Chapter 66 Popularity
The news that Lufang’s liuqing bamboo carvings are worth [-] yuan spread quickly and widely. After all, no matter in the era of Internet or no Internet, people are always interested in this kind of "a tea egg sells for [-] yuan", "it is obviously just A piece of bamboo can be sold at a sky-high price", which can be used for complaints and discussions.
Of course, the difference between having the Internet and not having the Internet is that news like this spreads more widely in the Internet age, and at this moment, the Liuqing Bamboo Carving about Lufang is only spread in Mingzhou.
For many people, they don't know how to appreciate the art of bamboo carving, so they don't understand why four pieces of bamboo can be sold at a high price that is enough for half a year's income. People talk more about the five thousand yuan.
Many neighbors in Xingxianfang knew that Song Yuyan belonged to "Lufang", so they heard such rumors, and every time they passed by Song's house, they would sneak a few glances.
"Hey, the Song family doesn't seem to have changed much. Song Dalang's bamboo carvings are so valuable, so he must be very rich, right?"
"It doesn't matter if you have money, this yard doesn't belong to Song Dalang either. I heard that Song Dalang built his own house in Jinchuan Township!"
"I also know that once I passed by Jinchuan Township, I saw that Song Dalang's house was completely remodeled. They used green bricks and green tiles, not to mention how beautiful it is!"
Song Yuyan, who happened to hear these people muttering: "..."
The reason why the rumors are not the truth is because the truth has finally become a rumor that is [-]% true and [-]% false.The original owner's house was indeed being repaired, but when it came to using blue bricks, the entire Song family, except for the patriarch and a few wealthy families, could only use blue bricks for the facade of Yizhuang.
This thing is so expensive, even if the patriarch wanted to build a blue brick wall for her, the clan would not agree!As for the tiles, they were all left over from the old house, some were stolen before, and the clan made new ones for her.
Besides, there were not even a few decent pieces of furniture in the room, so she didn't understand how such rumors came about.
After hearing these rumors, Bing'er became listless.Although Song Yuyan usually adopts a free-range education model for her, it's not that he doesn't care about her, so he quickly noticed her abnormality.
"Cake." She called out.
Bing'er quickly got up and ran towards her, spreading her hands to pick up something: "Brother, I will deliver the letter for you!"
Song Yuyan reflected on it. Could it be that she let Binger run too many errands on a daily basis, so that she squeezed the nine-year-old child laborer into a habit and formed a natural reaction?
Although she didn't let Binger run errands frequently, only once or twice a day, but she planned to be a good sister, so she touched her head and said, "Brother, I don't need your help to deliver letters today, and I will be less in the future." Something to let you run errands."
I thought Bing'er would be happy to hear this, but unexpectedly she tugged on Song Yuyan's sleeve and said, "I like to deliver letters for elder brother, so don't let me deliver letters..."
Song Yuyan: "???"
Cake, does this have Stockholm Syndrome?That would be a headache.
Song Yuyan bent down, put his hands on his knees, looked at Xiaoluotou at the same level, and asked, "Tell Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Bing'er cried aggrievedly: "Brother, don't leave, okay, isn't this your home?"
"Who said I was leaving?"
Little Luobotou couldn't control her tears to stop when she started crying. Song Yuyan didn't urge her, but just wiped her tears away. When she recovered, she repaired Song Yuyan's "real" home she had heard. The words were repeated.
Song Yuyan was silent for a moment when he heard the words.She almost forgot that Binger's age was the most sensitive and vulnerable to external influences.Even if no one said that she would leave here, words like "This is not Song Dalang's home, Song Dalang's home has been built" would send her a message that Song Yuyan would return to her real home.
Little Luobotou was worried that she would leave them behind, that's why she was so worried, worried that what she did would dissatisfy Song Yuyan, and Song Yuyan really didn't care about her and Sun'er.
When her biological mother Wu Shi left, although she was still young, she did not forget things. That scene has been engraved deep in her memory, and she can no longer accept being abandoned by someone she trusts and relies on.
Not only her, but Sun'er also felt the same confusion, it's just that his emotions are more restrained now, and he didn't show the tension and sadness brought about by the rumors.
Song Yuyan flicked her forehead: "I heard the nonsense from people outside, why didn't you come back and ask elder brother? Elder brother is a relative of you and Sun'er, what can't you ask? If you want to know whether elder brother will leave, then let me tell you, I'm fine now, and I don't intend to leave you and Sun'er alone, so don't be afraid."
"Really?" Bing'er stopped crying, but she couldn't breathe for a while, so she sobbed.
"You don't even believe in elder brother? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. You should always believe in your elder sister Tang. I have a letter for her here. You can send it to her. Just ask her by the way."
Bing'er took the letter, and suddenly became happy—she had never liked to run errands for her elder brother so much as at this moment!
When she ran away in a hurry, Song Yuyan turned around and saw Sun'er standing by the door looking at her, then hummed: "It's true to ask Sister Tang if it's fake, and let Binger run errands!"
Song Yuyan could hear that his nasal voice was quite strong, and suddenly asked him maliciously: "Did you also believe the outside world, thinking that I would leave you alone? So you are worried? Are you reluctant to part with me?"
