Huang Xiaocui's cheeks were patted painfully, but she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction. When she looked down at the book of accounts that was too familiar to be familiar, her face turned red and white.

How did this account book get into the hands of the county magistrate?

Huang Xiaocui was so frightened that she was thinking about continuing to pretend to be stupid, so she clapped her hands when she heard the county order, "Bring everyone in." ”

The official answered, and went out to call in the people who were waiting outside.

As those people walked in one after another, Huang Xiaocui's eyes became more and more flustered.

About fourteen or fifteen people, all of them are women, and they don't seem to be very old.

Song Qingyou glanced at the girls a few times, and estimated that the oldest was no more than fifteen, and the least looked about ten years old.

All of these girls were silent, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads when they stood there.

A few even have wounds on their faces.

"Do you know them?" The county magistrate glared at Huang Xiaocui and asked sharply.

"I ......" Huang Xiaocui's eyes dodged, thinking frantically about how to quibble.

She tried to recall the scene when she sold the girls, and made sure that she didn't show up, and that the money she had gotten had been stolen, and there was no proof of her death.

As for the account book, her name is not written on it, as long as she doesn't recognize it, the county order can't say that she wrote it!

Thinking like this, Huang Xiaocui's heart gradually dissipated, and doubts appeared on her face.

"My lord, the women don't know these women, and they haven't committed any crimes!"

If it weren't for the county order who had already seen Xiao Qishu and Song Qingyou, I am afraid that he would really believe Huang Xiaocui's nonsense at this time.

"No crime? You bullied the poor people, coaxed them to sign loans with high interest rates, and took people to the people's homes to rob their children and daughters before they could pay the money, and these women were sold into the Qinglou by you! So far, do you still have to quibble? The county commander's expression became more and more severe.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Huang Xiaocui became arrogant, "My lord, the women are innocent, they have never done the things you said, I have never seen these women, even if you are a parent official, you can't frame the women with this ownerless account book alone!" ”

"You ......" the county order was so angry that Huang Xiaocui's neck was red because he didn't admit it.

Song Qingyou blinked, as if he had guessed what Huang Xiaocui was doing.

She quietly retreated to the back of the crowd, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she hurried to the storeroom and put back the silver and jewels that had been taken from here.

As for food, vegetables and fruits, Song Qingyou directly deducted it.

When she returned to the front yard, she heard Huang Xiaocui yelling.

"Your Excellency insists that it is the women of the people who sold these women, so dare to ask your lordship, the money for selling them is definitely not a small amount, right? If you don't believe the women, have my house searched to see if you have any money." ”

Huang Xiaocui calculated that the silver money was stolen, and the county ordered that not a single copper plate could be found.

But she didn't expect that Song Qingyou would have space in her hands, don't say that she hid the little silver, even if it was a treasure in the treasury, Song Qingyou could move it wherever she wanted.

The county commander waved his hand and ordered the officials to search the house!

Huang Xiaocui had already stood up at this time, looking at the county order with a straight face.

She even thought of the scene where the county order compensated her after the officials couldn't find it.

"My lord! A few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were found in the warehouse! Just when Huang Xiaocui was proud, a servant ran over from the backyard quickly.

"What?!" Huang Xiaocui was the first to be shocked.

She had obviously rummaged through the courtyard, and the treasury was even more upside down, and after repeatedly confirming that the property had been stolen, she dared to go to Song Qingyou angrily.

But what does the official say now?

Silver jewelry in the treasury?

Huang Xiaocui almost doubted her life, she pushed away the official who was blocking in front of her, and stumbled towards the warehouse.

The county commander and others also quickly followed.

Huang Xiaocui ran to the door of the warehouse, and when she saw the boxes of belongings, she was stupid.

"How so? How could there be a ...... again" She sat on the threshold, not knowing what to do.

"The human and material evidence is there, Huang Xiaocui, you still don't admit guilt!" The county commander scolded.

Huang Xiaocui didn't seem to hear it, looked at a few boxes of belongings, and muttered something vaguely in her mouth.

"Arrest her first!" The county commander waved his hand, and the two officials immediately stepped forward, one of them grabbed Huang Xiaocui's arm.

Huang Xiaocui suddenly came back to her senses, and shouted unjustly, "My lord! Grace to you! The women of the people have been wronged! This money was put in by someone else to frame the women! It's ......"

As she spoke, her eyes met Song Qingyou's cold eyes through her messy hair, and she immediately went crazy, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and desperately rushed in the direction of Song Qingyou.

"My lord! It's Song Qingyou, this slut, who framed me! She's the one who wants to hurt me! My lord, you can check it out! ”

After speaking, seeing that the county order was unmoved, Huang Xiaocui hurriedly asked for help.

Thinking that Tang Yulian said that the Xiao family would return to prosperity in the future, Huang Xiaocui grabbed Tang Yulian's sleeve in a panic, "Sister Tang, Sister Tang, save me!" I'm here for ......."

She wanted to say that she wanted to help Tang Yulian get angry before she targeted Song Qingyou, but before she finished speaking, she was thrown away by Tang Yulian.

"It's just a former servant girl of the Xiao family, and she deserves to be called my sister? What do you think you mean by something? ”

Tang Yulian was afraid that Huang Xiaocui would drag her into the water if she said too much, so she hurriedly rushed to the county order: "My lord, you quickly lock up this slut, she is crazy, and she wants to climb when she sees anyone." ”

The county order was silent, and his eyes were silent and he looked at Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu without a trace.

Huang Xiaocui heard Tang Yulian fall into the well like this, and immediately became angry, "Tang Yulian! You're a slut! You prostitute! Obviously, you said that you couldn't get used to Song Qingyou, so let me help you hurt her, but now that I have an accident, you want to clear up the relationship, you are dreaming! ”

At this moment, Huang Xiaocui's hatred was directly transferred to Tang Yulian, her eyes were red, and she pounced on Tang Yulian like crazy, as if she was going to tear the other party alive.

Tang Yulian's face turned pale, relying on Huang Xiaocui being grabbed by two officials, and he stepped forward and slapped Huang Xiaocui fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about?" See if I don't break your mouth! ”

As she spoke, she slapped Huang Xiaocui in the face several times one after another.

Huang Xiaocui's cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she still cursed Tang Yulian inarticulately.

No matter how Tang Yulian covered it up, everyone heard Huang Xiaocui's words clearly, thinking back to Huang Xiaocui's appearance of being too close to Tang Yulian yesterday, everyone's eyes were full of suspicion when they looked at Tang Yulian.

"Since she said that she conspired with you, you also went to the county office with the official to interrogate together." The county magistrate has been an official for so many years, so he naturally saw that Tang Yulian was eager to cover up, so he immediately didn't grind, and the two of them were arrested together.

Not only the two of them, but several men who had just followed Huang Xiaocui to besiege Song Qingyou were also escorted back together.

Everyone in the Xiao family saw that Tang Yulian was about to be escorted away by the officials, and their faces were a little ugly.

Among them, Xiao Yiran is the worst.

He couldn't pull his face and pleaded directly with the county order, so he looked at Song Qingyou: "Song Qingyou, how can you watch my mother being arrested?" Hurry up and plead with the county magistrate and beg him to let my mother go. ”
