On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Xiao felt in her heart that if she said such selfish and greedy words, Mrs. Jiang would definitely avoid her. She was deeply afraid of being entangled by shameless people like them, so she immediately tried to find a way to fish out the people locked in the cell, and then prepared them. Let them roll as far as possible.

Although they felt a little sorry for the Jiang family, they were also afraid that something might happen to their father and second uncle who were in the cell.

Although I had not seen any injuries on their bodies before, I was afraid that they would be beaten with sticks after the trial.

After all, the Xu family did not rise without wind, but the Xiao family really secretly went into the mountains to hunt and returned the stolen goods.

The Xiao family was afraid that after they were beaten and put into a cell again, their wounds would worsen and they would be dragged to death.

Therefore, they didn't care about their reputation, they just wanted to fish the person out and leave here.

Old Mrs. Jiang always felt that something was amiss.

Finally she spoke: "You guys stay here for now, I'll have someone go find out the news first."

Xiao Lian looked at her in surprise: Is the old lady so well-behaved? Is she still worried that they will be kicked out?

Now let them stay, should they agree?

Xiao Xiao was very moved after hearing this. She felt that it would be a waste of money to stay in an inn, and she was worried that it would not be safe.

If you can live in Jiang's house, you will not only have peace of mind, but you will also be better informed.

Xiao Xiu glanced at the two younger sisters and said, "Then I'll stay and wait for news. You guys go back first so that your family won't worry."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Should I stay with eldest sister?"

If something happens, the sisters can discuss it.

As for the family, with grandfather taking care of it, if the second sister and eldest brother are allowed to go back, there is no need to be afraid of provocation from the Xu family.

Although Xiao Lian wanted to stay, she also knew that there might be trouble at home, so she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Then Dalang and I will go back first and come back tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Neither Xiao Xiu nor Xiao Xiao refused. After all, their families were not planning to open up wasteland. With the Xu family watching, they did not dare to go hunting in the mountains. They were not well informed at home, which made them even more anxious.

Xiao Lian turned around and was about to leave. Thinking that she was at someone else's house, she turned around and blessed Old Mrs. Jiang: "Thank you, old lady, for your help. Then I'll take care of my sister."

Old Mrs. Jiang almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. This girl is a straight person, which is quite interesting.

She responded, looked at Xiao Xiu and asked, "Can you please tell me more about saving my grandson?"

When Xiao Xiao saw his eldest sister and the old lady talking, he sent his second sister out quietly.

Xiao Lian took the opportunity and asked in a low voice: "Do you want me and my eldest brother to go find out where the Wu family lives?"

"No need for now." Xiao Xiao comforted her: "You see, when Mrs. Wu came to the Jiang family before, she should have been visiting the Jiang family. That means the Wu family is not doing well. As long as the Jiang family is willing to take care of it, they should be able to fish them out. Come."

"You have to be careful of the Xu family. When you go back, tell the truth about us living in the Jiang family in Huichun Hall. You can also say that eldest brother and the others will help in Huichun Hall in the future to prevent the Xu family from doing anything disgusting again."

The people in the village would not help the Xiao family, but they would not be willing to offend them if they knew they were related to Huichun Hall.

Who said that seeing a doctor and buying medicine is a huge expense nowadays?

Ordinary people did not dare to pass through the yamen gate, nor did they dare to offend the doctors.

Xiao Lian laughed after hearing this: "What a good idea you have. Is this what you call the power of a fox pretending to be a tiger?"

"Don't worry if you have too much debt," Xiao Xiao said helplessly: "In this world, it's not easy to be a good citizen."

A family like theirs originally wanted to live a stable life and earn more money, but in the end, they ended up in jail just because they had unreliable neighbors and failed to get married.

It's really unlucky. At this moment, she felt a little bit sympathetic to the heroes who were forced to catch up with Liangshan.

Mrs. Jiang settled the sisters in the guest house and asked two maids to serve them.

After Mrs. Jiang waited for the Xiao sisters to leave, she sighed: "Mom, if we really want to send them all away, won't we be unhappy when Yu'er comes back?"

"If he is unhappy, goes out to buy medicinal materials again, and is away from home for several months, what will we do?"

Mrs. Jiang glanced sideways at her: "Then are you willing to let your son marry Miss Xiao?"

In fact, she has a good feeling about the Xiao sisters.

She thought it was against the law before, but then she understood what the girls of the Xiao family were planning.

She doesn't want her grandson to marry a girl from an ordinary family because ordinary girls don't know how to raise them well, they don't know how to read or write, they are timid, and they get confused and don't know what to do when things happen.

But the girls of the Xiao family impressed her, and they were able to put forward conditions that made her heart beat, and they didn't cry.

Although the etiquette is irregular, he is not petty.

When Mrs. Jiang heard what her mother-in-law said, she quickly shook her head: "That's not true."

After thinking about it, he added: "But compared with the Wu girl, I would rather choose Miss Xiao."

Mr. Xiao usually sits in Huichun Hall during the day.

After all, his son and grandson were out, and there were several medicines in the drug store that were almost out of stock. He could only go to discuss with several other drug stores to share their needs.

After finally stabilizing the Huichun Hall for the time being, he heard that the mother-in-law beside his wife was looking for him. After hearing what the mother-in-law said, he could only get up and look for connections.

He did not go directly to the county magistrate. The person in charge of the prison was the jailer, who had some friendship with his son and traveled around during the holidays.

When the prison chief heard his purpose, he was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Jiang, it's not that I'm trying to shirk, but I've decided to go to court tomorrow, so I can't let him go."

"Nephew, you misunderstood. I'm just here to ask about the situation." Mr. Jiang smiled and said, "Can you let me go in and meet them?"

Of course the warden would not refuse this request and would accompany him personally.

After Mr. Jiang came out of prison, he thanked him first: "I have caused you trouble today. I will treat you to a drink when the father and son come back."

"Uncle Jiang, you're welcome." After the warden sent him in, he went to inquire about it himself, and now he also knew some of the inside story: "I heard that Luo Lei, a clerk from the county government office's workshop, accidentally caught them delivering prey to the inn. It just so happens that Luo Lei's uncle and the Xiao brothers are neighbors."

After he inquired about it, he realized that the Xiao family had offended Uncle Luo Lei.

"In the past, people who went into the mountains to catch prey would have done it without any action, but they just let people catch them."

"I guess it's just a matter of laying a few boards, fined some money, and having people do hard labor. They'll be able to repair the canals for a few months and everything will be fine."

Mr. Jiang went to see the county magistrate again, and after he came out, he went home directly, met with the Xiao sisters, and told them the news he had learned.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Xiao sisters: "I asked someone here to save them from the trouble, but I'm afraid they won't be able to avoid the hard work."

Who makes the county magistrate like a good reputation and want to take advantage of the opportunity to collect more taxes from the hunters?

When what happened to the Xiao brothers happens, those hunters who evade taxes will definitely be afraid, and they may pay taxes on their own initiative without any prompting.
