Sure enough, after today's incident, the people on Liu's side were frightened and hurriedly ordered them to stop spreading rumors. The arrogance of those who spread rumors and caused trouble has been extinguished a lot, and Li Qiuchi's business has slowly begun to improve.

She didn't give up easily, disguised herself as a man and blended into the Quansheng restaurant opposite, the restaurant was not lively, and even a little deserted, only the old customers in the past. At this time, Xiao Liu was cleaning up the plates on the table.

She slapped Xiao Liu's shoulder behind her back, put a knife against his waist, and said in a low voice, "You come out." ”

Xiao Liu's body stiffened suddenly, his back was also cold, and he trembled his lips and said, "You, who are you?" ”

Li Qiuchi hooked his lips: "I advise you to keep quiet, otherwise the gamble will be your life." ”

"Xiao Liu," the steward suddenly walked over from the opposite table and patted him on the shoulder with a kind smile, "remember to wash all these plates." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Qiuchi, and was immediately puzzled, "Who is she?" ”

Xiao Liu reluctantly smiled: "Steward Zhang, this is from the countryside with me, it's rare to see it, and I want to reminisce about the past." ”

The steward's gaze suddenly became ambiguous, "Okay, I'll give you half a day off, and you can talk slowly." ”

"......" Li Qiuchi.

Xiao Liu was so frightened that he couldn't move, cold sweat broke out on his head, his body stiffened, but he said with a forced smile on his face, "Okay, okay." ”

After Li Qiuchi forced him to go to an uninhabited alley, she resumed her original voice, and her voice was cold: "Liu Quan, let's say, what benefits are promised to you over there in Quansheng Restaurant?" ”

Xiao Liu's eyes widened in horror: "The owner? He was about to run out in a hurry, but was quickly grabbed by Li Qiuchi's quick hand, her dagger was pressed against Xiao Liu's neck, and Li Qiuchi's cold smile sounded in his ears: "What are you running?" When you resigned together, didn't you have any fear? ”

The cold touch made Xiao Liu's heart skip a beat, and he cried: "The owner spares his life, the little one is just confused by the ghost, they said that they will give me twice the salary, the family is really poor, and I can't do anything about it!" ”

Li Qiuchi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his face, "Liu Quan, you know that what I said is not this, don't change the topic with me." She clasped Xiao Liu's hands with one hand, the dagger was tighter, and her voice was cold, "Say, you were spreading rumors and making trouble at that time, were you instructed by the Liu family and Quansheng Restaurant!" ”

Xiao Liu looked confused: "What instructions?" What rumors? I don't know. ”

The corners of Li Qiuchi's lips hooked up a sneering arc, "Pretending to be stupid? Her dagger was about to cut through Xiao Liu's skin, he was so frightened that he hurriedly spoke: "Owner, I really don't know, I've been working in the restaurant these days, and I've never done such a dirty and dirty thing!" ”

He saw that Li Qiuchi was still unmoved, the dagger was approaching his neck, and he felt a warm liquid slipping down, and he was so frightened that tears came out, "Dongjia! I really don't know! Please spare me! ”

Xiao Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he hurriedly exclaimed: "I know, I know!" ”

Li Qiuchi slowly withdrew his dagger, "What do you know?" ”

He gasped for breath, feeling for the first time what the rest of his life was, and his back was already wet with cold sweat. Xiao Liu trembled his lips and spoke, "A few days ago, I saw that Deng Hai, who I worked with, seemed to often go in and out of the restaurant, muttering and discussing things with our chief steward, but when I passed, they stopped talking. I guessed he was hiding something from me, and sure enough, that night, I found a pot of peach blossom wine! ”

"Peach blossom wine?" Li Qiuchi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice did not fluctuate, "What's the connection?" ”

Xiao Liu frowned and said: "The owner, you don't know about this." This peach blossom wine has always been a unique wine in a remote inn in the west of the city, and this wine is extremely strong and strong, and it is not something that people like us can afford. Deng Hai has worked with me for many years, and I know his situation best, but he definitely can't afford to buy such wine. Sure enough, while he was drunk, he confided in some of his heart, saying how to spread rumors to confuse the public, so as to defeat your drunken Xuanlou, how much benefit can be obtained. What else...... Home ......"

Li Qiuchi pondered for a moment, "The Liu family? ”

He hurriedly said, "Yes! The Liu family! He said that these plans were all from the Liu family! ”

Li Qiuchi's eyes flashed with coldness, "I know." She was about to leave quickly, but was pulled by Xiao Liu, Li Qiuchi frowned and turned her head, only to see Xiao Liu's face showing anxiety, "Dongjia, are you going to send him to the official mansion?" Although Deng Hai also did bad things, he was bewitched by others, not a deliberate move! ”

She smiled coldly: "When the bad things are done, why do you have to talk about the things next to you, isn't it ridiculous?" He is greedy himself, who can blame him? Because I'm the owner, do I deserve to be framed by others? ”

Xiao Liu let go of her hand, his eyes narrowed, "I know." Owner, if you don't dislike it, I can help you identify it. ”

Li Qiuchi narrowed his eyes: "You? ”

Under Xiao Liu's identification, Li Qiuchi quickly found Deng Hai, who took the lead in doing this, and at the same time, Chu Jinrong was also investigating this matter thoroughly, and also pointed his head at Deng Hai. Through some coercion and temptation, Deng Hai finally came up with a plan, and using this clue, they also made up the group of handymen involved in this matter.

Li Qiuchi looked at the handymen standing all over the courtyard, and their faces were full of sincerity and fear. Li Qiuchi couldn't help frowning, and his heart was burning like a fire. It is said that people's hearts are sinister, and she can be regarded as seeing it today. To persecute others for her own selfish desires, the more she thought about it, the more chilled she became.

At this time, Chu Jinrong held her hand, and his voice was calm: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Li Qiuchi pursed his lips and didn't say anything in the end.

Chu Jinrong coldly swept over the people in the courtyard, "Since you are involved in this matter, you naturally have to know what kind of crime you are guilty of deliberately framing others." Zhao Xiaotang, you read it to them. ”

Zhao Xiaotang stood up, holding the book treasure in his hand, and his voice was cold, "According to the thirty-sixth law of my Great Zhou, anyone who deliberately frames and persecutes the people of the Great Zhou will be imprisoned for ten years. ”

Everyone suddenly began to talk in a low voice, looking at each other in a panic, and their eyebrows were full of anxiety.

After sweeping the expressions of the crowd, he sneered coldly and continued to speak: "If the victim's property is seriously damaged, each person must be compensated ten times the loss fee!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was like a fried pot, their eyes were full of horror, some people had already sat down on the ground, kept kneeling on the ground and crying, and some people were stunned and didn't know how to react.

Li Qiuchi saw them like this, but he didn't sympathize, it was originally the result of their greed and self-inflicted blame, such people have nothing to sympathize with.