Sun'er's face turned red immediately, and he didn't know if he was too angry or shy, he put down his harsh words: "You, you, you have a good idea! I won't worry about you leaving!"
Then hurriedly slipped back into the room.
Song Yuyan said: "Okay, I can control myself from saying something that hurts people's hearts. I have made great progress. But when can you be more honest, admit that you like me as a big brother, and rely on me as a big brother, it will be better."
"You're still shameless." Sun'er sprayed her at the window.
Then, he ran out again and asked, "Then what's the deal with building a house?"
"The patriarch saw that your elder brother has contributed to the clan, so he helped me repair the house, and I will go back to Jinchuan Township to do business in the future, so I won't have nowhere to stay. So, you should study hard, and if you can also contribute to the clan in the future , maybe the clan will help repair this house too!"
Sun'er looked at her for a while, and then he felt a little more at ease. He said, "Master said that I need to discuss with you about Shu Xiu, so I want to see you."
Song Yuyan wondered if Sun'er's tuition would go up, right?Sure enough, there is no uniform standard for private school fees.
"A parent meeting, right? I know."
Sun'er: "...the master said he would come over."
"We've all visited home, so it's not just Shu Xiu's business, right?"
"How do I know?" Sun'er said and went back to the house.

On the other side, Binger sent a letter to Tang Zhi, Tang Zhi saw her face was as dirty as a little cat, and she was still twitching, so he knew that she had just finished crying.
Tang Zhi felt that this was really strange. Although this little luobotou used to cry when she was wronged, there were not many things that could make her really feel wronged in the past two years. Occasionally crying was also fake crying. I cried, and cried very sadly.
While wiping her face, Tang Zhi asked her why she was crying.After listening to her intermittent speech, Tang Zhi didn't take her reaction as a child's innocence, but answered her seriously, "She has always been a very responsible elder brother, she never thought of abandoning you before, let alone now. meeting."
Tang Zhi also knew about the fact that the clan helped Song Yuyan repair the old house, and it was Song Yuyan who took the initiative to inform him.At that time, she was also worried that Song Yuyan would move back to Jinchuan Township, but later Song Yuyan said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't intend to move, but I just thought that there are some things that I should let you know."
Tang Zhi realized that what Song Yuyan meant was that she regarded her as a family, so some things were considered their "family affairs" and both parties should know about them.She blushed with shame at that time, and secretly muttered, "I'm not even married yet!"
……
"Big brother won't want us like mother?" Bing'er asked again.
Tang Zhi came back to his senses, his nose was sore when he heard this.She hugged the little carrot, and said, "Bai'er is so obedient and sensible, how could she be willing to abandon you?"
"Then I will practice calligraphy and learn to draw hard in the future, so as not to disappoint my elder brother."
The misunderstanding this time really stimulated Pancake, so Song Yuyan didn't see her being lazy for a long time, although sometimes she would steal some preserved fruit from somewhere while she was reading.Seeing that it didn't affect her enthusiasm for reading, Song Yuyan turned a blind eye.
But for Song Yuyan, the troubles caused by the five thousand dollars were not over yet.
One night, it was already three o'clock, she had just finished counting the accounts at home, and was lying on the bed ready to go to sleep, but suddenly heard a cry of pain from outside, she immediately turned up from the bed, grabbed the bamboo knife at home , quietly standing by the door.
Then Song Yuyan heard the familiar barking sound of a dog. She thought for a while, isn't that the Tang family's dog, Xiao Huang, barking? !
She immediately led her little black, opened the door and ran out. A black shadow happened to run past the door. She didn't know whether to chase the shadow or go to Tang's house first.
After a while, she decided to go to the Tang's house first, because the dogs barking and howling at the Tang's house still didn't stop.
Neighbors were also woken up, and they all went to the door to ask what was going on.And Song Yuyan had already come to Tang's house, and anxiously knocked on the door of Tang's house, "Miss Tang, Tang Zhi, answer me."
Terrible thoughts such as "burglary", "killing and stealing goods" flashed in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more hurried she knocked on the door.
"What's going on?" Someone surrounded and patted on the Tang family's door with Song Yuyan.
They could probably guess what happened. There must be something wrong with the Tang family when there are strange voices coming out of the Tang family at such a late hour.There are only two weak women in the Tang family now, and it is likely that something happened.
After a while, Tang Zhi hurried to open the door, Song Yuyan grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tang Zhi held the oil lamp in one hand, and was held by her in the other, feeling ashamed, warm and at ease in his heart.
She shook her head: "I'm fine. I woke up when I heard Xiao Huang calling me. I was afraid that the thief would enter the room, so I hid in the room and didn't dare to open the door until I heard your voice."
Song Yuyan nodded and ran in, and the neighbors who were watching followed her into Tang's house.
Because of the large number of people, the lights illuminated a corner of the Tang family's courtyard brightly. At a glance, everyone saw the man sitting on the ground holding his feet and weeping bitterly. At his feet was a row of very scary spikes. Vaguely stained with black and red blood.
Song Yuyan didn't have time to look at the situation of the tooth nail. Her eyes fell on the man, and her eyes suddenly turned cold: "Li Yao, you dare to show up!"
