He Chuwei's voice was as hoarse as if he hadn't drank water for ten days.

His eyes were bloodshot.

There was also a bloody scab on the corner of his mouth.

It seemed as if he had been beaten so much that he vomited blood and had not wiped it clean.

"What is going on, Chu Wei, please tell your grandfather that time is running out. There is less than a stick of incense left, and your father and I are leaving."

He Shanhu saw that his grandson was still alive.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Pushing his son away, he came directly opposite He Chuwei and asked him.

"Grandpa, I didn't do anything. I was wronged, but they didn't believe me and insisted on beating me. Grandpa, please get me out quickly. I hurt so much. I'm going to die. I can't survive it!"

He Chuwei cried bitterly. He used to be very concerned about his image, and he didn't care if the mucus flowed from his nose to his chest.

"You kid, tell me quickly. If you don't explain clearly, how will your grandfather save you?"

He Wanjiang stamped his feet beside him anxiously.

He only has one son, and if something happens, he will have no heirs.

Who will see him die in the future and who will support him?

"Here's the thing, the batch of candles I bought were made of corpse oil..."

He Chuwei weakly told the reason for the matter.

"Okay, grandpa knows, Chu Wei, don't be afraid, grandpa will rescue you, don't worry!" By the time He Chuwei finished speaking, the time for a stick of incense was almost up.

He Shanhu could only comfort him, and then left quickly with his son.

When they walked back to the previous section of the road, the hair on both of them stood up unconsciously.

They didn't dare to look around, lowered their heads and ran out quickly.

As I was going up the stairs, I could still faintly hear the screams of the prisoners behind me.

"Why are you so slow! Your ears have grown on your back? You've been promised for a stick of incense, so get out of here!"

As soon as he walked out, he was scolded by the officer leading the way.

Although He Shanhu was very angry, he did not dare to talk back.

Businessmen have a low status.

If you offend these officials, you won't even know how you will lose your life.

If someone makes any excuse, it will be enough for him to eat a pot.

"I'm really sorry, sir. It's too dark inside. I fell down. Come on, come on. This little money is not a sign of respect. You can use it to drink."

He Shanhu took out his last two taels of silver and handed it to the official.

Only then did I get a smile.

"Okay, okay, since you are so sensible, I won't argue with you. Just leave quickly. I won't be able to deal with it if you delay it any longer."

The official put the money into his chest and left with the He family and his son.

On the road.

He Shanhu asked Xiang Guanqi in a subtle way.

I want to know what they will do with their grandson.

Unexpectedly, the officer refused to reveal a word.

They had no choice but to leave first. They walked all the way to the shop, found that the shop had been sealed, and then returned home.

"What can we do! Chu Wei has been arrested and the shop has been sealed. It seems that he wants to open the mouths of these officials without drawing some blood. Wan Jiang, go! Take out all the valuable things in your house. , let Mrs. Liu sell her jewelry and clothes, and I'll go tell your mother and Mrs. Wan to make preparations. They must raise the money today. If this continues, Chu Wei won't be able to stand it any longer. "

After He Shanhu gave instructions to his son, he went to Lu's house.

Two hours later, he and He Wanjiang left the pawn shop with ninety taels of silver and went straight to the county government office. As for the porter and the maid who carried the box, they returned to He's house on their own.

This time the father and son did not go in.

Instead, the cat was waiting in the corner outside the county government office.

After the official officers were off duty, they stepped forward and took the ten official officers to a nearby restaurant in the name of treating guests.

Including the father and son, there were a total of twelve people, sitting at two tables. Each table ordered a full table of dishes, and even more wine.

Such a generous gesture made the official's smile become much more real.

After a while, they started calling themselves brothers. After eating and drinking, He Shanhu finally came up with something.

It turned out that the magistrate personally ordered the torture.

It was okay if I didn't ask, but when I asked, He Shanhu's body became limp.

The county magistrate has already intervened, how can he save him?

How to save?

It's over, it's all over.

It wasn't until the officials were about to leave after eating that he came to his senses. He Shanhu tremblingly took out the silver from his purse and gave five taels to each of them, in order to beg them to show mercy to his grandson.

The official agreed perfunctorily.

After they left, He Shanhu also left with his son.

The remaining forty taels were all used to pay for the meal.

Not even a copper plate was left.

"Dad, grandfather, how is my husband? Has he been rescued?" As soon as he walked to the door of the house, he saw Wan Shi anxiously waiting outside the door. Seeing them coming back, she held up her skirt, trotted over, and asked them road.

"We can't be saved. The county magistrate personally ordered strict punishment, and the officials also obeyed the orders. There was nothing we could do. I heard that in the afternoon, someone went to the county government to file a complaint against Chu Wei, saying that his children smelled corpse oil candles. , he was possessed by an evil spirit and developed a high fever. Tell me, this kid was just messing around with broken candles, so why not just sell the candles before? Now it’s better, he fell in, hey!"

He Wanjiang shook his head irritably.

He didn't sleep well last night.

When I came back early in the morning, I wanted to get some sleep again.

Unexpectedly, he encountered his son and was arrested on the way.

After a busy day, he had just drank a lot of wine with the officials. He smelled of alcohol and felt sleepy and tired.

"In the afternoon, I asked you to take out your dowry and sell it to save Chu Wei. You refused, so why ask so many questions now! He is your husband! If something happens to Chu Wei, you won't be able to survive! I knew you were like this. Man, I shouldn't have agreed to Chu Wei marrying you in the first place! After marrying into the He family for so long, I haven't even laid an egg, and I'm so stingy that I don't pay a penny. Why, do you want to live with money for the rest of your life? Then let me first I’ll divorce you instead of Chu Wei!”

He Shanhu was drunk and pointed at Wan.

Speak out all the dissatisfaction in your heart.

"Grandpa, I don't have it. My husband took away all my dowry. Those candles were all bought with my dowry, which is more than three hundred taels!"

Wan was extremely aggrieved.

In the afternoon she was embroidering a veil in the house.

Grandfather suddenly burst in.

She was asked to give out her dowry to save Chu Wei. Wan knew nothing about this matter, and had been warned by her husband not to tell anyone about it, so she did not dare to tell her grandfather that the dowry had been Give it to your husband.

This made He Shanhu misunderstand.

It is believed that Wan was unwilling to hand over the dowry.

"Okay, you two have done such a big thing without telling me! Let me tell you, where did Chu Wei get the money to buy corpse oil candles? It turned out that it was all your fault! You broomstick!"

He Shanhu's anger had nowhere to vent.

Hearing that it was Mr. Wan who paid for it, he made his grandson go into Nao Shizi's body oil candle.

Then he took all his anger out on Wanshi.
