Chapter 386 No. 12 Mission: Ruined Life ([-])

"Have you heard? Lin catcher fell!"

"Which Lin catcher?"

"Hey, who else is there? How many forest arresters are there in the county government?"

"I remembered, that Catcher Lin is not a good person, tell me quickly, what's wrong with him?"

"He used the name of the magistrate Tang to defraud the families of the prisoners. It is said that he defrauded a total of more than 3000 taels, and now there are only more than 1000 taels left. The magistrate Tang posted the list of the defrauded and asked those defrauded to receive the money. Woolen cloth."

"More than 3000 taels, my God...how many families has he cheated?"

"It seems to be more than 50 households!"

The county seat is not big, and a little disturbance can make a disturbance known to everyone. Soon, the news of Lin's capture reached the ears of the Bai family.

At that time, Mrs. Bai was sitting on the bench with needlework and embroidery. After the fields at home were sold out, she could only use the most troublesome way to earn money. When she heard the news, her first reaction was not to dare Believe it, but the person who came here said it so swearingly that her heart suddenly jumped wildly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Aunt Bai was so excited that she didn't even feel the needle pricking her finger. She looked at the person with shining eyes, and asked again: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Now it's spread all over the county."

The person who reported the letter was Bai Ming. He was the only person who had helped Bai Yan's family after Bai Yan's life sentence was passed. Although he had never confronted the Liu family directly, every time the Liu family came, he would sneak around Ask your grandson to report.

Therefore, he will tell Aunt Bai the first time after he knows the news.

Aunt Bai's lips trembled suddenly, she stood up, and kept walking around the room: "That's great, that's great, the magistrate is really wise, he is really so wise..."

She shed tears while talking. It is not an exaggeration to say that the 500 taels of silver were a knot in Aunt Bai's heart. Because of those 500 taels, Aunt Bai's three daughters were divorced and went home one after another. Because of those 500 taels, Aunt Bai's The family was so impoverished that it was difficult to maintain a basic livelihood.

More importantly, the Liu family has come to make trouble more frequently recently, as if they are sure that their family has money, but if they want money, they will return it to them long ago. Do you still use the Liu family to make trouble?
Aunt Bai almost cried with joy. As long as she had these 500 taels of silver, she could pay off the debts of the Liu Lin family and make the family live a better life. She could also wait for her son to come back at home peacefully. .

Seeing Aunt Bai's expression, Bai Ming frowned, and said the second half of the sentence: "However, since Catcher Lin has already used a large part of it, there may not be so many allocated to you. , I heard that there is a total of 600 taels of silver left, but there are 53 victims..."

Hearing this, Aunt Bai was startled for a moment, but quickly realized: "It's better than not having any money at all."

Although Aunt Bai said this, she was still very disappointed in her heart. The total of 600 taels was divided into more than 50 cents. How many taels of silver can the family divide?
At most a few dozen taels of silver would be enough, and if Liu Lin's family came to make a fuss, who would she give it back first?
Thinking of this, Aunt Bai's heart skipped a beat, and she became worried again, but she managed to hold up a smile and sent Bai Ming away. As soon as Bai Ming left, she went to the backyard to find the three daughters who were doing laundry, and told them what happened.

Liniang and others frowned deeply after listening to Aunt Bai's words: "Zhao Niang, if you say so, it would be better not to give out the money. Before, only Liu Dagui's family came to ask for money, and there has been no movement from the Lin family and Liu Fugui's family. , Isn't it just that we are not sure whether we have money or not?
Money touches people's hearts. If they hear the news, they will definitely come to compete with Liu Dagui's family. What should we do then? "

For a while, the atmosphere in the Bai family became dignified again. Aunt Bai told Bai Liniang to go to the village to call Papa Bai back, in case the Liu Lin family came to make trouble. Although it was useless for him to come back, there was a Men are still much better.

As expected by the Bai family, Liu Dagui, Liu Fugui, and the Lin family all acted unanimously after hearing the news. They also knew that the 1000 taels would amount to dozens of taels of silver at most for each family.

Naturally they want to compete.

So the three families walked towards the Bai family in a mighty manner. At the same time, Tang Zhixian also went to tell Feng Buyu about the 500 taels of silver. Feng Buyu asked Tang Zhixian to let Huang San go with him. Tang Zhixian naturally There is no opinion.

So when Liu Lin's family was going to Baijia Village, Huang San and his party also went to Baijia Village in official uniforms.

……

"Bai Xiuwen, you always said that your family has no money and no money. Now that the county magistrate has returned the 500 taels you were cheated of, you should return the 50 taels of silver to us."

