Liang Zijun was arrested suddenly, everyone had to worry about being frightened and messed up.

Fortunately, Liang Boda was calm when things happened. Seeing that the third brother was panicked, he hurriedly comforted him, "Don't panic, the third brother. I don't think there will be a big problem. The most important thing is to pay the food. Now the victims have just passed, and there are many villages affected by the disaster. I want to come here." It’s also because our family is too eye-catching, so it’s the way of the thieves. It’s actually no harm if the food is confiscated, it’s just an excuse to avoid the limelight.”

Hearing the elder brother's persuasion, Liang Pakcang took a deep breath to calm down his impatience.

Recently, several thorny tenants have frequently come to the door to test, and there is already a faint sign of robbing. If the imperial court does not wait for disaster relief after the next year, I am afraid that they will really be forced to open warehouses to "release grain".

At that time, if the hungry people break into the granary by force, with the current staff at home, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop it at all.When the time comes, they will be smashed, not to mention food, and these items in the house will lose hundreds of taels of silver.

People often say that a broken family is worth tens of thousands, but it is also true.Pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches, which ones do not need to spend money on?What's more, although the Liang family's utensils are not expensive, they are much more expensive than ordinary household items.

After all, if you don’t have three or five hundred taels, you don’t want to add everything.Instead of bringing the victims to their homes, it is better to hand them over to the government. It is also disaster relief, and the final destination of the food is nothing more than the affected villages.

The grain is insignificant compared with the house, but it is a pity that these life-saving grains cannot be used on the tenants, and it is for nothing that Hezhi County has taken credit for it.

After discussing the countermeasures, the Liang family got busy with their own work. Chen Qing felt a little uneasy. If it was really because of grain storage, it would be easy to understand, but maybe it was because of other things.Now it will be more than half a month until the New Year's Eve, if it is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that Zijun will have to spend the New Year's Eve in prison.

Liang Zijun has accumulated power in the county for a long time, if he said that he has not offended anyone, Chen Qing would be the first to believe it!Who told this guy to do something that people hate?It is estimated that there are seven or eight people who have had grudges with him.

This time, who is behind the scenes, Chen Qing can't guess and can't deal with it. Right now, the only way to find out the reason is to prescribe the right medicine.

All the courtyards of the Liang family confiscated their belongings one after another. All the things that should be collected and hidden, all the slightly valuable things were moved to the hidden cellar, and only half-worn bedding and dishes that were not worth a little money were left on the surface.

After returning the granary, Chen Qing hurried to the county to inquire about the news.

As soon as I arrived at the other courtyard, I was frightened by the government's seal, but I didn't realize that things were so difficult that the real estate would be seized, damn it!This He Zhixian's hands and feet are too fast!

Chen Qing was puzzled, if he wanted to seal it up, why didn't he seal up the old house but only seal up the other courtyard purchased by the county?Hiding in the corner of the street, Chen Qing turned his back to avoid the hurried officials, and hurried to find Liang Ji.

It cost a little money to ask the noodle shop clerk to call Liu Hengshan. Chen Qing saw Uncle Liu approaching secretly, and before he could speak, he winked and turned away.

Chen Qing followed, until he turned to a remote alley, before he dared to ask someone for the truth.

From Liu Hengshan Pass, I learned that the county magistrate not only sealed Zijun's other courtyard, but also went to Liang Ji to interrogate him wantonly.Thanks to Wan Da's shopkeeper, he insisted that this cloth shop has nothing to do with Mr. Liang, and that Liang Ji's owner has someone else, who is from the provincial capital.

The purpose of ordering this early in the morning was to prevent the children of the aristocratic family from making excuses to pay on credit, but this time it was really wrong, and it happened to preserve the business of the cloth workshop.

When he heard that Hezhi County had also sealed up Wanle Zhai and Liaoji Bank, Chen Qing's heart sank suddenly, and he secretly thought that something had happened...

Just by the fact that these two families have suffered one after another, one can guess that this place must be related to the smuggling issue.At the beginning, he was afraid that leaking the news would lead to death, so he specifically asked Liang Zijun to withdraw the capital immediately.

Unexpectedly, even if they withdrew, they would still inevitably end up being convicted together.

Smuggling and entrainment is no small matter, and once the incident is revealed, the charges are not small.As far as Chen Qing knows, Daxia is extremely strict with overseas smuggling. Once discovered, the light ones will be sent to the army for corvee service, and the serious ones will be beheaded and family members will be beheaded.

Thinking about coming to Hezhi County, he was also concerned about Liang Zijun's fame, so he didn't seal up the old house, and only dared to invite people to interrogate him.The Liao family, on the other hand, did not have the protection of fame and fame. Not only was their property sealed, but the entire family was imprisoned.

Li Shoucai was lucky to escape the catastrophe because he closed his shop early and went to Beijing to avoid disaster. However, his property and ancestral home were also sealed off one after another, and all the servants who should guard the property were sent to prison. The court sent people to arrest him.

