Chapter 205 The Queen's Position
Chu Qingdao: "But the penalty for breach of contract is 30 taels. This is not a small amount of money. Even if you don't make money, you won't just pay it directly?" Xiang Liu, "The jade hairpin on your head is very pretty, didn't you spend a lot of money?"

Mrs. Liu took a peek at Fu Lao Liu, feeling a little guilty: "It's...a lot of money."

Chu Qing said: "Where did it come from?"

Mrs. Liu seemed a little embarrassed as she wrung the handkerchief, but now her reputation has almost been ruined, and she was accused of being a murderer, so it doesn't matter, bit her lip, and said directly: "Yes, it was given by this friend. ..."

For some reason, Fu Lao Liu's face changed slightly.

He Lao Er even exploded directly: "He gave it? Bah! He will give you such a cheap... Will he give you such a valuable thing?!"

Mrs. Liu's expression turned ugly: "Why didn't the sixth one give it to you? Could it be your big brother that worthless? Does he have the ability to get 300 taels of jade hairpins? Does he have the money?!"

He Laoer gritted his teeth, his eye circles were red with hatred, but he could only heave his chest violently, and he could only recognize it.

He didn't speak, but Chu Qing smiled, and after looking around a few people, he probably guessed something, "Mr. Liu, don't tell me, this jade hairpin might really be given by your man."

Liu's face changed slightly: "How, how is it possible... He, he has no money... It's only two taels of silver a month... How is it possible?"

Chu Qing said: "Boss He has no money, but Second He has. Half a month ago, Second He heard that there was a big business, so he sold all the goods and got 300 taels of silver. This order can directly earn 100 taels, but after signing the contract, within two days, He Lao Er broke the contract and paid 30 taels of liquidated damages, why don't you think he made this money?"

As soon as she said this, not only Mrs. Liu but also He's second son's face changed: "My, my lord...you, you, you, you, how do you know?"

Chu Qingqing said: "I know more. You and Boss He are brothers, and they have depended on each other since childhood. It's nothing at all. It's not bad to support each other, especially after you opened this grocery store. , but all of this has changed after Boss He married Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu is too lazy to work, but also hates the poor and loves the rich. In order to satisfy Mrs. Liu, Mrs. He has to ask you for help. You are miserable, but because the other party is Your eldest brother can only bear it, but never thought that you have fought for a big order for several months, just because Mrs. Liu took a fancy to a jade hairpin. When your eldest brother came to you, he saw the 300 Two grains of silver, thinking about it, actually took it away... You went to your elder brother to ask, but he actually entrusted Lao Liu with 300 taels to buy such a jade hairpin. But he didn't expect that Fu Lao Liu had a relationship with his wife The leg, after taking the jade hairpin, actually said that it was given by him, Boss He believed it honestly, because of such a valuable thing, Mrs. Liu is even more determined to deal with the sixth child... I don’t know, am I right? "

Now, the three people in the hall, plus everyone outside the hall were shocked by the sudden incident, took a breath, never thought that Boss He, who looks so honest on weekdays, would be able to deceive himself like this Brother, that's 300 taels of silver. Why did the second child earn such a sum of hard-earned money from being greedy early in the morning, but he took it all away, just to buy a hairpin for Mrs. Liu?

I don't know if Boss He is cruel or infatuated...

Everyone was silent, but Liu's pretty face was pale. She looked at Fu Lao Liu in disbelief: "This hairpin...is the boss bought it for me?"

Fu Lao Liu's head was almost buried in his chest. He was the sixth child and his family had a lot of money. The five elder sisters in front of him were also married. But how could it be possible to take out three hundred grains of silver to buy a hairpin for this woman?He usually likes to show off his abilities in front of Boss He, and knows many jade merchants. At that time, Mrs. Liu disliked Boss He, and Boss He had been silent all the time. Suddenly, one day, he gave him 300 taels of silver, saying yes To get a good hosta.

Fu Laoliu asked him where he got the money from. He Boss only said that he borrowed it from He Laoer, and he believed it. This He Laoer did have some family background, but at the same time, he also got worried and was worried that there was nothing he could do. Take this beautiful Mrs. Liu, so he tricked Boss He, saying that he would give it to Mrs. Liu. I am afraid that Mrs. Liu will ask, it is better to say that he gave it to him. The meeting ceremony, Liu naturally believed it.

He originally meant to say that, but for some reason this Boss He was so disturbed, he agreed like that.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu always thought that the hairpin was a family heirloom given by him.

Liu Shi was dumbfounded, she trembled her hands, and burst into tears with a sudden howl: "The master...I'm sorry for you..."

