"She's talking nonsense, sir." The fourth lady retorted: "My lord, it was Tui'er who she ordered Li Quan to injure at the beginning, Li Quan was flying and domineering at home, she instigated it, my lord, the slut of Tui'er's death is the mastermind, Li Quan is an accomplice, my lord must take them all down and punish them, and avenge my hard-working child!" ”

Duan Fei said: "Li Quan's case will be investigated by the official, the fourth lady is not in a hurry, don't you three have anything else to say?" ”

Duan Fei looked at the three Li Mansion family members, they all shook their heads, Duan Fei said hello, and suddenly said: "Your words are not true, this official wants to take you back to Jinyiwei for good interrogation, come on......"

"Spare your life!" The four family members fell to their knees in fright and shouted, "My lord, what Li Quan did has nothing to do with us, we were also forced." ”

Duan Fei frowned and shouted, "What's going on?" You still haven't been honest! ”

The four of them were about to confess, but the old lady suddenly said, "Shut up! She faced Duan Fei's gaze and said without evasion: "My lord, it is about the reputation of the Li family, please let your lord hold back, and the old body will explain everything to your lord." ”

"Reputation? Does the Li family still have a reputation? Hahaha......" The maid standing beside Mrs. Li suddenly burst out laughing maniacally.

The old lady was furious and said, "Cao Fang, what do you mean by this!" ”

The fourth lady held Cao Fang's hand worriedly, Cao Fang looked up to the sky and laughed: "In my eyes, the Li family is a smelly dung pit, Li Quan is the real master of this family, except for you old women who Li Quan can't look down on, as long as the women of the Li family are a little better-looking, who can escape Li Quan's palm?" ”

"Shut up!" The old lady and Li Ningyuan both shouted angrily, and several family members wanted to step forward to stop them, but Hua Ming stood beside Cao Fang with a knife, Cao Fang screamed: "Li Ningyuan, don't say you don't know, the eldest young master doesn't look like you at all, that nose, that eye, that eyebrows, that mouth, but it looks like Li Quan, it's really God's retribution, when you bullied me back then, did you ever think that there would be retribution!" ”

"Shut up......" Li Ningyuan seemed to be ten years old suddenly, he took two steps back weakly, and if it weren't for the support of his family, he almost sat down.

Cao Fang continued to scream: "Big lady, you are old and decrepit Li Quan naturally won't take a fancy to you, but your two daughters can't escape his palms, many people don't know why you married them to a random family back then, but I know it very clearly, they have already been played by Li Quan, and they can no longer marry the right person, so they naturally have to marry casually." ”

The old lady's face turned pale, Cao Fang chuckled for a while, and said to Duan Fei, who was watching the play: "Lord Qincha, there are some things that I have always had in my heart for many years, and I have to say them today, and my expression is inevitably a little crazy, please forgive me, I have been pretending to be stupid for many years, watching everything silently, if you want to know anything, just ask me." ”

Duan Fei put down the teacup and asked, "Are you Li Tui's daughter-in-law?" ”

Cao Fang nodded and said: "Although Li Tui is not a good thing, he also used to be strong when he got me, but when a woman marries her husband, he finally has a little conscience, ten thousand times better than everyone else in the Li family, since the adult asked, yes, I am Li Tui's surviving person!" ”

Duan Fei frowned, and asked thoughtfully, "Li Quan is just a small familyman, how can he set off such a big storm in the Li family?" Why don't you report to the magistrate and take down this wicked slave? ”

Cao Fang smiled bitterly: "My lord doesn't know, this Li Quan has a brother, who was sent to the palace by his family to be a eunuch since he was a child, and Li Quan was sent to the Li family as a slave, Li Quan's brother gradually got ahead in the palace, and entered the East Factory and became a 100 households, the two brothers somehow got in touch, Li Quan has such a strong brother, naturally he doesn't take anyone in the Li family to heart, and no one dares to take care of it in the Li family, even if Liu Jin falls, the inner factory is closed, and when the East Factory is purged, Li Quan was driven out of the Li family, for the reputation of the Li family, No one was willing to go to the yamen to sue him. ”

"I see, this official finally understands." Duan Fei changed his words and asked, "When the old lady punished Li Tui with addition, were you present?" ”

Cao Fang sneered and said, "Of course you are here, how could the eldest lady let go of such a good opportunity, naturally everyone should be present to appreciate it." ”

Duan Fei said: "I don't know what punishment the eldest lady inflicted on Li Tui?" Do you remember? ”

Cao Fang said without hesitation: "Twenty whips in public." ”

Duan Fei said in surprise: "Just twenty lashes? ”

Cao Fang said: "Adults, don't underestimate these twenty whips, the Li family's family whip is special, and one whip can beat people's skin and flesh, not to mention that Li Quan's communiqué personal vendetta is particularly ruthless, Li Tui was stunned several times on the spot, and he was woken up and beaten again, my lord, the eldest lady and Li Quan wanted to beat him to death." ”

"You talk nonsense! I still suspect that Li Tui killed you little slut! The old lady scolded.

Duan Fei frowned and said: "Slow down, slow down, old lady, the official didn't ask you, don't interject, Cao Fang, you said that Li Quan has a personal vendetta, what do you say?" ”

Cao Fang hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, I have nothing to be ashamed of today, yes, Li Quan once tried to insult me, but Li Tui saw him, Li Tui beat him violently, this is the only time Li Quan was blocked in the Li family, Li Quan held a grudge, it was he who found out Li Tui's evil deeds outside through his eldest brother, and complained to the eldest lady, Li Tui's family law. ”

The eldest lady snorted, Duan Fei ignored her, and continued to ask, "Li Tui beat Li Quan violently?" Was Li Tui injured at that time? Or where do you feel uncomfortable? ”

Cao Fang shook his head and said: "No, Li Tui's body is much stronger than Li Quan, and he knocked Li Quan to the ground with three or two punches, if I hadn't stepped forward to dissuade him, Li Quan would have to be killed on the spot, how could he have the ability to resist?" If I had known what was happening, I would never have dissuaded it that day, but unfortunately it is too late to regret it now. ”

The eldest lady sneered: "Li Tui is dead, but he is a bad seed, if Li Quan dies, the unlucky one is our Li family, you are right that day." ”

Cao Fang sneered at each other: "You are the evil seed, the eldest master doesn't look like the old man at all, behind everyone's back, everyone said that you stole the man back then and gave birth to a young master in front of the fourth lady, otherwise how could you have a place to sit here today, you should have been kicked out of the Li family and sold to the Red Mansion." ”

The two women saw that they were about to quarrel again, Duan Fei calmed them down with a loud shout, and said: "It's really strange, Li Quan is just a scoundrel, you are afraid that he is afraid to death, this official is a dignified order, and now he is still temporarily in charge of the Jinyi Guard, you still dare to shout in front of this official, is it really unreasonable, is it easy to bully when you are an official?" If you quarrel again, you will slap your mouth together and catch Jinyiwei and squat in prison! ”
