Chapter 525: Completely Poor
Originally, he was not willing to help his father.
Just because he is a son of an official, the only one of the three noble families in Baofu County, and a good scholar, with a bright future, he deserves to be the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate.
But the Qin family's new dye business is so popular. This business alone has revitalized the entire Baofu County... There is an extra street of dyeing workshops in the county!
A street was created entirely because of the Qin family’s new dyes.
He couldn't even imagine that if he got this secret recipe and could do all this series of business by himself, from harvesting color grass to making color soup, dyeing cloth, opening a cloth shop, and opening a paint shop, how much profit would he make? How much silver?
It’s guaranteed to be a monthly income of 10,000 yuan!
So when his father asked him to join the scheme to seize the Qin family again, he happily agreed.
Besides money, what he was looking forward to was Qin Shu.
Last year when drug dealers caused trouble in the Qin family, Qin Shu went to the county town. Although he was picked up by Mrs. Guan at the gate of the city, his wait was in vain.
But when the Qin family left, he hid at the gate of the city. When he was about to stop for inspection when he was leaving the city, he saw Qin Shu and was shocked. Even though he smelled bad, his appearance was worth enduring. Taste it!
Besides, Dad said that he didn’t have to spend his whole life with Qin Shu, endure it for two years, and wear the Qin family to death. After he got the property, he could abandon Qin Shu.
At that time, he will be wealthy and young, so he can go to the capital to find a high-ranking lady as his wife.
"Shu Li Feng, are you dizzy again?" Youxing asked worriedly, and then said: "Your face is getting redder and redder. This may be a sign of bleeding in the head, which is very dangerous. Disease cannot be treated carelessly."
How dare you curse this young master.
Feng Yushi was angry in his heart, but was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he hurriedly said: "I'm fine, it's because the more I thought about it, the more angry I became about what the Wu family did, and I blushed with anger."
Guan Shu After hearing this, the official was still worried, so he had the honor to check Feng Yushi again. After making sure that everything was fine, he continued on his journey.
When we waited in town, it was already dawn.
People in the Wei Dynasty got up early, so when many people saw Wu Xingzu being taken to Si Lifang, they immediately felt no longer sleepy and ran to ask about the situation.
After learning the whole story, they were all stunned and extremely puzzled: "Wu Xingzu has a grudge against himself? Will he not stop until he tries to kill himself?"
"Seeing that I was about to go to Fucheng and start over, in the blink of an eye, I was tormented myself again... He wouldn't really have a relationship with the county government prison cell, right?"
"Still? He said that there was a female ghost in the prison, and he forced himself into the cell just to continue the relationship between human and ghost? "
" This is a bad fate, it can’t be continued!”
“I guess that Wu Xingzu would have been fascinated by the female ghost many times, otherwise no normal person could be like him. Kill yourself?"
"Oh, Cao Laoba, you are right, it must be like this!"
Rumors in the countryside have always been outrageous.
So when Wu Lao Er found out, what he heard was: "Your son is in love with a female ghost. In order to return to his new home in the prison cell, he went to the ghost village to set fire, and was successfully caught by Si Li Fang. Now your son can go back to the cell and be reunited with your daughter-in-law."
Someone who returned his father congratulated him: "I hope you will have a grandson soon!"
This is nothing. What? !
Wu Laoer has been busy moving graves these past few days and has slept less than a dog. At this moment, his mind was in a daze and he couldn't react for a while.
The elder of the Wu clan quickly came to help him wake up, using his cane to greet him.
Bang bang bang!
"Wu Lao'er, what kind of crazy bastard have you raised? Get out of my Wu village right now!" The elder of the Wu clan couldn't wait for a moment and called to the Wu family's children: "Go into the house to get things, fight. Go to Wu Lao'er and send him to Si Lifang to get out with his son. , get out today!”
“Wu Xingzong, get Wu Xingzong too, don’t leave any of his rats in our village!”
“It’s the village chief!” The Wu family members hurriedly He stepped forward and was about to rush into the house to pack his things, but was stopped in time by the clerk.
Guan Shuli: "Wu Xingzu said that someone sent him a letter and encouraged him to set a fire. We want to enter the house and search."
The Wu Wu clan's old man said: "Get out of the way and let Si Lifang go in and search." "Yes." The children of the Wu family stepped aside one after another.
Ke Guan Shuli led people to search the Wu family's house for a long time, but found nothing.
In the afternoon, people from the county government also arrived.
This time, it was Bantou Peng... the confidant promoted by Feng Xiancheng.
Peng Bantou had a sullen face and led a group of government officials to search the Wu family's house, but found nothing. He came to the conclusion: "I guess in order to shirk responsibility, I fabricated a mastermind and a letter." Come out.”
The big guy thinks so too.
In fact, apart from Wu Xingzu’s own words, there is no evidence pointing out that there is a second suspect.
Even the jar of pine oil was bought by Wu Lao'er's family for moving the tomb... The auspicious time for moving the tomb is usually in the middle of the night or at dawn, and the pine oil is needed as a torch for lighting.
However, in order to better convince the public, the next morning, Bantou Peng led people to search the house for a long time. After still finding nothing, at noon, he escorted Wu Xingzu back to the county government office.
But Wu Xingzu, Wu Xingzong, and Wu Laoer all had stains on their faces, and their legs were still limping.
Liang Zhi hit.
Huang Yanglong offered money to help him clear up his guilt.
One provided the strength to fight, and the other provided money to settle the matter. This not only helped the Qin family vent their anger, but also made them happy. If the relevant scribes hadn't been there to control them, the three of the Wu family would have been even worse.
"Get out now and don't come back again!" The people of Wujia Village shouted sincerely. They were really harmed by Wu Li's family.
The people of Taifeng Town also hate the Wu Lao'er family, and are still a little reluctant to part with them... Once the Wu Lao'er family leaves, whose family's gossip will they still read?
However, it is a good thing for everyone that the bad guy is gone.
......
Kang County Magistrate was so annoyed with Wu Li's family that Wu Xingzu was directly tortured after he was taken back.
After three consecutive days of fighting, Wu Xingzu admitted that it was all his idea and signed his signature.
But because he didn’t actually set the fire, it’s hard to let Wu Xingzu go to jail.
But Master Lu was a professional. He searched Wei Lv for a while and finally raised a flag and fined him a heavy amount of silver.
"Repeated violations of the law can lead to exile. Now it is only a fine of fifty taels of silver, which is already an extrajudicial favor from the Yamen. If your family is reluctant to give up money, then send it to Tianmang Mansion, which happens to be short of manpower. "Doing corvee work."
The pain of corvee work can kill people. His elder brother is a scholar, how can he endure this kind of suffering? !
But...
"Fifty taels is too much, can it be less?"
Bang, Master Lu slammed the table, pointed at the thick Wei law and said: "How can the laws of the country be tolerated? You bargain!"
Wu Laoer was so frightened that he almost fell down.
Master Lu stood up directly and said: "In that case, I will reply to the county magistrate and say that your family has chosen to serve the sentence of corvee."
"Pay the money, and my family will pay the fine!" Wu Laoer hurriedly grabbed Master Lu, crying and cutting his flesh, and took out ten small-denomination banknotes and collected fifty taels.
After paying the fine, his family spent only three taels of money on selling their house and land, and they completely changed from the arrogant family of the town to a poor man.
After Master Lu took the money, he quickly completed the procedures, and Wu Xingzu was released from prison that same day.
Peng Bantou rented a dilapidated oxcart for them. When he saw the three Wu family members coming out, he immediately said: "Get in the car quickly, and you will go back to Fucheng immediately."
