"Who wants to live with you for a long time?" After Zhou's mother finished speaking, she turned to enter the door, but her heart was softer. In fact, she knew the most about these children. If you want to be reliable, you must be the fourth husband and wife. They are hardworking. , The mind is also alive, the most important thing is to know filial piety, then Li Fu found a Qian family back earlier, and also took the Qian family’s daughter to feed like her, she didn’t care about it. one's gift.

Even though she said that, she didn't say to go back. Yes, it's the same wherever you live in the slack farm now.

Moreover, she lives here to help with the children, and Li Qinghe can go up the mountain to chop wood with them, sometimes not to work, but to be with each other.

News soon came from the town. The one who ran away was Zhao Tianfu.

It was really unexpected.

When the two rushed to town when the two got the news, Zhao Tianfu had already been arrested. Both people who had been arrested earlier identified him. Even if he called out injustice, the case was still pieced together.

Zhao Tianfu found the two and asked Liu Cheng to catch the fish, and Yang Lanhong led the way. The three of them had Liu Cheng's brother selling the fish.

I said it a long time ago and sold it in the town. Anyway, the fish look the same. Who can prove that it is a fish in Li Qinghe's pond?

Zhao Tianfu’s family used to be okay, but when he came to him, he didn’t work all the year round, and the land was given to people, and half of the people who planted the land. In bad years, he didn’t have enough food and he liked to go shopping. Hualou and Huajiu, so it looks like Zhao’s family still has some old scenery on the outside, but the inside is actually not as good as before, and it is gradually no different from other houses in the village.

After the case was clarified, people who had nothing to do with the case were not allowed to enter, but there were a lot of people. The Yang family and Yang Lanrou were both there. The fish seller Liu's brother and wife came to Liu Cheng’s. On Zhao Tianfu's side, a beautiful woman of about 20 years old was crying with a child in her arms.

"It's almost like this inside." The mayor finished reading and closed the record booklet.

"Yesterday you said that if you find the culprit, you are willing to let my son go." Father Yang took the lead and pulled Liu Yuan off and asked, "Right?"

Liu Yuan also said, "Yes, so we asked the mayor to find out so quickly."

The hidden meaning is that they have taken care of the mayor, and they have done their best.

Zhou Chengkang accepted, "I did say that I want the culprit to be punished. But they are wrong for stealing, and they cannot be let go. The law stipulates that anyone who steals more than two hundred wen of property will only take two years. Instructing others to steal property. For five years."

His voice fell, and everyone in the room didn't look pretty.

Father Yang closed his eyes and said, "They stole two buckets of fish from your family, and the three of us bought the two buckets of fish together. Is this all right?"

Change the concept! Obviously it was stealing fish, but it was said to be buying fish.

"It's not that our fish can't be sold." Li Qinghe sneered, "It sounds like we are relying on you to buy two buckets of fish on purpose. Don't sell!"

Father Yang also discovered that the couple seemed to have a holiday with him. They lived in the neighborhood and had never given him a good face.

"Then what do you want?" Liu Yuan sighed, "If we can, we are willing to give some compensation, as long as you let them go."

"And us." The beautiful woman over there hugged the child in her arms and cried, "My child is less than half a year old. If his father is arrested like this, how can he live in the village from now on? And me, if I stay at home alone...I might as well die."

She held the child and knelt down facing the mayor, "Mayor, please help..."

There was only her gentle cry in the room, which made people feel pity. At this moment, another person came in outside, it was Zhao Wanwan. She seemed to be running over, panting and carrying Hu Yanxi.

Seeing Zhao Tianfu kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Father, I heard that you were arrested by the mayor. What happened?"

"Stealing fish." The mayor explained, "There are three people together. The two over there were caught face-to-face. They recognized him. But Zhao Tianfu is the mastermind. One person sells the fish, the other recognizes the way, and the three are equally divided."

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law came, Zhao Tianfu suddenly said, "I don't plead guilty. I slept well at home that night, and my wife can testify."

The beautiful woman stopped crying and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, he hasn't gone out in the past half month, and sleeps at home every day."

The mayor ignored their sophistry and said, "The problem now is that they all want to be private and are discussing."

Zhao Wanwan stepped forward, "Sister, my father would not do such a thing."

Speaking of it, it was the first time they met since they met in the hospital. For Zhao Wanwan, it was the first time they met after Hu Yanxi passed the exam. Li Qinghe looked at her, "You tell me it's useless, it's not me who identified your father as the thief, it's them."

Her expression was very plain, Zhao Wanwan met such a look, but remembered that Li Qinghe had taken her to the town to help people cook when she went home after being injured, and the sister who helped her buy hairpins, this moment seemed to be far away from her.

She was in a daze for a while, and looked at Hu Yanxi for help.

Hu Yanxi stepped forward, "Sister and brother-in-law are all in the same family. Is it better to be private?"

"The law is very strict in stealing, but they were caught on the spot. That is to say, if they weren’t stolen, their sentence was reduced by half according to the law. Besides, if something like this happened in Luoyue Town, we would still make trouble in the county. Yuezhen’s reputation is also bad, Mayor, right?"

