Chapter 52: Making Something Out of Nothing

Huang Xiaocui gave an order, and the sturdy peasant men behind her rushed up and surrounded Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu in the middle.

When the rest of the Xiao family saw this situation, they were already so frightened that they hid to the side, whispering to see the excitement.

"What are you going to do?" Song Qingyou didn't panic at all, just looked at Huang Xiaocui coldly and asked.

Huang Xiaocui's face was fierce, "What are you pretending?" You little, you dare to steal the old lady's things! Acquaintances hurry up and hand them over to me, or I'll let them beat you to death!" ”

She gritted her teeth, looking at it, as if she was going to eat Song Qingyou.

Song Qingyou can understand, after all, everything in Huang Xiaocui's treasury has been taken away by her, regardless of whether it is gold and silver treasures or fruits, vegetables and grains, she has not left a single rice husk.

The storeroom was as clean as if it had been licked by a dog......

It's no wonder that Huang Xiaocui is angry like this.

"Aunt Huang, you have to talk about evidence, right? I, an exiled prisoner, spend all day and night under the noses of officials, how can I go and steal your family's words? Besides, you tell me what I stole from your house? ”

Song Qingyou first helped Xiao Qishu throw the bag of seeds on the ground, and then confronted Huang Xiaocui unhurriedly.

Huang Xiaocui's face was pale, and she couldn't care about much, so she pointed at Song Qingyou's nose and shouted, "Who do you call Aunt Huang?!" You have stolen all the gold, silver and jewels I have accumulated over the years, and you have stolen my family's food! I won't let you go! ”

"Oh? What about the evidence? Song Qingyou spread out his hands and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Humph! I have all the human and physical evidence! It's useless for you to quibble! When Huang Xiaocui heard the word evidence, she seemed to suddenly have a backbone, she raised her hand, and a thin man behind her immediately ran forward.

The man was holding two hairpins in his hands, which were worn by Huang Xiaocui two days ago.

"You stole my things and went to the city to exchange money. The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was Ersunoko's brother-in-law, and he recognized the hairpin as mine, and sent Ersunoko back early in the morning to tell me. ”

Huang Xiaocui took out a small bag of silver from his arms while arranging Song Qingyou, shook it gently, and the bag rattled, "I also turned over this pocket of silver from under the board car you were sitting in, and even the money bag belongs to my family!" Everyone has stolen money, what do you have to say now? ”

When these things were taken out, Song Qingyou almost laughed.

This Huang Xiaocui is really very thoughtful.

She couldn't find evidence of Song Qingyou's stealing, and she was unwilling to let so many ill-gotten gains be stolen, so she directly took out the little money she had left to frame Song Qingyou.

even found two people who committed perjury, but it was really difficult for her.

The official on the side was also stunned, looked at Huang Xiaocui, and then at Song Qingyou, and after thinking about it, he still believed the former.

"Now that you have the evidence, what are you going to do with her?" This matter involves ordinary people, and officials can't make claims without permission, he originally wanted to report to the official if he didn't do it, and asked Huang Xiaocui to follow her own words.

But Huang Xiaocui has a ghost in her heart, how can she report to the official?

She had to hold Song Qingyou in her hands, so that she could have the opportunity to interrogate her and retrieve her gold and silver treasures.

The most important thing is the account book!

Complicated emotions flashed on Huang Xiaocui's face, her eyes rolled slightly, and she pondered for a while before she spoke: "My lord, she stole my things in exchange for silver money, and she has already lost a lot of money in and out, so I have to let her return it." ”

"What do you want?" The official frowned.

"Let her be a coolie in my house, and I will let her go when I pay it off!" Huang Xiaocui finally said her true purpose.

When the official heard this, he immediately made a difficulty, "This, how can this work?" She's a prisoner to be exiled......"

When Huang Xiaocui heard this, her eyebrows were raised, and she was about to argue with the official with her hands on her waist, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by Song Qingyou.

"My lord, you can't listen to her, I didn't steal her things at all, I was in the city, I just went to the county office to beg for food, and I didn't go to any jewelry store at all."

Song Qingyou said, and opened the baggage, revealing a few thin-noodle steamed buns inside.

In these years, only large families and officials can afford to eat fine flour steamed buns, and ordinary people can't eat them a few times a year, let alone give them to charity.

The official rubbed his chin, apparently hesitating.

"You talk nonsense! I've got a witness here! Huang Xiaocui glared at Song Qingyou fiercely, and raised his hand to pull the Erhezi in front of him.

Erhezi was black and thin, and he was pulled by Huang Xiaocui, but he didn't dare to say more, just shrunk and nodded.

He didn't even look up at Song Qingyou from beginning to end, so he insisted that Song Qingyou had gone to the shop to sell jewelry.

"Since you said that the shopkeeper of the jewelry store is also a witness, please ask him to identify it, and let him tell him what is going on." Song Qingyou knew that he was very afraid of Huang Xiaocui when she looked at Erhezi's cowardice, she looked at the two silver hairpins and had a plan.

"My lord, everyone in the Xiao family lived in the Huang family yesterday, and even so, the Xiao family is suspicious. It's better to let the ladies of the Xiao family come out and let the shopkeeper recognize it. ”

Hearing Song Qingyou say this, the official was a little hesitant.

Xiao Qishu coldly looked at the official, "Do you have any doubts?" ”

The official was stared at by Na Sen's cold gaze, and his back was cold.

How could he forget that there is still Xiao Qishu, the big Buddha!

Song Qingyou is Xiao Qishu's wife, if she is really wronged, if Xiao Qishu makes a comeback in the future, he will never be spared.

"Okay, just do as you say." The official insisted that the person who knew the times was Junjie, and quickly agreed to Song Qingyou's proposal.

"Let my husband personally invite the shopkeeper." Just as the official turned around and wanted to leave, Song Qingyou said again.

The official said yes directly.

Xiao Qishu glanced at Song Qingyou and left without saying a word.

I don't know when the two of them became so tacit.

Huang Xiaocui didn't know what medicine Song Qingyou's gourd was selling, but thinking that she had already been angry with the shopkeeper, she no longer worried.

When the other officials called out all the daughters of the Xiao family, Huang Xiaocui cursed Song Qingyou in a vicious low voice: "Little prostitute, you wait for me." ”

Song Qingyou pursed his lips disdainfully.

Xiao Ningning stood beside Song Qingyou, and when she heard that she had stolen something and wanted to be identified, the corners of Xiao Ningning's mouth almost reached the root of her ears.

"You should be tied up and beaten to death." Xiao Ningning approached Song Qingyou, and her tone was full of malice.

Song Qingyou only thinks that there is a dog farting in his ear.

Soon, the shopkeeper was brought back by Xiao Qishu.

"Shut up and let him identify himself." Before Huang Xiaocui spoke, Xiao Qishu warned her coldly as if she had not known a prophet.

Huang Xiaocui was so frightened that her face turned white in an instant.

The finches in the courtyard were silent, just waiting for the shopkeeper's identification.

The shopkeeper subconsciously looked at Huang Xiaocui.

But Huang Xiaocui didn't dare to make a sound, she just glanced at Song Qingyou hard.

The shopkeeper's gaze wandered, and finally under the scolding of the official, he had to grit his teeth and point in the direction of Song Qingyou, "It's her!" It's the jewelry she sells in my store! ”

"You fart!" A shrill and piercing curse rang out.
