Volume 1 Sand Garden Confrontation Chapter 17 The real drama is fake
Aunt Liu was furious and led a group of maids and servants into the West Cross Courtyard.
Today's Aunt Liu's dress is a little old-fashioned. Dressed in a plain shirt and skirt, the cloud temples are high, and a simple step is inserted, not as showy as usual. Guy made a marriage for Qin Muyao today, she wanted to preside over it personally, and in order to be more in line with the identity of the housewife, she deliberately dressed up in a dignified manner, and it took a lot of thought.
The eldest girl, Cui'er, is Aunt Liu's confidant, so she naturally rushed to the front at this time. With his head held high, he took a few steps up the steps to the door, and was about to push the door. Suddenly, the door opened from the inside, and Qin Chong walked out with a cold face. Cui'er was startled and took a step back.
She retreated subconsciously, completely forgetting that there were steps behind her. Leng Buding stepped on the air, fell down the steps with a "oops", and sat on the ground with his feet in his hands. The sharp pain in his ankle came, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, staring at Qin Chong with tears in his eyes. Qin Chong didn't seem to see it, and looked at Aunt Liu coldly.
"Third young master, why bother bullying a weak woman for a slave." Cui'er sobbed and suddenly said out loud.
"Oh?" When Qin Chong heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly. If you fall yourself, you can frame others? This scheming acting skill made Qin Chong sigh out loud in admiration. Slowly walked down the steps and squatted beside Cui'er. A pair of eyes, staring at Cui'er with a smile, said, "I bullied you, what do you want?" ”
"Me? I? Cui'er was a little stunned for a moment, hesitating and speechless.
According to the logic of normal people, if they are framed by others, their first reaction is naturally to deny it. Therefore, Cui'er thought the same way, and she had an idea, and she accused Qin Zhong by falling. As soon as Qin Chong denied it, he took the opportunity to entangle again, and put on a pretentious performance, which made Qin Chong difficult to argue. Who knows, Qin Chong actually admitted it directly.
Cui'er is also thinking, as a maid, what can she do if she is bullied by the master's family?
"That's enough." Aunt Liu saw that Cui'er had smashed her performance, and she spoke out to relieve the siege.
Qin Chong ignored Aunt Liu, and looked at Cui'er with a smile. Cui'er became more and more cramped, she didn't dare to look at Qin Chong, lowered her head and wept silently, without saying a word. "Otherwise." Qin Chong suddenly said, "Come to my room and be a girl." Hearing this, Cui'er raised her head suddenly.
"You? You, you. "Cui'er opened her eyes wide, you didn't say anything for a long time. A delicate face was quickly dyed with a red glow. In her heart, she couldn't say how she felt. There is shame, anger, surprise and a hint of secret joy. really made a roommate, that is jumping on the branch and making a phoenix.
"Qin Chong, are you here for me?" Aunt Liu said angrily.
"Huh." Hearing this, Qin Chong stood up, looked at Aunt Liu and said, "What? Aunt Liu is reluctant? ”
"You?" Aunt Liu is not light, but there is no way. Now that Qin Yutian is not at home, this Qin Chong seems to have changed his temperament. Aunt Liu suddenly realized that she came recklessly, but she didn't know how to attack. As the master punishes his subordinates, even if he goes to the government, it is not painful, and he is fined two catties of copper.
"I think this little girl is good." Qin Chong walked to Cui'er's side again and said, "It's better to sing and read, it's better to send the opera class to study for two years, and when you return from school, you will sing music for Young Master Ben." ”
"Ma'am." Cui'er was completely panicked, and her face turned pale. was really sent to the drama troupe, and her life would be ruined. In this era, the identity of the actor is extremely low. In a panic, he forgot that his feet hurt, and crawled to Aunt Liu's side, asking for help from Aunt Liu in a mournful and graceful manner.
"It's broken." When Aunt Liu heard Cui'er call out Mrs., her heart was broken.
"Bang."
"Ahh
Sure enough, before Aunt Liu could change her mind, a terrible scream sounded.
Cui'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was already like a rag bag, tumbling and flying out, hitting the wall with a bang, and slowly sliding to the ground. His limbs twitched twice, but there was no movement. Aunt Liu and the other servants were so frightened that they were all over, and they retreated backwards in an uproar, avoiding Qin Zhong from a distance.
That's too ruthless, isn't it? A group of servants, as if they had just met Qin Chong. One by one, their eyes widened, and their mouths were open enough to fit eggs. Qin Chong's actions completely subverted their cognition. Glancing at Cui'er again, her heart trembled suddenly for no reason, for fear that the next person to suffer would be her turn.
