Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 594 Dilemma
"According to my guess, it is very likely that the merchants in Ning County have teamed up to frame the young master of the Qiao family. After all, the young master of the Qiao family has really benefited a lot from this matter, and if this matter is really counted, It is very difficult for the young master of the Qiao family to completely clean himself up."

To be precise, it should be completely impossible to clean up!

Seeing that Mo Qianrui's face was very ugly, Tang Yanxiu added: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this matter. If the young master of the Qiao family can spit out the property that has already been acquired, there will be no problem."

"But in this way, the Qiao family is over again."

Even though he is not proficient in business affairs, Mo Qianrui has come from the age of information explosion.

Not to mention, just this matter, regardless of whether the young master of the Qiao family is at fault or not, as long as he pushes out the benefits he has obtained, then he will never be able to gain a foothold in Ning County again.

Even the situation will be more serious.

Once you get it wrong and you are branded as fearful of crime, your life will be over.

"Yes." Tang Yanxiu nodded, agreeing with Mo Qianrui's statement, "The things you said do exist, but if you don't do this, the Qiao family will also end."

Mo Qianrui was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood the unfinished meaning of Tang Yanxiu's words.

This is a difficult choice.

Or, it's not a choice at all.

If the eldest young master of the Qiao family admits to death, then all the property he has worked so hard to obtain before will be lost.Not only those obtained from other merchants in Ning County, but also the property from the family that was wiped out, and... the fruits of the hard work of the young master of the Qiao family over the years.

All failed.

Wolves can't get enough to feed. Once the intention of feeding is revealed, the final result is that the owner feeds the wolf with his body.

But what if you hold on?
Come to think of it, if the young master of the Qiao family doesn't let go, those merchants won't let go either.

And in this state of mutual stalemate, it is natural that whoever retreats first will be unlucky first.But obviously, the young master of the Qiao family is now in the prison of the Ning county government office.Other merchants and households are staying at home well.

Even if there was no torture to extract a confession, the young master of the Qiao family who was pampered since he was a child would not be able to last long.

Take a step back.

Even if the young master of the Qiao family gritted his teeth and survived, how long could he survive without his Qiao family property?You know, he is the only adult male in the Qiao family now.Since he was in prison, it was only a matter of time before the Qiao family fell.

"...So, there is no way out? What did uncle say?"

Having figured it out, Mo Qianrui's mood was even worse, so he had to pin his hopes on the old fox Li Da's shopkeeper.

But this time, she was doomed to be disappointed.

Tang Yanxiu shook her head very slowly: "It's useless."

"what?!"

"Xiaorui, listen to me. It is extremely difficult for me or my adoptive father to intervene in this matter. There are many reasons for this, but there are two most direct reasons. One is , Tang's business has never entered Ning County, and we know nothing about it. Second, we have no position."

Mo Qianrui could still understand the first reason.

But the one behind...

Seeing this, Tang Yanxiu had no choice but to make things clear: "That's the Qiao family. I represent the Tang family, and my adoptive father belongs to the Li family. We can't dictate the affairs of the Qiao family."

"Why is this pointing fingers?"

"It's not that I said that on purpose, but if we intervene, Ning County will definitely reject it with this reason. Unfortunately, the Qiao family has no relatives."

In fact, it cannot be said that the Qiao family has no relatives at all, but no close relatives.

Back then, the old man of the Qiao family was deprived of his family business by his relatives because he had no close relatives, and went out to work alone.The old man of the Qiao family only raised two sons in his life.

As a result, the eldest son has passed away and the younger son is missing.

It means that the young master of the Qiao family has no brothers or cousins.

"Then... let's create a relationship artificially!"

Mo Qianrui gritted her teeth, wasn't she just talking nonsense?Who wouldn't?Since Tang Yanxiu was able to have a relationship with the Li family in the name of righteous father and son, it is the same now.

"Uh, how do I do that?"

Tang Yanxiu could understand what Mo Qianrui meant, but he couldn't figure out what else to do about it.

After thinking about it, Tang Yanxiu hurriedly added: "Although in-laws are also a kind of relatives, it is very difficult to intervene in such a big event. So, even if you really set Baomei and Da Huzi together, it's still a big deal. it's useless."

"Nonsense! If the in-law relationship is useful, uncle can still stand by and watch?"

Rolling his eyes with contempt on his face, Mo Qianrui showed a wicked smile, which made Tang Yanxiu's hair stand on end.

……

Ning County.

In the prison of the official yamen.

The young master of the Qiao family sat in the dry grass expressionlessly, looking at his eyes as if they were completely out of focus, but in fact, his mind was clear.

This time, he was too aggressive.

I thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.If you seize this opportunity, you will be able to revive the Qiao family.

But the idea is good, but forget that the facts may not be what people want.

And his most serious mistake this time was making public anger.

Indeed, even though he did not send someone to instigate the massacre, and even though the fire on the whole street had nothing to do with him, it is a fact that he took advantage of the fire to rob.

Maybe this is a bit serious, but if he put himself in the shoes of those merchants who suffered heavy losses, he was really wrong.

Obviously, everyone is busy putting out the fire, taking care of the sick and injured family members, and even busy collecting the dead bodies of the family members...

And what about him?
Busy annexing the industries of other affected families.

Hehe, now that I think about it, I am really not righteous enough, even a little despicable.

But if he was given another chance, what would he do?

Sitting on the withered grass in the prison, the young master of the Qiao family recalled the scene over and over again.In good conscience, if he was given another chance to do it all over again, he might do it again.It's just that you should be more careful when annexing, and you won't leave so many obvious tails.

Therefore, his nature is so despicable.

"Someone is here to see you."

Outside the dark cell, the jailer suddenly appeared, took a large iron key from his waist, and opened the lock of the cell.Not long after, the door of the cell opened, and two men walked in from the outside, but the jailer outside locked the lock again, leaving a sentence of "a cup of tea" and left.

The young master of the Qiao family naturally understood that the jailer's so-called "a cup of tea" refers to the visiting time.

What puzzled him was that the two men in front of him looked strange.

Because of the unknown situation, the young master of the Qiao family simply stopped talking, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Obviously, the patience of the two men who came to visit was not very good.Almost as soon as the jailer left, they couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper Qiao, are you all right?"

"Tsk, this place is really a good place. It's dark and damp. If it wasn't brought by the jailer, I wouldn't dare to recognize it!"

The young master of the Qiao family slightly raised his eyelids.

In the prison, it is naturally extremely dark.

If you walk in from a bright place at first, you may not be able to see clearly for a while.However, it has been two days since the young master of the Qiao family came in, unless he was reading and writing, it would be no problem to watch other affairs.

At this moment, he could easily see the appearance of the future man clearly.

He should have never seen these two people before, or he might simply be a little person who has never paid attention to them on weekdays.

"What's the matter? How dare you act like a master? Let me tell you, if you don't hurry up and make things clear, tomorrow will be your death day!"

"Yes! I heard that you still have a beautiful wife and young children. If you don't want to take them to be buried with you, you can honestly hand over all those properties! That's not what you deserve!"

The young master of the Qiao family still didn't speak.

However, he has roughly understood the origin and intention of these two people.

It doesn't matter who appointed it, it's just those merchant alliances.As for their intentions, seeing how they kept saying that they never left their family property, any fool could guess it.

As for those threats...

This is really funny.

The massacre of the family is not something he can do at all, and this kind of thing can't be perfunctory at all.Even if the magistrate of Ning County is willing to listen to those merchants, such a shocking case must pass the hands of the governor of Wanhua County.

As for the arson, don't say he didn't do it at all, even if it was true, it is extremely difficult to find evidence.

Therefore, at best, he was framed for conspiring to seize other people's property.

But that...

But it is not unworthy of death.

Not to mention harming the family.

According to the law of this dynasty, only such serious crimes as deceiving the emperor or collaborating with the enemy and treason will harm the family, right?
With a cold smile, the young master of the Qiao family continued to remain silent.

He could bear his temper, but the visitor couldn't.

"This kid won't speak, what should I do?"

"Hey, do you really want money rather than life? You know, even if you insist on it, the property outside will be wiped out sooner or later."

This makes sense.

But the problem is, if the young master of the Qiao family opened his mouth, he would be even more disadvantaged.

The time for a cup of tea soon passed, and the jailer obviously didn't intend to show too much face to the visitor, so when the time came, he opened the door of the cell and got the two of them out.

However, not long after, the jailer returned again.

"Someone came to see you again, but you have a lot to do." Although he was muttering, the movements of his hands were not slow.After all, for a visit like this, the jailer is always paid some favors, otherwise he wouldn't be bothered to help open the door.

The young master of the Qiao family raised his eyelids again, but his expression changed immediately.

"Father-in-law."

This time, the young master of the Qiao family not only opened his mouth, but also got up and tried to salute, but because he couldn't sit for a long time, his body was a little unstable.

Shopkeeper Li pursed his lips, and didn't step forward to help, just stood at the door of the cell and looked at him.

Embarrassed by this undisguised look, the young master of the Qiao family murmured, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has made you worry again."

Facing shopkeeper Li, the young master of the Qiao family really had mixed feelings in his heart.
