Chapter 31: Redemption
Qin Feng and the others made a way, and Fan County Ling came over, and there were four officials, two in front and two in the back.
Zhao Qianqian asked Ling Feng to take the disciples in the camp into the courtyard for breakfast, and he stayed outside, Ling Feng was a little uneasy, and said something to the people who were cooking outside, and then entered the courtyard.
Qin Feng saw the order of Fan County coming, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Uncle! ”
"Hmm!" Fan Xian Ling snorted and didn't look at Qin Feng.
Walked to the pastry shop and stopped, Fan County Ling looked up and saw the plaque above that read: "Future Nut Shop"
This is the signboard that Zhao Qianqian changed yesterday, and it used to be a pastry shop, and she planned to finish collecting the chestnuts on the mountain and holding an opening ceremony.
The decoration of the shop is simple and elegant, and it is very neat.
There is an iron bucket on the left side of the door, and a piece of paper is pasted on the iron bucket with the words "garbage can" written on it, and a picture is drawn under the word, which is a hand throwing garbage into the garbage can.
Fan County Ling nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to Zhao Qianqian and said: "I heard Qin Feng say, this store was opened by you, this store is doing well, I can't imagine that you can lead a group of beggars to make a living at such a young age, it's really rare!" ”
Zhao Qianqian bowed his hand: "The county order has been awarded, I just want to fill my stomach." ”
Originally, Qin Feng went to complain to Fan County, but her top baby was taken away by Zhao Qianqian.
My aunt has not gone out since the incident, and now when she sees him, she throws something and hits him, begging her aunt to be hopeless, so he has the courage to go to see the county commander of Fan.
When she arrived at Yamen, Qin Feng added fuel and vinegar, saying that there was a poisonous woman surnamed Zhao, who punched and kicked him and a group of beggars, asking them to make cattle and horses for her, and she also forced everyone to go up the mountain to steal some unknown things on the mountain, forcing everyone to eat them, and if everyone ate it without poison, she would take it out and sell it for money.
After listening to Qin Feng's words, Fan County Ling already knew in his heart who he was talking about.
As early as the first time she saw the poisonous woman in Qin Feng's mouth, the poisonous woman in her mouth had already eaten the forbidden fruit that he said was poisonous, and the so-called poisonous and forbidden fruit was just a rumor in Qingyun County, and it has not been verified so far, since she ate it and there was no poison, the rumor was self-defeating.
She bought that mountain, so naturally it was not stolen.
The first time he saw the girl, he thought she was inexplicably convincing.
Not as vicious as Qin Feng's mouth.
Shen Junchen is not an ordinary person, the person who can come forward to help, the county order can be trusted.
On the other hand, Qin Feng, who grew up in Fanfu when he was a child, how much Qin Feng said was true, he knew very well in his heart, his words were ninety percent water, one percent was genuine, listening to his words, he would definitely be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
Fan County Ling came over today to see if the persecuted beggar in Qin Feng's mouth was really as miserable as he said, after all, it was the safety of dozens of people, and he couldn't just rely on intuition to believe in a person.
Fan Xian Ling walked to the front of the big stove, and saw the white flour steamed buns and white rice porridge in the big cage, at this time, the people inside came out to receive the steamed buns after eating, and there were also people who came to scoop the porridge.
Such a well-fed white flour steamed bun and white rice porridge, even ordinary civilians can't eat it every day, let alone a group of beggars.
The person I just saw came out to take steamed buns and scoop porridge did not look like a beggar, although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he was clean and tidy, and he did not look like a sloppy beggar.
When he came from the yamen, he didn't see any beggars on the street, so as soon as he went out, he was begging for food with sticks everywhere.
Looking at it this way, this Zhao girl also did a good deed for Qingyun County.
However, one yard is one yard, and it is not in line with the law of a thousand years for her to take Qin Feng's roommate directly from the house.
This matter of accompanying the maid in Qin Feng's house, Fan County Commander heard the eldest lady mention it.
When I bought Chengshuang, I said that I bought it as a room maid, and the other party didn't say that I didn't want to, but after buying it for more than a year, Qin Feng didn't even touch the side, and the girl didn't obey.
