Traveling through ancient times and marrying a ruffian

Chapter 54

It's not thanks to the person who came.

"Aunt Wu, why are you here?" Since Mother Xie left, Aunt Wu has not come frequently.She is also busy, and there are grandchildren at home to take care of.

It turned out that when Xie's mother was around, it was her entertainment to come over to talk and relieve boredom.

After Xie's mother left, she didn't have much to say to the juniors, so she didn't come here frequently, that is, she walked around during the holidays.

Shen Mumu's expression was not very good looking at her, flustered and anxious, he couldn't tell what emotion it was.

"San'er, daughter-in-law, is San'er back?" Aunt Wu didn't say what she was here for, she turned her body to look inside, and only asked Xie Yu if she was back.

"No, I haven't been home since I went out in the morning." Shen Mumu moved slightly to show her.At night, Aunt Wu came over in a panic, and Uncle Wu also followed, not knowing what happened.

"Oh, it's possible that he was taken away." Aunt Wu slapped her thigh, and her voice became crying.

"What was taken away?" Shen Mumu asked, Aunt Wu's words began to make her uneasy.

"They were all taken away, everyone in Wing Lee Square was taken away! Oh, what a crime this is. The old Wu family has never done anything against the law. How can God have the heart to let the son of this generation of single pass suffer? Ah." Aunt Wu was very excited, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Shen Mumu looked back at his younger brother standing behind him, Shen Wenyuan shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand either.

"Aunt Wu, don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?" Shen Mumu held Aunt Wu's shoulders with both hands, comforting her.

"In the afternoon, Qiangzi didn't go back to eat. In the past, when he came home late, his family members thought he was busy, so they didn't go to see him. Unexpectedly, his aunt came over later, saying that Qiangzi was arrested by the county government. The person took it away." Aunt Wu began to wipe away tears as she spoke, Wu Qiang was her only son, and she gave birth to three girls before him, and it was not easy to have him.

She is usually very pampered, but now that she is arrested, she is in a mess and has no rules.

"Well, how could this happen? Qiangzi is working hard as a clerk in Yonglifang, and the people in the county government, why would they take him away?"

"It's not just him, everyone in the workshop has been taken away!" Uncle Wu, who had been silent behind Aunt Wu, answered her words.

Shen Mumu's eyelids twitched: "Do you know why?"

"I don't know why, that is, the person who knew him saw him and told his aunt, and her aunt came over in a hurry." Uncle Wu sighed, "I originally wanted to thank the steward. If you come back, ask him what happened. It seems that Manager Xie was also taken away."

taken away?Shen Mumu's heart was beating violently, there was a servant from the government office last time, but this time he was directly arrested?
"My husband hasn't come back since he went out in the morning. I went to the county to pick up Xiaoyuan during the day, but I didn't know anything about it." Shen Mumu calmed down his frantic mood, feeling that his heart was not beating so fast, and then Open your mouth and say.As soon as she made a sound, she realized that her throat was extremely dry.

"My old lady and I thought that if Manager Xie came back, maybe he would know what happened. If he didn't come back, that's fine. My old lady and I are going to the county. Do you want to go too?"

Shen Mumu was about to agree.

Mrs. Hu's family came over. As soon as she saw someone, Mrs. Hu quickly walked over and took Shen Mumu's hand and said, "Big sister, my poor big sister..."

Seeing Hu Tuhu's serious face, Shen Mumu knew that Xie Yu was really taken away.Mrs. Hu and the others must have got some news, come and have a look.

She was a little flustered, the situation happened so suddenly, she didn't know what to do next.

When Butcher Hu saw his daughter-in-law, he rushed forward and was about to cry, so he immediately stopped him, "Okay, don't scare your siblings, is this the time to cry? Think about what to do, brother Xie is locked up .”

Last winter, Xie Yu made an appointment with him to go hunting.They slept together in thatched huts, drank spirits, and ate barbecue. Although they were not often together, their relationship was better than one level.It's not unreasonable for him to say what he cares about.

"I feel sorry for my sister..." Mrs. Hu felt a little embarrassed when she was scolded in front of everyone.Knowing that he was doing something wrong, he muttered a few words.

"Okay, I know you are distressed, and when the matter is resolved, you can talk as long as you like." Butcher Hu is a man who also knows his wife's temperament, so he slapped her and gave her a sweet date, and it went smoothly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hu stopped screaming after hearing this, and calmly asked Shen Mumu: "Sister, what do you think?"

"I'd better go to the county first and talk about it when I meet someone." Shen Mumu replied.Now I only know that the person was taken away, but I don't know why.You can proceed to the next step only after asking Xie Yu.

"Okay, let's go now." Mrs. Hu is impatient and can't wait for a moment.

