Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 148 You just obeyed your brother-in-law

Hearing what Ding Qiang said, although Liu Er wanted to argue, he was afraid of being punished again, so he just didn't dare to speak.

Hu Qian shouted: "Liu Er, what else do you have to say!"

Liu Erdao: "My lord! Caomin didn't kill anyone at all! It was Ma Dong who killed him! He framed me!"

Hu Qian said: "Ma Dong! What Ding Qiang said is true!"

Ma Dong was dumbfounded, but he could still hear him. At this moment, he nodded desperately, and then kowtowed again and again.

Liu Er still wanted to quibble, but Hu Qian didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.

"Come on! Hit class [-] again!"

Wang Shisan and others immediately knocked him down, beat him down with a board, and he recruited honestly.

Hu Qian stood in the hall and slapped the gavel, "Hear the trial in the hall!
The trial of Huang Zhao's murder case, Liu Er murdered and framed him, and sentenced him to autumn execution!

Ding Qiang did not report his knowledge!Eighty rods, two years of apprenticeship.

The rest are related to Huang Zhao's family, and all of them have twenty sticks to correct the atmosphere.

The property of Huang Zhao's family was distributed by his husband, Mr. Huang's relatives. "

Seeing that all the concubines of the Huang Zhao family were dying, those who were hit by the board, the women who watched the excitement at the door all celebrated with their hands.

"Okay! Well done! Just kill them!"

"Let's see if these people dare to flirt with women again in the future!"

"This murder case was solved too quickly! It took less than half a day!"

"Yes! I thought Master Nie was fast enough! I didn't expect Master Hu to be faster!"

In the evening, the county magistrate Qin Jia came to report that all the money fined had been collected, and asked Hu Qian to check the amount.

Hu Qian naturally didn't dare to be careless about such things, and immediately asked Hu Jiu and Wang Shisan to accompany him.

Qin Jia, together with the county yamen chief and other small officials, checked each of them clearly in front of Hu Qian, and then locked the gate and sealed it.

Discuss and wait for the disaster relief matters to be agreed before using the money.

Back to Houya, it was already late.

After running for a day, Hu Qian was also tired, so he asked Yingcai to boil hot water for a good wash.

When Rong Ning'er saw it, he was immediately surprised and said: "Master, didn't you say that you have a plan..."

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry, the arrangements have been made properly.

Come, help me wash my back. "

Rong Ning'er trusted Hu Qian very much, so she stopped asking any more questions, rolled up her sleeves, and carefully wiped Hu Qian's back.

I thought that Hu Qian would definitely take advantage of the maneuver again, but this time Hu Qian was very quiet, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed, as if something was missing from him.

After changing his clothes, Hu Qian suddenly asked, "Where are the white heads?"

Then Baitou ran in along the corner, bowed and said: "Master."

"Go and guard the 5000 taels of silver, and you can't leave day and night."

"Yes! Master, don't worry!"

After speaking, he ran out.

Rong Ning'er said: "Master, do you think someone will go after that money?"

"Probably so."

After all, since the former two county magistrates died inexplicably, it is better to be careful even though there are body protection divine light and golden talisman.

Thinking of this, he immediately waved his hand and engraved the golden talisman on the door and window.

He looked around in the courtyard again, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, then returned to the room, asked Rong Ning'er to put on a veil, went out, sat in the carriage, and walked all the way to the north of the city.

After about a moment, I arrived in front of a house.

Hu Qian asked Hu Jiu to come forward and call the door, saying that Mr. Hu was visiting.

After a while, Hai Daliang came out from the door. When he saw Hu Qian, he immediately cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Master Hu, please."

Hu Qian then let Rong Ning'er enter the door.

When he arrived at the main hall, Hai Daliang stepped back and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is..."

Hu Qian said: "She is my close friend, you just say it."

Hai Daliang said: "Just as my lord expected, the old bustard was a little hesitant at first, I said that if I crossed a village, the shop would be gone, so she nodded in agreement.

Now that the person has been taken to the wing room, I only let a maid serve outside, and no one else knows. "

Hu Qian nodded, "Did the bustard ask anything?"

"No, the old bustard seems to be doing this kind of thing often, very cautious, and didn't ask much at all."

"Anyone else know?"

"I hired a sedan chair, no one should know.

But her status is special, so the news should spread tomorrow. "

Hu Qian smiled and said, "How many people in your residence know about this?"

"The sedan chair goes directly to the door of the wing room, so only I know."

