Chapter 7

Wang Liang's mind was still replaying the scene when he was just pairing with Li Jing. Li Jing's deep gaze was like two deep wells that could not be seen, making him understand in his heart that Li Jing must have guessed the trick he used behind him. In any case, Li Jing had been sentenced to the Marquis of the Hang and was also imprisoned in the dungeon of the military town. At most, there would be only one year left to live, and he would be hanged next autumn.

But he couldn't be happy at all, and he didn't even feel the pleasure of revenge. Instead, he was a little uneasy by Li Jing's last gaze.

Wang Liang stood alone in front of the warehouse, looking at the soldiers and civilians who were carrying things in the warehouse and pondering. At this time, the fat Zhang Kuguan walked over with his horoscope.

"Wang Er, what are you thinking? You said, can the Li family really pay to protect that boy?" Zhang Ku's name was Zhang Hong. It is said that he was the brother of a concubine Cui Zhen, so he got such a fat man in the warehouse.

"Oh, it's a high-ranking official." Seeing that it was his master, Wang Liang bent down and bowed. He bent down and took two steps back and followed Zhang Hong.

Today, Wang Liang followed Fatty Zhang to buy, and happened to see Li Jing who was carrying grain to leave the city. He hated Li Jing to the core. As soon as he saw Li Jing, he had the idea of ​​humiliating him and told Fatty Zhang. He originally planned to disgust Li Jing with forced purchase, but unexpectedly, he saw Li Jing not eating it. It was okay to forget about this, but unexpectedly, he saw a carp in the fish. A trick that harmed people came to his heart and quietly told Fatty Zhang that he would take Li Jing and extort money. Fatty Zhang is the best person to be greedy for money. When he heard that he had the opportunity to make money, he would not let it go.

"A great official, the Li family has died in succession over the years. Now Li Jing is the only man in the Li family. Although the Li family has fallen, there are still 50 acres of good land and ten acres of mulberry fields in the family. In order to get Li Jing out, the women of the Li family are definitely willing to lose their fortunes. Although the dozens of acres of land are not large, it is considered a small fortune."

"No, not bad. Accumulate more than a little, and accumulate more than a little. Sixty acres of land is worth taking one move. I will give you this matter. If the matter is done well, I will reward you with two acres of mulberry fields at that time." Fatty Zhang was in a good mood and said happily. Nowadays, it is okay to keep a warehouse and get some oil and water, but in the end it is better to buy land and land.

It was almost dusk, and several women from the Li family did not wait to return to Li Jing, but waited for Wang Blacksmith and Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou and his son brought back a shocking news, which shocked the Li family and the girls looked like paper and cried. The Li family has lost three men in charge over the years. If even Li Jing has had another accident, then this widow will really not live.

Wang Blacksmith, with wrinkles on the ground, squatting on the ground, constantly sighing. Last time, his eldest son was planning to build a house next year, but he took the Li brothers to go to Jianhaicao together. Not only did his son die, but there were also three other young men in the same village, leaving only the three Li family boys escaped. Two months have passed, and today the youngest son asked Li Jing to take two fish, but he was implicated in prison and sentenced to the marquis of jail. The Wang family owed a lot to the Li family. In front of the women of the Li family, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

At this moment, Wang Liang took his mother and sister into the Li family yard.

"Auntie, we have also heard about Sanlang's affairs. Don't be anxious, there will always be solutions to things." Wang Liang's mother advised.

Han was completely lost his mind at this time. No matter how strong the woman was, she seemed to have her muscles and bones removed, with her eyes blank and a look of death. Hearing Wang Liang's mother's persuasion, she turned around and cried to Liu family: "You are here to come to our jokes, right? Look, see, you are satisfied now. My Li family man is dead, you are happy."

Wang Xiaomei said anxiously: "Aunt, when my brother heard about this in the town, he ran home immediately. My mother was also very anxious when she heard about this. How could she come to see a joke?"

Wang Xiaoshitou suddenly rushed up, grabbed Wang Liang's collar and shouted: "I heard from the people in the town that today was the last thing that happened when you stopped Xiucai and wanted to buy fish. Do you think you did it badly?"

