Chapter 31

Li Jinmei's eyes widened: "it's not against the law. Why use punishment?"

Xu Qing looked dignified: "the Cao family has always had a hard time for themselves and for others. If they deliberately pull their brother-in-law into the water Don't forget, why did Mrs. Cao go to prison? It's not because of our two acres of land. Dare you say that the Cao family didn't resent that their brother-in-law helped their daughter-in-law instead of their mother's family? "

"This..." Li Jinmei turned pale.

"But I don't have to worry too much about my sister. Even if the captor has to take my brother-in-law, I have a way..."

"What can I do?"

Three officers with shackles went to Changxi village to arrest people, which scared everyone very much. They quickly and carefully asked who broke the law.

After learning that it was the Cao family, the villagers' faces changed from cautious to overjoyed, and they enthusiastically led the officials.

As soon as he entered the Cao family, the chief constable yelled, "which is the elder Cao or the second Cao?"

Cao, who opened the door, was stunned: "big My Lord, the grass people... "

"Handcuffed!" At the command of the constable, the two captors went over and handcuffed boss Cao.

The news surprised the Cao family.

The constable coldly glanced at all the people in the Cao family: "who is your great grandfather, and Cao Lao ER and Cao Lao Liu, they are all handcuffed and taken away!"

"My Lord, you are wronged!"

"My Lord! What crime did the grassroots commit? You want to take us away? " Uncle Cao was shocked.

The constable sneered: "if you have committed any crime, go to court and say it."

"Come on, let's go!" The two captors showed their swords, and the Cao family immediately dared not speak.

"Everyone, please wait!" The patriarch's voice rang out behind the crowd, and they all let him go.

"Chief Li." The constable looked at the man and said hello.

"Constable Qin, please let me say a few words. You can rest assured that it won't delay you too much time." The patriarch came in a hurry. He didn't have time to breathe.

"Mr. Li, you are welcome. Please go ahead." Qin Zheng has a friendly attitude, because the patriarch of Changxi village has some prestige in all the townships.

The patriarch said with a smile: "I already know the reason why Constable Qin came here. Cao Laowu sued the Cao family by beating drums. My nephew and granddaughter-in-law just saw him and came back to tell me what happened. The Cao family took advantage of Mrs. Cao's imprisonment and secretly swallowed 225 liang of silver. If Constable Qin needs anything, I will help him. But there is a man I want to say, Cao Laoliu, who absolutely did not embezzle Cao's property! "

As soon as the patriarch's words came out, the onlookers were in an uproar, one by one staring incredulously.

What they can't believe is not that Cao's family shares up Mrs. Cao's money, but that Mrs. Cao has 225 taels of silver!

Where on earth did Cao Pozi get so much silver?!

Constable Qin looked behind him: "which is Cao Laoliu?"

Cao Laoliu quickly stepped forward: "my Lord, it's me."

Constable Qin: "you didn't embezzle your mother's money. Why?"

Cao Laoliu looks at Li Jinmei behind the patriarch. Under Li Jinmei's worried eyes, he wipes the cold sweat on his forehead and smoothes his way: "Mr. Hui Zhuo, the grasshopper's original name is Cao Hai. He is an orphan. He was adopted by Cao's eldest brother when he was six years old. He grew up in Cao's family. When he was 17 years old, he joined my wife's family. Since then, he has little contact with Cao's family."

"My Lord, I didn't know that the Cao family had swallowed Mrs. Cao's money, and I didn't steal anything from her. I came to the Cao family today because Mr. Cao asked me to make a new cabinet for his family. I'm a carpenter. I usually make money by doing some carpentry work for the villagers."

Constable Qin stares at Cao Laoliu. He doesn't speak. He seems to be thinking.

The patriarch said: "Cao Laoliu is an outsider to the Cao family. How can this kind of" good thing "be called him. To tell you the truth, the daughter-in-law he married is my niece and granddaughter. The couple are dutiful, but they are often bullied by the Cao family.... "

Uncle Cao over there suddenly called out: "who said that, we have called Mr. Cao Liuming!"

"What?" The crowd was shocked.

Cao also said: "Cao Laoliu, don't lie with your eyes open! What did we say when we paid for money? You want to clean yourself now, there is no door! "

Cao Lao Er Mou son a turn, also call to mumble: "right, cent of time not all say good our four sons, a person a!"

Cao Laoliu stares at Cao Laoer and Cao Laoer in amazement. His anger rushes from the bottom of his feet to his head. He is so angry that he points to their hands and shakes slightly: "you're talking nonsense!"

Li Jinmei's heart thumped. Ah Qing was right. The Cao family really These bastards!

At this moment, uncle Cao calmly stood up: "we admit that we did take Mrs. Cao's money, but what happened to our family's money? How can this be regarded as our theft? Is it a steal for your son to take money from my mother? "

Mr. Cao hehe: "even if we steal Mrs. Cao's money, it's just that our son has stolen his mother's money. It's our own family's business. If Mrs. Cao can't be angry and beat her son, there's no need to make such a small matter in front of the county magistrate?"Constable Qin On hearing more than 200 taels of silver, the master of the county was dazed. He didn't care whether it was family business or not.

Mr. Cao: "the captor just said that Mr. Cao sued us. Let me tell you, Mr. Cao also shared a lot of money. He took the money to spend his money on wine and wine, and spent it in a few days. He came back to ask us for it and threatened us to sue us if we didn't give it. Why didn't you catch Mr. Cao?"

"Mr. Cao is really eloquent." Xu Qing sneered, "these two hundred and twenty-five taels of silver are not two hundred and twenty Wen. Can you just take them casually and take them with you? What's more, the money is Mrs. Cao's life-saving money. You deliberately don't send money to Mrs. Cao. You just want her to stay in prison for a few more years. After three years in prison, I don't know if there is any life to come back alive. If it's not stupid, you can see what kind of evil thoughts you have? "

Uncle Cao squinted at Xu Qing coldly: "it's you again!"

Qin Zheng also looked at Xu Qing: "who are you?"

Xu Qing: "Cao Laoliu is my brother-in-law. Mrs. Cao wants to occupy my family's land. My brother-in-law has always stood by my side to support my family, because my brother-in-law is facing his daughter-in-law's relatives, but not the Cao family. The Cao family just framed my brother-in-law for embezzling Mrs. Cao's money."

Xu Qing smiles at Mr. Cao: "Oh, it's nothing to steal money from his mother, but he fabricates facts to sue the government, intending to make the accused bear the responsibility and make the accuser guilty! That is to say, you will punish Cao Laoliu with whatever charges you charge. Mr. Cao, you have to think clearly before you speak
