Chapter 78

Li Lian heard that Yun Xiaoqian stole Xu Qing's recipe this morning. It's all in the village. She thinks Xu Qing said it herself, and she's very glad.

Even Xu Qing thinks it's Yun Xiaoqian who stole the recipe. No one would suspect her at all.

However, before Li Lian was happy, Xu Qing and Li Changting suddenly came to the door with the person who bought her recipe!

"That's her. I bought the recipe from her!" The stout man pointed to Li Lian.

In fact, this man is a steward of the Xiao family, because he has not been reused. After Xiao Qunshan took control of the Xiao family, he resolutely took refuge in Xiao Qunshan.

Before that, he had been trying to find out who the "Jiangnan Xu style" was.

There are no impermeable walls in the world. He was lucky to find out that "Jiangnan Xushi" might be in Changxi village, so he sent people to stay and inquire.

Li Lian didn't know the value of the recipe at first. She didn't know that Xu Qing was making moon cakes. She would steal the recipe that day, just to find some trouble for Xu Qing.

There were some things in the recipe that she didn't understand and was not interested in. She wanted to tear them off, but she happened to meet someone who asked her about "Jiangnan Xu style" and "moon cake filled with bean paste". She took out the recipe. Unexpectedly, after seeing the recipe, the man was overjoyed and asked her to sell it to her.

Now being identified by this man, Li Lian's face turns white, and the patriarch doesn't know where to go. However, several villagers who come to watch the excitement stare at Li Lian, and they are very surprised.

Uncle Li, Aunt Li and Li Jing go to work in the fields every day. If there are any gossip in the village, you can go out and come back.

They originally felt sorry for Xu Qing. They thought that Yun Xiaoqian was really not a good thing. But what's the situation now? Why does this man say that Li Lian sold him the formula?!

"You're bullshit Li Lian naturally refused to admit, "do you have any evidence? Why do you say I sold it?"

"I bought it from you for 20 liang of silver. You still have the silver." Said the fat man.

Hearing twenty taels of silver, everyone took a cold breath, and their eyes turned on Li Lian, fat man and Xu Qing.

Li Lian's face turned red. She didn't know whether she was angry or guilty. She glared at the fat man and said, "I don't have any silver. Don't talk nonsense!"

"The girl who was with you at that time, she saw you sell me the formula with her own eyes, and you called her ah Ling. Who is the girl named ah Ling in your village?" Asked the fat man.

"It's Li Ling." Everyone said that Li Ling and Li Lian have always had a good time. They are best friends. The name of a Ling in the village is Li Ling.

So Li Ling is a witness.

"What about Li Ling? Go and call Li Ling! "

In fact, Li Ling hid behind the crowd. When she heard people calling her, she didn't hide either. She was dragged to the front of the crowd by her father.

"Li Ling, do you really see what formula Li Lian sold to this man?" Li Er Shu asked his daughter seriously.

Li Ling looked at Li Lian and saw that Li Lian was looking at her pleadingly. She thought of something and quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."

"You lie!" The fat man was angry, and then looked at Xiao Zhiyin at a loss, "Miss, everything I said is true, absolutely not false. It's like this. I don't have to cheat you, do I?"

The clan leader has just been told the whole story by Uncle Li. At this moment, he asked Xu Qing suspiciously, "Xu Qing, are you sure it was lian'er who stole it?"

At this time, Li Qinshu and Yun Xiaoqian also came.

Aunt Li then said, "didn't you say that Yun Xiaoqian stole it?"

Xu Qingmei frowned: "aunt, if there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. It's true that Li Lian stole the recipe, which has nothing to do with Yun Xiaoqian. But as for why everyone is falsely saying that Yun Xiaoqian stole my recipe, I have to ask Li Lingqian. "

"What do you mean?" Li Ling said

Xu Qing ignored her, but said, "no one knew about my moon cake, but today all of a sudden everyone knew. Who spread the rumors? Ask the people around you. Where do you hear the rumors? I think it should be very easy to find the person who spread the rumors at the beginning as long as we check them one by one. "

Li Ling's face turned white and her eyes flashed.

Xu Qing looked at Li Lian and said, "Li Lian, did you sneak into my house and steal a recipe from me on the day of the Mid Autumn Festival?"

"I didn't! Don't frame me up here Li Lian said in a loud voice.

"It seems that she doesn't want to admit it. It doesn't matter. I can take her back to the Yamen and interrogate her slowly." Qin Zheng suddenly came out from behind Xiao Zhiyin. He was wearing casual clothes today, so at the beginning, people didn't pay much attention to him.

"Constable Qin!" The patriarch was slightly flustered and stood up and said, "speak slowly if you have something to say."

"Twenty taels of silver is quite a lot. If I search her house, will the patriarch mind? If I do find 20 liang of silver, I'll be sorry. Don't blame me for not talking about the past. After all, we have to use some fierce means to those who refuse to confess Qin Zheng cold tunnel.Li Lian is flustered. She can still play tricks on Xu Qing, but she doesn't dare to disobey Qin Zheng.

"Grandfather, Dad, help me! I really didn't steal the recipe! " Li Lian is still dying. At this time, she hopes that her father-in-law and father can help her smooth out her mistakes and solve the trouble as usual.

"Constable Qin..." The patriarch looked at him at a loss.

"Patriarch Li, if you want to cover up criminals, you can only be punished with the same crime." Qin Zhengdao.

With that, Qin Zheng looked at Li Lian and said, "Li Lian, don't you confess? Are you not afraid that I will arrest your family and put them in jail for "careful" interrogation? "

If you interrogate carefully, I'm afraid you will be punished.

But Li Lian only shook her head: "I didn't I really didn't... "

Xu Qing sighed: "Li Lian, you really let me down. You are not as good as an animal for the clan leader and Uncle Li to love you so much!"

Li Lian's face was pale and her lips were trembling. Everyone could see through her guilty expression, and only she was lucky.

Xu Qing has been waiting for Li Lian to admit her mistake, and Qin Zheng is also giving her a chance. As long as she admits her guilt, at least her family will not be involved. However, Li Lian has only herself in her heart, and she doesn't care about other people's lives.

When Aunt Li heard that "the same crime should be punished", she felt a thump in her heart. Suddenly she was angry. She rushed to Li Lian, slapped her and scolded.

"How could I have a daughter like you! Steal other people's things do not admit, but also want to put the whole family into compensation, with you suffer together can't it?! Do you want to kill us all to make you happy? "
