The corpse has been scooped up by the kind-hearted people, and the old man lying next to the corpse crying and trembling is the old man who sat in their carriage when Liu Yunxiang and they went to Pinghu County to meet the robbers.

Lying on the ground, the two people who had drowned, were her son and daughter-in-law.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, he hadn't seen him for a few days, how could such a thing happen.

"Her son and daughter-in-law jumped off the bridge together, and many of us saw it at the time." A woman sighed.

"How did you jump into the river?" Another woman asked.

"They used to live in the south of the city, and I was not far from his family, and the year before last, the man was addicted to gambling, lost all his family wealth, and borrowed money from Xingsheng Bank. In the end, he couldn't repay the money, so he was taken away by the money bank, and his family left Liangshan County. It's just that he came back a few days ago, saying that he wanted to redeem the house and land, and who knew what happened. ”

"I know, it seems that this man has gone to gamble again, and he has lost the money to redeem the house and the land."

"You talk nonsense! My son doesn't gamble at all! When the old woman heard them talk about her son, she shouted at them angrily.

"My son is hardworking and hardworking, he gritted his teeth and went to work when he was sick, he was never willing to eat well, he didn't drink alcohol, how could he gamble! He didn't."

Everyone also heard about it, so they didn't argue with the old man, after all, she had just lost her son and daughter-in-law.

It's just that when a man left, he wrote a small novel: "I saw him enter the gambling house, how could he not gamble." ”

If it is contaminated with gambling, such an outcome seems to be doomed.

Neighbors she knew helped the old man carry away the bodies of her son and daughter-in-law, and the old man was helped up by other women.

Liu Yunxiang stood aside, and the old woman saw her when she left.

"You came to Liangshan County, you see, this place is a place to eat people!" The old woman shouted at her.

Liu Yunxiang opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, she didn't actually see anything, and she didn't understand what she meant by eating people in this place.

Back at the Nan'an Inn, the next thing they had to do was wait for the sign. In this way, they often wander around the city of Liangshan County, which is prosperous inside the city and stable outside the city, and because the government of Liangshan County is tough, the gang of robbers will not come to disturb.

If you just look at it this way, it can be said that the county guard of Yangsan County is definitely a good official.

"Maybe Leng Yuhai just wants us to help him suppress the bandits?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Yan Du laughed, "If it's just a bandit, do you need to come forward?" ”

"But I really don't see anything wrong."

"Don't rush, take your time."

The inn was not opened, and there was no work at home, so Jin Zi took the three treasures to play every day.

"Mother, today we went to Wanshan Hall." As soon as San Bao saw Liu Yunxiang enter the door, he hurriedly ran to her.

Liu Yunxiang rubbed his son's head, "Did you go to Boshan Hall?" Did you see that young lady? ”

"When I saw her, she played with me."

"Then she wasn't bullied inside, was she?"

"No, she's fine in there."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang nodded.

"I heard from the people inside that a couple is going to adopt the little girl, and she will leave Liangshan County tomorrow." Gold Road.

"That's fine, she'll have a home."

"Wan Shan Tong will adopt children who have lost both parents, and then wait for people with good intentions to adopt them." Gold Road.

"Are there a lot of kids in there?" Liu Yunxiang asked casually.

"Only the little girl is left, and the other children have been adopted."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "All adopted?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang thought to himself that so many people lacked children, and he didn't know if Wanshantang had recorded the identities of those people, so don't get involved in some traffickers or something.

When it was time to eat in the evening, a man in regular clothes came, and Liu Yunxiang recognized that it was the official who took them to see Master Wan that day.

"Official, do you have business?" Yan Du asked.

"I'll pass on a word for Master Wan, you guys have to prepare the silver in the next two days, and you can bid for the brand soon."

"Has the inn returned in the past two days?"

"It's only these two days, you are ready."

The official didn't say much, and left after speaking.

Liu Yunxiang is really puzzled, can this still be predicted?

Yan Du narrowed her eyes, "If they can really predict it, then this matter will be easy to figure out." ”

There was nothing to do that night, and the next morning the gold came back from outside, saying that the robbers had entered the city the night before, and had robbed an inn.

"Robbed an inn?" Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang stood up suddenly.

She looked at Yan Dui, and Yan Dusk was obviously very surprised.

"Yes, there is a team of merchants in the inn, and in order to save their lives, they took three thousand taels. The innkeeper couldn't get much silver, so he was hacked to death by the robber. ”

Liu Yunxiang grabbed Yan Dui's arm, and at this time, her mood could no longer be described as shock, but shock!

If some accidents were directed by the government in the past, then this time the robbers came, then they ...... Didn't they collude with the robbers?

Yan Dui held Liu Yunxiang's hand, equally shocked, but much calmer, "That old woman said that Liangshan County is a place to eat people, it seems that it is true." ”

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Maybe it's a coincidence?" ”

"Do you believe it?"

Liu Yunxiang closed his eyes, then shook his head, "How is it possible!" ”

Maybe it is, but listening to the meaning of Master Wan and that official, it is obviously not once or twice that they manipulate such things.

The next day, the government really came to inform them that they could go to the government to bid.

On the third day, they came to the mansion, and as soon as they passed, they were led to Master Nawan.

"Write fifteen thousand taels first, and if there is nothing higher than yours, then you will take the sign at this price." If so, I will change the number on the sign for you, and rest assured that it is only one hundred taels more. ”

Yan Du nodded, "But there is one thing, I don't understand, how do you know that the inn will be robbed by robbers, and the shopkeeper will be killed by them?" ”

When Master Wan heard this, his face sank, "If you want to get the brand, then don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

When they returned to the courtyard again, they quickly handed out a sign, and Yan Du wrote 15,000 taels on the sign. When the sign was handed over, Yan Duan and Liu Yunxiang both had a question.

"There's no need for the official to notify us in advance, wouldn't that be exposed?" Liu Yunxiang said.

The official told them in advance, and if something happened that night, anyone with a brain would think about how it could be so coincidental.

Yan Du was silent for a while, "Unless ......"

"What?"

"In the end, the bid will be very high, far exceeding our expectations."

Liu Yunxiang's face stiffened suddenly, if they put a nursery in these people and deliberately wrote a large number, and Master Wan said that the brand must be theirs, and it would only be one hundred taels more than this highest number, then wouldn't the final price be around them.

"We seem to have jumped into a trap they have set up." Liu Yunxiang frowned.

At this time, the official took out all the signs and began to lift them.
