The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 326 Request
Shi Liu's mind worked quickly and she hurriedly asked them to stand up. Seeing that they couldn't get up, she asked Hu Zhen and others outside to come in and lift everyone up, but told them not to make her kneel.

When everyone stood up, she said, "If you have grievances to redress, you should go to the county government and beat the drum to file a complaint. I am just an ordinary person and cannot help you."

Wu Ping shook his head, "All crows are black. We have wronged ourselves, and the county government can't help us. Only Miss Pomegranate can help us!"

As he said this, he and a few others were about to kneel down again, but they were held tightly by Hu Zhen and his men, and could not kneel any further.

Wu Ping's eyes were reddened, "Please, Miss Pomegranate, please help us! As soon as I saw you, Miss Pomegranate, I knew you were a kind and loving person. Please help us for the sake of the 108 people who died tragically in Wujia Village!"

The others also hurriedly said, "Please ask Miss Pomegranate to help us!"

One hundred and eight people died tragically...

When Shi Liu heard this, her eyebrows jumped and she felt it was very complicated.

She subconsciously didn't want to listen more, fearing to get into trouble, but the emotions in the eyes of the people in front of her made it impossible for her to push them away and ignore them.

"How can I help you?"

Seeing that she did not insist on refusing, Wu Ping hurriedly spoke up, fearing that he would not be able to say it if he was a step late.

"We are from Wujia Village, Jinping Town, Xiangning County. All 27 households in the village are surnamed Wu. We work from sunrise to sunset and live a peaceful and tranquil life. But someone broke this peace.
It was a day a few months ago. My mother took my sister to the city to deliver embroidery products and take some more embroidery jobs. Everything was fine every time in the past. But on this day, they met a bully named Chen Qi. Chen Qi relied on his uncle who was the magistrate of Xiangning County to do all kinds of evil in the county. He took a fancy to my sister and wanted to take her as his concubine. How could I do this?
My mother took my sister and fled the city in a hurry back to the village. When they didn't see Chen Qi chasing them, they thought the matter was over and just when they were relieved, they didn't expect that within two days, Chen Qi came to our village with officials and demanded that my father hand over the Five Secret Records.

How could my father get this unheard-of Five Zang Secret Record? So he went to Chen Qi to negotiate for an accommodation, and Chen Qi then revealed his real purpose, asking my father to either hand over the Five Zang Secret Record or marry my sister to him as a concubine, otherwise, he would make our village look bad.

But my father was never willing to marry his precious daughter to Chen Qi as a concubine. Chen Qi's words of humiliation and his smug attitude were really too much. Under the circumstances, my uncles were so angry that they beat Chen Qi directly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qi exaggerated the situation and told the county magistrate, and the county magistrate Liu actually believed that the Five Zang Secret Records were in Wujia Village, so he took the officials and went straight to Wujia Village.

But there really wasn't anything like it in our village. Those were all fabricated nonsense made up by Chen Qizi. But no matter what my father said, the county magistrate didn't believe it. He just thought that my father refused to hand it over. In the end, he ordered people to set a fire that burned down the entire Wujia Village. My father and the villagers all died in the fire.

During those days, Wu Gui and I were working in a landlord's house in another village and were not at home, so we were lucky enough to escape the fire. However, County Magistrate Liu knew about our existence and was unwilling to let us go. He sent people to arrest us, so we hid in the mountains and fled all the way. County Magistrate Liu could not catch us, so he charged us with fugitives and issued a warrant for our arrest. Therefore, we did not dare to approach the county town or the official road along the way.

Caught up in these memories, Wu Ping and his companions looked extremely painful.

After hearing these words, Shi Liu and Patriarch Li were also deeply moved.

How can the common people defeat the government when the prefect who wiped out the whole family and the county magistrate ruined the family?
No matter how much the government charges you with a false crime, you have no choice but to endure it since you have no power. Once you resist, it will be an excuse for the officials to take action against you.

This Wujia Village really suffered an unexpected disaster.

Wu Ping continued, "On the way, we accidentally heard about the massacre of the village by the bandits in Rongjiang County. Later, we heard that the villagers of Xiahe Village in Luoshui County resisted the bandits and were rewarded by the emperor. We also heard about the great reputation of Li's pomegranates and didn't know where to escape or seek justice. Finally, we came to Luoshui County. We didn't dare to show our heads and ask around. It was also God who gave us guidance, so that we found Xiahe Village by accident!
Miss Pomegranate! Officials protect each other, and ordinary officials can't help us. You have been commended by the emperor, and you are familiar with the imperial merchant Liu family. Please help us and find a way to redress our injustice and avenge the innocent lives of our Wujia Village! We will work like cows and horses to repay your great kindness!"

"Please ask the girl to redress our injustice! Help us get revenge!"

Shi Liu and Patriarch Li exchanged a glance, and after a moment of silence, they said, "It's the New Year, and even the government office has sealed the seal and won't accept any complaints. You've been traveling a long way, so why don't you stay in our village for a few days? I'll make arrangements later."

Wu Ping was slightly wary when he heard the ambiguous words that did not directly promise to help them, but he finally chose to believe Shi Liu.

They fled all the way and had nowhere to turn to. They really couldn't find anyone who could help them.

If they went to the county town, they would probably be caught before they even entered the city.

Now that things have come to this, the only option is to take a gamble!

Soon, Wu Ping and his companions were settled in the carpentry workshop by Shi Liu.

The original food workshops were later moved to the Qing River and merged, and this area was used as a carpentry workshop. The innermost row of houses was where the carpenters lived, but during the Chinese New Year holiday, this area was empty, which was just convenient for people to live in.

After we settled down, someone brought us hot water, clean clothes, hot meals and dishes.

Wu Ping looked at these and thought of Wu San and the other three who were still starving and freezing in the mountains, and he couldn't help but fall into a struggle.

Wu Gui said, "Brother Ping, I think that Miss Pomegranate is kind-hearted and will not harm us. Let's call Brother San and the others in!"

Wu Cheng said: "What if Miss Pomegranate keeps us calm while sending someone to inform that thief Liu? Then we will be trapped and no one will be left alive!"

The youngest Wu Jin glanced at Wu Ping and spoke hesitantly, "I feel that Miss Pomegranate is not that kind of person. She is so young, but she has a calm aura that even older people cannot match, and her eyes.

Brother Ping, you are always right in judging people. Miss Pomegranate has very clear eyes. She is not someone with bad intentions. If it were Brother Ping, you might say that Miss Pomegranate would help us more sincerely. "

Everyone present understood the meaning of the pause.

"How can we take it out? It's a crime to possess a treasure. That thief Liu was so cruel just because he suspected us. If someone sees the truth, we will have no good ending!" Wu Cheng said anxiously: "Brother Ping, you must not trust people easily!"

Wu Ping's expression changed and he shook his head, "No. Wait a little longer."

I don't know whether this "wait a little longer" means to wait a little longer and call Wu San and the others, or to wait a little longer for something else.

Wu Cheng and the others shut their mouths and said no more.