The woman in the house, how has she ever seen such ferocity? Everyone knows that Qin Chong is born with divine power, but he has also heard legends, where have he seen it with his own eyes. They have no idea about the so-called innate divine power. Because of this, they used to bully Qin Chong, and they didn't have any psychological burden at all. But today, they were scared.
Cui'er lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
"Girl who doesn't know the rules, I'll teach you a lesson." Qin Chong glanced at Aunt Liu, and when he saw her trembling appearance, he suddenly lost his interest in fighting. A woman in the house, guarding a big piece of the slap, thinks about some trivial things every day. It's not a competition for favor, or it's a fight for beauty, how sad.
"You're just in time." Qin Chong didn't forget his business, so he said, "You should persuade the eldest brother, the people of the Qiu family, it's better to stay away." Just now, Qiu Min has been captured by the Xiaocai battalion, and a catastrophe is coming. ”
"What do you say? Why did you arrest Qiu Min? Aunt Liu's heart tightened suddenly.
"Horse theft." Qin Zhong said in a deep voice.
Aunt Liu's body was weak, she staggered back two steps, and was hurriedly supported by the maid. Aunt Liu's mind was buzzing, and her eyes were black for a while. Obviously, she was not completely ignorant of Qiu Min and Qin Xiao. Recently, Qiu Min and Qin Xiao have been mixing together, and Aunt Liu naturally knows.
After a little thought, it is natural to come to a terrible speculation.
This is exactly Qin Chong's purpose, using the name of horse theft, doing real drama and fake, deliberately inducing Aunt Liu to connect Qin Xiao and Qiu Min. Later, Aunt Liu couldn't find Qin Xiao, so naturally the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.
Aunt Liu's face really changed, she left Qin Chong, and hurriedly ran east across the courtyard. She was anxious to confirm that Qin Xiao was still at home and had not participated in Qiu Min's horse theft. However, the uneasiness in my heart is getting heavier and heavier. I always felt that something bad had happened, and I became more and more flustered, and my body had no strength at all.
Qin Xiao is her only son, and she relies on her for the rest of her life.
Naturally, there was no one in the East Cross Courtyard, and no one knew where Qin Xiao had gone. Aunt Liu's face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and she couldn't walk at all. was held by the servants, and looked over one by one, where was half of Qin Xiao's figure. At this moment, Aunt Liu completely collapsed and shouted, "My son." He fell limply.
The servants were suddenly in confusion, lifted Aunt Liu with their hands and feet, and went to the backyard in a hurry.
Near noon, Sanchuer returned to the West Cross Courtyard and saw Qin Chong. After Xiaohu's house came out, Sanqi'er was sent to keep an eye on the breeding affairs, naturally to confirm that Qiu Min was captured by the Xiaoqi battalion.
"Caught, caught." Sansa'er said excitedly.
Hearing this, Qin Chong also exhaled lightly, and at this point, the matter was complete.
To be honest, calculating Qiu Min today, Qin Chong had some luck. He didn't know how Nei Ying and Qiu Min were in contact with the Breeding Affairs, nor did he know where they were going. However, according to ordinary people, it is not possible to make Neying agree to take risks and secretly drug the foal to fake his death, without huge benefits.
The so-called human heart is not enough to swallow elephants. Therefore, Qin Chong assumed that Nei Ying was greedy for money and wanted to temporarily increase money, so as to lure Qiu Min to meet Nei Ying. As long as the two meet, the Xiaocai battalion ambushed on the side is just captured in one fell swoop.
When Qiu Min and Nei Ying met, Leng Buding killed the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, which was enough to make the two panic and mistakenly think that the Xiao Cavalry Camp had broken the horse theft. Coupled with the old ghost's interrogation methods, it is only a matter of time before the confession is made. In this era, suspicion is the reason for arresting, and as for the evidence of horse theft, it will naturally be there after the trial.
As for the fate of Qiu Min in the future, it depends on whether the Qiu family gives up their wealth.
The crime of stealing horses should be punished according to the law. But in the Great Song Dynasty, it was not impossible to integrate. However, whether this matter can be accommodated depends on the attitude of the presiding judge. He is the one who says black, and he is the one who says white.
In fact, this is also the reason why Qin Chong was forced to study.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the royal family ruled the world together with scholars. In the eyes of the scholars, except for the royal family, the rest are alternative. Clans, martial artists, merchants, etc., are not in the eyes of scholars and doctors at all. Even the emperor is just an ornament. Stiffening the emperor and refuting the edict is a shortcut to the fame of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
If you are not a doctor, you will be inferior after all.