"Sister-in-law, you don't want to go. I don't worry if the children are at home. Xiaoyuan will trouble you to take care of them." Shen Mumu didn't want sister-in-law Hu and the others to follow. The lawsuit is stained with relationships.If Xie Yuzhen committed a crime, the farther their relationship is, the better.

"Wu Auntie, wait for me for a while, I'll go and pack up, and I'll come out right away." Seeing Wu Aunt nodding, Shen Mumu returned to the bedroom as quickly as possible, took all the silver he could get, and didn't leave a single coin .After thinking about it, he also took the token hidden at the bottom of the dowry box.Don't know if it will work, but it's better than nothing.

When she was tidying up, Xiao Yuan was standing at the door.She lowered her head and looked at her younger brother for a moment, then slowed down her heavy breathing and said, "Xiaoyuan, after sister leaves, you can go to Mrs. Hu's house and wait obediently for sister and brother-in-law to come back. Don't worry, brother-in-law will be fine. "

"I'll just stay at home."

"Listen to me, there is no kang at home, you will be cold at night. Doesn't Da Zhuang have his own room? It's just right, you go there, and you can sleep together. Be obedient." Said these words at this time, Shen Mumu I don't think it's superfluous at all.

In the past, it was performed on TV, but in ancient times, even sitting was practiced.If Xie Yuzhen did something that cannot be tolerated by the law, the yamen might come back to arrest him again, Xiao Yuan had better not stay at home.

"Okay." The young boy looked back at his sister and agreed.

Shen Mumu packed up his things, and seeing Mrs. Hu's family still said, "Brother Hu, Mrs. Hu, please take care of Xiaoyuan."

"Okay, sister-in-law Xiaoyuan will take care of you. Let the head of the house go with you, at least I can run errands for you or something." Sister-in-law Hu stood beside Shen Wenyuan and put her hand on his shoulder, reassuring Shen Mumu.

"I'll go with you, one more person will do more." Hu Tuhu also said beside him.

Shen Mumu knew that they really wanted to help, and if she continued to push back, it would appear that she was hypocritical, so she agreed to go with Brother Hu. "So, thank you, Brother Hu."

Shen Mumu is very worried, Xie Yu is in prison, and it is not easy.

Xie Yu knew why he was locked up.He had waited for this day for a long time, so when the yamen came, he showed an unprecedented cooperative attitude.This time he came in and went out again, and he felt very light.

The smell in the cell is not pleasant, the smell of urine and musty are intertwined, which irritates the nasal cavity.Xie Yu sat cross-legged, stayed for a while, and then began to miss home.

In the past, at this time, the soft and warm daughter-in-law was sleeping in her arms, feeling very comfortable physically and mentally.I don't know, how did the little daughter-in-law react when she knew she was taken away, should she cry?

He was thinking about his daughter-in-law crying with a red nose, when there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Looking along the black boots, the person standing in front of him was none other than the imperial envoy who brought him in - Lin Wenbo.

The two men sat and stood, looking at each other, not friendly.If the gaze could be turned into substance, at this time, the prison should be a scene of swords, lights and swords, and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Lin Wenbo stood for a while, then walked out, "Bring him out."

The voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.It was this person who married Mu Mu, and it was difficult for him to see Mu Mu.

"Do you want to explain yourself, or do you want to be sentenced?" Lin Wenbo looked at Xie Yu who was tied to the rack, and asked calmly.

"What does the imperial envoy want Xie to explain? Just say it."

"Play stupid with me, right?" Lin Wenbo took two steps back and forth.Ever since he knew that Mu Mu married the person in front of him, he has been jealous of this person every day.

But now, this person was right in front of him, without any resistance, which made him want to commit violence.He knew it was wrong, and tried to ease his emotions by walking around.

This is very useful, he quickly calmed down and said: "It doesn't matter if Manager Xie doesn't understand, I will tell you clearly, how long have you been selling salt, how many routes are there for selling salt, and who else is involved. Tell them one by one. , after my lord reports it, I can intercede for you and reduce your punishment."

"Xie is getting more and more unable to understand what the imperial envoy is saying." Xie Yu moved the iron chain on his hands uncomfortably, causing a clear and crisp collision sound, "Trafficking in private salt is a capital crime, and Xie has always been respectful and far away. , I dare not mention it easily, let alone sell it privately."

"It's okay for you to be stubborn now. We have witnesses in our hands. You will know when the court begins." Lin Wenbo didn't want to be tortured into a trick, and he himself couldn't understand why he tied people up.

He just wanted to have a simple conversation with Xie Yu, but the conversation just now didn't make him feel much better.The reason is that the scene of the conversation between the two is too different from what he imagined.

What scene did he expect to see?Is it Xie Yu crying for forgiveness, or is he groveling to please himself... He doesn't know, anyway, it shouldn't be like this.

Feeling that the conversation between the two was meaningless, Lin Wenbo turned to leave without saying a word.After taking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said, "You look like this, do you think you are worthy of Mu Mu?"
