Mrs. Song noticed her looking at her and forced a smile: "Yu Yatou, right?"
Wow! The officer's knife was placed on Mrs. Song's neck.
Mrs. Song was trembling with fear.
"Do...what?"
Tong Liyang quickly begged for mercy: "Madam, forgive me, I am an old woman who has never seen the world, so don't be like her."
The yamen servant sneered: "You can call my wife by her name?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Mrs. Song trembled, "Madam, madam, you may not have seen us, but I am your mother's mother, that is, your grandmother. This is your grandfather!"
Mu Siyu looked at the two of them with cold eyes.
"You haven't seen us, so you must have seen your aunt, right?" Mrs. Song pointed to Hu Moli. "This is your aunt. Ask her if we are your grandmother and grandfather."
Mu Siyu took a sip of tea, wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth, and said calmly: "Grandpa, grandma?"
"Yes, we are!" Mrs. Song looked at her flatteringly, "Our family is poor and I haven't seen you for many years. It's normal that you don't remember. But your grandfather and I often talk about you mother and son, especially
It's you, you were so cute when you were a child, your grandfather and I liked you very much."
Mu Siyu smiled half-heartedly: "Oh? You like me so much! Then when was I born?"
"You are... you are..." Ms. Song looked at Tong Liyang.
Tong Liyang's expression was stiff.
How could he know when Mu Siyu was born?
He didn't even remember when Tong was born.
Mrs. Song racked her brains and couldn't figure it out.
Mu Siyu looked impatient: "Okay, don't waste any more words. I know what you want to do. Before we were poor, you so-called relatives could not see each other once in ten years. Now that my man has become the county magistrate, you
I just want to come and recognize my relatives. Sorry, I am not stupid, nor am I so generous. Listen carefully here, I do not recognize relatives like you. If you come to disturb my mother and me again, it will not be as simple as going to jail.
"
"Madam, you should also surround yourself with people you can trust. Look at your uncle. He is your biological uncle after all. He is for you. You can leave any errands to him."
"Are you willing to let him sell himself into slavery?" Mu Siyu interrupted her. "If you are willing, I can give him this opportunity."
"Slave?" Mrs. Song's expression was as if she had swallowed a fly. She wanted to vomit but did not dare to vomit, but did not dare to get angry.
"The county government never lacks available people. When it comes to loyalty, slaves born from home are of course the most trustworthy. The slave's fate is in the hands of his master, and he dare not disobey his master's orders."
Tong Liyang tugged on Mrs. Song's sleeve: "You're crazy."
Of course, Mrs. Song couldn't let her son be a slave. Seeing that Mu Siyu refused to give in, they couldn't get any benefits, and they were unwilling to accept it.
"Madam, these are all fakes, what should I do with them?" asked the Yamen servant.
"I hate people like this who are full of twists and turns. Since they are so dishonest, let them stay in prison for three or four years and let them eat enough food in prison."
"Madam, please spare your life!"
"Madam, please spare us, we will never dare again!"
Others knelt down and begged for mercy.
The entire room echoed with the screams of the prisoners begging for mercy.
Song and Tong Liyang were frightened.
Especially Ms. Song, she stayed in the prison for several days and did not get a good night's sleep during this period. Every night, people screamed, and the prison guards tortured the prisoners. The prisoners' screams echoed throughout the prison.
She never wants to go back to that kind of ghost place.
"Madam, we understand what you mean. Your grandfather and I just wanted to see you. Now that we have seen you, we are relieved. How about we go back? We still have children to take care of at home!" Mrs. Song said
.
"Want to go back?" Mu Siyudan asked.
"I think, I think very much." Mrs. Song used the bitter trick. "Your uncle's son is still young, so I usually take care of him. I've been gone for a few days, and I don't know if the child is eating well or sleeping well. God
Poor!"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, of course I can't let you stay in the prison anymore. You can leave whenever you want without anyone stopping you." Mu Siyu said, "However, I would like to remind you one last thing, I don't want anyone to disturb my mother.
"
"We won't bother you." No matter how unwilling she was, Ms. Song had no choice but to admit it.
The people did not dare to fight with the officials. In the face of power, all her tricks were of no use. If she dared to cry and act violently, she could make her stay in jail with just one word.
"Send them out." Mu Siyu said.
Mrs. Song grabbed Tong Liyang and lowered her voice and said, "Help me!"
Tong Liyang quickly helped Mrs. Song go.
When the two left, they didn't care that Hu Moli was inside.
Mu Siyu said to the other 'prisoners' except Hu Moli: "I have wronged you during this period."
"No grievance, no grievance." One of the 'prisoners' said, "My wife gave us such a high salary, but we did nothing but slept in the prison for a few days. We are a little embarrassed."
"Jing Yamen, take them down to collect their wages."
These 'prisoners' are all servants of the government. They usually do odd jobs and their wages are not high. This time they were selected by Mu Siyu to act in such a play, and the wages they earned were the same as their previous two months' wages, but
They were so happy.
If there were not these "criminals", how could we knock down the mountain and shake the tiger?
The Song family wouldn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, so she had to give her something strong so that she wouldn't dare to fight the autumn wind again.
We have just dealt with one of the Chiangs, and we really don’t have the time to deal with the second ‘Chiang’. Things are different now. You can use official coercion to pressure people, so why should you be polite to them?
Look, how useful it is!
After the others left, Hu Moli wiped the ashes from her face.
"If I had known I didn't have to do anything more, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Look at this new outfit, it's been ruined like this." Hu Moli said distressedly.
"It's not in vain." Mu Siyu said, "It would be more truthful if you showed up, and as long as you say what we originally said, they won't notice anything."
"My family is extremely poor. They will not waste their time on our family. This time I have sent them away. You can also clean up." Hu Moli said, "By the way, what happened to your mother and Dr. Zhu?"
What happened? I stayed with your mother these days, and your mother took me to Dr. Zhu’s place to help. Of course, I covered my face so no one recognized me. What I want to say is that your mother and
There is something strange between Dr. Zhu."
"My aunt is so smart, she has already guessed it, right?" Mu Siyu said, "That's what you think."
"Ah? If that's the case, that would be troublesome. I saw a woman named Dao Sanniang who was particularly enthusiastic about Dr. Zhu. She took care of three meals a day and was very quick in doing things."
