"Carpenter Lee?"

Song Ren was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask, he heard the old farmer sigh and speak to himself.

"Alas, Mr. Kan has an extraordinary temperament, he is a scholar, right? Are you here to ask Carpenter Li to work? ”

"It's a pity that Carpenter Li can't help you work now, it's really blindless, Carpenter Li is such a loyal and honest person, but he has encountered this kind of injustice."

The old farmer slammed his mouth and kept shaking his head, looking sorry.

Song Ren roughly guessed that the carpenter Li in the other party's mouth should be Xiaocui's uncle, and the so-called injustice naturally refers to the lawsuit.

He arched his hand and asked gently, "Then where is Carpenter Li now?" ”

The old farmer looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed, "I'm afraid he is still in the deep mountains, collecting medicine for his poor niece." Mr. doesn't know something, this Li carpenter's niece Xiaocui is currently seriously injured and in a coma, and he has scattered all his savings to help Xiaocui redeem herself, and there is no silver to send to him for treatment, so he can only go up the mountain early and late to collect medicine, hanging the poor baby's half life, sad and lamentable! ”

"The old man still advises Mr. Don't wait, if you insist on waiting, I can find a few villagers who want to go up the mountain to help you pass on a message."

"I'm tired of the old man."

Song Ren bowed slightly to the other party.

"Eh, I can't help it, Mr. is full of poetry and books, how can he do this great gift for the old man, who is half into the loess."

The old farmer wanted to help Song Ren up, but he was afraid that his hands would stain the other party's clothes, so he had to stand aside and rub his hands honestly, smiling so wrinkled that his face wrinkled together.

He had a good impression of the knowledgeable posterior in front of him, so he decided to help him find Carpenter Li quickly.

The old peasant strode away with his hoe on his shoulder.

Song Ren stood alone by the door, breathing in the fresh air of the countryside, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

The simplicity and sincerity of the people of this dynasty gave him the idea of wanting to improve their lives.

But soon, Song Ren pressed this arduous idea in his heart, because he clearly recognized that he was currently powerless, and just relying on those avant-garde ideas and knowledge in his head, what he got might not be the appreciation of the powerful, but a sentence.

"Evil words confuse the public, behead!"

I don't know how many hours later, the dirty carpenter Li walked slowly towards the house.

He was carrying a medicine basket on his back, his shirt was torn with a few holes, and he even had a few branches tied in his hair, and he looked very embarrassed.

Carpenter Li was still wondering who would have come from here, but when he saw Song Ren's appearance from a distance, a trace of anger appeared on his face.

He recognized Song Ren as the master invited by Chai Dafu in the yamen yesterday!

He wanted to turn around and leave and continue to go back to the mountains to collect medicine, but after thinking about it, he walked over quickly.

"Now the teachers are so conscientious and help collect debts?"

Carpenter Li's tone was full of ridicule, obviously treating Song Ren as someone sent by Chai Dafu.

Song Ren knew that he had been misunderstood, so he could only explain helplessly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to visit Xiaocui, although I helped write the paper, but yesterday in the court, I didn't say a word for Chai Dafu." ”

After speaking, Song Ren also deliberately mentioned the things he brought.

Who knows, instead of appreciating it, Carpenter Li was even more angry, pointing at Song Ren's nose and scolding: "The cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy!" Just because of your complaint, Xiaocui is still unconscious, because you are still a reader, and the books have been read to the dog's stomach! ”

Immediately afterward, all kinds of ugly words mixed with spittle.

Song Ren could only stand aside with a wry smile and let Carpenter Li vent, he knew that the other party was angry with him.

When Carpenter Li finished greeting his ancestors, Song Ren lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Finished scolding?" It's time to listen to me when you're done scolding. ”

"Okay, I'd like to hear what you're going to say!"

After Carpenter Li vented the grievances in his heart, he also calmed down.

He was really curious about what this Song Xiangshi, who specializes in helping rich people fight lawsuits, and reversing black and white without distinguishing between right and wrong, wants to do.

Song Ren said slowly: "Scolding can't solve the problem, the magistrate has also been sentenced, and when the time comes, you can't pay the money, and you have to be locked up in prison, what should Xiaocui do, have you ever thought about it?" ”

"Even if you want to run, it's not a good idea to take the unconscious Xiao Cui with you, not to mention, I heard that you don't have the money to treat Xiao Cui yet."

Hearing this, Carpenter Li's anger surged up again.

"That's not your fault!"

"What did I do? Isn't it normal for me to use people's money to help people fight lawsuits? Why, if someone asks you to make a wooden stick and then knocks someone to death, then the government still has to punish you? ”

Carpenter Li was speechless, and his mouth was open for a long time before he held back: "Crooked reasoning!" ”

Song Ren didn't bother to explain, and continued: "I'm here to help you solve your problems. The best way at the moment is to overturn the case, and I will hand over the pleadings for you and sue Chai Dafu! ”

"Reversal?!"

Carpenter Li was surprised and delighted, but immediately looked at Song Ren with suspicious eyes.

He thought to himself, would you be so good?

Looking at Carpenter Li's eyes, Song Ren also guessed the other party's thoughts: "Believe it or not, anyway, I proposed the method, if you don't overturn the case, according to the law, you need to hand over the fifty taels of compensation to the yamen within three days, otherwise there will be a government official who will come to arrest people, you think for yourself." ”

Carpenter Li pondered for a while, and asked with some curiosity: "This is not good for you at all, I don't have any money for you." ”

Although Carpenter Li had not been in Jiangdu County for a long time, he had heard of Song Ren's deeds.

This guy is simply the master in the eyes of the money, no matter what the truth of the case is, as long as whoever gives more money, the black can be said to be white.

"I don't want money, I just want justice, in that court!"

After Song Ren said this, Carpenter Li seemed to see a beam of light shining on him.

For a moment, Carpenter Li really believed it.

"Come into the house and talk about it."

Carpenter Li's attitude has eased a lot.

Although he was still skeptical, there was really no other better way than to believe in Song Ren.

As Song Ren said earlier, either pay the money or go to jail.

He did think about taking Xiaocui to escape to another place, but Xiaocui was in a coma, which was really inconvenient, and the two of them were likely to be wanted.

It doesn't matter how old he is, but Xiaocui is only twenty-eight years old, so he can't hide in Tibet with him all his life, right?

Sooner or later, she will marry a wife, a husband and children.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a strong smell of herbs came out.

As soon as Song Ren entered the room, he saw Xiao Cui lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

There is also a chaise longue placed next to it, which seems to be where Carpenter Li sleeps.

Looking at Xiao Cui, Carpenter Li inevitably sighed, and said worriedly: "The child's life is miserable, I thought that if I ransomed her, even if I couldn't let her wear gold and silver, it would be better than being a slave and a maid." ”

"But how do you know, this happened."

However, Song Ren didn't listen to these words, he walked quickly to Xiaocui's side and observed carefully.

Xiaocui's appearance is upright, and she is still a little childish, but her body is a little thin due to long-term malnutrition, and her face is also waxy yellow.

The place where her forehead hit, there was a noticeable red bump, which did not go away.

Song Ren touched it lightly, and then rolled Xiao Cui's eyelids again.

Seeing Song Ren fiddling with Xiaocui so casually, Carpenter Li suddenly became angry.

This man and woman can't kiss, not to mention that his niece is still in a coma!

As soon as he wanted to be angry and reprimand, he heard Song Ren say: "It's okay, it's just that the blood congestion has not disappeared, prescribe some medicine to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and with acupuncture, she should wake up." ”