Beat and scolded, scolded and scolded, that girl was very stubborn, and she refused to give in.
It was disgraceful to pour and drink that kind of medicine, and the eldest lady pushed it all to her two mothers-in-law.
The two mothers-in-law have been with her for decades, although they can't bear it, the two mothers-in-law on the left and right also let Fan Chen send them back, and the pot let them both carry it.
Since it is a bought companion maid, as long as it does not cause trouble, the master has no right to ask how to discipline others, let alone take it away.
The people in the courtyard ate about the same, and they took out the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the dishwashing basin and returned to the courtyard to gather.
The courtyard door was not closed again, Ling Feng roughly divided the work of the team members, leaving a team of people to go to the warehouse to dry walnuts and stir fruit drinks, and then go to carry some sand back, the sand in front of him was almost used up, and at least thirty percent of the chestnuts were not finished.
After Ling Feng finished arranging, everyone set off for their respective destinations.
Fan County Ling looked at Ling Feng's orderly arrangement, with a smile on his face, and kept nodding lightly.
Where the county order does not speak, others dare not make a sound, in this Qingyun County, the county order is their day, like some people in remote mountain villages and towns, they have never had the opportunity to see the county master in their lives.
After seeing everyone leave, Fan Xian Ling glanced coldly at the dozen thugs behind Qin Feng.
Qin Feng shrank his head into his neck, and the dozen or so people behind him did not bow their heads, but raised their heads, looking like they were not afraid of heaven and earth.
Fan County Ling glanced at Qin Feng: "These people you are looking for there, let them leave quickly, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Qin Feng turned around and asked more than a dozen people to leave the Future Nut Shop.
Zhao Qianqian saw that the county order seemed to have something to say, so he invited him and Qin Feng into the courtyard, and the county order asked a few officials to wait outside the door, and Qin Feng closed the courtyard door.
Zhao Qianqian poured a cup of tea for Fan County Ling and Qin Feng, and Fan County Ling got straight to the point.
"This official came to Miss Zhao today to confirm one thing, and asked Miss Zhao to tell the truth."
When Qin Feng heard this, his body straightened, and it was finally his turn to do his business.
Zhao Qian said with a shallow smile: "My lord, please say, the folk girl must answer truthfully." ”
Fan County ordered: "A few days ago, did the girl take a maid away from Qin Feng's mansion?" ”
"Yes."
"Since the girl knows that she is the maid in Qin Feng's mansion, why did she take people away, this is not in line with the law of the country."
The tone of the county commander has always been very gentle, and there is no oppressive official arrogance.
Zhao Qianqian said: "My lord, in the law, it is true that the maid belongs to the master, although I have no right to ask, but if the adult saw what happened to Chengshuang that day, he must have done the same." ”
"Oh, tell me about it!"
"At that time, Cheng Shuang's whole body was blurred with blood, her hands were tied, and Mrs. Zun's two grandmothers had to forcibly pour medicine on her to satisfy Qin Feng's selfish desires.
Zhao Qianqian continued: "I have seen the wounds on Chengshuang's body, the old wounds have not healed and new wounds have been added, and there are scars left after they have healed...... I talked to Chengshuang, she wants to redeem herself, and I hope that the adult can fulfill it! ”
Thinking of the injuries on Chengshuang's body, Zhao Qianqian's eyes were full of tears, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
That day, I brought Chengshuang back and cleaned her wounds, and Chengshuang fainted several times, which can be said to be a trip to the ghost gate.
Fan Xian Ling glared at Qin Feng coldly, and Qin Feng lowered his head weakly.
There was silence.
After a while, the county magistrate broke the silence: "Can you invite Miss Chengshuang to come out and see her?" ”
Zhao Qianqian thought about it and nodded, got up and walked out of the future nut shop.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Qianqian took Chengshuang into the future nut shop.
Chengshuang is indeed a rare beauty, standing there like a hibiscus out of the water, delicate but not bewitching, but in the eyes of autumn water, there is a complex look at the bottom of the eyes, which is elusive.
After a few days of recuperation at Zhao Qianqian's house, his complexion has improved a lot, and the injuries on his body have scabbed, but they are still a little red and swollen.
