After hearing this, He Tongxin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, this is too big. I'm afraid my parents won't be able to bear it."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you, am I worried about finding someone to talk nonsense?"

He Tongxin thought for a while and laughed too, feeling that he had made such a fuss.

But the next day, someone knocked on the door of Lu Chen's house, telling them to go back quickly, saying that his third sister was taken away by the government.

"What's going on!" He Tongxin was shocked and panicked.

"Go back and have a look!" Lu Chen sullenly, drove the donkey cart with He Tongxin towards home.

As soon as I arrived at He's house, I heard He Xiucai's father, He Juren, scolding, "Your poisonous woman raised my son to death!"

"What's going on?" Lu Chen stepped into the yard.

"What's going on? Let me tell you, your third sister has committed the crime of beheading! How dare you stab my son with scissors! Now she has been arrested and sent to the government!" He Juren's voice was high and fierce, and the surrounding Everyone exclaimed.

"He Juren was joking, what stabbing is not stabbing, I think I accidentally touched it while doing work." Lu Chen said with a chuckle.

He Juren looked at Lu Chen coldly and said, "Whatever you say, your third sister is already in jail. Your He family's daughter is waiting to be killed!"

After He Juren finished speaking, he led the people away.

Lu Chen asked He Tongxin to close the courtyard door, entered the room and asked, "Does Dad know what happened?"

Father He shook his head weakly, and said, "I just heard that your third sister taunted He Xiucai for failing the exam, He Xiucai argued with her, and your third sister was so anxious that she wanted to kill He Xiucai with scissors, but now she has been taken away." .”

"How come!" He Tongxin said anxiously.

"Why is this San Niu so stupid!" Ji Shi also cried out.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "At this point, let's go to the yamen and ask about it before we talk about it."

"It has to be like this." Father He said as he put on his clothes and followed Lu Chen to the yamen.

The yamen heard that they came to see the prisoners, but they only said that they would not let them in. Lu Chen spent five taels of silver to let them have a look.

When they saw He Rouxiang, they found He Rouxiang sitting there with a sad face and blood on her body.

"Third Sister..." He Tongxin called softly.

He Rou Xiangmu turned her head and saw that it was Father He and the others, her eyes lit up first, and then she said in a gloomy voice, "Is the surname He dead?"

"San Niu, what's going on? Tell Dad, Dad knows you're not the kind of kid who does stupid things." Old He called out with red eyes.

He Rouxiang burst into tears after hearing this, and said, "What's there to say, that bastard failed the ranking by himself, came to insult me ​​when he got home, and wanted to do that bastard thing to me, of course I don't want to, but I didn't expect him to He wanted to tear off my clothes and throw me out, but I frightened him with the scissors, but he... bumped into me by himself!"

"This bastard!" He Tongxin shouted angrily.

"San Niu, my San Niu... Daddy will save you, don't let it get you!" Father He wept.

"Father, go ahead. I've also read the book, and I know that there are only me and him in the room. It's something that I can't say clearly. Life or death depends on God's will." He Rouxiang tried her best not to let it go. His own voice trembled.

When He Rouxiang said this, even Lu Chen was a little speechless.

"It's time, let's all get out!" Soon the cell boss came over and urged Lu Chen and the three to leave.

Lu Chen still wanted to pay for the money, but the prison boss didn't want it either, he just kept urging the three of them to leave.

When he got out of the prison, Father He sighed and his body went limp and he almost passed out.

"Father!" He Tongxin hurriedly supported Father He.

Father He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask the He family for this matter. No matter what happens, it's important to let them withdraw the case first."

"Give them some money, dad." Lu Chen said calmly.

Father He glanced at Lu Chen and said, "I can't take advantage of you like this, it's just because of my old face."

Lu Chen frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not a matter of face. The more we beg, the more tyrannical they will become. I mean first use money to support it, and then we will carefully check to see if there is any chance of overturning the case." .”

After hearing this, Father He shook Lu Chen's hand tightly, and said, "Is there really a chance? I'm afraid that the He family will want your third sister to die!"

"No chance, let's just create an opportunity, and I think it's still strange." Lu Chen helped Old Man He into the car, and said, "Father, if He Xiucai is really going to die, how can He Juren return?" Do you have the time to run around our house and play tricks?"

Father He froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed, what He Fugui'er loves the most is his son, who has been spoiled since he was a child. According to what you say, He Xiucai's injury wasn't that serious?"

"It's not heavy, let's just take a look." Lu Chen said in a calm voice, and then said, "And the third sister also said that it was He Xiucai who hit the scissors by himself. This is even more strange, that He Xiucai usually Li is the most selfish person, how could he be so bold all of a sudden."

"What do you mean?" He Tongxin looked at Lu Chen suspiciously.

Lu Chen flicked his whip, and said softly and vehemently, "I'm afraid he did it on purpose, and it was premeditated."