At the beginning of the year, Tang Haogen told her that Li Yao had participated in the civil unrest, and the majority of the civil unrest forces had been dismantled by the government, only some people were still fleeing, and Li Yao fled back to Cixi to hide.
It has been several months now, and she has gradually forgotten about this matter and this person. Unexpectedly, sisters Tang Zhi and Tang Ye almost had an accident in his hands!
Tang Zhi also leaned over in surprise. She didn't remember that she had provoked Li Yao... If she had, it was the time when she helped Song Yuyan out.But how long ago were those old grievances, and he only came to take revenge now?
"What is this? My feet hurt so much, I'm about to die!" Li Yao was in pain.
Although the wall of Tang's house was not as high as that of Song's house, so when he climbed over the wall, he jumped directly from above, but it was a good thing he didn't jump. After jumping, the spikes went straight through the straw sandals, piercing his feet.
Everyone was shocked to see it, but Tang Zhi was glad that she hadn't dismantled the trap Song Yuyan had set for her because it was safe and sound.It's really broken, maybe Xiao Huang was killed before he found him - she saw the big knife in Li Yao's hand, compared to the hatchet used for chopping wood, this is a real weapon!
Ordinary people have no chance to own such weapons at all, and with Li Yao's status as a fugitive, Tang Zhi and Song Yuyan can probably guess where his weapons come from.
"You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of pain?" Song Yuyan said.
Li Yao was so stimulated by her that he wanted to get up reluctantly and slash her with a knife.But Song Yuyan let go of Xiao Hei's rope, although Xiao Hei was usually as gentle and docile as Song Yuyan, but it was also a black dog that could wink, and now it barked at Li Yao.
Xiao Huang from the Tang family was also barking, the two dogs barked together, and Xiao Hei showed signs of attacking him, which made him flinch in fright.
"Get out!" Li Yao threatened the two dogs.
Song Yuyan took the opportunity to ask someone to help him tie him up. Although he had a knife on his body, he was injured, so everyone rushed forward, and he had no room to resist.
Patrol officers and soldiers rushed over soon after hearing the movement, and Li Yao was taken away by the government just like that.
Everyone still couldn't figure out why Li Yao wanted to attack the Tang family. In terms of grievances, the grievances between him and Song Yuyan were much greater, right?If you want to talk about money, the Tang family doesn't look very rich, does it?The only possibility is that he covets the two young ladies of the Tang family.
They should be rejoicing again: "Fortunately, the Tang family installed a trap under the courtyard wall, otherwise it would be hard to say tonight's innocence."
"Hey, why didn't I think of setting up a trap, let's see who dares to come to my house to steal things in the future!" Someone said.
"Come on, those things in your house are worthless, who would steal your things!"
"I have two daughters at home!"
……
They talked a lot, but this matter did not fade away after Li Yao was arrested, because this kind of burglary also occurred in Xingxianfang, so the people here closed their doors early at night, and bought another Only the dog went back to raise it-they had no traps, so they had to keep dogs.
Song Yuyan didn't care what other people's families were like. After thinking about it, she thought that the walls of the Tang family were still a little short. Although the traps could deter many people with bad intentions, there was no guarantee that they would not avoid those traps. The walls of the Tang family were also built higher.
Tang Haogen naturally agreed with this decision.When he learned that his sister was about to have an accident, he immediately asked for leave and came back, and went to the yamen every day to see the results of the treatment.
As a result, he found out that after preliminary interrogation in the yamen, Li Yao also admitted his crimes. Since he had participated in the rebellion, the government asked him to confess those accomplices who fled.
He grabbed and bit Song Yuyan in the courtroom, and said: "Song Yuyan, he has done a lot of sneaky things in the past, the Ming government can't let him go!"
Now the county magistrate of Cixi is not Pang County magistrate, because Pang County magistrate passed the exam smoothly, so he was transferred in March.The county magistrate here is called Ning Zhi. As the name suggests, he is very upright.After learning what Song Yuyan had done, he had someone summon her and planned to interrogate her.
Song Yuyan got the news first, she didn't have any messy thoughts, but suddenly realized who the original owner was really implicated in the previous life.
The original owner always thought that she was implicated because Meng Shuituan had persuaded her to join the gang, and later she was in contact with Meng Shuituan again.But all of this was what she had guessed after seeing Meng Shuituan being arrested.In fact, there are many people who have committed more serious crimes than Meng Shuituan, such as Li Yao.
The original owner didn't have time to discover the truth until she died, so that she helped Meng Shuituan get rid of the fate of her previous life in order not to be implicated by Meng Shuituan.Later, she cut off contact with those cronies, and at the same time gradually changed other people's views on the original owner, and improved her reputation. In this way, the government can't just believe in other people's one-sided words, right?
It's a pity that the new county magistrate didn't know who Song Yuyan was or what she was like. He could only get the image of a notorious and depraved scoundrel from Li Yao's mouth.
After Song Yuyan figured it out, he went to the Yamen calmly.
Tang Zhi asked Tang Ye to keep an eye on the bamboo shoots and cakes at home, while he himself had to go to the Yamen.
Originally, Tang Zhi was worried that the government wanted to question Song Yuyan, but after they went to the back office, they realized that the magistrate of Nanning was easy to talk to. Although he had some preconceived notions about Song Yuyan, he would not only listen to what Li Yao said. , but asked people to go to Xingxianfang in disguise to inquire about Song Yuyan's reputation.
