Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 59
"That's how it should be." Qin Xiang nodded and said: "My husband just went to watch the excitement and then returned home. Now he has also gone to study. Naturally, he doesn't know anything. I, a woman, don't understand even more. I don't know anything." I dare not understand."

Lu Dachen was silent for a long time after hearing this. He was not sure what Qin Xiang's intention was. However, after getting in touch with each other overtly and covertly during this period, he no longer regarded the woman in front of him as a beautiful little girl.

Later, Lu Da asked: "You came here just to inquire about the news?"

"Of course not!" Qin Xiang replied calmly: "My family is moving to the county town, and I would like to ask the escort to arrange manpower to help move. The things at home don't matter, but the spices are very expensive, so I have to be careful."

The reasons given by Qin Xiang are very good. Lu Da may not believe it, but he will not explore it. Anyway, just give him enough money.

Before Lu Da agreed and asked about the moving day, one of his subordinates ran in in panic and pointed outside: "Brother, there are county police officers coming outside. Go and have a look."

Lu Da's eyes darkened and he rolled his eyes quickly. He thought about the recent events and found that he had not done anything to provoke the government. He felt slightly relieved and scolded: "Why are you panic? Someone from the county government must be here." It’s about the fire.”

Qin Xiang's heart pounded at the side. How could a fire in a town's yard alert the officials so quickly?I'm afraid it's for something else.

At this time, Lu Da was not too worried. So what if he quietly went in and looked at the situation in the house?It's not like he committed murder or arson.

The noise in the yard quickly turned into a quarrel. It seemed that the visitor was not good-natured. Qin Xi stood up and said, "Since Captain Lu is busy with something, I will go back first and wait until the matter is settled."

Lu Da is a person who has been working outside for many years, so he is still sensitive to crises. He hurriedly handed over to Qin Xiang who was about to leave: "Mrs. Xiao, my Qiao San has not returned from helping you with errands. If something happens here, I will Please also ask Mrs. Xiao to help look after my people here."

Qin Xiang was very surprised. Such an entrustment was too much, not to mention that she was still a woman and the two of them were not familiar with each other.

But Lu Da didn't have time to say anything more, he just bowed and looked at Qin Xiang.

Footsteps sounded, and an official came in from the outside. He looked at the two of them and sneered: "Oh, what song is Master Lu singing? A private meeting with a young lady?"

Qin Xiang turned around and looked at the policeman with cold eyes: "Are you a policeman from the county government? What's your name?"

The policeman was a little dazed, frowned and shouted: "Master is investigating the case, how dare you, a little woman, be so rude?"

"You, a low-ranking officer, dare to speak evil words to ruin my reputation. I must go to the county government office to find an explanation from the county magistrate." Qin Xiang's voice was not loud, but she was very confident.

She looked at the policeman with a look that was very familiar to him. It was the look that the masters of high-ranking families looked at them.

Even though the policeman shows off his power outside every day, in fact he has become a lowly citizen. Children within three generations of the family cannot study and take exams, and they cannot get into the eyes of wealthy families at all.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their normal state. Qin Xiang understands it too well. The more fierce and arrogant you are, the more cautious they will be. Otherwise, the opposite will happen.

The police officer quickly scanned Qin Xiang's body. The clothes were made of ordinary material, but the hosta on her head was not bad. Then he saw the incense stick on her waist and was a little moved. This golden incense stick was made with fine workmanship, even in the county. Very few people wear it, which shows that this person has some background.

Lu Da got out of the way in time and explained with a smile: "This Chai Ye Rongzhen is a girl from Mr. Xiao Si's family in Fucheng. She came here to ask our escort to help her move to the county. Chai Ye did not mean it either. I just said it casually, I hope Mrs. Xiao Er won’t be upset.”

Someone handed him a ladder, and the policeman quickly got down. He cupped his hands towards Qin Xiang and said he was offended.Naturally, Qin Xiang would not be reluctant. She raised her chin slightly and snorted slightly. Then she looked at Lu Da and said slightly impatiently: "You should arrange the manpower for my move earlier. Don't delay my affairs." , otherwise I will make it impossible for your escort agency to continue operating."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Da pretended to be scared and bowed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, please rest assured, Mrs. Xiao Er, our escort agency is all honest people, and there will definitely be no mistakes."

The detective looked at Qin Xiang's back coldly, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes, and asked: "Is she the daughter of the Xiao family's eldest daughter who married the second son of the Xiao family who is studying at the county school?"

Lu Da replied: "Yes!" and then added: "Although she was born from an outside wife, Mr. Xiao Si attaches great importance to her and specially invited him to teach her. She is not much different from the girls in the family."

The news that Xiao Chenyu went to the Yamen to get a woman and sent it to honor his father-in-law has long been spread. Unfortunately, everyone only heard about Qin Xiang and did not recognize him. At this time, it seems that they also believe that Mr. Xiao Si loves this person. Daughter.After all, she looks good and has a good temperament, but her temper is a bit arrogant.

He smiled coldly: "There's a world of difference between those born in the outer room. It's not much different. Huh, this is just for show in front of you people who have never seen the world."

Then he remembered his business, and suddenly asked with a cold face: "Did you go into the yard that was on fire?"

Lu Da was stunned and thought to himself: I really came here just for this matter. What a bad luck. Not only did I hurt my foot when I jumped in, but I also caused official trouble.

But he couldn't show anything on his face. Instead, he patted his chest carelessly and said, "Master Cha, we went to put out the fire. I went in and took a look. I took a look in the yard. It was burnt inside. I didn't go into the house either." , Master Cha, look, my foot was injured when I jumped in, it hurts so much, how dare I go in and take a closer look."

The detective looked at Lu Da, with a faint smile of unknown meaning appearing at the corner of his mouth. The smile made Lu Da's vest shiver. He didn't understand what was wrong with his words?
He doesn't know that talking too much will lead to misunderstanding.

The policeman smiled, patted Lu Da on the shoulder, changed from his previous fierceness, and said in a low voice: "If the county magistrate wants to ask questions, we brothers always have to take someone back to let the county magistrate hear the whole story. This town is Lu Da." Since my brother is in charge, I naturally want to ask you.

Don't worry, you are the one who put out the fire. Everyone saw that you were injured because of it. The county magistrate will not make things difficult for you. He is just asking. "

Lu Da was dubious, but had to follow the arrester.

There were two more detectives outside, who were dividing the people in the escort agency into two. Each side was asking what they were asking. When they saw the two coming out, everyone looked over.

Lu Da was about to be taken away, but his subordinates naturally refused. The three detectives also clenched the hilts of their knives vigilantly, almost ready to draw their knives if they dared to stop him.

Lu Dashi said to his subordinates: "Everyone, don't make trouble. Listen to me. I'm going to help Mr. Chai answer the question. We haven't done anything bad. What are we afraid of?"

Everyone calmed down, and Mr. Cha felt relieved. He also had a good impression of Lu Da and his attitude became better.

Lu Da hurriedly called a few people's names and said: "You guys go to Mrs. Xiao Er's house in the afternoon. She wants people to move. You should be careful and don't ruin the reputation of our escort agency. Do you hear me?"

Afterwards, Lu Da was taken away, and people on the street came out to watch the excitement. The curtains of the carriages parked on the roadside gently opened a gap.
