Chapter 406: Expediency
The restaurant is crowded.
Qin Hongyun came to a box and raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.
A lazy voice rang out from inside the door, "Come in." ”
Qin Hongyun pushed open the door, walked in gently, bypassed the flower and bird screen, and saw a young man wearing a moon-white silver silk dark pattern flower robe, with a face like a crown of jade, lying on the couch.
The young man didn't look big, eighteen or nineteen years old, he seemed to already know who Qin Hongyun was when he came in, and he asked without opening his eyes: "The matter has been dealt with?" ”
"Back to the young master, Miss Lin doesn't need help, she can do it alone." Qin Hongyun briefly recounted the matter.
The young man raised his lips and smiled, and said with a smile: "She is worthy of being a sister who is a fan of small wealth, and she is the same sharp and unwilling to suffer." ”
“……”
Qin Hongyun wiped his sweat, how can Miss Xue'er be called a fan of money?
A braised lion's head recipe was sold to them for ten taels of silver.
If you become a chef, you will be rewarded with more than that.
But if the young master thinks so, he can't say anything.
Who called someone the little son of the uncle's mansion?
The two were silent for a moment.
Qin Hongyun suddenly thought of something, reached behind his back and took off a jade pendant from his belt.
The jade pendant is turquoise all over and has a soft luster.
This is Chen Yingxue's jade pendant, and when Lin Miao hid behind Qin Hongyun, he transferred it.
This matter is unaware of it, even Qin Hongyun himself was just told to him by Lin Miao, and he only knew about it.
"This is the jade pendant? Average. The young man on the couch glanced at it lightly and became disgusted.
Qin Hongyun touched the jade pendant, in terms of texture, this is a rare good jade.
However, it is normal that the young master of his family did not look at it, but the uncle's mansion is rich and rivals the country, what good things have not been seen?
"What the young master said is that it's just an ordinary jade pendant." Qin Hongyun said.
"What are you going to do with this jade pendant?" The youth asked.
Qin Hongyun replied: "Miss Lin asked the little one to send someone to the county office, and said that Miss Chen accidentally fell into the corner just now." ”
"Then send it." The young man closed his eyes again.
…………
Back at the county office, Chen Hongwen put down his disguise, his face was so angry that he was deformed, and his little eyes were full of anger.
He hadn't been so angry in a long time.
The master stepped forward, "My lord, this woman is not easy to deal with, just now the little one deliberately set her, wanting her to hand over the jade pendant, and then, the little one took the contract book and arrested her, but I didn't expect her to deny that she took the jade pendant." ”
That woman is ruthless, can she recognize it?
Chen Hongwen snorted and was about to speak, when Chen Yingtai broke in.
"Dad, how can you arrest my sister? Is the prison a place for people? ”
Chen Hongwen frowned, did this stupid son think he was willing to arrest Yingxue? It wasn't because he knew that the Lin family was not easy to deal with, and he was afraid that she would dig a pit for him to jump again, so he made a quick decision and directly sentenced Yingxue and the maid.
"Dad, you speak." couldn't wait for Chen Hongwen to respond, Chen Yingtai shouted again.
"Think about it with your brain, in that situation at that time, can I not arrest Yingxue?"
"You are an official, you are the biggest, if you say you don't arrest you, who can do anything to you?" Chen Yingtai muttered.
"Stupid," Chen Hongwen slapped the table, "You let Lao Tzu bend the law blatantly, do you think your life is too good?" ”
Chen Yingtai was shocked by Chen Hongwen's anger, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "Then you can't arrest Yingxue, the place in the prison stinks, Yingxue definitely can't stand it." ”
Chen Hongwen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just an expedient measure, you go to the prison now and bring her back, remember, don't let her out of the house, send her to Zhuangzi later, and let her go to your grandfather's house tomorrow to avoid her." ”
It's a good idea!
Chen Yingtai hurriedly turned around and ran down.
The master waited for the door to close and asked, "My lord, do you want to send someone to arrest the Lin clan back?" ”
Catch that Lin's? Chen Hongwen thought about it, and finally shook his head.
When Zhang Zhipeng was interrogated before, Zhang Zhipeng said that the Lin family was surrounded by people with strong martial arts.
He sent someone, maybe she would arrest the man he sent.
Then came to sue the official, that woman's courage is as big as the sky, and there is nothing that cannot be done.
If it really goes that far, his reputation will be ruined.
"Otherwise, think of another idea and arrest her openly?" The master said again.
Chen Hongwen nodded: "This is okay, but you have to think about it in the long run, and you can't make today's mistakes again." ”
The two discussed for a while, but before they could make a plan, the voice of the official announced sounded outside.
"My lord, the shopkeeper Qin of Quanji Restaurant is here, saying that he has something to be returned."
Chen Hongwen and Master glanced at each other, "Let him in." ”
After a while, Qin Hongyun respectfully walked into the study of the county government.
Chen Hongwen glanced him up and down and asked, "Shopkeeper Qin said that there is something to be returned, I don't know what it is?" ”
Qin Hongyun hurriedly presented the jade pendant, "Miss Chen said that she lost the jade pendant, and Miss Lin said that she didn't take it, so Xiaomin wondered if it would fall into the corner." ”
"No, after a careful search, sure enough, this jade pendant fell on the corner of the wall, probably someone who walked without looking at the road and kicked it over."
That's a coincidence, isn't it?
Chen Hongwen and the master didn't believe it, and the two glanced at each other.
"How did Shopkeeper Qin know that this was dropped by Yingxue?" Chen Hongwen asked.
Is this suspicious of him?
Qin Hongyun's smile became more and more sincere, and he replied: "Of course Xiaomin doesn't know, but the jade pendant was found in the restaurant, and Miss Chen just lost the jade pendant, of course Xiaomin has to bring it to her first to see if it is hers, if not, Xiaomin will find the lost owner again." ”
These words were impeccable, Chen Hongwen didn't say anything anymore, thanked him twice, and let Qin Hongyun go back.
As soon as Qin Hongyun left, the master said, "If the jade pendant hasn't been to the Lin clan..."
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a commotion outside the door.
"Get out of the way, I want to see my father."
"Yingxue, what are you anxious about? Daddy isn't available right now..."
"It's not you who is leaving, you must not be in a hurry."
"You have no conscience, my brother just went to save you..."
The two entered the door noisily, Chen Hongwen looked at them with a cold face, opened his mouth to reprimand a few words, but was choked by the air and coughed rapidly.
When he coughed, the whole person bowed down, and his face turned red.
Chen Yingxue hurriedly trotted over to pat him on the back, "Dad, Dad, are you okay?" ”
"Ahem, cough, cough," Chen Hongwen still coughed.
The master hurriedly poured him a glass of water, "My lord, you drink some water to press it." ”
Chen Hongwen waved his hand and slowly slowed down.
Seeing that he was getting better, Chen Yingxue hurriedly said, "Dad, I don't want to leave here." ”
"If you don't want it, you have to ask for it," Chen Hongwen stroked his chest, "You go to your grandfather's house to live for a few months first, and I will take you back soon." ”