The neighbors in Xingxianfang didn't know the identities of these people, and thought that Song Yuyan had befriended some high-ranking officials and wealthy households, so they naturally praised Song Yuyan like a flower.
Ning Zhi's people were at a loss when they heard two completely different opinions: "Didn't you say that he is a rascal with a lot of bad records?"
The neighbors said: "What nonsense! Song Dalang has always been a very positive person. In order to support his two younger brothers and sisters, he weaved straw mats and baskets, and his hands were blistered. How can such a down-to-earth person Empty to do things like stealing chickens and dogs?!"
Ning Zhi's person: "..."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Then, would you like to go to the Yamen and repeat what you just said?"
As soon as everyone heard about the yamen, they felt a little apprehensive, and then they heard about Li Yao's testimony against Song Yuyan, and they immediately scolded Li Yao angrily: "This Li Yao is not a good person, he used to bully Song Dalang so hard, but later Seeing that the situation at Song Dalang's family improved a little, he came to blackmail Song Dalang. If Song Dalang didn't give him money, he wronged Song Yuyan."
Later, a vegetable farmer who had been favored by Song Yuyan volunteered to testify for Song Yuyan. When others heard it, they felt that Li Yao had committed a rebellion and would die sooner or later. Why should they worry that they would be retaliated by Li Yao for speaking up for Song Yuyan?So I have to follow along to join in the fun.
Qi Ru, who happened to be here for a home visit, learned of this, hurriedly ran back to the county school, and told Lu Fang's fanboy, Zhao Xi, about it. People, how can you allow a thief to slander?! I'm going to rectify Fang Lu's name!"
Sun'er also ran to inform Aunt Lie, and Aunt Lie closed the shop directly, leading Song Bing and the staff directly to the yamen.
In addition to the literati who had contacts with Song Yuyan...the number of people who came to the county government suddenly increased.
Originally, there were only some ordinary people in the area where the county government was watching, but after this group of people came, it became as lively and crowded as a vegetable market.
When Ning Zhi heard that these were the people who were going to testify for Song Yuyan, he was speechless—he seemed to have underestimated Song Yuyan's popularity?
But since this incident, he has slowly changed his preconceived notions about Song Yuyan. The only way to get the support of so many people is to have the wealth and power to tempt others to give false testimony. Unfortunately, as far as he knows, Song Yuyan and the two It doesn't matter, so the biggest possibility is that she has a good character and has done many good things, so she can get the support of others.
In contrast, Li Yao, who revealed all the bad things Song Yuyan had done, only had verbal testimony, but no evidence.What's more, the people didn't dare to testify for Song Yuyan because they were afraid of his revenge at the beginning. It can be seen how bad his character is, and his words are not credible.
Therefore, the Yamen's trial of Song Yuyan did not need to involve the intervention of judicial officials at all. She was equivalent to going to the Yamen to cooperate with the Yamen's investigation of Li Yao.
Aunt Lie was very annoyed at Li Yao, if it wasn't for Li Yao's instigation back then, how could Yam have fallen?If she hadn't repented later, her life would have been ruined!
So she was in a daze until she heard Li Yao's conviction before giving up.
But when Li Yao saw that he had failed to bite Song Yuyan, he realized that Song Yuyan was no longer the brat he knew!He also regretted it very much. He shouldn't have listened to people's instigation back then. He felt that Song Yuyan was still the easy-to-control kid he knew back then!
The reason why he sneaked into the Tang family was because of the rumor that "Song Yuyan's green bamboo carvings are worth five thousand yuan".
Last time he went to Song Yuyan to get some benefits, but unfortunately he didn't succeed.Later Mingzhou became chaotic, and he also joined the rebellious team under "desperation", specializing in robbing passing wealthy businessmen.
However, as the civil unrest was quelled, he could only flee around.He had been hiding in Cixi for five months, and he had been hiding in Tibet. Then he heard about this rumor recently, so he was thinking of looting money and retaliating.
However, the wall of the Song family was too high, and he was not sure how to climb over it.
At this time, someone told him that there were many ways to deal with Song Yuyan, and Song Yuyan had a sweetheart, that was Tang Zhi who helped Song Yuyan hit him with a pole.
The Tang family is currently arranging Tang Dianshi's marriage, so the bride price is at home, and stealing things from the Tang family can also make a fortune.In the end, the Tang family only had two female relatives at home, so he could take the opportunity to humiliate them, which would definitely make Song Yuyan feel so much pain.
After thinking about it, Li Yao realized that the walls of the Tang family were indeed much lower, which made it easier to get in. Anyway, he was already wanted, so why would he be afraid of death? !So I observed it for half a month, and finally picked a night when everyone fell asleep to start.
But after half a month of observation, he was ready to kill the dog before it barked, but he never thought that Tang Zhi would set up a trap at home!
County Magistrate Ning asked, "What's the name of the person who told you this?"
"Chen hate."
Ning Zhi asked people to go to the government office of Mingzhou to check the household registration, but the person who came back said that he could not find this person.
Li Yao cursed secretly: "That kid actually used a fake identity to deceive people! He usually covers his head with a sweat towel, and later I found out that he should have committed some crimes. He has a picture behind his ear!"
