Liu Qingcao took a look at Chen Shoushan and looked away.

This person is Chen Cuizhi's father! ?

She can say with certainty that there is nothing alike between the father and daughter.

"Chen Shoushan, do you know what the consequences of deceiving this official are?"

Gan Changsu snorted coldly and scolded him harshly.

Chen Shoushan turned pale with astonishment, and begged for mercy.

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin sent four servants to look for my son-in-law yesterday, but they haven't returned yet."

"Where does your son-in-law live, why did you send someone to look for it?"

"Here, Huigan county magistrate, Xiaomin doesn't know where his family lives, so he sent someone to follow and inquire."

Chen Shoushan met Gan Changsu's gaze, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't even speak.

"I don't know? Chen Shoushan, as the master of these servants, without your permission, they will attack your son-in-law. I advise you to recruit them honestly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

Seeing that he was still arguing, Gan Changsu slapped the gavel and glared angrily at Chen Shoushan who was kneeling on the ground.

Chen Shoushan saw that Gan Changsu was not easy to fool, and those four people dared to disobey his orders and make decisions without authorization. Knowing that the matter was not easy, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to explain, so that he would not be implicated by them.

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin didn't let them attack him, I, I just asked them to follow him so that he could find his residence. Please be clear, magistrate."

"Then you send people to follow, why are you looking for him? I remember that the matter between your Chen family and Pan family was very noisy. It was so lively."

"..., County Magistrate Gan, there is a misunderstanding about the affairs of Xiaomin's house, some misunderstanding."

The corners of Chen Shoushan's eyes twitched, he was too guilty to raise his head.

That incident will be well known to all, and the Pan family's handwriting is indispensable, but in the end, they couldn't please each other. His family lost their son, and they lost their daughter. In the end, they could only admit that they were unlucky.

"Misunderstand?"

"Yes, it was a misunderstanding. Xiaomin planned to pick them up this time, but he didn't expect to come here first."

Chen Shoushan wiped the sweat from his brow, and said nonsense.

Gan Changsu didn't want to take care of the Chen family's affairs, so he waved his hands impatiently.

"This is your family matter. I don't want to take care of it, so I will ask you, did you send someone to follow Pan Yong and the two of you, did you ask them to do anything?"

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin only asked them to follow, and never asked them to do anything."

"You didn't tell them to do things, but as their master, you didn't discipline them well, so you have to bear the responsibility."

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin"

Chen Shoushan doesn't know what those people did now, so he has to take the responsibility, feels wronged, and needs to argue.

How could Gan Changsu listen to his nonsense, interrupted directly, and made a verdict.

"Chen Shoushan, a citizen of Xinxian County, was severely injured by his servants due to ineffective discipline. The official sentenced Chen Shoushan to compensate the victim with 100 taels of silver.

One, 100 taels! ?
Chen Shoushan's eyes widened, his face full of pain.

"Magistrate Gan, can you give me less money, Xiaomin's family really can't afford that much money."

"Chen Shoushan, I handle the case impartially. Whether you have 100 taels is a matter for your Chen family. If you commit another crime in the future, it will not be a matter of 100 taels."

Gan Changsu was displeased, this Chen Shoushan was quite courageous, he dared to openly provoke and deceive him, it seems that the punishment was not severe enough.

Chen Shoushan saw that Gan Changsu's face darkened, and he didn't dare to take chances to bargain any more. He nodded weakly, and reluctantly took out 100 taels and presented it up.

"Wu Hu, you take the 100 taels back and hand them over to the wounded. The four villains don't have to be escorted here. They stay in your yamen and do some coolies to make up for their mistakes."

"Yes, County Magistrate Gan." Wu Hu bowed and took the bank note, nodding his head heavily.

"It's okay, just leave the hall."

Gan Changsu glanced at the few people in the hall, and made a sound to drive them away.

"Yes, Xiaomin resigns."

"The girl retire."

……

In Qianfeng Town, Liu Qingcao and Wu Hu arrived at the town's office before dark.

As soon as he entered the yamen, Wu Hu explained Gan Changsu's meaning to Xia Gengcai, while Liu Qingcao stood aside and watched quietly.

