Chapter 369 Release from Prison
Chapter 369 Release from Prison
Ye Chenyi stretched his head to take a look, "Wenxuan gave it to you, saying that he wanted to thank you for lending the book to them."
Ye Chenyi was curious about what was inside and urged Ye Qing to open it and take a look.
The other people in the family also became interested and waited to see the gifts inside.
Ye Qing carefully opened the outer packaging, revealing a box of beautifully packaged tea.
Zheng Qin laughed out loud first, it was so interesting, giving a little girl a gift, a box of tea.
The others also laughed. Ye Qing opened the lid of the box, put it close to his nose and sniffed. The tea leaves smelled very fragrant.
Ye Qing picked up a bit and took a look. It was old white tea. She had mentioned it to Lin Wenxuan last time. She liked this tea very much, but it was hard to buy.
Unexpectedly, he remembered what he heard and brought back a can.
Ye Qing put the tea leaves in the room. No one in her family liked the taste of old white tea, so she kept it for herself to drink slowly.
Ye Qing continued to rest at home. There was no news about the girl studying outside. She didn't care too much. She did her best and left the rest to fate. She had done what she should do.
However, news about the Su family continued to come in. During this period, the scholar in the Su family forcibly abducted a girl, and the girl's family led the entire village to smash the door of the Su family.
The incident caused such a big stir that Su Xiucai was arrested by the government officials.
The girl was very stubborn and would never forgive Su Xiucai.
After hearing about this, Ye Laosan found a few reliable younger generations in the village and asked them to go to the girl's home to inquire about the situation.
It turned out that the girl was a hunter from the mountain. This time she came down the mountain to sell her prey. She was seen by Su Xiucai, who held her back and wouldn't let her leave.
The girl's family has many sons and she is the most favored one in the family. They live in the mountains and are not afraid of revenge from the Su family at all.
Since the family had no land, they just packed up their things and left, hiding in the mountains where no one could find them.
This matter was widely spread in Wu'an City. The Su family sent many gifts to the government office, but they were never released.
It’s obvious that the girl’s brothers are not easy to deal with. They hang around Wu’an City all day long.
Whenever the masters of the Su family went out, they would occasionally find a man looking at them grimly from a distance.
Among the people who came from Yejia Village were members of the Zhou family. The Zhou family used to make a living by hunting, and they looked different from the people living in the village.
Zhou Laosan easily struck up a conversation with those people. It turned out that the girl's surname was Zhao, and that the girl refused to eat or drink when she returned home. These brothers couldn't stand it and wanted to kill Su Xiucai.
The Su family also knew that this matter was not easy to negotiate. They were willing to give money, but the Zhao family refused and only focused on Su Xiucai.
He is the only promising person in the Su family's generation, so they must protect him no matter what.
The Zhao family only targeted the Su family's master, and the Su family sent servants to chase him, but they couldn't catch up at all.
The Su family reported the matter to the police, but the Zhao family did nothing, so the county magistrate could not arrest them.
Zhou Laosan went to meet the Zhao family. The head of the Zhao family was the girl's eldest brother. Seeing the familiar aura on Zhou Laosan, he was not on guard.
"Brother, we used to be hunters, but now we have moved down the mountain to farm. I feel bad when I heard about your situation."
Boss Zhao was a little puzzled and looked at Boss Zhou warily.
This was the first time they met, so it couldn’t be that the person was sent by the Su family.
Zhou Laosan looked at Boss Zhao's suspicious gaze and didn't know what to say.
"Tell the Su family a message. This matter is not over yet." Boss Zhao's eyes became fierce.
Boss Zhou sat in the chair in front of Boss Zhao with a calm look on his face.
"Brother, I'm really not a member of the Su family. I have a grudge against the Su family. They just cheated us last time and our whole family is doomed."
Boss Zhao was somewhat skeptical. He decided to be more cautious at this point in time.
"What is your purpose in looking for me?" Boss Zhao said in a somewhat cold tone.
Zhou Laosan stood up formally, "Let's join forces to help you achieve your goal."
"I just want to scare him." Boss Zhao did not reveal his true thoughts.
Zhou Laosan chuckled and didn't say whether he believed it or not.
"I don't care what your purpose is. I just want the Su family to have a hard time." Zhou Laosan stated his purpose.
Boss Zhao didn't say anything and watched what Boss Zhou would do next.
Boss Zhou put the ten taels of silver in his arms on the table and said, "Brother, you need money wherever you go when you go out. This is my token of my appreciation."
Zhou Laosan didn't say much and walked out.
Boss Zhao watched through the window as Zhou Laosan walked out of the inn and walked away, then he came back and picked up the silver on the table and weighed it.
Boss Zhao didn't believe that there really was such a good person. He called out to a few brothers who were strolling outside and quickly changed inns.
He took the money. After all, everyone had the same goal, so he would definitely help him fulfill his wish.
After Zhou Laosan left, Wang Dayan was still staring at the door. He watched them change inns with his own eyes before he went to find Zhou Laosan.
Zhou Laosan was very satisfied with their caution. It was because they came too suddenly that he was able to see them.
Ye Dalang has been paying attention to this matter. They are in the yamen and are very clear about Su Xiucai's situation.
The Su family arranged for the bailiffs in the prison, so Su Xiucai ate well and slept well in the prison.
With the Zhao family watching outside, it would be better for him to stay in jail and wait until this storm is over before taking him back.
The Su family's strategy was correct. The Zhao family was poor and would not be able to hold out for ten days without help.
Now that there is Kaoshan Village watching over us, and since the money is almost gone, we might as well send some money to them.
These people in the Zhao family used to rely on their anger to survive, but later their mentality changed. They were supported by money and could take revenge. They thought it would be better if the people in the Su family came out later so that they could earn more.
Su Xiucai had been living a life of luxury for a long time. At first he could still stay there, but later he shouted for his father to rescue him.
As soon as Mr. Su had the idea of paying the money, Ye Dalang would pass the news back, and the Zhao family would frequently appear near the Su family.
After more than a month, Su Xiucai could no longer hold on and passed on information to others every day from prison.
Mr. Su felt sorry for his son, so he contacted his brother-in-law in the capital city and wanted to send his son there to avoid the limelight.
Ye Dalang got the news that Su Xiucai would be released from prison early tomorrow morning, so he left the city and headed for the provincial capital as soon as the city gate opened.
The Zhao family got the news and left the city that night.
Zhou Laosan went to see them off and gave them another ten taels of silver, with only one request, which was to cut the tendons of Su Xiucai's hand.
The Zhao family has already moved to another mountain. With this money, they will hide in the mountains for a year or two, buy some land in another place, and settle down.
The people in Kaoshan Village did not get involved anymore. They waited to hear the news.
Ye Dalang did not go home the night before and stayed in a yard in the city for a day.
Early the next morning, he personally escorted Su Xiucai out of prison and watched the Su family's carriage go unimpeded towards the city gate.
Ye Dalang was in a good mood. He was optimistic about the Zhao family. They were a group of ruthless people and they would definitely get what they wanted.