"I've seen my lord!" Chengshuang knelt down and bowed.
"This is not a yamen, you don't need to salute, you get up and talk back."
When Chengshuang knelt down, Fan County Commander saw that there were unhealed wounds on her hands and neck, and those injuries were formed by whipping, although it was still red and swollen after four or five days, which showed the ruthlessness of the hand.
Fan Xian Ling's heart was pumped, and he took a deep breath: "I heard Miss Zhao say that you want to redeem yourself, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Yes, sir." Chengshuang bowed.
"Do you know how much silver is needed to redeem oneself? You are a woman, what else can you do besides being a maid? It's not so easy to be a maid to redeem yourself. ”
It is indeed very difficult for women to make money in Qianqiu country, women have a low status, and to do the same thing, women pay at least ten times more than men.
A maid costs a few hundred dollars a month, and ordinary people have to take back their parents' family to subsidize their families, and they have little left.
Cheng Shuang raised her head: "The slave doesn't know, but the slave will work hard to make money." ”
Qin Feng said: "Do you know how much silver my aunt spent to buy you from your brother?" Fifty taels of silver, where did you get fifty taels of silver, and besides, I, I won't sell it now. ”
Chengshuang said: "Young master, let me go, it's the slave maid who has no blessing to serve you, and it's bad for you to leave my slave and maid in the mansion to watch, so it's better to let the slave and maid go." ”
Fan County ordered: "Since she wants to redeem herself, you should fulfill her, turn around and ask your aunt to give you a family affair, and you should also start a family." ”
Qin Feng had a bitter face: "However, I just like her, in the whole house, only she is really good to me, everyone else is yang and yin, and none of them are really good to me." ”
Fan County Ling said angrily: "Since Chengshuang is really good to you, why do you still treat others like this?" Aren't you revenge? Look at how ruthless you are, I really don't know how your aunt raised you. ”
Qin Feng looked aggrieved, but he couldn't say that his aunt had asked someone to beat him.
Mrs. Fan has always been angry with the frost, and it is also because the subordinates in Qin Feng's mansion have sued the frost.
"I promise that no one will beat you in the future, will you go back with me?" Qin Feng said and walked in front of Cheng Shuang.
Chengshuang took two steps behind: "I still hope that the young master will be successful, and I will save enough money to return to the young master." ”
Fan County Ling said in a deep voice: "Come back to me, since Chengshuang is unwilling to go back to the house, you can let her redeem herself, and she will be fine in the future, and don't be entangled anymore." ”
Qin Feng turned his face sideways: "That's okay, one hundred and fifty taels, it's a lot, if you have silver today, you can redeem yourself, and you can't redeem yourself if you don't have silver today." ”
After speaking, Qin Feng looked stunned, being a maid for a few hundred dollars a month, saving enough for one hundred and fifty taels, at least thirty years, depending on whether you are stubborn or my silver is tough.
Not to mention one hundred and fifty taels, two taels of silver Chengshuang can't be taken out, her brother bought her and came to the Qin Mansion every month to advance her monthly money, and he didn't leave money for Chengshuang at all.
Zhao Qian's shallow fried hair, this Qin Feng bought someone to abuse, and the redemption had to be multiplied several times, it was simply a scumbag.
Zhao Qianqian resisted the urge to beat Qin Feng violently, and took a deep breath: "Qin Feng, you owe me the silver, and you haven't paid it back this month, did you come over to pay the silver today?" ”
When the county magistrate heard that Qin Feng owed money outside, his face sank: "Are you still in debt outside?" ”
Qin Feng immediately waved his hand, "No, no, Miss Zhao is joking, Miss Zhao, Chengshuang's redemption will be based on the purchase price, fifty taels of silver, one hand to pay the silver, and the other hand to hand over the deed of sale." ”
"It's a deal! Please testify! ”
After Zhao Qianqian finished speaking, he took out a fifty taels of silver ticket from his bag and raised it in his hand: "We will now go to the mansion with you to get the deed of sale, hand over the silver with one hand, and hand over the deed of sale with the other." ”
Fan County Ling nodded, got up and walked out.
