C92 (2/2)
Kuang Ruyue looked at the tall and big back of Gao Lang who was in front of him, and unconsciously sighed.
She had heard Gui Qi talk about Gao Lang's situation at noon, but from the looks of it, she felt that Gao Lang was just a little childish. When he should be smart, he was not stupid at all.
By the time she reached Wellhead Village, it was already close to evening. Jin Xiaolou went to the yamen and reported the case.
The miss was surnamed Nian, but he was young, but he was still a righteous man, and immediately sent two bailiffs to follow Jin Xiaolou to the Jin Family to deal with this matter.
The yamen runner knocked on the gate for a long time before anyone came to open it.
He opened the door halfway, revealing Madame Xu's face.
After not seeing her for a while, Madame Xu had grown even more plentiful.
It was unknown whether it was because Jin Xiaotao had married into the County Magistrate Mansion, or because Madame Wu could not stand by and lacked the energy to be mean to her.
When the Madame Xu saw that it was a bailiff, she immediately panicked and shouted towards the inside: ”Someone from the government!”
Madame Wu was lying on her bed, and upon hearing that someone from the official's house thought that they were here to investigate Jin Dacheng's death, she immediately became alert, and shouted towards the neighboring room: ”Qing Xia, go and take a look!”
Hearing the voices in the house, Xu Sanhui opened the door and welcomed the old master. Unexpectedly, there were actually Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou behind the two yamen runners.
All the men were in the fields, only the women were left in the house, and the three granddaughters had left again. The courtyard was empty, and the smell of decay and defeat permeated the air.
Jin Xiaolou looked around her. The Jin Family was different from before, she would not feel sad, but she was not happy either. She felt that this was the fate of her family.
The Madame Zhou was panicking as she ran out. Just as she was about to cry with the yamen runner, she saw Jin Xiaolou from behind and immediately became angry.
He raised the broom by the wall and was about to hit Jin Xiaolou.
Before Gao Lang could make a move, two bailiffs had already suppressed the Madame Zhou: ”What, you want to blatantly commit murder?”
Those who stayed in the yamen for too long naturally had a dignified aura around them. With a straight face and a shout, they caused the Madame Zhou to not be able to vent her anger at all.
She started to sob, pointed at Jin Xiaolou and said, ”The adults need to help the farmers, my family's greatest achievements are all caused by them getting killed!”
Therefore, once they entered the Wellhead Village, they split up from Huang Guizhi. and came over to the Jin Family, and Gui Zhi went to deliver a wheelchair to the Zhou family.
After Jin Xiaolou took back her silver, she would go to the Zhou Mansion to meet up with Gui Qi.
Hearing the woman cry, the bailiff's head hurt, and he shouted sternly: ”It's all the same to you, Jin Dacheng's case is already settled, today we are here for Jin Xiaolou's matter!”
”Jin Xiaolou?” Madame Zhou wiped her tears, ”What's the matter with her?”
”What is it?” One of the bailiffs glared at them, ”You guys stole their money, a whole three hundred taels. Hand it over quickly!”
”Three hundred taels!” Madame Zhou's legs had gone soft, how would she know about this?
Madame Xu's heart trembled even more. She took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and did not fall down.
Liu Yuyan and Liu Jiedi were originally playing with Yuanbao in the house. Ever since Jin Dacheng's death, when Liu Yuyan saw that her Jin Family was growing weaker and weaker, and with his younger sister's urging him to split up, he decided to stay with the other two families all day long. Hearing the noise in the yard, she couldn't help but hold the child in her arms and open the door. She leaned against the door and listened carefully.
Jin Xiaolou didn't need to look to know that the Madame Zhou and the Madame Xu really didn't know. When these two added together, they were inferior to a single Liu Yuyan.
Madame Zhou and Madame Xu had no idea what to do, so they quickly went into the house to help Madame Wu up onto a chair and carried him out.
But Madame Wu had always been a sly old fox, how could she be willing to let go?
The bailiff was no pushover, as he rolled his eyes and snappily replied, ”It's fine if you don't have any silver notes. Just like that son of the Tan family, you can just drag him on to become a strong man!”
”Jin Xiaofeng deceived a hundred and fifty silver taels, dragged a man away. Your Jin Family stole three hundred silver taels from Jin Xiaolou, then you need to drag two men out!” The bailiff glanced over the faces of the women in the yard. ”You guys can discuss this. Whichever two men don't want to live, come with me!”
