Chapter 54 Dog bites dog

Huang Xiaocui's cheek hurt from being slapped, but she didn't dare to make a sound of dissatisfaction.When she lowered her head and saw the extremely familiar account book, her face suddenly turned red and white.

How did this account book come into the hands of the county magistrate?
Huang Xiaocui was extremely frightened and was just thinking about continuing to act stupid when she heard the county magistrate clapped his hands and said, "Bring everyone in."

The yamen servant responded and went out to call in the people waiting outside.

As those people walked in one after another, Huang Xiaocui's eyes became more and more panicked.

About [-] or [-] people were found, all of them were women, and they didn't look very old.

Song Qingyou looked at those girls a few times, and estimated that the oldest one was no more than fifteen, and the youngest looked about ten years old.

These girls were all silent, standing there without even daring to lift their heads.

Some even had injuries on their faces.

"Do you know them?" The county magistrate stared at Huang Xiaocui and asked sharply.

"I..." Huang Xiaocui's eyes dodge, thinking crazily about how to make excuses.

She tried hard to recall the scene when she sold these girls, and confirmed that she did not show up, and the money she got was also stolen, so there was no evidence to prove it.

As for the account book, her name is not written on it. As long as she doesn't recognize it, the county magistrate can't say that she wrote it!
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaocui's guilty conscience gradually dissipated, and doubts appeared on her face.

"Sir, if a civilian woman doesn't know these women, she has not committed any crime!"

If the county magistrate hadn't met Xiao Qishu and Song Qingyou long ago, he might have believed Huang Xiaocui's nonsense right now.

"No crime? You oppressed the poor people, coaxed them into signing loans with high interest rates, and took people to the people's homes to snatch their children and daughters if they didn't pay the money. You sold these women into the brothel! Up to now, You still want to quibble?" The county magistrate's expression became more and more severe.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Huang Xiaocui became arrogant, "My lord, the women are innocent and have never done what you said. I have never seen these women. Even if you are a parent officer, you can't rely on this book alone. The ownerless account book framed the women!"

"You..." The county magistrate's neck was red with anger at Huang Xiaocui's denial.

Song Qingyou blinked, as if she had guessed what Huang Xiaocui was planning.

She quietly retreated to the back of the crowd. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly came to the warehouse and put back the money and jewelry she had collected from here.

As for food, vegetables and fruits, Song Qingyou directly withdrew them.

She returned to the front yard and happened to hear Huang Xiaocui yelling.

"Your Excellency insists that it is the women who sold these women, so if you dare to ask Your Excellency, the money they sold must not be a small amount? If you don't believe the women, let people search my house to see if there is any money!"

Huang Xiaocui calculated that the money was stolen, and the county magistrate couldn't find a single coin.

But she didn't expect that Song Qingyou had space in his hands, not to mention the little silver she hid, even if it was a treasury's treasure, Song Qingyou could move it wherever he wanted.

The county magistrate waved his hand and ordered the government officials to search the house!

Huang Xiaocui had already stood up at this time, looking at the county magistrate with a confident face.

She even thought of the scene where the county magistrate apologized to her after the yamen servants couldn't find anything.

"My lord! Several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were found in the warehouse!" Just as Huang Xiaocui was complacent, a yamen servant quickly ran over from the backyard.

"What?!" Huang Xiaocui was the first to be shocked.

She had clearly rummaged through the courtyard and the warehouse. After confirming repeatedly that the property had been stolen, she dared to go to Song Qingyou angrily.

But what does the yamen say now?
The silver jewelry is in the warehouse?

Huang Xiaocui almost doubted her life. She pushed away the government servant who was blocking her and stumbled towards the warehouse.

The county magistrate and others quickly followed.

Huang Xiaocui ran to the door of the warehouse and was stunned when she saw the boxes of belongings.

"How could it be? How could it happen again..." She sat down on the threshold, not knowing what to do.

"Huang Xiaocui, you have not pleaded guilty!" the county magistrate scolded in a cold voice.

Huang Xiaocui looked at the boxes of belongings as if she hadn't heard, muttering something vaguely in her mouth.

"Arrest her first!" The county magistrate waved his hand, and two yamen servants stepped forward immediately, each grabbing Huang Xiaocui's arm.

Huang Xiaocui suddenly came back to her senses, and kept shouting for injustice, "My lord! Your lord is merciful! The women were wronged! The money was put in by others to frame the women! It's..."

As she spoke, her eyes met Song Qingyou's cold eyes through her messy hair. She immediately went mad, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and threw herself in Song Qingyou's direction desperately.

"Sir! It was this bitch Song Qingyou who framed me! It was her who wanted to harm me! My lord, please investigate clearly!"

After speaking, seeing that the county magistrate was unmoved, Huang Xiaocui quickly asked others for help.

Thinking of what Tang Yulian said, the Xiao family would restore prosperity in the future, Huang Xiaocui grabbed Tang Yulian's sleeve in a panic, "Sister Tang, sister Tang, please help me! I'm doing it for..."

She wanted to say that she wanted to help Tang Yulian vent her anger before targeting Song Qingyou, but before she could finish her words, Tang Yulian threw her away.

"You are just a former maid of the Xiao family, but you are worthy of being called sister? What do you think you are?"

Tang Yulian was afraid that Huang Xiaocui would drag her into the water by talking too much, so she hurriedly said to the magistrate, "My lord, please lock up this bitch, she is crazy, she wants to talk to anyone she sees."

The county magistrate remained silent, and turned his eyes to Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu without a trace.

Huang Xiaocui immediately became angry when she heard Tang Yulian's downfall, "Tang Yulian! You are a slut! You are a whore who turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone! You were the one who said you didn't like Song Qingyou and asked me to help you harm her. Now that something happened to me, what do you think?" Get rid of the relationship, you are dreaming!"

At this moment, Huang Xiaocui's hatred was transferred directly to Tang Yulian. Her eyes were red, and she rushed towards Tang Yulian like crazy, as if she wanted to tear him alive.

Tang Yulian's face turned pale, relying on Huang Xiaocui being caught by two yamen servants, he stepped forward and slapped Huang Xiaocui hard, "What nonsense are you talking about? See if I don't smack your mouth!"

As she spoke, she slapped Huang Xiaocui on the face several more times.

Huang Xiaocui's cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she still cursed Tang Yulian inarticulately.

No matter how Tang Yulian concealed it, everyone heard Huang Xiaocui's words clearly. Thinking back to how Huang Xiaocui and Tang Yulian got too close yesterday, everyone looked at Tang Yulian with suspicion.

"Since she said she conspired with you, you should also go to the county government office with me and interrogate together." The county magistrate has been an official for so many years, so he naturally saw Tang Yulian's eagerness to cover up, so he immediately arrested the two of them together.

Not only the two of them, but also several men who had followed Huang Xiaocui to surround Song Qingyou were also escorted back together.

Everyone in the Xiao family looked a little ugly when they saw that Tang Yulian was about to be taken away by the government officials.

Among them, Xiao Yiran is the worst.

He couldn't help but beg the county magistrate directly, so he looked at Song Qingyou: "Song Qingyou, how could you just watch my mother being taken away? Please quickly plead with the county magistrate and beg him to let my mother go."
