors of the family have more land to provide medicine. ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, it was already certain that someone was going to deal with her family, but she felt that things should not be so simple, but how could ordinary countrymen know about the relationship between their family and the sauce factory, and how could they dare to go to the yamen to report a false case?

She asked the old woman, "Then how can they be sure that they died of the sauce?" ”

The old woman shook her head, "I don't know. ”

Xiao Yue asked, "Have you ever seen anyone from their family come here?" ”

The old woman thought for a moment, "I once saw a well-dressed man come out of them. ”

Xiao Yue hurriedly asked, "Have you seen it later?" ”

The old woman said, "After I met that time, our whole family came here, and I don't know the rest." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, falling into deep thought, he had been to the living before he died, so could it be instructed by others? Who is the living man who went to the house of the deceased? Is it the one behind them?

A middle-aged couple came from a distance, shouting from a distance: "Mother, Yaya." ”

Xiao Yue turned her head to see that it was an acquaintance, and she spoke, "Uncle, aunt, it's you!" ”

It turned out that it was the person who sold the donkey and saved Aunt Yang before, but in just a few months, they have changed a lot, the man is covered with mud, it seems that he has done hard work, and the woman's hands are red. Both of them have also lost a lot of weight.

The woman smiled and said, "It's you, girl, is your sister-in-law well?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded, "Okay, thank you for saving my sister-in-law in the first place." ”

The woman smiled and waved her hand, "Girl, why are you here?" ”

Before Xiao Yue could reply, the old woman said, "This girl is a kind-hearted person, she bought a lot of steamed buns and rice, and came here to distribute them to these beggars." ”

The woman looked at Xiao Yue gratefully.

Xiao Yue shook her head, "It's nothing, uncle and aunt." ”

The man saw that Xiao Yue had something on his mind, and said, "Girl, don't be so polite, my surname is Zhou, you can call me Uncle Zhou, just call your aunt Aunt Zhou." If you have anything, you can tell us, and we will help if we can. ”

Aunt Zhou also spoke, "That is, if you have something, you will speak." ”

Xiao Yue said: "It's nothing, I heard Grandma Zhou say that the person who died eating the sauce is your neighbor, I'll ask for some news, the sauce is made by my family." ”

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were stunned, they didn't expect Xiao Yue to have such a thing.

Aunt Zhou thought for a while and said, "So what's going on now?" ”

Xiao Yue said with red eyes: "My father-in-law was arrested and put in prison, and I am trying to find a way to save them." ”

Grandma Zhou hugged Xiao Yue all of a sudden, and said repeatedly, "Poor child." ”

Xiao Yue couldn't help but shed tears all of a sudden.

Aunt Zhou comforted and said, "Don't be sad, girl, find a way." Well, let your uncle go to the prison to investigate. ”

Xiao Yue shook her head, "No need, we've already been there, and we can't see anyone." ”

The people around them all fell into deep thought, Xiao Yue wiped her tears and said, "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, Grandma Zhou said that there was once a living person who went to the deceased's house, right?" ”

Aunt Zhou said: "Yes, it is the owner of the grocery store in that town!" You don't know Grandma Zhou if you don't go to town. ”

The owner of the grocery store in the town, Xiao Yue had a flash of inspiration, it can't be Zhao Peng, right? Could it be because of the trouble caused by his refusal to sell the seller last time, then Yang Changfu must have also participated in this matter, no wonder the family dared to report the fake case.

Xiao Yue's face was full of anger, these beasts actually framed their relatives like this for money. With the object of suspicion, Xiao Yue didn't stay any longer, and said to the Zhou family: "Grandma Zhou, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you when I rescue my father-in-law." ”

Several members of the Zhou family nodded, and Grandma Zhou said, "Girl, pay attention to safety." ”

Xiao Yue nodded.
