Chapter 57 057. Bring Back the 500 Taels (Part [-])

Mu Biao asked people to collect the six bones dug up from Wu's house and put them in coffins.

Judging the chronological sequence of burials based on the willow tree, combined with the missing time of the girl recorded by the county government, they sent someone to send the coffin back to each family, and gave a pension and burial expenses.

It is worth mentioning that the one who was rescued in the secret room was not the last girl who fell into Wu Huaian's hands before Su Liang was arrested, but Liu Xiaoyue from Liujia Village who disappeared last year.

She was also the one who lived the longest in Wu Huaian's hands, and the two girls who were caught behind her all died.

And the earliest skeleton was Wu Huaian's former fiancée, Miss Mei, who was temporarily placed in the county government office, and the Mei family in the capital had been notified to send someone to pick it up.

Mu Bian has always been very concerned about matters of face, and he has done it very thoughtfully.

Liu Xiaoyue, who was rescued, was picked up by her family that day.

This day Mu Bian was about to interrogate Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an again, when Chang'an reported that Liu Xiaoyue's elder brother came to the county government office and asked why other girls were paid for anything, but his sister didn't?
Chang'an felt a little indignant, "He actually said that his sister is sick, and she doesn't seem to live long, and the pension and funeral expenses have to be the same as other families! I don't think the girl will survive no matter whether the money is paid or not!"

Mu Di originally wanted Chang'an to give him some money to send her away. If something like this happened, Liu Xiaoyue's life would be ruined. Although he sympathized, he didn't care too much.

But when the words came to his lips, Mu Wei suddenly changed his mind, "You go to Sujia Village and ask Su Liang to treat that Miss Liu. I said this is what the government should do, but there is no female doctor, it is inconvenient, so I can only trouble her , the government pays for the consultation gold and medicine.”

"Yes." Chang An replied, "The five thousand two hundred taels of silver..."

Mu Bian didn't react for a moment, "What?"

"The money I owe Miss Su, if I go to her again, I have to pay, otherwise she will definitely ignore me. Last time I was not allowed to enter the door, this time I am afraid the door will not be opened." Chang An said weakly.

Mu Bing patted the table, "Here! I must have owed her a mountain of gold in my previous life! Come to Bei'an County, and it will soon be searched!"

Chang'an paid the money and sent Liu Xiaoyue's elder brother back, saying that the county government would send someone to his house soon.

The man thought that someone would send the money to his home, so he left happily.

……

Su Liang was concentrating on reading medical books, and ignored the knock on the door.

Ning Ping went to open the door, and Chang An handed over the silver ticket before expressing his intention to come.

Su Liang learned that she was asked to treat the only rescued Liu Xiaoyue, so he put down his book, changed his clothes, took the medicine box and came out.

Seeing this, Chang An smiled and cupped his hands, "Master said, Miss Su is kind-hearted, she will definitely not refuse."

Ning Jing took Su Liang's medicine box, so she was going to go with her.

When leaving Sujia Village, Su Liang asked Chang'an what Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an had explained.

Changan became angry when he mentioned it, "There is irrefutable evidence that so many girls have been harmed. They all refused to admit it. They insisted that someone planted and framed them. They didn't know about the people in the secret room and the bones under the willow tree. It's shameless to the extreme. Miss Mei in Beijing had an accident, who else could have done it besides Wu Huai'an? Not only Miss Su is a witness, but also Liu Xiaoyue, they are all alive, so dare to deny it! Let alone the iron ore smuggling! "

"Is there anyone in the Wu family in the capital?" Su Liang asked.As long as Wu Yun and Wu Huaian plead not guilty, there is still hope of "turning black and white".

Chang An nodded, "Yes! Wu Yun has two sons, both of whom are in the capital!"

"Unless he finds evidence of iron ore smuggling, he will not admit it. Once it is confirmed, it will be the fate of the Zhu Jiu clan." Su Liang said.

"I wonder if Miss Su and Young Master Ning have a good plan to pry their mouths open? The master is worrying about this matter!" Chang An said.

"We don't understand this." Su Liang said.

Chang'an thought to himself, if Ning Jing took the imperial examination, he would naturally want to stand out, but this time, with such a great contribution, as long as Mu Yang reported it to the court, Ning Jing would have the opportunity to become an official without taking the imperial examination, but he refused to admit it, I really don't understand .

When the carriage entered Liujia Village, Su Liang lifted the curtain to look out.

A group of children ran behind the carriage. A short and sturdy man led a little boy and carried a load. He was welcomed in by a family. She saw a slender figure inside the door, who looked a bit like Liu Huilan.

The carriage stopped, and before Su Liang got out, he heard a sharp shout, "My poor girl! What will you do with the rest of your life?"

Su Liang thought of Mrs. Niu.The carriage moved slowly. If the woman had been crying so loudly before, it would be impossible not to hear it. It was clear that she saw someone coming and started to sell miserably.

Su Liang and Ning Jing got out of the car, and a group of people surrounded them, a dozen of them, old and young, some laughed with them, some cried aloud, and some seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Chang An said loudly, "Master Mu learned that Ms. Liu was ill, and specially invited a female doctor from Sujia Village to treat her. Where is Ms. Liu?"

