Ling Mofeng looked at Xiao Qi with his eyes on his back, and said in a strange tone: "Why, if I say a few more words to Miss Liu, you won't be happy?" ”
Xiao Qi was dumbfounded, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and said, "What does Brother Ling mean by this?" I mean, it's too tiring to stand here and talk, so let's go to the Zhuangzi and have a look, find a place to sit down and talk. ”
Ling Mofeng's eyes rolled, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he said: "That's right, it's okay for you and me to be two big men, but Miss Liu is a delicate woman, and she is tired of standing, so I should blame you I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”
Liu Qingyan erected three black lines on her head, and she couldn't help but laugh: "I am a girl who grew up in the countryside, where is it so delicate, Lord Ling must not say so." ”
Ling Mofeng's gaze kept switching between the two of them, and he wanted to say something like 'tired of you, someone will feel distressed', but the official rushed over to report to the owner of the workshop and asked to meet him.
Xiao and Ling already knew the identity of the owner behind the workshop, but they were very curious about the person in charge of this place, and Liu Qingyan wanted to find out who was the person who wanted to cut off her financial resources.
After a while, the official came over with a few people.
As the person approached, Liu Qingyan's eyes became colder and colder, and her breathing became deep and deep.
Xiao Qi noticed her strangeness, and her ethereal and clear eyes were dyed with a layer of deep doubt, and she calmed down.
Those few people looked very arrogant, and they came to Ling Mofeng to salute, without glancing at Liu Qingyan and Xiao Qi behind them without the corner of their eyes.
The old man at the head stared at Ling Mofeng with cloudy eyes, and asked in an aggressive tone: "Dare to ask the county commander what crime Xiaomin has committed, and why did the adult destroy Xiaomin's workshop?" ”
Liu Qingyan lowered her eyes and sneered silently.
The old man's toughness and cunning greatly exceeded Ling Mofeng's expectations, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said angrily: "Your workshop did not go to the yamen to register for the record, but it was tax evasion and illegal operation; Lack of government supervision, the food produced is a black-hearted commodity, let the people eat, and make a fuss about your life. ”
The old woman behind the old man jumped out and shouted loudly, "My lord is wronged, the duck eggs pickled in my workshop are also eaten by my family, and I will never go without eating people's lives, please be aware of it." ”
"Ignorant woman." Ling Mofeng flicked the wide sleeves of his official uniform, and scolded angrily: "No one has died at the moment, so I can't wait for you to have bad intentions in the future." Tax evasion alone is enough to seal down the workshop, and you dare to cry out for injustice. ”
The old man's eyes were cold and faint, and his hoarse voice was as cold as coming from hell, "Your Excellency knows who the real owner of the workshop is, and some people are afraid that the county magistrate will not be able to offend him." ”
The corners of Ling Mofeng's mouth twitched a few times, he resisted the urge to laugh, tilted his head and said, "Then you can say it and listen to it, and see if I can afford to offend." If the backstage is really that good, I'll let you continue to run it. ”
Xiao Qi touched his nose, and it was extremely hard to endure, he didn't expect that his usually meticulous friends would have such naughty times.
The old man snorted with a proud look on his face, and said: "The eldest grandmother of the Xiao family in Fucheng, the eldest grandmother's maiden family is an imperial businessman, if you offend her, beware of not being able to eat and walk around." ”
The grandmother of the Xiao family, isn't she Xiao Qi's wife? The arrogant woman who was already on the bar when they met for the first time? It seems that the woman has done a lot of things against herself in the past year to retaliate, I'm afraid everything in the Liu family has been investigated very clearly!
Liu Qingyan's mind was thinking rapidly, and her heart sank again and again.
Xiao Qi's face was gloomy, and he stared at her with apologetic eyes.
Ling Mofeng's eyes rolled and he laughed, smiling brightly, and his tone was extremely relaxed, "Who should I be, it turned out to be a member of the Textile Emperor Shang Fang family." Then the smile suddenly disappeared, his eyes looked at the old man coldly, and his tone raised slightly: "I don't care about a small textile family, I'm not afraid to tell you that my father is a weaver in Jiangnan Province, and he just happens to be in charge of these imperial merchants." ”
Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed, and for the first time, she felt that the sentence "My dad is Li Gang" was so pleasant.
The old man gritted his teeth and turned pale. He has been calculating all his life, and he knows that he is kicking on the steel plate today, and the workshop will not be able to keep it, so it is wise to preserve his strength and wait for him to slowly figure it out in the future.
The thought was like electricity, and in an instant, the old man lowered his eyebrows and pleased, bowed down and said: "My lord is about to demolish it, Xiaomin will go to the yamen for the record, and pay off the taxes owed in the past." ”
Ling Mofeng's eyebrows jumped, so that there would be no reason to continue destroying the workshop. If they insist on giving the order, this group will publicize the matter, which will damage his official reputation.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but set his eyes on Xiao and Liu, as if he had the intention of inquiring.
But Xiao Qi was looking at Liu Qingyan, feeling the gaze of his friend, his gaze shifted to him, and said with a wry smile: "The victim of this matter is Miss Liu, everything is up to her!" ”
Liu Qingyan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, raised her head and smiled calmly, and said: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, since it is a workshop funded by Grandma Xiao, the adults can be punished according to the law, so as not to affect the relationship between Brother Xiao's husband and wife." ”
The last sentence made Xiao Qi feel like a fish in his throat, like the tip of a knife killing his heart.
