Coming out of the county guard's mansion, the two walked to the long street, and then looked at the prosperity of this Liangshan County, it was not the mood of the previous days.

It turns out that sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your own ears can be fake.

On the way back, when I passed an alley, I saw two officials pushing an old woman outside.

"When you leave home, I'm going to look for my grandson!"

"My son and daughter-in-law are dead, and I am a lonely old man, and you also want to bully?"

"Aren't you officials, don't you catch those bad guys, what are you staring at me?"

This old man was the old woman who was in their carriage that day, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Du hurriedly greeted them and asked what was going on.

"Her house has been repaid, she is reluctant to leave, the owner's family has reported to the official, and we can only invite her out." Yiguan said helplessly.

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly said to Liu Yunxiang and the others: "They want to lock me up in that big cell in Xicheng!" ”

"Cell?" Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, "Did this lady make a mistake, why did she put her in a cell?" ”

Another official said: "What is a prison cell, we in Liangshan County have built a place for the people who have no houses to live in, originally so that they can have a place to live. ”

"Just go in and don't think about coming out!" The old man said busily.

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense, be careful of causing trouble."

The old man was about to say, Liu Yunxiang shook his head at her, and stuffed a silver ingot into the hand of one of the officials, "We know this lady, can we take her home?" ”

The official shook the silver in his hand, discussed it with his companion again, and said, "Okay, you can take her home, but don't let her run around, and don't make trouble." ”

After saying that, the two officials left.

"They're just trying to lock me up!" Old man's airway.

Liu Yunxiang shushed at the old man, "You can go back with us first." ”

Back at the inn, the cook kept food for them, and Liu Yunxiang asked the old man to eat with them.

"You said you were looking for your grandson, is your grandson missing?"

At the mention of this, the old man sighed, "No, my son and daughter-in-law...... They sold the child! ”

"Huh? Sold? Liu Yunxiang was taken aback.

At the mention of this, the old man choked up.

"We had earned enough money and wanted to go back to Yangsan County to redeem our house, but we went to the village to pay it back, but we were told that the money was not enough. We only borrowed ten taels at the time, but now we have to repay two hundred taels, and the interest can eat people. ”

"If we can't redeem the house, we have no choice but to admit it, but they said that the house is not worth two hundred taels at all, and they have to pay us another hundred taels, and if we don't pay it back, we will break my son's hands and feet."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What is the reason, the house has been given to them, and the debt owed has been offset soon?" ”

"They say they only recognize money. If you don't pay back, the interest rate will increase every day. The old woman wiped her tears, "That prosperous money village has raised a group of thugs, all of them are vicious, and they will beat my son when they tie them up." They really dared to beat people to death, and we couldn't afford to take another hundred taels. ”

"Since then, we really don't dare to stay in Liangshan County for longer, so we went back to the inn to clean up and thought about leaving quickly. It's just that my grandson went to the street to play, and my son went to look for it, but he was pushed to the casino, and he later said that he was in a daze, and he didn't know what happened in the middle, and he had lost hundreds of taels when he woke up. ”

Liu Yunxiang was shocked when he heard this, "And this is the case?" ”

"Yes, and he encountered it more than once, and the time we borrowed money was because he was pushed into the casino, and he owed a lot of debts in a daze, took out all his family savings, sold his land, and finally went to Xingsheng Qian Zhuang to borrow money. We met the same thing twice, but my son has always been honest and doesn't know how to gamble, let alone mess with it. ”

Yan Dusk's eyes sank, "Xu was drugged." ”

"Hey, I owe so much money this time, the gambling house wants money, and if you don't have money, you will die. They gave me a way to sell my grandson for money. My son and daughter-in-law were willing to do it, but they broke my son's leg and forced my daughter-in-law to agree. The two were frightened, but they really agreed. Those people took my grandson, and I didn't know what was going on, forcing my son and daughter-in-law to get the child back. The two of them went out in despair, and jumped into the river after a while. ”

The old man cried silently, "We shouldn't have come back!" This Yangsan County is a place to eat people! Eat people without spitting out bones! ”

After listening to the old man, Liu Yunxiang actually felt a chill down his spine, this place was too terrifying, too dark, and they had already touched it.

After dinner, Liu Yunxiang wrote a letter to Jiang Yuan, asking him to take this letter and hurry out of the city to Jin'an, even if she wants to clean up Liangshan County, she must have people in her hands.

At night, Liu Yunxiang was not at ease and asked his son to sleep with them.

"It seems that we can only pay 61,000 taels of silver first." Liu Yunxiang said helplessly.

She can reveal her identity, but this identity may not be able to scare the county guard, and may even cause death.

Yan Duan hugged Liu Yunxiang, lowered his head and kissed him, "We can take another look, the water in here will only be deeper and dirtier." ”

"We haven't seen it all yet?"

"I'm not afraid of less than one-tenth, after all, it will give the cold rain a headache."

When I woke up the next morning, the cook came back from shopping for groceries, saying that there were two officials wandering in the alley, and I didn't know what was wrong.

Yan Du whispered to Liu Yunxiang: "Spy on us." ”

"If you want me to take the money, I am not willing."

"It's over, let's go directly to Jin'an to get Leng Yuhail back."

"Sixty thousand taels is not enough, he has to give us hard money."

The two laughed a few words, and saw the old lady come out of the house and hurried out.

"Auntie, where are you going?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Yesterday, one of those two officials was the son of the old Chen family in our alley, and he avoided the other official and secretly told me that the people of Liangshan County went to the capital to sue the emperor two months ago. The imperial court attached great importance to it and sent a messenger to investigate, and entered the city today. He told me to go to the shelter and wait for news, and I wanted to intercept Naqincha today, inform our family of our grievances, and ask him to call the shots. ”

The eldest lady said in a hurry, and without waiting for Liu Yunxiang to react, she ran out.

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled for a while, "Since the imperial court has sent Qin to send it, what else does Leng Yuhai let us do?" ”

Yan Du thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see what kind of medicine is sold in Leng Yuhail's gourd." ”

Yan Du pulled Liu Yunxiang outside, "Let's go to the street to see this Qincha and see how he decides the unjust case of the old woman's family." ”

When the two came to the street, sure enough, many people were talking about the fact that the imperial court had sent a messenger to investigate, and said that an old woman had stopped the messenger who had just entered the city and told her grievances on the street.

The two were about to pass over when an official stopped them. This official is none other than the one next to Master Wan.

"If you can't sue the county guard, do you still have to sue the Qincha?"
