Chapter 36 Fraudulent Receipt of Rewards
Twenty taels of silver is a lot of money in the Shen family, enough for the family to eat and drink for a few years.
Although Su Miaomiao was very moved by the twenty taels of silver, she cherished the life of her family even more.
This matter involves a wide range of things, and just relying on the sesame official of the government, he definitely does not have the ability to get so much iron.
In Su Miaomiao's view, this is not a reward, but to lure out the person who sent the letter, and it is really unlucky to go out and receive the money.
Su's father also knew about this, so he saw the notice in the village and said it at home.
The current time at home is not the time when food is tight before, so the twenty taels of silver are not too precious.
I don't know who sent the letter, and there is a lot of discussion in the village, and there are people looking at the notice every day, wishing that person could be themselves.
The temptation of twenty taels is not small, but no one dares to do anything about taking the reward
"Who the hell is this snitch? These twenty taels of silver are a lot, so why don't you take them? Aunt Yang and several women were standing under the tree at the moment, discussing who the messenger was.
"Hey, this notice is posted, people go to see it every day, but no one goes to get the silver, if it weren't for my timidity, I would just go and claim it, there is money on the left and right, how can I not get along with the silver."
"I'll just wait, and when no one really gets it, then I'll get it." It was an old bachelor in the village who spoke, and when the poor family went to the fields to dig wild vegetables almost every day, and when there was really nothing to eat, he was even so hungry that he didn't eat.
If you take twenty taels of silver, how can you eat a full stomach for a few years?
Liang Sheng was lying on the bed, and at home he heard the conversation between Liang and Liu, and asked, "You said that no one has taken that reward yet?" ”
"Yes, I don't know who told the Taishou Mansion, now that the official and the master have been locked up, there should be no chance to come out, this privately casting weapons, that is a big crime, I heard that there is still collusion with more powerful people, so there is no doubt about death."
Liang told Liang Sheng everything he had heard, all as if it was to pass the time.
Speaking of those rewards, he couldn't help but sigh, and said, "If I were that person, I would have gone to receive the reward early, and it was twenty taels of silver." ”
With those twenty taels of silver, she didn't have to eat cabbage here every day, and she was about to vomit when she ate it.
In the past, I could still pass the time by eating melon seeds, but now I only have water from the well to drink, and I don't even have anything to sacrifice my teeth.
Originally, she thought that she could live a good life with Liang Sheng, so she came, otherwise, it was better to stay in the dead ghost's house for the time being.
Although Liang Sheng's injuries have improved a lot, he is unwilling to go out to see people at the moment.
On the day he was beaten and carried home, how many people in the village saw it in their eyes and were afraid that they would laugh at him in their hearts, so he refused to go out.
Thinking of this, he thought of Su Miaomiao, the "culprit".
Although the Su family said that they farmed and hunted, twenty taels of silver was not a small amount, and they would have to provide Su Jinghe with education in the future, and there would be a lot of land to spend money. ”
"If it was Su Miao, they would take this money no matter what, and they would not take it now, I'm afraid it's really not her."
And the reward, within a month, someone still went to receive it.
Although the person who changed money did not show up on the surface, the single man who had spoken before began to bring good furniture into the house.
Even the home has been slightly renovated.
The people who lived next to his house saw it, and then thought of the reward, and they were sure that the person who took the reward was this bachelor.
"I didn't expect what you said to be true, and I really went to get this reward."
"What kind of fraudulent reward? I picked up the money. The bachelor looked at his neighbors on the left and right vigilantly, for fear that others would hit his attention.
Su Miaomiao heard that someone in the village had already taken the bounty, and she didn't show any expression.
The Su family went to work in the fields as usual.
When chatting in the fields, it also becomes envious of the singles.
Su Miaomiao has only done a little work for half a day, and she has already heard no less than ten people, saying that she envies the bachelor who took the reward, because he got twenty taels of silver for nothing.
"If I had known, I would have gotten the money for nothing, and I would have gone, and the money would have been mine, I regret it!"
When Su Miao heard this, she just smiled softly.
It's only twenty taels of silver left and right, but are these twenty taels of silver really so good?
But the life of the singles is getting better and better, and the more jealous the people in the village become, and the more they hate the singles.
Winter came quietly, and gradually the snow came.
There was snow in the sky, and every house was closed, only to feel that it was too cold.
But Su's house is very warm, and there is still leisure to enjoy the snow.
Su Miaomiao set up a charcoal fire at home early, which was warm enough to survive this winter.
The family gathered around and simply roasted the prey over a charcoal fire, which tasted fragrant and warm, and could also watch the snow.
When it was time to eat fragrantly, there was a knock on the door outside, accompanied by the voice of the second uncle of the Qiao family.
He shouted outside, his voice anxious, "Su Feng, something happened in the village, the village chief told us all to go, I have something to ask." ”
Su Feng opened the door, looked at Second Uncle Qiao's anxious look, and asked, "Go with the whole family, or?" ”
Second Uncle Qiao smelled the aroma in the room, couldn't help but take a breath of the aroma, and said, "Just go with a few men in your family, and Jinghe will also go over together." ”
Su Feng didn't know what was going on, but Second Uncle Qiao said it, and he greeted the two of them.
"Jinghe, Huaizhi, the two of you will go to the village chief with me."
Xie Huaizhi got up, and Su Jinghe and the two followed behind Su Feng.
Su Miaomiao didn't know what was going on, Zhang hugged Su Zisheng, looked at the backs of the few people who left worriedly, and said worriedly: "There won't be anything, right?" ”
"Mother, don't worry, what can happen? It's okay. Su Miao comforted her mother, and wondered what it would be, why the man in the family had to go over.
When her father came back, she couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, what's wrong?" Why does the village chief have to ask you to go? ”
Su Feng frowned, his face was serious, and he instructed, "Jinghe, lock the door." ”
After locking the door, Su Fengcai said with a solemn face: "A few days ago, Yang Laohan, who pretended to receive a reward, was found dead at home. ”
"Probably...... How long has it been? Su Miao asked.
is so dignified, just died, Su Miaomiao already had some guesses in her heart.
Xie Huaiyi roasted the rabbit meat in his hand, and said without any mustard: "It is said that it has been seven or eight days, and the corpse stinks, although the weather is cold now, but after a long time, the smell is still big, and it was only smelled by his neighbor this morning, and when he entered his house, he found that the person was dead." ”
