Chapter 64: Shopkeeper Liu
Like a boat that was pushed into the sea, Mother Li was farther and farther away from the shore by a few waves, no matter how majestic she was before, it was not a small black spot that was getting farther and farther away at this time, and it was impossible for people on the shore to see clearly.
And Shopkeeper Lai and them are another boat that has just been pushed into the sea, You Xiaoya sits on the shore leisurely carrying a rope that controls their future, and the end of the rope is tied to the boat that Shopkeeper Lai is on.
If You Xiaoya stretched out her hand to pull the boat back at this time, then they would be able to go ashore safely, if You Xiaoya let go, then they could only face the same fate as Mother Li, being pushed into the distance by one wave after another.
Although the distance is at most to leave the Jin family and be taken into the county government again, but after thinking about it carefully, since You Xiaoya knows that they have been greedy for the Jin family over the years, then according to her unpredictable appearance now, maybe she will let them spit out all the principal and interest, and they don't know the way back.
Just like before, no one knows how she made the county lord ignore the power of the Cai family and suppress the Cai family, and no one knows why she was able to send Tian Qi to the county government prison in a bright and bright manner, but now there is no news.
It's like no one knows, why did she show off her martial arts a few days ago, and she commanded hundreds of people up and down the Jin family with a majestic attitude, how did she become such a lost soul and lost her life now?
"Madame, forgive ......" After a period of silence, Shopkeeper Liu suddenly bowed down and made a big salute to You Xiaoya. And when he said this, although his voice was a handful of years, he could hear something bottomless.
"Why is Shopkeeper Liu like this?" You Xiaoya raised her eyes. Although there were doubts in his voice, his black and white eyes were as calm as water, as if he had expected such a scene to happen.
"Madame forgive the sin, there is a matter that must be explained to Madame, and please have a large amount of Madame, and give it to the next one!"
The reason why Shopkeeper Liu is like this is not that he really sincerely repents. It's because he is among the four shopkeepers Lai, Liu, and Li's mother. But whenever there is a share of the money, because the time of coming to the Jin family is not long, he gets the least share, so he thinks that his punishment is not so heavy, secondly. He's just betting. Bet that You Xiaoya now needs a step down.
And the reason why he had such an idea was only because when You Xiaoya was provoking Mother Li and Shopkeeper Lai, the cover-up in her tone seemed to be true and false, and he thought that it was a sign that You Xiaoya was trying to win them over.
"Shopkeeper Liu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." You Xiaoya calmly put down the tea cup in her hand, and her tone was very calm.
"That's ......" Then Shopkeeper Liu said that he had been greedy for some of the Jin family's money like Li's mother over the years, quite sincerely and shamefully.
In the end, he burst into tears and showed that he was a money obsesser who should not do something, which simply insulted the trust of the old lady of the Jin family in him, but he also made a point of emphasis. That is, he has never been greedy, and he has decided to change his ways. And he is willing to return all the money he was greedy for back to the Jin family, and then repay the Jin family and You Xiaoya as a cow and a horse.
You Xiaoya listened to these things that Shopkeeper Liu said with goosebumps all over her body, aside from the exaggerated things in his words, You Xiaoya understood that this Shopkeeper Liu was actually quite a master, from beginning to end he didn't mention Shopkeeper Lai and Shopkeeper Qin, but mentioned several incidents of his greed for money.
You Xiaoya is not stupid, she naturally knows that Shopkeeper Liu is telling her that she can find more handles about Mother Li and others in these things, she doesn't know how useful these handles are, but at least there is a purpose that allows her to spend less effort to find someone who can send Mother Li to the county government, completely breaking her idea of being a powerful person in the Jin family.
Of course, this is also to point out the handle of the shopkeeper Lai and the shopkeeper Qin.
"Hearing Shopkeeper Liu say this, Mrs. Ben was really a little surprised, but I didn't expect Mother Li to ......"
Speaking of this, You Xiaoya took another account book, neatly turned to the account book of one of the things that Shopkeeper Liu said, and after a pause, she looked up at Lai Yun and Shopkeeper Qin, who were colorless and anxious and shocked, and then continued calmly and slowly:
"I've really saved a lot of private money over the years!" In You Xiaoya's sarcastic tone, she didn't mention Lai Yun, didn't mention Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Qin, only mentioned Mother Li, which suddenly made everyone in the courtyard stunned, including Liu Tong, who was a notary public on the side, he was also a little confused.
In other words, didn't the shopkeeper Liu just volunteer to show that he was also a greedy person for money? Then why is it that when you hear You Xiaoya's words now, it seems that he will not be held responsible? What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?
Hearing You Xiaoya say this, Mother Li, who was already stunned, suddenly shook her body, and she was struggling to pounce towards You Xiaoya, and her voice, which was not very good, was now even sharper and higher in volume, and cursed loudly towards You Xiaoya:
"You little slut! I won't let you go! The old lady won't let you go, I'm going to find the old lady to judge—"
However, Li's mother's actions did not really let her succeed, because the next moment her actions were caught by Lai Yun and Qin Shopkeeper next to her, and at this time, Lai Yun and Qin Shopkeeper were even more completely untouched in their hearts.
What does this mean, ma'am? Didn't you let them go?
"Liu Zhutou, you see that the evidence is conclusive now, what should Mother Li do?" However, before everyone could figure out what You Xiaoya was thinking, she turned around, but respectfully asked Liu Tongtong on the side.
"According to the law of my Qi Zhou Dynasty, I want to bring the prisoner back to the county office, and wait for him to give evidence in the future, and then make a judgment!" When Liu Tong heard You Xiaoya say this, he immediately came back to his senses, and returned to You Xiaoya according to the script.
"In this case, there will be a shopkeeper Liu Liu and Liu Zhutou to go to the county government together, but you can rest assured, since you have repentance, my Jin family is not a place that cannot tolerate people, to clarify the importance of the matter, if you can still be accommodating in law and reason, you have been in my Jin family for many years, there is no merit and hard work, if you are still willing, you will return to my Jin family, so what does the shopkeeper Liu think?"
You Xiaoya was talking to Shopkeeper Liu in a completely consultative tone, of course, the meaning of her words was also clearly thrown an olive branch to Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Liu was made by You Xiaoya's sudden grace to make his heart tense for a while, but he still came back to his senses very quickly, and hurriedly thanked her.
