Delicate Flower Chapter 55: Grassing

As Yu Tang listened, his heart beat 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 harm others just for food and clothing. Usually when encountering such a situation, the government would either repatriate them to their place of origin, or attach local registration to reward them for opening up wasteland and settling down.

If what Wei Xiaochuan said is true, there is something wrong with taking in refugees like the Li family.

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 later the Li family felt that the refugees were difficult to control and they wanted to drive them out of the farm. Some people were unwilling to leave. There had been troubles and people died. The Li family reported After being dismissed from the official position, the government came forward to calm the matter down.

Mr. Lin was in a bad mood for several days because of this. She even lost her temper at home, saying that people should not be too kind. The Li family's good deeds turned into bad deeds, and they would never take in these refugees again.

At that time, she also felt that the refugees were ungrateful... But now it seems that the situation is not what she knew in her previous life.

Maybe Wei Xiaochuan got it right and accidentally discovered an important clue.

Yu Tang said: "After I came back from your home, I thought about it for a long time and thought that if the Li family did something bad, where did they find the person? After all, it is a human life. Get the evidence and report it to the government. Their family will also face lawsuits. If they want to avoid any trouble, it may be the hands of their own trusted stewards, or people hired from outside. I have already checked on the stewards of the Li family, and they are all alive and well in the city. , no one was absent that night. Anyone hired from outside who dares to do this must be a helper. I also asked, the famous helpers in Lin'an City have been in Lin'an City these days, and no one has escaped..."

Wei Xiaochuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "So, is it possible that the murderer who killed my second brother was a refugee from that farm?"

Yu Tang said softly "Hmm".

Wei Xiaochuan said hurriedly: "Then I'll take a leave and go to the farm to see it tomorrow."

"No!" Yu Tang said, "If you are suspected, you won't be able to run away with your small body. We can't act on impulse now."

"Okay!" Wei Xiaochuan said dejectedly, "I heard from my cousin that the people in the village are well dressed and eat well, but they don't do much work in the fields. There must be something fishy here. You should also be careful. , don’t be discovered and killed. Didn’t you say that we can’t act on impulse?”

The Li family hired gangsters to kidnap her and ruin her reputation. What is the difference between killing someone and silencing her?

Yu Tang said: "Don't worry, I won't go by myself, I'll ask someone for help."

Wei Xiaochuan thought about it and thought it was okay. He said, "Then I'll leave first. On the first day at the county school, the teachers will ask for names. I can't be late. If you have any news, remember to have someone send me a letter. ."

Yu Tang couldn't keep him here, so he hurriedly said: "You can go there in my sedan! I'll pay the bill."

Wei Xiaochuan refused and said: "I'll go by the path very quickly. Don't worry about me. It's a pity that the people in our farm didn't see the faces of the two strangers clearly, otherwise I could take them with me Go recognize someone."

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, the people in your farm didn't see clearly what those two people looked like. If you take people there directly, even if they recognize them, they can still shirk the blame. This Things can't be so simple and direct, you have to be smart. Go to school quickly, I will take care of this matter."

Wei Xiaochuan just wanted to complain, and after hearing this he left with his head down.

Yu Tang was thinking about this all night after returning home. When it was almost dawn, she finally made up her mind and went to find Yu Wen.

Yu Wen was sorting out all the things that Mrs. Chen had sorted out at home and preparing to send them to Yu Bo's house. First, they arranged Yu Yuan's wedding beautifully.

Yu Tang chatted with his parents for a while and winked at his father.

Yu Wen understood and said to Chen: "I remember that a friend came from Meizhou the year before last and brought us a piece of Shu Brocade. You can also find that and send it to my elder brother!"

The cloth was too hard and uncomfortable to make clothes, but the trim was very beautiful. Chen originally planned to leave it to Yu Tang. When Yu Wen said this, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, thinking that although the Shu brocade It's rare, but it's not impossible to buy, but it's more expensive. Fortunately, it doesn't require so much edging. If it's given to Yu Yuan, it's given to Yu Yuan. She agreed and went to the warehouse.

Yu Wen found something for Chen to do, so he felt relieved and went to the study with Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn’t know that the Shu brocade that originally belonged to him was gone.

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 a boxing gift to his grandfather during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he found a place not far from his grandfather's farm. The farm belongs to the Li family and has taken in many refugees..."

"Such a thing actually happened!" Yu Wen was horrified and said angrily, "If those refugees riot, people will die in Lin'an City. Don't the Li family know about it? No, I have to talk to Magistrate Tang about this."

Yu Tang grabbed his father and said, "Dad, you can't just go to see Magistrate Tang."

Yu Wen was puzzled.

Yu Tang said: "Think about it, the Li family is also a family of officials. Other families don't know the dangers of refugees. How could their family not know? If they can hire gangsters to kidnap me, they can send those refugees to their home. Making trouble. What I mean is that you might as well discuss with Magistrate Tang first and ask him to investigate in the name of the government office. Just say that someone reported that the farm housed Japanese people. If the Li family just did good deeds and took in those people. That's it. If something goes wrong, Magistrate Tang will naturally know how to deal with it."

