However, there were times when Jiang Jiuniang misjudged the wrong person. When the prefect Qian Xiao came out, he was listless and looked weak. When he saw Master Lin standing in the hall, his eyes instantly brightened up.

"What is this, Mr. Lin?"

He straightened his body and looked a little more energetic, but he was still weak when he spoke, and his health was really not good.

Mr. Lin touched his beard, said hello to the prefect, and asked the boy next to him to tell the story again.

Then he handed over the contract signed by both parties and Miao Lanlan's body deed to the prefect for inspection, and then looked at Jiang Jiuniang with a proud look on her face.

Jiang Jiuniang was speechless. She had long thought that if the Lin family dared to be so rampant in Qianzhou, they must have helpers, but she did not expect that they could behave so blatantly and have no intention of avoiding suspicion.

The relationship between these two people should be as dark as possible. We must find an opportunity to find evidence of their collusion and see how rampant they can be.

Sure enough, after Qian Xiao read the contract and the personal contract, he said: "This is written clearly in black and white. If you are breaking the contract, you must do what is written in the contract... ”

Halfway through her words, Jiang Jiuniang asked Lu Baichuan to whisper a few words to the prefect. The prefect’s expression stiffened for a moment, and then his words suddenly took a sharp turn.

"However, these rules are dead and people are alive. Mrs. Liu sold her sister-in-law without telling the elders in the family. This is Mrs. Liu's fault and not Miao Lanlan herself. Therefore, for the sake of fairness and justice for both parties , Mrs. Liu will return the money given by the Lin family for selling herself, and give the Lin family another fifty taels as compensation, and the matter will be settled."

He spoke very fast, and could not hear clearly even if he was distracted. kind of.

And people with sharp eyes can still see the beads of sweat falling down from him, whether caused by a weak heart or a weak body.

Mr. Lin's expression changed when he said the second half of the sentence, but it wasn't very obvious. He just closed his lips that were cracked to his temples and had a dead face.

When the Miao family heard this result, they were so surprised that they didn’t know what to do, especially Miao’s mother and Miao Lanlan, who hugged each other and burst into tears.

Ms. Liu was dissatisfied with the result. Her brother had taken all the money away and would never get it back. There was also an additional fifty taels of compensation. Wouldn't this cost her her life?

"Why? She is lucky to be able to marry into the Lin family. She can just marry her. Why should I spend money? Her reputation has been ruined. She will be stuck at home if she can't get married in the future. Do you still expect me to support you? Sir, please be merciful and marry her! I beg you!"

Mrs. Liu just followed JingQian Xiao started to kowtow to Qian Xiao as if he was not normal. Qian Xiao's mind was now filled with what Lu Bochuan had said to him, and he had no patience to listen to her mischief. Even Mr. Lin didn't say a word about such a method of handling. How dare she, a person who had done something wrong, dare to Stirring your nose and face.

"Blatantly contradicted my officer, dragged him out and beat me twenty times!"

Qian Xiao was also angry and took the opportunity to get angry, but soon realized that Lu Baichuan was still Standing next to him, he quietly glanced at Lu Baichuan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Baichuan had no reaction.

Mrs. Liu was frightened. When she saw someone coming to drag her, she hurriedly begged for mercy, but it was too late. She was dragged out, pinned to the ground and beaten.

Miao Shan closed his eyes and did not say a word for her throughout the whole process.

He gave her a chance, but she never realized her mistake.

Until now, she still thinks that it is okay for her brother to use the money for gambling, after all, he is her biological brother.

But she forgot that Miao Lanlan was also his biological sister, the same blood relative, how could she treat her differently?

When Ms. Liu was dragged in after being beaten, she was already dying and could not speak.

But Miao's mother still refused to do anything and said directly: "Please make the decision, sir, to divorce this snake-hearted woman for our Miao family!"

Miao When Shan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything to stop him.

Mr. Liu dared to sell his sister today, his parents tomorrow, and his two sons the day after tomorrow.

Such a person cannot be persuaded or enlightened. Over the years they have been married, he knows her temperament very well.

"I don't agree! Why did you divorce me? I gave birth to two sons for your Miao family! Two!"

Mrs. Liu used all her strength The ground roared, and the canthus of the eyes was about to burst.

Her mother said that she gave birth to two sons and was a great contributor to the Miao family. The entire Miao family, young and old, had to obey her orders.

Didn’t she just find a good marriage for her sister-in-law who has been unable to marry, so why is she about to be divorced?

Her mother came up with this idea. How could her mother harm her?

Miao’s mother sneered and said: "It’s nothing special to have a son. Sons and daughters are the same. Why do you want to ruin my daughter’s life by giving birth to a son? You are such a snake-hearted woman, Our Miao family can't afford it, so I will divorce you today, and you will have nothing to do with our Miao family from now on!"

Qian Xiao didn't know what to do, so he glanced at Lu Baichuan, saw him nodding slightly, and decided to make the decision Help the Miao family divorce Mr. Liu.

Not only that, because he was worried that the Liu family would cheat and not get the money, so Qian Xiao asked people to take the Liu family back to the Liu family to ask for money.

When the Liu family knew that Mrs. Liu was divorced, they went crazy instantly. The Miao family was a cash cow, how would they live in the future?

But these are digressions. Several people sent by Qian Xiao threatened the Liu family and quickly collected enough money, then left the Liu family.

In the end, Mr. Lin took the money found in Liu's house and left, while the Miao family got back the contract and Miao Lanlan's identity deed. Everyone was happy.

Mr. Lin was the first to leave. Although he was older, his speed was no slower than that of young people, and there was wind under his feet.

The boy next to him trotted to catch up and asked: "Master, are we leaving like this? Aren't we going to attack that woman?"

They called so many people Come, don’t you want to take Jiang Jiuniang back?

Mr. Lin glanced at him and asked: "Do you have what it takes? You were not the one who was trampled on the ground with your face closed!"

Mr. Lin said as he spoke He gave the boy a big slap and walked faster angrily.

He is the most observant. Just now, the prefect obviously wanted to help him, but the man said a few words in his ear and changed his attitude instantly. This shows that the man is not simple. .

Either he has a noble status, or he has some leverage.

Even if he suffered a loss today, he could only swallow his bad breath. After all, he was just a businessman. As the saying goes, if the people do not fight with the officials, they can just find opportunities to let the prefect compensate themselves in the future.

At this time, the prefect Qian Xiao specially left Lu Baichuan behind.

"You said, you have news about the imperial envoy?"

Qian Xiao was very anxious. Just now Lu Baichuan told him that they knew the news about the imperial envoy. If he dared to bend the law for personal gain, he would be punished. Go complain.

He was worried that the imperial envoy would come here, so he still helped the Miao family deal with it.

The so-called imperial envoys were actually those who went to Liangzhou to support them. The government in Liangzhou fell and was greatly purged. The surrounding officials were all on tenterhooks, fearing that they would come to their side.
