Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 99, Meet Master Li
Li Guanshi faced the two with a rather arrogant expression: "Don't wait any longer, your Qiao Hong will be sent to the county government jail later, if you want to lead someone, go to the county government to lead someone, don't stand in front of my house try to find."

Xiao Qing's heart tightened, Qiao Hong really had an accident.

Her face darkened: "Why do you want to go to the county government to lead people? What did my family, Qiao Hong, do to be imprisoned?"

Zhang Mu interjected and said, "What's the matter? You guys dared to lead someone, but your Qiao Hong went to my master's study to steal books, and was caught by my master, oh... I understand now, he I went to steal books at noon, and you came to pick them up in the afternoon. It turned out that you wanted to leave after stealing things. Could your family be a habitual criminal who stole books and wanted to sell them for money? A family of thieves!"

"Nonsense, Brother Hong won't steal from others. It's true that he likes to read, but he will never steal books, let alone sell them for money!" Qiao Erjing retorted loudly.

Xiao Qing finally heard the reason, and her thoughts turned a thousand times, and she almost guessed the seriousness of the matter, but she still didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't immediately shut the two of them up, maybe they were framed by Qiao Hong, she was cautious For the top.

Facing Guanshi Li and Zhang Mu, she did not rush to defend Qiao Hong, but instead smiled: "Master Guanshi, please take us to meet Qiao Hong, I am his stepmother, I was the one who sold him back then, This kid loves to read, but his family is so poor that he can’t afford to buy books. I’m afraid he won’t steal books and sell them for money. I think he should steal books to study. Since he is doing this in Master Li’s house, I insist Teach him face to face, let him kneel down and kowtow to apologize to Mr. Li, and then apologize to several adults, and then send him to prison without hindering the eyes of several adults, okay? If I had known that he was such a person, I would There's no point in redeeming him, it's too embarrassing! Let me see him and say a few words to him?"

Guanshi Li saw that Xiao Qing was very sensible, he knew who could be offended and who could not be offended, his heart became less angry, and he saw each other as soon as they saw each other, and they couldn't play any tricks. , as the last time with your family before you die.

"You can see Qiao Hong, but our master is not something you can meet whenever you want!" Li Guanshi said arrogantly.

Xiao Qing smiled, walked forward, took two coins from his pocket and quietly handed it to Guanshi Li: "My lord, our family is poor and we don't have much money. This is the only one in the family. It's convenient for you. Master Li gave a notification, saying that Qiao Hong's stepmother came to make amends! My family has no name in Yaoshan, so I offended Master Li all of a sudden, what should I do in the future! You can do me a favor, let I'll kowtow to the lord, will I make up for it?"

Li Guanshi touched the two coins she handed over, thinking that what she said was telling the truth. It was really impossible to get it out of the yamen if he offended the master bookkeeper in Yaoshan and would do something in the future.

He smiled triumphantly at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then you guys wait here!"

Xiao Qing smiled and watched him go back to the house.

After Li Guanshi left, Qiao Erjing whispered in Xiao Qing's ear: "Mother, did you say that on purpose just now?"

Xiao Qing glared at him, told him to look at the boy at the door, and whispered: "Well, shhh! Don't talk after you go in. In short, no matter who wants to harm Qiao Hong, mother will make him pay a hundred times the price!"

Qiao Erjing gritted his teeth, that's right, whoever dares to touch his brother, he will risk his life to seek justice!

After a cup of tea, Guanshi Li came out of the house.

He looked slowly at the two people, one fat and one thin, at the door, with contempt and pride in his eyes: "Go in, my master is kind-hearted, and he can't bear Qiao Hong to meet an official like this, so you go in and kowtow to him to teach Qiao Hong a lesson. Meal, let you take the person to the officer yourself!"

Xiao Qing nodded with a smile: "Okay, thank you sir, I'll go in and kowtow to admit my mistake, and I must teach that bastard a lesson!"

Li Guanshi led the two of them to the side hall of Li's residence.

As soon as he walked to the side hall, Xiao Qing saw Qiao Hong kneeling in the hall, and Li Xuan, who had a refined face, was lecturing him.

"I don't want to send you to see the official. Tell me about your liking for reading. If you go to prison, you will be charged with crimes in the future. The county academy will not recommend you to go to Coenke. You are so confused! In this way, Go to the government with your mother and tell your mother, stay in prison for a few days, and I will talk to the magistrate from time to time, if you get out of prison, don't do this thing again!" Li Xuan said earnestly persuading.

It's just that Qiao Hong on the ground is still taciturn, and he refuses to defend himself with half a word. He has already said so much that no one believes it.

Li Xuan saw the fat woman and the thin black man brought in together at the door, he said: "Your mother and your brother are here!"

Xiao Qing knew about Li Xuan's family background, the Li family was a scholarly family, although several generations were doing the work of master bookkeepers, but the family were all scholars, but the highest Enke examination, the best among his generations was only him Juren.

She just heard these words because of their preference for scholars.

"Hello, Master Li!" Xiao Qing said.

"You came at the right time!" Li Xuan said: "You don't have to kowtow to apologize to me. I will definitely send this indictment to the county government, otherwise he will go to someone's house in the future, and his hands and feet will be dirty. Let him remember Learn from this lesson, and you won’t dare to do it again in the future!”

Xiao Qing asked suspiciously: "My lord, can I ask, what happened to my Qiao Hong, and I need this indictment to be sent to the Yamen?"

Li Xuan didn't want to waste time talking with her, so he asked Li Guanshi to take him to talk.

After Li Guanshi told the ins and outs, Xiao Qing understood clearly.

She said: "My lord, this indictment will be sent to the Yamen. My Qiao Hong will never be able to take the Enke exam in this lifetime."

Li Xuan snorted and smiled: "When he stole the book, he should have thought of the consequences of this matter!"

Qiao Hong on the ground was already silent. He said a lot of injustices, which were not done by him, but by Zhang Mu, who deliberately hurt him.

Xiao Qing asked unhurriedly: "My lord, can you lend the book he stole to the little lady for a look? I want to see what kind of book makes him lose himself to the point of stealing it."

As soon as Li Xuan raised his hand, Butler Li took the book from the table to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing flipped through the pages, and after confirming that it was the one he bought, he smiled.

"My lord, can you allow the little lady to ask your lord a few questions?"

It was the first time for Li Xuan to see this kind of peasant woman. She was not afraid of him, but neither humble nor overbearing, with a sincere smile on her face, which made you undeniable.

"If you have anything to say, say it!"

Xiao Qing asked: "My lord, my little lady would like to ask how many copies of this book do you have at home?"

Li Xuan thought for a while: "There are probably three or four books!"

"It seems that my lord loves the book of university very much!" Xiao Qing asked again: "Then the three or four books in my lord's house must be handwritten copies in the early years, and each of them is precious!"
