Chapter Two

Now, the Tang Dahai family's shop has also opened a shop in the Lu family's mother's house and Hewan Town. The five families have joined forces. If the business is indeed not as good as Peihe Town, the county government is all in Peihe Town, so Shawan Town is naturally not as good as that in order to make pocket money.

Since I passed the imperial examination last year, I still went to the mansion to enlighten the young masters of wealthy families every day. My wages have increased, but I have also surpassed my freedom. "This is an hour a day, and I can do what I like in my spare time. I no longer plan to get the imperial examination, but I have also taken the imperial examination three times..."

Fang was naturally casual, and uncle Lu was almost a grandfather, so Fang was too lazy to pay attention to it. It was a waste of money to take the exam for scholars and juren. The Tang family took out fifty taels of silver, and each family paid some money. Finally, they raised 100 taels. When they came back, only ten taels were left, and the people lost a few pounds.

"No one should persuade me. I will never want to enter the exam room again in my life..." My uncle Lu just settled down.

Tang Dahai is now in the shop, in the field, and in the work he is busy with is still done by his own home. When it comes to busy farming, he hires a short-term worker to help him. He is also very free and easy.

Tang Dahai and his family were eating supper around the Eight Immortals Table, making fun of him.

"Brother Dahai, it's amazing... something big happened..." Qiangzi's tragic voice came in from the gate of the courtyard.

Mrs. Lu's hand shaking with chopsticks, and the meat fell back into the bowl again. "It's all a bit of food. Qiangzi, Qiangzi's voice, is there something wrong with Qiangzi's voice?"

Tang Dahai couldn't help feeling panicked when he heard the voice, and his body shook invisibly. Looking at the old and young people in the room, he calmed down. "It's okay, I'll go and have a look, you guys eat first..." As he said, he walked out, stepped out of the threshold and ran directly outside the door.

Mrs. Lu looked at Tang Dahai running away and couldn't help but panic. Wenyou and Xiaochen didn't say hello, and then ran after Tang Dahai's back.

"Mom. What to do? I have been feeling dizzy these days, and I always feel that something is going to happen... What to do now... What to do..." Lu's heart was so anxious that he turned around, and his forehead was sweating profusely, as if he could fall down the next moment.

Fang's hand holding the crutch was a little unable to take it out, and he knocked hard on the ground. The hand seemed to be conscious. "What a panic! I don't know what happened yet. Don't panic! Let's go and have a look! Sitting here is in a hurry..."

Strongly holding up a cane, Xia Zhu hurried over and supported Fang, comforting him in a low voice. "Grandma, you can't be anxious. We don't know anything, let's talk about it. Uncle Qiangzi is here, which means it's a matter in the town. There is only one shop in our town. If something happens, it's just that the shop closes..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Xia Zhu, you are right. Grandma is old and can't even see clearly." Fang said loudly, not knowing whether she was comforting Lu or comforting herself again.

Xia Zhu was a little worried that Fang's body could not bear it. Fang's appearance gradually became old over the years. Even if he just kept it like that, he would still grow old day by day.

"The yamen runners came to capture four people from Tang Dalu. There were few people who ordered the West City to have dinner. Fortunately, Qiangzi was smart and ran to the back door while the chaos was in trouble. He went to listen to the Yuge report. The yamen runners were already at the entrance of the village..." Tang Dahai said the matter in a few words.

"How come someone is saying that it is the reason to catch people? We have been running for so many years, how could something happen?" When I entered the yamen, I had to peel off even if I didn't die. Lu asked urgently, holding Tang Dahai's sleeve.

Qiangzi rubbed his hands and said, "It was said that he had eaten to death..."

"Who is Tang Dahai? The yamen work, Tang Dahai, come out!" The two yamen runners shouted and entered the yard, pointing at Tang Dahai and others and shouting.

"Go, prepare some red envelopes. If you haven't dispersed, go to my house to find them. They are all in the cabinet. Don't mess up, the lives of this family are here..." Fang whispered to Lü.

"Official, go into the room to drink a glass of water..." Fang, leaning on a crutch, stepped forward and said with a smile. "He came from the county government and was tired all the way..."

"Who is Tang Dahai? Come with us to the yamen!" The yamen runner didn't look at Fang at all, but just said to Tang Dahai's group of people.

"I'll go with you. I'm the old man from this shop, and this shop is mine too!" Lao Qiu took a few steps to the two yamen runners, "Let's go quickly, I'll go with you."

Before he could come back to his senses, Lao Qiu walked to the yamen runners a few steps and shouted that the yamen runners would arrest him.

"I am, I am Tang Dahai!" Tang Dahai would not have let the yamen runners take Lao Qiu away. It would be a blessing that the old man could come out alive as soon as he entered the yamen. He was no longer younger, strong and could come over with a few strokes.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly came over with a few purses in his arms and secretly stuffed them to Mrs. Fang. "Ten taels..." Mrs. Fang nodded and held them tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Two officials, please sit for a while, drink a glass of water, and relieve your mouth. It's been a waste of time and you haven't eaten yet... Go, go and get some duck blood vermicelli soup and rice from our shop..." Fang opened his mouth and told Lu to get some food quickly.