He rolled the lump in his throat, swallowed the bitter water in his heart, and stared at her deeply, deeply with a resentful gaze, as if to ask: Do you really not care about my affection for you? Would you rather hide away and not want to get involved with me?
Liu Qingyan received his gaze, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked away.
Xiao Qi's heart was once again deeply stabbed, and his glass-like eyes were covered with deep sadness, black and dark like black jade.
At this time, the people on the opposite side had already recognized Liu Qingyan.
She has changed a lot in the past two years, in addition to being a lot taller, her facial features have also grown a little, which can still be recognized from between her eyebrows and eyes, and Xiao Qi called her Miss Liu again.
The old man's eyes were glowing with a faint cold light and stared at Liu Qingyan, and the old woman took the lead in launching a verbal attack on her.
"It turned out that you were a little slut and a prodigal hoof who reported it to the county magistrate, relying on the appearance of a deputy fox, it doesn't count as hooking up with a man in the village, and you have caught other men in the city, and even the county magistrate has been turned around by you."
She jumped and cursed, spat flying everywhere.
The younger woman next to her glanced at Xiao Qi, and saw that he was handsome and unparalleled, and his temperament was like a fairy, so she also scolded, "I said that she would be listed to pick up customers in two years, but now she is not." The one in the village got rid of it and hooked up with the nobles in the city again! ”
The old woman slapped her face, and then scolded: "A little prostitute who rides with thousands of people and is pressed by 10,000 people, has one leg, and the man comes, all of which are taught well by the old bustard's mother." ”
"The shameless little prostitute swaggers everywhere with wild men. The man slept too much, beware of the willows. ”
Foul language poured in turns, Liu Qingyan stood tall in the tide of filth, with a shallow smile on her face, with contempt, mockery, and sneer, watching this pair of clowns perform.
Xiao and Ling were stunned, what kind of deep hatred and hatred could they add up to a girl who was not in harmony.
They grew up in wealthy families, received a good upbringing, and the maids and women around them also had rules and constraints, when had they ever heard such unbearable words.
Xiao Qi's heart was full of knots, and his heart was like a split, these two vulgar women dared to insult the girl he resolutely wanted to protect in front of him. The crystal clear eyes were dyed with a layer of cold anger, and the handsome and clear face seemed to be carved from the ice of the extremely cold place.
Liu Qingyan couldn't find new tricks to scold her when the Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't find new tricks, and said calmly: "Can you change some new words, just a few words every time you scold, is it interesting?" ”
Her tone was very gentle and kind, as if she was persuading others not to be angry, because if you are too angry, it will hurt your body.
The pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stalked, slightly flustered, and started a new round of abuse.
Liu Qingyan turned a deaf ear to this, and used her cut pupils like a dark night to confront Guo Laohan's eyes that kept shooting out ghostly eyes, and the two sides had become a tense situation.
In the face of this hustle and bustle, Xiao Qi stepped forward to block in front of Liu Qingyan, like a wide barrier to cut off Guo Laohan's resentful sight, and tilted his head slightly to her: "Leave this matter to me to deal with." ”
Liu Qingyan thought for a moment, and smiled behind him, "Thank you." ”
The inverted river on Guo Laohan's forehead became deeper and deeper, and the venom leaked unexpectedly flowed back into his eye sockets, and his eyes returned to a cloudy state, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you and why do you want to meddle in this matter?" ”
Xiao Qi didn't bother to pay attention to him, his eyes turned to Ling Mofeng, and he raised his voice slightly: "Lord Ling, such people despise your official authority, if you don't punish one or two as parents and officials, how should you govern the people in the county in the future." ”
Ling Mofeng smiled faintly and said, "What Brother Xiao said is very true, although I have always attached importance to harmony with the common people, but this kind of Diao people are really presumptuous, and they cannot be tolerated, otherwise he should point his nose and scold me in the future." ”
Subsequently, he instructed the officials: "Seal up the Zhuangzi and drive all the people inside." These two wicked women insulted other good people in front of me, and it was hard to forgive, and they were brought back to the yamen to be punished. ”
The Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned pale and immediately collapsed on the ground. The prison food in the yamen is not delicious, and the board is not easy to suffer.
Many officials acted quickly and soon drove all the people in Zhuangzi out.
Several relatives of Kong Chunxiang's mother's family suddenly stood up, and saw Liu Qingyan hiding her face with her sleeves and hurriedly walked over.
Guo Laohan's face was gloomy, and he asked Xiao Qi unrelentingly, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Qi glanced at him lightly and sneered: "I am the husband of Grandma Xiao and the eldest son of the Xiao family." As for my name, you have no right to know it. ”
Guo Laohan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he took two steps back, and finally stabilized his figure.
The Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt bad, even if Grandma Xiao came in person this time, she couldn't save them.
The officials came to report that Zhuangzi had been sealed, and all the people inside had been driven away.
Ling Mofeng instructed the team to return to the county office, and said to Liu Qingyan: "Miss Liu is a party to the malicious abuse case, and I also ask the girl to go to the county office with me to make a record." ”
Liu Qingyan lowered her head and smiled, "I will obey my lord's orders." ”
Xiao Qi said to Ling Mofeng: "Don't you invite me to sit at the county office?" ”
