Farming and reading family

Even he knew that Gao was definitely not the murderer, so how could his grandfather not know?

Xu Boyan just wanted Gao E to suffer a little and learn a lesson, otherwise she would think she was qualified to negotiate with him.

As for the Li family's affairs, Xu Boyan still feels that he has suffered a loss.

Although Gao E later gave him Liu Zhen, he is still lying half-dead, and there is no movement from Tanzhou Chen.

"Is there a problem?" Xu Boyan looked at Bai Hao.

"No problem." Bai Hao said firmly.

At this time, a servant came to report that Duan Shiying wanted to see him.

Xu Boyan sneered: "The man who wants to kill that woman is here, let him in."

It was a good thing for Duan Shiying that Gao E was imprisoned, but he felt uneasy, thinking that the woman was imprisoned for some inexplicable reasons. He heard from his son that Lord Xu never let the woman speak in court.

For this reason, he had to test the waters to find out what Mr. Xu's attitude was, so as to determine what he would do next.

"I, the humble servant Duan Shiying, greet you, sir." Duan Shiying bowed.

"What's the matter with visiting you at night, Mr. Duan?" Xu Boyan had an ambiguous smile on his face and had no intention of letting Duan Shiying sit down.

Duan Shiying didn't expect the other party to ask so directly, so he took out the things he had prepared and said, "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect, but I hope you will accept it."

Xu Boyan gestured, and Bai Hao went over to take the box, opened it, and handed it to his grandfather.

"Silver bills." Xu Boyan said as he took them out and started counting.

Duan Shiying felt a little unsure when he saw Xu Boyan's attitude.

"Three thousand taels." Xu Boyan counted them and put them in the box and closed the lid. "What do you want to do?"

Duan Shiying hurriedly saluted and said, "Sir, my sister and her family died unjustly. I beg you to severely punish Gao, so that my sister and her family can rest in peace soon."

"That Gao family is so despicable. They have kidnapped my nephew. Please send someone to bring him back." Duan Shiying said sadly.

"I haven't ruled Gao the murderer yet." Xu Boyan said slowly, "Are you going to make the decision on my behalf?"

"I dare not!" Duan Shiying looked terrified.

"Also, do you think I'm so cheap that I can get rid of you with just three thousand taels?" Xu Boyan laughed wantonly.

Duan Shiying's face is no different from many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes. It's really annoying.

Duan Shiying was stunned. "Please forgive me, sir. This is all our Duan family can offer right now." He hurriedly added, "But once my sister and her family are laid to rest, I will definitely pay double the tribute to you, sir."

"So you mean to give me the Chen family's money?" Xu Boyan analyzed.

That's true, but you can't be so direct.

He looked heartbroken: "I'm also doing this for my sister's family. How could such a good family encounter such a bad person..." He said as he wiped his tears.

Xu Boyan laughed in annoyance. His acting skills were far worse than Gao E's.

Duan Shiying couldn't continue acting: "Then my Lord..."

"I understand. You can go back first." Xu Boyan didn't want to pay attention to him.

Duan Shiying didn't know what Lord Xu meant by "knowing it", but if he stayed any longer, Lord Xu might get annoyed, so he had to bow and leave.

"Master, this banknote..." Bai Hao said as he clamped it under his armpit.

"There's no reason to refuse the banknotes that are sent to you." Xu Boyan didn't care.

"Yes." Bai Hao smiled happily. "Gao's...are they really going to let her stay in the cell for a night?"

That cell was not a place for human beings to stay. Rats were rampant. On top of that, it was hot, smelly, and fleas everywhere. He had to fumigate his clothes every time he came out of the cell.

Xu Boyan smiled without saying anything. He really wanted to know how Gao E would save herself.

Gao E beat Scarface and finally had some peace and quiet, but she couldn't eat the food in the cell because it was too dirty.

At this time, the cell door opened and a prison boss came over to open the cell.

"Ms. Gao, someone is here to visit you." The jailer looked directly at Gao E.

I thought he was a nobody, but he turned out to be a big fish with many connections in the government.

Gao E stood up and followed the jailer out. After turning a corner out of the prison door, she heard a commotion in the room.

"Eat well, brothers." Lu Hao invited everyone in the room to eat. "Drink as you please, but we can't let you guys get in the way."

Everyone was laughing. When they saw the jailer bringing Gao E in, they invited the jailer to come over for dinner as if they hadn't seen Gao E.

Lu Hao immediately went over and took Sister Gao to a small table nearby. "Don't worry, Sister. I've already arranged everything. At least you don't have to stay in the cell tonight."

Gao E looked at the food on the table and said, "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite, big sister?" Lu Hao smiled innocently. "It makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Gao E glanced at Lu Hao and started eating: "How's it outside?"

"The Duan family is telling everyone that it was Sister Gao who poisoned the Chen family and took Mr. Chen's son hostage." Lu Hao sighed. "Now the Duan family has taken control of the Chen family. Mr. Duan even went to visit Mr. Xu in the evening."

Gao E nodded, which was pretty much what she thought.

Seeing Sister Gao's calm demeanor, Lu Haokan felt a little anxious: "This is a major case of annihilating an entire family. Someone must be held responsible."

"Don't worry." Gao E glanced at Lu Hao. "What are you going to do later?"

"I won't leave tonight." Lu Hao glanced at the yamen runners and said, "I'll stay here. You can take a rest."

Gao E laughed when she heard Lu Hao say this, and felt that the money was not wasted.

"Sister, don't just laugh." Lu Hao thought, what's so funny when disaster is imminent?

"Chen Tao is fine." Gao E said calmly, "It's impossible for the Duan family to have their say."

"That's true, but Chen Tao is just a child after all. If the Duan family spends a lot of money and Lord Xu is bribed..." Lu Hao feels that all officials in the world are the same, they are all greedy for money.

"Even if the Duan family gave all of his and the Chen family's property to Lord Xu, they would not be able to bribe Lord Xu." Gao E was very sure.

Xu Boyan collected one million taels of silver for Prince Qing through a scheme, so how could he possibly be interested in the Duan family's stuff.

Besides, in the eyes of the Duan family, Xu Boyan was just a small county magistrate and it was impossible for them to spend so much money.

Lu Hao was curious: "Why?"

"You can check it out." Gao E said in a low voice.

Lu Hao didn't dare. He was scared when he saw Lord Xu.

Xu Boyan soon found out that Lu Hao had bribed the yamen runners to visit Gao E in the cell.

"Who is this Lu Hao to the Gao family?" Xu Boyan didn't know Lu Hao before.

"I don't know." Bai Hao spread his hands. "I heard he's a hanger-on in He County. He knows everyone from all walks of life."

Xu Boyan narrowed his eyes. He knew everyone from all walks of life and couldn't look down on them.

However, after only a short while, a person appeared who she had not noticed before. What other cards did Gao E have?

Think about it, the young lady of the Tao family always acts superior, but she is willing to make friends with Gao E. According to the information she got, it was Tao Meiyu who took the initiative to make friends with Gao E.
