Chapter 207 208 Beat up the Drowned Dog

Butler Hu returned to Hu's house dejectedly. When Hu San and her son saw Butler Hu's appearance, they knew something was wrong. Mrs. Hu said in a trembling voice, "Has the master been killed by those unruly people?"

Butler Hu told Hu San and his son what he saw in the village, squatted on the ground, held his head and said: "The master was arrested by those people, and the Yamen are also with them, madam! Master, don't you You know, that woman is actually a first-class lady. I can’t get rid of it this time. Maybe the county magistrate will be implicated by us too. Madam, young master, you’d better pick up some valuables and run away!”

Hu San shouted loudly: "You're talking nonsense! Nothing will happen to my father. Mom, as soon as it gets light, go to the city to find your sister!"

"Okay, Mom, I will listen to you. I will go to your sister at dawn. Hu Cheng, go and prepare some banknotes and send them to your aunt tomorrow." Butler Hu could only nod in agreement.

The next day, Butler Hu walked to the door and asked about the stench, "What's going on? Why is it so smelly?" Butler Hu muttered, covered his mouth and nose, opened the door, and saw that the door and the gate were covered with odor. He couldn't even get out of the door because of the excrement. Butler Hu turned around in disgust and ran towards the yard, "Where did the people die? Come quickly and clean the door."

The Yamen opened the courtyard door of the village chief's house and walked out of the village. He found villagers standing on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village. Some were holding rotten vegetable clappers in their hands, and some were holding mud. They were escorting Mr. Hu and his servants towards the Yamen. It was just a burst of smashing, "beat this bitch to death, beat him to death..." Mr. Hu was covered in mud and vegetables, and the angry villagers rushed forward and kicked and punched him.

After traveling for half a month, he finally lay down comfortably and peacefully in bed. Li Yu slept until dawn and got up refreshed.

When Yu Niang saw Li Yu getting up, she smiled and said, "Young madam, the two brothers, Master A Qing and Master Xu, have already taken the villagers to the county government office. You don't know, there are so many people here this morning, dozens of them." There are some! Some of their fields were occupied, some of their family members were bullied, and the villagers surnamed Hu were beaten to a black and blue face! I heard that someone even poured excrement on the door of the Hu family!"

Li Yu smiled and said: "He deserves to be beaten for doing so many bad things! Let's go to the county government office to have a look!"

Yu Niang responded crisply: "Hey!"

Li Yu went to the lobby of the big inn and ordered two bowls of noodles. After a while, the innkeeper came with the noodles. After Li Yu and Yu Niang finished eating, he walked to the table and bowed and said: "Madam, yours is Is the shop really for sale?

Li Yu nodded, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "I want to buy it, how much silver will it cost?"

"I don't know the exact price either. I will buy whatever the market price is!"

"Mrs. Dissatisfied said that a shop like mine can currently sell for one hundred and twenty taels. Your shop is in a better location. I can add a little more money!"

Li Yu knew that the price was probably about this, and said cheerfully: "Okay, it's only one hundred and thirty taels of silver. If you want to buy it, just follow me to the county government office to transfer the ownership! Hey! I remember I didn't hear you say you wanted to buy a shop yesterday. ?”

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "To be honest, I didn't plan to buy a shop at first. It was only when I saw Mr. Hu was arrested this morning that I decided to buy it! The people in that house are nothing. It’s so chaotic that many people simply don’t come to Qingshui Town to attend the market, preferring to go to a market town farther away! As soon as he is caught, the town will become lively! "

Li Yu stood up and said, "Oh! We are going to Qingshan now, so just come with me to check in!"

"Madam, please come!" Several people went to the county government office together. Seeing that the gate of the county government office was crowded with people watching the excitement, Yu Niang said to Li Yu: "Young madam, there are so many people watching the excitement, let's go take a look? "

The innkeeper said to Li Yu: "Madam, just go and have a look, I will help you park the carriage at the carriage house and come find you again!"

Li Yu also wanted to see how many people would sue the Hu family, so he said politely: "Then I'll bother the shopkeeper."

Yu Niang separated the crowd in front, and she and Li Yu crowded in front of the wooden fence at the entrance of the county government hall. They saw thirty or forty men of various ages kneeling in the hall. Li Qing stood in front of the hall and read the complaint in his hand.

In the front of the lobby hangs a picture of the sea and the rising sun, and directly above it hangs a mirror with four characters of gold hanging high. Li Yu thought to himself that this is the same layout as the Qingchuan County government office, but the county magistrate is far behind compared to Xiao Xi. .

The county magistrate, who was far different from Xiao Xi, was looking at Mr. Hu kneeling in the lobby with an unlucky look on his face, thinking: Damn it, I just took your daughter as my concubine, you can fucking beat her Under my banner, you have done so many evil things and plundered so much money. It seems that I am helping you become an official! If you expose such a big fool, I might not be able to keep my black hat. Sure enough, beauty can harm people!

Li Yu watched for a while and then left with Yu Niang. Outside, he saw the innkeeper waiting there. Several people went to the Yamen Book Office to apply for the transfer documents. The innkeeper paid Li Yu one hundred and thirty taels of silver. .

Li Yu went to Yahang again and listed four shops in Qingshan City for rent. After doing this, Li Yu and Yu Niang walked around the street and felt hungry again, so they went to eat something. , Li Yu said to Yu Niang: "Why am I sleepy again? There is nothing interesting to see in the city. Let's go back!"

Yuniang saw that Li Yu kept covering his mouth and yawning, "You also look a little tired. You must be tired these days."

The two went to the horse and carriage shop to pick up the carriage and returned to Qingshui Town. Li Yu returned to the guest room, lay down and fell asleep.

Yu Niang looked at Li Yu who was sleeping deeply and thought to herself: The young lady has always been sleepy these days, just like when Xiaoyu was pregnant with the baby. Could it be that the young lady is pregnant? It seems that I need to find a doctor to take a look at Madam.

Li Qing returned to Qingshui Town in the afternoon. After entering the inn, he took the banknote for compensation from the Hu family to find Li Yu. When he saw Yu Niang sitting at the door of Li Yu's guest room doing needlework, he asked strangely: "Sister Yu Niang, I Is sister taking a rest?"

Yu Niang whispered: "The young lady has been sleeping since she returned to the inn at the end of noon. Master Aqing, please find a doctor to take the young lady's pulse. I'm worried that the young lady is tired these days."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Qing became worried after hearing this, quickly put the banknotes in his pocket, turned around and left.

When Li Yu got up, he saw the doctor waiting outside with Li Qing. Li Yu looked at Li Qing and saw that his face was rosy and did not look uncomfortable. He asked strangely: "Ah Qing , are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

Li Qing helped Li Yu sit down and said with a smile: "Sister, I asked the doctor to come here to take a look at you."

Li Yu felt warm in his heart and glanced at Li Qing angrily, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all! I just feel a little tired!"
