Chapter 580: The next door complained, and the official came to the door

Bai Ruozhu suppressed her laughter and continued, "Second brother, have you heard anything?"

"I'm afraid it's as you guessed. The Turkic prince has many masters and is good at poisoning, so it's hard to catch him. Alas, I'm really worried. When I think of that night, they rushed to the main house to arrest my mother, and then took you and The scene where Xiao Si was seriously injured makes me really uneasy."

Bai Zepei sighed heavily as he spoke, as if his head would turn gray with sorrow.

"Fortunately, there was a city lord guard nearby that day. But we don't always have such good luck. Why don't you take your parents back to Anyuan Town."

"How can that be done? We don't feel comfortable leaving you alone to study in Beiyu City, and our family owes a lot of debt to develop in Beiyu City. What can we use to pay off the debt now? Do we have to sell all the land in our family? ?”

Bai Ruozhu narrowed her eyes as she spoke. The old lady was timid and would definitely want to run away when she heard there was danger. However, she was still greedy for money and was still thinking about her second house's money. She would only agree if she thought that her second house's debt might drag her down. Really let go.

"That Turkic prince is not an ordinary person. Even if we hide back to Anyuan Town, we can still find him if he wants to take revenge. It is even more impossible to go back to the village. We can't embarrass the villagers. If anyone sees his whereabouts or talks about him, , he might silence the entire village." Bai Ruozhu continued.

Bai Zepei glared at her and told her to stop talking. Bai Ruozhu stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"Oh, I wish I could wait until my second brother can become a Shangguan." Bai Zepei sighed.

The old lady Bai outside the yard didn't know how she got back to the house. She only felt that her hands and feet were cold and she couldn't sleep all night. She didn't even dare to extinguish the candle, and she thought it was some Turkic prince who brought someone here at the slightest hint of wind.

Finally she fell asleep, and she dreamed that a strong man with a beard and a scarred face picked her up, grabbed her hair and cut her neck with a knife. She watched her body slowly fall down, and she was so frightened. Yelled.

In the middle of the night, the old lady screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Everyone in the yard was awakened and almost thought something had happened again. Bai Ruozhu knew that Li Yi was dead, and Li Yi's men were also caught and killed, so he was not worried.

Bai Zepei winked at his parents, then rushed out of the yard and asked: "Is a bad guy coming? Report it to the official immediately!"

The old lady was trembling with fright. Even when Bai Zepei rushed into the main room, she was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly. Bai Zepei didn't expect that he would treat her like this, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, but thinking about the old lady's unstoppable behavior character, he felt relieved again.

"Nai, are you having a nightmare?" Bai Zepei went over and asked.

The old lady yelled: "You guys have no conscience, you asked me to be your scapegoat. I gave birth to your father in vain. You are not human, and God cannot tolerate it!"

Because she was too panicked, the old lady cursed a little incoherently.

After she scolded her like this, the people in the yard knew that nothing was wrong. The Zhang family and the Lin family didn't move forward and stayed in their own rooms.

It's just that Niu'er was timid. She was woken up by the old lady and started crying in fright. Then Deng Deng was also woken up and started crying in dissatisfaction.

Bai Ruozhu coaxed Deng Deng distressedly. She didn't know that the old lady was so timid. She thought she would clamor to leave early tomorrow morning at most, but she didn't expect that she was so scared before the night was over.

The old lady was crying and cursing. The scolding was so noisy that people could not sleep at all. Bai Zepei said with a straight face: "Mistress, where did you hear that? Don't talk nonsense, lest you provoke those who can't afford it." people."

"You still want to hide it from me? I have heard what you and Ruozhu said!" After all, Mrs. Bai was frightened by Bai Zepei's words, and she did not dare to mention the villain anymore. She just kept scolding her second wife for being unfilial and trying to kill her. .

At this time, someone suddenly shouted from the next door, "Old thief, you are making the noise again. I will have someone report you to the official now. You are disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night. You can go to the Yamen and be treated well!"

Bai Ruozhu recognized that it was an old man with a bad temper next door. The night her grandmother came, she screamed for someone to wash her feet. The old man also yelled and threatened to report her to the police.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and shook his head. After living here for so long, he never felt that his neighbor next door had a bad temper. It seemed that the old lady was really making a lot of noise and pissed off her.

What Bai Ruozhu didn't expect was that the old man really sent someone to report to the official. He probably had some relationship with the Yamen, and in the middle of the night, an official came to visit.

Just before the official came to the door, Old Mrs. Bai kept scolding her. She thought that she would leave tomorrow anyway, so she wouldn't be afraid of the dead old man next door. However, an official actually called the door, saying that she was disturbing other people's lives and wanted to take her to the Yamen for questioning.

"Ah? Isn't it enough for me to scold my own children and grandchildren? Did that person really report to the official? Why is he so lenient?" The old lady was a little dumbfounded. Her voice suddenly became softer, and she hid behind Bai Zepei and pushed. Bai Zepei pushed him and said, "My grandson is a scholar and a criminal, so please don't bully anyone in my family."

Bai Zepei's face darkened. He was a scholar, but the old lady borrowed his name to cause trouble. If he really wanted to be an official in the future, he would have to take care of the old lady's mouth.

"What's wrong with the scholar? Even the old lady of the city lord's family will not disturb others' rest in the middle of the night. You can scold your sons and grandsons as much as you want, and no one will stop you, but don't scold at the top of your voice in the middle of the night. Beiyu City has regulations. , as long as two neighbors report together, the Yamen will handle the matter, so don't yell, just come back to the Yamen with me first." An official said loudly.

"Isn't that damn old man next to me too troublesome? How can anyone else report it?" Old Mrs. Bai said with her lips curled up.

"The other family over there has also sent people to report you. They all think you are annoying. Okay, stop talking nonsense, go to the Yamen for one night, and wait for the elder to deal with it tomorrow morning. Don't waste time, we two brothers have done some errands. I need to go back to sleep." The official said and yawned, "Who are these people who are keeping quiet all night?"

Bai Yihong stepped forward and apologized and said with a smile: "Master official, my mother has a bad temper. I am willing to apologize to the neighbor next to me. Just because of her age, don't arrest her. I guarantee that she will not disturb others when they rest."

As he spoke, he winked at the old lady. The old lady was also afraid of going to jail and said hurriedly: "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely stop talking."

"No, Beiyu City has Beiyu City's rules. Everyone disturbs the people like this, and then just admits their mistake and lets it go? Then there will be no more chaos in the future?" The official glared at the old lady and said, "You are coming with me yourself. Or do you want me to tie you up and leave?"

Bai Ruozhu was afraid that if the old lady went to jail and got sick from fear, her plan would change. She hurriedly stepped forward to salute the official and said, "We are willing to compensate our neighbors, so please ask the official to be accommodating. During the day It’s okay to take my grandma to the Yamen again, but it’s not good for the old man to get cold and sick this late at night.”

The official glanced at the old lady and said, "Aren't your children and grandchildren very filial? Is there anything else you can't stop doing?"
