While Qian Dingbao was busy walking around, Tao Ran was not idle either.
She went to Mrs. Qian's natal family and found out that the Qian family owed 30,000 taels of silver and was involved in two lawsuits. Mrs. Qian was seriously ill and the news spread that the Qian family was surrounded by creditors every day.
.
Five thousand taels of silver is not a small sum of money thrown away by a married daughter. As long as they are not afraid of losing their capital and profits, they will definitely come to ask for it...
Tao Ran also asked Xue Jin to personally provide advice to the villagers in Liangshan Village.
"Why don't you take action?" Xue Jin exclaimed.
"We have done everything we can!" Li Dashan beat the ground and cried.
Xue Jin sighed:
"Originally, our county magistrate did not dare to offend the Qian family, so such a clear case was delayed for a long time. Now that Qian Dingbao is back, you will definitely not win this case.
Look, he's biting you like this now. If you don't take the initiative and wait like this, you will be beaten passively. By then, you will have no way to appeal your grievances, and you may even become kidnappers, and all of you will be arrested.
If you get up, they will have to claim compensation! By then it will be too late!"
Xue Jin looked like a good man who was upright and upright. When the villagers heard that his words made sense, they all cried out in sorrow and cursed him again and again.
Xue Jin shook his head again.
"But the facts also prove that it is completely useless for you to cause trouble in Yancheng."
His words struck a chord with the villagers.
Muramasa came up: "I dare to ask this gentleman, in your opinion, if we want to seek justice, what should we do?"
Xue Jin took a step to talk to him.
"Go to the provincial capital to file a lawsuit! The official in the provincial capital was obviously not afraid of Qian Dingbao's power and did not protect them at all. Didn't this cost the Qian family 20,000 taels of silver? If you go to the provincial capital, you will definitely be able to
Seek justice.”
"But...according to our law, the complaint cannot go beyond the level..."
"It's no wonder that you are still the village chief!" Xue Jin interrupted him. "It is true that the complaint cannot go beyond the local area, but if you are connected with the case in the provincial capital, wouldn't this be solved?
Qian Dingbao is now going to the provincial capital to overturn his son's scandal and wants to put all the blame for his family on the kidnappers. Isn't he questioning that you are the kidnappers? Isn't this just connected? You go to the provincial capital to complain and prove it.
You are not kidnappers, you are counter-suing Qian Dingbao for slander, please ask the adults over there to make the decision for you!"
Muramasa's eyes immediately lit up.
That's the truth.
The local officials were clearly trying to protect him, and this seemed to be a good opportunity for them to avoid the local government.
Xue Jin lowered his voice: "The Qian family offended a local snake over there, and they are very powerful! The Qian family has no power there, and the government there will definitely not let the Qian family reverse the case, so if you go there, you can just break Qian's decision.
It’s a lie to protect you, so the official over there will definitely protect you. You can’t lose.”
Muramasa slapped his thigh, okay?
In Yancheng, it is inevitable to lose.
What to do next? Isn’t it clear?
Under Xue Jin's further instructions, the village leader was taught many times and asked people to find a piece of white cloth about ten feet long and write the words "Yancheng Qian family, give me justice"; and asked all the villagers to sit there
There were red handprints on the white cloth. At first glance, the long strip of cloth was almost entirely covered with bloody handprints, which was shocking to see;
They immediately rushed to the provincial capital. As soon as they entered the provincial capital, they took out this banner, shouted and cried, and walked around the main street of the provincial capital to win the support of the people in the provincial capital;
When he went to the provincial capital's Yamen to protest his grievances, he not only had to sue the Qian family for all kinds of things, but he also had to bring money to set a guarantee and sue them all together. He must be dragged into the water.
People have a natural fear of officials, so Muramasa was hesitant at first, but Xue Jin convinced him: "As long as Qian Dingbao can't be bothered, and the Qian family will be leaderless, you will definitely win. Rebuild your home and seek justice."
, it’s up to you to get compensation.”
This sentence immediately helped Muramasa make up his mind.
Xue Jin also encouraged them to seize the time and go to the provincial capital to try to get money to protect themselves from surprise.
Muramasa listened, collected money, summoned more than ten representatives, found a car, and hurried to the provincial capital...
Tao Ran also took people for a walk outside Qian's house, and then met a group of servants leaving Qian's house.
When I went up to ask, I found out that Qian Dingbao wanted to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so he fired more than 20 servants who were just slacking off.
Tao Ran asked his subordinates to take some money and talk to the servants.
Those servants were driven away inexplicably, and they were full of resentment. Someone paid money to buy gossip, so Balabala told everything about the master after he came back.
Only then did Tao Ran find out that Qian Dingbao had also taken away the belongings of the second room, and also heard that everyone in the second room had been imprisoned in the courtyard.
That's it
In this case, while Qian Dingbao is away, and half of the Qian family's servants have been sent away, and the manpower is empty, there is no reason for her not to do something.
A few minutes later, Tao Ran put on a disguise and a scarf, and took a car directly to the door of Qian's house.
Facing the concierge, she looked down upon him.
These days, Tao Ran is good at acting. Without her teaching, he raised his chin and said proudly: "Our girl is a medical girl from the palace. She used to treat the concubine. It is your eldest master who has been here since.
The provincial capital invited us to treat old lady Qian, but they didn’t let us in!"
Remembering that the eldest gentleman had indeed said that he would invite a doctor from the provincial capital when he left, the concierge naturally did not dare to stop her and led her inside in person.
Then, of course, almost three minutes later, the concierge was knocked unconscious and thrown into a corner.
The Qian family's backyard is no longer what it used to be.
With so many things happening in a row, the mansion is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and everything is desolate.
Tao Ran laughed.
Such a big house cannot be popular without people! No, she didn't even meet a few people along the way. With her familiarity with the terrain, she easily avoided face-to-face with people and arrived outside the second-bedroom courtyard with a familiar road.
She dealt with the woman guarding the courtyard door and took the key to unlock the courtyard door.
After entering, I found that the main room was also locked.
While she was looking for the key, she shouted: "Second Master and Second Grandma, things have changed in the house. I will try to find a way to let you out now."
"The sky has changed, why has the sky changed?" came the second grandmother's voice.
"Everything in the house has been sold by the uncle, and most of the servants have been driven away. The same goes for the servants. But I am grateful for your kindness, so before I leave, I will take advantage of the uncle to go to the provincial capital and let you out. You two can
You have to run away while the uncle is away."
Sure enough, when I heard this, I screamed inside.
Tao Ran chuckled, opened the door, and hid away.
It turns out that among the belongings of the second house that Qian Dingbao took away yesterday, in addition to the banknotes, there were also land deeds.
It was a second-term house that the second master secretly bought in the provincial capital when he took his family away from home. The Qian family's reputation in Yancheng has been completely ruined. Their original plan was to move to the provincial capital to start a new life after the separation.
of.
This house cost them most of their savings, and it is the foundation for their future life.
Last night they didn't expect that Qian Dingbao would rob him openly, and they didn't expect that Qian Dingbao would actually take away the land deed.
Now that they heard that Qian Dingbao had gone to the provincial capital, they could not be afraid that the beast would sell the house directly...
So as soon as the second house and his family escaped, they ran out in a rampage.
"It must be stopped immediately!"
"Don't even think about it! Even if I risk my life, I can't let him cut off our family's livelihood!" That house is not only their half-life savings, part of it is the second wife's dowry!
"Boss and second child, you go to my mother's house." The second wife ordered: "Look for your uncles and ask them to go to the provincial capital to meet them."
Just like that, the second family and his family rushed out with a group of more than ten people including their closest servants.
