Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 18 The Inexplicable Frame

The life lawsuit in the Xicheng market frightened Mrs. Xie and Widow Li, and they were relieved only after asking the reason.

Widow Li directly ordered her daughter to be restrained, and she was not allowed to run out again. She said that her daughter's family is not small anymore, and she should also talk about her husband's family after a while.

On the second day, Widow Li called Wang Xiu and taught her mercilessly, "Da Lang! It's not that the aunt is talking about you, you are old and young, and Wang Daguan is like this. Why don't you go out and find a good job to make a living?" Good skills, and I will be able to support my family in the future, how can I get mixed up with those rascals."

Wang Xiu was extremely depressed, I'm standing up for your daughter, okay?Hearing this, it seemed like I was taking Youqin Moyan to make trouble, couldn't help but rolled my eyes, and said angrily: "Ma'am, I didn't take the initiative to provoke those rascals, I went out to buy brown sugar to make trouble."

Widow Li was speechless for a while, Wang Xiu was right, he and his daughter did not pester her, but her daughter insisted on playing along.No, getting into trouble was completely caused by a rogue molesting his daughter, and then he gradually developed to murder. The root cause is that Wang Xiu still tried his best to protect his daughter, but he couldn't say this, so he had no choice but to say: "You children, I really don't know What to say, that's all, as long as you don't cause trouble, I don't bother to care about you."

Wang Xiu hummed twice, with a bright face, muttered a few words and left.

The boss Youqin Moyan was unhappy, but helpless, he kept looking for reasons to accompany Wang Qingzhu to be a female celebrity. Widow Li acquiesced after seeing her a few times, as long as she didn't run out, it would be fine.

Wang Xiu still bought brown sugar, and the hut was full of loess, and he kept tinkering in his hut, even Youqin Moyan came looking for him secretly, and didn't bother to talk.What a joke, if I ignore you again, Widow Li will not cut me alive.

On this day, he was fine-tuning the yellow muddy water, figuring out the ever-changing rules, and felt that he was getting closer to success. Just when he was about to mix the sugar, he was called out by Wang Qingzhu. It turned out that the county captain had come over. I want to ask about Gao Sheng's murder.

It's just an ordinary murder case, and the majestic county lieutenant can still work. If you come to intervene in person, you can just pass the word to the court, Wang Xiu muttered to himself, when did the county lieutenant become close to the people?My dear, the sun has really risen from the west!

"Wang Dalang, those neighbors have told you about the matter between you and the young lady of the Youqin family. It is true that Gou San and the others were the first to look for trouble. Gao Sheng was humiliated by Gou San, so he used the knife in a fit of anger." He squinted, behaved well, looked gentle and elegant, and looked like a middle-aged successful person.

Widow Li brought Qin Moyan to the scene, she finally felt relieved, and said with a smile: "It's still the county lieutenant who made a clear decision. The old woman just said that Wang Dalang is a piece of wood. How dare he provoke right and wrong. But so is Gao Sheng, you can't say that Gou San Just beat him up and you'll be fine, why use a knife to kill someone."

Wang Xiu listened to a black line, you reasoned with the rogue with the knife?Facing Widow Li, he really had nothing to say.

Wang Cheng stood aside dejectedly. He was already sick, and the county lieutenant had to come out to meet him. Hearing this, he put his heart in his stomach.In the past, he had already talked about his son. Since his son opened his eyes and the family broke down, he spent all his time studying and tinkering with syrup. Obviously, he was making the white sugar he mentioned. Although the family was dilapidated, there was food The sugar is whiter than frosting sugar. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the son is really going to be the leader of the family.

The county lieutenant chuckled, stroked his three-inch beard lightly, keeping his eyes on Youqin Moyan from the corner of his eyes, and said softly, "However, it's still a little troublesome."

Widow Li was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what trouble can I have?"

Wang Cheng's eyelids twitched, and he said in a trembling voice, "Dare to ask my lord, is it my elder brother's business?"

The county lieutenant shook his head and said: "It's true, someone sent a letter to the county magistrate, saying that it was a small official from the Wang family and your young lady. They first had a conflict with Poppi, and the county magistrate sent it to the magistrate for disposal. This officer also felt that it was a bit strange that it was inappropriate to pass on your interrogation, so I came to the door to inquire."