"Aren't you just running errands under the officer Zhang Ku who was hurt by Sanlang? Do you think this is a bad idea?" Wang Blacksmith also hurriedly said. Although Li Jing is not his son, if something happened to Li Jing, he felt more anxious than anyone else and felt more guilty than anyone else.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she turned around and slapped Wang Liang in the face. The Wang family and the Li family did have a holiday, but that was just a holiday in private. If she used a secret trick to plot against the third boy of the Li family and let someone die, she would never forgive such a thing. If this is the case, the Wang family would not want to gain a foothold here in the future.

"My grandma, others don't believe me, don't you even believe in your son? Today I pulled my third brother to buy fish first, but I bought fish for money. I originally agreed to buy a bunch of fish with Sanlang. Later, Zhang Kuguan suddenly asked for two bunches and only gave one money. It was the third brother who refused, so Zhang Kuguan turned his face and took advantage of the carp to pull the third brother to the yamen. I had been begging Zhang Kuguan for a long time before, and finally told Zhang Kuguan to let the third brother go. I didn't even have time to drink saliva, so I ran back to report the news."

When Han heard that he was willing to let Li Jing go, he suddenly became excited. He grabbed Wang Liang's hand and asked hurriedly: "Is Sanlang back from the town willing to let Sanlang go? Then why haven't the person seen him yet?"

"Aunt, although Zhang Kuguan agreed to let his third brother go, he had a request." Wang Liang looked serious, but he was walking step by step according to the plan he had already thought of.

"If you have any requirements, just say that we will find a way no matter what."

Wang Liang deliberately wanted to speak for a while, and then said: "Everyone knows that the town's prosecutor has sentenced the third brother to the marquis of the marquis. After the town's official documents were sent to the court's office for review, it was decided that the sentence would be executed as soon as the autumn came. The official documents were still not submitted in the town, but there was not much time. Zhang Ku's brother-in-law was Cui Zhenjiang, and he had the final say in everything in the town. As long as the official documents were taken out and sold before the court submitted, he could release them directly at that time."

Speaking of this, Wang Liang stopped talking.

Although he stopped talking, everyone understood the meaning behind it. Zhang Kuguan first sent the person to the prison, and now he wanted to let him go, so he would definitely not be allowed to do so.

Han bit his lip and said, "How much does Zhang Ku need to release him?"

"One hundred acres of fertile land."

Everyone exclaimed that the Li family had only 50 acres of land in total, and even if the ten acres of mulberry fields were counted, it would be still 140 acres. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the land was expensive, and a mu of fertile land could be sold for hundreds of guan. However, tonight, the more land taxes the more heavy the land, the land price had declined. However, a good land acre would cost at least ten guan. Forty acres of land was 400,000 yuan. If it was exchanged for rice, it would be 2,000 guan. Not to mention that in such a famine, even in the prosperous times of the Li family, it would have to destroy the family.

The Li family is selling their houses in a mess, and they can't make up so much money even if they sell their houses.

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, this is all the old man. If the old man hadn't asked him to take this fish, it would be fine. My family still has twenty acres of land, so my sister-in-law would take it." Wang Blacksmith spent many years outside and bought twenty acres of land at home.

"No, you all depend on these twenty acres of land for food and use. Without land, how can your family survive?" Han shook his head and refused.

Wang Liang's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, my family still has twenty acres of land. You can take it to rescue Sanlang first."

"Add these lands just over 100 acres." Wang Liang said on the side.

Han gritted his teeth: "Uncle Wang, you know many acquaintances in the town. Can you help me ask if anyone is willing to buy my yard. As long as you are willing to make money, you will sell it."

The seaweed yard of the Li family has only been built for fifty years, and the seaweed house is not as good as ordinary thatched or brick houses. As long as a house like the Li family is well-received, it is no problem to live in the family for two hundred years. This nine-bedroom yard has only been fifty years, and it was originally a lot of money. When the Li family built this house, it took about 200,000 yuan to add land. 200,000 yuan is 200,000 yuan, worth 20 acres of land. But now it is urgent to sell it, and it is the best to sell it for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

"Aunt, this house is the ancestral property of the Li family. After the ancestral land is sold, we can buy it back in the future, but where do you live if the ancestral house is sold? Aunt, let's get together, there are 100 acres of land. Let's protect our third brother first to avoid the long night dreams and more troubles. Let's talk about other things later." Wang Liang said anxiously.

Han did not want to accept the land of Wang Blacksmith and Wang Liang's family, but at this time he was worried about his son, but the family could not afford more money. He had to nod helplessly, but she didn't know that the Li family fell into Wang Liang's trap step by step.
