Xiao Ming took two steps and let Bai Xiaoyu and Yunling support her to sit down. Jiang Xiangyuan also sat down, but she kept talking. During the five days that Xiao Ming was recovering from her injuries, she was Xiao Ming's eyes, and she was the one who brought peace to Pingcheng. Report everything that happened in recent days to Xiao Ming in detail.
The most exciting thing in Pingcheng in recent days is the case in which an uncle and nephew of the Mo family were deceived and Liu Fugui was arrested. For the peaceful and peaceful Pingcheng, this was a huge case.
"One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. If Liu Fugui cannot hand it over, he will inevitably be imprisoned. It is a pity that the Holy Ancestor Emperor has canceled the death penalty. Otherwise, people like him should be taken to Caishikou and beheaded to bring peace to everyone. Hatred in my heart." Speaking of Liu Fugui, Jiang Xiangyuan looked indignant.
Xiao Ming looked at her coldly, can I understand that you are dissatisfied with our benevolent Holy Ancestor Emperor...
"Prefect Peng is probably very anxious."
"Don't worry, the uncles and nephews of the Mo family kneel in the government office every day and call out to Mr. Qingtian. There are many people in the city watching the excitement and supporting the uncles and nephews of the Mo family. There are even several celebrities who go to the government office to pay a visit to Mr. Peng. Magistrate Peng I was so anxious that my eyes were red. I interrogated Liu Fugui every day, and he was already living in the yamen. I heard that Liu Fugui was beaten to pieces all over his body, and he even bit him to death and refused to hand over the money."
Hahaha, it’s strange that he can hand over money.
Xiao Ming was noncommittal. It was true that the uncles and nephews of the Mo family were anxious, and it was true that Magistrate Peng was eager to solve the case, but I just didn't know how much he wanted to do justice to the people.
Peng Youqin's term will expire next year. He has served two consecutive terms in Pingcheng. Compared with the prosperous Kyoto and the prosperity of coastal cities, Pingcheng is really just a small place. He has been sitting on the bench for two terms. He is in the prime of his life. No matter how impatient he is, this case will be his advantage.
If the case is solved, the person will rise to the top, but if the case cannot be solved, the person will be doomed.
"Tell me, should we..." Jiang Xiangyuan approached Xiao Ming and gestured with her little hands. Before she finished speaking, her eyes were shining, and Xiao Ming knew what she meant.
Liu Fugui couldn't hand over the missing 130,000 taels of silver, and Peng Youqin couldn't find it. She naturally knew it. If she and Xia Xiaoba hadn't seen it with their own eyes, she wouldn't have believed who had it.
I'm afraid no one in Pingcheng would believe it if she said it.
Who would believe that the person who stabbed you in the end was his own brother?
Xiao Ming shook her head slowly. The time had not come yet. The steamed buns had to be fermented before they would be delicious. Let Magistrate Peng worry about this matter as a reward for not reporting the attack.
Jiang Xiangyuan silently lit a candle for the anxious Magistrate Peng, and even predicted that Magistrate Peng would be miserable when he could not find any money and could not solve the case. Poor Magistrate Peng, as a parent, was so depressed.
"Let Xia Xiaoba keep an eye on her and don't let the duck fly away." Xiao Ming pointedly warned, and Jiang Xiangyuan nodded knowingly.
"Well, don't even think about running away as a fly." Jiang Xiangyuan gritted her teeth and showed a fierce look in her eyes. Her appearance made Bai Xiaoyu stare at her curiously, not understanding what was wrong with the senior sister.
"Liu Fugui is extremely conscientious, and Liu Fushun is ruthless. No one can escape." Jiang Xiangyuan, who is familiar with the truth, knows better than anyone else that Liu Fushun is a sweet-faced and dark-hearted master.
Until now, his elder brother is in jail. As his younger brother, Liu Fushun has actually staged a drama of exterminating relatives out of justice. Not only did he scold his brother for stealing wine and selling it without telling him, but he also did such an unreasonable thing. He also asked the prefect to be fair. Handle cases. He even visited Mo's uncle and nephew in person, in the name of pleading guilty for his brother. In everyone's eyes, the hypocritical Liu Fushun was a kind and righteous person, and he could be regarded as a role model for the younger generation.
It's a pity that this role model has an unhappy and evil brother.
Everyone knew that Liu Fugui was dead, but Liu Fushun gained full sympathy and praise for his misfortune. In Xiao Ming's eyes, these two brothers were two extremes.
