"Tell me, you are a mountain man and you don't farm well at home. How did you become the Song family's lackey?"
Lin Xu looked at him sharply and asked in a deep voice.
"I...I'm here to support my family!"
After Tang Xiaoya finished speaking, he lowered his head.
"Who else is in your family?"
"A mother in her sixties, a wife, and four children..."
"Four children? How old are you this year?"
"I am already twenty-three this year. I got married early and gave birth to my first son at the age of sixteen. He is now eight years old... However, because my family was too poor in the past, my child did not have enough to eat all day long.
I didn’t grow taller, so I got sick and had a high fever. I didn’t have money for treatment. Although I managed to get better later, I still had sequelae. I couldn’t even form a sentence clearly, and I became a fool...
..."
Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoya couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
"So you sold yourself to the Song family to do bad things?"
"Sir, I...I did sell it to the Song family, but I just ran errands for them and delivered news, and I didn't do anything harmful...Actually, there's nothing I can do about it.
,If you don’t do this, the whole family will starve to death..."
"Humph, you came to our village to do some fine work, and ordered Liu Shuanzi to go to the dyeing factory to steal the formula, which caused three people in our village to almost die! Until now, there is still a wounded person who can't get out of bed! How dare you say that you have never done this?
Something outrageous?"
Lin Xu sneered.
"I......"
Tang Xiaoya seemed to want to explain, but in the end he said sadly: "Sir, you are right, I did do bad things, especially what I did to you and to Linshan Village! I dare not beg you to forgive me.
However, I know that you, sir, have always been kind and righteous! So, I want to make a deal with you!"
"What deal?"
"I want to sell you the evidence that the Song family and the government colluded to frame the Yang family!"
"Sell it to me?" A playful smile appeared on Lin Xu's lips, "How much money do you want to sell it for?"
"One hundred taels of silver!"
"One hundred taels? This is not a small number!"
"Yes, this is indeed not a small number. I also know that it is shameless to make such a request now! But this is the last money I can leave to my family before I die! So, I must try my best to get it.
A little more!"
Tang Xiaoya had a sad look on his face.
"hehe......"
Lin Xu smiled softly: "Although what you did is very bad, I have to say that you are a very honest person! But why do you think I will use one hundred taels of silver to buy your so-called evidence?"
"Because I know sir, you are a very emotional person!"
"Yang Min really wants to clear the wrongs of the Yang family. You and Yang Min are close friends, and the evidence in my hand is enough to help the Yang family clear the wrongs. Therefore, I concluded that you, sir, will definitely buy the evidence!
"
"Besides, although one hundred taels of silver is not a small number, to you, sir, it is nothing at all!"