In an instant, the eagerness on the family's face was like a charcoal fire being doused by cold water, and only the shallow disappointment dissipated like white smoke.

"I can't even uncover the pot, how can I have the money to treat her illness!" A sharp-eyed young woman squinted her eyes and said, "The little girl disappeared back then, so we returned all the betrothal gifts from others. I can't even eat it!"

Su Liang watched coldly, there were three or four young and middle-aged men in this family, but they could only live by Liu Xiaoyue's dowry. Liu Xiaoyue's disappearance resulted in the return of the dowry, as if Liu Xiaoyue was sorry for them.

Su Liang couldn't help but think of Su Daqiang's family.

"What do you know? Lord Mu is a bodhisattva with a heart. If you treat your sister first, the money will definitely be ours!" Liu Dawei, who went to the county government to beg for money, had a smile on his face, and observed Chang'an's expression while talking.

Chang An was disgusted in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, and asked again, "Where is Miss Liu?"

After entering Liu's house, it was shabby everywhere. Liu Dawei led them to the backyard, "There are too many people in the family, and I really can't live there, so let my sister live in the backyard for a few days."

Seeing Liu Xiaoyue's appearance, Su Liang's blood pressure soared.

The backyard shack where the original owner lived in Su Daqiang's house was made of wooden planks. Although the wind leaks in winter, it is still a whole place.And because Su Daqiang's family has no worries about food and clothing for a long time, they are lazy and have never raised livestock, so they are very clean.

But the backyard of Liu’s family raised pigs and chickens, and they were so dirty that they couldn’t get their feet on them. Liu Xiaoyue was put in a narrow corner under the firewood shed, curled up in a ball, and she couldn’t find it unless she looked carefully.

Seeing Chang'an's face darkened, Liu Dawei sighed, "People outside say that girls will bring back bad luck, but I thought it was my own sister, so I can't let her live or die. Is that still human?"

It sounds like he thinks he is a good brother.

But with Liu Xiaoyue like this, no one cares about her life.The so-called relatives took her home to have a reason to ask the government for money.

Although Su Liang knew that there would be rumors and gossips about what happened to Liu Xiaoyue, and she was in a difficult situation, but when she saw her closest family members put her in the woodpile and let her fend for herself, they licked their faces and wanted to take advantage of her. Unfortunately, I made another fortune, but I still feel angry.

During those dark days, this poor girl was probably looking forward to her parents and brothers to rescue her from the sea of ​​suffering, but once she was saved, what awaited her was even more terrifying despair.

As Su Liang approached, Liu Xiaoyue trembled all over, buried her head so hard that she could hear her teeth chattering.

The surrounding environment was so bad that Liu Xiaoyue couldn't calm down for a while, so Su Liang turned to look at Chang'an.

Chang An hurried over, "What is Miss Su's order?"

Su Liang whispered, "I want to take her away."

Chang An was surprised, "Miss Su means to buy her?"

Su Liang didn't mean that, but he didn't care about it so much at the moment, "It's sort of."

"Miss Su is so kind. She will be your servant girl, it will be a hundred times better than staying here." Chang An said seriously, "I will handle this matter."

He turned around and called Liu Dawei to the side to talk.

"What? Let me sell the girl to you?"

"That's my own sister! She's the prettiest girl in our village! Back then, member Huang hired her as a concubine and gave her 50 taels of silver!"

Changan suppressed his anger and asked, "How much do you want?"

Liu Dawei said he wanted to discuss it with his family, so he ran away.

Su Liang squatted beside Liu Xiaoyue, talking to her in a low voice, "My name is Su Liang, I'm from Sujia Village. There is an aunt named Liu in my neighbor's house. Her girlfriend's name is Liu Cuizhi. Do you know her? I don't know your experience. What, but it's not your fault. If you want, I will take you out of here first, and after you recover your body, you can live in another place."

Liu Xiaoyue didn't look up, but sobbed and cried.

Su Liang also felt sad in his heart.She thought that the original owner had been locked up at home and never went out. Probably Wu Yun and Wu Huaian didn't know that there was such a girl in Sujia Village, so they escaped unharmed, otherwise they would probably have been killed by them.

The Liu family thought together that Liu Xiaoyue would not be able to get married anyway if she kept her, and she would not be able to get any money in return. In the end, she could only make money this time, so they simply opened their mouths and asked Chang'an for 500 taels of silver.

"That's my own sister! I'm the only one, and the whole family loves her the most! I gave her everything delicious since I was a child, and never asked her to do any work!"

"If your lord thinks it's too much, forget it! Don't sell it! Even if she dies, she's still a member of my family!"

Chang An gritted his teeth, not wanting to entangle with this rascal any longer, so he nodded, "Okay, just 500 taels!"

Liu Dawei saw that Chang'an agreed without haggling, but his face was a bit annoyed, and he felt that it would be less.

Chang An didn't bring that much money with him, so he looked at Ning Jing.He had seen Ping An put more than 5000 taels of silver bills into Su Liang's medicine box.

