It wasn't until it was dark that Master Zhou came to call Qi Ning: "My lord passed you over, the Zhong family father and son said that the Qi family eloped with the eldest girl, they didn't know any news, the king dog didn't catch it, and it is estimated that he ran away early." You talk carefully. ”

"Hmm." Qi Ning nodded gratefully and followed Master Zhou to the lobby again.

"The folk girl Qi Ning has seen the adult." Qi Ning knelt down consciously.

"Qi Ning, Zhong Dashan said that the Qi family eloped with the eldest girl, do you know?"

"Back to my lord, a few days ago, the Qi family came to beg me to save the big girl, saying that Zhong Dashan followed Wang Gouzi to play money, lost the family's money and stalls to Wang Gouzi, and wanted to use Zhong Daya, who was not yet in time, to gamble. I am alone with a woman, so I can only persuade her to escape with the eldest girl and find a way to live. If the Qi family has an adulterer, how can they beg me, not to mention that the Zhong family has abandoned the Qi family, the Qi family can be coaxed back by Zhong Dashan with a few good words, and also gave me the recipe for making lo-mei to Zhong Dashan, if the Qi family has an adulterer, how can the Qi family go back, the Qi family was driven out of the Zhong family because Zhong Dashan hooked up with a widow with the same surname in the village, the widow said that she was pregnant with Zhong Dashan's child, and the Zhong family ruthlessly and unjustly drove the Qi family and the big girl out of the door. They can do such a thing that loses their conscience, and the Qi family can still ignore the past suspicions, which shows that the Qi family has always had Zhong Dashan in his heart, when the Qi family worked in my store, he was only in the back every day, and he couldn't see outsiders at all, where was the opportunity to find an adulterer? Please be aware of it. ”

After Qi Ning finished speaking, she looked at the two Zhong family members kneeling beside her.

"Adult, the villain was wronged, that recipe was my mother-in-law's dowry, and then Qi Ning's girl's father also ran away, we saw that she was pitiful and took her in, who knew that she stole the recipe and ran away, and then my mother-in-law found her, but she was pitiful and helpless, so she also used the recipe of lo-mei, the villain was angry for a while to repair Qi's family, and then Qi was tormented by Qi Ning, and the villain was soft-hearted for a while before letting her come back."

"My lord, what the people said has been testified, the people of Zhongjia Village can testify why Zhong Dashan abandoned the Qi family, when I was taken back to the Zhong family by the Qi family, the Zhong family was unwilling to take me in, I left the next morning when I woke up, and then I stood in the city, and the owner of the car brought food to the Qi family and daughter, and told them the address of my shop, so that they had time to come to me, these can be asked by the car owner. Qi's mother and daughter were kicked out by the Zhong family, and they were frozen and hungry under the eaves of the ancestral hall for two days before they went to the city to look for me. Qi's days with me are not out, and my neighbors can testify. Besides, if that recipe is the dowry of the Qi family, why did the Qi family marry the Zhong family for more than ten years, and the Zhong family has never done this business? When Zhong Dashan went to me to find Qi and the eldest girl with bad intentions, I knew that he was eyeing my shop, but after all, they were a family, and I couldn't stop them from breaking the mirror and reuniting, so I took them to the inn that night and paid them the room money, and these innkeepers can testify. Now that the eldest girl has died tragically, Zhong Dashan is thinking about what kind of prescription he is, he doesn't care about his daughter at all, and there is no trace of grief on his face, just think about what a normal father should say. I suspect that Zhong Dashan has something to do with the murderer, at least he knows about it. ”

"My lord, what Miss Qi said is true, the little ones went to Zhongjia Village to inquire, Zhong Dashan is indeed the Qi family who fornicated with the widow. The widow stole the Zhong family's money and ran away, so Zhong Dashan went to the city to find the Qi family, and then the Zhong brothers suddenly opened a lo-mei shop in the city, but they moved out and set up a stall because of bad business for a while. Zhong Dashan did lose a lot of money, and he wanted to make a fuss about Zhong Daya's gambling debts, and everyone in Zhongjia Village knew about it. ”

"Come on, pull Zhong Dashan down and hit the 20th board." The prefect slapped the shocked wood heavily.

"The adult spares his life, the villain is wrong, but the villain really doesn't know where the Qi family took the eldest girl?" Zhong Dashan was dragged out by the servants and screamed, and the sound of bursts of wooden sticks hitting the flesh came in with Zhong Dashan's screams.

"You girl is too ruthless, even if you resent us for not taking you in the first place, you shouldn't have wronged the mountain and harmed the girl." Zhong Laoshi, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Ning with a fierce look in his eyes.

"If I were ruthless, I wouldn't care about this matter today, when the Qi family and Zhong Daya ignored my friendship of taking them in, they stole my recipe for you to use. It's that your Zhong family, young and old, are ruthless wolves, how can it not matter to me as an outsider, the eldest girl is your own granddaughter. You watched Zhong Dashan use her to gamble, and now that she was killed and thrown into the river, you don't care, what do you mean by blindly questioning me? Are you also a murderer? Are you trying to confuse the public? ”

"You, you, me, my poor granddaughter....." Zhong Lao, who was not good at words, made Qi Ning stammered excitedly in a few words, and couldn't say why.

"Smack." Lord Xiao patted the shocked wood: "There is no noise above the public court." ”

"My lord, have you ever asked about the whereabouts of the Qi clan? If you find the Qi family, the matter should be revealed to the world. Qi Ning knelt and looked at the adults in the hall.

"Wang Gouzi has never been arrested, and Qi's whereabouts are now unknown. Do you know where she's going? ”

"Qi doesn't have any ideas, let alone guts, I guess she should go back to her relatives if she runs away, but my parents are dead. I had a serious illness back then, and I don't remember a lot of things, and I can't say that there will be other relatives who will let the Qi family defect. ”

As he was talking, Zhong Dashan, who had been beaten, was dragged in by the officials.

"My lord, the small one is recruited, after the Qi family ran away with the big girl, Wang Gouzi forced me to ask for someone, if I can't hand over the person, I will pay back the silver, I can't take out the silver and went to Qi's maiden village to inquire, and then found their mother and daughter at Qi's aunt's house, I didn't dare to alarm them, and I told Wang Gouzi when I came back. The villain really doesn't know what happened in the back. I beg the adults to avenge the little girl. ”

Zhong Dashan cried with snot and tears.

"Come on, take the Zhong father and son to the cell first, Qi Ning will go back first, and take Zhong Dashan to Qi's aunt's house tomorrow to identify." After speaking, the prefect stood up and walked back.

"Quit!" The officials shouted in unison.

Qi Ning stood up and held her sore legs, watched the Zhong father and son being taken away, and went out with Master Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, what should I do with the eldest girl?" Can I go and bury her? ”

"Don't worry about it for now, Zhong Daya has been pulled away by Yizhuang, and someone from Zhongjia Village will pull it back tomorrow."

"Then I'll go back first, thank you, uncle." Qi Ning dragged his tired body home by the bright light of the roadside shop.
