Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sophistry

Liu Jian's mouth was yellow, and Liu Gang's family was angry when they heard it, especially Liu E, who almost shouted.

"Liu Jian, you are talking nonsense, you won't even let me out of the door, for fear that I will ruin the reputation of your Liu family, where can I find a man!"

"Liu E, don't think that when your brother comes, your wings will be stiff, His Royal Highness the county lord is the most fair, you can think clearly, what will be the consequences of talking nonsense!"

When Liu E heard this, she smiled instead, and she knelt down towards Qu Miaoling.

"What His Royal Highness the county lord said is true, just now Liu Jian said that I stole men, but the conscience of heaven and earth, since I entered the mansion, then Liu Jian put me in a small courtyard, except for the old woman who sent food, no one else went in and out."

Liu E burst into tears.

Hearing it softly, she became more sympathetic, she looked at Qu Miaoling and said: "Miss, this woman is too miserable, if she marries into that scholar's family, not to mention worry-free food and clothing, it is also a loving husband and a child, where will it be miserable!" ”

Qingwen may have thought of her mother's tragic situation, and her voice was choked.

Qu Miaoling naturally knew the gentle past, and the gentle mother was also snatched home by the ruffians, but her mother was unwilling, but she was still ruined.

Qing's mother went crazy, and her father sold her again, so she entered the Hou Mansion and became her playmate.

So, when Qu Miaoling looked at Liu E, she couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Listening to Liu E and Liu Jian biting each other, the whites of Wen's eyes almost turned to the sky, she was already very dissatisfied with Liu Jian's uncle and nephew who had a loose mouth, and now, she was even more dissatisfied with Liu Jian, who bullied even women.

However, the most important thing now is not to punish these two, but to get them out, at least not under Qu Miaoling's hands, otherwise the ugly things she did will be exposed sooner or later.

In order to strangle this source, Wen said angrily: "Qu Miaoling, are you idle, if you are too idle, go to the account room to look at the account book, learn more about the input expenditure in the house, no matter how bad it is, go to the shop Zhuangzi below to take a look, so as not to be fooled and lose the money of the Hou Mansion, don't talk about me at that time, even the Hou Ye will not depend on you!" ”

Wen's mouth is prickly.

Qu Miaoling replied quietly: "Since my father willingly handed over the housekeeping to me, I must believe in Miaoling, and even if my daughter loses money, she will find a way to plug the hole, but unlike her mother, she did something wrong, let the accounts in the house be empty, and her father licked his face to beg his daughter to help, mother, don't you panic?" ”

As she spoke, Qu Miaoling also touched her face.

When Wen saw it, he felt as if he had been beaten, and the color on his face changed.

"You little hairy girl, how dare you be disrespectful to your mother?"

Wen Shi trembled and pointed at Qu Miaoling, "Master Hou handed over the housekeeping power to you, he is really blind, a master who even has to take care of the housework of his subordinates, can still know what matters are fed, I'm afraid it will only be trivial!" ”

"Mother, if you can't even deal with trivial matters, then what ability do you have to manage the middle feed in the house?"

"You-" Wen stared angrily, Qu Miaoling didn't care.

She turned around and let Liu E, who was kneeling, gently help her up, and said in a soft voice: "Liu E, tell me, how are you doing in that Liu Mansion?" What is the situation in Liu Jian's family? Can the degree of food and clothing be comparable to that of the Hou Mansion? ”

Qu Miaoling's series of questions came out, and Liu E was a little panicked, but after glancing at her brother with firm eyes, her eyes were full of trust when she looked at Qu Miaoling.

"Back to the county lord, the folk woman was tied to Liu's mansion for more than two years, in the first half of the year, Liu Jian's brute was not bad to the folk girl, but this kind of good is only the same as livestock, if you are happy, you will give a bone, and if you are unhappy, you will be beaten and angry."

Recalling the sad events of the year, Liu E's tone slowed down, and there was crying in her voice.

Obviously, that past is hard to look back on.

"At the beginning, Liu Jian liked the body of the people's daughters, and often bought jewelry for the people's girls, although the women were poor, but they also knew that the jewelry was priceless, and it was not at all something that his nephew who was a housekeeper could buy, and then one day, Liu Jian came back drunk, picked up the whip on the wall and beat the people's women, beating them to death, and muttering that they lost five hundred taels today, all of which were the bad luck brought by your little prostitute."

Liu Gang listened to it on the side, and his tears had long since collapsed.

"Later, Liu Jian didn't come to the women's house, the women were very happy, and finally they didn't have to suffer from this beast anymore, but the good times didn't last long, one day, a group of servants rushed into the courtyard, took the slaves and maids to the yard and beat them, saying that the women were disaster stars, and they would harm the people in Liu's house, and the women lost consciousness and were locked up in the firewood room, and never came out again."

Liu E's confession is over, Liu Gang's family is crying so much that they can't stand up straight, if it weren't for Liu Gang, Liu Gang's wife is estimated to have fallen.

The youngest son also has no tears on his face, although he is not very old, he has a deep relationship with his aunt.

Knowing what happened to his aunt, the child immediately threw himself into his aunt's arms and buried his head in the other's stomach.

"Lost five hundred taels?" Qu Miaoling caught the keyword.