Ning Ping didn't say a word, and took out 500 taels of bank notes and gave them to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning. I will report it to your lord and return it to Mr. Ning." Chang An said.

Hearing this, Liu Dawei widened his eyes, stretched his neck and asked, "Master Mu wants to buy my sister? It's her good fortune that Master Mu has taken a fancy to her. You will have a better life in the future!"

Chang An's forehead twitched, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about? Miss Su wants to buy your sister back to be a maid! It has nothing to do with my master!"

Liu Dawei shrank his neck, "You said, the money was paid by Mr. Mu..."

"Who cares who paid for it? I don't want to take it!" Chang An shouted angrily, resisting the urge to hit someone.

Always going to Sujia Village, Chang An felt that the assertion that "troublemakers come from poor mountains and evil waters" was not credible, but after meeting this family, he realized that he was too naive before.

Su Liang talked to Liu Xiaoyue for a while, and gently held her hand.She shuddered and struggled.

Su Liang asked Ning Jing to bring the medicine box, took out the golden needle, and gave Liu Xiaoyue a few needles, and she fell into a coma.

"What did you do to my sister?" Liu Dawei shouted at the top of his voice.

Su Liang put away the golden needle, frowned and looked at Chang An, "Where's the deed of sale?"

Chang An slapped his forehead, and felt that he was completely confused. If he didn't have a contract of sale, with the temperament of this family, he would definitely deny it tomorrow.

Chang An borrowed a pen and paper from Su Liang, wrote the deed of sale, asked Liu Xiaoyue and her parents and elder brother to put their fingerprints on it, and handed it over to Su Liang.

Su Liang carried Liu Xiaoyue out of Liu's house, surrounded by many villagers watching.

Liu Dawei leaned forward again, "My sister will live in Sujia Village from then on? It's so close, we'll visit her in two days!"

Chang'an couldn't bear it anymore, kicked Liu Dawei to the ground, and said coldly, "This is the maid bought by the county magistrate and given to Dr. Su. You received 500 taels, if you dare to pester her, you will be arrested!"

When the people around heard it, they gasped!Unexpectedly, the Liu family sold Liu Xiaoyue so quickly!I didn't expect Liu Xiaoyue to be like this, but someone would buy it!I didn't even expect to be able to sell 500 taels!

Chang'an drove away, the Liu family got a huge sum of money, their faces couldn't hide their joy, they opened their mouths and said it was for the good of Liu Xiaoyue and sent her to live a good life.There is no lack of envy and jealousy among the spectators.

On the way back, Ping Jing didn't get into the carriage, and sat beside Chang An.

Su Liang gave Liu Xiaoyue the pulse, there was not much physical problem, the main reason was that he was mentally stimulated, but when Su Liang unbuttoned Liu Xiaoyue's clothes and saw the large and small scars on her body, he guessed what Wu Huai'an had done to her , couldn't help but swear, "That pervert!"

Chang An immediately asked, "What did Miss Su say?"

Ning Jing said calmly, "He is praising your master."

Chang An asked with a smile, "What are you boasting about? I didn't hear clearly just now, I have to tell the master when I go back."

"Praise him for being generous." Ning Jing said.

Chang'an looks at the sky speechlessly, isn't it generous?Being blackmailed every day.

Back in Sujia Village, Chang'an said that when Liu Xiaoyue was able to speak, he would inform the county government that he would record a testimony for her.

After Chang'an left, Su Liang asked Ning Jing to go to Bai's house and invite Liu Shi over.

Mrs. Liu is Liu Xiaoyue's older sister, she immediately shed tears when she saw her like this.Hearing that Su Liang asked her to help take care of it, he quickly agreed.

Firstly, Su Liang was too busy to take care of her, and secondly, Liu Xiaoyue was stimulated, so it would be better to have someone she trusts by her side.

Su Liang heard from Mrs. Liu that before she got married, Liu Xiaoyue was still a little girl, she was often beaten and scolded by her family, and she did heavy work without giving her food.Liu's family's conditions are good, at least they can eat enough, and she will secretly save her own rations and distribute them to Liu Xiaoyue.

Aunt Bai also came, and after listening to Su Liang tell the whole story, she angrily scolded that family was not a human being, and reminded Su Liang to be careful of that family in the future.

Su Liang is not worried.She just wanted to save Liu Xiaoyue, otherwise she would die soon.

As for where Liu Xiaoyue will go and what to do in the future, Su Liang intends to let her decide by herself after she returns to normal.Even if you want to commit suicide, it is a relief.But from the looks of it, this girl is very strong and has no suicidal thoughts, otherwise she would have died long ago.

Su Liang is very busy, but she doesn't need a maid to serve her.Besides, both she and Tranquility have secrets, and it's not suitable for her to get too close to other people.

In addition, Su Liang was curious about Liu Xiaoyue, he didn't know why she was able to be the last one alive, presumably there must be some reason.

As the sun went down, Su Liang was cooking, and Ning Jing said that he would go out for a while.

"Where are you going?" Su Liang asked casually.

Ning Jing said and walked out, "Bring back the 500 taels."

The corners of Su Liang's lips curled slightly, "Okay. If you don't go, I originally planned to go tonight."
