Wang Cuihua ran away with the silver!

She didn't even dare to go back to the room where she was recuperating and rushed out of the yamen.

If for no other reason, I’m just afraid that the county magistrate will realize his mistake and regret it!

She ran all the way until she had run very, very far, so far that her lungs would explode if she took one more step. Only then did she stop, bend over, and take in the air around her in big gulps.

"Really! It actually came out!"

Return the silver!

Wang Cuihua herself couldn't believe it, such a good thing could happen!

Oh my god, what kind of fate is this for her!

"Hahaha, Wang Er, wait for me to come find you! You heartless guy, you didn't even come to save me when I was caught. Look, I'll find you, and I'll make you compensate me! Hahaha"

It doesn’t matter if Wang Er runs away, there is still a big goose at her parents’ home!

With the big goose leading the way, she will definitely find Wang Er!

Wang Cuihua went to the money shop excitedly and exchanged most of the silver for silver notes, keeping only a small amount of small change, and also exchanged some copper coins for collection.

He found out about the ox cart in Tang County, squeezed on, found a comfortable position, and acted as if to keep away from strangers.

She looked really strange now, with wrinkled skin, layer upon layer of skin folds, a fierce face, and clothes that she wore that didn't fit her well.

Plus, her deliberate expression made people afraid to approach her.

The few people who finally boarded the oxcart were unwilling to sit next to her.

"Refund, refund, refund. There are no seats left."

"Yes, aren't there still two seats?" The driver looked back and saw that there were still two seats.

The driver was unwilling to retreat.

"Can people ride in it? No one would dare to ride in it! Hurry up, don't be so anxious, return the money immediately. I have to find another car!"

"Of course there are all kinds of people riding on ox carts, so why should they be picky about seats?" However, there are many drivers who frequently travel back and forth on this route.

What he was trying to do was to get a repeat customer, so naturally he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to return the money.

Muttering to myself quietly.

This happened several times, and they all shouted at the driver to return the copper coins and find another car to ride.

The driver was helpless as no one was willing to sit near her.

Even ghosts dislike it.

"Let's go. We would have left at this time yesterday. What time is it now?" The people in the car were getting impatient, so the driver set off reluctantly and headed for Tang County.

......

Tang County.

The county magistrate of Tang County looked at the official approved silver and said, "It's actually much less!"

He was helpless and very angry.

"Why? The mother and son of the Wang family only gave 20 taels of silver! Three people only gave 60 taels of silver!"

After deducting the thirty taels to be given to the Wang family, he was left with only thirty taels!

"And Zhuo Youcai, no matter how he died, he was indeed dead, and yet they only gave him ninety taels! Is a human life so worthless?"

The total amount is only one hundred and twenty taels of silver, what can it do with it!

County Magistrate Tang was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Hiss!" He shook his aching hand.

This is a really difficult situation right now!

If he files a request for reconsideration, firstly, if he does not have sufficient evidence, the reconsideration will most likely be of no use.

Secondly, the time for reconsideration is longer than the normal application time, and he is not sure whether he has been transferred to other places by the time the approval comes down!

After careful consideration, he still didn't dare to take the risk. "Well, this is the only way for now. I'd rather have some extra silver to recover."

He placed the official approval document on the oil lamp and lit it until all the contents were burnt, then he threw the remaining little corner into the copper basin.

He set aside fifteen taels of silver and hid the rest.

After all, there are still several people living in this yamen.

"Interrogate the Queen Mother."

When the Queen Mother saw the fifteen taels of silver in her hand, she was stunned: "Why is it so little!"

"The so-called economic compensation is just compensation for those who were mistakenly beheaded or spent decades in prison. How long have you been in prison? It's still far from a year. Five taels per person! It's not a small amount!"

County Magistrate Tang acted impatient.

The Queen Mother did not believe it, "That can't be so little! You are a big official with a big business. The money that comes out of your fingernails is enough for us to live on for a lifetime! County Magistrate Tang, we agreed that the compensation for the three of us will belong to us. The compensation for Zhuo Youcai is yours! You can't go back on your word!"

County Magistrate Tang: "How can you talk like that! Can I still be greedy for your compensation? Can I still care about your little thing? Since the contract has been reached, I will abide by it! Don't look at me all over! You old woman, what are you thinking? The compensation is whatever the higher-ups approve. The amount is not something we can decide at this level. To put it bluntly, you have suffered less crime, so the silver is also less. After all, I haven't executed you yet, you haven't been beaten with a stick, and you haven't even suffered physical pain. It's a lot for the higher-ups to give you."

It seemed like she was patiently explaining things, but the Queen Mother could sense something different.

This crooked official was threatening her. If she didn't cooperate, she would be punished!

"When will you let us go home?" The strength of both sides is not equal at all. As ordinary people, they really have no way to deal with this corrupt official!

"After receiving the silver, sign here and you can go. You should sign for them as well." He simply pressed down a few pieces of paper, leaving only the lower right corner for the Queen Mother to sign.

The Queen Mother suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled, but failed to move. It was obvious that the dog official was well prepared and was on guard against her.

She would never believe that there was nothing fishy here!

The Queen Mother secretly put the silver away herself, and then waited at the gate of the yamen for her two sons to be pushed out.

Wang Cuimin looked alertly at the yamen runner who was pushing him behind him, while Wang Cuisheng was simply frightened out of his wits.

"Master, where are you pushing us to? Master, you are not going to kill us to silence us, are you? Master, please let me go. This is none of my business!"

"Shut up! Move forward! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" He was limping and had to push these two people to move. He was so tired.

Wang Cuisheng didn't know what to do. He was as limp as a puddle of mud and felt very heavy. Every time he pushed forward, his legs hurt.

"Come on, you're being released! Hurry up and leave!" He really couldn't push them anymore, otherwise he would have been too lazy to explain to them.

Life is so hard, I am hungry and have no energy. Every day when I try to buy some dry food, it is always snatched away by the master. What is this?

The Wang family has been through so much trouble, can’t they take care of these patients?

What’s the point of all this trouble!

They were released, but the boss didn't even issue a document. When he said he would let them go, people didn't dare to believe him!

"Creaky..." The heavy vermilion wooden door was pushed open, and Wang Cuisheng saw his mother standing outside the door. Only then did he believe that he had really been released, and not been tricked into some corner and secretly killed.

"Mother!" "Mother!" Wang Cuisheng and Wang Cuimin rushed over.