"Yes, county lord, it's not just five hundred taels, the woman also saw the silver ticket in Liu Jian's clothes one day, there are nearly a thousand taels."

"Nearly a thousand taels!"

Gentle eyes widen.

No matter how high the housekeeper's monthly salary is, it can't be as high as a thousand taels!

Either they embezzled the Hou Mansion or accepted bribes, no matter which one they were, they all violated the rules of the Hou Mansion.

This Steward Liu, eighty percent is wasted!

"Steward Liu, can you explain to me why your nephew is so extravagant?"

Liu Pufu lowered his body and didn't dare to speak.

"I beg the county lord, the women are willing to go out of the house, don't want the Liu family to pay a penny of gold and silver, and ask the county lord to be the master, let the women go!"

"Slut! You're not going to be a fool! Liu Jian glared angrily, and when he heard Liu E tell everything and everything, he couldn't wait to strangle this thing inside and out.

Thinking in his heart, Liu Jian did the same, he desperately broke free from the guards' clamps and crashed into Liu E.

Liu E was knocked over, her body hit the table in the room hard, making a muffled sound, she screamed in pain, then closed her eyes, her body slid down, and she looked at some symptoms of failure.

For two whole years, now that the enemy is in front of him, and he also beat his sister who he regards as a treasure, Liu Gang is so angry that he raised his leg is a kick.

kicked Liu Jian, who was like a zongzi, flew away, lay on the ground and hummed several times, but he didn't slow down.

"Liu Jian, you bastard!"

Liu Gang shouted angrily, he helped his sister up with his eyelids closed and let her lean on him.

Seeing that his sister stood firm, Liu Gang handed Liu E to his wife with his backhand, and he went over and punched and kicked Liu Jian, who was lying on the ground screaming non-stop, his face was hideous, like a devil bent on revenge.

Liu Jian rolled on the ground in pain, and the only one who could resist was two legs, he kicked and kicked, but where could he beat Liu Gang, who used both hands and feet.

The battle between the two of them spread to Wen, and she shouted to run away, but the two of them chased after her as if on purpose.

Wen's screams were non-stop, his hair was messy, and he was in disarray.

The scene was chaotic, everyone was stunned, and Qu Miaoling was the first to react.

"Go and separate those two for me! Come on! ”

The tables, chairs and benches in the side hall were all messy, lying down, crooked, and twisted.

"Okay, Liu Gang, calm down! I still don't want your sister to get out of the sea of suffering. ”

Liu Gang woke up and let himself be pulled away by the guards.

And Liu Jian already had a blue nose and swollen face, and even the tip of his nose was covered with bruises.

It was miserable, but no one felt sorry for him.

Liu Pu himself is difficult to protect, where did he get the courage to care about his nephew!

Let's fly separately when disaster comes!

"Qu Miaoling, kill these two for me, kill them!" Wen, who was finally not picked up, screamed.

At this moment, Wen's hairstyle collapsed, the powder on his face was blurred, his clothes were messy, and even the lip grease on his mouth was dyed to the corners.

I don't know how embarrassed I am, but Wen is still angry in his heart.

She is dignified Mrs. Wudehou, where is there such an embarrassing time?

I'm so angry with her, I'm so angry!

"Liu Gang, tell me, how much has the rent of your orchard been in the past few years?"

Liu Gang replied honestly, "Twenty taels in the first year, forty taels in the fifth year, forty-five taels in the seventh year, seventy taels in the tenth year, and eighty taels in the thirteenth year." ”

As soon as Liu finished speaking, Wen panicked.

"Miao Lin, what are you asking him to say this, these are all secrets in the house, if you are like this, you are not afraid-"

"Mother, I think you've forgotten something." Qu Miaoling said and raised the ledger in his hand, "My good mother, do you know how much the rent is recorded in the ledger of this mansion?" ”

"How much?" Wen was even more panicked.

All she knew, and she did.

Wen was so panicked that she grabbed the hem of her clothes, but Qu Miaoling's words were like a sentence pen, tracing and sketching on her piece of paper casually, and every stroke was drawn on the tip of her heart.

Tingling and stinging.

"Miao Ling, my mother doesn't know about this!"

"Mother, I naturally know that you don't know, this is not to tell you, lest you be kept in the dark by these subordinates!"

After that, Qu Miaoling approached Liu Pu, who was tied up, "Steward Liu, you are managing the Zhuangzi under the jurisdiction of the Hou Mansion!" ”

"Back to the master, the slaves are busy, and this little matter of collecting rent is all done by Liu Jian."

Qu Miaoling sighed.

"It seems that I wronged Liu Jian, he is working, but he has also filled his own pockets from it, do you say, Steward Liu."

Liu Pu kowtowed again and again, "It's all the slave's fault, I mistrusted Liu Jian, master, this has nothing to do with the slave!" ”

"Then Liu Jian made a mistake alone, and he couldn't make a joint minion!"

Liu Pu cried again.

As soon as Liu Jian heard that he asked his uncle to blame himself, his eyes widened instantly, but when Liu Jian, who was crying, received the look handed over by his uncle, he was stunned for a while, and still admitted the crime

"It's the sin of the slave, if you make a big mistake, please punish the master."
