Early in the morning, Haozi came with five men, including Lao Cheng and Brother Yong, hired four or five carriages, pulled a huge bath barrel the size of half a room, plus four carriages of green bricks, and some tubular or square things that could not be said to be tools.

Yang Qicheng was dumbfounded, good guy, this bath bucket, let alone one person bathing, is more than enough for three or four people: "Lao Cheng, I asked you to make a bath bucket, are you going to make a bath room for me?" ”

Lao Cheng returned Yang Qicheng with a meaningful smile, and then measured the bluestone ground in the corner of the courtyard with his feet.

Looks like I'm going to build a bathhouse.

The three men looked a little anxious: "Lao Cheng, you built a bathhouse and occupied half of the yard, and you won't be able to stretch it out when you learn martial arts in the future......"

Yang Qicheng took over the conversation: "Just do it." You can go to the roof or the mountain to learn martial arts, not only to practice fighting, but also to practice light skills, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Three Gentlemen: "......"

The courtyard began to work with a tinkling of tinkling, while Yan Fangxiang was spinning thread in the room.

When it was close to dusk, an unexpected guest came to the house: Yan Fangcao.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was frightened by the five men who were working shirtless in the courtyard, retracted his head, nested behind the door, and asked boldly: "Is this the Yang family of Yang Da Yanzi?" ”

At least half of Yang Shizi's surname is Yang, so Yan Fangxiang specially mentioned the nickname of Yang Da Yanzi.

Ah Yong, who was throwing bricks below, put on his clothes, opened the half-hidden door completely, and looked at Yan Fangxiang with a face: "This is the old Yang family of Yang Dayanzi, who are you?" Where did you come from, and what are you looking for him for? ”

Where is the attitude of the master, it is clearly a trial.

Yan Fangcao didn't dare to look at Ah Yong squarely, and she stammered a little nervously: "I, I'm the cousin of Yang Dayan's wife." Something happened to Lao Yan's family, so he came to deliver the letter on purpose. ”

Ah Yong went to the backyard and delivered a letter to Yang Qicheng.

Yang Qicheng did not inform Yan Fangxiang, but took Yan Fangcao outside the courtyard and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yan Fangcao recounted the matter as briefly as possible.

The matter is very simple, the big house lost one hundred taels of silver, Yan Jianye accused Yan Jianxun of stealing money to pay off gambling debts, Yan Jianxun did not admit it, Yan Dazhu tied him up and locked him up, and forced Zhang Hongying to pay back one hundred taels of silver before dawn, otherwise he would be an official and let Yan Jianxun go to prison.

Yang Qicheng's brows furrowed tightly: "Don't tell your cousin about this, I'll go with you." ”

Yang Qicheng beckoned to the nearest Ah Yong, and he drove the donkey cart, followed closely by the donkey hired by Yan Fangcao, and went straight to Liuhe Village.

.

Liuhe Village, the Yan family's big house, in front of the bedroom.

Zhang Hongying curled up pitifully in front of the door, and patted the door weakly with her palm: "Please, let my son go, don't go to the official ......"

The door really opened, and Sun Yaru splashed a basin of cold water, pouring Zhang Hongying with a cold heart, and her body trembled vigorously.

Zhang Hongying crawled on the ground, stubbornly pulling Sun Yaru's skirt, and was stepped on by Sun Yaru's palm, sneering: "If you give birth to a son, it's better to be obedient than a bitch cub!" If I were you, Gabba would have been killed with a bang, saving people from embarrassment! ”

Zhang Hongying was powerless to refute, her son was a habitual thief, and the only thing she could do was to beg for mercy: "Sister-in-law, please, let Jianxun go, I will pay back the money slowly, don't go through the official ......"

The door slammed shut and bolted.

Wang Yuemei really couldn't look at it anymore, so she took a piece of clothing and draped it on Zhang Hongying: "Second sister-in-law, go back to the house first, don't wait for Jianxun to be rescued, you will fall ill first." ”

Zhang Hongying seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and tears rained down: "Yuemei, do you have silver in your hand?" Can you lend it to me? When I redeem Jianxun, I will be a cow and a horse in the future, and I will slowly return ......"