Chen Qing knew in his heart that he would have to ask Jingli's staff for this matter. Even if he had Liao Fanzhi's handwritten evidence as proof, he would inevitably be branded as a major suspect.

After all, he successfully participated in two transactions. Even if he avoided the third case, there was no actual evidence to prove his innocence. Who can guarantee that the first two cases were not smuggled?If you want to track it down, it is not difficult to find out that Liang Zijun was involved from the very beginning.

The only way to save Liang Zijun right now is to ask Liao Fanzhi to fight the crime.As long as he is willing to plead guilty, the matter of killing Liang Zijun has nothing to do with him. He and Li Shoucai only participated in the trafficking and did not know about the entrainment.In this way, Liang Zijun is not guilty if he doesn't know, so that he can be cleared of the suspicion.

The guards were all staffed by Liao Ji. Liang Zijun and Li Shoucai paid the money while the other received the goods. As for what contraband was included in it, these two did not know at all...

However, I was afraid that Liao Fanzhi would be a backer when he was about to die, and would not stand up to stand up to the tank, but dragged the two brothers to question the crime together.

After all, he was just starting this matter, and it was Liang Zijun and Li Shoucai who really made the final decision.

But why did the always cautious trio make such a big mistake this time?Besides being unlucky, could there be something else hidden?The spoils were not evenly distributed among the three, or was someone in Liao Jiren's hands taking advantage of the wealth and plotting to do something wrong?No matter what kind of speculation, you must first meet Liang Zijun before you can be sure.

When Chen Qing heard what he wanted to know, he hurriedly bid farewell to Uncle Liu, and hurried back to the old house to find Liang Zixian for discussion.

Sneaking back to the old house all the way to avoid people's eyes, the whole family was restless with sad faces. As soon as Chen Qing came in, Liang Zixian told him the news he had heard.

Taken together, the two are roughly the same.After learning of Chen Qing's conjecture, Zhao was so angry that he couldn't hold back his anger. This daring brat dared to do such an outrageously stupid thing!Smuggling is a serious crime that can be implicated. Not only will one's own head be lost, but the whole family will also be imprisoned.

"He's trying to kill the whole family! Woohoo... Naughty beast! Naughty beast! It's all my fault that I'm too used to him, that he dares to be so lawless..."

Mrs. Zhao was anxious, and had several mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of her. Chen Qing didn't have time to comfort her mother-in-law, so she calmly discussed the next matters with Liang Zixian.

If you want to get rid of the suspicion, you must talk to Liao Fanzhi first.Thinking about having the branch in Beijing as a guarantee, it is estimated that the relationship will not lead to beheading.

If the Liang family was willing to save the Liao family's family, it is estimated that Liao Fanzhi would agree to plead guilty.Neither he nor he could escape conviction, so Liao Fanzhi would not refuse this deal in exchange for one person in exchange for the whole family's imprisonment.

At this juncture, there is no need to take into account the villainous heart. Only by being fully prepared can the situation be resolved as soon as possible.

Liang Zixian was impressed by Chen Qing's boldness and carefulness, and he couldn't think of any other way, so he had to go out and spend money to arrange a prison visit.

Greed is human nature, even if the county magistrate makes repeated orders not to allow anyone to visit the prison, the Liang family's snowflakes of money can't stand it! The 1000 taels smashed down, finally smashed a gap in the iron-drum-like prison, and slipped into Chen Qing, a big mouse.

Up to the head of the prison, down to the pawns, as long as there are people, it is never monolithic.

As long as they are willing to pay money, they are also happy to let people in. Anyway, as long as it is not a prison robbery, the young couple can love each other inside.This kind of thing that is beneficial and can be an adult, the jailer is very merciless when he collects the money. Even if Liang and Liao are very likely to commit a felony, no one in this kind of place will have trouble with the money.

Chen Qing walked all the way, and the silver was like a stone, and he stuffed it when he saw it. When the jailer unlocked the cell, Chen Qing bowed politely and thanked him.

"The time is limited to one stick of incense~ Hurry up," the jailer gritted his big yellow teeth, and let out an impatient expression.Although it is said that the money was collected, it was released privately after all, and if something went wrong, it would be bad for him. If it wasn't for the sake of getting money, who would dare to do such a thing of losing his job?

What's more, Chen Qing is a brother visiting the prison. If it's a younger brother or a wife, they can still eavesdrop on the wall for fun. What fun can they have if a big man sneaks in?

Thinking about the money, the jailer strode away after unlocking the lock, happily thinking about which little lady he should find to relieve his boredom at night, if he had money, if he didn't go to the gentle cave for a while, he would be bored in this stinky prison cell It is impossible to be sick.

Chen Qing didn't put down the cloth bag in his hand until he was far away, then turned around and grabbed Liang who was hiding in the shadow.

Liang Zijun didn't wait for the scolding, and called "Daughter-in-law~" embarrassingly.

