Datang Coroner

Chapter 1165 Don't Misunderstand
After Kou Qian said this, he added a special sentence: "Don't look at my name as Kou Qian, but I have never withheld their wages!"

When he said this, he obviously looked aggrieved.

Fu Shiyi and Li Changbo exchanged a look.

Li Changbo cleared his throat, and then asked, "Why do you say that?"

Kou Qian was even more aggrieved, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was crying: "Because of this name, many people say that I deduct labor wages and refuse to pay! Every time I go to hire a buddy, I will be suspected!"

He shed tears of bitterness about this, and seeing the cross-examination turned into a meeting of complaints: "Heaven and earth conscience! Although my shop business is mediocre, I also know that these coolies are all supported by the head of the family. How dare they Money in arrears? If I can't survive and die, am I missing a great virtue?"

"I have listened to my father's teaching since I was a child, you can't be too wicked in business! If you are wicked, you will definitely have no luck in wealth! It's also my father's fault, why did you fall into the eyes of money, and gave me such a name——"

Fu Shiyi's scalp was numb from the crying of a big fat man, and in the end he could only bite the bullet and comfort him: "Actually, it's not the fault of the name, it's mainly the matter of the surname—"

Kou Qian froze, and then the depression on his face became more intense...

Li Changbo coughed, and quickly stopped him: "Actually, as long as you behave properly and sit properly, you won't be afraid of these things. If you really didn't deduct wages, then the case will be investigated later, and the truth will naturally come to light. At that time, everyone will know that it is true." What's going on?"

It was his consolation that gave Kou Qian hope. It was obvious to the naked eye that Kou Qian's condition has improved a lot.

Fu Shiyi felt aggrieved: What I said was the truth...

Li Changbo squinted at Fu Shiyi, hinting with his eyes: Stop talking!

"Then when was the last time you saw the lame third child?" Li Changbo returned to the case.

Kou Qian didn't hesitate to think about this question: "Just a few days after paying the bill, I saw him wandering on the street! Maybe I still want to find a job. But I really don't need him here. It’s not easy to speak.”

"After that, I haven't seen it again."

Li Changbo nodded slightly, and then asked Kou Qian: "Then where were you last night? What did you do?"

Kou Qian didn't hesitate at all, and answered directly: "Last night, I was at home all the time. These days my son came home from the academy, and I stayed at home. I also drank some wine last night, so I'm still here today." Getting up late."

"Who can testify for you?" Although Li Changbo felt that Kou Qian's words did not seem to be lying, he still had to ask one more question.

Kou Qian counted with his fingers: "My servant has a family of four, and my wife, my daughter, and my son—"

Fu Shiyi was dumbfounded: This is quite a thriving population.

However, no matter what Kou Qian asked, he answered everything fluently, without any hesitation, and it really didn't seem like he was lying.

Now, the case has reached a stalemate again: if it is not related to Kou Qian, how can we find out the truth about the death of the lame third child?
Kou Qian asked cautiously, "Is the lame third really dead?"

Li Changbo said "Yes" and said, "You can go and have a look and identify the corpse."

So Fu Shiyi took Kou Qian to the autopsy room.

The deceased was indeed the lame third child.

Kou Qian was obviously timid, his face turned pale with fright when he saw the corpse, and he muttered, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost so much weight?"

Fu Shiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and naturally asked: "Then he wasn't so thin before?"

Kou Qian shook his head: "No. It's all skinny. It wasn't so thin before. After all, we have to take care of the food. Every meal still has a piece of fat pork—"

Fu Shiyi suddenly looked at Kou Qian differently: As the boss, Kou Qian can be regarded as a real conscience!

After all, these days, in fact, many servants are just full of food.As for the content of eating, most of them are vegetarian dishes and miscellaneous grains.Eating meat is a festival thing.

Kou Qian can give workers a piece of fatty pork a day, not to mention whether it is delicious or not, there must be oil and water.

Fu Shiyi said sincerely: "The shopkeeper Kou is a charitable person."

Kou Qian said proudly: "That is, this is the rule handed down from our old Kou family! Only when they are full and have fat in their stomachs can they work hard for us! And be kind to them, and they are also careful about our cloth!"

All in all, it's a matter of mutual benefit.

Giving Kou Qian a thumbs up when he paid ten: "You are kind."

When Kou Qian came out of the autopsy room, his legs gradually became softer, his face became paler, and he regained his senses.He said dumbfounded: "The lame youngest is the pillar of the family, if he dies now, what will his family do?"

Fu Shiyi also nodded: "I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future. Maybe I have to sell my daughter—"

Whether it is to marry early or sell to be a maid, it is not the best way out.

Kou Qian hesitated for a moment: "Well, I'll go back and see if there are any unworn clothes and scraps of cloth at home. If there are any, when they come to collect the corpse, the yamen will pass it on for them."

Fu Shiyi looked at Kou Qian with admiration: "You are so kind."

"Think of it as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. After all, you are someone you know." Kou Qian sighed, "Otherwise, I won't feel at ease if I go back to eating meat!"

That said, Fu Shiyi almost wanted to laugh.After looking at Kou Qian's body shape, she decided to kindly remind her: "Being too fat is not a good thing. It's better to eat less fat meat and more lean meat, and try to exercise and sweat as much as possible. After all, I'm an artist, trust me !"

Kou Qian looked at Fu Shiyi in surprise: ...

The back view of walking out at the end is a bit vicissitudes.

Fu Shi went back and told Li Changbo what Kou Qian said.

Li Changbo was still a little surprised: "This time, it really doesn't apply to people living up to their name."

Fu Shiyi also nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, most of the people we met in the past were people who lived up to their names, but this time, it was actually such a person!"

But Li Changbo still took a look at Wang Erxiang, and then asked Wang Erxiang to inquire about Kou Qian's personality.

Wang Erxiang didn't move at all, he just waved his hand triumphantly: "I've inquired about it a long time ago."

Fu Shiyi was full of admiration: as expected of Chang'an Baguaxiang!
Li Changbo also looked at Wang Erxiang more.

Wang Erxiang immediately stood firm, and eloquently said: "Kou Qian's reputation is very good around. His workers also said that he is very good. Basically, he works for a long time. However, the business of his shop is not special. Well, that means we can get by."

"He has a daughter and a son. The daughter is about to kiss her. I heard that she looks pretty. His son is also said to be very smart, and he has been sent to study—"

Fu Shiyi felt that if he continued talking, he was going to talk about Kou Qian's parents, so he immediately said, "You don't listen to the lame third, why do you ask Kou Qian so much?"

　Hahaha, isn't it a surprise this time~
