Apart from the one who has been guarding the gate, the other two men should be newcomers, and Lin Qiao didn't know him well.

He led the crying siblings into the inner courtyard, and after listening to them chattering for a long time, he realized that the money that the Li family had raised to replace Ding had been stolen by the uncle who had separated from the family, and the money had also been taken away. His uncle has handed it over to Lizheng, and it's useless to make a fuss. At most, he can pay it later, but what is needed at this juncture is not an IOU!

Lin Qiao was so annoying, Li's 30 taels and his 15 taels!How could Aunt Li, who is usually so cautious, allow such important money to be stolen?

However, he couldn't blame the Li family either. Aunt Li and his wife had already collapsed on the bed in anger. Would he still want to scold them?Moreover, this kind of life-and-death moment is when human nature is the most selfish and ugliest. Uncle Li is only stealing money, and there are even some who sell wives and daughters.

He definitely wants to help the Li family, but he can't give it now. The yamen servant will come to recruit soldiers tomorrow. If he gives it now, he might hurt himself and Aunt Li's family.He had to coax the two siblings patiently, telling them to go home first, and he would figure out a solution for the money.

Lying under the quilt at night, Lin Qiao counted the money in the space. He had already lent 15 taels to the Li family. Maybe he will go to the battlefield in the north soon, if he doesn't get the divorce letter before he leaves, how many years will he have to wait?

Moreover, the Chu family married him in as a lucky star, and they don't know whether they agreed to give him a divorce letter.Lin Qiao couldn't help but sighed, he still thought too simply, he only focused on earning money, and never considered whether the Chu family would like it or not.

However, no matter what, the Li family can't ignore it. He likes everyone in the Li family, and it's impossible to watch them be separated from each other.

The next day, it started to rain lightly, and it was windy and very cold. Lin Qiao wore a newly bought jacket and a bamboo hat, and went to the Daping in the village where rice is usually dried.

Lizheng, the yamen servants and the villagers had already arrived. Aunt Li and his wife were like eggplants beaten by frost, they were so wilted that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

Da Hei lowered his head and stood silently by the side, while Xiao Er Hei and Mei Zi hugged their parents with red eyes.

Seeing Lin Qiao, except for Dahei, everyone in the Li family looked forward to it.Lin Qiao smiled and nodded again, the Li family felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiao put the basket on the ground, took out a few steamed buns from it, and handed them to the Li family. Judging by their appearance, they must have not eaten breakfast.

Under the bun was the bag of money, Lin Qiao kicked the basket to Aunt Li's feet calmly, Aunt Li understood, picked up Meizi, and let her sit on the basket.

They did this, and no one noticed, the smoking had already started, and the crowd was crying, who would be distracted to pay attention to them!

When calling Aunt Li's family, Aunt Li said loudly, "My family pays money."

After speaking, he walked up to the yamen servant with a basket in his hand, and took out a bag containing silver. After the yamen servant gave Aunt Li the receipt of the cash, the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, money was used to replace Ding, but no one was jealous and hated the Li family.The Li family not only helped the Chu family, but also rented [-] acres of land, plus the usual running of ox carts, which made them richer than ordinary villagers. He thought that since Aunt Li had been helping the Chu family for so many years, it was impossible for the Chu family to ignore her.

Afterwards, the Li family returned home crying. For them, the past few days were simply too worrying. Now, how can they not be excited for the rest of their life after the catastrophe?

Lin Qiao followed Dahei and asked, "I don't know what happened to Brother Zhuzi?"

Aunt Li's brows that had just been relaxed were frowned again, and she sighed, "Xiaobai, I'm a little worried. With my sister-in-law's character, she must be very willing to let the pillars be drawn."

Lin Qiao was very puzzled, "How can there be such a mother in the world?"

Aunt Li sighed heavily again, "Of course my mother won't, my sister-in-law is a stepmother."

stepmother?Thinking of what Brother Zhuzi said last time when Brother Zhuzi’s younger brother came to the town and asked Brother Zhuzi to bring money and medicine back, Lin Qiao’s heart sank, but he still persisted and said, “No, I will give you the money directly. Brother Zhuzi, since his stepmother can't take it away, she definitely won't."

Aunt Li still sighed. Seeing this, Lin Qiao was so anxious that she said to Dahei, "Brother, accompany me to Brother Zhuzi's house."

Dahei nodded quickly, Aunt Li was worried, and asked Uncle Li to go with her, fearing that her sister-in-law would act like a demon, and the juniors would not be able to restrain her.

The three of them rushed all the way to Zhangjiawan, but before they reached the place, they met a group of yamen servants leading seven or eight young and middle-aged men with ropes on the official road, and Brother Zhuzi was among them.

Lin Qiao's heart sank, and she ran forward and shouted, "Brother Zhuzi."

Brother Zhuzi had a lifeless look at first, but when he heard Lin Qiao's shout, his face became a little angry.

Uncle Li couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked anxiously, "Didn't I give you money? Why do you still have to smoke? Is it your stepmother?"

