The eldest daughter is not easy to bully

Chapter 39 The Reason
In the interrogation room, there is a desk and two chairs.

Ling Qing and Martin sat opposite each other across a desk, Wei Qiu stood by

"Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt you?" Martin didn't understand Ling Qing's sudden unguardedness.

"Don't be deceived by my appearance." Ling Qing waved his small fist: "This fist is not as weak as you see."

Martin smiled and thought, isn't it just like half a white steamed bun, small and cottony.

Ling Qing didn't mind his indifference, and just said: "During the day, I asked you why you came to the Ling's house to make trouble, and you had some concerns. Now I will ask you again, why did you come to the Ling's house to make trouble?"

"The little one has no worries, but she is rushing to defend Jiang Qing's status as the wife of the city lord, fighting against injustice." Martin said cautiously: "The wife of the city lord manages the Ling family so well and contributes so much to our common people. She has been wronged. Naturally, I want to stand up for her."

"Then what contribution did Ling Han and Ling Zhao make?"

"With the support of the city lord's wife, no matter what her daughter and son are, they should be the future heirs of the Ling family."

Ling Qing frowned, and continued to smell: "Do you know the ten people who committed suicide by biting poison?"

Martin nodded: "Yes, it's because they encouraged me to come to Ling Mansion to make trouble."

"How to encourage?"

"It's just that I refuted you during the day and said all the dissatisfaction they said in my ear over and over again. At that time, when I got angry, I read it all out."

Martin added: "Exactly."

Ling Qing was suspicious: "Didn't you realize that there would be consequences for saying these words in front of me?"

"know."

"Then you still say."

Martin bowed his head and fell silent.

But there was a sound in my ear, the wailing of the townspeople who were being served by wooden boards.

He would honestly admit that he was encouraged, but only out of remorse.

Regret that I actually listened to others' instigation and became the leader of this incident.And the person who instigated him was also the person who bullied him.

Ling Qing was not in a hurry to ask, but said to Wei Qiu: "Wei Qiu, go and get some food."

When Martin heard that there was something to eat, he immediately looked up.

Because he was hungry, in order to trouble the Ling family, he ate five buns in the morning, and he hasn't eaten anything until now.His stomach protested so long ago that his head was dizzy and his eyes were blurred.

While waiting for Wei Qiu to deliver the food, Ling Qing didn't ask Martin any more, but made tea with the only tea making tool on the table.

When I opened the tea room, I found that there were tea bags inside, which meant that it was honey lemon tea.

As soon as the aroma of tea came out, Martin was already hungry.

"Big girl, can I have a cup, half a cup?"

Ling Qing ignored it, poured himself a cup, and slowly tasted it.

Until Wei Qiu came back with delicious food.

Martin's neck had straightened.

"Girl, give me something to eat! I can't starve to death." Martin begged for mercy.He can bear any pain and injury, except that he cannot be hungry.

When he was hungry, he felt that he was close to death.

If he died, he couldn't let go of who would take care of the old mother and a young brother in the family.

Ling Qing looked directly at Martin: "Why can't you starve to death?"

"If you die of starvation, there will be no one to take care of your mother and younger brother."

"Aren't you afraid of being killed if you are afraid of starving to death?"

Martin was taken aback for a moment, then remembered the remorse he had been instigated, no, it was remorse.

Ling Qing drank tea slowly again, waiting for Martin's choice.

After a long time, Martin poked his sweaty palm and said in a low voice: "The young one is twenty-five years old this year, and he is in the pork business. He grew up in Ducheng and lived in Nanjiao Lane. There was an old mother and an eight-year-old younger brother."

Ling Qing's eyes fell on Martin's fat body. It was because of this that she thought of eating to divert his attention and find a breakthrough.

Martin continued with a sad face: "The little old mother has always had big and small old problems, and she has to drink soup every day. When picking up medicines in the small pharmacy, I can't get all the medicines. I heard that the medicines in Xuanjitang are fresh and complete. So I went there to see a doctor and get some medicine.”

"In the beginning, we could get all the medicinal materials, but then we couldn't. Every now and then, there was either a lack of one or another. Xuanjitang is the largest medicine store in Ducheng. If there is a shortage there, there will definitely be no other small medicine stores."

"Afterwards, I thought about going to the mall to buy it. Who knew that the door of the mall hadn't been seen yet! The people in Xuanjitang arrested him and said that the young one was a thief and sent him to the chamber of commerce. I have become a thief. With this name, the little one will not be able to go to the mall to buy medicine."

"When I have nowhere to go, I can only keep dealing with the people in Xuanjitang. Take care of those drug boys and ask them to help me pay attention to the medicinal materials, or keep some if they can." The more Martin said, the more angry he became. Reluctant to compromise.

Ducheng does have a rule that city residents with criminal records cannot go to the mall. This is a punishment for criminals.

And these criminals will be disliked by the masters, they can't make money, and they can't enjoy the treatment that city residents should have. Most of them will correct their mistakes, otherwise they will be expelled from the city.

The penalty period is judged according to the degree of the error.

Those who steal medicinal materials like Martin will be fined for one year.

Ling Qing was full of doubts: "What is the reason for the shortage of medicinal materials?"

"It's said that the warehouse is out of medicine, and the new ones haven't arrived yet. There are few goods coming in, and most people who come to see patients all day to get medicine need this medicine, so there is not enough."

"What medicinal materials are so scarce?"

"Sanqi, sometimes there is no bletilla striata. Anyway, these two are scarce medicinal materials, and they come in turn. It is also because of the lack of medicinal materials that I have made a few troubles with Gu Pingzhe."

"The little one quarreled with him and even started fighting." Martin said dissatisfied: "It's rare that he raised the price when the medicine was available. Time is still short of weight. That's why the young ones won't be so impulsive."

"It's more expensive to grab medicine!"

It stands to reason that the price of goods in Ducheng is generally higher than that of other places, and the prices are set according to the living standards of the people.

And the income of those who can live in Ducheng will not be lower than that of other places.

In addition, there is a shopping mall next door, so everything is cheap to buy.Even if there is a little distance, the city residents will not go to the mall just to save a little money.

Unless what you want requires a lot.

"Compared to the past, the price raised is naturally not expensive." Martin said angrily: "Since the independent city promulgated that thing to accept new city residents, there have been more people collecting protection fees in the city."

"The monthly maintenance fee is one or two taels of silver; the daily cleaning fee is one hundred Wen. Moreover, the business is now more difficult than before, so it is enough to pay that much money every day!"

Ling Qing suddenly turned cold: "Have you reported to the chamber of commerce?"

"Reported." Martin said discouragedly: "It's useless. No matter how many times, the answer they give is that they are processing it, and wait for a small one."

"Wait, wait, I've been waiting for more than two years, and I still tell you to wait!" Martin carefully glanced at Ling Qing again: "Later, I found the wife of the mayor."

Ling Qing narrowed her eyes: "Huh?"

Martin shrank his head. The matter has come to this point, and he doesn't intend to hide it anymore.