The first ones to come here were Liu Dagui's family. At this moment, Liu Dagui was calling Aunt Bai's name directly with a straw in his mouth, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Aunt Bai was so angry that her face turned pale, and Father Bai said: "We are also your elders anyway, how dare you call us by our names?"

"Elder? I don't have any elders who don't pay back the money they owe." Liu Dagui spat out the dog's tail grass in his mouth. He sat on the stool beside him with a grin, and raised his legs: "If you Hurry up and take out the money, I can be more polite to you, otherwise, hum..."

He made a chopping motion and looked at the Bai family with his nostrils, which can be described as extremely arrogant.

Bai Liniang gritted her teeth and looked at him, her eyes full of hatred: "We will pay you back the money, and we will return it to you when we get the money, but it's not 50 taels, but 25 taels, and I only borrowed 25 taels from your family... "

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Dagui, who snorted coldly: "25 taels? At first it was 25 taels, but now it's 50 taels. If you don't pay back the money today, I'll pay you back to 60 taels tomorrow." Two, what is this called, this is called interest!

Do you think my family lent you money for nothing?Good idea, there is no such thing as a free lunch, since you have borrowed money, you have to pay the price. "

"You..." Bai Liniang was trembling with anger, "You are just messing around."

"What nonsense? I'm telling the truth, if you don't give it! It's fine, your house is quite good, and we'll stay here from now on."

As he said that, Liu Dagui looked at his cousins ​​behind him: "We won't leave without 50 taels of silver, everyone said, right?"

"Yes!"

A group of people echoed in unison, but Liu Dagui said that as long as they can get back 50 taels of silver at Bai's house, they will give each of them one tael, but if you can get a tael of silver just by running errands and talking about it, who would? unwilling?
"you!"

The Bai family couldn't do anything about Liu Dagui. In the end, Bai Yunniang said with tears in her eyes: "Aren't you afraid that we will report to the government?"

"It's only natural to pay off debts, so what's the use of reporting to the officials! Will they care? Don't forget, Bai Yan is a prisoner who has been sentenced to life imprisonment. It's too late for the government to hate you. Be careful with them, and I will also take you into the prison to experience the feeling!"

After Liu Dagui finished speaking, all the people behind him laughed loudly: "It's best to let such people who don't pay their debts also taste the taste of prison."

"What's the point of being in jail alone? Why don't you and your family go to jail alone."

"Accompany that talented gentleman of your family too!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The Liu family laughed wildly, while the Bai family was trembling with anger, their eyes were red, and their tears couldn't stop falling. Fortunately, Bai Qingniang had already brought Brother Chong and Sister Yun to the backyard, otherwise the two It's time for a child to cry.

"You...you are too much." Finally, Aunt Bai couldn't bear it any longer. She took a step forward and stared at Liu Dagui fiercely: "If my son comes out, he will definitely not let you go."

"Hahahahaha, Bai Yan comes out? That murderer comes out? Are you kidding me?" Liu Dagui laughed even more happily: "Just him? Damn! If Bai Yan really comes out, I Dagui will kneel before him. Call him grandpa in front of you!
I still want to figure it out, I think it's good if he is not beaten to death in prison! "

"You..." Seeing this, Aunt Bai wanted to say that my son would definitely come out, but thinking of her son's instructions, she still swallowed this sentence, and stared at Liu Dagui with bloodshot eyes: "You will always regret it." day."

"Hahahahaha, there will always be a day when I regret it, old woman, you are probably daydreaming! Even if Bai Yan's murderer can really come back, so what? He is a murderer, and he will always carry the label of a murderer on his body." , can no longer take the imperial examination, and no one will reuse him, he can't even make a living."

As he said that, Liu Dagui sneered: "But even if he comes out, he doesn't have to support his family. After all, his mother-in-law has gone home. When he comes out, he will be in his late teens, and his son and daughter will just be able to raise him. Speaking of which, his life is still the same." It’s good, a murderer can still sit and wait to die.”

Liu Dagui mouthed one murderer at a time, so angry that old man Bai clenched his fists, and was about to go forward to fight Liu Dagui desperately. At this moment, Liu Fugui's voice sounded outside the door.

"Is Aunt Bai and Uncle Bai at home?"

Liu Dagui frowned.

Aunt Bai was shocked.

Papa Bai suddenly came back to his senses.

But Bai Yunniang and Bai Liniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although this Liu Fugui is not a good person, he is not as shameless as Liu Dagui, and he is from the same village as Liu Dagui. If he comes, Liu Dagui will not dare to go too far no matter what he says!

Bai Liniang and Bai Yunniang were thinking at the same time.
