Yu Tang listened, his heart beating like a drum, and he said, "What do you want to say?"
Wei Xiaochuan said: "Their family takes in refugees, can we sue them?"
The imperial court has regulations that do not allow refugees to be taken in at will.
Because these refugees have no household registration and no land, it is easy for them to take risks and do things that endanger others for the sake of food and clothing. Usually when encountering such a thing, the yamen will either repatriate them back to their original place, or attach them to the place to reward them for opening up wasteland and settling down.
If what Wei Xiaochuan said is true, it would be wrong for the Li family to take in refugees like this.
In her previous life, she seemed to have heard that the Li family had such a farm, but she didn't pay attention at that time. Moreover, the reason why she had an impression of this farm was because the Li family felt that those refugees were not easy to control, and they wanted to drive those refugees out of the farm. After becoming an official, the official government came forward to calm the matter down.
Mrs. Lin was in a bad mood for several days because of this, and even lost her temper at home because of this, saying that one should not be too kind, and that the Li family's good deeds turned into bad deeds, and they will never take in these refugees again.
At that time, she also felt that those refugees did not know how to be grateful... But now, I am afraid that the situation is not what she understood in her previous life.
Maybe Wei Xiaochuan accidentally discovered an important clue by accident.
Yu Tang said: "After I came back from your house, I thought about it for a long time. I thought that if the Li family did something bad, where did they find them? After all, it is a human life. If they get the evidence and report it to the government, their family will also be punished." You need to sue. If you want to have no future troubles, it may be the hand of your own confidant in charge, or someone hired outside. I have checked the steward of the Li family, and they are all in the city. That night There is no one who is absent. Those hired outside, who dare to do this, must be helpers. I have also asked, the famous helpers in Lin'an City are in Lin'an City these days, and no one runs away... "
Wei Xiaochuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "So, the murderer who killed my second brother may be the refugee from that farm?"
Yu Tang gave a soft "hmm".
Wei Xiaochuan hurriedly said: "Then I will take a leave of absence and go to the farm tomorrow to see."
"No!" Yu Tang said, "If you are suspected, with your small body, you won't be able to run away. We can't be arrogant now."
"Okay!" Wei Xiaochuan said dejectedly, "I heard from my cousin that the people in the village are all well-dressed and well-dressed, but they don't do much work in the fields. There must be something strange about it. Be careful, don't be caught People found out that they killed people and silenced them. Didn’t you say that we can’t use our emotions?”
The Li family hired gangsters to kidnap her and ruin her reputation. What's the difference between killing her and killing her
Yu Tang said: "Don't worry, I won't go by myself, I will ask someone to help."
Wei Xiaochuan thought about it and thought it was ok, he said: "Then I'll go first. On the first day at the county school, the teachers will take roll call. I can't be late. If you have any news, please send me a letter."
Yu Tang couldn't keep him, so he hurriedly said, "You can go in my sedan chair! I'll pay the bill."
Wei Xiaochuan refused, and said: "I'll pass by the small path soon. Leave me alone. It's a pity that the people in our farm didn't see the faces of the two strangers clearly, otherwise I could take someone to identify them gone."
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Fortunately, the people in your farm didn't see what those two people looked like. If you took people there like you, even if they recognized them, they would have a way to shirk them. This matter cannot It's so simple and straightforward, you have to be smart. You go to school, and I will take care of this matter."
Wei Xiaochuan just wanted to complain, and left with his head down.
Yu Tang thought about this all night when she got home, and when it was almost dawn, she finally made up her mind and went to find Yu Wen.
Yu Wen and Mrs. Chen are sorting out all the things that have been counted at home, and are going to send them to Yu Bo's house. First, they will arrange Yu Yuan's marriage in a beautiful manner.
Yu Tang chatted with his parents for a few words, then winked at his father.
Yu Wen understood, and said to Chen Shi: "I remember that a friend came from Meizhou the year before last and brought us a piece of Shu brocade, you can find that as well and send it to Eldest Brother!"
The cloth was too hard, making it uncomfortable to make clothes, but the borders were very beautiful. The Chen family originally planned to leave it to Yu Tang, but when she heard Yu Wen say this, she couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, thinking that although the Shu brocade was rare, It's not that you can't buy it, but the price is more expensive. Fortunately, you don't need so many trims, so if you give it to Yu Yuan, you can give it to Yu Yuan. She responded and went to the warehouse.
Yu Wen found something for Chen Shi to do, so he felt relieved and went to the study with Yu Tang.
Yu Tang didn't know that the piece of Shu brocade that belonged to him was gone just like that.
She said to Yu Wen: "When I came back yesterday, I met the fifth son of the Wei family. He told me that when he went to give his grandfather a boxing gift on the Mid-Autumn Festival, he found that a farm not far from his grandfather's farm was Li's. Home, took in a lot of refugees... "
"There is such a thing!" Yu Wen was astonished, and said angrily, "If those refugees rioted, people would die in Lin'an City, wouldn't the Li family know? No, I have to talk to Magistrate Tang about this matter."
Yu Tang held back his father and said, "Father, you can't just go to Tang Zhifu like this."
Yu Wen was puzzled.
