Chapter 177: Confession

"It's very simple, when those three people complained, they called Lord Qingtian in their mouths, so many officials and people saw this scene, even if Governor Hu never found the twenty-five people in the end, he must at least give an explanation to the three villagers, to Yixian, and to the people of the entire Maoyuan Mansion, otherwise people will not only call him Lord Qingtian again, but also say that he is a mediocre and incompetent official, and his reputation may be ruined on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the twenty-first year of Ningkang."

Song Xiaochi thought, this is also the reason why the three of them chose to sue in today's form, the other two obviously don't understand this truth Song Xiaochi doesn't know, but the leading helmsman must understand.

Qu Wenshu clapped her hands, "That's it, what my sister said makes sense, if that Master Hu leaves it alone, how can he be worthy of a Qingtian master, as far as my mother says today that he is a Qingtian master, I want to see what the Qingtian master is like in reality, how is it compared to the stage in the book?" ”

She slapped her hands violently, but Qu Xinghui, who was sitting on a chair and eating a small snack, was startled, Song Xiaochi often hugged Qu Xinghui, this little guy also loves to be close to her, so he likes to sit next to her, Song Xiaochi saw that he was frightened by Qu Wenshu's applause, and hurriedly reached out and patted his back to comfort him.

"You girl, you are just shocked, look, scared your brother."

Jiang Shi complained, thinking that when she was looking at the shed, she said that Hu Bai was the master of Qingtian, but she just said it casually, without a trace of ridicule in it, and now let her stupid girl say this, just like how she worships Governor Hu, it is really annoying, but it is not easy to say it clearly.

"Brother Hui is not so timid, Brother Hui is a little man, very bold, isn't it Brother Hui?"

Qu Wenshu teased Qu Xinghui and said.

Qu Xinghui grinned, revealing a mouthful of white raw milk whirring small baby teeth, this was a silent laugh, Jiang rubbed Qu Xinghui's fluffy little head, and laughed along, but there was a little more bitterness in that smile.

Qu Wenshu looked at her younger brother laughing silently, and the previous liveliness seemed to have dissipated a lot, but it was the return of Qu Jing and Xie Yan that broke the atmosphere that suddenly became quiet.

"I'm just waiting for the two of you, how did you get it now?"

Qu Jing came back, Jiang, Qu Wenshu, and Song Xiaochi stood up and curtsied, but Jiang's salute was fake, and the complaint was true.

Qu Jing is tall and big, burly and stout, and his face is also rough and bold, standing with the delicate Jiang family, the contrast is even more obvious.

Since Song Xiaochi saw Qu Jing, what he thought was that Qu Wenshu and Qu Xinghui, two sisters and brothers, would grow up, and they all chose the good ones of their parents.

"This is not today's trouble, after returning from the Furong River, Governor Hu did not release people, let us all go to the mansion, saying that we want to discuss this matter."

Qu Jing helped Jiang to sit down, and at the same time sat down and explained.

"Sit down!"

Xie Yan moved the chair for Song Xiaochi and motioned for her to sit beside him, this kind of behavior would be criticized if it was in other places, where is there a man who moves a chair for a woman, but this matter is taken for granted in the Qu family, Qu Jing doesn't look rough, his mind is delicate, and his consideration for his wife is not comparable to ordinary men.

Qu Wenshu hugged Qu Xinghui in her arms, pretending to be pitiful and said, "Brother Hui, our sister and brother depend on each other for their lives!"

Jiang laughed angrily: "You girl, you don't feel comfortable if you don't find fault for a moment."

The meal had already been heated and put on the table, and a few seasonal vegetables were added to the kitchen, Qu Jing and Xie Yan drank wine, and Jiang took Song Xiaochi and a pair of children to eat vegetables and drink some fruit wine.

"Dad, does Governor Hu really want to seriously try the case he complained about today?"

On the table, Qu Wenshu asked with a blank look.

"This girl, what is this thing called, what is a serious trial, since it is a case, how can there be a serious trial?"

Qu Jing scolded with a casual smile.

Qu Wenshu was accustomed to Qu Jing's scolding to this extent, she only saw her father's laughter, but didn't hear the reprimand.

"Dad, what are you afraid of at home? I'm not one of those ladies who don't go out of the door, I don't know anything, if every case is tried seriously, there won't be so many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and there won't be that one, Dad, just tell me, what happened to the case in the end? How was it tried? Did the three of them let go? ”

"How? Of course, according to the trial process, if the case is carefully tried, first send someone to Yi County to investigate, at least first investigate whether the matter of missing young and middle-aged men really happened in the three villages of Yi County, and send someone to the Yi County County Office, if what the three people said is true, the Yi County County Order is dereliction of duty and will be punished. ”

Qu Jing really said it.

But Qu Wenshu was not satisfied with Qu Jing's answer, "Dad, what did Master Hu say?" Will he help find someone? This is looking for someone, and so many people have disappeared all at once, where can I find them? The missing men are all young and strong men, not weak women, nor children, even if they are crutches, they are not easy to crutches, are they really sold into a mine somewhere to work as coolies? ”

Qu Wenshu asked, she had already started her imagination.

Of course, Qu Jing didn't tell her what Governor Hu thought, not to mention that Qu Jing himself didn't know Governor Hu's thoughts at all, and even if he knew, he couldn't talk nonsense at will.

Qu Wenshu didn't get what she wanted to know, so she had to settle down to eat, and at this time, Jiang Shifang asked, "Ah Chi, did you reply to the letter at home?"

Jiang already knew Song Xiaochi's family background, and also knew how she and Xie Yan came together, which Song Xiaochi himself told her.

Song Xiaochi shook his head, "Not yet." ”

"Wait for a letter from your family, you and Ah Yan's affairs should also be done, the three media and six hires are indispensable, this is what I will do, after the marriage, you can pick a day to get married, otherwise you will always ......be like this"

Jiang Shi paused for a moment, in order to take care of Song Xiaochi's face, it seemed that it was a little difficult to speak, but in the end he said vaguely: "It's a little inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient? Mother, don't you just say that Sister Chi is the goddaughter you recognize, and then the second cousin and Sister Chi will be cousins, and no one will say anything if they meet again. ”

Without waiting for Song Xiaochi to speak, Qu Wenshu, who did not eat two mouthfuls of food, immediately spoke to defend Song Xiaochi.

Jiang's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Qu Wenshu and said, "You girl, you usually do things that are out of tune, but I didn't expect to have a spirit."

"I'm pretty clever." Qu Wenshu wrinkled her nose rather dissatisfied.

"Haha...... So I'm going to have more girls again? Qu Jing stroked his palms and laughed, very happy.

In this way, Jiang asked Song Xiaochi's opinion, Song Xiaochi naturally would not object to such a good thing, although his father and mother were not here, but if they knew that there were people here who were willing to treat her with the heart of a child, they would definitely be happy and relieved.
