He took the basket and money and walked home, determined to live a good life in the future, but the distance between the two families was only a few hundred steps. As he walked, the man's hand feeling the money became more and more hot. He originally wanted to

The money given to my parents was subconsciously put into my arms.

He felt that today's luck was the best in recent years. After all, not only did he get a basket of ginger, but he also got an extra ten cents. Maybe he could really turn the tables and win?

The man hurried home, handed the basket in his hands to his parents, then went back to the house to touch the last handful of money, gathered his clothes and walked out.

When the mangy dad saw it, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

"Go out for a walk and won't be back at night."

The mangy man's father looked a little ugly when he heard this. He usually went to gamble when he said this. He hurriedly chased him out, but he could only see the mangyo's back. He stamped his feet in anger, and he couldn't sleep for another night.

.

As soon as the man left, the Zhou family gathered together to continue the meeting. They didn't know that the man left their place and turned around to gamble.

Old Zhoutou carefully recalled the scene when his younger brother came back, and said with a frown: "He was in high spirits when he came back. It's possible to meet acquaintances and say hello on the road."

Qian said: "After he left for six or seven years, his appearance changed. Even if you saw him, you wouldn't recognize him. When our family held a funeral for him, almost all the relatives and friends he knew came to the door.

I've never heard anyone mention that anyone saw him that year."

"Besides, it happened more than ten years ago. Even if I encountered it, I would have forgotten it. Why would I mention it now?" Qian said, "I'm afraid Magistrate Yang is trying to bluff the man by saying that."

Zhou Lang looked around and asked: "Then where did County Magistrate Yang know about my uncle?"

Mr. Qian sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's because of the funeral papers."

She doubted: "Do you think the family member named Zhou Yin who died in Shangzhou has been found, so..."

Lao Zhoutou pressed his head in annoyance and said: "At that time, I only thought about giving him a proper burial."

"What are you afraid of?" Ms. Qian glanced at him and said, "It's really because of this that we are not afraid anymore. The government office came to our door, and we didn't know what to say. The government office said it was our Zhou Yin, so we naturally recognized it.

Already."

Zhou Dalang said: "The maniac is too panicked. Mr. Yang is so smart, will he notice anything?"

Qian gritted his teeth and said, "As long as no one confesses, they have no evidence, it's just speculation, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Wu Wulang asked: "Mom, you believe in the maniac so much, what if he said it?"

"If he had said it, could we still be sitting at home now?" Zhou Lang glanced at him and said: "The man must not have said it. Since he didn't confess even after being beaten, he probably won't do it in the future, and now

Magistrate Yang is not in the county either."

Old Zhou asked: "Where has he gone?"

"Man Bao said that Magistrate Yang is getting married and has to go back to the capital. He is probably on the way now."

Lao Zhou's family all breathed a sigh of relief. They were not in the county, so there was no need to worry for the time being. They could also take a moment and think about how they would respond if Magistrate Yang came to ask them.

When the old Zhou family relaxed, Qian said to Zhou Lang: "You should go to Yizhou City to accompany Man Bao tomorrow. You must keep an eye on her and don't let her be deceived by Magistrate Yang."

Zhou Lang: "Mom, Man Bao doesn't know anything, what can Master Yang lie to her?"

Qian thought the same, but still said: "You should keep an eye on Man Bao and keep her away from Mr. Yang and Mr. Tang."

Zhou Lang agreed with a grimace, feeling that this task was very difficult.

After a good discussion, everyone went back to their respective houses to appease their wives. Zhou Lang dealt with Fang with ease, but Wu Lang was a little confused.

He was still very young when his brother-in-law left and didn't remember him very much at all. The reason why he knew he had a brother-in-law was because his parents and brothers often talked about it in his and Lao Liu's ears.

They said that the reason they survived when they were young was because their uncle brought back a bag of wheat from outside.

So he always knew that he had a brother-in-law. Twelve years ago, his brother-in-law returned home with his wife and children in fine clothes. He brought them a lot of delicious food, fun things, and beautiful fabrics to make clothes, so he liked his brother-in-law very much.

, only then can I really remember him.

From that time on, his brother-in-law was no longer mentioned in the family. The things about his uncle that he remembered were all told by family members when he was younger. When his wife asked him, he couldn’t talk about his brother-in-law, and he couldn’t find out anything else.

When excuses came, he could only remain silent.

Lu Zhi was so angry that he scratched him a few times before venting his anger.

Mrs. Qian didn't care about what happened in her sons' house, she said confidently in front of them, but she was also a little uneasy in her heart.

As soon as she returned to the house, Mrs. Qian twisted three sticks of incense, lit it, and knelt respectfully in front of Tianzun's portrait to kowtow to the incense. She only hoped that Tianzun would bless him and ensure that he would be safe this time.

Lao Zhoutou sat aside and sighed, "This has been the past twelve years. Man Bao is about to grow up and get married. How come this matter can still be found out?"

Qian raised his head and looked at the portrait of Tianzun, and then asked after a while: "Do you believe what the Yamen said?"

"What?" Lao Zhou didn't turn around for a moment.

"Do you believe what those officials said twelve years ago? The second brother is a bandit."

"I don't believe it," Old Zhoutou said, "How can a mountain bandit marry a daughter of a scholar's family?"

"..." Qian said: "I believe in Lao Er's character. He is not that kind of person."

"That's it, can I still not know about my brother? He can only help others, but he will not harm them like this."

"So you said, if you tell the truth, can the government give justice to the second brother?" Qian said: "And the people who killed the second brother and the second brother and sister back then, we have to let them close their eyes, right?"

Old Zhou was startled and couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "You're crazy. It's been so many years. How can we investigate this? And the officials who thought Zhou Yin was a thief had their paperwork stamped on them. They were officials.

I definitely trust those who are officials more."

"But Magistrate Yang seems to be fine, and he is still friends with our Man Bao."

Lao Zhoutou remained silent and did not speak.

He didn't speak, but Qian herself sighed, shook her head and said: "Forget it, I'm dragging my family with me, and we have the entire Qili Village behind us. If County Magistrate Yang can really help the second brother clear his grievances, forget it.

, if not..."

Then the entire Qili Village will be dragged into the water by her. Even if Qian is unwilling to do so, she cannot be so confident.

The whole village has kept secrets for their family for so many years, so there is no reason why they should be implicated by her in the end.