"He can't run away either. The sky net is vast and sparse." Xiao Ming held the silver spoon and slowly stirred the red dates in the white porcelain cup.
She lost a lot of blood, so Song specially put dates in her tea, and also added longan and other blood-tonifying ingredients for her to drink and play with every day.
It’s impossible not to drink.
From afar, Wang Yunling brought a piece of food from the kitchen, and the fragrant smell could be heard from afar.
Xiao Ming's face changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Danggui blood-boosting soup...
This was the source of her pain.
Recuperate, heal.
Either peanut and pig trotters soup, angelica blood-tonifying soup, red dates and squab soup, ginseng stewed old hen... all kinds of soups, different every day.
What she drank was not soup, but love.
I heard that Mrs. Song and Mother Yi were discussing last night about cutting up the 500-year-old ginseng at home and making soup...
Xiao Ming, whose face was already flushed and full of energy, could only helplessly extend his hand.
No……
In the blink of an eye, Bai Xiaoyu had opened the white porcelain cup, gently stirred the soup inside, waited until it was no longer hot, then gently scooped it up and handed it to Xiao Ming's mouth.
"Auntie, it's not hot anymore." Open your mouth when the meal comes, the best service, come on, little darling, have a meal...
It's just that the earnest and pitiful little eyes have a strong meaning that if you don't drink, I will cry for you.
Xiao Ming: "..." I was stared at so hard that I didn't dare to say a word.
I dare not resist at all.
Looking at that weak and boneless little look, Xiao Mingtu transformed into a hungry wolf, grabbed the bowl, and drank it himself.
Don't be such a bully.
Jiang Xiangyuan shivered inexplicably, maybe she was forced to go to Liangshan!
Wang Yunling carried the empty white porcelain Gu away with satisfaction, leaving Bai Xiaoyu to accompany her carefully, watching the girl and the senior sister discuss things, and listened obediently.
"Girl, Liu Sanlang and Miss Zhou are here again." Li'er walked in.
Xiao Ming and Jiang Xiangyuan looked at each other, both frowning.
"It's really endless! Where's Sangu's thatched cottage?" Jiang Xiangyuan snorted dissatisfied and was about to ask Li'er to send them away.
"No hurry, only Miss Zhou and Liu Fushun?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Yeah." Li'er nodded.
Liu Sanlang is Liu Fushun, Zhou Lianrong's husband.
Xiao Ming was silent for a moment. This person Xiao Ming did not want to see.
She and Zhou Lianrong narrowly escaped death. Zhou Lianrong was fine. She only suffered some minor injuries. She caught the wind and cold when she went home and recovered after two days. However, she was injured and almost died. She had to lie down for five days before she could get out of bed. Bed moving.
After recovering from her illness, Zhou Lianrong rushed to Xiao's house, but she didn't see Xiao Ming once. She didn't give up and actually came here every day, and today was exactly three days. Regarding this matter, Xiao Ming did not blame Zhou Lianrong, and Zhou Lianrong was even implicated by her, but Liu Fushun was different.
She didn't know where Liu Fushun got the courage to dare to set foot in Xiao's house. Who gave him the courage to come to Xiao's house after beating him so hard that he didn't remember the lesson.
Yes, it was given by the Zhou family.
And the good reputation given by countless people in Pingcheng.
Liu Fushun, amazing!
The more this happened, the more Xiao Ming felt that this person was deep, hypocritical, and scary.
Thinking of the speculation Shi Tingyu gave her the day before yesterday, the two people they encountered were obviously not from the same group. The two people killed by Shi Tingyu's arrow were from Pingcheng, and they were wearing clothes from the Zhou family. .
It's really strange.
Unfortunately, she was too seriously injured at the time, so Shi Tingyu took her back to the city, and the two people were said to have been taken back by the Zhou family. If it were in her hands, she would go out and knock Liu off his horse. .
It’s not you, it’s you, don’t even think about running away!
It was precisely because of this incident that Zhou Lianrong came to visit one after another, probably because she felt guilty.
Poor girl.
After thinking about Zhou Lianrong, who had a life-long friendship with her, Xiao Ming finally nodded: "Please come in, Miss Zhou, and let Uncle Ming entertain Liu Sanlang to drink tea in the side hall and wait."
"Good reception!" Finally, Xiao Ming warned again.
