Chapter 543
Xiao Erlang was dragged to the lobby and took out the cloth from his mouth. He immediately shouted, "brother, you hurt me. Obviously you asked me to do this. You pushed everything on me..."
He was so frightened that he remembered what Bai Shan said about exile last night. Therefore, as soon as he went to court today, he insisted that he was crazy and pushed everything he did at home. Who knows that his eldest brother put everything on him instead?
Seeing the county magistrate Tang looking at him suspiciously, he was afraid that he would be sentenced directly if he said it was late. He quickly defended: "adult, adult, what my eldest brother said is not true. I didn't open the vegetable field of the Yan family alone, but our whole family..."
Tang county made a sneer, "you are haunted and scary. You spend so much effort to grow a vegetable field in Yan family? Are you fools to be our officials? Somebody, drag Xiao Erlang down and beat ten big boards... "
"Yes!" The Yamen will drag him down when he comes up.
Xiao Erlang was so frightened that he quickly shouted, "no, no, not just for farming. I, we want to buy Yu's house..."
After being dragged to the yard, the Xiao family and his wife knelt down and heard what the second son said in the lobby. In an instant, they were dark and were about to struggle to make a sound, but they were pressed to the ground by a large board of the Yamen service, which could only make a whining sound.
But except that some of the audience around the yard noticed them, the nervous Xiao Dalang brothers in the lobby didn't hear their voices.
Xiao Erlang recruited and said that all this was the idea of his parents and big brother. After all, he was young and just a teenager more than two years ago. He didn't know how to make money, let alone grow vegetables in Yan's family.
Xiao Dalang was angry when he saw that the second brother pushed everything away. The two brothers argued with each other, and the Tang County order added firewood to stir up the fire. The brothers talked more and more. In less than three quarters of an hour, they knew everything they should know.
The onlookers outside the courtyard were stunned and amazed.
In fact, the Xiao family didn't really think so much at the beginning. It all started from the flood three years ago.
To be exact, two years and ten months ago, the sundry room of the Xiao family was a mud room. After half a month of heavy rain, it collapsed.
What the Xiao family didn't expect was that a big hole also collapsed in the wall of Yan's house behind the utility room.
It was the Yan Family's back garden. It was a little biased. Usually few people came. At that time, Yizhou was seriously flooded. Except for Yan assassin, others fled Yizhou, so the hole was not repaired or even found.
After the flood, there were countless victims. After the victims, angels came to the disaster relief, and then Yan Jishi was arrested. After six months of trial, the whole Yan family was copied, and a series of things came out. No one in the Yan family found the big hole that collapsed in a mess.
The Xiao family has built a sundry room with mud mixed with grass again, and then picked up a lot of bricks and stones from the Yan family.
Bricks and stones are not cheap.
During this period, in order not to be found by the Yan family, they beat brick embryos with mud mixed with grass and roughly repaired the collapsed corner.
As long as it's not a hole from a distance.
But when they built the utility room, I don't know whether they wanted to occupy so much land or they really had other ideas. Instead of building the back wall of the utility room, they used the built wall as their own house wall.
Later, the Yan family was copied. Xiao Erlang secretly pushed several big bricks and slipped over to see. He touched some porcelain, pots and mosquito nets from the Yan Family
These things are not valuable in the official family, so they are not copied clean when copying the house. People of the Xiao family occasionally go to look for them, turn them over and take some things easily.
Once, Xiao Erlang even picked up a piece of naked gold from under a table. Well, that's what Xiao Dalang said.
In addition to these things, there are lotus pods in the Yan Family's lotus pond and other fruits in the garden. Xiao Erlang is still a young man. He always goes to treasure hunting from time to time and picks some lotus pods and fruits to eat.
There were too many things to eat. The Xiao family took them to the market and sold them. Then they found that they could make a lot of money.
The Xiao family became excited and couldn't help taking the Yan family as their own back garden.
Before long, the government wanted to sell the Yan Family's house. The Xiao family had just tasted the sweetness and was naturally unwilling to give up. It happened that when a toothed man led people to the house, Xiao Dalang happened to pick lotus pods over there. When he hid, he made some sounds, which frightened the people.
Then the Xiao family learned from themselves without a teacher. They went to Yan's house to cry twice in the evening, and the wind came out, scaring away people who wanted to buy a house.
Then their courage grew stronger and stronger. Xiao's parents took a fancy to the land in Yan's back garden and felt that the land was very fat by flowers, so they pulled out all those flowers and planted vegetables.
The land is more close to the wall of the Yu family. If they move a little louder, the Yu family can hear the sound.
The tenants who live in Yu's house are more young scholars. These scholars have great courage and can't help asking when they hear the news.
For fear of being discovered, Xiao Jiasheng simply continued to pretend to be a ghost, and let Xiao Erlang, who was thin, wear a female ghost in sackcloth, scared the tenants of the Yu family away.
Later, the Xiao family took a fancy to the Yu family's house and wanted to buy it. After all, their family has two sons. If they can buy it, they will just give Xiao Erlang one.
And the two houses are door-to-door. It's really best to be one.
The abacus is very good. However, the price offered by the Yu family is too high. Even if this area is haunted, the Yu family has reduced some, and the money makes them very distressed.
So the Xiao family didn't buy it. Instead, they kept scaring away the tenants of the Yu family. Each tenant can't live long. As long as it is three months, as short as more than one month, they will be scared away.
The rent and house price of the Yu family also fell again and again, but it couldn't reach the psychological level of the Xiao family, so the Xiao family didn't buy it.
Although I didn't buy a house, the Yu family's house had been empty for half a year. In addition to being unable to live in, it had little impact on the Xiao family, so the Xiao family no longer pretended to be ghosts. They just talked to the neighbors from time to time. Last night, they seemed to hear the sound of ghosts crying again.
Because the Xiao family currently lives closest to the Yan family, no one doubts their words, so the rumor of haunting has been going on.
They thought that after another two years, the Yu family's house could not be rented out and they couldn't live in their own house. He would always sell it to them at a reduced price. Who knows that after half a year, the Yu family moved in again?
After observing for a few days and determining that the new tenant was also a scholar, Xiao Erlang made a move the night before yesterday.
Every time he pretended to be a ghost, he first entered the Yan Family from his sundry room, and then climbed from a hole in the Yan family to the alley. In this way, even if someone stared in the dark, they would treat him as coming out of the Yan Family and would not doubt that he was the Xiao family.
