Rebirth of marriage

Mr. Hu is here to tell the truth.

Yang Laoer planned to let Xie Jiu take Yang Xiner's place and send her to the old man's family.

After hearing this, Xie Jiu's eyes were calm without any disturbance. Hu couldn't say whether he was glad that he chose to join Xie Jiu, or whether he felt sad that he might not be able to take revenge on Xie Jiu in this life.

The Yang family's little moves were already within Xie Jiu's expectation, and they were no match for Xie Jiu.

Thinking of how he acted stupidly in front of Xie Jiu like a clown before and thought he was smart, only to be easily killed by Xie Jiu.

This time he came to her to do a good job, and he might have already thought of a countermeasure, so she said with a smile on her face, "I'm just showing off."

Xie Jiu smiled lightly, "How is Yang Qi? Did they find that his injuries were treated?"

"Doctor Lin's medical skills are good. He woke up without high fever last night." Hu's eyes dimmed as she thought of something, "No one knows that Dr. Lin treated him."

Except for her husband who came into the house for a quick look last night, no one looked at Yang Qi again. Even his eldest son never came into the house to care about his younger brother. He even showed disgust with her as a mother. Hu's heart Cool to the bottom.

Xie Jiu nodded. She had already heard from Lin Shu that Yang Qi's injury was not that serious, not as bad as what she had suffered at the Lu family. It just looked scary.

Those people in the Yang family used to be pampered and had never seen such a bloody thing, so they all believed that Yang Qi was seriously injured.

"You don't have to worry about Yang Laoer's thoughts. If they want to attack Lin Shu, I hope you will remember your previous promise and repay Lin Shu."

Xie Jiu threw her a tael of silver and said, "Watch Cai's side, don't let her die. This is your salary and her food expenses."

"She treats you badly, and you still care about her life and death." Mrs. Hu was stunned.

She squeezed the money in her hand, which was what she needed most at the moment. She promised Xie Jiu, "As long as I am in the Yang family, nothing will happen to her."

Seeing her misunderstanding, Xie Jiu pursed his lips slightly, pressed his eyelids slightly and looked at Hu coldly.

She was obviously petite, half a head shorter than Mrs. Hu, but Mrs. Hu felt a kind of majesty pressing against her face. She shrank for no reason, and understood the meaning of Xie Jiu like a sudden enlightenment, "I understand, let her live." Can’t die.”

Xie Jiu nodded slightly. He learned from Gu Xiao when he looked at people this way. If he loves someone to the core, he will subconsciously imitate him.

In order to avoid suspicion, the Yang family's contacts with Jiangnan's wealthy businessmen and nouveau riche were all handled by servants. The money from the Jiangnan rich businessman was in Lin Shu's hands, while the money from the nouveau riche was plundered by Xie Jiu in Qiu Wu's hands.

The Yang family was busy, hooking up with the Hu family, Yang Qi and all the servants even spent a lot of money to set up the game, but in the end they only got Yang Xiner's deposit.

Yang Xiner was sold to Jiangnan by them, but no one took her there. In the end, the Yang family had no choice but to return the deposit or even double the compensation. The Yang family would be in a desperate situation. In this case, no one would care about the Cai family.

Having Mrs. Hu watch over her can save her a lot of worry, lest she die early and mess up his plans.

As for Yang Laoer's plan, Xie Jiu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.

Now that things were over, it was time for her to take a trip to the mountains before the snowstorm came. This trip into the mountains would take several days to return, and she would not let Yang Laoer plan her own time.

As soon as Mrs. Hu left, Xie Jiu asked Feng Zhilan to go to the Lu family first, and told Lu Zhuo to meet up in the mountains in the morning, and then go to the old man's maternal home in the evening to let them know that Yang Xiner had run away.

After learning the news, Lao Yuanwai will definitely come to the Yang family tomorrow to ask for people or money. By then she has already entered the mountains.

It's just that Gu Xiao moves faster than Xie Jiu.

Not long after Feng Zhilan left, officials from the Prison Management Office arrived at the Yang family and brought the Yang brothers back from the quarry.

Each of the Yang brothers was punished with fifty canes in public.

The charge was private trafficking of prisoners.

And because of the private trafficking of prisoners, the prisoner Yang Xiner fled Yuyou Pass unwilling to become a concubine.

The founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty was born as a commoner. In order to win over people's hearts after the world was pacified, some laws were far less stringent than those of the previous dynasty, such as the issue of exile.

It is a capital offense for offenders to be exiled if they abscond, but there is no clear provision for the exile of implicated female family members.

First, the journey of exile was difficult, and many female relatives lost their lives because they could not bear to live on the road. After finally reaching the border, most of them were sent to work as military prostitutes, and they did not live long.

