Chapter 100
Bai Sanxiu ran around the mountains and mountains around Pinglu County, because he couldn't catch up with the closing time of the city gate, so he simply stayed at the farmer's house, and traveled for three days before returning to the small courtyard.During this period, Li Quan never came back.

After she came back, she ate a little, washed up early and went to bed, and slept until the sun was high the next day before waking up slowly.After eating breakfast in a leisurely manner, there was a sudden commotion outside, and there seemed to be some serious event between the words.

Bai Sanxiu opened the door curiously, just in time to meet Yao Yiqian also coming out from the path next to the yard, as if he was about to go out.

"Morning Brother Yao! Why is it so lively outside?"

Yao Yiqian paused, "There is a complaint from the county government. I'll go and have a look."

"It turned out to be a complaint."

Are complaints unusual?They are still some distance away from the county government. What case has attracted so much interest from others?In Chang'an, I don't know how many people beat drums and filed complaints at the gates of the yamen in one prefecture and two counties, and even the pleading papers were stuffed at the gate of Li Guan. She is no stranger to it.

Bai Sanxiu was originally lacking in interest, but Yao Yiqian's next sentence reversed her attitude in an instant.

"I heard that it was the source of the rumor about the embroidered shoes. The family of the woman surnamed Qiao has returned. They are suing the Chen family for robbing their relatives to marry them and forcing their daughter to death."

"Brother Yao, wait for me, I'll go together!"

-

When Bai Sanxiu and Yao Yiqian walked to the gate of the county government office, the three floors outside the government office were already surrounded by people.The two of them squeezed their way into the crowd with great effort. Qiao's family, who had complained, had already gone in. Bai Sanxiu tried her best to stand on tiptoe, but couldn't see anything.

"I heard that Qiao's family moved out after the accident. Why did they come back suddenly?"

Yao Yiqian shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

"I moved away with my family when I was young, and I only came back a few years ago."

The enthusiastic crowd on the side answered her positively: "It's moved away. I didn't get the news. I just came back."

Bai Sanxiu wondered, "What news?"

A man who looked like a scholar said: "It is said that the censor from Chang'an is reviewing the prison lawsuits of Pinglu over the years. The Chen family quickly asked someone to write a complaint, and sued the Chen family for rape in the name of marriage. Please The censor is the master, to avenge the injustice of the girl from the Qiao family."

Bai Sanxiu listened and always felt something was wrong.The Qiao family was just a small, ordinary family. No one else knew where they moved after the incident happened. How did they get the news that Yan Jin was sent to supervise?Moreover, the Chen family has a lot of influence in Pinglu, who would dare to write the petition for the Chen family?
Sure enough, the scholar continued, with some worry on his brows: "I don't know which righteous man did such a good deed. Even if the censor comes, this case will be difficult!"

"Why do you say that, son?"

"Back when the Qiao family owed money, the Chen family forced a marriage certificate with interest. With the marriage certificate, it is natural and reasonable to get married. Even if you report to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, it is unreasonable."

Not necessarily.Bai Sanxiu thought to herself, maybe the certificate was written by someone from Dali Temple!Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the proper appearance of the Qiao family at this time.

After thinking about this, Bai Sanxiu raised her head and said to Yao Yiqian: "Brother Yao, I guess Qiao's family won't be able to come out for a while, so I won't watch it. It's too crowded here, I'll go back first."

Yao Yiqian nodded.

After returning to the small courtyard, Bai Sanxiu took out the oral records obtained from visiting farmers in the past few days.She remembered the dictation in a rough way, and the words were also scribbled, so she definitely couldn't show it to Li Guan.So she found a stack of blank rice paper and wrote it carefully. After finishing this arrangement, she even forgot to eat lunch and copied it until the afternoon.

"Little white girl."

Hearing the greeting from outside the courtyard, Bai Sanxiu put away the records, opened the door and saw that Yao Yiqian had returned.

"Brother Yao. Has the result come out?"

"Not so fast." Yao Yiqian stood outside the fence, his voice still so hoarse, "However, Yan Yushi ordered that the Chen family's financial accounts be sealed up for official inspection."

Bai Sanxiu was startled for a moment, then smiled inwardly.Now she can be sure that [-]% of the complaints from the Qiao family were inspired by Li and Yan, and the piranha from the Chen family was the one who netted them.
