reborn widow

Chapter 27

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanshan blurted out, "Are you hiding from Song Ziqiao?"

Gui Qingqing nodded, and Qin Yanshan said anxiously: "You couple are really real, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'd like to mention it to Magistrate Ma."

Gui Qingqing said: "Da Lang said that the Song family is quite famous in Qingpu County, and it was Mr. Qin who mentioned it to Ma County Magistrate. I'm afraid that Ma County Magistrate will be embarrassed..."

Qin Huaide hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Qin Yanshan looked at the two younger sisters who hadn't left the court, and didn't want to say, the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, her granddaughter, it's just that she couldn't recognize each other, how could she let others bully her?She hurriedly asked Chen Lan.

Chen Lan said with a smile: "I know about this! When Sister Qing and Li Dalang got married, Song Ziqiao even sent 1000 taels of gold. He thought..." Although she was straightforward, she was not careless. Thinking of the next words It's really hard to say that I'm a girl, so I just shut up.

The old lady and Qin Huaide were sophisticated, and when they heard that they had given away 1000 taels of gold, they felt that it was not an easy matter. However, both mother and son felt disgusted by this kind of upstart behavior of Zheng Qianjin, who was rich and powerful, but it was obviously not appropriate to ask further questions at this time...

It happened that a servant girl came in and said: "Old lady, madam, dinner is ready, should I serve it now, or..."

The old lady smiled and said: "Set the meal, let's do it now, Lan'er, take your sister Qing to wash up, let's eat right away, you are tired all the way, so you can rest early after eating."

Seeing that they didn't pursue further, Gui Qingqing felt a little regretful, but the future is long, and there will always be opportunities in the future.

After washing, Gui Qingqing and Chen Lan came to the living room. The Qin family had already sat down and was waiting for them to take their seats. After Gui Qingqing pleaded guilty, she was pulled to sit beside her by the old lady. I don’t know if it’s because she, the guest, has added dishes. There are shredded chicken and white fungus, eight-treasure rabbit, jade shoots and bracken, deep-fried quail, braised red shellfish, five-spice sauce chicken, salt water tenderloin, red oil duck, and spicy noodles. , braised straw mushrooms in oil, white fungus in pepper oil, etc.

Rich and noble families have different dining rules. It is not once or twice that Gui Qingqing and Chen Lan dine together. From time to time, Shi helped Guiqing Qingbucai, and Qin Huaide's two aunts, who were not qualified to eat at the table, were all waiting on the sidelines.

Seeing them, Gui Qingqing couldn't help but think of her former self, and she lost her appetite for this meal. She felt that she and Li Song's small family is better, there are not so many rules, it is warm and sweet, even if it is a simple meal every day, it is happy to eat, As soon as she arrived at Qin's house, she actually felt homesick...

The old lady hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Qingqing? But this dish doesn't taste right?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "The food is naturally good, but I used snacks on the way, so I am not hungry."

The old lady pays attention to health preservation, and knows that dinner should be eaten less, so she didn't force it. She just used up the meal for a while, and after talking, the old lady dismissed everyone, leaving only Chen Lan and Gui Qingqing, and then she took Gui Qingqing to the table. Sitting down beside him, he asked, "We haven't finished what we said before, so please tell me carefully, what happened to that Song?"

Given such an opportunity, Gui Qingqing of course refused to miss it, so she told all the things Song Ziqiao had done, and the old lady couldn't help being angry, "Where's your husband? He can't protect you, what's the use of having such a man? "

Gui Qingqing hurriedly said: "The old lady misunderstood, my husband naturally hated him, but Song Ziqiao was a nobleman after all, and my husband didn't dare to do anything to him, but he was the head of the yamen, he said the investigation Some evidence of Song Ziqiao's crimes came out..."

The old lady said: "It's not too stupid..."

Gui Qingqing suddenly asked: "Old lady, I have something I want to ask you for advice."

"Oh? What's the matter? Just ask."

"Old lady, I just want to ask... who is King Xin?"

When the old lady heard the name of the king, she immediately changed her color, "What do you want to know about him?"

"Yes... my husband once mentioned Song Ziqiao in a dream, and said what happened to him and King Xin... I asked him the next day, and he must have said that I heard it wrong... I was ignorant in the country, and I didn't hear anything. Whoever talked about King Xin, today I mentioned Song Ziqiao to the old lady, and it immediately came up, so I wanted to ask."

The old lady hurriedly said: "It's okay not to mention the name of King Xin. After a day's journey, let's rest earlier."

Gui Qingqing nodded, she knew the truth that too much is too late, so she just mentioned this, and that's all, but when Gui Qingqing withdrew, the old lady's face was still changing.

But Li Song, he has never been easy these days. After getting the treasure map, he returned to Qingpu County in a hurry. Li Song couldn't help frowning because of this matter. Before he left Qingpu County, he went to Wang Laoshi according to his wife's instructions, and reminded him that getting a jade mine is not necessarily a good thing. A poor man who suddenly got a treasure is like Like a child walking on the street with gold in his arms, it is very dangerous. Unfortunately, Wang Laoshi didn't listen to it, thinking he was uneasy and kind, but he didn't finish a few words, Wang Laoshi kicked him out of the house, if he Be patient then, maybe...

