Qian took out a bunch of coins and together with Xiao Qian divided the thousand copper coins into ten strings, each string was worth a hundred coins.
The village chief couldn't help but look over and over again. Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were counting very fast, he couldn't help but ponder. There were very few people in the village who could count people so fast, even when counting money.
It seems that since Manbao went to school, the number of people in Lao Zhou's family has become particularly powerful. Sometimes in the village, you can hear the children of Lao Zhou's family counting one, two, three, four...
This matter has been weighing on my mind for so many years, and Lao Zhoutou naturally couldn't wait any longer. He shook out the baggage that the yamen servant had brought, took out the two tattered clothes and shoes inside, put the money in, and the yamen's gift.
notice, and then walked out together with the village chief.
Standing at the door, the village chief asked, "Whose house do you want to find?"
"Go to Uncle Lai first and see if he is willing..." Old Zhoutou has already thought of the order, which is based on the relationship with his family.
The village chief had no objection, nodded and said: "Zhou Hu's family should be fine, and Daliang's father's place..."
The village chief naturally thought about it and realized that these families had a good relationship with the old Zhou family, and they had all been taken care of by Zhou Yin to some extent.
Lao Zhou nodded and headed to his uncle's house under the bright sun.
At this time, Man Bao was eating cheese with her head depressed. Because it was iced and cold, she felt better after taking several bites.
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang also sat aside and ate with gusto.
Mrs. Liu stood outside the window and took a look, then turned and left. Daji followed silently.
Aunt Liu glanced at him and said nothing. When she arrived at the main courtyard, she stood under the eaves and asked the girls to make tea or get ice basins. She immediately ordered the people in the courtyard to leave.
Daji followed Mr. Liu inside and stood aside with his hands hanging down.
Mrs. Liu put her hand on the table and pressed down a letter. She took the tea bowl and took a sip and asked, "Did Man Bao say anything?"
"It's said that the government officials came to report the funeral, and the Zhou family has already received the notice," Daji paused and said, "Miss Man complained that the government officials who came were too greedy. They ate and took things from the Zhou family and spoke rudely. She was a little angry.
.”
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Children, it is normal to be energetic. It seems that Mr. Wei just made arrangements in Liangzhou."
Daji lowered his head and said nothing.
On the third day of the lunar new year, when his family was in a mess and doing business, a letter was delivered to him. As soon as he saw the signature of the letter, he knew it was from the capital. He was hesitant to send it to Yi immediately.
I wanted to go to the state, but I stopped when I saw that there was no expedited message.
This morning Mrs. Liu had just returned home and sat down. After dealing with her daughter-in-law and returning to the courtyard, Daji quietly came back from the school and handed Mrs. Liu the letter she had always carried with her.
The letter was sent by someone from Wei Zhi, and it contained the latest news about Yizhou.
Last year, half of the cases involving the bursting of the Jianwei Weir were sentenced a year ago. The governor of Yizhou, Mr. Yan, was sentenced to beheading, having his family confiscated, and being exiled among the three clans. Countless officials were also implicated, and they were all beheaded.
, the exile of exile.
However, the verdict of Yizhou Jiedushi and Yizhou King has not yet been issued. The court has been quarreling over this matter for almost a year. Yizhou Jiedushi, Mr. Huang, has been detained, while Yizhou King has been left in the capital.
, except that he cannot leave Beijing, he is free.
In April, the emperor finally passed the verdict, Lord Huang was exiled, and King Yizhou was reprimanded, and at the same time, the fiefdom of a county was taken back as punishment.
Wei Zhi told Mrs. Liu that June was the Empress Dowager's first thousand years, and it was impossible for the emperor to kill the King of Yizhou. Not to mention that they did not have conclusive evidence that the breach of the Jianwei Weir was related to the King of Yizhou, but there was...
In the absence of rebellion, the emperor could not have killed the king of Yizhou.
Ms. Liu squeezed the letter in her hand tightly, and it took her a long time to suppress her emotions and continue reading. At the end of the letter, Wei Zhi told Mr. Liu that he had arranged a new origin for Zhou Yin to ensure that the Zhou family would escape from this matter.
But Mrs. Liu had to ensure that the Zhou family would accept the documents sent by the government. If the county government recognized that the person who died in Liangzhou was Zhou Yin, then the Zhou family would have to recognize it.
Otherwise, if the Zhou family insists that he is not one of their own, the county government will have no choice but to investigate further and cannot force them to admit it.
But in fact, the situation here in Qili Village is the best to control. The Zhou family's mentality, and even the mentality of the entire Qili Village villagers, can be easily controlled. As long as they grasp what they want in this matter, they want to achieve it.
The goal is very simple.
And what they want is very simple.
It's safe!
Sure enough, the Zhou family accepted the matter without much hesitation.
Mrs. Liu drank tea and her mood improved slightly. She put the letters on the table away and planned to hide them.
These things will be evidence if the case is overturned in the future.
She comforted herself and said: Although the future is still bleak, she finally knows who the young couple who reached out to help her son were; she also found an ally with status in the court; and now she will remove the Zhou family from this incident.
It was temporarily removed, making them much safer...
These are all good things, right?
The most important thing is that her grandson is growing up safe, healthy, and smart.
If you can't turn it over in three years, then five, ten, or even fifteen years...
Mrs. Liu calmed down, raised her head and said to Daji: "You should follow the young master and Miss Man closely on weekdays, don't let them be too naughty, and study hard with Mr. Zhuang..."
Daji bowed in agreement.
Mrs. Liu then waved her hand for him to go down.
Aunt Liu came in quietly and gave Mrs. Liu a cup of tea.
Mrs. Liu smiled at her and asked, "Is Liu Gui still in the field?"
Liu Gui is the son of Grandma Liu. He was originally in charge of Zhuangzi in Longzhou. He came to settle accounts at the end of last year. For some reason, Liu kept him here.
The few acres of land growing fruits, vegetables and some wheat and rice not far from Bai's house are now under his control. He quietly built several stone houses nearby, and he usually lives there.
He didn't live in the Bai family's servant room.
That piece of land was Mr. Bai's field, so basically no one from Qili Village went there. In addition, the Bai family didn't hire anyone to build a house in the village. It wasn't until the beginning of spring that the villagers realized that there was something going on there.
There are three to five stone houses.
After asking, I found out that it was the Baijiajian who came to live with people and raise cattle and sheep.
When the villagers found out, they couldn't help but were speechless. They felt that the Bai family's cattle and sheep lived better than they did.
Because I rarely go there, no one knows that there are actually seven or eight people living there. Usually only one or two will appear in front of people, and the others rarely go to the village or the Bai family.
Grandma Liu didn't know what the old lady was doing, and she wouldn't ask. She just bowed and said: "In the field, they say that the melons grown at home have worms, and they are catching the worms."
"Let him come here and I'll ask him about things in the fields."
