Dalang and his men took turns to commit fraud.

Otherwise, tea or soup would accidentally spill on Ge Chunyi's injured leg.

Otherwise, they would pay someone to catch rats and snakes and throw them into Ge Chunyi's room at night.

They would also play tricks by pouring water into the silver carbon used by Ge Chunyi.

The next day, I couldn't light the fire in the carriage, otherwise I would choke.

Ge Chunyi asked the people from Lao Xiao's family for coal, but they naturally made all kinds of excuses and refused to give it to him.

So Ge Chunyi could only wrap himself in a quilt and fur cloak and shiver in the carriage.

The weather got colder the further north you went. Even the people in Old Xiao's family were shivering with cold while warming themselves in the brazier, not to mention Ge Chunyi who often couldn't warm himself in the brazier.

My injured leg hurts a lot every day.

I couldn't help but feel regretful. I should have waited until spring before coming to northern Xinjiang.

Fortunately, he brought a doctor with him, who applied medicine to his legs from time to time, otherwise he felt that he would have died on the way to the northern border.

I am also grateful to my sister and brother-in-law for this.

He didn't know that his good brother-in-law was afraid that he would die on the way and would not be able to explain to the emperor and Ge Chunru, so he went to invite the good doctor.

At the same time, Ge Chunyi also hated the people of the Xiao family.

More than twenty days later, the group finally arrived in northern Xinjiang.

Thanks to Xiao Yuanshi's instructions and operations, Xiao Dalang's handover of the position of county magistrate went smoothly.

The county magistrate was very polite to them and arranged for the family to stay in a courtyard behind the county government office.

However, the Xiao family, who have so much money, don't look down on such a small courtyard.

So I spent money to rent a large courtyard with several entrances and exits.

Ge Chunyi took the initiative to suggest living in the courtyard arranged by the county magistrate.

First, he was frightened by the people from the old Xiao family on the way and really didn't want to stay with them any longer, and second, he wanted to gain favor with the county magistrate.

That night, Ge Chunyi asked the servants to pack up and carry the book boxes into the room.

After the servant left, he used his crutch to take out the books from the bookcase and pried open the bottom layer with a dagger.

Prepare to take out some silver bills first and establish connections in the county government.

But I didn't expect that after opening it, I found that there was nothing inside.

His expression changed and he immediately opened a few more.

Similarly, he saw with his own eyes that the silver bills, gold, silver and jade ornaments his sister had put in had disappeared.

He recalled that his sister had someone bring the book box to him that evening, put it in the box herself in front of him, and taught him how to take it out.

Then it remained in his room without being moved, and was loaded onto the carriage early the next morning.

So it is impossible that it was lost in the General’s Mansion.

I remembered that my sister specifically told me not to let anyone in the Xiao family know.

Ge Chunyi roughly guessed that the money in the book box must have been discovered and stolen by someone from the Xiao family.

After all, after they set out on the journey, the other party secretly rummaged through his bag and even touched his cotton-padded jacket to see if there was any silver or money hidden in it.

Ge Chunyi was so angry, that was thirty thousand taels.

So he couldn't help it and took the servant to the yard rented by Lao Xiao's family that night.

At this moment, the people in Old Xiao's family were eating boiled mutton. After they had money, they became more relaxed in their food, drink and clothing.

Seeing Ge Chunyi come in, the old lady looked at him coldly.

"What are you doing here?"

Ge Chunyi asked solemnly, "Did you steal the money in my bookcase?"

The old lady pretended to be surprised, "What silver?"

Ge Chunyi had been with Xiao Yuanshi for quite some time and had learned how to judge people.

So he found that although the old lady seemed surprised, she was actually not shocked at all, and he concluded that the other party had stolen the silver.

"That's the money my brother-in-law prepared for me to use as a bribe. You'd better hand it over."

He looked at Xiao Dalang meaningfully and continued, "Otherwise, your brother-in-law may not take care of you in the future."

"What silver? We didn't see it."

"You said we took it, show us the evidence!"

The old lady said, "There is no evidence, you are just throwing mud. Tomorrow we will go to the county magistrate to sue you."

Ge Chunyi persisted, "You don't admit it, but I'm sure it was you who took it."

He said irritably, "Hand it over quickly."

Without that money, how could he manage his activities in the northern border? He also planned to prepare some generous gifts in a few days to give to his brother-in-law's friends in the army.

On the way to Northern Xinjiang, the people from Old Xiao's family ate and stayed separately from him.

He had already spent dozens of the three hundred taels of silver he had, so there was no way he would have enough left for gifts.

When the old lady saw him like this, she hated him so much.

Who does this little bastard think he is? Even if the Xiao family’s money is lost, it won’t be given to him at all.

She waved her hands and said, "Da Lang, send this little bastard out. I feel upset just looking at him."

Ge Chunyi was so angry when he heard the old lady constantly calling him "little bastard".

"Don't go too far. Don't think you can be so arrogant just because your brother-in-law is not around."

"I will write to tell him how you treated me along the way."

Xiao Dalang hated the Ge siblings because of the disease he was infected with and because Ge Chunyi took up so many resources.

Hearing this, he sneered, "Go ahead and write it quickly."

"Do you think this is still the general's mansion and you can be so arrogant?"

Then he reached out and grabbed Ge Chunyi's neck and dragged him out.

Xiao Erlang and others also stood up.

Soon, screams of Ge Chunyi being beaten were heard outside.

He brought a servant to help, but there were many men in the Xiao family. The old lady also listened to Shi Qingluo's advice and asked Xiao Yuanshi for several personal soldiers who were skilled in martial arts to protect her before leaving.

So the two sides fought, and Ge Chunyi was completely defeated.

After being beaten, he was thrown out of the yard.

After being carried back to the yard by the servant, he immediately wrote a letter to Ge Chunru to complain and had someone send it to the post station and then send it back to the capital.

Who knew that the letter was intercepted as soon as it arrived at the post station.

The people who did such things were naturally Xiao Yuanshi's men.

The few servants around Ge Chunyi were apparently found by Ge Chunru for his younger brother, but two of them were Xiao Yuanshi's men.

Then this letter, together with what happened along the way and in the northern border, was sent back to the capital. This time the recipient was changed from Ge Chunru to Xiao Yuanshi.

Xiao Dalang went to take up his post the next day. Since he had money and was generous, he soon mixed with the people in the county government.

Ge Chunyi was so frustrated that he was going crazy.

He felt that this should have been his, and it was shameless of Xiao Dalang to use his money to build good relationships.

But because he had been beaten twice and continued to be bullied frequently, he learned his lesson and stopped mocking Xiao Dalang.

Every day he looked forward to his letters being sent back to the capital as soon as possible, as his sister asked his brother-in-law to deal with the people in the Xiao family.

But before Xiao Yuanshi could stand up for him, Xiao Dalang listened to the instigation of his personal guards.

He colluded with the son of a merchant in the county town, and that man came to report that he had lost some silver and money.

Finally, Xiao Dalang took people to Ge Chunyi's yard and searched it out.

Xiao Dalang took the opportunity to bribe the county magistrate, convicted Ge Chunyi, and sent him to the northern border where exiles were located to mine.

It was no use for Ge Chunyi to not make a scene, as he was forcibly taken away by the yamen runners.

I spent every day in agony and on the verge of complete collapse, and suffered a lot.

Ge Chunru in the capital city knew nothing about this and was trying to find ways to raise more dowry for her sister.