Although the scope was reduced all of a sudden, Li Yao knew nothing about "Chen Hen" other than that. It can be seen that "Chen Hen" is also a very cautious person. Li Yao caught something.
The reason why this matter was not tried, Ning Zhi even suspected that Li Yao didn't want to die, so he fabricated a person, as long as this person has not been arrested, the government will not execute him for a day.
Then Ning Zhi handed him over to the state government office, and the state government office quickly finished the trial of the case, regardless of whether the person he identified existed or not, he should be executed according to the law.
_____
Li Yao was executed more than a month after Song Yuyan returned from the yamen.
When she returned to the Song family, she really felt that the god of death had left.If she hadn't worked so hard to build a reputation for herself over the years, this time she might still end up the same as the original owner in her previous life.
Tang Zhi also pondered for a long time on the way back, and then said: "Fortunately, you don't do stupid things anymore, otherwise I can't even imagine that when you arrive at the yamen today, there will be so many people testifying for you."
It was rare for Tang Zhi to recall Song Dalang, and she thought, if it was Song Dalang who was standing in the courtroom for interrogation today, maybe the ending would not be so happy.
She even felt that all of this seemed to be a hidden arrangement, an opportunity for Song Dalang to have a different life.
Song Yuyan was stunned when she heard her words, and then smiled: "There will be, and Miss Tang, right?"
Of course, the difference between having the Internet and not having the Internet is that news like this spreads more widely in the Internet age, and at this moment, the Liuqing Bamboo Carving about Lufang is only spread in Mingzhou.
For many people, they don't know how to appreciate the art of bamboo carving, so they don't understand why four pieces of bamboo can be sold at a high price that is enough for half a year's income. People talk more about the five thousand yuan.

"I also know that once I passed by Jinchuan Township, I saw that Song Dalang's house was completely remodeled. They used green bricks and green tiles, not to mention how beautiful it is!"
Song Yuyan, who happened to hear these people muttering: "..."

Besides, there were not even a few decent pieces of furniture in the room, so she didn't understand how such rumors came about.

Song Yuyan: "???"
Cake, does this have Stockholm Syndrome?That would be a headache.
Song Yuyan bent down, put his hands on his knees, looked at Xiaoluotou at the same level, and asked, "Tell Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Bing'er cried aggrievedly: "Brother, don't leave, okay, isn't this your home?"
"Who said I was leaving?"
Little Luobotou couldn't control her tears to stop when she started crying. Song Yuyan didn't urge her, but just wiped her tears away. When she recovered, she repaired Song Yuyan's "real" home she had heard. The words were repeated.
Song Yuyan was silent for a moment when he heard the words.She almost forgot that Binger's age was the most sensitive and vulnerable to external influences.Even if no one said that she would leave here, words like "This is not Song Dalang's home, Song Dalang's home has been built" would send her a message that Song Yuyan would return to her real home.
Little Luobotou was worried that she would leave them behind, that's why she was so worried, worried that what she did would dissatisfy Song Yuyan, and Song Yuyan really didn't care about her and Sun'er.
When her biological mother Wu Shi left, although she was still young, she did not forget things. That scene has been engraved deep in her memory, and she can no longer accept being abandoned by someone she trusts and relies on.
Not only her, but Sun'er also felt the same confusion, it's just that his emotions are more restrained now, and he didn't show the tension and sadness brought about by the rumors.

"Really?" Bing'er stopped crying, but she couldn't breathe for a while, so she sobbed.
"You don't even believe in elder brother? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. You should always believe in your elder sister Tang. I have a letter for her here. You can send it to her. Just ask her by the way."
Bing'er took the letter, and suddenly became happy—she had never liked to run errands for her elder brother so much as at this moment!
When she ran away in a hurry, Song Yuyan turned around and saw Sun'er standing by the door looking at her, then hummed: "It's true to ask Sister Tang if it's fake, and let Binger run errands!"

Then hurriedly slipped back into the room.
Song Yuyan said: "Okay, I can control myself from saying something that hurts people's hearts. I have made great progress. But when can you be more honest, admit that you like me as a big brother, and rely on me as a big brother, it will be better."
"You're still shameless." Sun'er sprayed her at the window.
Then, he ran out again and asked, "Then what's the deal with building a house?"
"The patriarch saw that your elder brother has contributed to the clan, so he helped me repair the house, and I will go back to Jinchuan Township to do business in the future, so I won't have nowhere to stay. So, you should study hard, and if you can also contribute to the clan in the future , maybe the clan will help repair this house too!"
Sun'er looked at her for a while, and then he felt a little more at ease. He said, "Master said that I need to discuss with you about Shu Xiu, so I want to see you."
Song Yuyan wondered if Sun'er's tuition would go up, right?Sure enough, there is no uniform standard for private school fees.
"A parent meeting, right? I know."
Sun'er: "...the master said he would come over."
"We've all visited home, so it's not just Shu Xiu's business, right?"
"How do I know?" Sun'er said and went back to the house.

On the other side, Binger sent a letter to Tang Zhi, Tang Zhi saw her face was as dirty as a little cat, and she was still twitching, so he knew that she had just finished crying.
