Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang had imagined many scenes of the first night after returning from Qinzhou Prefecture.

But most of the scenes are associated with the words "not suitable for children".

In the few remaining scenes that can pass the review, the couple must be in a state of "being honest with each other".

But he never imagined that on the first night after returning, the couple would sit under the eaves, watching the sun rise in the east.

At this moment, Chen Lang suddenly thought of a classic line from a domineering president novel.

"It's dawn, time to bankrupt the So-and-so family."

Unfortunately, Chen Lang is not the domineering boss, but that certain person.

And it's not just bankruptcy.

You may become disabled or even die.

Because only when Chen Lang dies can Chen Lang's identity as a Liao person be completely confirmed.

"Liao people? Haha." Chen Lang smiled helplessly: "I am the leader of the Chengqiao Gang."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the yard.

Li Xiuzhi went over to open the door and saw several villagers from Hezhong Village carrying Li Xiaohu in.

Li Xiaohu was covered in wounds and his face was extremely pale, but a smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Sister, I found someone!"

Chen Lang stepped forward quickly and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "I'll tell you later."

He immediately called the servants in the house and asked them to send Li Xiaohu to Pingzhilin first.

Li Xiaohu said, "Sister, I'm not going to Pingzhilin. I'm going to the government office."

Chen Lang frowned and said, "Why are you going to the government office like this? Listen to your sister and go to Pingzhilin to find Xu Fei."

"Chunhua, take your man to the hospital, quickly."

Zhao Chunhua hurried out and saw Li Xiaohu covered in bruises. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to cry. She called two male servants from the tofu shop and carried Li Xiaohu on a sedan chair to Pingzhilin.

"Seventh sister, Cuicui, you two are responsible for taking care of the little ones." Chen Lang said.

Xiao Qimei and Cuicui nodded, each holding a little one, and went back to the house.

Chen Lang sighed and said, "Now you can tell me what's going on, right?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "Last night, Xiaohu insisted on going out of the city to get help, and I agreed."

"The city gates are all closed, how can we get out?"

"Climbing ditch."

Chen Lang was stunned.

The ditch leading out of the city has a more intuitive name, the sewer.

In addition to human excrement, there are also a large number of animal carcasses. The concentration of methane is extremely high, and you will die if you are not careful.

Li Xiaohu actually chose this way out of the city and survived.

This life is so tough.

This kindness is too great.

"You should have told me." Chen Lang sighed, "If something happens to Xiaohu, how will we face Chunhua?"

Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and said, "It's my fault. I lost my composure at the time and didn't stop him firmly. Thinking about it now, I'm still scared."

Chen Lang gently pulled Li Xiuzhi's hand and said, "Xiuzhi, I don't mean to blame you. I just... that's all. Let's not talk about the past. Go wash your face. I'll talk to the villagers."

Li Xiuzhi nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Chen Lang looked around and found that most of the villagers from Hezhong Village had come.

He was deeply moved and bowed, saying, "Thank you all for your help, fellow villagers. I will never forget this kindness."

Aunt Qi said, "Erlang, don't say that. If it weren't for you, everyone in our village would have died in the flood."

"We all remember your kindness to us."

At this time, Zhuzi walked out from the crowd, tears on his face, but his eyes were extremely determined. He said, "Uncle Lang, I'm not only here to help you, but also to save my grandfather."

Chen Lang was stunned: "What happened to the old man?"

Zhuzi said, "Last night, several officials came and said they wanted to investigate a case."

"They forced Grandpa to admit that you are a Liao dog."

"Grandpa refused to acknowledge me, saying I was from Yan, not Liao. The officers were so angry that they took Grandpa away."

Chen Lang flew into a rage and cursed, "Fuck you!"

"These damned police officers, it's fine if they just bully me, but they even don't let go of an old man in his seventies."

At the same time, Chen Lang also figured out the whole story.

After all, I am a scholar. As long as the court does not order the results of this examination to be invalidated, the title of scholar will be firmly on my shoulders.

The laws of the Great Yan Dynasty stipulated that officials should not be punished.

When arresting a scholar for questioning, you cannot use torture to force him to confess.

At present, the only evidence of his Liao ethnicity is the confession of Old Man Chen's family, which is still a little incomplete.

So the envoys set their sights on the villagers of Hezhong Village. As long as one of these villagers came forward to identify Chen Lang as a Liao person, the case would become a solid case.

At the same time, the person who identifies Chen Lang must also have a certain prestige, so the elderly people in the village will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt and become the subject of questioning by the Procuratorate.

However, the people in the Censorate did not expect that Grandpa Zhuzi had such a strong character and would not go along with them at all.

Since the soft one is not enough, then use the hard one.

Grandpa Zhuzi is just an ordinary citizen, and in the eyes of the officials in the Censorate, he is nothing. If they put him in jail and use a little tricks, they will naturally make him "tell the truth."

Even if Grandpa Zhuzi is really a stone from the toilet, smelly and hard, by forcibly pulling his hand to make a bloody fingerprint, this case can be made into an ironclad case.

After dealing with Chen Lang, I will find a reason to release Grandpa Zhuzi.

By that time, the matter was done and Grandpa Zhuzi couldn't make any trouble.

Chen Lang clenched his fists and said sternly, "My dear uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, Grandpa Zhuzi has been arrested by the government because of me. I must go to the government to rescue him."

"If you are willing, please come with me."

The villagers responded in unison: "We are here for this matter."

"What's wrong with the government? They can't wrongly accuse good people!"

"Erlang grew up under our care, how could he be a Liao person? These officials have no good intentions."

"Let's go to the government office and ask for an explanation!"

Led by Chen Lang, dozens of people from Hezhong Village marched towards the government office in a mighty procession.

Halfway through the journey, Sheng Chuliang also joined in.

He said to Chen Lang, "Erlang, if things really get out of hand, you can put the blame on me and say it was all my idea."

Chen Lang looked at Sheng Chuliang and recalled the scene when he became his apprentice.

At that time, Sheng Chuliang refused to accept me as his apprentice because he was afraid that my past would implicate his apprentice.

But now I am not so involved in my teacher's past. Whenever my teacher is involved, I am involved as his apprentice.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Teacher, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is directed at me. Even if they push it onto you, their target is still me."

"So this time, I have to fight them to the death. Either I win or I die."