It is said that Qin Yutian and Yao Pingyuan, both of whom are from the eighth grade, belong to the same level. But one article and one martial arts, the gap between them is worlds apart, for so many years, Yao Pingyuan has withheld military salaries, wantonly made difficulties, and Qin Yutian, who was bullied, had no power to fight back. This is the oppression of the class, and in it, there is no power to struggle.
Qin Yutian ordered Qin to study again, which was really resentful, and he was helpless as a military general.
The cavalry battalion has the responsibility to arrest, but it has no right to judge.
The Shayuan Supervisor has the power of civil administration, similar to the case of Qiu Min's horse theft, which should be tried by the Shayuan Supervisor. And when it comes to the case of Xixia's fine work, it is not returned to Shayuan Prison. The distinction between military and civilian is very clear.
Qin Chong had already realized that once he arrived at the Shayuan Prison Yamen, Qiu Min's matter would be very variable.
There are two possibilities. First, the Qiu family is willing to spend money to buy a big thing to turn into a small thing, and a small thing to nothing. However, according to Qin Chong's understanding, the officials of Shayuan Prison are bloodthirsty leeches, and if they don't break the Qiu family's tendons and bones, I'm afraid they won't take a break. Second, the Qiu family is reluctant to spend money, Qiu Min is convicted of crimes, and the death penalty cannot be escaped.
No matter what Qiu Min was, Qin Chong's goal had already been achieved.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. "Third Young Master, the water is coming."
Sanli'er was very surprised, and looked at Qin Zhong inquiringly. When did these servants become well-behaved?
Over the years, the mansion has never paid attention to Qin Chong, and he has made it difficult for him to eat and clothes. For this reason, Sansa'er doesn't know how many grievances he has suffered, but he has nowhere to say. Because Qin Chong himself, he was often hungry and full, and he was even worse than a servant, and he couldn't even take out a copper plate when he was poor.
"What do you see? Wait for Young Master Ben to take a bath. Of course Qin Chong knew that this was the effect of beating Yu Qing violently. From now on, these snobs in the house are afraid that they will have to weigh it carefully.
"Ugh." Sanqi'er sighed exaggeratedly and said, "It would be better if you sent some silver." ”
"Silver." Qin Chong squinted slightly, and said in his heart, it's time to get some silver, as a young master, the poor jingle is not sounding, it is a little shabby. As for reaching out to ask Aunt Liu for money, Qin Chong didn't think about it, he couldn't afford to lose that person. Two lifetimes of human beings, thousands of years of knowledge, can't you earn a little money?
Speaking of silver, Qin Chong reached out and touched it in his arms and took out a silver ticket. This was given to him by Qiu Min this morning, and he didn't care about it at the time, so he put it in his arms. A closer look showed that the words fifty taels were printed on the face of the ticket. Qin Chong pursed his lips and disagreed.
handed it to Sanfeng'er casually and said, "Don't wronged my eldest brother, buy some wine and meat." ”
"Where's the money?" Sanfenger took it and was very surprised.
"A turtle gave it." Qin Zhong said, and went outside, going to the bath room to take a bath. As soon as he took two steps, Sanfang'er behind him suddenly screamed, startling Qin Chong and turning around.
"What? Shocked. Qin Chong asked angrily.
"Fifty taels? It's fifty taels. Sanfang'er's eyes lit up, and his hands clutched the silver ticket.
"What's wrong? Is it fake? Qin Zhong was confused.
"Fifty taels, tsk." Sanfeng'er didn't seem to hear Qin Chong's words, and muttered to himself.
"Is fifty taels a lot?" Qin Chong looked disdainful.
"A lot, of course a lot." Sanqi'er came back to his senses and said exaggeratedly.
Qin Chong had no impression of the purchasing power of fifty taels. Thinking that fifty taels is only five hundred yuan, is it worth making such a fuss?
Nowadays, the price of rice is only 400 copper coins per stone. The price of silver is quite high, generally one tael of silver, can be exchanged for two thousand copper coins. According to this calculation, one tael of silver can buy five stones of rice. One stone is one hundred and fifty catties, and five stones are seven hundred and fifty catties. Fifty taels, isn't that a huge amount of money?
After listening to San'er's explanation, Qin Chong's eyes suddenly widened. The value of silver was beyond his imagination.
And at this moment, Qin Chong had an understanding.
