Lu Laosan was sentenced to fifty rods and three years in prison. However, as long as it was not a serious crime of murder, Chu allowed gold and silver to be used as compensation. So the Lu family spent three hundred taels of silver to offset Lu Laosan's three-year imprisonment.

The Lu family also wanted to spend more money to offset the fifty lashes with the cane, but Jiang County Lieutenant was too tough and refused to use the money to offset the 50 lashes with the cane. Therefore, Lu Laosan was severely beaten with the fifty lashes.

Half a life was lost.

Mr. Lu and the Lu family members blocked the government officials from handling the case and were also fined. The arrested Lu family members were each fined ten taels of silver. Mr. Lu was the first offender and was fined one hundred taels.

Such a large sum of money was fined, and even though Mr. Lu's family was wealthy, it was still too much to bear.

The eight bastards He Dacai and He Shanwa received the heaviest sentences. The Lu family put most of the blame on them. They were beaten fifty times with a cane and exiled thousands of miles away. They were never allowed to return to Jianghuai and other places.

The two servants of the Lu family were used as official slaves and were taken to work in the official mine.

The work in the mine was tiring and painful. The two servants went to the official mine and had no chance of surviving. They were already considered dead.

"The county government charged Lu Laosan with bringing gangsters to rob the property of decent people, that's why the sentence was so light." Luo's father said with regret: "What if the sentence was for someone who used the name of a county government official?

In Fish and Meat Township, Lu Laosan will definitely not survive, but the magistrate did not mention this crime."

As for Mr. Lu's intention to slander them as bandits, the county magistrate did not say anything.

Third Grandpa said: "Lieutenant Jiang County said that this crime is too big and will involve all the adults in the county, so we can't mention it. If we mention it, it will be spoiled. Let's just forget it and don't pursue it too much."

Jiang Xianwei is tough, but Zou Xiancheng is not a vegetarian. Before Lu Laosan was taken to the county seat, Zou Xiancheng learned about Lu Laosan and started to move up and down. Being able to sentence Lu Laosan was considered a punishment.

good.

Several families know that this is the best result, so there is no dissatisfaction, only gratitude.

"Now that Lu Laosan has been sentenced, the Lu family won't cause trouble for us, right?" Aunt Tian asked worriedly: "We have to live in this village."

Mrs. Chen said: "Sister-in-law Tian, ​​we now have the support of the county captain. Are you still afraid of the Lu family? Now the Lu family has ten nerves and they don't dare to cause trouble to us."

Mrs. Chen was very proud and felt her back straighten up. She smiled flatteringly at Gu Jinli and said, "We little fish are still very good. Every time we save people, we can save big people, which brings us benefits. The county captain is here."

, we can walk sideways in the village from now on."

"Shut up, you stinky bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Dagui scolded Mrs. Chen angrily.

Even if Captain Jiang helped them because Xiaoyu saved his granddaughter, they couldn't say it out loud.

Although Mrs. Chen was scolded, she was still very happy. If she didn't want to say it, she wouldn't say it. As long as they knew what was going on.

The third grandfather looked at several families and said: "We are ordinary people. Xiaoyu saved the granddaughter of the county captain. The county captain took care of us, so we can't forget our identities."

"Don't worry, third uncle and third uncle. We know that we will not use the name of the county captain to benefit our own family." The heads of several families said one after another, and the other women and children also nodded in agreement.

Having said that, the families are still very happy, happier than during the Chinese New Year.

…

In the county town of Zou Mansion, the Prime Minister of Zou County was so angry about what happened to the Lu family that he smashed a whole set of blue and white porcelain and worked hard for two days before finally settling the matter.

When Lu Laosan was found guilty, he was completely relieved. What a danger, if this matter continues to be investigated, it would not be Lu Laosan and a few gangsters who came to grab the prescription, but his Zou

A catastrophic event that destroys a family.

Because of Lu Laosan's incident, Aunt Lu was fined and banned for half a year, and had her female precepts copied hundreds of times.

The uncle of the Lu family was also kicked out of the Zou Mansion and could no longer work with the county magistrate.

Boss Lu was anxious and angry, so he asked Aunt Lu for help, but Aunt Lu was smart and did not see him. She just asked her confidant to send him a letter, which read: The storm is going on, brother, don't be anxious, just wait at home with peace of mind.

Wait, after the master calms down, the younger sister will naturally speak up for the older brother.

Boss Lu has been with Zou County Cheng for more than ten years, and he is not a fool. He knows that Zou County Cheng is very angry this time, and he also knows that there is no rush to enter the Zou Mansion again, so he can only wait at home with peace of mind.

With.

Aunt Lu was worried that Mr. Lu would take action against the Qin Guluotian family, so she sent someone to send a message to Mr. Lu, telling him not to do stupid things. Now that they are in the limelight, whenever anything happens to the Qin Guluotian family, others will

Everyone would be suspicious of her Lu family. Zou Xiancheng was already very angry. They couldn't take action against Qin Gu Luotian and his family now. They had to endure it and settle accounts with them in the future.

Mr. Lu knew that Aunt Lu was right, but he was still so angry that he became ill and felt embarrassed. After he came out of the county government, he did not return to the village. Instead, he lived with Mr. Lu in the county town and wanted to wait until the limelight passed before returning.

village.

After this dynasty, the Lu family was completely exhausted.

Fortunately, Zou Xiancheng is fine, Aunt Lu's children are fine, and the Lu family still has a chance to turn over.

Shopkeeper Zeng of Fugui Building also suffered a lot because of this. He was scolded by the chief steward of Zou Mansion, who scolded him for being short-sighted. Isn't he just a tofu recipe worth stealing with Lu Laosan? He was fined for another year.

The monthly payment will be settled.

The happiest person in the entire Zou Mansion was Mrs. Zou. She had long disliked Aunt Lu and wanted to get rid of the Lu family. However, the Lu family was smart, and the master was fascinated by Aunt Lu's charming woman. These two

In the past ten years, not only has she failed to suppress Aunt Lu, she has also allowed Aunt Lu to gain a foothold in the house and give birth to children.

What's even more hateful is that Aunt Lu also wants her son to inherit the Zou family and be the next county magistrate. Mrs. Zou is so angry that she wants to strangle Aunt Lu to death and then poison Aunt Lu's son.

Unexpectedly, the Lu family fell into the hands of several victims who had fled the famine. It was really God's will.

"How are things going?" Mrs. Zou asked the grandmother next to her.

Aunt Hong lowered her head and replied: "Go back to Madam, I have found eight people and are teaching them. They will be able to enter the mansion in a while."

Mrs. Zou frowned: "Will it take a while? Don't wait any longer. While the master is annoying Aunt Lu, let them enter the house quickly. Four of them will be assigned to the master's study to serve them, and the other four will be placed in the main room."

In order to deal with Aunt Lu, Mrs. Zou has been looking for young and good-looking girls since last year, and put them in another house to teach her. After thinking that she had taught them well, she sent those girls into the house to serve Zou County Cheng.

Take Aunt Lu's favor.

"Yes, I will arrange for them to enter the house tomorrow." Grandma Hong replied.

Mrs. Zou asked again: "Are there any outstanding ones among those eight? The other eight are useless, and they can't even deal with an old lady."

Aunt Hong smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, among the eight people this time, three are excellent, especially the daughter of a scholar named Zhong. Her figure is one of the best in a thousand. As long as a man can get started, he will be the best."
