After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 105 Chapter 105

Gu Xiaoci's words made Kong San a little annoyed, there is no reason to take out these mortgaged things when they enter the gambling house, this is an unwritten rule.

It is normal for someone who can open a gambling shop on one side of the land without a background network to run amok.

"Do you understand the rules? If I let you take a step, you still have to make an inch?" Kong San looked at Gu Xiaoci fiercely, with disdain on his face.

Gu Xiaoci was so frightened that he shuddered, and hid behind Gu LaoNiang.

Old lady Gu is also afraid, but she loves those house deeds and land deeds even more, and she dare not face Kong San, so she can only approach Qi Moxuan, "Well, in-laws, for Xiao En's sake, you must help us , without the shop and fields, how can our family live..."

Qi Qi frowned, couldn't help it anymore, and said coldly, "How do you live? You can live by eating bran and swallowing vegetables. If you want to blame it, blame your son. If you don't learn from a good example, you just go to gamble. If you lose out of ten bets, you will lose your fortune." Sooner or later."

"Qi Niang." Qi Qi said, but Gu LaoNiang thought of her again, and instantly regained confidence, "Don't you have money, help Xiaoci pay off the debt, what are you waiting for? Redeem all the house deeds and land deeds."

Qi Qi pouted, "How can I have any money? You keep talking nonsense."

"Why not? Didn't you get a reward from a nobleman?" Mrs. Gu was very clear-headed at the moment.

Qi Qi grinned, "I donated those rewards at the time of the flood, and they are gone."

"Donated? Donated! Qi Niang, are you crazy? Impossible, impossible, did you say that on purpose because you didn't want to repay Xiaoci's debt?" Mrs. Gu felt pain in her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. With a look of disbelief in his heart.

"Why should I lie to you, even if I have money, I have no obligation to repay your stupid son's debt, you really think too much." Qi Qi replied coldly, and then ignored the ferocious mother and son, only said to Kong San , "2000 taels, they definitely won't be able to get it out, there is actually nothing to talk about, Gu Xiaoci has already been squeezed dry by you, if you still refuse to give up..."

"Little Qi." Qi Moxuan frowned slightly, stood up and wanted to stop Qi Qi, and didn't want her to come forward to take matters into his own hands.

Qi Qi smiled at him, "Third brother, don't worry, just listen to me."

"We won't stop, what do you want?" A group of people came in at the door, it was Wang Ba, the boss of the casino.

"Brother." As soon as Kong San saw the person coming, he immediately stepped forward, like a dog.

Qi Qi and the others also looked at the door. This man was tall and tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"I'm a little girl, I don't have the power to restrain a chicken, so what can I do. I just feel that since you guys don't want to give up, they will really pay back the debt..." Qi Qi said in a flat tone without any timidity towards the visitor , "Then go to the Qingshan County Yamen and let the magistrate preside over justice."

In a word, everyone was a little confused.

Report this kind of matter to the county government, and neither side can get anything good. Of course, the gamblers are at fault, and the gamblers themselves are not good. If the county magistrate comes to judge, it is about [-] boards each. It is a custom to settle in private.

But Qi Qi didn't have any worries, she didn't really want to help Gu Xiaoci get ahead, she just wanted to make a quick cut to get rid of the mess, so as not to drag the child in Lu Liu's stomach, and to protect Gu Xiaoci's life by then would be her daily act of kindness .

Wang Ba looked at her curiously, and said with disdain in his tone, "Do you think that we are afraid of the government when we do this business? Gu Xiaoci owes a debt, which was charged in black and white. Even if we go to court, we will take it for granted. It doesn’t matter who suffers.”

Hearing this, Qi Qi said innocently, "I didn't say that you are domineering and disregarding the law, so naturally you don't need to be afraid of the government.

I just think that if the two sides are in dispute and it is difficult to coordinate, you can ask the county magistrate to help make a decision.The county magistrate is just and strict, and I believe his judgment will satisfy everyone.How about we just take a trip? "

Qi Moxuan listened to his younger sister's words, and unconsciously showed a doting smile, he was really a cunning character.

Hearing what my sister said, it was indeed a good idea, so I chimed in, "My little sister is right, and I also think it's more convenient for everyone to take this trip."

"No, no, I won't go." Gu Xiaoci was scared out of his wits, shivering in a corner.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him except Mrs. Gu.

"Oh, to bother the county magistrate for such a trivial matter, isn't it a bit of a big deal." Li was trying to smooth things over.

"I don't want to rush this trip either. It's just that there is a wronged person and a debtor. Whoever owes the debt, you can go to whomever. It's his life to kill and maim. But what about you?" Qi Qi looked at him sharply. Kong San, who just touched Lu Liu and spoke rudely to her, "Where is your conscience when you do something to a pregnant woman with a big belly? How is it different from a beast?"

This is what Qi Qi cannot tolerate the most. Didn't women have human rights in ancient times?

Oh, it is true.

In the history that Qi Qi knows, there is the most famous wife pawn system, where husbands can buy and sell their wives on "rental" to give birth to children for others!
Incidents of gamblers selling their wives to repay their debts are common in history.

"Hanshu·Jia Tuanzhi Biography" also records that marrying a wife and selling children cannot be prohibited by the law, nor can righteousness be stopped.

However, although there are express provisions in Da Pei's law, if money is used to buy and sell divorces, and those who marry wives, the original husband, the original wife, and the buyer of the divorce, each have a hundred sticks.

But in many folk areas, this kind of situation is not uncommon. It has a name called "marrying and selling raw wives".

This is not human trafficking, but it is carried out after the approval of both the buyer and the seller when the woman has a husband, and there is an intermediary as evidence.

Ask the woman if she wants to?does it matterNobody cares at all.

Here I have to mention one more thing, the importance of a woman's natal family, if the woman's natal family is strong, the man would not dare to act recklessly like that.

The government is not ignorant of this, but most of them ignore it, and they don't even list it as "vicious customs in the county" and other local vices.

Unless someone comes forward to sue, but by then, it will be too late, the damage has already been done, and the innocent woman will suffer the most.

Lu Liu stood alone in the corner, holding her stomach and looking at the scene in front of her with a gloomy face. She was already very disappointed with Gu Xiaoci. Just now this man pushed herself out to pay off the debt, but she was still pregnant with his child, man So far, what is there to be nostalgic about, when she heard Qi Qi's words, she was both aggrieved and happy, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Kong San couldn't help defending himself, "That's because he voluntarily sold his wife to pay off the debt, I didn't force him."

"Why don't you go and tell the county magistrate what you said?" Qi Qi's eyes were cold and his tone was cold.