Tang Zhi felt that this was really strange. Although this little luobotou used to cry when she was wronged, there were not many things that could make her really feel wronged in the past two years. Occasionally crying was also fake crying. I cried, and cried very sadly.
While wiping her face, Tang Zhi asked her why she was crying.After listening to her intermittent speech, Tang Zhi didn't take her reaction as a child's innocence, but answered her seriously, "She has always been a very responsible elder brother, she never thought of abandoning you before, let alone now. meeting."
Tang Zhi also knew about the fact that the clan helped Song Yuyan repair the old house, and it was Song Yuyan who took the initiative to inform him.At that time, she was also worried that Song Yuyan would move back to Jinchuan Township, but later Song Yuyan said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't intend to move, but I just thought that there are some things that I should let you know."
Tang Zhi realized that what Song Yuyan meant was that she regarded her as a family, so some things were considered their "family affairs" and both parties should know about them.She blushed with shame at that time, and secretly muttered, "I'm not even married yet!"
……
"Big brother won't want us like mother?" Bing'er asked again.
Tang Zhi came back to his senses, his nose was sore when he heard this.She hugged the little carrot, and said, "Bai'er is so obedient and sensible, how could she be willing to abandon you?"
"Then I will practice calligraphy and learn to draw hard in the future, so as not to disappoint my elder brother."
The misunderstanding this time really stimulated Pancake, so Song Yuyan didn't see her being lazy for a long time, although sometimes she would steal some preserved fruit from somewhere while she was reading.Seeing that it didn't affect her enthusiasm for reading, Song Yuyan turned a blind eye.
But for Song Yuyan, the troubles caused by the five thousand dollars were not over yet.
One night, it was already three o'clock, she had just finished counting the accounts at home, and was lying on the bed ready to go to sleep, but suddenly heard a cry of pain from outside, she immediately turned up from the bed, grabbed the bamboo knife at home , quietly standing by the door.
Then Song Yuyan heard the familiar barking sound of a dog. She thought for a while, isn't that the Tang family's dog, Xiao Huang, barking? !
She immediately led her little black, opened the door and ran out. A black shadow happened to run past the door. She didn't know whether to chase the shadow or go to Tang's house first.
After a while, she decided to go to the Tang's house first, because the dogs barking and howling at the Tang's house still didn't stop.
Neighbors were also woken up, and they all went to the door to ask what was going on.And Song Yuyan had already come to Tang's house, and anxiously knocked on the door of Tang's house, "Miss Tang, Tang Zhi, answer me."
Terrible thoughts such as "burglary", "killing and stealing goods" flashed in her mind, the more she thought about it, the more hurried she knocked on the door.
"What's going on?" Someone surrounded and patted on the Tang family's door with Song Yuyan.
They could probably guess what happened. There must be something wrong with the Tang family when there are strange voices coming out of the Tang family at such a late hour.There are only two weak women in the Tang family now, and it is likely that something happened.
After a while, Tang Zhi hurried to open the door, Song Yuyan grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tang Zhi held the oil lamp in one hand, and was held by her in the other, feeling ashamed, warm and at ease in his heart.
She shook her head: "I'm fine. I woke up when I heard Xiao Huang calling me. I was afraid that the thief would enter the room, so I hid in the room and didn't dare to open the door until I heard your voice."
Song Yuyan nodded and ran in, and the neighbors who were watching followed her into Tang's house.
Because of the large number of people, the lights illuminated a corner of the Tang family's courtyard brightly. At a glance, everyone saw the man sitting on the ground holding his feet and weeping bitterly. At his feet was a row of very scary spikes. Vaguely stained with black and red blood.
Song Yuyan didn't have time to look at the situation of the tooth nail. Her eyes fell on the man, and her eyes suddenly turned cold: "Li Yao, you dare to show up!"
At the beginning of the year, Tang Haogen told her that Li Yao had participated in the civil unrest, and the majority of the civil unrest forces had been dismantled by the government, only some people were still fleeing, and Li Yao fled back to Cixi to hide.
It has been several months now, and she has gradually forgotten about this matter and this person. Unexpectedly, sisters Tang Zhi and Tang Ye almost had an accident in his hands!
Tang Zhi also leaned over in surprise. She didn't remember that she had provoked Li Yao... If she had, it was the time when she helped Song Yuyan out.But how long ago were those old grievances, and he only came to take revenge now?
"What is this? My feet hurt so much, I'm about to die!" Li Yao was in pain.
Although the wall of Tang's house was not as high as that of Song's house, so when he climbed over the wall, he jumped directly from above, but it was a good thing he didn't jump. After jumping, the spikes went straight through the straw sandals, piercing his feet.
Everyone was shocked to see it, but Tang Zhi was glad that she hadn't dismantled the trap Song Yuyan had set for her because it was safe and sound.It's really broken, maybe Xiao Huang was killed before he found him - she saw the big knife in Li Yao's hand, compared to the hatchet used for chopping wood, this is a real weapon!
Ordinary people have no chance to own such weapons at all, and with Li Yao's status as a fugitive, Tang Zhi and Song Yuyan can probably guess where his weapons come from.
"You are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of pain?" Song Yuyan said.
