Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 666: Taking the blame

After thinking about it, Lu Wenqing prepared some delicious seasonal vegetables, and brought some other things, packed them neatly, and gave them to the boy beside Gu Xiuwen.

 In addition, I also took some boiled eggs and sausages and gave them to the boy together, and briefly explained how to eat them.

“These are for my little brother. It’s winter, so I have to wait here. I can take them back as a snack and keep warm.” Lu Wenqing wrapped a few sausages and gave them to the little boy.

The young man saw that Lu Wenqing was a thoughtful person and did not look down on him because of his status, so he had a very good impression of Lu Wenqing.

 “Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Lu.”

The boy thanked him, took all his things, and hurried to Gu's house.

Lu Wenqing was a little tired, but she still managed to deal with the follow-up matters of Qilixiang with shopkeeper Sun.

The next day, Gu Xiuwen went to court to interrogate Qilixiang's troubles.

 Because several people said they were instructed by Qingzhu, Gu Xiuwen ordered people to call Qingzhu for questioning.

Qingzhu didn't admit it at first, but there were many witnesses and Gu Xiuwen ordered people to put a few stamps on him. Qingzhu couldn't stand it anymore, so he told the truth.

She admitted that she gave the money and instigated these people to go to Qilixiang to cause trouble. As for the reason, she only said that when she went to deliver something to Lu Wenqing, she was looked down upon by Lu Wenqing's people, and she felt resentful, so she wanted revenge.

 As for where the money came from, it was all her own money that she had saved in her daily life.

If you are not blind, you can see that Qingzhu is taking everything on himself at this time.

Gu Xiuwen thought the same way, but the coercion and inducement were all under the control of others, and Qingzhu did not admit that he was instigated by others.

"Sir, this Qingzhu is a maid who sold her body. If she can handle this matter, she will just suffer some hardships. It is not a big deal after all. She will be locked up for a few days and fined a small amount of money. But after she goes out, she will definitely be punished. Enjoy the delicious food and drink, and you won’t have to worry about anything in the future.”

Shen Qiu said, "But if she relaxes now, even if she can be exempted from some punishment, when she leaves this yamen, the Lu family will definitely not treat her well. After all, she is just a maid, selling and beating her." , are common things.”

 “I think I don’t need to review it anymore.”

 There is no point in continuing the trial. If it is too much, it will be said that Gu Xiuwen abused the punishment, which is also very detrimental to Gu Xiuwen.

Gu Xiuwen naturally understood this truth, but it was a bit frustrating to deal with it this way.

 It was a bit frustrating for him, and for Lu Wenqing, it was probably very frustrating as well.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Xiuwen nodded, "That's the only way to go. Beat this green bamboo with twenty boards and put it in jail for ten days."

“Besides, let’s spread the news about this matter. The person who started it doesn’t need to have his flesh cut off, and his skin must be peeled off no matter what. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, there will be no good life in this world.”

Shen Qiu also fully agreed with the matter of letting the second wife of the Lu family learn a lesson, and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, sir. I'll leave this matter to a humble official."

 Shen Qiu did things safely, but it only took two or three days. The news about Qingzhu hiring people to cause trouble in Qilixiang spread throughout the county and became everyone's chat after dinner.

However, what we are talking about is not how daring the maid Qingzhu is, but how vicious-hearted Lu Qishun is.
