Chapter 674: Forcibly breaking into the city gate
Anyway, grand-niece Liu Pan'er will not let these people go. As long as she persists in the investigation and has a firm attitude, sooner or later someone will be willing to tell the truth about that year.
Old Mrs. Liu strode away without even saying goodbye.
Old Mrs. Wu looked at the back of Patriarch Liu leaving, feeling panicked.
Only he and Xu Jiasheng knew the truth about what happened back then. Even if others didn't have evidence, they could still make a rough guess.
In the past, Patriarch Liu had no money or power, so a bad old man couldn't do anything to him.
But it's different now.
Old Mrs. Wu felt a chill running down his spine, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
The person sent to the Xu family to inquire has not yet arrived. Mr. Wu did not dare to sit still and wait for death, so he immediately sent someone to investigate the news about Liu Pan'er, the wife of Dadutong.
Liu Pan'er did not deliberately conceal the news at all, and her identity quickly spread throughout Sang City.
Liubancheng, which once became history, is once again mentioned by everyone.
At that time, Mulberry City gradually developed through the planting of mulberry trees under the leadership of the Liu family.
The local people miss the time when Liu Bancheng existed.
At that time, I was busy working every day, and the money I earned could not only buy a house and land, but also enable the whole family to live a good life.
But now it is clear that planting more mulberry trees and raising more silkworms is harder than before, but the food is not as good as before, the clothes are not as good as before, and we cannot afford to build a house or get married.
When he couldn't survive, he sold his daughter to a wealthy family as a servant and then sold her daughter directly to Ren Yazi.
So even though the boy stayed, he couldn't get a wife when he grew up.
If you want to marry a wife, you have to spend more money in gifts.
As the vicious cycle continues, the people in Sangcheng are not living well.
At this time, many people thought of what Liu Bancheng said back then.
Be kind to the girls in the family. When these girls grow up, they can raise silkworms, weave cloth, and do many things, and they are no worse than the boys.
It was precisely because of Liu Bancheng's encouragement that many women did raise silkworms and weave cloth, helping their families earn a lot of money.
Therefore, even if a baby girl is born, she will not throw it away like before.
Some even treat their daughters better, which greatly changes the situation of girls in Sangcheng.
After Liu Bancheng's death, his family property was occupied by Xu Jiasheng.
The most famous Liu family silk and satin shop has also become the Xu family silk and satin shop, which has made many people in Sangcheng and the north realize that Liu Bancheng is very powerful, but he only has one daughter, and the family property has been occupied by people with other surnames?
As a result, the girl's situation went from bad to worse.
Now that news suddenly came out that Liu Bancheng had a descendant, there was a lot of heated discussion.
Just when Xu Jiasheng and Qian were packing their things and preparing to run away, the people sent by Yuan Zhifu came back and reported that the Xu family was preparing to leave the city.
If Xu Jiasheng didn't feel guilty, why did he run away?
If Xu Jiasheng and those in the Xu family were allowed to escape, with so many complaints in hand, Magistrate Yuan would not know where to arrest them!
Master Hu suggested at this time, "My lord, although time is urgent and we have not investigated the exact evidence, the defendant Xu Jiasheng and the Xu family's departure from Sangcheng is not in compliance with the law. My lord, you have the right to order these people not to leave."
Mulberry City."
After hearing Master Hu's suggestion, Magistrate Yuan immediately agreed, "Until the matter is found out, Xu Jiasheng and everyone in the Xu family are not allowed to leave Sangcheng. They are asked to stay at home and are not allowed to move around."
Master Hu quickly agreed, "It's my lord. I'll give you the instructions right now."
Qian and Xu Jiasheng were sitting in the carriage, flustered and pale, as they were about to reach the city gate.
As long as he leaves the city and escapes overnight, he may still have a way to survive when he reaches Beirong.
"Master, do you think we can be safe?" Qian choked even more, she was afraid.
In order to humiliate Liu Yun'er and vent his anger, Qian gave Liu Yun'er and her daughter stolen food and shabby clothes, withheld charcoal in winter, and allowed his servants to bully them.
Who would have thought that Liu Paner could turn around?
Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
This Liu Pan'er has indeed become a serious problem.
Xu Jiasheng looked at him and tried to calm down, "I, Xu Jiasheng, have been through wind and waves. This time it seems dangerous, but as long as we leave Sangcheng and we go to Beirong, the sky is high and the sky is high, and no one can do anything to us?"
Liu Pan'er and Li Yuanqing were both powerful people in Dazhou. The Xu family and Qian family knew how to escape to other places in Dazhou, but were eventually caught.
But Beirong is different. People from the Zhou Dynasty can't go there easily, let alone officials. They can't go there easily and break the agreement between the two countries.
When Qian heard what her husband said, she gradually breathed a sigh of relief. There were still a few people in front of her and they could leave the city soon.
Other members of the Xu family were also trembling with fear and hoped to leave as soon as possible.
The three brothers of the Xu family looked at each other. In the past, they all bullied Liu Pan'er. Not only did they beat Liu Pan'er, but they also spit on Liu Pan'er's food, sprinkled dirt on it, and forced Liu Pan'er to eat it.
There are even worse things popping up in their minds, and the more they think about them, the more they fear them.
At first he wanted to touch the good-looking Liu Pan'er, but Liu Pan'er fought hard with him. Now thinking about the fierce look in that girl's eyes, he is still a little scared.
The second young master of the Xu family, who was the timidest and weakest, fainted immediately.
Seeing the queue, they wanted to get off the carriage, push the people in front of them, and immediately pass through the inspection and leave the city.
While the Xu family was waiting in line, a group of government officials rode over directly and shouted: "Master Yuan ordered, close the city gate."
When the Xu family heard this, they screamed in fright.
Xu Jiasheng didn't care so much, jumped off the carriage and rushed outside.
What he did cannot be hidden. Sooner or later he will be found out, and then he will be dead.
In this case, it is better to run out directly, maybe there is still a life.
When Mrs. Qian saw her husband running away alone, she felt sad. Xu Jiasheng was such a selfish person.
She didn't want to die, so she got off the carriage and rushed over.
Several carriages behind the Xu family were crying and screaming.
The eldest son of the Xu family and the third son of the Xu family ignored the second son of the Xu family and jumped out of the window to escape.
When the soldiers guarding the gate saw it, they immediately surrounded him.
Some people closed the door, and some blocked Xu Jiasheng.
When Xu Jiasheng was young, he was a scholar; as he got older, he gained a lot of weight, could not run fast, and his strength was much weaker. He could not be the opponent of these strong soldiers defending the city.
Seeing that Xu Jiasheng was actually trying to break in, he kicked him and said, "Be honest, if you break in again, I'll take action."
When Mr. Yuan sent people to hunt him down, even if the person was wearing gold and silver, the gatekeeper would not dare to let him go.
Xu Jiasheng was pushed down and sat on the ground, breathing heavily, "You can't arrest me, I am Xu Bancheng."
Mr. Hu said in a deep voice: "Some people are accusing you of poisoning your father-in-law and mother-in-law, torturing and abusing your wife, and embezzling the Liu family's property. In addition, someone is accusing Mrs. Xu and the Qian family of loan sharking, and accusing your eldest son of doing business and passing off inferior goods.
