poor family young gentleman

Whether the smashed vase is really worth 5000 taels is basically meaningless. The thing is already broken, let alone 5000 taels, even if the other party says 1 taels, it should be compensated. His background is also very important. After all, Wancheng is just an ordinary farmer. He only goes out to find something to do when the family is not busy. His background is so simple. Who would smash a vase worth 5000 taels to frame him?Regardless of the true value of the vase, the design alone is puzzling enough.

An hour later, around Shen o'clock in the afternoon, the carriage driven by Tie Zhu appeared outside the prison of the county government.

"Huanyang, Chuntao, you stay in the carriage to take care of the children, and I will go with Huzi."

After all, it is the place of the government, and the emperor just announced the death of the eldest prince. Who knows if anyone here will recognize Yin Huanyang, ignore his pitiful little eyes, and get out of the car with Huzi after Feng Jiye finished speaking.

"Tie Zhu, you stay too."

"Ah."

Tie Zhu, who was about to put down his whip to join them, sat back again when he heard the words, and then Feng Jiye walked towards the door of the cell with Huzi.

"Stop! This is the county government prison, retreat quickly!"

Unsurprisingly, the two of them were stopped by the guards outside. Feng Jiye quietly gave Huzi a wink, implying that he should not move. He took out a silver ingot of at least five taels and slipped it into one of the guards. "Brother Cha, we are from the same village as Wancheng, who was sent here last night because he smashed the vase of the master's house. There are old and young in his family, and his wife and daughter-in-law can't get away, so we are specially asked to come here." Take a look at him, please send elder brother to make it easier for you."

"It turned out to be that person, okay, you go in, but the time should not be too long, just come out after you have a look."

Secretly weighed the amount of money, the jailer was obviously satisfied, and what they wanted to see was not some serious criminal, so they withdrew their weapons to make way for them without much thought.

"Thank you, Brother Cha!"

Feng Jiye clasped his fists at them with smiles all over his face. Together with Huzi and Huzi, he followed a guard leading the way into the cell. The further he walked in, the darker the light, the heavy humidity, and mottled marks on the walls. , but this is just an ordinary cell of the county government. It is impossible to compare with the cell of Dongxi Factory in terms of size and other aspects. Soon the jailer brought them to a cell.

"Wancheng, someone is here to see you."

The jailer knocked on the cell door with the hilt of his knife, drawing the attention of Wancheng who was curled up in the corner, then turned around and said in a vicious voice, "Hurry up, make a long story short."

After finishing speaking, they couldn't respond, and the jailer walked away directly.

"Jiye? Huzi? Why are you here?"

Recognizing them by the faint light from the air vent, Wancheng rushed over excitedly with a tired expression, and Huzi quickly held his hand: "Uncle Cheng, don't worry, Erwa asked us to come and see you, you at home Don't worry, they're all fine."

"Really? As long as they're fine, as long as they're fine."

Wancheng's shoulders collapsed, and he murmured in despair. From last night until now, he has been afraid that those people will seek compensation from his family members. As long as they are fine, it doesn't matter if he spends his life with them. The children have grown up, one can support the family, and the other can help take care of the family. Even if life is harder, they can still survive.

"Uncle Cheng, we will rescue you."

It was obvious at a glance that he was hopeless, Feng Jiye said in a deep voice, it is one thing to have opinions on Erwa, but another to save others, he clearly distinguishes them.

"real?!"

Wancheng raised his head reflexively, but the sky-high compensation of 5000 taels of silver quickly extinguished the light in his eyes, and Wancheng waved his hand in frustration: "No, no need, Jiye, Huzi, you have the heart , I am very happy to come and see me, 5000 taels of silver is not a small amount, so don’t run away for me, as long as they don’t hurt my family, I will pay them this.”

Regardless of whether they can raise money or not, even if they do, what should the family give back to them?Even if they let their family live without food or drink, they still can't afford it.

"Let's not talk about it, Uncle Cheng, how could you break such a precious vase in the master's house? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be able to touch it, right?"

Glancing at Hu Zi, Feng Jiye changed the subject directly, it was meaningless to talk about it any further, and that was not the main purpose of their coming here.

"I don't know either. I'm completely confused until now."

Painful and irritable, Wancheng said one after another: "Usually, what I do for the master's family is rough and tiring work that the servants in the mansion don't want to do. After doing this for so long, I don't even have a housekeeper. I have seen it a few times. Yesterday, someone suddenly asked me to help move some things. This kind of thing often happens, and I didn’t think about it too much. The box is not very big and not heavy. At that time, I wondered why they didn’t let Fuchu The next person moved, on the way I followed that person to move the box to the main courtyard, I seemed to step on a round stone, and then the box flew out. When I realized it, they said that I smashed the value A vase of 5000 taels of silver, 5000 taels of silver, country people like us can’t earn that much money in a lifetime, I was so frightened that I couldn’t even stand upright, let alone defend myself, in the end I was sent here."