Yu Wen thought about it and felt that this was a better idea than going directly to Magistrate Tang himself.

You must know that there are people under his rule who are taking in refugees but he doesn't know about it. If nothing happens, his achievements in the past three years will be over. If he is not dismissed from office, his promotion will be affected. What's more, the Yu family and the Li family are already on the same level, so what if the Li family knows that he was the one who reported it? Could it be that if he didn’t report the Li family, the Li family would let the Yu family go?

Yu Wen said: "I know what to say. You go and accompany your mother! The weather is getting colder and colder now. I heard that Doctor Yang will come to check Ping'an's pulse on the eldest wife of the Pei family in a few days. I want to ask him to come over and show your mother. You keep an eye on your mother and don’t let your mother catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you have to wait for the illness to heal before prescribing tonics. Doctor Yang may not be able to wait until that time. ."

Since taking Yang Dou Something wrong.

Yu Tang responded repeatedly.

Yu Wen went to the Yamen.

Yu Tang accompanied Mr. Chen to sort out all the things that were to be sent to his uncle's house. When Yu Wen came back, they went to his uncle's house together.

On the way, Yu Tang asked his father: "What did Magistrate Tang say?"

Yu Wen said: "Prefect Tang thought that our family wanted 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 that time, and when I left, I said I was going to the Pei family to ask Dr. Yang to help with the treatment. , he was different immediately." At this point, he sighed and said, "I owe the Pei family again, and I don't know when I can pay it back."

The main thing is that there is still no way to pay it back.

Yu Tang can't think of anything else Pei Yan lacks.

Especially Pei Yan always felt that she had evil intentions and had ulterior motives in everything she did, and he looked down upon her very much.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang sighed dejectedly.

Forget it, she can only repay the Pei family's great kindness in the next life.

What if she can still have an afterlife?

In just a few words, they had arrived at Yu Bo's house, and the matter was over.

Yu Tang asked A Tiao to give some scraps of silver to Ah Liu, a pear seller in Xiaomeixi, and asked him to keep an eye on the Li family.

In a few days, there were rumors in Lin'an City that the Li family had taken in many refugees out of kindness, but Magistrate Tang found out about it and sent people to check whether any of the refugees had committed crimes. Knowing that the refugees were guilty, the people from the yamen went in to investigate and had a conflict with the refugees, and two yamen officials died.

The Li family was shocked and regretted taking in these people for a moment. The eldest son of the Li family personally came forward to deal with the matter. Not only did he appease the farmers in the surrounding farms, he also took money to bury the two government officials and gave them a large pension.

Yu Tang sneered.

She didn't believe that her attempt to lure the snake out of the hole would fail.

But if those two people show up, how can she get them.

Yu Tang was wondering who to ask for help.

It would be great if she could have more brothers!

She lamented there that Magistrate Tang suddenly came to visit Yu Wen.

Yu Tang asked Shuang Tao to eavesdrop on a few words while serving tea to Magistrate Tang.

Shuangtao came and told her: "Prefect Tang came to apologize to our master. When he talked about what happened last time, the eldest son of the Li family came to ask him personally. He couldn't hide it and told the Li family what happened. Eldest Young Master. Fortunately, the Eldest Young Master of the Li family is a sensible person and said he was sorry for our master. He also said that when the matter calms down, he will personally come to apologize and ask the master not to mention this matter when he goes to the Pei family. Something happened." After saying that, she asked Yu Tang curiously with her eyes wide open, "Miss, what happened? Why did Magistrate Tang come to apologize to our master in person?"

"Don't mind my business. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Tang beat Shuang Tao perfunctorily, but in his heart he despised Magistrate Tang.

He was not here to apologize to her father. He was clearly here to tell her father that the Li family knew that the person who made the report was her father. He came to inform her father for the sake of the Pei family. She also told her father that Li Duan had already intervened in this matter, and if there was any rift between the Yu and Li families, it was none of his business.

No wonder Magistrate Tang worked as a parent official in Lin'an for nine years before he was transferred. He was so cowardly that he just settled things down, tried to please both sides, and didn't dare to take on the responsibilities. Only a high-ranking official would be a fool!

Yu Wen was already ready to break up with the Li family, so naturally he didn’t care about what Magistrate Tang said. He warmly entertained Magistrate Tang, talked about poems and songs with Magistrate Tang, and made an appointment to climb a mountain to admire the chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival. , said nothing about the conflict with the Li family.

Prefect Tang originally made this trip for the sake of the Pei family. If the Pei family continued to protect the Yu family, the Li family would not be able to do anything even if they knew about it. If the Pei family doesn't care and the Yu family throws an egg against a stone, the most he can do is sigh.

All he needs to do is take it out. As for the rest, he doesn't want to offend anyone and has no ability to care.