He Lao Er knelt there with a dead expression on his face, without saying a word for a long time, and then heard Chu Qing sternly: "He Lao Er, because of the 300 taels of silver, you are angry that Boss He is so cruel and let you fall into that You are in such a desperate situation, so you think that you will be dragged down in the future, and you accidentally saw the matter between Liu Shi and Fu Laoliu, so you simply designed such a poisonous murder case, is this official right?"

He Laoer wiped his face, but looked at Chu Qing seriously, and shook his head: "Caomin did not. When the incident happened, Caomin was deep in the ferry, and there was no time to kill elder brother... Caomin was wronged."

Chu Qing smiled: "According to the normal road, it does take more than an hour from the ferry to Mr. He, but what if... there is a shortcut?"

As soon as she said this, He Laoer's face turned completely pale.

When Chu Qing was idle in the cell earlier, Zhong Xuan brought her a lot of books, one of which happened to be about the distribution of terrain around the capital, and where to go to where, she sat so The long-term cell was used to study this.So when she saw this case yesterday, she first felt that something was wrong, at least this second child couldn't be excluded.

Then I heard He Lao Er's methodical answer today, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his heart, and the export did not even bring memories or pauses at all, which made people suspicious.

In addition, let people investigate, and what they find, there is a motive for committing the crime...

He Laoer's whole body went limp, and he knelt there without saying a word.

Chu sighed softly, and didn't know whether to pity the other party or think that the other party was cruel: "Second He, you have the time and motive of committing the crime. As for the arsenic, there are records in the pharmacy. Since you want to get away, naturally you won't be there." To buy it in the capital, I just need someone to go to Fenghe County to check the various pharmacies, and it is not difficult to find out. Can you... plead guilty?"

There was dead silence inside and outside the hall... He Laoer hugged his head in pain for a long time, let out a long growl, and finally prostrated himself on the ground, shedding painful but helpless tears: "... Grassroots, plead guilty... But The grass people are unwilling..." He has worked hard for so many years, just because his elder brother made all his efforts go to waste in order to please Mrs. Liu, he is unwilling...unwilling...

Chu shook his head lightly, and asked the master to let him draw the bet, and then put all three of them down.

Mrs. Liu and Fu Laoliu committed adultery, and naturally they would have to go to jail, but this second brother He... can only sigh.

After these two cases, which were obviously impossible to solve in the eyes of the chief secretary and others, were solved so easily, everyone was also dumbfounded. Confused.He Lao Er killed He Boss?He Laoer still recognizes it?
After they were surrounded, looking at Chu Qing's appearance, they were not looking at a person at all, they were as shocked as looking at Master Qingtian alive.If it wasn't for the wrong situation, they would all have rushed over to worship.However, Chu Qing didn't feel much, but felt that the eyes of the servants and others around her were much warmer. She touched her face, thinking it was an illusion.

These two cases are the most difficult of those cases, so once these two cases are resolved, the rest of the cases will be much simpler. It is almost unbelievable that Chu Qing spent the whole afternoon summoning The speed of the case was resolved, and when the sun set, the master clerk felt that the hand writing the dossier was numb, but looking at the thick and round dossier, the master clerk almost shed tears of emotion.

The amount of this day is almost equivalent to the amount of a month when Mr. Min was here, but even though he is very tired, the director feels very satisfied. He will be the director because he sincerely hopes to avenge the people. Seeing those cases are all clear , Seeing the wicked being punished, he felt as if he had also helped, he was refreshed, no matter how tired he was, his heart was satisfied.

So, I became more active in handling things, but in the next few days, the news spread that the female criminal case was resolved quickly and like a god, and almost all the rumors in the market were about the female criminal case, speculating whether the other party was really such a genius.

However, Chu Qing, the subject of discussion, was faced with a very tangled problem, that is, what to give Li Tianxiao for the Longevity Festival.

This is simply too embarrassing for her, she has bought the house with all her money, and there is no money left to buy valuable things for Li Tianxiao, besides, she feels that it is precious in her heart, and other ministers are afraid that they will also sharpen their heads and want to give it away .

Chu Qing felt that she still didn't want to join in the fun, so Yu Cufeng's suggestion got into her head.

Then, she might as well make one by herself, which is unique and innovative, and most importantly... saves money.

Chu Qing gave a low cough, hoping that the emperor would not think that he was dealing with his birthday just because he was disgusted.

However, because the Longevity Festival is just around the corner, apart from all the officials trying to find ways to buy birthday gifts in order to show off their talents on the Longevity Festival, Empress Dowager Liu also made up her mind.The emperor is over 20 years old, and has been on the throne for nearly 20 years. She always felt that she had been in control of the emperor, but since the appearance of the concubine Mei, the emperor has become more and more disobedient. What's wrong?This queen must come from their Liu family.
