The next day, after being doused with cold water, the Webster father and son were dragged to the court for interrogation.

With a sound of "dang", the toast master Ensheng sat in front of the desk, slapped the startled wood hard, and said, "Who is kneeling?" ”

"Tell the master of Tusi, the villain is Wei Zongsheng, a villager from Datang Jingliu, and next to him is my son Wei Shihao." Wei Dart

Head Road.

"You two fornicated with the henchmen of the former dynasty and plotted to rebel, can you be guilty?"

"Wronged, Lord Toast! My father and son are betting for a newly opened grain and oil store in Jingliu, and I really don't know that the goods are mixed with anti-imperial court information, so please check the old man. ”

"Who came here didn't say that he was wronged? You have to be honest, where did the goods come from and where did they go? ”

"The goods are from the Jingluo Oil Store, and they are transported to the Lu Ji Grain and Oil Store in Zhongchong Street, Xincheng."

"Boldly convicted of thieves, last night the official sent someone to Jingliu overnight to investigate, Jingliu grain and oil store has been closed overnight and absconded, and there is no Lu Ji grain and oil store on Zhonghe Street at all. Where are you transporting these things, and how many of your comrades are there, hurry up and recruit them from the truth, otherwise you will be punished. ”

The startle sounded again.

"Huh?" Wei Darttou was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.

Wei Shihao glared angrily at the fat-headed and big-eared Toast Master, and he couldn't wait to rush over and slap him twice. After Jingliu Grain and Oil Store framed them, couldn't they wait for the officials to arrest them? However, since he decided that people from the government were involved in this conspiracy, he stopped defending and waited to see what happened, but he couldn't figure out why the people from the government and the instigators behind the scenes wanted to harm them, and what was the motive of the other party?

Seeing that Abba had nothing to say, Wei Shihao immediately said: "Master Tusi, from the Jingliu grain and oil store that absconded overnight, Lu Ji grain and oil did not exist, and the unknown prophet of the officers and soldiers, rushed to the scene of the crime in a short time to infer that it fully proves that someone deliberately framed our father and son. Besides, if we both learned that there was anti-imperial court information in the goods, we should have sent soybeans instead of rice, all kinds of contrary phenomena are very strange, and this just proves our innocence, doesn't it?

His sonorous and powerful words made Ensheng Tusi dumbfounded, and some of the jury officials also kept nodding their heads and whispering something.

"When ......" sounded.

"Boldly judge the thief, this case is dirty and captured, you still dare to make nonsense, deny it in every way, refuse to hand over your comrades, come on! Give me fifty boards. Ensheng said angrily with a red face, and immediately ordered his subordinates to reward Wei Shihao with fifty boards.

"Master Toast, I can't help it! The child is still young and ignorant, and he has no words, and he hopes that the adults will not remember the minor mistakes and spare him once. Wei Daotou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately begged Ensheng for mercy for his son, and at the same time pulled his son next to him and said, "Quickly kowtow to Master Tusi and admit your mistake!" ”

"I'm telling the truth, why admit it?" Wei Shihao straightened his waist and did not give in at all.

Two soldiers next to him stepped forward and pushed him to the ground, and the other two immediately slapped him on the buttocks.

The pain in his heart aroused Wei Shihao's intolerable anger, so he sang a mountain song to relieve the pain while beating the board:

A thief at noon,

The good people mutated and replaced the dead ghosts.

Six packets of rice and three packets of beans,

A bean, a tear!

……

Lang Lang Qiankun is rising,

From then on, heaven becomes hell.

Innocent and good people become a party of chaos,

Where can I be reasonable?

……

The singing voice was like a sharp knife, poking every word into the hearts of the officials present, causing them to lose face.

"Hit, hit, hit, hit me hard!" Ensheng blushed angrily and said indignantly.

Seeing his son's suffering, Wei Dangtou cried and wanted to stop him, but was pressed to the ground by two other soldiers.

