Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 23 The Past of Boss Qiu

It has been seven or eight days since Tongji Hall was seized. Except that the order to close the city is still in effect and has not been revoked, Jiapingguan City has returned to its former calm, and the daily life of the people seems to have not been affected.Things are making a big fuss, but people's attention has long since stopped. They are all busy preparing for the new year. Those who buy new year's goods buy new year's goods, those who tailor new clothes make new clothes, and those who clean the house clean the house. It's fun, as if Tongjitang has never appeared in Jiaping Guancheng.

But for Shen Jiajun, Zhen Guogong Mansion, Wu Ding Hou Mansion, and even Daxia's court, this matter is far from over.

Except for Ah Buhan's two lieutenants, the boss of Tongjitang, and the leader of the medicinal convoy, the other arrested people have been interrogated two or three times. Not so much, just said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and some people looked like hard bones. They shut up during the first round of interrogation, but in the second and third rounds, they were really burdened. Couldn't hold it anymore, out of instinctive confession, he obediently told everything he knew.

But, these are small pawns after all, they do what the boss tells them to do, and they themselves are at a loss as to why they do it.

After reading the confessions of those people over and over several times, Shen Cha sighed, and threw the stack of papers in her hand aside. In her opinion, these were all waste papers, with no valuable information in them, and they were completely wasted. time.

"Don't worry, it's really not easy to hear something useful from these people. They are all on duty, so what secrets can they know! Let me tell you, if you want to find a breakthrough, you have to ask Ask the boss of Tongjitang. Speaking of it... Judging from the appearance of that boss, he should be from our Great Xia, not at all like a person from the Kingdom of Jin."

Xue Ruitian, who took part in the interrogation under the pretext of actually coming to see Shen Cha, wore a thick cotton coat, a cotton robe, and a woolen cape, and sat like a little bear at the place closest to the charcoal basin in the torture room. I still feel cold. If I didn't take care of my image, I really want to wrap myself in another quilt.

"I checked his household registration. His ancestral home is Zhending Mansion, and he is from Daxia."

Shen Cha took a look at Xue Ruitian, and passed her hand stove over. Every winter, she sighed. She has never seen a man who is more afraid of the cold than a girl. If there is a ranking list that is afraid of the cold, Xue Ruitian must be the one number one.Sighing, Shen Cha nodded towards Ying Wu who was waiting at the side, and signaled him to invite the boss of Tongjitang over. Since he is a compatriot, there is no need to be tense. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it, and if there is anything you can't solve The problem, we help to solve.

"Since we are Daxia people, things are not that simple."

Shen Haolin sat on the stone bench with a big horse and a golden sword, with a cold face, holding the airs of his marshal, at first glance, he was quite bluffing.

"Of course it's not easy. The crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy will implicate the nine clans. Hey, I have another question. This Tongjitang is an old shop in our Jiapingguan City, and Boss Qiu also lives here. For many years, I have never heard of him having any family members. His neighbors say that this man is always alone."

Xue Ruitian held the hand stove of Shencha, it was so beautiful, his whole body was like a blooming flower, he couldn't hold it back even if he wanted to.

"Master Hou, wipe off your saliva, and then dirty the general's hand stove!"

Standing aside, Hongye kept rolling her eyes, thinking silently whether she could take the initiative to kick this careless boss, she was worried that if she continued to follow this guy, she might become stupid too.

"What Xiaotian said is right, write it down, and ask him later." Shen Haolin took the hand stove that Mei Zhu handed over, turned his head and stuffed it to Shen Cha, "Also, how old is Boss Qiu?"

"The household registration shows that I am 57 years old, the same year as my master." Shen Cha turned around, looked at Xue Ruitian, and smiled, "Brother Xiaotian, do you know that my master is coming back for the New Year?"

"I know." Xue Ruitian immediately hung his head like a frost-beaten eggplant, and said weakly, "The New Year's gift has been prepared, I don't know if it is in line with the wish of the deputy commander-in-chief. However, Haolin and I have the same opinion. The real purpose of the Deputy Marshal coming back this time is to clean up the two of us, and we are both ready."

"Great!" Hong Ye clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Finally someone wants to fix you!" She looked at Shen Cha, "General, is there any help for Deputy Commander Qin? Let me do it, make sure that Deputy Commander Qin is here." Very satisfied!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Xue Ruitian kicked in the direction of Hongye, and said helplessly, "Are you so happy to see me being beaten? You are my guard, and you have to stand by me at critical moments." On this side, why do you think about it all day, how to unite with others to beat me?"

"Probably you deserve a beating!" Hong Ye avoided Xue Ruitian's second kick, rubbed against Shen Cha, covered her mouth and smiled non-stop at Xue Ruitian.

Xue Ruitian felt that if this went on like this, he would vomit blood from Hongye Qi. For the sake of his own body, it was better to calm down and not be as knowledgeable as this kind of person.

When Boss Qiu of Tongji Hall was brought into the torture room by Ying Wu, he felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit oppressive. When he raised his head, he saw all the big shots in Jiaping Guancheng sitting in it. She froze for a moment, before Shen Cha could speak, Putong fell to his knees and kowtowed three times to several people.

"Hey, Boss Qiu, what are you doing? You are much older than us, and you are our elder. How can you give us such a big gift? We can't bear it. This is to shorten our life! "

Several people were confused by this, Xue Ruitian was the first to react, and quickly asked Yingwu and Hongye to help them up, and pulled a stool by the way for Boss Qiu to sit down.