Second, the prisoners did not have customs clearance documents and household registration, and even if they escaped, they would not be able to live a normal life. Therefore, very few people escaped. This law has not been revised and improved to this day.

Gu Xiaolai then made adjustments so that women who had not committed crimes would not be used as military prostitutes.

The original intention was to pardon innocent women, but many prisoners sold their family members for money. It was difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs, not to mention that some women were sold voluntarily.

In addition to the prisoners, he also had the people of the two cities and the border checkpoints to take care of, so he didn't ask any more about the matter.

Private selling of women's wives often happened. The Yang brothers believed that they were following the trend and did not break the law, so they shouted that they were wronged.

The officer coldly handed out the latest regulations enacted by King Xiao. Anyone who secretly sells female prisoners will be punished with a fifty-fifty rod, and the purchaser will be guilty of the same crime.

This is the jurisdiction of King Xiao, and all the prisoners exiled here are under his jurisdiction. He has the right to manage the prisoners, so the Yang brothers had to accept this punishment.

And the official reminded them to continue working tomorrow. If they are unable to work due to poor health, their family members will take their place and they cannot miss a day.

As soon as the official left, a group of people came menacingly outside the old officer.

The buyer was guilty of the same crime, but because he was too old, he was only given ten strokes with the cane, and the other forty strokes were fined with a hundred taels of silver confiscated.

The old man didn't even see Yang Xiner's face. He was beaten even though he was so young. He was so angry that he ordered the Yang brothers who had just received the cane to be beaten again.

In addition to the deposit, the Yang family must also compensate the 100 taels confiscated by the officials, otherwise the Liu family will be used to pay off the debt.

When Xie Jiu heard the news, he burst into tears of laughter.

With this regulation, even if the Yang brothers dare to sell her, no one dares to buy her easily. Fifty sticks can be light or heavy, and even heavy ones can kill someone.

Xie Jiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. It felt good to have someone protecting him.

On the other side, Mo Qi reported to Gu Xiao about the officer sent to the Yang family.

He was a little puzzled, "Master, the Yang family is now exiled in Yuyouguan. You are treating them like ants to death by squeezing them to death. Why don't you kill them directly?"

Gu Xiao stared at the plate of red bean cake, and after a long while, he slowly said, "It is not difficult for her to kill them. She must have kept them for her purpose, why should I mess up her plan.

Besides, I have done my best to protect her, and it's not like her father has to do everything for her. She always has her own way to go. "

Mo Qi curled his lips, never knowing that the prince had such a duplicitous side.

He had just returned to the palace after dealing with those people, and before he could take a sip of water, the prince threw him a piece of paper with new regulations written on it and asked him to send it to the Criminal Management Office.

He was ordered to keep an eye on the matter in person, clearly wanting to vent Xie Jiu's anger, and now he looked unconcerned.

Mo Qi suddenly had a bad hope that Xie Jiu could one day cure his father's problem of being hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.

Gu Xiao's protection made Xie Jiu feel good, but she wanted to make love first, so she only allowed herself to think about him for a moment, and then started to prepare food and clothing for the mountain.

When it gets dark, Feng Zhilan brings back news about the Yang family.

The Yang family couldn't afford the compensation, so Lao Yuanwai insisted on using someone to pay off the debt. There were only two women in the Yang family. The news about Mrs. Hu spread, and Lao Yuanwai disliked her, so Liu was the only choice.

Ms. Liu used the new regulations issued by King Xiao to ask the official for help. Unexpectedly, the official said that Ms. Liu was paying off debts, not human trafficking, and was not within the scope of the new regulations.

Mrs. Liu was about to cry, but seeing that she was really going to be taken away, she reluctantly went back to the house and took out two gold leaves to compensate the old man.

Yang Lao's first reaction was to look at Yang Lao Er. He saw that his eyes were evasive, and he didn't understand anything. There were gold leaves on Mrs. Liu's body, and the second son also knew about it.

Thinking that in order to get money for his second son to do official duties, he had to pay off his wife and lose soldiers, and he was beaten to death.

But the second child hid so many private rooms and remained silent. Mr. Yang angrily picked up the rocks on the ground and threw them at Yang Lao Er.

Mrs. Hu was even more angry and stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Liu, causing the two families to fight.

When they were finally pulled away, the two women were already bruised and swollen, and the Yang brothers were even carried into the house.

The unity within the Yang family was completely broken.

Xie Jiu couldn't hide the smile on his lips, but he was also a little surprised that Mrs. Liu actually hid two gold leaves, and that Yang Laoer, who looked like nothing in the city, was actually able to hide things.

It seems that my plan for the Yang family is about to change.
