Old man Li hurriedly called his two sons, and then looked for the shopkeeper theory together.

"Shopkeeper, more than a hundred taels of silver were stolen from us, and someone put smoke in our room yesterday. Have you ever seen a thief? Old man Li suppressed the panic and irritability in his heart and asked patiently.

Li Yuanwu's eyes widened like bull's eyes, and he snorted angrily, "You black shop, quickly return our silver." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that these people were not local accents, they were outside, so he was naturally not afraid, "They all say that they catch traitors and catch stolen goods." You didn't catch anything, and I didn't admit that there was a thief in my inn. Go out and turn right, go forward a hundred zhang, there is the government, you report to the official. I don't have the ability to find thieves for you, you let those who are officials find them for you. ”

Anyway, he couldn't admit it, and he didn't steal the silver anyway, and he wasn't the guy in the inn. These people did not catch the thief red-handed, everything is one-sided.

When Old Man Li saw that the shopkeeper was so slippery, he knew that he couldn't tell the shopkeeper, and then hurriedly asked his eldest son to report to the official.

The county government sent two officials over, asked the shopkeeper and the people in the inn, and went through the motions. It was found that the latch of the door was indeed damaged, which proved that there were indeed thieves in this inn.

The Li family did have money stolen, but they just couldn't find the thief.

The people of the county government left and went to do other things, and as for the matter of tracking down the thief, it was not something that could be caught in a day or two, and in the end it was over.

Old man Li's face turned black and his body was shaky.

When Mrs. Li thought of the days when she had no money in the future, her tears flowed even more fiercely, "The officials all said that there are thieves in your inn, and we spend money to live in the hotel, but you are a black shop, and you steal our silver!" ”

"If you lose money, if you don't lose money, we won't leave." Li Yuanwu also shouted at the door, jumped up and scolded.

Li Yuangong even shouted, "My brother is a Wupin general, if you dare to hack my family's silver in this black shop, I will not spare you." Lose money, don't lose money, I will definitely write to my brother and settle accounts with you! ”

Mrs. Li was even more shameless, shouting, "Mrs. Derui is my daughter-in-law, you don't eat and drink when you toast, don't let my daughter-in-law come to trouble you." ”

Wang Yashi had not found out because of this errand, which had caused a lot of trouble to Mrs. Drey, and he felt guilty, but when he heard that the Li family was still talking nonsense outside in the name of Mrs. Drey, he spoke up.

"Old lady, you do have a son of General Wupin, but you have also been divided by you for ten taels of silver a year. Mrs. Dre used to be your daughter-in-law, but now that she has reconciled with your son, she is not your daughter-in-law, and there is no need for you to talk nonsense about Mrs. Drew's reputation here. ”

Originally, the shopkeeper was still a little worried, but after hearing the words of the Wang Yaservant, he suddenly understood that this family was not treated by Mrs. Derui. A Wupin general who can reconcile with Mrs. Drey, is not a good thing.

The shopkeeper directly called a few thugs, "If there is no evidence to slander our inn, I will not be polite." ”

"You're a black shop, don't you want people to talk about it?" Li Yuangong jumped up and scolded angrily, he didn't believe that these people really dared to beat him.

"Since these people toast and don't eat and drink, then give me a beating, I don't know what is good or bad." The shopkeeper gave an order, and several young men took sticks and hit Li Yuangong.

These guys don't want to die, they beat their arms and buttocks, although it hurts, they won't hurt their muscles and bones.

Li Yuangong was beaten up and down, and kept screaming.

Originally, Li Yuanwu also wanted to quarrel, but when he saw his eldest brother being beaten, he hurriedly pulled his son back.

The shopkeeper saw that the officials in the same company did not look down on these people, so he knew that these people were irrelevant. However, several officials were stolen six taels of silver, and the shopkeeper could not refuse to give it.

In private, he gave eight taels of silver, six taels of silver to compensate Wang Ya and others for being stolen, and the remaining two taels of silver were regarded as reparations.

When the king took the silver, he naturally didn't look for trouble, and urged his companions to take the people away quickly.

Li Yuangong was beaten to the point that he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Old man Li panicked for a while and looked around blankly.

While wiping the blood stains on her eldest son's face, Mrs. Li choked up and said, "Boss, we are penniless, and we can only drink porridge when we go back to Xunyang Mansion, why don't we go back to Jixiang Village?" We are all from the village, and we can't watch us starve to death. ”

Li Yuanwu said in a muffled voice: "That's it, Dad, let's go back, it's all in the same village, and we can't see death without help." ”

Li Dahe's stomach gurgled, "Dad, I'm hungry." ”

Old man Li's eyes were dark, and he also regretted that he wanted to divide the sect, and even more regretted leaving Jixiang Village. But now when I go back, I am looked down upon by others, which makes Old Man Li unbearable.

"When you crossed the Dadu River, there were murderous bandits behind you, and you didn't pay the villagers? Then you could see death without saving them, and now they can see death without saving them. "Old man Li is very bad, lazy and pedantic, but he is not really stupid.

After going back this time, I didn't get any benefit.

Here, others treat him as a fart, and a stinky fart.

Old man Li doesn't want to stay here, there is a house and land in his hometown, and he will go back to his hometown next year to live a comfortable life.

After the others heard Old Man Li's words, they were speechless.

The king gave each of them two steamed buns, urging them to hurry up and eat them, and then go on the road.

The head of the family decided this, and the others did not refute it, so they had to hang their heads and hurry. I knew that the busy work was empty, so it was better to stay in Fucheng honestly.

At least Li Yingniang won't run away, and she can still sell it for twenty or thirty taels of silver, and it will take a long time.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the Li family can only admit it.

Let's say that Liu Pan'er rode all the way and was very fast, but after riding for more than an hour, she was tired, so she came down to rest and drink saliva.

I stopped three times on the way, and I also ate dry food for lunch, and only arrived in Xunyang Mansion in the afternoon.

Liu Pan'er was like falling apart, riding a horse for a short distance was okay, and for a long distance, she was also guilty. In the future, I still have to buy a carriage, and it is better to sit in the carriage and bump it, but it is better than grinding my legs painfully.

Liu Paner found an inn and booked the best room.

The inside is very clean, the price is also very beautiful, it costs three taels of silver for a night, plus food and drink, it is estimated that it costs five taels of silver a day.

Although it is expensive, it is also relatively safe and clean.

She wrote a post, with the seal of Mrs. Wupin's edict, and spent a tael of silver to ask the inn's junior two to help deliver it to the prefect's yamen.

The shopkeeper saw that he could send a post to the prefect's yamen, and he was more respectful to Liu Paner, and he also explained to the little two in the inn, serving him attentively.

While cooking dinner, the shopkeeper came back and brought back a reply from the prefect Zhao, and he and his wife were waiting for Mrs. Derui at home tomorrow.

Only then did the shopkeeper know that Liu Paner was the famous Mrs. Derui of Xunyang Mansion, a high-yield crop with great merit. It has spread all over the Great Zhou, and no one knows it, and no one knows it. Therefore, the shopkeeper was respectful to Liu Paner from the bottom of his heart.
