Having received instructions from Master Qian, Tang Qingshan waited at the entrance of the alley in the west of the city early in the morning. He waited and waited until nightfall, but he still didn't see anyone.

Tang Qingshan felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Master Qian wasn't coming? He was so rich, finding a hundred taels of silver shouldn't be difficult for him!
Could it be that he really abandoned him? Impossible. Back then, he was wandering around town hungry, and it was Master Qian who took him in and gave him odd jobs.
In Tang Qingshan's eyes, Master Qian was like a savior; he wouldn't fail to come, there must have been something that delayed him!
Finally, when it got dark, Master Qian arrived late!
Tang Qingshan almost burst into tears of excitement: "Brother, you've finally come!"
With a wicked grin, Master Qian said, "Brother, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've prepared a five-hundred-tael silver note for you. Give me the other four hundred taels first, and take the round number to that woman!"
Without a second thought, Tang Qingshan handed all the silver notes in his pocket to Master Qian. Master Qian took the notes, examined them carefully, and said, "Yes, they're genuine!"
Then he slowly put the silver notes into his pocket, suddenly pulled out a knife, and said with a fierce look, "Tang Qingshan, how can I sleep peacefully if you don't die? Today I will send you to see the King of Hell!"
After saying that, he stabbed at Tang Qingshan fiercely. Tang Qingshan was caught off guard and the knife was about to pierce his chest.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Qingshan was forcefully pulled aside by someone, but the knife stabbed that person instead.

Tang Qingshan looked closely and saw that it was Erzhuzi. Erzhuzi ignored the pain and started fighting with Master Qian.
Fortunately, Erzhuzi was strong and healthy, and he subdued Master Qian in no time.
Erzhuzi shouted at Tang Qingshan, who was stunned, "Qingshan, are you scared out of your wits? Come and help!"
Tang Qingshan then walked over as if in a daze and helped Erzhuzi tie up the money.
With a mournful face, Master Qian said, "Brother Qingshan, if you ask him to release me, I'll return the money to you. I was just joking with you."
Without saying a word, Erzhuzi threw another punch and said to Tang Qingshan, "Qingshan, you can't be stupid again. Can you trust this kind of person?"
"Qingshan, I was confused for a moment. Have you forgotten how I saved you before? I was the one who gave you a job!" Master Qian continued to ramble on!
Without saying a word, Tang Qingshan directly stuffed the smelly shoe of the wealthy man Qian into his mouth!
Then Tang Qingshan resolutely said, "Brother Zhu, send that Qian guy to the yamen. He was the one who instigated the poisoning of the chickens. I can testify to that myself. Even if the county magistrate has a relationship with him, with irrefutable evidence, he can't escape!"
Zhu Zi, the son, said, "Don't worry, Uncle Yongnian and Sister-in-law Lanzhi are waiting for us!"

"My dad's here too?" Tang Qingshan asked in confusion!
Erzhuzi said, "How could I not come? You probably don't know who Master Qian is. He was coming with me to rescue you tonight, but Sister-in-law Lanzhi stopped him!"
Erzhuzi and Tang Qingshan escorted Master Qian to an inn. Xu Lanzhi had arranged with the owner to open the back door, and since it was night, no one noticed anything unusual!
Upon seeing the frail and elderly Tang Yongnian, Tang Qingshan knelt down with a thud, sobbing uncontrollably, and said, "Father, I was wrong! Master Qian has been using me all along! He almost killed me!"
Tang Yongnian helped Tang Qingshan up and said, "Child, I know that your sister-in-law Lanzhi wants you to pay compensation because she wants you to see the true colors of Master Qian. That's why your brother Zhu has been secretly following you these past two days, afraid that you might be in danger!"
"Then the money you gave me..." Tang Qingshan asked.
Xu Lanzhi helped Tang Yongnian back to his seat and said to Tang Qingshan, "I wanted to use you to test Master Qian about this matter. I didn't tell anyone. This is what I was thinking at the time. If Master Qian really spent five hundred taels to save you, it wouldn't be in vain that you were so loyal to him. I would take the money and settle this matter!"
Who would have thought that Uncle Yongnian would sell everything he owned to save you, earning four hundred taels of silver?
Qingshan, now you know who truly cares about you!
Tang Qingshan was filled with remorse and confessed in detail how he met Master Qian and how Master Qian had instigated him to poison him.

He repeatedly stated that he wanted to personally expose Master Qian, and Tang Yongnian supported him, allowing him to personally atone for his sins!
Erzhuzi took out the four hundred taels that Qian Yuanwai had put in his pocket and handed them all over to Tang Yongnian.
Tang Qingshan then took Qian Yuanwai to the government office to turn himself in. The matter was already a done deal, but the county magistrate only tortured Tang Qingshan, saying that he would put the criminal in jail for trial, and then nothing more was said!
Xu Lanzhi and her daughters repeatedly came to beat the drum to appeal for justice, but the county magistrate always brushed them off. Helpless, Xu Lanzhi led her six daughters to block the entrance of the yamen and refused to leave. The county magistrate had no choice but to bring the criminals to trial.
Tang Qingshan was tortured beyond recognition, but Master Qian acted as if nothing had happened.
The county magistrate asked a few perfunctory questions and then said that Tang Qingshan had confessed to poisoning Tang Qingshan. He was imprisoned and to be executed in the autumn.
They also said there was insufficient evidence to prove that Master Qian was involved in the matter, and that he should be released in court immediately!
Xu Lanzhi knew perfectly well that they were in cahoots, but she was powerless to do anything about it!
Tang Qiqi jumped three feet high in anger, pointing her finger at the county magistrate's nose and cursing: "You corrupt official, how much money did you take from that Qian fellow? You can't distinguish right from wrong, you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
The county magistrate glanced at Tang Qiqi and said, "This brat has disrupted the court and even slandered me. Give him twenty strokes of the cane!"

Xu Lanzhi hugged Tang Qiqi tightly and said, "Sir, the child is still young and doesn't understand. Please be merciful and let her go. I won't sue!"
The magistrate smiled and said, "Woman Xu, are you really not going to sue? Very well, come and sign and put your fingerprint on this document, then give the wealthy man money apologetic and compensate him for his losses!"
"Bullshit! You corrupt official, you think you can use me to blackmail my mother? No way!" Tang Qiqi didn't want this to happen; he was determined to punish that Qian guy!
She had made up her mind. If they were to attack her later, she would hide back in her spatial dimension. Although there was a risk of being exposed, she could still get away with it by making a miraculous transformation and playing a trick. She couldn't let him get away with it so easily!
Tang Qiqi cursed the county magistrate relentlessly, saying everything she could and couldn't say.
The onlookers listened with great interest; they had wanted to say these things for a long time, but who dared to?
The county magistrate was furious and ordered his men to arrest Tang Qiqi and torture her. Tang Qiqi whistled, and Bai Xue leaped down from above the crowd. It protected Tang Qiqi and roared fiercely at the soldiers, scaring them into retreating!
Tang Qiqi simply rode on Bai Xue's back and walked step by step toward the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was terrified. He stammered, "Ignorant child, what are you doing? Attacking an official of the imperial court is a capital offense!"
Tang Qiqi didn't care what he said and rode Bai Xue directly to his side, glaring at him fiercely!