Wan Cheng's mood was obviously chaotic and excited, and his words were not very coherent, but it was enough for Feng Jiye and the two to figure out the whole ins and outs.

"Who is that person who told you to carry the boxes? Have you ever seen him in the mansion?"

He knew what had happened, but he still hadn't found the key, although he was more sure that Wancheng must have been framed.

Looking up at him, Wancheng shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen him before, but he is wearing the clothes of the servant of the Chen family. He looks about 20 years old, so he should be from the Chen family."

"Are you sure you stepped on a round rock and not something else?"

For example, wooden beads and so on, rich people have strict rules, and generally the aisles are cleaned up. Even if there are stones, they should not be round enough to make people slippery. This is especially doubtful.

"I…"

Wancheng tried hard to think back, but he was in a daze at the time, how could he have the time to care if the slippery stone was really a stone?He only knew that the touch at that time was very round, and it should be round.

"It's fine if you can't remember. There is another question. Uncle Cheng, have you offended anyone while you were helping there during this time? Think about it carefully. It doesn't have to be the person who had a fierce conflict with you, it may be you Someone who offended him, even he didn't know."

If they could find that person, maybe they could save 5000 taels of silver, and he wouldn't have to go to Lingnan Mansion to sell ginseng.

"No."

This time Wancheng answered quite positively: "I don't talk much except for work, so how could I offend people?"

"is it?"

If he didn't offend anyone, how could the other party spend so much time designing him?

Feng Jiye put his hands on his chest and stroked his chin back and forth. What is the crux of the problem?

"It's almost time, you should go."

The jailer who left not long ago returned again, urging them to leave impatiently, Feng Jiye immediately had a smile on his face: "Alright brother, please let us have one last word."

"Uncle Cheng, what is the family name of the person you are helping? Where is the mansion located?"

Faced with the jailer's impatience, Feng Jiye asked in person.

"The main family's surname is Chen, and it's a big family in Tongyang County. The mansion is just over there in Beicheng."

"Okay, then let's go first and see you next time."

After getting the answer he wanted, Feng Jiye no longer blamed the jailer, turned around and prepared to take Huzi away, Wancheng grabbed the iron bars with both hands and shouted: "Jiye, Huzi, tell your aunt, I It's okay, let her not worry and take care of the family."

"Ah."

Turning around and nodding his head, Feng Jiye started walking again.

"Brother Cha, Wancheng is also a poor person, please take care of me when delivering the food."

After leaving the cell, before leaving, Feng Jiye took out another five liang of silver and handed it over. These people are all looking at money for business, and immediately smiled: "No problem, my brothers can't do anything else, let him It’s okay to eat and drink enough, you two don’t worry.”

"Then I would like to thank you, big brothers."

After clasping his fists at them politely, Feng Jiye turned and left.

"Brother Ye, how are you? Is Uncle Cheng okay?"

Tie Zhu who was sitting outside greeted him excitedly. Although they had some complaints about Er Wa, his father was innocent, and Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng had treated them well in the past.

"Let's talk about it later, go to welcome the guest house."

Feng Jiye climbed into the carriage while talking, and Huzi who followed behind silently patted Tie Zhu on the shoulder. It can be said that they didn't gain anything from this trip, and they even paid ten taels of silver.

"Night night..."

"Brother Ye..."

"Stop, I know what you want to ask, let Huzi tell you, I want to think about other things."

Seeing him, Yin Huanyang and Chuntao couldn't help but both opened their mouths. Feng Jiye stopped them first, sat in the back of the carriage and closed his eyes to meditate. Afterwards, Huzi who came in briefly explained the matter. It's not pretty, Wancheng provided them with too little information, and there was nothing to check.

"Brother Ye, the guest house has arrived."

Yingkeju is not far from the county government office, and the traffic in the city in the afternoon is not as much as in the morning. The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of Yingkeju. Feng Jiye opened his eyes and took them out of the carriage one after another. The waiter who recognized Tie Zhu warmly greeted them and took their carriage away.

"Feng Shaojun? Why are you here at this time?"

Seeing them, shopkeeper Yang was a little surprised. After all, they used to come in the morning, and this was the first time he saw them in the afternoon.

"There is something I want to trouble shopkeeper Yang by the way. I don't know if it's convenient?"

With a smile on his face, Feng Jiye came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't intend to be polite to him. After all, they have been in contact for four months, right?

"Whether it's convenient or not, as long as you can help Shang Shaojun, please come with me."

They still hope that he will think more about a few dishes and come out. He will definitely help if he can, but thanks to him, there are many guests in the welcoming house. Even in the afternoon, it is definitely inconvenient to talk outside. After giving some instructions, he decisively led them to the back box.

"Brother Ye, let's not go in, shall we?"

Thinking that he was here to borrow money, Huzi and the others didn't follow directly into the box. After all, borrowing money is not an honorable thing, they were afraid that Brother Ye would lose face.

"All come in."

Feng Jiye didn't bother to explain to them, he just dropped three words indifferently, Huzi and the others looked at each other, but finally followed in.