Li Yao was so stimulated by her that he wanted to get up reluctantly and slash her with a knife.But Song Yuyan let go of Xiao Hei's rope, although Xiao Hei was usually as gentle and docile as Song Yuyan, but it was also a black dog that could wink, and now it barked at Li Yao.
Xiao Huang from the Tang family was also barking, the two dogs barked together, and Xiao Hei showed signs of attacking him, which made him flinch in fright.
"Get out!" Li Yao threatened the two dogs.
Song Yuyan took the opportunity to ask someone to help him tie him up. Although he had a knife on his body, he was injured, so everyone rushed forward, and he had no room to resist.
Patrol officers and soldiers rushed over soon after hearing the movement, and Li Yao was taken away by the government just like that.
Everyone still couldn't figure out why Li Yao wanted to attack the Tang family. In terms of grievances, the grievances between him and Song Yuyan were much greater, right?If you want to talk about money, the Tang family doesn't look very rich, does it?The only possibility is that he covets the two young ladies of the Tang family.
They should be rejoicing again: "Fortunately, the Tang family installed a trap under the courtyard wall, otherwise it would be hard to say tonight's innocence."
"Hey, why didn't I think of setting up a trap, let's see who dares to come to my house to steal things in the future!" Someone said.
"Come on, those things in your house are worthless, who would steal your things!"
"I have two daughters at home!"
……
They talked a lot, but this matter did not fade away after Li Yao was arrested, because this kind of burglary also occurred in Xingxianfang, so the people here closed their doors early at night, and bought another Only the dog went back to raise it-they had no traps, so they had to keep dogs.
Song Yuyan didn't care what other people's families were like. After thinking about it, she thought that the walls of the Tang family were still a little short. Although the traps could deter many people with bad intentions, there was no guarantee that they would not avoid those traps. The walls of the Tang family were also built higher.
Tang Haogen naturally agreed with this decision.When he learned that his sister was about to have an accident, he immediately asked for leave and came back, and went to the yamen every day to see the results of the treatment.
As a result, he found out that after preliminary interrogation in the yamen, Li Yao also admitted his crimes. Since he had participated in the rebellion, the government asked him to confess those accomplices who fled.
He grabbed and bit Song Yuyan in the courtroom, and said: "Song Yuyan, he has done a lot of sneaky things in the past, the Ming government can't let him go!"
Now the county magistrate of Cixi is not Pang County magistrate, because Pang County magistrate passed the exam smoothly, so he was transferred in March.The county magistrate here is called Ning Zhi. As the name suggests, he is very upright.After learning what Song Yuyan had done, he had someone summon her and planned to interrogate her.
Song Yuyan got the news first, she didn't have any messy thoughts, but suddenly realized who the original owner was really implicated in the previous life.
The original owner always thought that she was implicated because Meng Shuituan had persuaded her to join the gang, and later she was in contact with Meng Shuituan again.But all of this was what she had guessed after seeing Meng Shuituan being arrested.In fact, there are many people who have committed more serious crimes than Meng Shuituan, such as Li Yao.
The original owner didn't have time to discover the truth until she died, so that she helped Meng Shuituan get rid of the fate of her previous life in order not to be implicated by Meng Shuituan.Later, she cut off contact with those cronies, and at the same time gradually changed other people's views on the original owner, and improved her reputation. In this way, the government can't just believe in other people's one-sided words, right?
It's a pity that the new county magistrate didn't know who Song Yuyan was or what she was like. He could only get the image of a notorious and depraved scoundrel from Li Yao's mouth.
After Song Yuyan figured it out, he went to the Yamen calmly.
Tang Zhi asked Tang Ye to keep an eye on the bamboo shoots and cakes at home, while he himself had to go to the Yamen.
Originally, Tang Zhi was worried that the government wanted to question Song Yuyan, but after they went to the back office, they realized that the magistrate of Nanning was easy to talk to. Although he had some preconceived notions about Song Yuyan, he would not only listen to what Li Yao said. , but asked people to go to Xingxianfang in disguise to inquire about Song Yuyan's reputation.
The neighbors in Xingxianfang didn't know the identities of these people, and thought that Song Yuyan had befriended some high-ranking officials and wealthy households, so they naturally praised Song Yuyan like a flower.
Ning Zhi's people were at a loss when they heard two completely different opinions: "Didn't you say that he is a rascal with a lot of bad records?"
The neighbors said: "What nonsense! Song Dalang has always been a very positive person. In order to support his two younger brothers and sisters, he weaved straw mats and baskets, and his hands were blistered. How can such a down-to-earth person Empty to do things like stealing chickens and dogs?!"
Ning Zhi's person: "..."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Then, would you like to go to the Yamen and repeat what you just said?"
As soon as everyone heard about the yamen, they felt a little apprehensive, and then they heard about Li Yao's testimony against Song Yuyan, and they immediately scolded Li Yao angrily: "This Li Yao is not a good person, he used to bully Song Dalang so hard, but later Seeing that the situation at Song Dalang's family improved a little, he came to blackmail Song Dalang. If Song Dalang didn't give him money, he wronged Song Yuyan."
Later, a vegetable farmer who had been favored by Song Yuyan volunteered to testify for Song Yuyan. When others heard it, they felt that Li Yao had committed a rebellion and would die sooner or later. Why should they worry that they would be retaliated by Li Yao for speaking up for Song Yuyan?So I have to follow along to join in the fun.
