Chapter 116 Things Are Getting More Complicated
Yu Xiaolian spent the night worrying, and the next day she was not in the mood to eat breakfast, so she ran to Shanyueju.

When passing by the vegetable market, Aunt Ge grabbed her and said that something big happened in Yangcheng again.

Yu Xiaolian is not in the mood to chat with Aunt Ge right now, and just wanted to say that she still has something to do, and we can talk another day, when Aunt Ge said quickly, "I heard that the brothers of the Pan family offended the prince of Huainan, and were sent by the prince The person who came was investigated and found guilty and imprisoned.”

It was only then that Yu Xiaolian remembered that Aunt Ge's man was the cook of the county government, so the news must have come quickly and accurately.

She wasn't in a hurry anymore, so she just listened to Aunt Ge telling her like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"I heard that there are several Pan family brothers who died, and the deaths of Ji Da and Ji Er are also because of them.

How powerful are Ji Da and Ji Er, and they fell into the hands of the Pan family like this. "

Aunt Ge's mouth has never been idle since morning, and when she catches a good relationship, she becomes a storyteller and tells vividly what she knows.

But I didn't tell anyone that I had a sense of accomplishment with Yu Xiaolian. Every time I talked about these things with this girl, this girl always looked like you are very powerful and know a lot.

Aunt Ge likes Yu Xiaolian's unseen appearance.

Yu Xiaolian cooperated with Aunt Ge every day, with a shocked expression throughout the whole process, listening with gusto.

Aunt Ge spoke dryly, seeing Yu Xiaolian's surprised little expression, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

Yu Xiaolian was very surprised, "So the brothers of the Pan family will wait for Qiuhou to ask to kill them?"

Aunt Ge lowered her voice, "What is it in autumn? In my opinion, in a few days, you will end up in an accidental death in prison."

Aunt Ge winked, as if she knew what was going on here.

Reminiscent of the plot of Jun Mobai's design in the book, Yu Xiaolian also understood a little bit.

It's just why Zheng Yuanfeng was sure that Jun Mobai would take action to clean up the Pan family?

Could it be that Zheng Yuanfeng also secretly participated in this?

Zheng Yuanfeng knew Jun Mobai?

Yu Xiaolian, who should cooperate with Aunt Ge's performance, fully cooperated and cheered.

I thought Aunt Ge would stop here, but I didn't expect Aunt Ge to have another breaking news.

"service?"

"The county government has already made a decision, one household and one town, and it is estimated that the notice will be posted in the next two days." Aunt Ge said that I have inside information and can't be wrong.

Yu Xiaolian was really blinded by the expropriation of corvees by the ancient government, and didn't understand anything, "My father is lame, so he has to serve?"

"Everyone over the age of fifteen and under the age of sixty must be requisitioned, and even the lame must go. Unless your father is a scholar, then you don't have to go."

"My father is not a scholar."

"It's hard labor, many people die every year, and a lame man like your father who works slowly will be beaten.

By the way, how many people are there in your family?Are you separated?If there is no separation, it is better to let your uncle or uncle go than to send your father to die. "

Yu Xiaolian realized at this time, no wonder the ancients did not separate families so easily.

One family, one member, if there is no separation, a large family, only one person can be sent to serve in the military.

"Ma'am, I don't know if you can use silver as a substitute?"

Yu Xiaolian was also a little worried, if the government wanted to forcibly confiscate, then Yu Changhe would suffer.

"Hey, you little girl, you know a lot, and you even know how to use silver as a servant.

If you don't want to be a corvee, as long as you pay enough service money, you can naturally be exempted from the service. "

Aunt Ge knew that Yu Xiaolian was selling shortbread, and because her mother was pregnant, she hadn't made it for a long time, so she wondered whether Yu Xiaolian's family could provide the service money.

Aunt Ge added, "The service money is thirty taels of silver, and the average family can't afford it."

Thirty taels is also an ordinary family, with seven or eight years of savings.

This has to be said that the family can earn money and save money.

But even if the family has saved so much money, they may not be willing to spend it on service money.

Therefore, most people would rather send people than pay service money.

Of course, none of the serious big businessmen are willing to do corvee, and most of them use silver as a substitute for labor.

But Yu Xiaolian's family's job of selling shortbread is three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Aunt Ge suspects that Yu Xiaolian's family can't afford thirty taels at all.

Corvée: The unpaid labor apportioned by the ancient government to the people.

The white workers who don't pay, it's not good if they don't go.

Yu Xiaolian is glad that her family has the ability to use money to serve as servants, but she also shed tears of sympathy for those who cannot afford to pay.

Aunt Ge looked at Yu Xiaolian's expression, and concluded in her heart that Yu Xiaolian's family had no money to pay for the service, and said worriedly, "If you are really worried about your father, I have a way to make money, it depends on whether you are willing or not." did it."

Yu Xiaolian looked like he was being educated humbly, "What method?"

Aunt Ge leaned closer to Yu Xiaolian's ear, "Listen to my family, the county magistrate Ke wants to make some suckling mouse wine. It's the kind of mouse that was just born and hasn't grown hair yet. If you can't, you can take your parents to the mountain to dig it. Let’s go to the mouse hole, when the time comes, you can take the suckling mouse and send it to County Magistrate Ke, maybe you can save your family’s service money.”

Yu Xiaolian: "...Suckling mouse wine?"

Can this stuff be drunk?

She was really disgusted.

Suppressing her nausea, she thanked Aunt Ge, and Yu Xiaolian planned to visit Shanyueju.

Before leaving, Aunt Ge also enthusiastically told her that there were many mouse holes in the rice fields, so she asked her to dig them.

"I remember it's a suckling mouse, but furry ones are not acceptable." Aunt Ge looked like an ordinary person, and I didn't tell her.

Yu Xiaolian gave a stiff smile and quickened her pace.

The thought of County Magistrate Ke's abnormal use of suckling rats to drink wine gave her disgusting goosebumps.

When we arrived at Shanyueju, the store door was open, but there were no customers in the store, only a few guys were cleaning up yesterday's mess.

Zheng Yuanye was not in the store either. Master Ma said that Zheng Yuanye was called away by an adult surnamed Fu, so he didn't leave for a long time.

Master Ma was also taken to the county government yesterday, and Yu Xiaolian asked him about it.

Master Ma said, "When I first arrived at the county government office yesterday, the county magistrate and master both turned to Pan's family to question our shopkeeper's guilt.

Later that Mr. Fu came, he was holding the token of Huainan prince's son, and the evidence of the crimes of the Pan family's fish and meat neighbors over the years.

County magistrate Ke saw that our Shanyueju had the eldest son as the backer, so he immediately followed suit and spoke to shopkeeper Zheng.

You don't know, according to the criminal evidence provided by Mr. Fu, there are several lives of the Pan family brothers. The county magistrate Ke said that he has no right to kill people. He has to report to the state government and ask the magistrate for instructions.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu took out a letter directly, and he didn't know what was written in the letter. County magistrate Ke read it, and sentenced the Pan family brothers Qiu Wen to beheaded in court. "

It was Jun Mobai's confidant Fu Qing who helped Shanyue live?
Yu Xiaolian had a premonition that things were getting more and more complicated.
