When several people returned to the room, Chen Xiao asked Cao Yong, what was going on?

Cao Yong said that the three of them were playing in the garden, and when they passed a room, they heard a little girl tied inside, with her mouth gagged and crying.

They also knew that this was Yihongyuan's business and should not be nosy, but out of curiosity, the three of them wanted to see what was going on. They leaned against the window and looked in and saw a scary scene, and the three of them were scared away.

"What do you see?" Chen Xiao asked.

"This ...... This ...... "Cao Yong is hesitant."

"What the hell do you see?" Chen Xiao asked again.

Cao Yong looked embarrassed: "The owner, it's not good to tell you." ”

He thought about it, leaned closer to Fang Yu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Nie Feng was also curious and asked, "What did you see?" ”

Fang Yu motioned to Cao Yong to tell him.

Cao Yong whispered a few more words in Nie Feng's ear.

Nie Feng's face froze, and he asked, "Who is the man in that room?" ”

"It's Lord Xu, the county lieutenant." It was Xiao Shi who told him that the man was the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is responsible for the security of a county and is an official position under the county order.

Nie Feng thought about it, sighed, and didn't say anything.

Chen Xiao saw them muttering, but he didn't tell himself, and said angrily: "What did he do? ”

Fang Yu saw that she was about to get angry, thought about it, and told her in his ear.

It's something you must know, don't say I pollute you. Fang Yu thought to himself.

After Chen Xiao heard this, his face turned gloomy.

A county lieutenant actually did such a thing to an eleven-year-old girl, no wonder she threw herself into a well.

Chen Xiao asked Cao Yong: "What happened later?" Why did the steward say that you were slighting Lian'er? ”

"Then we met Lian'er, who was pulling grass in the garden to eat. She vomited while eating, and kept crying. We used to tell her that some of the weeds on the ground were poisonous and could not be eaten. She asked us which grasses were poisonous, and we pointed out a few, but she didn't expect that she would pull out the poisonous ones and eat them. We hurriedly asked her to throw it out, but she didn't throw it up, so we helped her out of it. ”

Chen Xiao understood why she was like this. She probably wanted to get the filth out of her mouth. Specializing in eating poisonous weeds, she didn't want to live anymore at that time.

After pulling it out, she ran away crying. We thought she might not be able to think about it, so we chased after her. So she ran into the yard and jumped into the well at once. ”

After hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a heavy heart.

was once a famous daughter, but now it has fallen to such a state. If she were her, she might have committed suicide a long time ago, and would rather die than be ruined.

Alas! She let out a long sigh.

Chen Xiao asked Nie Feng: "Can Lian'er redeem herself?" ”

Nie Feng shook his head.

"Just let a little girl go!" Chen Xiaodao.

"It's not that I don't let it go, it's her age and identity! Even her sister would have to wait at least five years before she could redeem herself. Lian'er was only eleven years old, and she would not be able to redeem herself until at least eighteen. ”

Lian'er's sister Xie Yunqing is seventeen years old. She originally decided to marry, but because her father had an accident, she retired. Their whole family was put in prison, and when the trial was concluded, they were beheaded, exiled, and enslaved.

"What kind of rule is this?"

"This is the rule for the family members of the offender to rush into prostitutes. They were okay and came to the Qinglou. If you go to a brothel, how can you be treated like this. "Qinglou is not forced to sell himself, but mainly performs.

Chen Xiao sighed. That county lieutenant, if you can do it the first time, you can do it the second time. Lian'er's identity is a slave prostitute, where does she go to seek refuge? Her sister couldn't protect herself. Look at Nie Feng again, he also looks like he is resigned to it.

What hope can you have for a turtle male?

Chen Xiao squinted at Nie Feng, sneered at him, and shook his head.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Nie Feng looked at her and sneered at herself.

"Nothing! Ask someone to serve food, hungry. ”

Chen Xiao pursued the matter, just to return the innocence of the three of Xiaoshi. She believed the three of them weren't that kind of people.

The dishes were all ready, Nie Feng accompanied a few of them to eat together, and while they were eating, someone came to invite Nie Feng, saying that it was the county lieutenant who was drinking there and invited him over.

Nie Feng was temporarily absent from him, and went over to have a few drinks with the county lieutenant. It is not uncommon for this kind of "general manager" to accompany important guests for a drink.

After a while, Xiaoshi came to change his clothes.

Chen Xiao, Fang Yu, Xiaoshi, Cao Yong, Erlong, the five of them ate and drank.

It's also good to bring employees out for dinner once in a while.

Chen Xiao talked about her future plans. When the chili peppers in Nangou Village are ripe, she wants to open a new store, and let the three of them pay attention to the county store, and rent it if there is a suitable one. At that time, Chun Kee Snack House will sell rice noodles as usual, and the main dish of the new store will sell spicy chicken.

She plans to train them in cooking now, and then Chunhong will be in charge of the snack restaurant, and the three of them will be in charge of the new restaurant.

As long as they work hard, she will give them a part of the equity, and then they will not be paid guys, but shareholders who will take profit sharing.

Chen Xiao described the future prospects, and the three guys listened with great excitement.

Cao Yong and Erlong said that many people in their village want to come to the county seat to find work, and there will be no shortage of manpower. Including planting chili peppers, they can also grow them in their village. Even tomorrow they can go back and let their father and mother grow chili peppers.

Several people were talking and laughing, eating and drinking.

Just listen to the sound of the door being kicked open in a row outside with a bang.

With a bang, their door was kicked open.

The five of them stopped their chopsticks, only to see Nie Feng pulling a middle-aged man who was a little staggering, as if he was going to pull him away.

Behind the two, a middle-aged man said:

"Hey, Mrs. Chen is here!"

Chen Xiao raised his eyes and recognized that the person who spoke was a person sitting at the top seat at the county banquet on the day of the singing festival.

This person is Li Mingyu of Longshun Firm. No one introduced everyone to Chen Xiao that day, except for the one who introduced herself, she didn't know anyone else.

"You are 'Ha Mei' Chen Niangzi?" The man walked in.

"Lord Xu, let's go back and drink, go back and drink." Nie Feng pulled the man hard, trying to pull him back.

"Don't pull me."

Lord Xu lifted Nie Feng's hand, staggered to the table, and said to Chen Xiao:

"I heard that you toasted with Lord Min eighteen times that day and took off all of Lord Min's clothes?" He laughed and continued:

"Today, you also came to play eighteen cups with us, and if you lose, take off your pants!"

Lord Xu was obviously drunk, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he showed a confused expression.

Nie Feng pulled him and persuaded him with good words: "Lord Xu, you are already drunk and can't drink anymore." ”

Master Xu lifted his hand again and spoke with a big tongue: "I'm drunk and can't drink anymore, but my people aren't drunk yet." ”

As he spoke, he pointed out the door: "You guys, come in and drink with Mrs. Chen." Take off your pants when you drink and lose! ”

He laughed as he said a drunken hazy "hey, hey, hey".

Chen Xiao hated seeing this kind of drunkard. Hearing Nie Feng call him "Lord Xu", she turned her head sideways and asked Xiao Shi:

"Is he the county lieutenant and Lord Xu who bullied Lian'er?"

"Yes." Little Stone nodded.

The highest official in a county is the county magistrate, followed by the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.

For small people like Xiao Shi, these people are big officials, and they are people who must not be offended.
