Chapter 4 Buying a Father-in-Law

The grandmother of the Leng family and the butcher father and son were kidnapped by the villagers, and Li Zheng arranged for an ox cart to be sent to the county office.

Leng Wan made up her mind to find a support for herself, followed the memory of the original owner in her mind, hurriedly went into the corner of the dilapidated house where she lived, dug out an altar, took out the only silver ticket hidden inside, glanced at the amount, and the last dozen copper plates in it, all of them were put into her arms, and ran out to chase to the entrance of the village.

"Li Zhengbo, I have something I want to trouble you......"

Li Zheng's scalp hurt when he heard Leng Wan's voice now, "Wan Niang, I'm just a little village chief, you know that trouble doesn't make trouble for me." ”

Leng Wan fell out of her sleeve and landed on the ground, and quickly picked it up and handed it forward, "Li Zhengbo, your copper plate has fallen, I just want to ask you how to go through the procedures for our redemption of slavery, I am in a hurry to do this!" ”

"Oh, that's right." Li Zhengbo stroked the goatee on his chin, pretended to put a small string of copper plates into his sleeve pocket, and beckoned Leng Wan to get into the ox cart together.

"I was planning to ask Ah Niu to call you, the bitter master, to go to the county government to make offerings, and it just so happened that you had to go to our county master for this matter that you were in a hurry."

Leng Wan has never liked to procrastinate, so she simply got on the ox cart and listened to Li Zhengbo popularize the redemption procedures for her all the way.

Li Zhengbo's hand in his sleeve repeatedly frustrated the private money that was rarely obtained by carrying his mother-in-law, and said kindly and coldly: "If you want to learn from that big family to buy someone to serve, you have to weigh your own skills first, don't look at the mountain high." The people in our village are all from poor backgrounds, and you have a little girl in your family who keeps a little money by her side, and you can find a simple and honest peasant man to marry and live a solid life, and you have nothing to think about buying a person who is forced to do anything? Which one of the people who is assigned to the conscription is not a ruthless character who is a traitor and has a case, and a careless disaster makes you unlucky, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Li Zhengbo's words can be described as bitter.

But he did not waver in Leng Wan's determination.

When I arrived at the county office, I finished the confession.

The county magistrate remembered that Grandmother Leng and the butcher had committed a first offense, and there were no bad consequences, and he was sentenced to 50 canes and one year in prison.

You may also pay for your punishment with money, fifty taels of silver for your staff, and a hundred taels of silver for your imprisonment.

All the money that had been obtained was confiscated.

Leng Wan didn't expect that the rules and regulations were placed there, and when they were implemented in the place, they were as light as a weight.

However, the Leng family who came with him scolded Leng Wan at the beginning and refused to recognize his six relatives, and even his grandmother was going to be imprisoned.

Hearing that the court sentenced 150 taels to redeem the sentence, when the sons and grandsons retreated one by one, they couldn't make a sound.

In the end, Boss Leng couldn't afford this unfilial reputation, so he took the second child together, emptied the family and scraped together a hundred taels to redeem the cane and half of the prison sentence for Grandmother Leng.

"Mother, don't blame your son, it's all the money that the son's two sons and your two grandsons are going to marry their daughters-in-law."

"Yes, you can come out of prison after five months in prison, and you don't have to work in the fields to eat and drink, and we come to visit us every now and then with the children and food."

Grandmother Leng knows the family of her two sons best, and although this money does not say that it empties the family foundation, it also consumes most of the family resources.

The Leng family has not been separated so far, and these are all copper plates that she has worked hard for decades!

Now most of the money lost by the scourge of Leng Wan has been pitted.

Her intestines are about to be ruined, "It doesn't matter if my mother stays in prison for half a year, you are absolutely not allowed to let go of Leng Wan's dead girl, if you don't peel her skin and let her bleed, my wife is not willing to die!" ”

When the two brothers of the Leng family heard this, they stared at Leng Wan's back who ran out after the county master, and said hatefully: "Don't worry, the Leng family will never spare the unscrupulous descendants who put their own grandmother in prison!" ”

Saying that, Leng Wan looked at the county master who was about to leave after taking the hundred taels of silver handed over by the Leng family and the butcher, and chased after him.

"The county lord stays."

The county master is working with the master to sum up the twenty taels and hide them from being discovered by Mrs.

Hearing Leng Wan's voice as a bitter master, he suddenly froze, clutched the silver tael that was not yet hot in his hand, and asked in a solemn voice: "Do you have any objections to this official's verdict?" ”

Leng Wan is not stupid enough to carry the rules of this era.

With Grandmother Leng's temperament of not picking up money when she goes out, twenty taels of silver is enough to make her flesh ache for a while.

If she dares to provoke her again, she has a way to make her and the Leng family worse than dead.

"I'm here to ask the county master for something."

Leng Wan said that she wanted to redeem the idea of buying a conscription, and handed over the one hundred taels of silver tickets in her arms, "Part of this silver money is the money for redemption, and the other part is the tea money donated by the little girl to the county government." ”

Anting County is just a small border county, with a harsh climate and barren land.

The county magistrate's life is not as rich as that of the small merchants in the county next door.

Leng Wan repeatedly emphasized that it was enough to buy a seriously ill and dying young man into servitude.

It's just a matter of taking more procedures, and it's good to complete the household registration of the redeemer and don't let people grab it.

Although the county magistrate does not directly manage the mine conscription, he still has the face to go to the officials there to ask for a dying person.

This 100 taels is equivalent to sending him money.

But the words couldn't be said clearly, the county magistrate held the one hundred taels of silver tickets and refused with a regretful face, "The conscripts who are assigned to the border are all serious offenders of the imperial court, and they can't get rid of the conscription unless they make great merit or meet the world's amnesty......"

Leng Wan saw that the county lord was relieved, and immediately understood what the county lord meant.

But the money in her hand is already bankrupt, and there is no more child.

"I know that the county master must have a good way to help me do this." As she spoke, her eyes turned around the county lord's blue eyebrows and dark circles, and she had an idea at the moment.

I saw her take out the charcoal and straw paper she brought with her, write a prescription and hand it over, "This prescription can temporarily alleviate the hidden illness of the county master, how effective the medicine is, you can see it to the doctor you know, and it should be regarded as a thank you gift for the little woman." ”

The reason why I didn't give away the finished medicine in the medical space was that I was worried that someone would see something different, and secondly, I was worried that the county master was worried about the safety of medication, so it was better to give a prescription to save a lot of trouble.