"How could it be! I know He Xiucai best, including his father, who doesn't have the brains and means." Father He said firmly.

Lu Chen sat up straight, looked in front of him with cold eyes and said, "That's because he was ordered by someone."

The more Old Man He listened, the more he felt confused and bizarre, and said, "I, Old Man He, have never had a relationship with anyone in the past and have no hatred in the near future. Who would use such an evil plan to frame your third sister?"

Lu Chen didn't speak at this time, it was already night when he came back from the yamen.

Father He insisted on going to He's house to have a look.

Naturally, the He family scolded Father He and the others bloodyly, and even came to beat Father He with a stick, but He Tongxin stretched out his hand to pinch and snap it and broke it.

Seeing that this was not going to work, Father He had no choice but to open his mouth and say that he was willing to take the money.

At this time, the He family let go, but the conditions they raised were like cannibalism.He said that He Rouxiang was going to divorce, and her dowry would go to the He family, and that in addition to 100 taels of silver, the He family would also provide for He Xiucai to study until He Xiucai was in high school.

"A farmer like me, where did he get the 100 taels of silver?" Father He was so angry that he was about to cry.

"Why not! Isn't your son-in-law very capable, let him take it! Or do you not care about your daughter's life at all?" He Juren said with a sneer, looking at Father He.

When Lu Chen heard about him, he had an expression on his face that he really did. He looked at He Juren and said, "We can agree to this, but you have to let us see if He Xiucai is dying. "

"Or you guys are just pretending to be injured and deceiving!" He Tongxin continued to shout.

He Juren's family was taken aback for a moment, and Lu Chen threw a tael of silver from his purse on the ground.

When He Juren's wife saw it, she hurried over to pick it up, and hit a stone with a slap, which made the woman run away in fright.

"Can I see you?" Lu Chen squinted at He Juren and asked.

He Juren hesitated for a while, and finally saw Lu Chen stepping forward and bending over to pick up the silver, so he shouted, "Throw the silver here!"

After hearing this, Lu Chen laughed and threw the money over. He Juren took the money and wiped it, and then said, "Only your father is allowed to go in and see, and you can't ask questions!"

"Why are you doing this!" Father He knew that Lu Chen was good at medicine, so he naturally wanted to let Lu Chen go, but he naturally didn't want to say that about He Ju, saying that he was afraid of scaring He Xiucai.

Lu Chen comforted Father He and asked him to go over and take a look, just to let him look more carefully.

Father He went over and couldn't take a second look, so He Juren's family closed the door defensively, urging Father He to leave quickly.

Father He trembled with anger, but he was helpless.

"Okay, you guys go back and prepare the silver. If you don't see the silver in three days, I will send your daughter to hell!" He Juren shook the silver and said with a full face.

Father He went out, swallowed hard several times and said, "I see that kid, there is blood all over the quilt, this...what to do!"

"Father, don't worry, if the He family is like this, then He Xiucai must not be seriously injured." Lu Chen sat firmly, and then said, "Leave this matter to me and Tongxin, don't worry."

Father He sighed several times, saying that he really had no other choice, if Lu Chen could save him, he didn't need to put all his belongings in for He Rouxiang, he had no choice but to pity He Rouxiang's life.

Lu Chen comforted Old Man He again, sent Old Man He home, and took He Tongxin back to his yard.

"Why don't you talk?" Lu Chen asked when he saw He Tongxin's face was sombre and silent on the road.

"Zhang Chunming, you bastard!" He Tongxin gritted his teeth and cursed.

"You also think he ordered it?" Lu Chen asked softly.

He Tong shook his heart a few times, and said, "Except for him, no one else has such vicious schemes, and my third brother-in-law respects him the most on weekdays, and I'm afraid he will do whatever he says."

"It looks like the third sister is the target this time, but she is actually here for our money. After all, we know that the only one who can give us 100 taels of silver is Zhang Chunming, who stayed at the auction house!" Lu Chen followed up. said a word.

He Tongxin looked at Lu Chen in surprise and said, "You mean he found us when we were in the county?"

"It's very possible, I just don't know how he got the news, maybe it's the Gu family's business..." The more Lu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that was the case.

"Why is he so black-hearted! No, I'm going to the county town to beat him to death!" He Tong wanted to jump out of the car angrily.

"Okay, you have no proof, and he is relying on a big tree now. If we go there, we may end up hurting the enemy by one thousand and ourselves by eight hundred." Lu Chen pulled He Tongxin back, and then said, "The most urgent thing is to first Solve the matter of the third sister."

"Is it really necessary to pay the He family money? And when this matter comes to an end, the third sister is afraid that she will bear this bad reputation." He Tongxin felt heartbroken when he thought about it.

"Our family's money sucks, I'm afraid that their He family won't be able to eat it." Lu Chen also got angry, and said, "Besides, our grievances are also involved in the third sister's matter. Don't worry, I won't ignore it."