The last sentence was asked by the mayor. Hu Yanxi is now a scholar, but the mayor is only a child. That's it. Although he didn't take the county test every time, he occasionally took the test. The two are considered to know each other.

Li Qinghe looked down, and it was true that scholars were different, and they were very good at catching loopholes.

In fact, both she and Zhou Chengkang knew in their hearts that since the mayor wanted to find them and these people, he still wanted to be private, otherwise he would just send the people to the county, and he would have to do anything about it.

"You have said something wrong." Zhou Chengkang looked at him, "We are not a family, not even relatives. Therefore, this matter is better handled by business."

Hu Yanxi's expression was unhappy. Since he was admitted as a talent, the whole Luoyue Town, no matter who knew him or didn't know him, would give a bit of face. At least there was a smiling face, and Zhou Chengkang's attitude of disregarding clearly didn't see him.

Zhou Chengkang didn’t care what he thought, saying, “Since it’s going to be private, I don’t know how much money is appropriate. Let’s be less, they have not been punished, what if there is another time? I don’t want to run every day and night. Come out and catch the thief."

"It's up to the mayor to decide."

Everyone’s eyes fell on the mayor, and he frowned slightly, “He’s also right, it’s better...you each give ten taels of silver, as for the mastermind of adding blessing, twenty taels."

I knew he had a private idea!

A few tens of taels of silver is enough for these people to suffer once, and it should be a pain that can be remembered for a lifetime. I shouldn't dare to dare next time, the mayor has done something very measured, not only to cover up the thief in Luoyue Town, but also to let them know that the pain should not be committed again.

In fact, the three offenders here, except for Zhao Tianfu, should be able to get them.

"Twenty taels!" Zhao Wanwan exclaimed.

The faces of Father Yang and Liu Yuan over there were not good, "Mayor, will it be too many? This normal family has been producing for several years..."

"I'm not talking nonsense." The mayor said solemnly, "If you don't agree, I will send you directly to the county seat. The magistrate will decide."

The room was quiet, if they were willing to go to the county seat and the magistrate to convict them, they wouldn't come to pester for so long.

Zhao Wanwan whispered, "My father doesn't have so much talent."

Zhao Tianfu frowned, "Can you write an IOU?"

"Yes!" Father Yang woke up, "Can you write an IOU? I will write twelve taels and pay it off next year."

Who wants to entangle with them, Li Qinghe said directly, "If you give the money, let me go, IOU... What's the use of writing a hundred taels of money I can’t get? I don’t need IOU!"

Zhou Chengkang answered, "In just two days, within two days, if I didn't get the silver, it would be useless for anyone to intercede."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Li Qinghe and said goodbye to the mayor, "There is still something in our house. If we have all the money, please find someone to let us know."

The two went out and got on the carriage and went home!

Without stopping all the way, when the carriage left the yard, Zhao Wanwan hurriedly chased it out.

Not only that, she also chased her home, the Yang family next door, and Father Yang also came and knocked on the door. They didn't see anyone or even opened the door.

On the contrary, Liu Yuan paid the money in the afternoon that day and took the man back.

Then, in the past two days, I just heard that Father Yang was borrowing money from the village next door, and even Yu Yan at the back had borrowed them, all at 20% interest, which really let him borrow.

It was Zhao Tianfu who also sold his old blue brick house for enough money.

Two days later, Li Qinghe and the two went to the mayor's house again and got forty taels of silver.

The mayor smiled, "The silver is here, do you want to weigh it?"

"No, we trust you." Zhou Chengkang pushed the silver in front of him instead. "We don't take this silver back. We want to buy land, which is close to the mountain behind my house and measure it over there."

Hearing this, the mayor was a little surprised, "Buy all the money for land?"

"Buy it all." Zhou Chengkang said firmly.

Hearing what he said, the mayor finally reacted. The imperial court is willing to change this barren mountain any time. If it is done, it will be a great feat for him. The smile on his face bloomed, "The barren mountain is even more It’s cheap, because it’s a slope, and you can’t change the land. If you agree to one or two dollars per mu, I will write the deed now and let someone follow you to measure it.”

"Write!" Zhou Chengkang said immediately.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all prepared. Originally, the money was drawn and pledged. After Zhou Chengkang painted and pledged on the private contract, the mayor began to write the contract.

Seeing him pick up the pen, Zhou Chengkang hurriedly said, "Write Li's Qinghe."

Not only the mayor was surprised, but Li Qinghe was also surprised. Zhou Chengkang smiled at her, "I said, everything in the house belongs to you, including me!"

Li Qinghe's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he reached out to touch his face, "Don't worry, I will treat you well."

The mayor only felt that his teeth were sore and he was a little envious. Thinking of his old wife, he would be better to her when he went back.

The two of them didn't get the money, and they took a copy of the deed that the ink hadn't dried and left the mayor's home. It was too late today, and they agreed to take a measurement tomorrow morning.

The author has something to say: it's late today, no more, see you tomorrow afternoon.
