Three hundred and sixty first chapters adulterous woman filial daughter-in-law
Xiao Feng walked out of the alley and searched along the main street.
Many stalls on the main street are already closing their stalls, except those selling snacks. They are counting on business to be good when it gets dark.
Qiaoqiao does not have a fixed stall. She just carries the cloth woven by Qiao Niang and sells it on the street.
If it can be made into a piece, the cloth shop will also accept it, but the price will be low. Therefore, as long as it is not in pieces, Qiaoqiao prefers to sell it retailly to farmers or vendors who go shopping in the city, and the price is higher.
Although the difference may be only one penny for a foot of cloth, but when you add up, you can make a difference of ninety penny for a piece of cloth, which is enough to buy rice and noodles for several days.
Qiaoqiao is cute and cute, and she is also good at talking. She can usually sell cloth in half a day. The sun is almost setting today and she hasn't gone home yet, which is really strange.
Xiao Feng had almost walked half the street and still hadn't seen Qiaoqiao. He asked a Taoist priest who set up a stall to tell fortunes: "Has the Taoist priest ever seen a girl selling cloth, about ten years old, wearing blue clothes?"
The Taoist priest who told the fortune had a gray beard and was quite old. He slapped Xiao Feng in a decent manner: "I've never seen it before, but I'm a poor Taoist who can tell fortunes very accurately. Do you want to tell her whereabouts? It's cheap, ten cents! No.
It’s definitely free of charge!”
Xiao Feng turned around and left, and the old man quickly shouted: "Five cents is fine, three cents, the minimum is two cents, but not one cent. It would be embarrassing to spread the word."
Seeing that Xiao Feng ignored him, the old Taoist sighed: "That's all, I'll tell you for free. I've seen that girl before. She always sells cloth on the street and is very easy to recognize. She was arrested for stealing things.
"
Xiao Feng turned around and grabbed the old Taoist's dirty Taoist robe collar: "Nonsense, Qiaoqiao will never steal anything!"
The old man pointed out: "He was caught right at the door of the pawn shop over there and was taken away."
Xiao Feng let go of Lao Dao and rushed into the pawn shop.
As soon as Xiao Feng opened his mouth, the pawnbroker slapped his thigh: "Is that a member of your family? He was so brave that he stole into the house of Mr. Liu, a member of the household department. Fortunately, I haven't given you any money yet, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to see him.
They all have to sit on wax!”
Xiao Feng's heart sank, and he turned around and ran away.
By the time he ran to the door of Liu Tong's house, his nerdy body, which usually lacked exercise, was already covered in sweat and out of breath.
Liu Tong was coaxing Qiaoqiao in the house at this time.
"Little girl, your name is Qiaoqiao, right? Did you steal this golden hairpin from my house? As long as you admit it, I will never pursue it, otherwise you will be whipped in court."
Qiaoqiao shook her head firmly: "I didn't steal it, I picked it up on the street."
Liu Tong's chubby face stiffened, and she forced out a smile: "Dishonesty is not a good boy. Whose golden hairpin will fall on the ground and be picked up? When you get to the hall, not only will you be whipped, but you will also be slapped with a stick.
, all ten of your fingers will be broken off."
Qiaoqiao began to tremble, but she still persisted: "I picked it up on the street. Why do you say I didn't pick it up?"
Liu Tong rolled his eyes and was about to speak again when the door was kicked open.
Xiao Feng rushed in and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiaoqiao was not tied up or injured.
Liu Tong looked at Xiao Feng with a sneer, feeling a little annoyed. It would have been nice if he could scare Qiao Qiao into confessing before Xiao Feng arrived.
However, even if there was no confession, Qiaoqiao took the gold hairpin to the pawnshop to pawn it, and the pawnshop could testify, so he still had an advantage.
"Xiao Feng, your servant stole a gold hairpin from Liu Mansion and pawned it. I think she is young and has not reported it to the official. How will this matter be resolved?"
Xiao Feng looked at him blankly: "Qiaoqiao is only ten years old, and she is not a big thief. How could she steal from your house, Yuanwai Lang Liu? Are all your servants clay figures and wood carvings?"
Liu Tong ignored Xiao Feng's sarcasm: "She took the gold hairpin to the pawnshop to pawn it. The pawnshop presented it to the pawnshop and the clerk was the witness. This gold hairpin has the words "my Liu family" on the inside. How can I deny it?"
Xiao Feng looked at Qiaoqiao: "What's going on?"
Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Feng in embarrassment: "Master..."
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "You don't have to be afraid, tell the truth, no one can wrongly accuse you!"
Qiaoqiao ran over, lay next to Xiao Feng's ear, and whispered: "Master, Miss Liu's maid gave it to me when I was selling cloth on the street. She said that Miss Liu heard that you were sick and asked me to get it.
Go pawn and buy you medicine and delicious food."
Xiao Feng couldn't help but get a headache.
On the way here, he searched his memory and discovered that he was not only feeding on the food of two women, but also Miss Liu, who had arranged a baby marriage, also secretly fed him.
Thinking about it, it is unrealistic to support three people with Qiao Niang's weaving. Every now and then, Miss Liu would find a way to get some money and secretly give it to Qiao Qiao.
It's just that I was unlucky this time and was caught by my father.
When you go out to hang out, you have to admit your mistakes and stand upright when you are beaten. You can't eat other girls' soft rice and ruin other people's jobs. Xiao Feng still has this kind of ethics.
So Xiao Feng covered Qiaoqiao's mouth in a dignified manner: "Even if Qiaoqiao stole it, tell me, what do you want?"
Liu Tong's eyes lit up. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. At this moment, he wanted to sing a song to express his joy.
Since Xiao Wannian lost his official position, Liu Tong, who was still the head of the household department at the time, quickly figured out the reason and began to plan to cancel the engagement.
Xiao Wannian was the Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei at the time, and was higher than himself. If they had not always been friends with each other, this marriage would have been a high priority.
But later Xiao Wannian became a commoner and offended the Yan family. Although Lu Bing saved his life, there would definitely be no benefit to marrying such a person.
Liu Tong did not dare to talk to Xiao Wannian about breaking off the engagement. He was afraid of Xiao Wannian. Although he was an ordinary citizen, he knew that Xiao Wannian had a stubborn and stubborn character. The county magistrate who died inexplicably was the best illustration.
Xiao Wannian finally died, leaving only a young boy. Liu Tong felt that breaking off the engagement was a matter of choice.
Who knew that in the past, Xiao Feng, a nerd, always talked about his parents' orders that cannot be violated, and firmly occupied the moral high ground, leaving him with nothing to do. He couldn't dig out Lao Xiao and change his son's orders.
This was not the most irritating thing. Later, Liu Tong discovered that her daughter secretly sent money to the Xiao family, but this soft rice king was still able to eat with peace of mind.
If he hadn't cut off his daughter's monthly income and forced her to give away the marked gold hairpin, it would have been difficult to seize the evidence.
Liu Tong coughed dryly: "Your servant dares to steal from the imperial official's house. If I sue her, I'm afraid she will be beaten and imprisoned."
Xiao Feng didn't answer, just tilted his head and looked at the nominal future father-in-law.
Liu Tong was like a tease who had lost his admiration, so he had no choice but to continue: "But the kid looks pitiful, and I don't care about myself. Let's do this, show some sincerity, and the matter will be private."
Xiao Feng nodded: "How much sincerity is required?"
Liu Tong stretched out a finger: "The first option is to pay ten taels of silver."
He paused, then deliberately pretended to be casual and said: "If you don't have money, you can just pay for it with a marriage certificate."
At this time, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old hurriedly ran out from behind with her little maid. Liu Tong had a large courtyard with two entrances, which was much more impressive than the Xiao family.
The girl was Liu Xueer. She ran over and shouted to her father: "Dad, I gave that hairpin to Qiaoqiao..."
Liu Tong's face was straight: "How dare you, someone, take her back to the backyard for me!"
Several maids chased out and dragged Liu Xueer back: "Miss, please stop shouting, it's so embarrassing..."
Liu Tong turned around, looked at each other with Xiao Feng, and then said mockingly: "My little girl is talking nonsense, but I won't let her testify in court."
Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "You are looking down on me. I have no intention of letting the young lady show up. Isn't it just a marriage certificate? I'll get it for you when I go back."
Liu Tong blinked, feeling that his efforts in the past few years were a bit like punching the air with all his strength, and he almost lost his waist.
Why did this soft rice king suddenly become so tough?
When he couldn't catch any evidence before, he humiliated him for relying on his wife who had no family ties to support him, but he didn't even give a shit.
I thought there would be a fierce battle, but why was it so easy? There was no sense of accomplishment...
He didn't know that Xiao Feng had already changed the core, and he couldn't swallow this soft meal.