"Where are those bearers? They won't tell. Maybe they have to be able to kill people to silence them."

Hai Daliang was taken aback, too shocked to speak.

Hu Qian laughed, "Don't take it seriously, it's just a joke."

Hai Daliang followed with a dry laugh, but his heart suddenly rose in awe, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Hu Qian said: "Okay, Ning'er, go and see her."

Hai Daliang then asked someone to lead the way, and took Rong Ning'er to the wing.

Entering the inner room, I saw a person sitting silently by the bed. When the person saw someone coming in, he was immediately startled and pulled out the scissors abruptly.

"Don't come here! Otherwise I will die here!"

Rong Ning'er smiled and said, "Sister, it's me!"

When Xue Ningshuang saw it, she immediately smiled and said, "Ning'er, why is it you?"

She immediately seemed to understand, and said in surprise: "That person...was arranged by him?"

Rong Ning'er didn't know at first, but after listening to Hu Qian and Hai Daliang talking for a while in the main hall, she realized that it must be Hu Qian who gave Hai Daliang money to redeem her sister.

Xue Ningshuang's heart warmed at first, then she frowned and said, "But this...it won't work...Even if I come out, I won't be able to escape..."

Rong Ning'er took her hand and said, "Sister, you are talking about Wei Zhixiao, right?"

Xue Ningshuang was shocked immediately, "How do you know? Have you ever gone to him?"

Rong Ning'er said: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, you don't have to worry about his affairs anymore."

"Never again... is he dead?"

"Yes, he got drunk and froze to death on the floor."

Xue Ningshuang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into tears.

Maybe it was the induction between the twins, Rong Ning'er also felt a big stone on her heart, and couldn't help crying.

At first it was just sobbing, but then I wondered if it was thinking of the tragic fate of myself and my family, and gradually burst into tears.

After a while, the two sisters comforted each other and stopped crying.

Rong Ning'er was still worried about implicating Hu Qian, so she couldn't help asking: "Sister, does the bustard know about our affairs?"

Xue Ningshuang shook her head, "Although the bustard has some doubts, she doesn't know."

"Then how did my sister get blackmailed by that villain Wei Zhixiao?"

Xue Ningshuang smiled bitterly: "It's just that I was too stupid and naive back then.

At that time I left Jinling, and I didn't intend to join the Wei family, but before I left the city, all the silver he gave me was stolen by thieves.

In desperation, I had no choice but to rely on the two steamed buns I bought earlier to satisfy my hunger, and I went all the way to Wei's house suffering from hunger.

Wei Zhixiao thought I was a guest at first, and said that it was because of his father's love that he must help me.

Unexpectedly, within two days, he lost money in a bet and wanted to use me to pay off the debt.

I would rather die than obey, so he threatened me with the matter of harboring criminals.

I had no choice but to be sold to Cangchun Building. "

As she spoke, she began to cry again.

Although Rong Ning'er hadn't seen it in person, but hearing what she said at this moment, she also knew the hardships and sorrows.

After all, she is a lady from a family of officials, how could she have suffered such hardships.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Rong Ning'er even felt that her sister would definitely not be able to bear it.

Xue Ningshuang cried for a while and asked, "You have arranged me here now, what do you plan to do next?"

Rong Ning'er said: "Master is planning to arrange you to live here in meditation for a few days, and then take you to the county government after the limelight passes."

Xue Ningshuang shook her head and sighed, "I don't want to go anywhere now, I just want to find a quiet place for a while."

Rong Ning'er said: "That's now, what should we do in the future? You can't live your whole life alone."

Seeing her strange expression, Xue Ningshuang frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I have to get married. Does my sister have a suitable candidate?"

"I don't think about this kind of thing anymore. I used to think that I must find a man who has poetry and books in his stomach and will only love me for the rest of his life.

As a result, he was reduced to a brothel and couldn't help himself.

Thinking about it now, it was still too simple. "

Speaking of this, she suddenly squeezed Rong Ning'er's hand, "How did he treat you?"

"Sister-in-law loves me like a baby, like honey mixed with oil every day, he likes me very much."

Xue Ningshuang nodded, "That's good, it's extremely difficult to get someone who loves you in a lifetime, so cherish it.

Besides, he is now the magistrate of a county, and with his ability, he will surely become famous in the future, so you just follow him well. "

"Sister..." Rong Ning'er looked straight at Xue Ningshuang and said, "Sister should understand what my sister is thinking.

