Liu Qing, who was waiting at home for someone to report the progress of the matter, finally waited for the third bad news in the evening of this day, the family did not come back, and the people from the government came, not as polite as they used to get along, and they escorted him away without saying a word.In the county government prison, Liu Qing saw his housekeeper and his party, and the housekeeper explained what happened with a sad face, the person from Chang'an was an existence that he couldn't provoke, Liu Qing stood on the spot, he couldn't figure out how his little-known son-in-law would have something to do with Du Shaoqing, the most popular person in the Tang Dynasty.After thinking about it, Liu Qing knew that he couldn't sit still, and wanted to ask the jailer to help him ask to see the county order, but the jailer said that everyone in the Liu family had reversed black and white to frame Wang Zhutou and Xue County Order, and the county order was angry, so you are waiting in this prison to be judged.In the end, Liu Qing gave a huge sum of ten taels of silver to the cell leader, and asked him to bring a message to the county magistrate, and he must ask to see him.Xue Xianling was taking care of the aftermath of Wang Zhutou, and said in his heart that this guy performed well on weekdays, why did he die because of greed for money?
Is it a moment of confusion or a greed for money?
Anyway, there is a way to eliminate grievances and grievances in death, and Xue County's order did not investigate too much, called Wang Zhutou's family, explained the reason, and then sent him away, this is a personal grudge to be killed, so there is no pension or something.At first, the Wang family was unwilling, but Xue County Ling said that Wang Zhutou broke into a private house to rob someone's son, and it was really a crime to talk about it, so the Wang family didn't dare to entangle anymore, so they could only take the corpse home to mourn.As soon as he returned to the study to calm down for a while, the county magistrate heard a report from the cell boss, saying that Liu Qing asked to see him, and after thinking about it again, Xue County Commander came to the prison and saw Liu Qing.The two are also old acquaintances, and Xue Xianling said with a cold face: "Okay, you Liu Qing, do you want to pull Wang Zhutou to do evil?"
How about now, if you lose the life of the king, you have to deceive the official to wipe your ass, in vain you are still a big local squire, and you will be left alone to do all the bad things. ”Liu Qing smiled bitterly: "Which one is born to be a wicked person?
If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have a son and couldn't pass on the lineage, how could I be treacherous and calculate my son-in-law?
My Liu family will not fall from a famous family to a local laughing stock. ”Xue Xianling said with some disdain: "So, this official still has to sympathize with you?"
Man's fate is destined, and it is destined that you have no heirs to blame others.The matter between you and Xue Li is a private matter of your Liu family, and I can read that I will not interfere in my past friendship, even if you kidnap your grandson, it is all your private matter.But now that there is a murder, you have to take responsibility for Wang Zhutou's death, after all, you hired him. ”Nodding, Liu Qing was aware of current affairs, and did not refute this question, but changed the topic and said: "County order, can you put it on a trip, give me two days, that Du Juma sent a message, let me go and make amends in person within two days, I dare not go." ”Well?
Xue Xianling frowned, what does this old guy mean?"
No need, you are in a murder case, and you are going to be sentenced in a lawsuit, and the master of the horse will let you go to accompany the crime, I'm afraid it is better to sentence you to make him happy, accept your fate."
The county order shook its head.Liu Qing suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Xue County Order, you and I have no grudges in the past and no hatred in the near future, you don't have to do it so desperately, is it worth it to catch the head for a king?"
You won't fail to understand what I mean. ”Looking back, Xue Xianling stared at Liu Qing's persistent eyes, his mind turned sharply, of course he understood what Liu Qing was thinking, so Xue Xianling was weighing.In all fairness, there is indeed no grudge between the two, some are just the resentment that was almost pitted by Liu Qing this time, but all this is related to the Du Juma from Chang'an, as long as it can calm the anger of the Du Juma, the rest is easy to say.Xue Xianling knows what Liu Qing means, no matter how Liu Qing is also Xue Li's father-in-law, now Xue Li has climbed the big tree of the cuckoo horse, if he really sentences Liu Qing to prison, Xue Li will come to fish for people, and it will be very troublesome over and over again.It's better to give Xue Li a favor directly, release Liu Qing, and let him go to deal with Xue Li and Du Juma.So after thinking for a moment, Xue Xianling asked, "What do you say about Wang Zhutou's life?"
”"People died for me, I went to discuss with their family for personal gain, I think a hundred taels of silver is enough, the county order can rest assured, I won't let this family gossip."
Liu Qing assured.After a moment of silence, Xue Xian Ling nodded and said, "I went to make amends to Du Juma carefully, and I will be better to your son-in-law in the future, but now it is different."
Also, in the future, in the territory of Longmen, you had better keep to yourself, don't make trouble for me again, Longmen County is not the place of your Liu family. ”After saying the county order, he turned around and strode away, and it didn't take long for the cell head to open the prison door and signal that the group of people from the Liu family could go, Liu Qing was overjoyed, and finally escaped the catastrophe, and ordered the housekeeper to send money to Wang Zhutou's family to clean up the aftermath, Liu Qing did not dare to delay, and took advantage of the fact that it was not dark, and hurried to Xue Li's house.At the door of the cave, Xue Li looked at the old man and said coldly: "Didn't the Xue County Order say that he would arrest you?"
How?
Is it colluding with you to protect each other and let you out?
You go, you're not welcome here!
”Liu Qing was embarrassed: "Son-in-law, it's the old man who can't stand you, I don't mean anything else, I'm here to apologize." ”"I can't afford it, for the sake of the silver ring, I won't do it, you leave by yourself!"
Xue Rengui looked disdainful.At this time, Mrs.
Liu walked out of the cave, looked at her father with a complicated face, hesitated, reached out and pulled her husband's sleeve, turned to her father Liu Qing and persuaded him: "Daddy, go back, as long as you don't mention the matter of snatching Shan'er in the future, when Shan'er grows up, my husband and I will take him back to Liu's house to see you." ”Liu Qing choked with tears in his eyes and said: "Good boy, don't mention it, don't mention it again, Daddy also wants to open it, no matter what the surname is, Shan'er is my Liu Qing's only grandson, how about bringing Shan'er out for me to see?"
”"It's inconvenient, Shan'er has already eaten and slept."
Liu shook his head.Liu Qing turned to Xue Rengui and asked, "I heard that the Du Horse from Chang'an is here, can you introduce the old man, I want to apologize in person." ”Xue Li sneered: "I'm afraid this is the real reason why you came overnight tonight." ”"Whatever you think, in short, I am not your father-in-law in your eyes."
Saying that, Liu Qing turned her head to look at her daughter, thinking that her daughter should not make things difficult for her at this time.Liu shook his head and said: "Daddy, Du Juma is a big man, where can Xue Jiashan live in the cave, the family is now settled in the largest Longmen Inn in the county, and they will come over during the day." ”It turned out that he missed it, and after pondering for a while, Liu Qing said: "Okay, tonight, my father will live here and wait for him." ”
