Chapter Eighty-Four: Together, It's Enough
When the people around heard this, they were all taken aback, Chu Ping and his aunt Qian were the first to react, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "This official, is there any misunderstanding, my nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law are good people, how can they cheat people out of money, this, is this a mistake!" ”
"Good guys and bad guys, the county magistrate will have his own decision!"
Qian felt that the official was saying this, but he didn't believe what he meant, and the county order was decided! No, isn't that just to take people away, and then it's a trick! Hurriedly asked the villagers around for help: "What can I do!" Isn't this wronged, the two children are just selling paper money, who in this village doesn't know, how can you say that you cheat the silver! Folks, hurry up and talk to the officials, these are two good boys! ”
The villagers looked left and right, and they all felt that what the Qian family said was reasonable, the little couple of the Chu family didn't look like that kind of person! It's just that in front of a team of tall officials, wearing official uniforms and wearing big swords at their waists, it is better to have more than one thing.
The fat aunt hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and opened her mouth, this little couple of the Chu family is indeed a good person: "Yes, a few officials and old men, is there something wrong, these two people do business cheaply and honestly, they will not be the ones who cheat people's money!" ”
The young man who was talking to Ding An just now, seeing that these villagers began to question them one by one, with a "swish", he pulled out half of the knife on his waist, stood up and threatened: "When did the government get your intervention in handling the case, why do you want to go back with the master?" ”
This time it was like directly clicking on the mute button, not only the onlookers who had just been worried didn't dare to speak, but even the fat aunt and cousin Qian were scared.
Ding An frowned when he saw this, and was about to step forward when he saw Chu Yi on the opposite side move first.
Chu Yi helped back the startled Qian, handed the Qian family and his wife to Chu Ping, comforted him softly, and then stepped forward and said to Ding An: "This official brother, this matter has nothing to do with other people, I am the owner of this shop, we will cooperate if the government wants to investigate the case, please don't scare the female relatives at home." ”
Ding An looked at Chu Yi, who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, nodded, and motioned to his subordinates to put away the knife and return it to its sheath: "Boss Chu, as long as you are willing to cooperate with the investigation of the case, I guarantee that my subordinates will not do this again, if this matter really has nothing to do with you, after it is determined, I will return your innocence." ”
"Thank you."
Ding An has been observing this young man and woman since the beginning, it seems that they are husband and wife, their reaction is not like most criminals, there is no common lack of heart to avoid, and even the behavior of wanting to take the opportunity to escape, I don't know if it really has nothing to do with them, or a thoughtful habitual offender!
"Someone, open the doors of the shop and the workshop, and go in and search."
"Yes!"
Soon several officials searched out a large number of good silver tickets and paper money from the shop, Ding An stepped forward to take a look, and wondered in his heart, how was it different from what he saw in the county office!
Ding An asked his subordinates who had just come out of the workshop to collect evidence: "Is there any discovery in the workshop?" ”
The subordinate shook his head and handed the thing in his hand to Ding An: "Boss, no, there is either some cut paper in the workshop, or this kind of thing like ingots, and the kind of silver ticket that is not said." ”
"Did you see any molds, printing plates, or anything like that?"
The subordinate shook his head again: "No." ”
Ding An took the silver ticket paper money in his hand and paced in front of Chu Yi: "This kind of paper money is also made by yourself, why haven't you seen something like a mold printing plate?" ”
Chu Yi replied calmly: "The silver ticket paper money was made with the help of my cousin, and the mold is in her." ”
"Cheng, Boss Chu has to go to the county government with us, and go directly to get the mold by the way."
Shen Luzhu saw that these officials were going to take Chu Yi away, so he quickly broke free of Chu Xiuxiu's hand and stepped forward quickly: "I'm with you!" ”
"Azhu, you are obedient, I will be back soon."
Shen Luzhu shook his head, crossed Chu Yi and walked directly in front of Ding An: "If you want to arrest me, take it away with me!" ”
"Azhu!"
Ding An's eyes wandered between the two of them a few times, and he really didn't understand why this girl had to follow: "Are you sure?" ”
"Brother Guancha, don't listen to her!"
Shen Luzhu ignored Chu Yi's obstruction and continued to say to Ding An: "I am his wife and the owner of this shop, what to do in the workshop, how to do it, and what to sell in the shop, all of them are my ideas!" ”
Ding looked at the woman in front of him steadily, and ordered the subordinates beside him, "Take her with you." ”
"Yes!"
"Sister-in-law!"
"Xiuxiu, you are obedient at home, help your sister-in-law take care of Chu Li, and when he comes back from the school, tell him that I have nothing to do with his brother, and I will come back soon, let him eat and study at home, and Xiuxiu you too, sister-in-law will come back to test your homework!"
Saying that, Shen Luzhu was in Xiuxiu's ear, and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Xiuxiu, the money in the shop, and under the kang cabinet in my sister-in-law's house, you reach out and touch it, the silver ticket in the mezzanine, when there is no one around, you go and take it out and collect it yourself, and the house will be handed over to you." ”
"Sister-in-law!" Chu Xiuxiu looked at her sister-in-law in shock!
Shen Luzhu patted Xiuxiu's shoulder, turned to Qian and said, "Uncle and aunt, the family will leave it to you for the time being." ”
After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he walked to Chu Yi's side and stood still, and turned his head and grinned at him.
"Azhu ......"
"Chu Yi, we haven't done it yet, but let's go and cooperate with the investigation, at most we will ask, isn't it!"
