Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 938 Under the Prosperity
After coming out of the Sheriff's Mansion, the two of them walked to the long street. Looking at the prosperity of Liangshan County, they were not in the mood they had been in the past few days.

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

On the way back, when passing through an alley, I saw two officials pushing an old woman out.

"You leave home, and I'm still looking for my grandson!"

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

"Aren't you official officers? If you don't catch those bad guys, why are you staring at me?"

This old man was the old woman who was riding in their carriage that day. Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu hurriedly greeted her and asked what was going on.

"Her house has been paid off, but she refuses to leave. The owner has reported it to the police, so we can only ask her to come out." Yi Guancha said with some helplessness.

Hearing this, the old man rushed to Liu Yunxiang and said: "They are going to put me in that big cell in Xicheng!"

"Cell?" Liu Yunxiang was puzzled, "Did this lady make a mistake? Why was she put in a cell?"

Another official said: "That's a prison cell. We in Liangshan County have built a place to accommodate people who have no houses to live in. This is to give them a place to live."

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

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

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

The official shook the money in his hand, discussed it with his companions, and said, "Okay, you can take her home, but don't let her run around and don't cause trouble."

After saying that, the two officials left.

"They just want to lock me up!" the old man said angrily.

Liu Yunxiang hissed at the old man, "Please go back with us first."

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

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

When he mentioned this, the old man sighed, "No, my son and daughter-in-law... they sold the child!"

"Ah? Sold?" Liu Yunxiang was surprised.

The old man choked up when he mentioned this.

"We had earned enough money and wanted to go back to Yangshan County to redeem our house, but when we went to Xingsheng Bank to pay back the money, we were told that the money was not enough. We only borrowed ten taels at the time, but now we have to pay back 200 taels. Interest can eat people up."

"We couldn't redeem the house, so we had no choice but to accept it. But they said that the house was not worth 200 taels at all, and they wanted us to pay back 100 taels. If we didn't pay back, they would break my son's hands and feet."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "What's the point? The house has been given to them and the debt has been offset soon?"

"They said they only recognize money. If you don't pay back the money, the interest will increase every day." The old woman wiped her tears. "The Xingsheng Bank has a group of thugs, all of them are vicious. They tie up my son and beat him. They are If you really dare to beat someone to death, we can’t help but take another 100 taels.”

"From then on, we really didn't dare to stay in Liangshan County any longer. We went back to the inn to clean up and then wanted to leave quickly. But my grandson ran out to the street for fun. My son went to look for him, but he was pushed to the side. At the casino, he later said that he was in a daze and didn’t know what happened in the middle. When he woke up, he had lost hundreds of taels.”

Liu Yunxiang was shocked when he heard this, "Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, and he met him more than once. The time we borrowed money was because he was pushed into the casino. He owed a lot of debt in a daze. He took out all his family savings and sold the land. In the end, he was still ten taels short of going. He borrowed money from Xingsheng Bank. The same thing happened to us twice, but my son has always been honest and doesn't know how to gamble, let alone do it." Yan Mu looked deeply, "Maybe he was drugged. "

"Hey, I owe so much money now. Gambling shops want money, and if you don't have money, you will die. They gave me a way, which is to sell my grandson for money. My son and daughter-in-law are not willing to give it up, but they stopped it when they tried. They took my son's leg and forced my daughter-in-law to agree. They were frightened and they agreed. Those people took my grandson away. I didn't know what happened, but they forced my son and daughter-in-law to find the child. [-]. People went out in despair, and soon jumped into the river."

The old man burst into tears, "We shouldn't have come back! This Liangshan County is a place that eats people! It eats people without spitting out their bones!"

After listening to what the old man said, Liu Yunxiang felt a chill down his spine. This place was too scary and dark, and they had already touched it.

After dinner, Liu Yunxiang wrote a letter to Jiang Yuan, asking him to take the letter and quickly leave the city for Jin'an. Even if she wanted to clean up Liangshan County, she would have to have people on hand.

At night, Liu Yunxiang was worried and asked his son to sleep with them.

"It seems that we can only pay 100 taels of silver first." Liu Yunxiang said somewhat helplessly.

She can reveal her identity, but this identity may not scare the governor of Naguan, and may even lead to death.

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang, lowered his head and kissed her, "We can take another look, the water inside will only be deeper and dirtier."

"We haven't seen it through yet?"

"Don't worry, it's not as good as one-tenth. After all, it gives Leng Yuxie a headache."

When she woke up early the next morning, the cook came back from shopping for vegetables and said that two official servants were wandering in the alley, and she didn't know what had happened.

Yan Mu whispered to Liu Yunxiang, "They are monitoring us."

"I won't be willing to take the money."

"This matter is over, let's go directly to Jin'an and ask Leng Yuxie to get it back."

"The 6 taels will not be enough by then. He will have to pay us hard work."

The two joked for a while, then saw the old lady coming out of the house and walking out in a hurry.

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

"One of the two officials yesterday was the son of the old Chen family in our alley. He avoided the other official and secretly told me that two months ago, people from Liangshan County went to the capital to file a complaint. The court was very worried. He took it seriously and sent an imperial envoy down to investigate and enter the city today. He asked me to go to the shelter and wait for news. I couldn't wait any longer, so I wanted to intercept the imperial envoy today, inform our family of our grievances, and ask him to make the decision. "

The aunt spoke in a hurry and ran out without waiting for Liu Yunxiang's reaction.

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled for a moment, "Since the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy, what else does Leng Yuxie ask us to do?"

Yan Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's just wait and see what happens and see what kind of medicine Leng Yuxie sells in this gourd."

Yan Mu pulled Liu Yunxiang out and said, "Let's go to the street to see this imperial envoy and see how he solves the unjust case against the old woman and her family."

When the two came to the street, it turned out that many people were talking about the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate. They also said that an old woman stopped the imperial envoy who had just entered the city and complained about her grievances in the street.

The two were about to go 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 governor, why don't you sue the imperial envoy?"