"My lord said, how dare my eldest sister and daughter's family go to the streets to cause trouble, even a sensible person would not believe it. It must be some babbling people who want to ruin my family style." This is not a joke. It's not good that my daughter will face a lawsuit. Could it be that Wang Xiu didn't tell the truth?Widow Li yelled first, and she gave Wang Xiu a hard look in her eyes.

Wang Xiu was the first to think of Zhang Qiyuan and Lu Tianshou, but felt that something was wrong. Lu Tianshou's IQ was worth forgetting. Zhang Qiyuan would never do such a stupid thing. How could he go to the streets with the little lady and take the initiative to find trouble with the rascals? Yes, this is not nonsense!

But the county captain changed his voice and said, "By the way, the red-robed man who took Gao Sheng away has been found out."

Wang Xiu was startled, and subconsciously asked, "May I ask you, who are they?"

The county lieutenant coughed lightly, and said: "Tang Wen came from the prefecture yesterday. Two days ago, a few people had a drink outside the city. They spoke in barbaric language. They seem to be Khitan people."

"Khitan people?" Wang Xiu was a little confused. The Khitan people rescued Gao Sheng. There are no sharp and brave people, and the probability that there will be Khitan people who recognize heroes in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty is too small.

Yelu Dashi?Impossible, it's too far away.

Wang Cheng sighed, and said: "How could he be from Khitan? Brother Gao Wu is a good young man. It's a pity that he didn't expect to die in a foreign race."

Widow Li shook her head, and said heartlessly: "Run away as soon as you run, what are you doing with the captives in the Northland, I said that you are too busy to take care of yourself, and even sighed at others."

"Mother." Youqin Moyan gently pulled Widow Li's cuff, and gave her a strange look.

Only then did Widow Li cover her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Look at what my old woman said, no matter how much they run, they won't be able to escape the palm of your lord."

Wang Xiu was overwhelmed by Widow Li's obsequiousness, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and felt goosebumps. She glanced at Widow Li contemptuously, and thought to herself, in my humble opinion, are you flattering or scolding?

The old county lieutenant blushed slightly, and coughed dryly: "It's a pity that they left long ago. If you want to hurry up and whip Madam, you may have reached the border of the west of Beijing, and the state government can't catch the envoys!"

Widow Chen's face turned red and then turned pale, embarrassing, but Wang Cheng said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to mind, the other states and counties will stop you."

The county lieutenant smiled lightly, and said warmly: "Well, they came here as soon as they left, let your officials tell the truth about the situation that day, who made the first move? I don't know, the county magistrate is not good at talking."

Wang Xiu took a deep breath, whoever did it first, not who was the first to look for it, this is a learned question!The county lieutenant asked like this, there must be something tricky in it, he glanced at the county lieutenant thoughtfully.

No, Youqin Moyan took the lead and said: "My lord, of course those rascals will take the trouble first, and my brother will protect me."

Widow Li grabbed her daughter and scolded in a low voice: "Shut up, what a decent family is a daughter." Then she bowed to the county captain and smiled: "My lord, the little girl is not sensible, I hope you will forgive me."

The county lieutenant looked at Youqin Moyan with a smile, shook his head and said: "Young lady is quite straightforward, her nature is straightforward, it's okay, it's okay."

Widow Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned her gaze to Wang Xiu, and said angrily, "Wang Dalang, tell me."

Wang Xiu blinked, looked at Widow Li, and said awkwardly, "Mother, what can I say?"

"You kid, didn't you hear what the adults asked you?" Widow Li was afraid that the matter would involve her daughter, and her face was about to go crazy.

Youqin Moyan had a delicate face, looking pitiful, he wanted to say something but dared not, so he could only look at Wang Xiu eagerly.

The county lieutenant saw it in his eyes, and a strange color flashed in the corner of his eyes, and said: "Miss Li, don't get angry, the matter ordered by the magistrate must always be rounded up, let the Wang family officials talk about it."

"My lord, it was Popi who made the move first." Youqin Mo Yan summoned up his courage.

"Shut up, my lord didn't ask you, so don't talk too much." Seeing her daughter vying for the top, Widow Li was startled and angry, and hurriedly scolded her softly.

The county lieutenant said kindly, "It's okay, it's okay, little lady, this is a matter between Wang Dalang and Popi, and has nothing to do with your mother and daughter."

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, and he felt a toothache. The matter was a bit serious. He wanted to do a good job in business and study at ease, even if he turned his family around. .
