Chapter 89: jail time

Doomed to sleepless tonight, the city is full of torches, shining like day.

After Li Haitang and his party left, Xiao Taohong came out of the bathtub, wiped off the water on her body, and frowned at the soaked and whitish wound.

Fortunately, after suturing, the wound did not open, which saved him a lot of trouble.

The magistrate is shrewd and likes to do superficial work the most. Even if he wants to frame him, he will find someone similar. He can be sure that Li Haitang's life is not in danger, but he may have to suffer a bit.

"Haha, little Haitang, no one is lucky."

Xiao Taohong couldn't help laughing twice, if it wasn't for fear of attracting people, he would have looked up to the sky and laughed, no one has ever made him so happy like Pistachio.

Singing in the whole class in De, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys are all about other people's lives. He is Xiao Taohong, who only exists in the play.

How many women in the world are worthy of him? If there is, Li Haitang is probably the only one.

But, what can he give her?

…

In the dead of night, people are still, wherever the officials go, chickens and dogs jumping, screaming, crying, can be heard endlessly.

There was a lot of noise along the way, and Li Haitang discovered that it wasn't just herself who was unlucky, but also the rest of the men who were tied up.

Compared with others, the officials were kind to her, at least she didn't suffer from flesh and blood.

A group of people entered the magistrate's yamen, but they didn't even see the magistrate's face, and were thrown directly into the dungeon where the death row prisoners were held.

Men and women were held separately, and beside her, there was a woman who looked a little familiar.

Li Haitang pondered for a long while before he remembered that this person was the one whom Qin Yuanwai met with his savage husband on the night of stealing the deed!

From Border Town to Lucheng, now in the same cell, the two really have a fate!

"You are, Li Haitang?"

The other party recognized her first, and took the initiative to say, "I was born in Lixia that day. I don't have a name. Call me Lixia."

Li Xia was betrayed by his parents and had no home at all, and he would never be able to return to that home.

Qin Yuanwai looked at Li Haitang's portrait more than once, so Li Xia recognized it, she smiled wryly, "So I am a servant girl of the Qin family."

"Why did you come in?"

Li Haitang raised his eyebrows. Once Qin Yuanwai died, all the servants of the Qin family would be resold. If Li Xia couldn't redeem himself, he would inevitably suffer the fate of being sold a second time.

"It's a long story."

Thinking of those bad memories, Li Xia couldn't help moistening her eyes. In essence, she and Li Haitang were the same kind of people, but Li Haitang was lucky and managed to escape before getting married.

When Qin Yuanwai died, the Qin residence was in chaos. She knew Qin Yuanwai's habits in the inner house, and hid a bank note and coins in a secret place in the house.

The servants in the mansion were all concerned about themselves, so Li Xia stole those things and took out a small part to redeem himself.

After leaving the Qin Mansion, she had nowhere to go, and with so much money in her pocket, she always felt unsafe, so after much deliberation, she ran to Lucheng to beg for a living.

"I live in the east of the city, renting an old lady's house."

The old lady became widowed when she was young, leaving no sons and daughters behind. When she was old, she was alone and had no one to depend on, so she lived on the rent of the house.

Once Li Xia left, her body was covered in bruises, which attracted the attention of the old lady, and when the two of them got to know each other well, she didn't hide anything and told the truth.

The old lady loves her more than her own mother treats her, so Li Xia recognized her relatives, worshiped her godmother, and mother and daughter lived together.

"Haitang, why did you come in?"

Li Xia adored Li Haitang a little bit, he didn't feel jealous because of the other party's good luck, on the contrary, he was happy that Li Haitang was not tortured by that perverted Qin Yuanwai.

"It's hard to say."

Li Haitang rubbed the center of his brows, sighed, and pointed to the gauze on his shoulder, "I was slightly injured before, and the group of officials suspected that I was a Jiangyang thief, so they brought me here!"

"me too."

Li Xia smiled wryly, the two were really sisters in need, and their luck was so similar, they agreed that after they got out, they would go to the Baita Temple outside Lucheng to offer incense and pray for blessings.

"Haitang, your husband treats you very well, right?"

Li Xia is very envious. Every girl wants to marry a sweetheart. She has such an experience, and she will never be able to marry again.

"It's okay, he's going out to walk darts, and he won't be back until the end of the year."

In front of Li Xia, Xiu Enai was not kind, Li Haitang spoke very modestly, she had been away for more than half a month, she thought of Xiao Lingchuan, he must feel distressed when he learned that he had been imprisoned for no reason.

Li Qiuju has a disagreement with the original owner, and she is also incompatible with her. If everyone is dead, she has to be harmed once.

"Hey, why are you two ladies still in here? These officials don't have eyes?"

In the men's prison next door, sat a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The reason for his arrest was even more ridiculous.

The family is poor, his daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and she is suffering from a financial loss. He goes to work, but the landlord refuses to pay the money, which is for the daughter-in-law to make up for.

As soon as he got angry, he stole a hen from the landlord's house, was caught by the servant, and was beaten up.

The hen was not stolen, and he was beaten for a while. His wife had no chicken soup to make up his body. cell.

The man was extremely depressed, he wanted to ask, Jiang Yang Bandit, is there anyone who lives so aggrieved? At most, it was an attempt to steal a hen!

"Those landlords and rich people will cheat us poor people, and they are not afraid of having children who will be crippled in the future!"

Lixia thought of Qin Yuanwai, and yelled at him, what's the use of having a big family? There are a lot of crimes, and there is not even one who falls into the basin after death. In the future, he will be reborn as a beast in the next life.

The three reached a common front and chatted together, and their sense of fear was greatly reduced. Li Haitang inquired that the man's name was Liu Daniu, and he was from Xiahe Village next to Shanghe Village. Originally, the family was poor, but life was passable. His daughter-in-law was not in good health. After getting married, she became ill. A few years ago, she gave birth to a daughter. The daughter was in poor health. She went to the doctor to take medicine, so she sold the family's land for this.

I didn't like it, so I went when I was three years old.

This dragged on for several years, and his daughter-in-law finally had a boy again. Because the food was not nutritious, she couldn't produce milk, and the son drank milk.

"There is a field for sale in Xiahe Village, and the landlord is going to sell it!"

Speaking of the landlord, Liu Daniu gritted his teeth. He wanted to work in the town, but he was afraid that his wife would not be taken care of, so he was very entangled.

"Have fields?"

Li Haitang and Li Xia looked at each other, both of them had some money in their hands, and if they bought a field and went out to cultivate it, they would not have to worry about food every year.

In this way, the three of them negotiated a deal in prison, with Liu Daniu as the broker, Li Haitang and Li Xia bought the land, and Li Xia wanted to buy a house in the village and moved there with his godmother.

The city is good, but the place is small, the yard is not big, and the food, eggs, and meat to eat have to be bought with silver, so it is not as comfortable as living in the village.

She can't work in the field, but it is possible to grow some vegetables in the small yard in front of the gate. Moreover, Xiahe Village is remote and simple, and no one knows her past. The feeling in the prison was unbearable, with wind leaking from all sides, it was icy cold, Li Haitang and Li Xia spent the night leaning back to back.
