Although the cell was not used much, Liu Paner had people repair it before, and it was not only sturdy, but also spacious.

Even if these forty people were caught, it was not crowded. One cell for every ten people, and there is still a surplus.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "You have also worked hard, after arranging a special person to guard, rest early." Tomorrow we have the spirit, and we will interrogate again. ”

Liu Kui responded, "Yes, General." The amount of silver seized amounted to 34,000 taels, and the usury IOUs amounted to 2,800 taels. Judging from the IOUs, these silver were not only deceived from Jixiang Town, but also from several surrounding towns such as Baisha Town. Now they have been sealed in different categories and guarded by special personnel. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "All the people who participated in the arrest tonight will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver each." ”

Liu Kui clenched his fists, "Thank you for the reward." ”

After Liu Kui left, Liu Pan'er sighed, "Alas, gambling is the worst!" Once they get involved in gambling, I punish them harshly and make them suffer, and they will not correct it. ”

Li Yuanqing thought so, "Just follow the method I said before, go to work in the quarry." If you don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, then let them taste the bitterness. ”

Liu Pan'er yawned, "Let's rest early, I'm tired from riding in the carriage all the way." Get rested, and you'll have to deal with that big mess tomorrow. ”

Li Yuanqing carried Liu Pan'er to the bedroom, although he was a little distracted, he was really tired along the way.

As soon as she arrived at the bed, Liu Paner yawned a few more times and closed her eyes.

Li Yuanqing felt that staying by the side of his beloved woman like this was also full of happiness.

As for the rest, I'll talk about it when I'm rested.

This night is not destined to be quiet.

The villagers in the village who sincerely welcomed Li Yuanqing and Liu Pan'er back all drank more wine today, and fell asleep after returning home.

The mother-in-law of the family slapped a few times and scolded a few words, but she also tried her best to serve her own man.

Bring hot water to wipe your face, hands and feet.

There were also some women who were restless at this time.

The man in the family did not come back, and the daughter-in-law of the family knew best.

During this time, men often came back very late, saying that they were playing and drinking outside, and spent a lot of money.

If you ask a few more questions, you will be reprimanded and even beaten.

Later, he robbed the family's private money, saying that he was going to do business, but he couldn't say anything.

Li Liulang's daughter-in-law, Wang, heard her husband talking in his sleep, closed her eyes and excitedly shouted "Open big and small, leopard......

Although Wang doesn't know how to gamble, he has heard about it, and then he knows that his husband gambles.

Under questioning, Li Liulang admitted it and gave the won silver to the Wang family.

Wang was very angry at first and quarreled with Li Liulang until Li Liulang took the silver home.

Wang couldn't help but rejoice when he saw that Bai Huahua's silver was twice as much as before.

not only beat Li Liulang's back, but also bought wine and served him well at home.

Li Liulang came back in the middle of the night and slept until three o'clock in the daytime the next day.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law thought that Li Liulang was very lazy, and the neighbors also laughed at Li Liulang for tossing blindly at night and tossing himself so much that he couldn't get out of bed.

Wang also interceded with her husband, saying that Li Liulang was very hard.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law really thought that their son and daughter-in-law were busy giving birth, so they didn't say much.

At this time, Li Liulang's father, Li Qi's grandfather, didn't know that his son was addicted to gambling, and the more he gambled, the bigger he gambled, and he stole the silver he hid under the bed to gamble.

After Wang finished eating the flowing water feast, not long after her husband returned, he asked for all her silver.

said that he would do a big job tonight and come back with more money.

Not only that, Li Liulang also stole five hundred taels of silver under his father-in-law's bed.

Wang was worried, but he couldn't resist Li Liulang, and he didn't dare to make a big noise and wake up his parents-in-law, so he could only watch Li Liulang leave over the wall.

At this time, Wang kept walking back and forth in the house, and usually at midnight, her husband would return.

It had been a long time since midnight, and she could faintly hear the watchman beating the gong, and it was already four watches.

Exhausted physically and mentally, Wang sat on the bed waiting for her husband, exhausted and fell asleep.

Wake up immediately when you hear a rooster crow. Wang looked around, but found no trace of her husband, and was even more anxious.

If the husband goes out to do business, it will be fine, and the Wang family can also find someone to go out and look for her husband with great fanfare.

But she knew that her husband was gambling, and if he was caught, it would be miserable.

Such a situation is staged in many people's homes in Jixiang Village, Jixiang Town.

Now that it was dawn, these women, who were worried about their husbands, hurried out of the house and went out to look for them under the pretext of buying groceries.

found acquaintances from the tavern, but there was no trace.

There is not only one, but quite a few such people. There were other women who looked for the Wang family and had to laugh dryly, and casually made an excuse, not daring to tell the truth.

That night, Zhao Laolai and the other fourteen people who formed the bureau looked at each other.

Zhao Laolai was locked up with the villagers of Jixiang Village at this time, because he had been trying to win people over as a guest before.

When Li Liulang gambled before, the dog was quite bold, but he was very timid at this time, and he was so frightened that he kept crying.

Zhao Laolai saw that Li Liulang kept crying, he was upset, he was so dry that he kicked Li Liulang away.

"What are you crying about? What's the use of crying! Why don't you think about how to get out of here? ”

Li Liulang was kicked and sat on the ground, "They have all been arrested, and they are surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, we can't fly out even if we have wings!" ”

Zhao Laolai's eyes rolled, "Jixiang Town is just a small town, and it is not a county government, so it has no right to lock us up!" It's against the law! ”

Li Liulang had a bitter face, "But we also break the law by gambling." Before, Mrs. Dre repeatedly ordered us not to gamble, but now that she has caught us all, she will inevitably be punished heavily. ”

Zhao Laolai thought that all the silver they had earned in several towns during this time had fallen into the hands of Mrs. Derui and Li Yuanqing, and he felt distressed.

But it's useless to feel distressed now, find a way to get out of here first.

The two soldiers patrolling back and forth heard the conversation between Zhao Laolai and Li Liulang, and they couldn't cry or laugh.

"You gamblers, who gamble knowing that you are breaking the law, are even more guilty. Although Jixiang Town is only a town, this is His Majesty's personal seal, and it is illegal to break the law within the scope of Jixiang Town, except for the most vicious murders, other mayors have the right to deal with it. ”

"That is, now that our general is back, he is also a man with strict military discipline. Usually the most annoying thing is gambling and visiting the green house. You can not be capable, but you must not be of character. Wait, the general will not spare these people. ”

Hearing the discussion of people outside, whether it was the people from Jixiang Village or those who organized the bureau, they were all worried and uneasy.

If you don't die this time, you have to peel off your skin.

Old man Zhou outside was apprehensive when he saw the patrol officers coming and going.

Seeing his son coming, Old Man Zhou hurriedly asked, "Third child, did you really give that letter to Mrs. Drey?" ”