Brother Zhuzi smiled sadly, and Lin Qiao's heart ached so much, he turned to the servant and said, "Brother Zhuzi won't go to war, I'll pay him."

A yamen servant on a horse smiled and said, "It's too late now, everything has already been registered."

Lin Qiao quickly asked, "Then how can we let him go?"

The yamen servant stroked his beard and said, "100 taels, let him go for 100 taels."

100 taels, why don't you grab it?Obviously 30 taels, so much increase all of a sudden, it is simply a robber!

Lin Qiao gritted his teeth, "100 taels is 100 taels, you release him quickly."

The yamen servant pressed the whip against Lin Qiao's chin, and laughed loudly, "You are so poor, can you get 100 taels?"

Just as Lin Qiao was about to refute, another horse ran up the road ahead and stopped beside them. It was also a government servant with a big knife on his waist. He said displeasedly, "Why are you so slow? Take them to the camp in the west of the city quickly. , it will be launched the day after tomorrow.”

The bearded yamen servant asked in surprise, "So fast? Leave without training?"

The servant with the knife said impatiently, "This is an order from above, how would I know?"

I'm leaving the day after tomorrow!Lin Qiao couldn't control so much at this time, and begged the bearded servant's rein, "I'm really rich, please let Brother Zhuzi go! I'll go get the money now!"

He couldn't take out money from the space in front of so many people, so he could only beg first, and as soon as the official officer agreed, he would immediately find a secluded place to redeem people with money.

If it's a few taels of silver, he can cover it with his sleeve and take the money out of the space, but how can he cover the 100 taels?He is extremely regretful now, why didn't he bring the backpack, the backpack can at least cover it, then he can redeem him on the spot.

The bearded yamen servant raised his horsewhip and lashed at him, cursing as he whipped, "Go away, don't delay my business."

Brother Zhuzi blushed anxiously, and ran towards the horse of the bearded yamen servant, "Don't hit him, I'll go with you."

The bearded yamen servant whipped his whip at Brother Zhuzi again, cursing while whipping, and the officer with a knife drew out his big knife and shouted, "Whoever dares to make trouble will be shot to death!"

Lin Qiao was knocked down by the force of the whip and fell to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time and could only watch Brother Zhuzi being taken away.

Only when the yamen servant was far away did the Li family father and son dare to step forward to help him up.After recovering, Lin Qiao pushed them away, ignoring the pain, and ran forward.

He didn't blame the Li family father and son. In the ancient times when the people did not fight with the officials, seeing such a vicious government servant, the Li family father and son could not be blamed for not saying a word. listless.

Lin Qiao followed the horseshoe marks all the way to the west of the city. He couldn't enter the barracks, not even get close.He hated and was anxious, hating brother Zhuzi's stepmother for being vicious.What's urgent is that once brother Zhuzi goes to the battlefield, the hope of coming back alive is slim.

After wandering outside the camp for a long time, Lin Qiao remembered Chu's second child. Chu's second child is now an officer, so it should be useful to find him.

Before it was dark and the city gate was still open, Lin Qiao hurried into the city.Apart from the way to Baicaotang, he was not familiar with Qingcheng, but fortunately Boss Chu told him the address before he left.

Lin Qiao asked all the way about the house of the Chu family in the city. The concierge had also been seen in the Chu family compound before, so he met the boss of Chu smoothly.

After hearing what he said, Boss Chu pondered for a while before saying, "Go and rest first, and I will tell the second child."

This was the only way to go, Lin Qiao dragged her sore legs and followed Mrs. Chu into the wing.

While washing, Lin Qiao realized that her clothes were all torn, and a few red and swollen whips were crawling on her skin like a big centipede. Before, she was only focused on chasing Brother Zhuzi, but she didn't remember these whips at all. Now that she is idle, it really hurts Dead man.

It's abominable that these yamen servants have dealt such heavy blows to a handsome young man like Brother Bai.

Lin Qiao remembered that there was still the medicine given by brother Zhuzi in the space. After looking for it, it was indeed there, so he took it out and carefully applied a layer on the mark.

Chu's second child came back very late, and Mrs. Chu took his sword and served hot food and rice. Boss Chu talked about Zhuzi again.

Second Chu put down his job and said after a long time, "I saw that pillar today. It was a man who knocked down four yamen servants by himself."

Boss Chu was originally leaning on the back of the chair. After hearing this, he immediately straightened his back and said with a sullen face, "If that's the case, then you can't let him go."

Mrs. Chu said in puzzlement, "Why?"

Boss Chu said displeasedly, "The second child is just a school lieutenant now. If he wants to be promoted, he must have military exploits. Leading troops to fight, if there are no soldiers who can fight, where will the military exploits come from?"

Aunt Chu sighed, "If you don't let go, how can you explain to Xiaobai?"

Boss Chu thumped the table, and said angrily, "What an ignorant woman! She is not Xiaobai's, so what do you have to say?"
