Xiao Lingchuan's so-called adventure made Li Haitang's thoughts spring up, and a script was formed in her mind. She had hardly been out of Li's Village for fifteen years, so she didn't know how to explain her medical skills to him.

At present, the best way is to push it to the late mother Ruan Shi, but according to the original owner's knowledge, Ruan Shi doesn't understand medicine.

Early the next morning, the three set off for Lucheng.

Lucheng is the hub of the Great Northern Land, and its scale is larger than that of the border towns. There are many products here, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.

"Little brother, that night at Chunniang's house..."

Li Haitang took advantage of the time when the savage went to buy breakfast, and confessed to Li Jinhu that the reason why he knew medicine was taught by his mother Ruan.

"Sister, it's good that mother is alive, I miss mother."

Li Jinhu's eyes were red, and he had no doubts. In his eyes, it is not surprising that my mother can read, paint, embroider exquisitely, and make delicious snacks. She is omnipotent and knows medicine.

"Jin Hu, before Mother left, she was most worried about you."

After passing another level, it was smoother than I thought. Li Haitang felt a big stone in his heart, and patted his younger brother's head, "When I get home, my sister will ask if there is a private school opened by a decent scholar around to send you to the school." Go in and study."

Li Jinhu was a little reluctant, he wanted to be with the eldest sister, but thinking of his mother's wish, he still gritted his teeth and nodded.

After a while, Xiao Lingchuan entered the carriage with two bowls of wontons. Li Haitang keenly noticed that his brows were knotted, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

"Sun Tietou's house is in the alley at the gate of the city."

Xiao Lingchuan opened the car window and pointed to a dark alley not far away. His brother Sun Tietou, who was walking with him, lives here. He wanted to come and say hello first. Unexpectedly, the windows and doors of Sun's house were closed, so he asked the neighbors Only then did I know that Sun Tietou had gone out with his wife.

"I don't know where he went?"

Li Haitang also frowned. He Fang's tuberculosis was in the advanced stage and he had complications. If it dragged on for a day, the danger would increase a bit.

Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, he was a life and death escort, he was away from home all year round, he liked to be alone, and he was not very familiar with his neighbors.

Even if they sneak into the Sun's house to search, they may not be able to find those medicinal herbs. It is their habit for many years to hide the money they get from the darts in a hidden place.

"Brother Xiao, what shall we do? Should we stay in Lucheng and wait for two days?"

Li Haitang couldn't make up his mind. Of the medicinal herbs for treating tuberculosis, only pig ears and messy hair remained, and the rest had already been gathered.

"Let's go home first, go home and wait for news."

Xiao Lingchuan thought about it. Staying here is useless and a waste of time. He has already entrusted someone to send a message to his brothers. If he can contact Sun Tietou, he will send him a letter.

When no one was found, the group lost their minds of wandering, turned their horses around, and headed back home, arriving at the county just at the end of noon.

The carriage passed by the yamen and was surrounded by the crowd. The younger brother Li Jinhu had sharp eyes and held Li Haitang's hand, "Sister, look, the officials are escorting Mrs. Li!"

Mrs. Li has always been eccentric, and the siblings have been tortured, so the "milk" can't be called out no matter what.

In the crowd, Mrs. Li was ashamed, tearing up with the officials, sitting down on the ground, and kept patting her thighs, "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate!"

"Old lady, what do you have to tell our master Qingtian, don't make trouble for our brothers!"

The officials with their arms akimbo are very contemptuous of her behavior, they can't sell their granddaughters, and they don't want to return the betrothal money given by the Qin officials.

"Master, half of my old lady is going to be buried in the ground, and I still have to suffer this crime. Li Haitang is married from the Li family. The Qin family has no guardian, so it has nothing to do with us. I still want to find important people outside the Qin family! "

Mrs. Li was afraid of the official errand, so she was so frightened that her hands and feet were weak, but in comparison, she couldn't have no money, and the money had already been spent, so she couldn't let her sell the house and fields, it would be better to just take her old life !

What's wrong with Master Qingtian, can he not care about the life and death of the people? Mrs. Li just wanted to make a fuss and show her grievances.

"You old godmother, you are so unreasonable. You took hundreds of taels of silver from our staff and signed a contract of sale to Li Haitang. It is still a death contract. Now the transaction cannot be completed. The person ran away, and we lost a lot! Don't report it. Officer, do you think it's bad luck?"

The housekeeper of the Qin residence pointed at Mrs. Li's nose and cursed, and the people around were whispering, knocking melon seeds, drinking tea and watching the excitement.

"Death contract?"

Li Haitang spat out a mouthful of water, unable to maintain his superficial calm any longer.

The subordinates are divided into life deed and death deed. The contract of living is generally five or ten years, which is similar to that of a long-term worker. After the expiration, the contract is automatically terminated.

The death deed is not the case. The life and death of a person who sells his body belongs to the master's family. Even if the child is born in the future, he is also a child of the family, an inferior person.

Li Haitang always thought that Mrs. Li took money from Qin Yuanwai, so she was forced to marry. If she really signed a death contract, it would be devoid of conscience!

Outside the car window, the officials were still arguing with Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li insisted that this matter had nothing to do with her, and she would arrest Li Haitang if she could.

"You don't need to worry about this. Qin Yuanwai has already reported to the yamen and made a registration. Now the arrest warrant is posted at the gate of the city. Li Haitang is a fugitive slave of the Qin family."

The official was very impatient and called his brothers, who ignored Mrs. Li's beating and dragged him directly into the yamen.

Death contract, fugitive slave, wanted...

Li Haitang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. During her lifetime, Niang Ruan had talked to the original owner about the capital, and the consequences of being caught as a fugitive slave would be disastrous, the worst being exile in the northwest.

The northwest belongs to the wild area, with yellow sand flying all over the sky, and there is a quarry mountain over there, all of them are exiled prisoners who have committed serious crimes.

If you go to the northwest and never return, it's better to make a decision. You don't have to be humiliated if you get chopped up cleanly!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xiao Lingchuan got into the carriage, with a tall body, sitting beside Li Haitang. He held her little hand, which was cold and covered with cold sweat.

"sorry, I do not know."

No matter how strong a person is, it is inevitable that they will be a little vulnerable when they suffer a fatal blow. Li Haitang really never thought about it, Mrs. Li didn't care about that kind of affection at all, so she rushed to kill her. Father Li Dahe is her own son, and I am also her own granddaughter!

Li Haitang and Xiao Lingchuan apologized, but fortunately they were not married, otherwise, he must have been implicated by her.

"Brother Xiao, what should we do now?"

A cold light flashed in Li Jinhu's eyes, his teeth were biting his lips, and there was a fishy-sweet taste in his mouth. He didn't seem to feel any pain, and he just wanted to hack Li's family to death.

It's because he is too young to be able to do anything. If he reaches the crown and can stand on his own, those top performers are not qualified to sell his sister.
