Chapter 268: The Sword Goes Sideways (Part II)

"No, it's not me, I don't, you let me go, otherwise my grandfather will never let you go if he knows that you tied me up!"

After Hou Xing'er finished asking, the panic on Li Pei's face flashed away, so fast that it was almost invisible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But Hou Xing'er rescued her brother this time in order to interrogate her, so she didn't let go of the slightest movement on her face during the questioning.

"If you don't say it, I'll let you taste life is worse than death!" Hou Xing'er gestured to several masked people behind her, and then turned around to leave the cave.

When she walked out of the cave, she also said coldly: "My brother's life is not guaranteed now, my mother and I have no support, what am I afraid of!" Even if I let these people force you, I forgive you for not daring to say it. When the time comes, I will keep the profanity and clothing on your body, and if you dare to speak out about it, I will spread the word that your name has been lost. ”

At this time, the four masked men had already approached Li Pei and tore up her clothes.

As soon as she moved to the real thing, Li Pei was really scared in her heart, and she trembled and was scared to pee. So before Hou Xing'er walked out of the cave, she had already recruited everything she should have recruited. Later, Hou Xing'er asked her to write out the accusation she instructed her brother Hou Huzi, and she also wrote it down obediently.

After Hou Xing'er finished these things, Li Yao hurried over, and Fu Jingheng came with her. When she came, Fu Jingheng was waiting for her outside.

knew that Li Pei instructed Hou Huzi to do it, and the next thing was to find the government to withdraw the case. Of course, this case is not withdrawn, and the Li family still needs to deal with the warden of the county government to handle the case.

Li Yao will not wait to see Li Pei again, and she will also take care of the reputation of the Li family. So she finally made the decision to withdraw the case. As long as she has Li Pei's confession in her hand, with this confession, if Li Pei thinks of the moth again in the future, she won't have the courage to think about it.

Li Pei was exposed, and she also pulled Li Da out, and the two sisters and brothers did this kind of thing, which simply didn't make Li Jimin angry.

Regarding the withdrawal of the case, Li Yao did not take the silver, but only said that all the money in his hand was used. Therefore, in order to withdraw the case, the Li family ran around to do something, spending all their own money, and the reason for the withdrawal of the case was not good for outsiders, only saying that the family was unlucky. As for Hou Huzi, the Li family also has to compensate others.

In this regard, Mrs. Li and Li Mingqing punished Li Pei and Li Da a lot. Mrs. Li Da is more painful, but Li Mingqing and Li Jimin are not biased. These two people were directly grounded for three months, and during the three months, one of them had to copy the female precepts, and the other had to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and if they didn't copy well, Li Jimin had to beat their handboards.

It was indeed not easy to withdraw the case, because of the Li family's withdrawal of the case, and later the wardens of the criminal ward repeatedly questioned Li Pei and Li Da about the case of our restaurant being burned, and suspected that these two people did it.

The wardener also wanted to crack the case quickly, after all, the case of burning our restaurant involved a life and death that I didn't know. That life naturally belonged to Master Lu. But Li Yao and the warden are not close acquaintances, and it can't be said that he is the one who interrogates Qiu Yue like he kidnapped Li Pei.

So in the end, it was that day that Song came forward to help Li Yao solve this matter.

That day, Song had people tie up Qiu Yue and Qiu Yue's personal maids, and the movement caused by this was indeed not small. Of course, he tied up Qiu Yue and his maid, so naturally he wouldn't let people know that he did it.

Even if Governor Cheng suspects Li Yao, Li Yao has nothing to do, he has no evidence, and there is nothing he can do with Li Yao.

Later, he sent a lot of people to find Qiu Yue and her personal maid, and also reported to the official. However, in order to protect his face when reporting to the official, Governor Cheng only said that Qiu Yue's personal maid was lost, and did not say that his concubine was lost.

If you want to confess alone, there are ways to do it, and Qiu Yue and her personal maid finally couldn't stand the various punishments given by the people of Narisong, but they also confessed. In addition to asking Qiu Yue and her personal maid to confess to the place where Master Lu was hiding, Ri Song also asked a lot about Governor Cheng.

These things don't seem to work now, but he thinks they will be useful sooner or later. Fortunately, Qiuyue did not hide Master Lu in the Governor's Mansion, and later knew that Master Lu was hiding somewhere in the county seat, so Risong handed a letter to the government with Jianling, and quickly found Master Lu.

After Master Lu was found, the person who was in charge of Master Lu and the person who forced Master Lu to ask about the recipe also surfaced, and then after Master Lu's identification, he quickly found the chef of Risheng Restaurant. When the matter came to this, Governor Cheng naturally surfaced.

After Governor Cheng surfaced, the case of our shop being burned down was deadlocked there, and there was no progress. Risheng Restaurant is under the name of Governor Cheng, but it is Qiuyue and a steward of the Cheng family who can manage Risheng Restaurant. Of course, Governor Cheng pushed things on Qiu Yue and the steward, after all, Governor Cheng was busy with official business every day, and he really didn't have time to run and take care of the restaurant, and after all, the people in the government had no direct evidence to prove that Governor Cheng did this case.

Since there is no direct evidence that Governor Cheng instructed the crime, Governor Cheng will at most lose people and reputation, but he will not lose his office, so the people in the government still dare not completely offend Governor Cheng. For this reason, the people of the government can only follow what Governor Cheng said, and put the blame on the steward and Qiu Yue.

And even now, Qiu Yue and her personal maid have not been found.

That Risong could help Li Yao find out Master Lu, but he didn't want to get involved in the court disputes, and he didn't want to expose his whereabouts by putting back Qiu Yue and his personal maid, so in the end, the guilt of burning our restaurant was pressed on the head of the steward of the family and Qiu Yue, of course, the chef of Risheng Restaurant was not spared, just because he picked Master Lu's tesuji when he asked Master Lu for a recipe.

In addition, in order to save his reputation and prove to the outside world that it was not the case he instructed to do, Governor Cheng also pretended to pay 3,000 taels to our family restaurant. It stands to reason that there is no need to give so much silver.

In addition to compensating for the losses caused by the fire in our restaurant, the three thousand taels of compensation are also compensated for Master Lu. After Master Lu was kidnapped, in order to force him to hand over the recipe, the chef of Risheng Restaurant tortured him a lot.

It is good to have these compensation silver, but it is also regrettable that Master Lu's hand tendon was broken. If a cook can't cook, it's already completely ruined.

And with the understanding of the case of the burning of our restaurant, Risheng Restaurant closed the door directly, and Narisong sold Qiuyue to the most remote tribe in Beiliang as a slave girl through Agoura's people, and went with Qiuyue's personal maid. Since then, Qiuyue has never appeared in Datai again until Governor Cheng has an accident.

And the case of Qiuyue's personal maid disappearance has also become an unsolved case. (To be continued.) )
