Chapter 2056 Being a relative of the county head?
"People who can have this kind of thinking are not ordinary vicious people. I am worried that after the Lao family returns from the county town, I guess they will settle accounts with the Xiao family. Even if it is not clear, it is very likely to come to Yin."
"You're right." Murong said, "This kind of thing is indeed possible. Why don't you do it like this, second brother, you will come over early tomorrow morning, I will still go to collect medicine, if the Lao family really comes. , you send a signal to me, and I will come as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Murong Xuan nodded: "That's all it is now."
The two said a few more words and quickly returned to the inn.
And when Lao Jianwei brought his nephew to the county office, Zhou Taiping had not left. He heard that someone came to see the Lao brothers, so he asked them to tell the verdict against the Lao brothers and ask them to take out the money. Only then can I see the Lao brothers.
Hearing that his family wanted to compensate the Xiao family for twenty taels of silver, Lao Jianwei immediately refused.
However, I heard from the official that if he didn't want to, his child would have to suffer an extra 200 bans and two more years of hard labor, and he would not be able to see his child. He proposed to see Lord Zhou, but Zhou Taiping was rejected. he.
Lao Jianwei had no choice but to give the money that he was going to use to bribe Zhou Taiping to the officials as compensation to the Xiao family, and then he saw his child.
As soon as walked into the cell where he was being held, he saw Lao Sunwei, Lao Sunji, and their two younger brothers lying on the weeds in the prison, moaning in pain.
They just suffered a hundred big boards.
The two small bodies are not as good as the big ones. At this time, they have already passed out. Even if they are in a coma, they are still panting and moaning.
As for the two big ones, the body is better, and there is still some consciousness at this time.
Hearing footsteps in the prison, the two looked up dejectedly and saw their father and cousin walking over.
The two waited for the jailer to open the door and immediately walked in.
Lao Jianwei squatted beside the eldest son anxiously, and said worriedly: "My son, why have you all become like this, what happened to the third and fourth?"
Lao Sun Qian took a look and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, the third and fourth just passed out."
"That's good." Lao Jianwei looked at his eldest son: "What the **** is going on today? Why are you all suddenly imprisoned? The county magistrate is fine, why did he fall?"
Lausun explained everything that happened in the morning.
"That's the way it is, that Murong Lingran didn't expect that she was the county owner, and the county magistrate also wanted to give her some face. Also, the prefect Zhou, the prefect, came here today, and the son next to Murong Lingran was not an ordinary person. The evidence of corruption by the county magistrate was handed over to Lord Zhou, so that's why we have become like this."
"County head?" Lao Jianwei was shocked: "What did you say? The Xiao family actually has a relative who is the county head? Did you hear it right? Didn't their family have been assigned before? How could they be the county head? ?"
Lao Sunwei said: "Father, the prefect treats Murong Lingran very respectfully, there must be nothing wrong, and she also has a gold medal, which says that she won't die, the prefect knelt down to her as soon as he saw it, and said Long live long live, seeing the gold medal is like seeing His Majesty the Emperor."
Lao Jianwei frowned and said: "I never thought that the girl's identity was so high, no wonder she looks like she is not afraid of the sky and the earth, it turns out that she is the county owner, and what kind of gold medal is there to avoid death? Now things will be troublesome. ."