We have never been separated since we were young, and now that my parents and brother are away, how can my younger sister be willing to separate from her elder sister. "

"what do you mean……"

"Sister still means the same thing, not to mention that Dad's last wish has been clearly stated, if the husband saves us from the sea of ​​suffering, he will let us be slaves and concubines.

With a younger sister here, it is impossible for the older sister to be a slave, so it would be nice to just be a concubine. "

"I……"

Since Xue Ningshuang entered the Cangchun Building, her heart was as dead as ashes. In the dead of night, she never thought about what would happen to her in the future.

As far as I can see and know, being able to marry someone else as a concubine is already an excellent result. Most of the women in the brothel are old and fading, and they will die alone.

Even if you are a concubine, because of your background, you will end up being a dwarf.

It would be easier for the master to take good care of her. If the master doesn't care, he will definitely be treated like a servant by the eldest house. If he is not careful, he may be beaten to death.

Xue Ningshuang had the intention to speak at the moment, but when she thought of the determination she had made when she said she didn't want to be a concubine to others, she felt ashamed.

She said she didn't want to be a concubine for others, but in the end it was even difficult to be a concubine.

Although he has still preserved his body, if he really follows Hu Qian, he will inevitably be underestimated by Shen Yuzhen and others.

Thinking of this, the words in her mouth could not come out.

After pausing for a while, he said again: "Poor us sisters don't even have the chance to pay respects to our father, what are you talking about?"

Rong Ning'er said: "Before, my husband asked someone to bring my father's ashes back to Jinling, and now they are enshrined in the Narcissus Temple. If my sister wants to worship, after this matter is over, I will go with my sister."

Xue Ningshuang was taken aback, then nodded, "It can be considered that he has a heart."

Rong Ning'er said: "What is this? If Xianggong hadn't been for our family, he might have been granted the title of Marquis by now."

Xue Ningshuang looked at her in disbelief, "How do you say that?"

"Sister, do you know about the murder of Minister of the Ministry of Justice?"

"Slightly heard."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was killed, none of the officials in the capital could solve the case, and it was Jin Yiwei who invited Xianggong to solve this big case.

In the end, the emperor personally summoned him, saying that he could help him realize any wish he wanted.

Sister, can you guess what Xianggong said? "

"You just said it was for our family, but I really don't understand..."

"My lord asks the emperor to pardon my father's crimes, so that my brother can return to his homeland, and our family can see the light of day again."

When Xue Ningshuang heard this, she immediately froze in place, and after a while, she hugged Rong Ning'er and began to cry.

"Why should he...

Anyway, our sisters have disappeared from this world..."

"It doesn't matter to us, but Father Jiuquan, after knowing this, how happy he should be.

And my brother, I no longer have to suffer in the bitter cold and barren land..."

Xue Ningshuang said: "Don't say anything else, I must thank him face to face."

Rong Ning'er wiped away her tears and said: "Sanggong knows that you are still worried about the previous things, so I just let me comfort you, you can't see him now."

Xue Ningshuang said: "Then you thank him for me first."

Rong Ning'er said: "This is no problem.

So my sister is willing to be with my sister, isn't it? "

Xue Ningshuang blushed, "This...let me think about it."

Rong Ning'er said: "Sister, please stay here, it's getting late, I'll come to see you in two days."

When she was about to leave, Xue Ningshuang suddenly thought of something, grabbed her and said, "You should also take care of your body, don't overwork yourself."

Rong Ning'er didn't react for a while, and asked strangely: "What do I have to be tired of?"

Xue Ningshuang's face turned even redder, and she whispered: "Anyway, don't do it too often, my side really..."

Rong Ning'er was taken aback for a moment, then she understood, leaned into her ear and said, "There is no way to do this, Mr. Xianggong came to Guobei County to take office, so he brought me alone.

He wants to love me and make out with me, how can I still refuse? This is not the way to be a concubine.

If Sister Yuzhen and the others find out, they will definitely ridicule me severely.

Besides, Xianggong is very talented, so there will be no problem. "

Xue Ningshuang patted her feigned anger, "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Okay, sister, experience it well, if you can't bear it, just tell me yes, I will definitely save my sister in dire straits."

Saying that, he dodged Xue Ningshuang's beating with a short body, and walked out quickly.

Back in the main hall, Hu Qian was talking about Wang Shengdong with Hai Daliang, and when he couldn't leave, he said goodbye and left.

However, after returning to the backyard of the county office, I faintly felt a strange feeling in my heart.

Not a moment later, Baitou ran in in a panic and shouted: "Master, it's bad, the silver has been stolen!"
