After the banknotes were found and the masked men ran away, everyone in the Chen family got up from the mud. They all looked at Chen Yanfeng with bruises and swollen noses and faces.

"Third uncle (third brother), are there any left?"

"No more! All gone!"

One was taken out from the lapel, two were taken out from the belt, and two were taken out from the shoes.

The five hundred taels of silver notes were all gone before they were warm to the touch!

Chen Yanfeng threw the torn cotton shoes out, and his body hurt even more!

He got one more beating than the others!

He had a banknote on his body. After the people found the banknote on his body, they thought he had something hidden and beat him again.

Everyone froze in place.

One moment, I was complaining about the difficulty of walking on the road mixed with slush and didn't want to carry anything back. The next moment, I didn't have to carry anything.

Because there is no money.

"Dad, what should we do?"

Chen Huaibiao's confused question aroused Chen Yankang's anger: "How do I know!"

He threw the pole to the ground, turned around and walked towards Luomapo.

After Chen Yanping was stunned for a moment, he went over to help Chen Yanfeng: "Third brother, how about we report to the official?"

Chen Yanfeng paused for a moment, then seemed to come to his senses: "Reporting to the official?"

Yes! You can also report to the official!

They have been robbed and can report it to the authorities!

They are now ordinary people, no longer refugees, they can definitely report to the government!

Chen Yankang, who had already walked a hundred meters away, stopped and turned around when he heard the sound, and then walked back.

"Yes! Report it to the official! We have been robbed!" Chen Yankang roared menacingly and looked at Chen Yanfeng.

Chen Yanfeng felt strange in his heart, but at the same time he was also unwilling.

This is the boundary of Xintao Town, and there are always people coming and going on this road. I have never heard of bandits.

How come bandits suddenly appeared?

When he thought of this, Chen Yanfeng was filled with doubts: "Okay, go report to the official."

Easier said than done.

It takes an hour for a carriage to travel to Yongzhou Mansion. How long does it take to walk there on two legs?

What's more, the road is covered with snow and mud, making it cold and wet when you step on it.

By the end, several people’s feet were numb.

Chen Huaibiao even started to back off: "How about we stop going? Will the government accept it if we run like this?"

Chen Yanfeng's voice was calm: "If you don't want to go, you don't have to go, but if the money is recovered, you won't use a single copper."

These words successfully calmed Chen Huaibiao: We are already halfway gone, how can we say we won’t go and not go?

So the group continued to walk to Yongzhou Mansion.

When it got dark, the group saw the gate of Yongzhou Mansion!

Seeing that the city gate was about to close, several people rushed to Yongzhou Mansion shouting: "Oh wait! Wait..."

God, if we were locked outside the city gate, these people would be tired, hungry, and cold, and they would probably die outside the city!

Fortunately, the soldiers at the door were kind-hearted and waited patiently for them to enter before the city gate closed with a creak.

They had been to Yongzhou Mansion before and walked towards the government office in the direction they remembered.

Not far away, I heard passers-by talking: "Have you heard? The former Si Family Courtyard was sold, and the new buyer found two corpses and two disheveled young women in the yard... …”

"Young woman?"

"Disheveled?"

The people next to him were immediately filled with gossip and their voices were full of surprise.

"You don't know about this, right? I heard that they are refugees! They were captured by the evil spirits and imprisoned in them. The evil spirits died, but the two of them stayed there."

"Evil way? Is it the evil way raised by the previous Si family?"

"I guess..."

"So how are they doing now?"

"I heard that he was sent to the government..."

Chen Yanfeng and others looked at each other, and their steps slowly stopped. Refugees?

In the entire Yongzhou Prefecture, only his family is a refugee.

Two young women?

Could they be two of the three female relatives who were sent to the evil way?

Which two are they?

Is Qiao Yuerong still alive? Is it one of them?

Chen Yankang suddenly whispered: "Third brother, will they tell the truth?"

Chen Yanfeng: "...I don't know."

If you don't even know who the two are alive, how can you know whether they will tell the truth?

Chen Huaibiao was a little scared: "Third uncle, should we go to the government office?"

Qiao Yuerong was sent to the evil path by her third uncle and the others.

If Qiao Yuerong was really alive, would he report and expose his family?

If that's really the case, why don't you just throw yourself into a trap when your whole family goes to the government office?

Chen Yankang also hesitated and advised: "How about we inquire first?"

Chen Yanfeng's heart was already gripped by fear, but he gritted his teeth.

"We are not refugees now. As long as we were bitten to death because we were deceived by evil spirits and did not know beforehand that they were not dead, it should be fine."

"That's true..." Chen Yanping thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

So the group of people went to the government office again.

Sure enough, there was a sea of ​​people outside the government office, packed with people watching the excitement.

Two young women were kneeling in the hall, being interrogated.

What on earth is going on after living in the deserted Si Family Courtyard for such a long time? !

What happened during this period?

Thinking of the possibility, the onlookers' blood boiled with excitement, their necks stretched like fighting cocks, and they all looked towards the government office.

Chen Yanfeng was tall and stood out from the crowd of undernourished people. He could easily see what was going on inside.

Upon closer inspection, the two inside turned out to be Ye Daier and Chen Jingyan.

Where is Qiao Yuerong?

Is he dead?

Or escaped?

Ye Daier inside was telling the whole story to the newly appointed Magistrate Xie.

When they heard that there were actually two evil spirits, and they were a father and son, many people took a breath of cold air.

When they heard that they were sent to the evil ways by Chen Yanfeng and others, everyone gasped again!

"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. This family is really not human..."

"That's right! Let's forget about my concubine and give my biological daughter to evil spirits for destruction. Who is this person!"

"Hey! I heard that even my first wife was given away! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"I thought the people from the aristocratic families in the capital were so rich, but it turns out they are more vicious than us..."

"You're really not human!"

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, and the men from the Chen family standing in the crowd had tense faces and weak eyes.

If he stood up and complained at this time, and let people know that he was one of those "really not human" family, would his spine be broken?

So the men of the Chen family quietly retreated.

Chen Jingyan suddenly caught sight of Chen Yanfeng in the crowd from the corner of his eye, and immediately shouted: "Uncle San!"

Chen Yanfeng was caught off guard and stood stunned on the spot.

Magistrate Xie raised his eyes and said happily: "Take the person down!"

"Beast!"

"brute!"

"not human!"

"Not as good as a beast..."

The people outside were shouting curses, and a group of men from the Chen family knelt in front of the hall, all of them frowning and not daring to raise their heads. (End of chapter)