Li Song sighed, Wang Laoshi's death once again verified his wife's words, and Li Song didn't dare to slack off.

When the night fell, Li Song came to Longyun Restaurant. Du Xiaopu and Chen Tong had already been waiting here. When the three of them met, Du Xiaopu smiled and said, "Catcher Li, did you get rich after going out for a few days? Why?" Treating guests here? The price here is not cheap!"

Li Song said with a smile: "Although I have never made a fortune, it is not a problem to treat you and brother Chen to a meal."

Chen Tong on the side smiled and said, "The head catcher likes to be polite, but I like..."

Li Song scolded with a smile, and Chen Tong said in a low voice: "Don't worry about arresting the chief, everything you entrusted to us is done."

Li Song nodded, several people entered the private room, and Du Xiaopu gave him what Li Song wanted.The food and drink were served, and after drinking for three rounds, Du Xiaopu smiled and said: "I don't know if I don't check, that guy is really ruthless, arresting the head, what are you going to do? When will it be launched? Their family is very rich, If it takes a long time and they accidentally overturn it, we..."

Li Song interrupted him: "How is it possible? Didn't you see the eldest son of the magistrate's family a few days ago?" He purposely spoke vaguely. Du Xiaopu and Chen Tong always thought that Song Ziqiao had offended Qin Yanshan.

Chen Tong laughed and said: "I don't know why this kid is so short-sighted, anyone dares to offend! By the way, how did I hear that Mrs. Sister-in-law went to Qingzhou Mansion? Is it true?"

When Li Song thought of his neighbor, it was probably that Wang Zhenzhen said it. He couldn't help but sneered, and then said: "That's right, Mr. Qin's cousin has to make some kind of friendship with Jinlan..."

Chen Tong laughed when he heard the words: "Catcher, it's a matter between men to marry Jinlan, how can a woman marry Jinlan?"

Li Song gave him a white look, "She's not just a man! The first time I saw her, she was still wearing men's clothes! When I stepped forward, she was flirting. If Qin Yanshan didn't stop me, I would almost have beaten her!"

When Du Xiaopu and Chen Tong heard this, their hearts were finally relieved. In order to appease them, Li Song said with a smile: "The Song family is a big fish. They eat meat, so we have to make some soup at that time." drink……"

Chen Tong said with a smile: "I agree with arresting the head. With our monthly salary alone, we can't drink the northwest wind? The magistrate of Ma County has just taken office, and we are not allowed to fish. These days are really hard for us."

Li Song was surprised, "Fishing? What is fishing?"

Du Xiaopu and Chen Tong both drank less, and when the head catcher asked, they didn't hide it, and the two of them told each other about fishing.

Chen Tong said with a smile: "There are several ways of fishing. Let me talk about live fishing first, which is to find a rogue from out of town, then pretend that he is a fugitive, and then choose an honest and timid family, and let this pretended fugitive pretend to be a fisherman." People fleeing famine, ask to take them in. As long as this family takes them in, even if they don’t give money, it’s okay. As long as the person caught is kind or greedy, they will stay in the future, and then we will come later. A charge of harboring fugitives, Of course I can't run away!"

When Li Song heard this, he felt quite uncomfortable. This time, the family would go bankrupt. "What do you mean by that? Could it be that there is still dead fishing?"

"Of course." Du Xiaopu said with a belch, "dead fishing is even easier. You only need to find an unknown corpse. It is best to die of illness and hunger. Take advantage of the dark to transport the corpse to the place where the fish is caught." At the door of that house, when his house didn't open the next day, we'll knock on the door, and a murder case will be committed on his house right away. At this time, there is a corpse, and they are covered in mouths, and they can't tell, and the money will come naturally. Now, they will have to thank you a thousand times at that time... But corpses are not so easy to find these days."

Li Song asked: "So, besides live fishing and dead fishing, are there other ways?"

"Yes, yes, of course. You should know, headhunters. People who travel outside usually carry some money with them, and they don't have family members by their side. It is inevitable that they will be greedy. Let's find a good prostitute and pretend to be a good girl. Running away or getting lost, if someone is greedy and takes advantage of a prostitute, our people will immediately come to the door to catch him on the spot, saying that he is abducted, and then even bluffing and deceitful, hehe, all the money on him must be taken away. Hollowing out... this is called pigeon fishing."

Li Song had indeed heard about this kind of thing when he was wandering outside, but he didn't expect his subordinates to do it now, and he couldn't feel annoyed for a while. How is this kind of behavior different from that of Song Ziqiao?But he couldn't get angry again, he was unhappy, and unknowingly drank a few more glasses, thinking that if Song Ziqiao was moved down, he might as well take Qingqing home to farm.
