"You take the five hundred taels," Xi He handed the five hundred miles silver ticket to Xu Ze.

Xu Ze was stunned, "Give it to me?" ”

"It's all your credit to be able to save that child, if it weren't for the clues you provided, the child might have the same fate as the previous ones, so you are a great hero, and you deserve this money."

Xi He looked at Xu Ze with gentle eyes.

"Don't leak money, hide it carefully, don't be known by others, if you want to use it, you can come to me and exchange it for broken silver."

Qiao Xuan carefully advised, paused and said: "If someone asks you about today's matter, you will say that I found out about Xu Gou's abduction of children, and your father was beaten and arrested has nothing to do with you." ”

"Do you understand?"

Xu Ze was not stupid, his eyes were red, he knew that Qiao Xuan didn't want him to be poked in the backbone by everyone and scolded him for betraying his father for being unkind and unfilial, so he took the matter on her.

"Understood! Thank you, village chief, I'm going to rot in my stomach today. ”

Qiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Clean up the yard well, rest for a while, you don't need to build the road."

When Qiao Xuan and Xi He left from Xu's house, the villagers who had been curious for a long time dared to come over.

"Village chief, what's wrong with the Xu family?"

Li Yue was more courageous than the others, and walked next to Qiao Xuan and asked with a smile.

"Humph!" Qiao Xuan snorted coldly, "What's wrong?" You don't even know what's wrong? ”

A smile flashed in Xi He's eyes.

Several women were confused by Qiao Xuan's rhetorical question, could it be that they should know what it was?

I was puzzled when I heard Qiao Xuan continue: "It has not been a day or two since Xu Gou and his wife abducted and sold children, you actually live in the same village with them with confidence, and you are not afraid that he will steal your children one day to sell." ”

"This time, he was also a little bit back, and I happened to bump into it. The son of the old man Qin in the county has been abducted for a month.

The child is hiding in our Taoyuan Village, you say, if this matter spreads, who doesn't treat the people in our village as jackals, tigers and leopards? ”

Li Yue and the others were taken aback, they didn't expect Xu Gouyu and his wife to be so heartbroken, fortunately nothing happened to their children, otherwise it would really be ......

"Village chief, we really don't know about this!"

"That's right! Our family has very little contact with Xu Gou's remaining family, and we absolutely don't know about his abduction. ”

"Damn Xu Gouyu, isn't this discrediting our village's reputation! Although our village has a bad reputation, there has never been such a thing as child abduction and trafficking! How will the girls in our village marry in the future? ”

The more everyone talked about it, the more they felt that this matter was serious, and their hearts became heavy.

"Anyway, the Qin family has now reported to the official, and the people have been taken away, so it is estimated that this matter will not be able to be handled."

Qiao Xuan pretended to sigh helplessly, "It's not good to do something, steal children, and specifically steal the rich and powerful Qin family, tsk." ”

Li Yue couldn't help but worry when she thought of her eldest son, "They can't be released back, right?" ”

Qiao Xuan glanced at Xi He and coughed lightly, "Abducting and selling children is a felony, how can you be put back if you have to cut off your hands, feet, and throats." ”

"You guys should be clear-headed! It's okay for our village to be poor, but we can't do this kind of unconscionable thing.

Otherwise, the reputation of the entire village chief will be ruined, and no one who has a son wants to marry into our village, and no one who has a daughter wants to marry a girl from the abducted village. ”

"Ahh Don't worry, village chief, our virtue is a little worse, but we can't do such a bad thing as Xu Gouyu did! ”

"So is our family."

Everyone said a word, and they parted at the entrance of the village, and the idle women continued to sit under the tree and chat, while Qiao Xuan and Xi He went to repair the road.
