These two men are the brothers Lei Ming and Lei Bao.
The people were afraid of officials. Although they traveled all over the country, they still took detours when they saw officials and tried not to offend them if possible.
Seeing Boss Wei being taken away by the yamen runners, they were helpless and could only run to tell Tang Li the news.
When Tang Li heard the news, his face changed instantly and his mind was in a mess.
Wei Qing was taken away by the yamen runners?
What is going on?
Lei Ming and Lei Bao looked at Tang Li's frightened expression and thought it was understandable.
"Sister-in-law, Mr. Xie is not here these days. When he comes back, we will ask him for help. Don't worry." Lei Bao said.
He looked ferocious, but at this moment he tried to speak in the gentlest tone, for fear of scaring his poor sister-in-law. He looked very funny.
Tang Li, who was full of panic, did not notice his funny look.
She has always been calm, but she was completely panicked when she encountered Wei Qing. For a while, her mind was completely blank.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself sitting on a chair in the room. The two brothers had left. Erbao and Sanbao were lying on her legs, tilting their little heads and looking at her with worry on their faces.
Tang Li forced a smile and patted the two children's heads.
"Mom is fine."
"Madam, please eat something." Aunt Zhao stood at the door holding a bowl, her face full of worry.
Tangli didn't have much appetite, but under the worried eyes of the two children, he nodded.
"Aunt Zhao, take the two children to eat." Tang Li ordered.
Aunt Zhao left with her two children.
What should have been a warm dinner turned out to be very unpleasant because of this incident.
Calm down.
She didn't dream of anything bad last night, which meant that Wei Qing would not encounter any serious danger.
Tangli calmed down and thought quickly.
The most urgent thing is to find out what happened so that we can come up with a solution.
It was too late today and she couldn't get anything done. Early tomorrow morning, she would go to the county to see what was going on.
Tangli was sitting in the bedroom when he saw two heads sticking inside.
"Erbao, Sanbao, come in."
Two children came in, walked to Tangli's side, and each of them held one of their mother's hands.
"Mom, will Daddy be okay?"
There was fear in the eyes of the two children.
Tang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Daddy is very capable, he will be fine."
The mother and her two children talked for a while. Aunt Zhao saw that Tangli was not in good condition, so she took the initiative to take the two children to wash up.
Tangli lay in bed, unable to sleep all night.
The next morning, Tangli got up early, dressed and washed.
Aunt Zhao got up even earlier and had already prepared breakfast for Tangli.
Tang Li didn't have much of an appetite, but seeing her sincerity, he drank a bowl of porridge.
"Aunt Zhao, take care of Erbao and Sanbao. I'm going to Hedong County."
"Don't worry, ma'am, the house is in my hands, so you should be careful."
Tangli nodded and went out.
Aunt Zhao saw her to the door, watched her back as she walked away, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.
I pray to God that nothing will happen to this family.
She has been in the Wei family for so long, and the two masters have never treated her as a servant. They are all good people.
Good people should be rewarded.
Tangli hired a carriage and went to the county.
Two hours later, Tangli arrived at Hedong County and asked for directions all the way to the county government office.
Tang Li arrived at the gate of the county government office and saw a big drum at the door and two yamen runners guarding the gate.
Tangli walked to the door.
"Two big brothers, I want to ask you something." Tang Li said with a smile on his face.
The two yamen runners glanced at Tang Li, then turned their heads away and ignored her completely.
Tang Li didn't know much about the ancient yamen, but he had heard the saying, "The yamen is open, but if you have a reason but no money, don't come in." So he took out two taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the two yamen runners.
"My two brothers, thank you for your hard work. Use this little money to buy some wine."
The two yamen runners put the money away and finally looked Tang Li in the eye.
"What did you just say? It was so windy that I couldn't hear clearly."
"My husband, Wei Qing, was arrested for some reason. Can you help me find out what he did wrong? Where is he now?"
"I see. I'll tell you when I have news."
When Tang Li heard this, she knew it was an excuse. This government office was like a cage, and she was just running around like that. She had to think of a way out.
"sister in law!"
Tang Li suddenly heard a shout, turned around, and saw the two brothers Lei Ming and Lei Bao.
"Sister-in-law, come here." Lei Bao waved.
The two men looked ferocious and most people would stay away from them, but Tang Li felt the kindness emanating from them and walked towards them.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to inquire about Boss Wei?" Lei Bao asked.
Lei Bao was somewhat impressed by her.
Boss Wei's wife looked like a delicate and docile young lady. He had originally thought that such a young lady would be terrified and in tears at home after encountering such a misfortune. What he didn't expect was that he would actually see this young sister-in-law at the gate of the government office early in the morning.
"Sister-in-law, you won't find out the truth this way. The gatekeeper will only take your money and has no power, so he can't do anything. There was an old man whose son was imprisoned. He kept spending money to make arrangements and even sold all the land at home. He spent forty or fifty taels of silver, but in the end he got nothing out of it. He lost both his money and his life. It was all a waste." Lei Ming said.
Aren’t you trying to scare my sister-in-law by saying this?
Lei Bao was speechless about his brother's stubbornness. He glared at Lei Ming, and Lei Ming finally shut up.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to him. That old man just didn't find the right person! It's no use looking for this gatekeeper. You need to find someone you know," Lei Bao said. "We have someone we know in the county office. Let's talk to him later. Before he became a gatekeeper, he was a trader with us. He has a strong relationship with us."
Tang Li nodded. She was indeed too impatient.
She also knew people in Yaoshui Town, including her two brothers and Madam Mu. She could actually ask them first instead of coming to the county government office.
Lei Bao originally wanted to sit in a tavern, but when he saw his sister-in-law, he changed his mind and went to a teahouse.
The three of them chose a teahouse and sat down.
Tang Li looked at the two brothers and asked, "Are you here for my husband?"
"Something happened to Boss Wei, and the brothers are very worried. We two know each other in the county government, so we came to take a look. Sister-in-law, it's okay, we will definitely bring the boss back safely." Lei Bao said in a hoarse voice.
Tangli felt warm in his heart.
She was usually busy with her own affairs and was not familiar with Wei Qing's brothers.
After Wei Qing got into trouble, his brothers came to the county government office early in the morning to inquire about him, which shows how much they care about him.
"Thank you." Tang Li said from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you thanking me for? We are all brothers. Boss Wei is always very loyal to us!" Lei Ming said.
The two brothers also encountered difficulties. Take Lei Ming for example. One time, when he was drinking with Boss Wei, he encountered an enemy. The enemy was aggressive, but Boss Wei was not afraid at all. He worked with Lei Ming to deal with the enemy and even blocked a knife for him.
When they made friends, they valued loyalty and righteousness the most. Boss Wei was a loyal person, and they got along well with him. If Boss Wei got into trouble, they would definitely stick by him.