Yu Tang said: "Think about it, then the Li family can be regarded as a family of officials. Others don't know about the dangers of refugees. How could their family not know? If they can hire gangsters to take me into captivity, they can send those refugees to the house to make trouble. I It means that you might as well discuss it with Magistrate Tang first, and ask him to investigate in the name of the government. He said that someone reported that people who knew Japanese were taken in in the farm. It would be fine if the Li family only took in those people for good deeds. If something is wrong, Magistrate Tang naturally knows how to deal with it."
Yu Wen thought about it, and felt that this idea was better than going directly to Tang Zhifu himself.
You must know that he doesn't know that there are people taking in refugees under his rule. If nothing happens, his achievements in the past three years will be over if something happens, and his promotion will be affected if he is not dismissed. What's more, the Yu family and the Li family are already in conflict, so what if the Li family knows that he reported it? Could it be that if he doesn't report the Li family, the Li family will let the Yu family go
Yu Wen said: "I know what to say, you go to accompany your mother! Now the weather is getting colder and colder, I heard that Yang Yuyi will come to give the eldest wife of the Pei family a pulse in a few days, I want to ask him Come here and show your mother, you stare at your mother, don't let your mother catch a cold - if you catch a cold, you have to wait until the illness is cured before prescribing tonics, Doctor Yang may not be able to wait until then."
Ever since taking Yang Douxing's medicine, Chen has never been ill. Yu Wen's confidence in Yang Douxing's medical skills has greatly increased, and he feels that as long as he can always invite Yang Douxing to see patients, Chen's body will always be fine.
Yu Tang responded repeatedly.
Yu Wen went to the Yamen.
Yu Tang accompanied Mrs. Chen to sort out all the things that were going to be sent to the uncle's house, and when Yu Wen came back, they went to the uncle's house together.
On the way, Yu Tang asked his father, "What did Magistrate Tang say?"
Yu Wendao: "Prefect Tang thought that our family was going to take revenge on the Li family. Although he agreed to investigate, I didn't seem to be very active. I had an idea at the time. When I left, I said that I would go to Pei's house to ask Doctor Yang to help me see a doctor. He immediately It's different." At this point, he sighed and said, "I owe the Pei family another kindness, and I don't know when I can pay it back."
The main thing is that there is no way to pay it back.
Yu Tang couldn't think of anything else that Pei Yan lacked.
Especially Pei Yan has always felt that she has ulterior motives in everything she does, and she is very contemptuous.
Thinking of this, Yu Tang sighed a little depressed.
Forget it, she can only repay the Pei family's great kindness in the next life.
If she still has an afterlife
In just a few words, they arrived at Yu Bo's house, and the matter was stopped there.
Yu Tang asked A Shao to give some small silver to Ah Liu who sells pears in Xiaomeixi, and asked him to keep an eye on the Li family.
Within a few days, people in Lin'an City spread rumors that the Li family had taken in many refugees out of good intentions, but the magistrate Tang found out, and sent someone to check whether those refugees had committed crimes. Feeling guilty, the people from the yamen clashed with those refugees when they went in to investigate, and two yamen servants died.
The Li family turned pale with shock, and regretted that they took these people in for a while. The eldest son of the Li family personally dealt with the matter. Not only did he appease the farmers in the surrounding farms, but he also took money out to bury the two yamen servants generously and gave them a large pension.
Yu Tang sneered.
She didn't believe it, her trick to lure the snake out of the hole would fail.
It's just that if those two people appear, how can she get them.
Yu Tang was thinking about who to ask for help.
If only she could have a few more brothers!
She sighed there, Tang Zhifu suddenly came to visit Yu Wen.
Yu Tang asked Shuangtao to eavesdrop on a few words while serving tea to the magistrate Tang.
Shuangtao came to tell her: "Prefect Tang came to apologize to our master. Speaking of what happened last time, the eldest son of the Li family came to ask him in person, but he failed to hide it and told the eldest son of the Li family what happened. Fortunately, the eldest son of the Li family is sensible, and he said that he was sorry for our master. He also said that when the matter subsides, he will come to apologize in person, and don't mention it when he asks the master to go to Pei's house. After finishing speaking, she opened her eyes and asked Yu Tang curiously, "Miss, what happened? How come Zhifu Tang came to apologize to our master in person?"
"Don't worry about the master's affairs." Yu Tang dismissed Shuangtao perfunctorily, but in his heart he despised Zhifu Tang very much.
Where did he come to apologize to her father? He clearly came to tell her father that the Li family knew that the person who reported was her father, and he came to inform her father for the sake of the Pei family. He also told her father that Li Duan had already intervened in this matter, and if there was any gap between the Yu and Li families, it was none of his business.
No wonder Tang Zhifu had been a parent official in Lin'an for nine years before he was transferred away. With such a cowardly appearance of making peace with others, pleasing both sides, and not daring to take responsibility, it is only a ghost to be a high-ranking official!
Yu Wen was already ready to quarrel with the Li family, so naturally he didn't care about what Tang Zhifu said. He warmly entertained Tang Zhifu, talked about poetry and poetry with Tang Zhifu, and made an appointment to climb the heights to appreciate chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. The conflicts in the Li family were silent.
Tang Zhifu originally made this trip for the sake of the Pei family. If the Pei family continued to protect the Yu family, even if the Li family knew about it, they would be fine. If the Pei family doesn't care about it, and the Yu family hits a stone with an egg, he can only sigh at most.
He just needs to pick himself out. As for the rest, he doesn't want to offend people, and he has no ability to control it.