"Xiaomin would like to thank all the adults for saving Xiaomin!" Boss Qiu sighed heavily, "Xiaomin knows what the adults want to ask, please feel free to ask, Xiaomin will know everything and say everything! "

"Boss Qiu is a straightforward person. If this is the case, let's not go around the bush." ​​Shen Cha was very satisfied with Boss Qiu's attitude. Seeing that Ying Wu and Mei Zhu were ready to record, he asked softly, "The first One question, Boss Qiu is from Zhending Mansion, why is he involved with the Jin people? Could it be... your household registration is fake?"

"If you go back to the general, Xiaomin is indeed from Zhending Prefecture, and he didn't tamper with his household registration. When Xiaomin was young, he was an apprentice in the largest medicine store in the Kingdom of Jin. The original plan was to come back after the apprenticeship expired. I opened a medicine shop, but by chance, I saved the only daughter of the owner who was bullied by Ah Buhan's men, and she later became my wife."

"That is to say, you inherited your Yue family's medicine business?" Xue Ruitian stroked his chin, and looked at Boss Qiu curiously, "Then you should be in the Kingdom of Jin? Why did you return to Daxia?"

"We came back in the second year after we got married. First, we lived in Zhending Mansion for more than ten years, and then we came to Jiaping Guancheng." Boss Qiu took a deep breath, "My father-in-law is a reasonable person, and he is also a step-by-step man. He thought that when Xia and Jin were at war, the common people had to be hostile, so he didn't have any prejudice against me, and instead taught me all his skills. He knew that my heart was attached to the motherland, so he offered to let my wife follow me. I came back together. And, knowing that my wish was to open my own pharmacy, he introduced me to the merchants who have been supplying him."

"You also opened a medicine store in Zhending Mansion?"

"No." Boss Qiu shook his head, "In Zhending Mansion, there are many medical clinics and medicine stores, unlike the lack of border gates. Therefore, even if I am a local, it is very difficult to gain a foothold in the local medicine stores. Besides, my family also has business to take care of, oh, my family runs a dim sum shop, so the skills I learned from my father-in-law can come in handy. The voices at home are also busy, so the business of prescribing medicine is temporarily put on hold. Waiting for delivery Let go of my parents, close the dim sum shop, and only when we came to Jiaping Guancheng did we really open the medicine shop."

Shen Cha looked at Ying Wu and saw him nodding towards him, saying that what Boss Qiu said happened during the time in Zhending Mansion was consistent with their investigation, and there was no problem.

"And what about your wife?"

"He has passed away." Boss Qiu's mood suddenly became very depressed. "It was the second year when we opened a medicine store in Guancheng, Jiaping. After returning from the Kingdom of Jin, apart from a few letters a year, I occasionally went back to look at it. In addition, I basically don't know much about the situation of my father-in-law's family. My father-in-law is the kind of person who only reports good news but not bad news. Every time he writes, he tells us to live our lives well and not worry about him. Besides, let's go see him Old man, he showed us a good side, so we don't even know what happened to him in Jin Guo."

"Is it related to Ah Buhan?"

"The general is wise, and indeed it has something to do with Ah Buhan." When referring to the former Generalissimo of the Kingdom of Jin, Boss Qiu's face showed resentment, which seemed to be the kind of deep-rooted grudge. "Abuhan's subordinates once molested my wife. Because I beat her away, they held a grudge and were always looking for opportunities to retaliate. Ahbuhan is a person who cares about face. Just go to war, but he holds a grudge very much, once he is targeted, no matter how long it takes, the grudge will not escape."

"That's right, that's right, that's right, Ah Buhan is such a bastard, let me tell you." Xue Ruitian repeatedly agreed, "I have a deep understanding. I fought against him once on the battlefield a few years ago. , I accidentally left a hole in his chest. As a result, this guy has always remembered this. Last year, we fought again. The grandson took advantage of my unpreparedness, He also left an eye on me in the same position. After the piercing was over, the bastard still told me with a shy face, Deputy Commander Xue, we both settled. I was so angry that the blood almost didn’t squirt On his face, I thought about it at the time, the young master's ability to hold grudges is not small, when the young master slows down, if you don't see him killing you, this time it's not a matter of a hole, the young master will chop you off for dinner But who would have thought that Ah Buhan committed suicide by himself and was picked by Wan Yanping, so the young master would not be able to avenge his revenge. Thinking about it now, it is quite a pity." Xue Ruitian looked at Boss Qiu and blinked. Blinking eyes, "Listening to what you said just now, I suddenly remembered something. There was a rumor that all the medicinal materials supplied to the Jin army by a medicine store in the Kingdom of Jin were all fake. Wanyan Zongcheng was furious because of this, and Generalissimo Ah Han will kill all the people involved in the case. Boss Qiu..." Xue Ruitian stood up, walked in front of Boss Qiu, and bent slightly, "The boss of the medicine shop involved in the case is your father-in-law, right?"

Hearing Xue Ruitian's question, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's eyes were all focused on Boss Qiu's face.

"Yes, it's Xiaomin's father-in-law. Ah Buhan's hands and eyes are as good as the sky, and he said one thing. He framed my father-in-law with despicable means and ransacked the pharmacy. The 87 people in the pharmacy, including my father-in-law, all collapsed in Abuhan. No one was spared under the heavy butcher's knife. When we received the news, it was already half a year after the incident, and my wife couldn't stand the blow and left in less than a month." Boss Qiu stared fiercely ahead, Both hands clenched tightly into fists, "At that time, I decided that no matter how difficult it is, I must seek revenge from Ah Buhan." Boss Qiu showed a smirk on his face, "God will still stand on the side of justice." , so, I succeeded!"

　Working overtime is going to kill me~~~~