"Time is limited, I don't have time to spend with you, so hurry up and tell me what's going on? Could it be that the incident really didn't happen?" Chen Qing asked coldly, frowning.

Liang Zijun nodded with a bitter face, "I knew you would be able to guess... that, does everyone in the family know?"

Chen Qing rolled her eyes, and cursed helplessly, "You don't even need to guess? Don't worry about family members. Take care of yourself before you talk about it. Hurry up and talk about your plans, so I can go out and make plans as soon as possible."

Liang Zijun approached him with a playful smile and hugged him coquettishly, "I know that you are the most sensible daughter-in-law..."

"Get out! I don't have time to argue with you, I think..." Chen Qing hugged him, whispered his plan into his ear.

After Liang Zijun listened, he gave a thumbs up and boasted, "Daughter-in-law, you really love me! I planned to do so too, but don't worry, Liao Fanzhi will figure it out without discussing it. If he is convicted, he won't be able to escape. If you drag Brother Li and me into the water again, you only need to use the written evidence as evidence in court to clear the suspicion of the Lord, and besides..."

Chen Qing and Qing whispered for a while, and the sound of footsteps came from the end of the cell, and the jailer yelled from a long distance away, "Hurry up, the time has come..."

Chen Qing instructed him a few more words before turning around and bending over from the opened wooden fence. With the faint light, he saw Liang Zijun's neat and tidy clothes, and handed the jailer a 50 taels of silver note, begging in a low voice, "Please." You can buy some food and wine, it’s not easy to deal with the cold in this cold winter.”

The jailer quickly put the banknote into his pocket, immediately changed his impatience, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, he won't be hungry."

In the dark and damp prison, only an oil lamp barely illuminates the two-meter range. As the jailer leaves, the light fades away. Liang Zijun hides in the dark cell again, sighing at the moon through the palm-sized skylight.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, would also have a day of despair. He met his wife in prison for a tryst. I really felt something in my heart...

If a person stays in the dark for a long time, he can barely see in a seemingly pitch-black prison cell.

After fully adapting to the darkness, Liang Zijun gritted his teeth and changed his calm demeanor. He huddled against the wall with his toes in mind, and cursed ghostly, "Go, go, go... Damn, come and make do with me!...Damn it~ ~What a big cockroach!!!”

Mr. Liang was frightened by the fat rat and the gigantic reptile and screamed. If he hadn't collected the money, the jailer would have impatiently taught him with a whip. How could he still be laughing and listening to the excitement?

Any newcomer who just came in has to go through this experience, and after staying for a few days, he can get along with these little things in peace.

Chen Qing brought two changes of clothes for Liang Zijun, and added a quilt. With the clothes to keep out the cold, although it is not as comfortable as at home, there is no need to worry about frostbite.

Before leaving, he deliberately negotiated with the jailer to see if he could bring some items to Liao Fanzhi's family.

The jailer rolled his eyes round and round before he gritted his teeth and said in embarrassment, "To tell you the truth, the third master is only a suspect, and the young master Liao is a sure-fire criminal. No matter how brave we are, we dare not let you visit the prison, let alone detain a repeat criminal." The place is not so clean and tidy, where the prisoner is either a death row prisoner or a heinous person who has committed rape, murder and robbery, I am also afraid that you will be frightened if you go in."

"You're joking, what do I have to be afraid of as a man? As long as you dare to lead the way, we will definitely not treat you badly. I can see that you are also a kind person, so how innocent is Young Master Liao's family? Even if the case is finalized It's nothing more than the end of being a slave or selling corvee. Wouldn't it be unfair to be frozen to death or die of illness before being convicted? I just feel sorry for those wives," Chen Qing begged sincerely.

The jailer thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Well, I'll go find the way for you. It just so happens that I have an uncle who is the head of the prison. If I get the letter, I will definitely go find you."

"Success! Thank you very much." Chen Qing cupped his hands, to be sure, he still wanted to confirm with Liao Fanzhi himself.

Liang Zijun dared to make such an assertion, based on his friendship for many years and his understanding of Liao Fanzhi himself.Chen Qing did not dare to place all her bets on her trust in her friends. People's hearts are the most difficult thing to rely on at any time. It will change due to factors such as the passage of time and the development of the situation. In case Liao Fanzhi force Liang Zijun Get into the water, then it will be too late.

The reason why Chen Qing is so sure is also because Liao Fanzhi knows that there are people in the Liang family's capital. If he pulls Liang Zijun into the water, he might not be sure, it will alarm the people in the capital. When Liang Zijun is preserved, he will also be released without charge.

When it comes to the moment of life and death, no one will let go of the last straw, even if they know it is against human nature, they will not be able to restrain themselves from trying.

On the second day after being put in prison, the county magistrate interrogated the two criminals. The evidence presented by Liang Zijun did not remove his suspicion. Just as Chen Qing guessed, the people behind him refused to let Liang Zijun go easily Hezhi County still gave a pending sentence on the grounds of insufficient evidence.
