Chapter 60: Blatant Blackmail

Chen Xiaonian's heart tightened, "Yes." ”

Feng Wei's face turned cold instantly, "You come with me." ”

Out of the restaurant, Chen Xiaonian followed him to the side. The first two officials stood on the left and the right, and the people had to take a detour when they saw it.

"Do you know who your husband is?"

Chen Xiaonian's heart sank suddenly, "What do you mean, adult?" ”

Feng Wei sneered, "He's a criminal of the imperial court, what do you mean by me?" ”

Huan Wei had already guessed the answer, and Chen Xiaonian was still panicked at this time.

"You talk nonsense!"

"If I'm talking nonsense, why did the Chen family spend such a big price to keep him out?"

Price?

Chen Xiaonian was stunned, didn't Mrs. Chen come forward and say a few words? Why did you still negotiate the price?

Guessing her thoughts, Feng Wei snorted coldly, "You don't know that the Chen family spent two hundred taels of silver before the yamen released Jian Erlang?" ”

Two hundred taels!

The two hundred taels weren't given to her by Zhang's mother......

Chen Xiaonian realized it later, "Did the Chen family really give you two hundred taels?" ”

"Imperial court prisoner!"

Feng Wei's voice suddenly rose up, Chen Xiaonian's brain was blank, rushed over to cover his mouth, and when she reacted, she quickly withdrew her hand, turned her back behind her, and washed it with spiritual spring water in disgust.

The dignified pavilion chief, who is also an adult in the town, is covered by a girl, and his face must be ugly.

Feng Weitie blushed, "Chen Xiaonian, the yamen can help you cover up for a while, and you get carried away?" Recently, someone is coming, and they are here to arrest your minister, Jian Erlang. The Chen family can help you once, can they help you every time? ”

Chen Xiaonian's face turned pale, "What did you say?" ”

"Your family's business has been doing so ostentatiously lately, and you have gone to the county to do business? Earned a lot of money, right? As long as you can get the same amount of silver as the Chen family, when someone comes to the court, I can cover it up for you. If you can't take it out, Jian Erlang will be arrested at that time, or he will be punished on the spot. ”

Chen Xiaonian was dumbfounded. "You...... Ask me for two hundred taels of silver? ”

Feng Wei raised his eyebrows, "What, reluctant?" ”

She gritted her teeth, so anxious that she cried a little. "How can I have two hundred taels of silver!"

Feng Wei suddenly approached, "Jian Erlang, who was originally a prisoner of the imperial court, killed more than ten lives in the gambling house, since the people of the imperial court have found out here, do you think he can still escape?" ”

Chen Xiaonian is like falling into an ice cave.

"What? Can't get out a mere two hundred taels? ”

Feng Wei sneered, "Since that's the case, then it's no wonder to me." ”

With that, he shouted that the two officials were leaving.

Chen Xiaonian shouted to him, "I can't take out two hundred taels." ”

She took out all the money she had earned today, "That's all I have on me." ”

Feng Wei couldn't look at this little bit of silver.

He didn't speak, but let the dogs around him persuade him: "The pavilion chief controls the people on one side and is the biggest executive officer in the township." The silver is given, and your family Jian Erlang can be safe. If you don't give it, your family will definitely be in trouble in the future, and it will be even more difficult to make money in the town. Chen Xiaonian, you have to think clearly. ”

Chen Xiaonian gritted his teeth, "I really don't have so much silver." Your Excellency, you can't let me rob it! ”

Suddenly, her brain became bright, and when she spoke again, there was no panic, only calm and calm.

"My lord said that there were people in the court, but I don't know if anyone came. Even if you come, the adult said that it was to check my father-in-law, so it was really to check my father-in-law? Besides, whether my Xianggong is a criminal of the imperial court or not, it is not something you can count with a word. ”

Feng Wei's eyes had a touch of anger.

"I underestimated you. But let me remind you again, Jian Erlang killed more than ten lives in the gambling house, which is a fact. ”

As he spoke, his voice rose again.

Chen Xiaonian panicked and wanted to cover his mouth. Feng Wei had already prepared, and two officials stepped forward and pushed her to the ground.

"You can't take out two hundred taels, but one hundred taels is always available, right? If you don't see the 100 taels of silver tomorrow, your family and your Heshan Village will all be treated as harboring Qin criminals and will be punished for crimes! ”

Dropping these cruel words, Feng Wei strode away.

Chen Xiaonian got up from the ground, his eyes were red, and he didn't dare to chase after him.

The guy in the restaurant was not at ease, so he came out to take a look, "Miss Xiao Nian, what did the pavilion chief tell you about a good thing?" ”

She squeezed out an ugly smile, "It's just a casual question, it's not a good thing." ”

The guy is the best at reading people's faces, and when he sees her like this, he dares to ask again.

She found her carriage, but she didn't see Jiro. thought that Erlang was resting in the carriage, but he lifted the curtain of the car, and there was no one.

I was anxious to find someone, and I just turned around and almost got on someone.

Looking up to see who he was, Chen Xiaonian became aggrieved, "Where have you been, why haven't you waited here?" ”

Jiro stuffed the things in his hand into her.

The things in the palm of the palm are wrapped in paper, and you can vaguely smell the fragrance of osmanthus, which is hot, and it should have just come out of the pot.

When I opened it, it was really a freshly made osmanthus cake.

After coming to the town several times, Chen Xiaonian was already hungry, but he was only willing to look at it twice before he returned, and he didn't taste anything at all.

She sniffed, "Where did you get the money?" ”

Erlang gestured, meaning the three taels of silver given by Shopkeeper Liu on his body today.

was originally to please the little daughter-in-law, but Chen Xiaonian suddenly got angry and returned the osmanthus cake to him, "If you have money, you won't save your life, what do you have to spend it for?" Is it easy for me to earn those three taels of silver? ”

She turned around angrily and left, Erlang was stunned and pestle there, and only remembered to chase after the little daughter-in-law when she was far away.

Chen Xiaonian was angry and didn't want to get into the car, Erlang didn't persuade him, and he couldn't persuade him, so he just led the horse and followed her.

Erlang doesn't understand, how much is it for two osmanthus cakes?

The little daughter-in-law still feels sorry for the three taels of silver, but he also earned ten taels from hunting, right?

But Erlang didn't know that Chen Xiaonian was angry with him, and she was angry with herself.

Back at home, Chen Xiaonian found an excuse to enter the house, locked the door, and didn't go out.

Erlang pushed the door but didn't push it, obviously stunned for a moment. Wang asked him what the pestle was doing there, Erlang shook his head, took a woodcutter, and went up the mountain.

In the house, Chen Xiaonian counted the silver he had earned in the past few days, and even with the ten taels he earned today, there were only more than ten taels of silver.

Even if he sells the puppet doll tomorrow and earns the young lady's silver, it will not be enough for the hundred taels.

"Nian, what's wrong with you and your uncle?"

The more Wang thought about it, the more wrong it became, and knocked on the door, "You guys quarreled?" ”

The more anxious he was, the more panicked Chen Xiaonian became. Hearing Wang's question, he almost pushed away the stone that was pressing on his heart, and told her everything about Erlang.

But she knows Wang's temperament best, and if Wang knows, she will be even more panicked than herself.
