The Xu family is quite wealthy in the local area, and the family's business has been good over the years, so they can afford to live in a big mansion and send Xu Changzhi to study.

Of course, the situation of Mu Qing's family is not much worse.

The Mu family runs a food shop, although the food is sold cheaply, but the reputation in Yuezhou Wharf is very good, and it has also saved a lot of money over the years.

The relationship between the two families has always been good, and they are also known for their sincerity in doing business.

Therefore, the reputation of the two families in Yuezhou has always been very good, and the people nearby also have good intentions towards them.

The tragedy of the Mu family was very big at the beginning, and many people saw that Mu's father rolled a nail board in the government in order to file a complaint, and finally died.

They searched everywhere before, and in the end they only found her body, which was also seen by everyone.

Even if the people in the back government came forward to shut them up, it would be a pity for no one to say that the Mu family in private.

The stall of the noodle cooking brother is so close to the Xu family, so he naturally knows everything about these two families.

Now that the father and son of the Xu family have been locked up for almost a month, he is naturally anxious. Now that he saw someone asking about the Xu family, even though he knew in his heart that these things should not be said to the outside world, he still couldn't help it, and talked to Su Hengyu about the tragedy of the Xu family and the Mu family.

After listening to the words of the little brother who cooked noodles, the expressions of Su Hengyu and the others were not very good.

Meng Changhe and the others were already so careless in acting in Yuezhou, even if the people in the city knew what happened to the Mu and Xu families, none of them thought of resisting.

It can be seen from this how deeply the Meng family controlled Yuezhou.

Seeing that it was not too early to eat, they went back to the inn after eating.

In the inn, Li Wei was thinking about how to defeat the group of officials under Meng Changhe.

Although Meng Changhe has been imprisoned, the news has not spread from the capital to Yuezhou. Now Yuezhou is still under the control of Meng Changhe's people, and Li Wei and others have quietly infiltrated Yuezhou, if they know their identities, it is possible that the group of people will kill them directly.

Li Wei wanted to get more evidence from these officials to prove that Meng Changhe was corrupt and perverted the law, and he also wanted to keep a few people to testify.

He still needs to consider one or two things about the choice of witnesses.

After Su Hengyu and his party came back, she directly told Li Wei what she had investigated.

"The father and son of the Xu family have been locked up in the prison of the government for a long time now, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on." Su Hengyu wanted to save these two people, after all, they were people who were familiar with Mu Qing, and they were innocently implicated.

Su Hengyu didn't want people to bury their lives innocently, especially when Meng Changhe had already been arrested.

Li Wei's attitude was the same, he pinched his beard and muttered for a moment before saying, "I have found a few officials who can be used as an entry point, but I am afraid that it will not work to release them now, but it is okay to let them live a little better inside." ”

After getting Li Wei's answer, Su Hengyu relieved himself to let the other party take people out to act.

When Li Wei returned to the inn, he said to Su Hengyu: "Okay, you can take someone to the yamen now to have a look and meet the father and son of the Xu family." ”

He said this bluntly, and Su Hengyu immediately went to action without asking too much.

People say that Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.

Although Li Wei has already taken care of the magistrate here, the officials below still need Su Hengyu to take care of it.

She acted very carefully, under the pretext that she was a distant relative of the Xu family, and this time she came to Yuezhou to do business, so she wanted to visit this relative who was quite famous in the local area.

Unexpectedly, he learned about the misfortune of their family, so he wanted to come and meet someone.

Because the magistrate has obviously relaxed a lot towards the Xu family father and son in the past few days, these officials have nothing to fish for on weekdays, and finally someone took the initiative to send the silver, of course they have no reason to refuse.

The man who took the silver checked the purse in his hand, felt the weight of the silver inside, and then said: "It's okay to let you in and meet people, but those two are repeat offenders, you only have time for a stick of incense, if you have anything to say, if you break the rules, don't blame us for being polite!" ”

Su Hengyu nodded again and again.

The county government in Yuezhou has not been repaired for a long time, and the cells are cold and damp, and rats jump past their feet from time to time.

These rats don't know what they grew up eating, but they are big, fat, and not afraid of people at all.

Su Hengyu couldn't help frowning when he looked at it, if he let the rats here bite him, he didn't know if he would get any diseases.

I hope the luck of the Xu family and his son will be better.

By the time she met the Xu family's father and son, the two were drowsy due to lack of food.

The official just wanted to step forward to wake people up, but was stopped by Su Hengyu: "Don't bother this big brother, I can wake up my cousin myself." ”

She stuffed a purse into someone's hand, saying that she wanted to say a few words alone with the Xu family's father and son, and begged the other party to be accommodating.

The official didn't think too much about it, anyway, the magistrate didn't pay much attention to the two people of the Xu family now.

I guess it's just trapping people in prison and waiting to die.

He took the purse neatly, and told Su Hengyu a few more words before leaving.

While the two were talking, Xu Changzhi had already heard the movement and woke up suddenly.

In the past month, the people of the county government have to interrogate their father and son from time to time, which provokes Xu Changzhi to wake up as soon as he hears the slightest movement.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he happened to meet Su Hengyu's face.

Xu Changzhi was slightly stunned, then became more and more nervous, and subconsciously protected his father behind him: "Who are you, and the dog official sent us to interrogate us?" I'm telling you, don't try to get any news from Brother Mu from us, we won't tell you a word! ”

Su Hengyu made a silent gesture to him, looked around again, and after making sure that no official would suddenly appear, he took out the pendant in his sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, I am not from Yuezhou, but I was asked by one person to come here from the capital." Su Hengyu whispered.

Just when Xu Changzhi shouted excitedly, his father Xu Zhiwen was woken up.

When the father and son saw this pendant, they couldn't help but get excited.

This pendant was made by the Xu family and the Mu family for the children together, and it was also engraved with the zodiac signs of their respective children, and the patterns were selected by the adults of the two families together, so Xu Zhiwen naturally would not admit his mistake.

After listening to Su Hengyu's words, they immediately reacted, Mu Qing must have gone to the capital, and found a senior official to help!

Now their situation is unbearable, the two have been hungry for so long, and they have been tortured, and they feel that they can't hold on for long.

finally waited for a person who came to help, and the other party was still holding Mu Qing's pendant. They didn't think much about it, and immediately said: "This son, our father and son don't know where you come from, but now we can only believe in you." There is something buried under the big laurel tree in the courtyard to the east of my house, and I ask you to take it away so that no one else will find out! ”

Xu Zhiwen stared at Su Hengyu with a pair of burning eyes, and finished his words with great seriousness.
