Liang Cheng and the other three saw that Li Qing was polite and did not have any strange expressions towards their appearance and disabilities. They also had a good impression of this new owner. They smiled and cupped their fists.
“Greetings, Master Li.”
After Liang Cheng and the others greeted Li Qing, Li Qing said to Chu Sihai, “Head Shopkeeper, I’ll bring Big Brother Liang and the others back to the residence first. We’ll gather again when you’re free to go to Le County.”
Chu Sihai smiled readily and said, “Alright, I run everywhere all year round. I might go to Le County in a few days.”
After Li Qing bade farewell to Li Yu, Li Yu invited Chu Sihai into the living room to sit down. She smiled and asked, “Head Shopkeeper, were the truth pills useful?”
Chu Sihai smiled and nodded. “They were very useful. It just took some effort on the person surnamed Chi. Madam Li, your guess is right. There are indeed still people hiding deep in the mountains in Liang Village. They also have people in the capital city and Shanyang County. Li Fengqi’s lover said that they mainly want to mess up the capital and take the opportunity to pull your family and Scholar Lin’s family down.”
Li Yu said in a low voice, “These people really used all their tricks to deal with me. Fortunately, you discovered it. Otherwise, my family would have implicated Uncle’s family.”
Chu Sihai shook his head. “You can’t say that. They planted people in several families in advance. The person who searched the two scholars was Constable Leng. Even without your family, they would still cause trouble. Besides, if there was really a problem with Scholar Lin, he would have been detained long ago. They wouldn’t have kept him in the examination hall!”
“That’s true.” Li Yu nodded. “Has Li Fengqi been imprisoned?”
Chu Sihai told her about Li Fengqi finding Laidi. He smiled and sighed. “The secret guard said that when that woman saw that Li Fengqi had indeed written the divorce letter, her face turned green with anger. The two of them were hiding there. That Li guy is a stupid pig. He was coaxed by that woman to sell himself, but he was still praising that woman.”
Li Yu said coldly, “Such a mercenary and smart person needs such a person to deal with him.”
“The Li scholar is narrow-minded. He’s been brooding over the fact that Li
Hanlin assisted him in becoming a High Scholar but refused to bring him up. They even thought of taking revenge on you in the future.” Chu Sihai smiled as he spoke. “They really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. The Li scholar is just waiting to be stripped of his scholarly titles and exiled to Western Liang to accompany Country Lord Ning.”
Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Such a person should live like this.”
Chu Sihai stood up and said with a smile, “Madam Li, I will be busy these few days, so I won’t disturb you.”
Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, I won’t keep you anymore. Come and sit when you’re free.”
After sending Chu Sihai off, Li Yu went to the back garden. Xingxing held a broken toy in his hand and walked up to Li Yu dejectedly. He looked at her and said, “Mother, I don’t want to play with wooden toys.”
Yueyue said from the side, “Mother, Brother broke Big Bear’s claws again.”
Every time Xingxing was having fun, he couldn’t control his strength well. He always broke the toy and often scratched Xiaobai until it barked. It was so frightened that it hid when it saw Xingxing.
Li Yu squatted down and looked at the stars. She said gently, “Xing’er didn’t do it on purpose. Xing’er is as strong as Mother and is stronger than ordinary people. When Mother was young, a piglet was rented for Mother to play with!”
Xingxing looked up at Li Yu. “Did Mother hurt the piglet? Xiaobai isn’t even willing to let me hug it. It despises me for hurting it.”
Yueyue assumed the posture of an elder brother. “Little brother, you hurt
Xiaobai every time. Xiaobai runs when it sees you, but you still chase it. Mother, Xiaobai also hurts very much.”
Xingxing looked at Yueyue unhappily. “I’ve never hurt you and Big Brother, as well as Father and Mother. Brother is annoying. I won’t talk to you today.”
“Yes, our Xing’er has never hurt us because Xing’er loves Brother and Father and knows that you have to play gently with us.” Li Yu smiled and hugged him. “If you want to play with Xiaobai, you have to play gently. You can’t grab it hard when you are not happy. Grab Xiaobai like you grab Brother’s hand, and it won’t despise you.”
Yueyue leaned against Li Yu and heard her compare himself to Xiaobai. He looked at her unhappily. “Mother, Xiaobai has dog claws. He doesn’t have hands.”
“Haha…” Li Yu laughed and patted Yue Yue’s head. “Yes! Xiaobai’s claws are claws. I was wrong.”
Xing’er hugged Li Yu’s neck and said unhappily, “Mother, I want to carry a piglet too. Let’s go to the Wang Family Village. There’s a piglet in the Wang Family Village. ”
Yueyue clapped her hands and smiled. He grabbed Li Yu’s hand and said coquettishly, “Mother, I want to anger the Wang family too!”
Xingxing pointed at Yue Yue. “Brother, you’re stupid. We’re going to the Wang
Family Village, not to anger the Wang family!”
Yueyue turned her head to the side. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t talk to me today? I’m angry. Ignore you!”
Li Yu looked at the angry brothers and smiled. She pulled Yueyue into her arms and said to him, “Yue’er, don’t be so petty! I pointed out that what you said was wrong because I wanted to reconcile with you. Come, let’s hold hands.”
Yueyue, who had a warm personality, reached out his chubby hand to
Xingxing. “Alright! I’m the elder brother. I forgive you.”
Xingxing took his hand and nodded. “Brother, I forgive you too.”
Li Yu looked at the two little fellows and kissed them each. “Mother’s darlings, let’s wait for Father and Big Brother to take a break and go to the Wang Family Village together, okay?”
Star nodded and said, “We still have to call Grandmaster, Uncle, and bring Brother Loach and the others along.”
“Alright (‘All *Inno ” T.i V11 czmilpd
Shen Zhong led his men and spent half a day arresting Ah Ying and the old woman. He handed them all to Chu Sihai for interrogation.
The county magistrate and registrar of Shanyang County were also brought back to the capital’s government office and locked next door to the county magistrate.
Chu Sihai did not completely believe Manor Head Chi’s words and asked Yan Niang to continue guarding Tongfu Inn to investigate.
In Liang Village, all the weapons in the secret room were transported back to the Ministry of War. The secret guards left in Liang Village also followed Chu Qing into the mountain.
The Daoist priest that Sun Tong had helped invite did a ritual for the villagers who had died tragically and buried them again. As the people who had died were buried in a huge pit by the bandits, it was impossible to tell who was whom. He could only ask someone to carve a big tombstone and bury those people in the tomb that the Daoist priest had built.
Judge Sun had already drawn all the portraits of the bandits according to Ah Lian and the others’ descriptions. He had checked their original fields and title deeds and registered their household registers again. He had specially set up a female household and left behind enough rice for each of them to eat for more than a year. He had also given each of them 20 taels of silver. He had even thoughtfully helped them exchange two taels of silver into coins. The silver was also all small silver ingots.
Ah Lian and the others received the new household register and silver. Looking at the rice left behind, they felt much more at ease.
Some of them looked at the silver in the cloth bag with sparkling eyes. Their eyes darted around. Some of them bowed gratefully to Judge Sun Tong. “Thank you, sir. Thank you..”