Fang stuffed two purses into the hand of a yamen runner beside him. The yamen runner pinched it and then said, "Well, the old lady is willing, let's drink a glass of water. If you have anything to say, you're still waiting to go back and hand in the office."

I was already eating, so I got some food at this moment, which was very convenient. Not long after, I served a lot of things. "Two officials, in this countryside, you two can eat something casually and keep hungry..."

"If you have something to do, go and leave..." Lu retreated and looked for Fang and others.

"No wonder, this countryside and this kind of house is missed by people..."

"Look, this move is twenty taels. It seems that we are still going right. Hu Zi and the others will be jealous when they go back. Who told them to push them and refuse to come..."

After looking around for a few seconds, I started to eat. "Well... the taste is really good. Tsk tsk, no wonder I saved such a big house in a few years... If I were me, I would be jealous."

Xiaochen was hiding under the window frame behind the main hall, listening to the yamen runners inside eating and talking.

"Mom, those two yamen runners said that someone was jealous and framed..." Xiaochen and the two yamen runners stopped talking and sneaked back to report the message.

"Put more silver for the sea in scattered clothes and shoes, and if there are any difficulties, take it out and stuff it to the yamen runners and prisoners. Wear more shirts for the sea, and it will be cold in the middle of the night." Fang reminded me carefully.

"Brother Qiu, there is no one else in this family. Wenyou is young. Please come and go to the county government to handle some things later." Fang said to Lao Qiu, and Lao Qiu agreed.

"Let's go, go..." The two yamen runners were full and drunk, shouting loudly.

"The two officials asked to take care of each other on the way..." Fang gave a big gift.

"Old lady, if you have a way, please find someone as soon as possible, so as not to suffer earlier..." A young yamen runner couldn't see it and whispered. "No more shackles, it's not convenient to go on the road. Tang Dahai, let's go..."

There were already many people around outside the yard. Tang Dahai walked out of the yard and looked at Aunt Tang covering her mouth and crying, holding back her voice, for fear of disturbing the yamen runners.

"Second Aunt, I'll go and change Dazhu and the others out now... Don't worry..." Tang Dahai said in a low voice.

Aunt Tang took away the covered hand, bit her lip, and shivered. "Let Dazhu stay with you inside, there is some kind of care. Even if you eat someone to death, it is Dazhu, and he is the one who holds the spoon..."

"Officials, we ordinary people, how could we do such things? Please give us some innocence... to my son..." While saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed, and knelt down directly on the dirt road, and kowtowed without caring about the stones, and then kowtowed.

Behind him, there was a group of knelt down. The carriage moved, and all the way to the entrance of the village, the villagers who had the trust were full of trust, kowtowed one after another. "Please beg the official to observe clearly..." The cries that were deliberately lowered were knocked on the hearts of the two yamen runners. I am afraid it would be difficult.

The two yamen runners dared not stay for a long time, so they drove out of the village in a carriage, and then slowly slowed down. They looked at each other, and they were afraid that something was wrong.

"Official, I hired the four people caught in this shop. They were all suffering from undesired disasters. Can you ask the official to do some convenience..." Tang Dahai said to the yamen runner carefully.

"I have no choice but to be in prison today. We will follow us to ask if we can release it..." The older yamen runner was also a little uncertain at this moment. He dared not be too fierce to Tang Dahai. This matter has become a big deal. The identity of the yamen runner who they finally got was no longer protected.

"Uncle Tie, give this man a clean..." The yamen runner pointed at Tang Dahai and said.

Uncle Tie pulled the noodles gloomyly and smiled: "There is no clean place in this place... Isn't it a mistake? Hahaha..."

"Then make a single person..." He gave Uncle Tie five taels of silver. When the silver was on the road, Tang Dahai gave it to him.

Uncle Tie threw five taels of silver and grinned. "Single, this is OK... You two guys, you have made enough money this time..."

Tang Dahai was taken to an empty cell, turned around and the door was locked. "Uncle Tie, where did the four people who were caught in that afternoon lock up? Do you know?"

"As long as you are not dead, you are all here..." I left.

Two yamen runners left the cell. "Uncle Tie doesn't know why he is willing to stay in the cell. He smiles gloomyly. Once I see you, I'm afraid I'll have to have a nightmare for the first half of the month..." Since the new county magistrate came, he has not had a good sleep.

"Didn't you see that this cell is like a dead person? That's Uncle Tie's method, and no one dares to make a sound..." The older yamen runner has been in too many times. Although he can't have nightmares every day, he still feels his scalp numb.

"I hope this Tang Dahai won't cause trouble..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
