Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan's carriage followed behind, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she muttered to herself, "It will be better in the future, it will be." A group of people walked slowly all the way to the Wang family yard. It was already noon, and the sun was very strong outside, and it was very hot.

Several servants of the Wang family wanted to carry Wang Yaozu and Madam Wang inside, but were stopped outside the door by several yamen runners. The yamen runners' captain, Chang Shun, said, "You two, we are here to handle matters. You can rest at the door. Wait until all the dowry of the Li family is cleared out before you go in. Otherwise, if the people inside stop you, it will be embarrassing if you use knives or something."

The two yamen runners nearby said, "That's right! We are just following orders. It would be ugly if we used knives or something."

"That's right, you two just wait at the door."

Wang Yaozu was so angry when he heard this that he wanted to hit them. But when he thought about them being officials and he was just a businessman, he stopped and said with a sob, "Official, can you please let my mother go back to the mansion to see a doctor first? I will wait outside and not go in. I will wait for you to count all the dowry before I go in. Please, my mother is old and can't stand it! Please."

When Mrs. Wang heard what her son Yaozu said, tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up and said, "Sir, please, have mercy on me. I really can't bear it! Sir, please..."

Upon hearing this, the yamen runner Chang Shun leaned sideways, raised his fingers and rubbed them lightly. Wang Yaozu's eyes lit up and he pointed at the servant next to him with trembling hands. The servant took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his bosom and handed it to Wang Yaozu.

Wang Yaozu tilted his head, and the servant turned around and handed the banknote to the yamen runner Chang Shun. Chang Shun took it and said with a sneer, "In view of your filial piety, I will let the old lady go back to rest first, but you can't go back. Stay here. You can't go back until the work is done." If both of them went back and the work was not done well, Lord Liu would probably not be in a good mood. It can be seen that Lord Liu cares about this matter.

Wang Yaozu nodded vigorously, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll wait here. I'm still young and I can endure it. As long as my mother goes in, it'll be fine. As long as my mother goes in, it'll be fine. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Old Madam Wang was choking with sobs. She looked at her son Wang Yaozu and after a while, she was carried into the yard by two servants. Several yamen runners also followed her into the Wang family's yard. The servants, maids and old women huddled aside and no one dared to come forward to stop them.

Liu Yanyan watched all this in the carriage without saying anything. After all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Nothing went wrong, and she couldn't cut off other people's financial resources.

Seeing the yamen runners rushing into the Wang family with the archived list of Li Li's dowry, they carried out loads of dowry, more than a dozen loads in total.

After a careful inventory, Chang Shun found that some things were missing. His face was gloomy. He turned around and stared at Wang Yaozu and said, "Where is Miss Li's dowry? How come so many things are missing? Where are the pure gold headpiece with words on it? Where is the pearl hairpin? Where is the agate bracelet? Where is the glazed Guanyin? Tell me clearly. If one of them is missing, you will stay here forever." How can he report if so many things are missing?

Wang Yaozu thought about it carefully for a long time before he said, "Sir, Sir, I remember it now. It's in my mother's room. Go get it. Don't scare her. She's old and can't be scared." Mother, what the hell, why did she take Li's things? It hurts so much, I can't stand it.

The bailiff Chang Shun had a cold face and waved his hand. Two bailiffs rushed in. If it weren't for the silver just given, they would have slapped him twice. He really wouldn't have explained it clearly and would have had to make another trip.

Wang Yaozu saw Chang Shun's cold face and trembling body, took out a white jade pendant from his neck and handed it to him, "Sir, this is from the temple. It can guarantee safety. Please accept it."

Chang Shun took it with a look of disgust, and seeing that it was in good condition, he held it in his arms. However, the yamen runner did not believe a word he said about keeping him safe. "Promising safety will cost you half your life?"

After the other two yamen runners carried the box and took it out, and counted it, he waved his hand and said, "You two servants, carry him in."

The servant carried Wang Yaozu on his back and walked quickly towards the Wang family's yard, not daring to stop for a moment. As soon as they entered, the servant next to them closed the gate.

Chang Shun smiled and said, "Brother, we got a total of 100 taels of silver. Divide them later. Take some home to buy some rouge and powder for your wife. Don't be like Wang Yaozu, who embarrassed himself. Put the things on the cart first."

Several yamen runners nearby said, "Hahaha, just put it on the cart. It's covered in blood."

"What's the point of being so particular? Just send the items back. They don't dare to pick on them."

"That's right, that's right. The Li family should be happy to get back so many things." After saying that, several people put the things directly on two carts. Those that couldn't fit were tied to the back of Liu Yanyan's carriage.

They walked back to the city, banging and hammering along the way. The onlookers followed them all the way until they came to the foot of the city wall and found the Li family's small courtyard. The courtyard was not big and looked like it had only two entrances, and was a bit dilapidated.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Hui opened the door and was startled to see so many people outside. He saw several yamen runners and bowed, "Brother Guan, what's going on?"

Chang Shun smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. We are just rough people. How can we accept your courtesy? Mr. Zhang is kind and pitiful for Miss Li, so he asked us to send her dowry back."

Li Hui was incredulous and choked with gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Guan, thank you for taking the trouble to come here. We thought we couldn't get it back." My sister is ill. Given the current situation at home, we really can't afford such expensive ginseng! Now my sister is well. She has medicine.

Chang Shun smiled and said, "How is that possible? The adults have already sentenced him, so he has to withdraw even if he doesn't want to." After that, he patted Li Xiucai's hand and was about to leave with a few yamen runners.

Li Hui took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Chang Shun's hand. Chang Shun waved his hand to refuse, looking at the dilapidated yard and said, "Don't be so polite. Keep it. Your sister needs a lot of money for medical treatment."

When the yamen runners nearby saw this, they turned around and left. No one took the silver.

Li Hui bowed with tears in his eyes and saluted the yamen runners again. He took his wife and children to carry his sister's dowry, box by box, into the yard.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan sighed and told the groom, "Let's go back to the mansion. It's almost dark after all this trip."

"Okay, miss. Please sit tight." After saying that, he waved the whip and hurried towards the Duke's Mansion.

Liu Yanyan looked at the noisy crowd outside, her lips curled slightly, and she murmured, "Maybe it's not as bad as I thought."