Wang Yuemei was very speechless, and replied unceremoniously: "Second sister-in-law, I can't take over the embroidery work now, the family has no land and no land, and I am all counting on the little silver of the family to live, spending a penny and a penny." Even if I lend it to you regardless of the life or death of the whole family, what will you pay me back in the future? Do you still have a dowry for your daughter? ”

Zhang Hongying collapsed in the puddle, crying profusely.

was crying, a donkey barked outside the door, and Yan Fangcao took Yang Qicheng and Haozi into the courtyard.

Zhang Hongying turned to kowtow to Yang Qicheng again, so frightened that Yang Qicheng quickly dodged, bypassed his mother-in-law, kicked down the door, and took Yan Jianxun out of the room, used to the ground, untied the rope and the rag in his mouth.

Everyone in the big house chased them out.

Yan Dazhu's old face turned red with anger: "Yang Da Yanzi, no matter how evil you are, you can't do without the royal law." The three rooms have been separated, and Yan Jianxun doesn't ask about taking the money from the big house, that is, stealing money. The solution is either to pay back the money or go to jail, you stop me, I will report to the official tomorrow morning, and let the head catcher arrest you as an accomplice! ”

One hundred taels of silver is too much, and Yan Dazhu doesn't care about Yang Da Yan and Wang Da Yanzi, it's true that he wants the money back.

Yan Jianxun hugged Yang Dayanzi's thigh tightly with both hands: "Brother-in-law saved me, I was really wronged, I just stole the twenty taels of silver from the family, and didn't take the uncle's family." ”

Yan Dazhu immediately retorted: "Jianye has inquired, you lost more than thirty taels, how can twenty taels be enough?" You stole my money, pay me back!" ”

Yang Qicheng's face was indifferent: "Yan Dazhu, what's wrong with your deafness?" Jianxun said that he didn't steal, he didn't steal, and whoever said he stole it was not good. ”

Yan Jianxun looked at his brother-in-law in a daze, his eyes were full of incredulity, everyone, including his mother Zhang Hongying, no one believed that he didn't steal, Yang Qicheng chose to believe him without asking.

This feeling is more sour and heartwarming than eating sour apricots in May.

Yang Qicheng frowned coldly at Yan Dazhu: "When did you lose the silver?" Where did you lose it? Who has been in and out during this period? ”

Yan Dazhu replied reluctantly: "It was hidden in the rat hole under the cupboard, it was lost an hour ago, I asked around, only Jianxun went out, saying that his master returned to his hometown, and he helped his master clean up the house, and it is very likely that the money was hidden in the house surnamed Fang......"

Yan Dazhu only dared to go to the nest and asked him to go to Lao Fang's house to search, but he didn't dare.

Yang Qicheng still bit to death: "Jianxun said that if he didn't steal, he didn't steal, but I want to find out where the silver went." ”

Yang Qicheng stepped forward, but he didn't take a step, and Yan Jianxun hugged his thighs like a dogskin plaster.

Yang Qicheng was furious: "Let go!" If you don't let go, how can I return your innocence? With your sister here, I won't leave you alone. ”

Yan Jianxun let go pitifully.

Yang Qicheng walked to the rat hole behind the cupboard that Yan Dazhu said, bent down, lowered his head, and sniffed with his nose.

Immediately, he walked slowly twice in front of everyone, and then, after walking around the room twice, stopped under an eaves, took a few steps back, accelerated his run, and took three or two steps to the roof, and threw a small burden from the roof.

Sun Yaru immediately opened the baggage, no more than one hundred taels of silver.

Yang Qicheng walked up to Wang Dazhu and said with a cold face: "The thief shouts to catch the thief, it's too old-fashioned deception." Do you recruit yourself, or will I recruit you again? ”

Yan Dazhu immediately shrank in fright: "Nephew, niece and son-in-law, it should be, I am old and confused, I remember the wrong place, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, misunderstanding......"

Yang Qicheng spit out a sentence lightly: "Ten taels of silver hush money, otherwise, the official." Jianxun has no effect on Li Chenqiu's test, you are a father-in-law. You figure it out for yourself. ”

Yan Dazhu: "......"

As the saying goes, stealing chickens does not make rice.

Yan Dazhu endured it without having a seizure, and directly offered ten miles of silver.

In his heart, he secretly decided that the wool was out of the sheep, and since it affected Li Chen's career, then this silver should be paid by his daughter and son-in-law.

Ten taels is too little, and it takes fifty taels or one hundred taels.