Qi Ru, who happened to be here for a home visit, learned of this, hurriedly ran back to the county school, and told Lu Fang's fanboy, Zhao Xi, about it. People, how can you allow a thief to slander?! I'm going to rectify Fang Lu's name!"
Sun'er also ran to inform Aunt Lie, and Aunt Lie closed the shop directly, leading Song Bing and the staff directly to the yamen.
In addition to the literati who had contacts with Song Yuyan...the number of people who came to the county government suddenly increased.
Originally, there were only some ordinary people in the area where the county government was watching, but after this group of people came, it became as lively and crowded as a vegetable market.
When Ning Zhi heard that these were the people who were going to testify for Song Yuyan, he was speechless—he seemed to have underestimated Song Yuyan's popularity?
But since this incident, he has slowly changed his preconceived notions about Song Yuyan. The only way to get the support of so many people is to have the wealth and power to tempt others to give false testimony. Unfortunately, as far as he knows, Song Yuyan and the two It doesn't matter, so the biggest possibility is that she has a good character and has done many good things, so she can get the support of others.
In contrast, Li Yao, who revealed all the bad things Song Yuyan had done, only had verbal testimony, but no evidence.What's more, the people didn't dare to testify for Song Yuyan because they were afraid of his revenge at the beginning. It can be seen how bad his character is, and his words are not credible.
Therefore, the Yamen's trial of Song Yuyan did not need to involve the intervention of judicial officials at all. She was equivalent to going to the Yamen to cooperate with the Yamen's investigation of Li Yao.
Aunt Lie was very annoyed at Li Yao, if it wasn't for Li Yao's instigation back then, how could Yam have fallen?If she hadn't repented later, her life would have been ruined!
So she was in a daze until she heard Li Yao's conviction before giving up.
But when Li Yao saw that he had failed to bite Song Yuyan, he realized that Song Yuyan was no longer the brat he knew!He also regretted it very much. He shouldn't have listened to people's instigation back then. He felt that Song Yuyan was still the easy-to-control kid he knew back then!
The reason why he sneaked into the Tang family was because of the rumor that "Song Yuyan's green bamboo carvings are worth five thousand yuan".
Last time he went to Song Yuyan to get some benefits, but unfortunately he didn't succeed.Later Mingzhou became chaotic, and he also joined the rebellious team under "desperation", specializing in robbing passing wealthy businessmen.
However, as the civil unrest was quelled, he could only flee around.He had been hiding in Cixi for five months, and he had been hiding in Tibet. Then he heard about this rumor recently, so he was thinking of looting money and retaliating.
However, the wall of the Song family was too high, and he was not sure how to climb over it.
At this time, someone told him that there were many ways to deal with Song Yuyan, and Song Yuyan had a sweetheart, that was Tang Zhi who helped Song Yuyan hit him with a pole.
The Tang family is currently arranging Tang Dianshi's marriage, so the bride price is at home, and stealing things from the Tang family can also make a fortune.In the end, the Tang family only had two female relatives at home, so he could take the opportunity to humiliate them, which would definitely make Song Yuyan feel so much pain.
After thinking about it, Li Yao realized that the walls of the Tang family were indeed much lower, which made it easier to get in. Anyway, he was already wanted, so why would he be afraid of death? !So I observed it for half a month, and finally picked a night when everyone fell asleep to start.
But after half a month of observation, he was ready to kill the dog before it barked, but he never thought that Tang Zhi would set up a trap at home!
County Magistrate Ning asked, "What's the name of the person who told you this?"
"Chen hate."
Ning Zhi asked people to go to the government office of Mingzhou to check the household registration, but the person who came back said that he could not find this person.
Li Yao cursed secretly: "That kid actually used a fake identity to deceive people! He usually covers his head with a sweat towel, and later I found out that he should have committed some crimes. He has a picture behind his ear!"
Although the scope was reduced all of a sudden, Li Yao knew nothing about "Chen Hen" other than that. It can be seen that "Chen Hen" is also a very cautious person. Li Yao caught something.
The reason why this matter was not tried, Ning Zhi even suspected that Li Yao didn't want to die, so he fabricated a person, as long as this person has not been arrested, the government will not execute him for a day.
Then Ning Zhi handed him over to the state government office, and the state government office quickly finished the trial of the case, regardless of whether the person he identified existed or not, he should be executed according to the law.
_____
Li Yao was executed more than a month after Song Yuyan returned from the yamen.
When she returned to the Song family, she really felt that the god of death had left.If she hadn't worked so hard to build a reputation for herself over the years, this time she might still end up the same as the original owner in her previous life.
Tang Zhi also pondered for a long time on the way back, and then said: "Fortunately, you don't do stupid things anymore, otherwise I can't even imagine that when you arrive at the yamen today, there will be so many people testifying for you."
It was rare for Tang Zhi to recall Song Dalang, and she thought, if it was Song Dalang who was standing in the courtroom for interrogation today, maybe the ending would not be so happy.
She even felt that all of this seemed to be a hidden arrangement, an opportunity for Song Dalang to have a different life.
Song Yuyan was stunned when she heard her words, and then smiled: "There will be, and Miss Tang, right?"
