Chapter 543 Interrogation III

Xiao Erlang was dragged to the lobby, and only after he took out the cloth from his mouth, he immediately shouted: "Brother, you hurt me, obviously you let me do this, and you actually pushed everything to my head... "

He was quite frightened, and he still remembered what Bai Shan and the others said about the exile in his mind last night, so as soon as he went to court today, he insisted that he was crazy, and he pushed away everything he did at home. Eldest brother put everything on him instead?

Seeing County Magistrate Tang looking at him suspiciously, he was afraid that he would be sentenced directly if he said it was too late, so he quickly argued: "My lord, my lord, what my elder brother said is not true, I did not open the vegetable field of the Yan family alone , it was opened by our whole family..."

Magistrate Tang sneered, "You guys are both haunted and frightening, and you put so much effort just to plant a vegetable field in Yan's house? Are you fools to be officials? Come on, drag Xiao Erlang down and beat him too." Ten big boards..."

"Yes!" The yamen servant came up and wanted to drag him down.

Xiao Erlang was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "No, no, it's not just for farming, I, we want to buy the Yu family's house..."

The Xiao family couple who were dragged to the yard just knelt down and heard what the second son said in the lobby. Their eyes went dark for a moment, and they were about to struggle to make a sound, but they were pushed to the ground by a big board from the yamen servant, and they could only groan. Whooping sound.

But except for some spectators around the courtyard who noticed them, the Xiao Dalang brothers who were nervous in the lobby did not hear their voices.

Xiao Erlang recruited, saying that all of this was the idea of ​​his parents and elder brother. After all, he was still young more than two years ago, just a teenager, and he didn't know how to make money, let alone grow vegetables in Yan's house.

Xiao Dalang was also angry when he saw that the second child pushed everything away, so the two brothers started arguing with each other, while Magistrate Tang added fuel to the fire, and the two 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 really didn't think that much at first, it all started with the flood three years ago.

To be exact, two years and ten months ago, Xiao's utility room was a mud room, which collapsed after half a month of torrential rain.

What Xiao's family didn't expect was that a big hole collapsed in the wall of Yan's house behind the utility room.

It was the back garden of Yan’s family, which was a bit out of the way, and few people came here at ordinary times. During that time, Yizhou was severely flooded. Except for Yan Cishi, everyone else in Yan’s family fled Yizhou, so no one repaired the hole. , and may not even be noticed.

After the flood, there were countless victims. After the victims, angels came to relieve the disaster. Then Governor Yan was arrested. After half a year of interrogation, the entire Yan family was raided, and a series of things happened. A big hole that collapsed in a mess.

On the other hand, Xiao's house has re-built a utility room with mud and grass, and picked up a lot of bricks and stones that have fallen from Yan's house.

Masonry is also not cheap.

During the period, in order for the Yan family not to find out, they used mud and grass to beat the brick embryos, and roughly repaired the collapsed corner.

As long as it doesn't look like a hole from a distance.

But when they built the utility room, they didn’t know whether it was to occupy a little more land, or they really had other ideas. They didn’t build the back wall of the utility room, but used the fence wall they built as their own house wall.

Later, Yan's house was ransacked, Xiao Erlang secretly pushed a few big bricks and sneaked over to have a look, touched some porcelain, some pots, and some mosquito nets from Yan's house and came back...

These things are not valuable in the official house, so when they searched the house, they didn't clean it up. Occasionally, people from the Xiao family went to look for it, rummage through it, and took some things.

Once, Xiao Erlang even picked up a piece of gold nude from under a table, well, this is what Xiao Dalang said.

In addition to these things, there are lotus pods in the lotus pond of Yan's family, and other fruits in the garden. Xiao Erlang is still a young man, and he always goes to treasure hunting from time to time, so he picks some lotus pods and fruits to eat.

There were too many things for the family to eat, so the Xiao family took them to the market to sell, and found that they could make a lot of money.

The Xiao's family was moved, and couldn't help but treat the Yan's family as their own back garden.

Not long after, the government wanted to sell the house of the Yan family. The Xiao family had just tasted the sweetness, so naturally they were unwilling to give up. It happened that when a dental man led people to the house to look at the house, it happened that Xiao Dalang was picking lotus pods there, and when he hid, he made some noises, scaring to those people.

Then Xiao's family learned without a teacher, went to Yan's house to cry twice at night, and spread the news, scaring away people who wanted to buy a house.

Then they became more and more courageous. Xiao's parents took a fancy to the land in Yan's back garden, and felt that the land was well-fed by flowers, so they pulled out all the flowers and planted vegetables.

And that piece of land is more close to the wall of Yu's house. If they move a little more, they can hear the sound from Yu's house.

The tenants who rented at Yu's house were mostly young scholars, and these scholars were also very courageous, and they couldn't help inquiring when they heard something.

The Xiao family was afraid of being discovered, so they continued to pretend to be ghosts, and asked the thin Xiao Erlang to dress up as a female ghost in sackcloth, scaring away the tenants of the Yu family.

Later, the Xiao family fell in love with the Yu family's house and wanted to buy it. After all, their family has two sons, if they can buy them, they will just give one to Xiao Erlang.

Moreover, the doors of the two houses are opposite each other, so it is really good to be regarded as a family.

The abacus was well calculated, but the Yu family's asking price was too high, even if the area was haunted by ghosts, and the Yu family lowered it a bit, the money would still make them feel bad.

So the Xiao family didn't buy it. Instead, they kept scaring away the tenants of the Yu family. Every tenant couldn't live for long. It could be as long as three months, or as short as more than a month, and they would be scared away.

The rent and house price of the Yu family also dropped again and again, but they never reached the psychological level of the Xiao family, so the Xiao family never bought it.

Although I didn't buy a house, the Yu family's house had been vacant for half a year before. Apart from not being able to live in it, it had little impact on the Xiao family, so the Xiao family no longer pretended to be a ghost, and just talked to the neighbors from time to time, Last night they seemed to hear ghost cries again.

Because Xiao's family lives closest to Yan's at present, no one doubts their words, so there are always rumors of haunting.

They thought that if the Yu family's house could not be rented out for another two years, and they couldn't live in it, he would always sell it to them at a reduced price. Who knew that after half a year, the Yu family moved in again?

After observing for a few days and confirming that the new tenant is also a scholar, Xiao Erlang made a move the night before yesterday.

Every time he pretends to be a ghost, he first enters Yan’s house from his utility room, and then climbs into the alley from a hole in Yan’s house, so that even if someone is watching secretly, they will think that he came out of Yan’s house , will not doubt that he is the Xiao family.