The two were tortured in the court until noon, when they passed out again, and the soldiers grabbed their hand-drawn drawings before being dragged into their cells again.

In fact, Ensheng did not send anyone to Jingliu grain and oil store to investigate, but the grain and oil store was closed at night and slipped away "unintentionally".

After noon, Mo Qinglian, who had already loaded the finished product of Zhuangjin and was ready to go, walked to the door of the workshop and looked around, looking left and right, but she couldn't find his familiar figure in the crowd.

"Qingmei, what are you waiting for? It's not too early, it's time to go. Xie Yingjun shouted at the gate after letting the soldiers check the goods again.

"Master Xie, don't shout. Shopkeeper Mo is upset, don't you see her waiting for someone? Yueyue whispered to him.

"Oh, oh!" After nearly a year of getting along day and night, Xie Yingjun has understood that her heart is all on Wei Shihao, so he has long been dead to her and understands her behavior.

When he was leaving, why didn't he want her to give him a ride like Mo Qinglian? It's just that the relationship between him and her can't be compared to the relationship between them. He is still in the stage of unrequited love, and he doesn't know if the other party has him in his heart?

The brigade has to travel far away, and if you wait for someone to send you off and miss the trip, it is really not what a shopkeeper should do.

Mo Qinglian was anxious, the little girl's character was revealed one by one, she stomped her foot fiercely with a "hum", and ran to the Jing Wandering Oil Store to inquire, has he come back?

However, during the peak season of the previous year, the store was closed. In desperation, she had to walk listlessly back to the workshop to prepare for departure.

When she was crossing the threshold, Wei Ermei hurriedly arrived and asked, "Mo Shopkeeper, is my elder brother back?" Is he in the workshop or not? ”

Mo Qinglian was overjoyed when she saw Second Sister Wei, but she didn't expect that the other party was looking for someone, and her excited mood fell into the ice valley again, and she shook her head in disappointment and said nothing.

"Hey, second sister, are you here? How? Haven't your grandpa and your brother returned yet? It doesn't matter, this journey is not far, it is not close, maybe they have something to delay? Wait, don't worry. Xie Yingjun comforted Second Sister Wei and said, in fact, he also told Mo Qinglian from the side that he could wait a little longer.

Since Abba and Brother set off last night, Wei Ermei's heart has not been steady, and now she should have come back a long time ago, but there was no trace of the two, can she not be in a hurry?

"They should have returned! Why haven't you come back? Second Sister Wei muttered to herself.

"Let's go!" Mo Qinglian was heartbroken, and ordered the team to set off.

The team that set off pulled a total of five carts of goods, including Mo Qinglian, a total of sixteen horses, and left the workshop in a mighty way, and the rest of the guards stayed behind to take care of the workshop.

After Wei Ermei trotted to catch up with Xie Yingjun and Mo Qinglian, she said, "Shopkeeper Mo, Master Xie, I'll give you a ride!" ”

Just now she just stood at the door of the workshop and waved, Xie Yingjun was already very excited, and now she caught up to see her off, what an honor it was for him?

He thought passionately that Second Sister Wei originally intended to give it to him, but he was embarrassed to say it, and by the way, he wanted to send him and Shopkeeper Mo together.

After Xie Yingjun's heart was overjoyed, he said with a smile: "Second sister, we will meet soon, I will return after the New Year, don't miss me too much!" ”

Second Sister Wei was out of breath and had no time to talk to him, but Mo Qinglian rolled his eyes for him, seeing that he was self-inflicted, but he had never seen such a self-inflicted amorous.

Mo Qinglian slowed down and said, "Second sister, please go back!" When your brother returns, you will have someone write to me. ”

Wei Ermei understood the intention of the shopkeeper, so she nodded heartily, and she sent the team to Nalajiao (place name) before turning back.

According to common sense, Abba and Brother should have arrived home a long time ago, but why can't they be seen for a long time? Second Sister Wei had a sense of nonsensical foreboding in her heart, but she couldn't talk about it.