Xia Geng nodded after listening, and handed the 100 taels of silver to Liu Qingcao, speaking earnestly.

"Qingcao, you are a little girl, you will take someone with you wherever you go in the future. Look at the two big men, they are both jealous and almost lost their lives."

"Thank you Master Xia for reminding, Qingcao remembers."

Liu Qingcao smiled and nodded in thanks.

The two officials in the town government and the county government gave her a good impression, at least they were not cowardly officials.

In the Qianfeng Medical Center, Liu Qingcao happily entered the hall with 100 taels of bank notes.

Jiang Dafu and Pan Yong, supported by their daughter-in-law, were about to get up and leave.

Seeing Liu Qingcao coming in, several people stopped moving.

"Qingcao, you're back, what's up, did those people catch it?"

Wang Chunhua looked her up and down, found nothing unusual, and asked about the result of the matter.

Liu Qingcao nodded, took out a bank note from her pocket, and put it on the table.

"This is the county magistrate asking the Chen family to pay 100 taels of compensation. You don't have to worry about the next medical expenses."

"This."

Wang Chunhua was overjoyed, hope appeared in his eyes, and then he turned his head to look at Jiang Dafu, Jiang Dafu shook his head firmly and spoke.

"Qingcao, I'm almost on the mend. You save the money for Pan Yong to treat first. There is something wrong with his hand. Doctor Yang said it hurt his muscles and bones. He needs a lot of precious herbs, and it may not be cured."

Liu Qingcao looked at Pan Yong and saw that his right hand was hanging abnormally, so she knew what Jiang Dafu said was true.

The medical conditions in ancient times were limited, and the treatment of typhoid and cold was okay. For such a disease that hurts the muscles and bones, the imperial doctor in the capital would shake his head when he came, let alone the doctor in this small town.

"Brother Jiang, these 50 taels, you take it. The injury on your leg can be cured completely without spending any money. It will leave the root of the disease, and it will hurt every rainy day in the future. The older you are, the more obvious the symptoms will be. You Don't take it seriously now."

Liu Qingcao looked at Jiang Dafu disapprovingly, and tried to persuade him.

"Dafu, just listen to Qingcao. Both of you have serious injuries. Treat them first. If you don't have enough money, we'll figure out a solution when the time comes."

Wang Chunhua tugged on Lajiang Dafu's sleeve with firm eyes.

Pan Yong and Chen Cuizhi also nodded in agreement.

These 100 books are for the treatment of the two of them, if it is only for him, he is not willing.

"Brother Jiang, your injury needs to be healed properly. We'll talk about other things later."

Liu Qingcao made a final decision and gave him no chance to refute.

100 taels is not much, and it is not much, but it is not enough if you want to cure the disease without leaving the root cause of the disease by relying on medicine in the clinic.

Pan Yong's injury, she has spiritual spring water that can slowly nourish and recuperate, but Jiang Dafu can't always have the opportunity to use it for him. If she doesn't use medicine from the hospital, it may not be completely healed.

Jiang Dafu looked at the resolute attitude of several people, knowing that it would be useless for him to object, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

On the way back to Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao took a sneak peek at Chen Cuizhi, seeing Pan Yong's appearance all over her eyes, so she knew her attitude.

Chen Shoushan must have some intentions in sending people to follow Pan Yong. As for what the county government said, even the county magistrate didn't believe it, let alone her.

Chen Cuizhi and her husband had been bought by her for a long time, and Chen Shoushan still hadn't let go of her thoughts on them. It seemed that she had to go to Chen's house to have a look if she had the chance.

When Liu Qingcao and his group returned to Shihe Village, it was time for every family to rest.

Jiang Dafu got off the bullock cart at Jiangzhai, Jiang Dayin heard the voice and hurried out to continue.

After he learned that his elder brother was injured, he came to the town to see him, but was sent back to school by his brother.

At night, in the quiet courtyard, Liu Qingcao couldn't sleep, and sat alone in the thatched shed, playing with a straw in his hand.

"Girl, what are you thinking?"