Chu Yi sighed: "Then what do you have to follow?" ”
Shen Luzhu said and wrapped his hands around Chu Yi's arm: "You are my father-in-law, of course I have to follow you anytime and anywhere, don't want to get rid of me!" ”
Although they said so, the little couple didn't know what was waiting for them in front of them, and now the official just wanted to take them back for questioning, but what if they couldn't prove that it wasn't themselves? What if you encounter corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and you can just pull them as scapegoats and disregard people's lives?
Everything is unknown, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Yi wants to take on everything alone, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Luzhu must go with him!
No matter what they encounter on the road ahead, at least they are together as husband and wife, and it is enough!
Chu Yi looked at him and forced his composure in front of him, trying to comfort his little wife with a joke, and reached out to hold her slightly trembling hand tightly: "Okay, let's be together." ”
"Let's go, get on the road early, we still have to go get the mold!"
With Ding An's order, the little couple was taken away from the sight of everyone in the mountain village by a group of officials, Ding An's footsteps were slow, and he gradually fell at the end of the line, and when there were no more onlookers in the four villagers, he came to the side of a slightly older catcher at the end of the team and whispered softly.
The little couple who were leading the official to Jiang Juan's house at the head of the team did not notice that the older catcher took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly left the team with another catcher.
At noon, the door of Jiang's house was suddenly smashed by someone, Jiang Quan thought that Wang Tiecheng's bastard was looking for trouble again, and as soon as he opened the door and was about to teach a lesson, he was shocked by the scene in front of him: "Cousin, cousin!" What's wrong with you guys? Daddy, Auntie, Sister, come out! ”
"Ayi, what's wrong with you? What's going on? ”
"Cousin, cousin!"
"It's okay, auntie, don't worry."
Chu Yi only had time to say this sentence before Ding An picked it up, he looked at the only young woman in the Jiang family's courtyard and asked, "You are their cousin?" ”
"Yes, it's me."
"The county government is handling the case, bring me the mold they asked you to make the silver ticket paper money."
Jiang Juan looked at Shen Luzhu in confusion, but before Shen Luzhu could say anything, Ding An blocked her vision: "What, is there a problem?" ”
"Ah, no, wait a minute, sir."
Jiang Juan took out the printing plate made by Chu Yi himself from the room and handed it to Ding An, Ding An took it in his hand and turned it upside down, and continued to ask with a cold face: "That's it, nothing else?" ”
Seeing this posture, Jiang Juan shook her head a little frightened: "No." ”
Ding An didn't look like she was lying, so he stopped asking, turned around and handed the printing plate to his subordinates behind him: "Let's go!" ”
Jiang Juan saw that her cousin and sister-in-law were about to be taken away, so she hesitated and ran forward to stop Ding An, and asked anxiously: "This official, what's wrong with my cousin and sister-in-law?" Where is this going to take them? ”
Ding An looked at the woman in front of him who was obviously very scared, but still rushed over to stop him, thought about it and answered her question: "The government investigates the case, take them back to cooperate with the investigation, and they will be released if there is no problem." ”
"Investigating the case?"
Without waiting for Jiang Juan, who looked confused, to continue to ask, Ding An had already left the front of Jiang's house with everyone quickly.
The Jiang family couldn't eat anymore, Jiang Juan and Jiang Quan's two sisters and brothers hurriedly ran to the Chu family in the mountain village to inquire about the news, and before they walked to the door of the Chu family, they ran into the second uncle and cousin Cui Yan of the Cui family who also heard the rumors and came to the Chu family.
The four of them went to Chu's house together, and finally learned the cause and effect of the incident from Chu Pingna, who was comforting Chu Li, Chu Li's little face was red from crying, and while constantly wiping his tears with his sleeves, he kept asking him Xiuxiu's cousin, what did his brother and sister-in-law say when they left, and when would they be able to go home.
The Chu family made a pot of porridge, in addition to the Jiang family and the Cui family, as well as the Shen family on the other side of the river, there were constantly relatives, friends or villagers who heard the news and rushed over.
Grandpa Chu was stunned at first, but then she seemed to feel that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no room for maneuver, so Grandma Chu began to constantly clear up her relationship with the paper money shop, and would bring a few bad words about Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu from time to time.
"This shop has nothing to do with our Chu family, the two little ones have to make it themselves, I didn't agree with the old man at the beginning, but you see now, it's really a crime!"
Second Aunt Shen glanced at the old lady who was trying her best to clear up the relationship, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many outsiders now, I really want to step forward and scold her, how can my niece make money, and all the food and drink she sells go into the dog's belly?
Who knew that this old lady would forget about the relationship, and she was still spitting feces and babbling nonsense!
"Those two little ones are the ones who listen to the elders, they can't be scolded, and they play tricks with the family at every turn, and they have a big idea!"
Mother Shen and Second Aunt Shen couldn't listen to it anymore, and were about to step forward to theorize, when they saw Chu Ping and his grandmother Yu Old Lady, they directly stepped forward and pushed Grandma Chu: "I see that you are frightened by the battle of Fang Cai, and no one even knows your surname, Qian, why don't you help your cousin into the house, and then talk nonsense here, be careful of being tied up by someone as a madman!" ”
Grandma Chu was a little afraid of this sister-in-law who lived next door to them when she was young, but then she gradually got older, each family has its own affairs, and Mrs. Yu is not a nosy person, so she slowly eased up, and now when she sees the other party's threatening words, she dares to make a mistake, and she is sent back to the main house by the Qian family!
This is not the end, Mrs. Yu stood in front of the door of the hall, and also warned Grandpa Chu, who was squatting on the steps and smoking a dry tobacco pouch: "I said that my cousin should also take care of his wife, the children haven't done much, and when the grandmother is given the guilt first, I'm afraid that others don't know, you two old people are too biased, aren't they!" ”
