Chapter 79

Seeing the hatred in her mother's eyes, Li Lian was completely flustered. She quickly admitted her mistake and said, "I'm wrong. I don't dare any more! Mother, grandfather, help me, please

The patriarch looked very embarrassed. He asked Qin Zheng in a low voice, "Constable Qin, how will lian'er be punished for this crime?"

Constable Qin took a look at Xu Qing: "to tell you the truth, Li clan chief, your granddaughter is not an ordinary crime of theft. The value of Xu Qing's formula is far more than 20 Liang silver. But now, because Li Lian steals and sells the formula, she divulges it, causing great losses to zuixianlou and Xu Qing. You can't afford to be punished just by zuixianlou. If it's to be severely punished, I can't help it. "

Li Lian sat down on the ground and asked incredulously, "how can It's just a recipe for moon cakes... "

"It's an exclusive secret recipe. This one flavor recipe alone can help people guess more recipes. It's not as simple as the surface."

Then Qin Zheng looked at the patriarch and said, "otherwise, why do you think the head of the Xiao family still has to come to your small village for a trip?"

This time, the Xiao family is in turmoil and their reputation is damaged. Fortunately, Xiao Zhiyin has saved the situation in time. Otherwise, when zuixianlou finds out the truth and Yu poming's thunder tactics, the Xiao family will be overwhelmed.

Xiao Qunshan, a fool, only cares about his immediate interests. He doesn't realize what kind of people he's provoking.

The patriarch didn't expect the matter to be so serious. To be honest, everyone didn't expect it to be so serious. After all, it was just a recipe.

But when they realize how much reputation and money zuixianlou will lose because of this recipe, they dare not say a word.

Even Qin Zheng knows that even Xu Qing is responsible for this matter. Manager Yun of zuixianlou looks kind, but the owner of zuixianlou is not.

Those who are powerful and powerful will have to run and break their legs if they just say a word. Can these little people please.

Aunt Li is not stupid. When she realized the seriousness of the situation, she said to Qin Zheng: "Constable Qin, Li Lian made such a mistake because of her bad intentions and dirty hands! Although we are used to her on weekdays, this time, we won't and can't protect her. We can punish her as she should! Just implore Constable Qin not to implicate my family! "

Li Lian looked at Aunt Li with a pale face: "mother You... "

Aunt Li didn't look at her at all. Instead, she looked at Xu Qing and begged humbly: "Xu Qing, I know I have no face to say sorry to you, but please see that the patriarch has taken care of you before. Don't blame the patriarch, Li Shu and Li Jing. They all don't know!"

Xu Qing said: "it's Li Lian who stole the formula and sold it. It's not you. It's the truth that children all know. I'm not so heartless."

"Thank you! Thank you Aunt Li gratefully said thanks again and again. She was afraid that Xu Qing would not be happy and make their family suffer. Just like before, Li Lian only bumped into a person in the town, and that person threatened to make their family have a hard time.

Aunt Li was most afraid of this, so Xu Qing said that she would only punish Li Lian. She was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

The clan leader and Uncle Li wanted to beg for mercy, because Aunt Li's words are now swallowed back.

Aunt Li also turned back and glared at them with warning. The patriarch knew that Aunt Li would be like this, or because he said last time that Li Lian had hurt Li Jing so much that even the patriarch could not do it, leaving Aunt Li a psychological shadow.

This time, Li Lian almost implicated Li Jing. Where Aunt Li was willing, she hated Li Lian to death.

How innocent her son is. Without the position of patriarch, she will live in the direction of others in the future. Aunt Li just thought that her heart was aching and she wanted to strangle Li Lian!

"Somebody, take Li Lian away."

Qin Zheng said that, immediately two officers in plain clothes came out with shackles and took Li Lian away.

"Dad! Ah Gong! Help me Li Lian was so scared that she struggled. As soon as the official drew the sword, she did not dare to say anything.

"Changting..." The patriarch looked at Li Changting imploringly, and he wanted to say nothing.

"Uncle, what do you want to say?" Li Changting asked.

The patriarch opened his mouth and finally sighed.

On the day of Mid Autumn Festival, they went to Changting's house with a good mood to make amends and repair the relationship between the two families.

Changting and Xu Qing still keep them for dinner. The table is so rich that Changting and Xu Qing don't show any reluctance. It can be seen that they really treat them as relatives, and even Li Lian accepts them, regardless of their previous mistakes.

Now that Li Lian has made such a mistake, the patriarch is really sorry. He can't ask them to forgive Li Lian at all. If he really asks Changting and Xu Qing to forgive Li Lian, there will be no possibility for them to make up again!

The first time can be forgiven, the second time can also be forgiven, why should we forgive the third time? Why do Changting and Xu Qing have to forgive Li Lian no matter what she does wrong?

With Changting's character, I'm afraid I will cut off the relationship with them directly!The patriarch can't help thinking of Li Jing. Jing'er had always wanted to go to Changting to learn martial arts, but because of Li Lian's relationship with the two families, she didn't dare to go.

He thought that maybe he really connived at Li Lian too much. No matter what mistakes she made, it was he who shamed his old face to smooth her out, so that now, the good reputation of the Li family for so many years has almost been ruined.

It's his fault, too.

Thinking of this, the patriarch looked firmly at Li Changting and said, "Changting, we can deal with this matter as we should. It doesn't need to depend on our feelings for the sake of our relatives! Even if she is not captured today, I will not spare her! My Li family has been loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous for generations. When did I raise thieves and not punish them severely? How could I have the face to meet the Li family's ancestors

The patriarch's voice was loud and powerful. The clan rules and instructions that he almost forgot were burning his heart like a brand at this moment.

Qin Zheng saluted the clan leader solemnly: "the Li clan leader clearly distinguishes right from wrong. Qin always respects him."

The patriarch said so, and everyone nodded in agreement.

At this time, Qin Zheng looked at Li Ling on the other side and said, "Li Ling, if you cover up Li Lian and don't repay her, you can be guilty!"

Li Ling's body trembled, and Li Er Shu next to her slapped her angrily: "Constable Qin asked you, if you dare to lie, I will kill you today, believe it or not!"

As soon as Li Ling's legs softened, she knelt on the ground and suddenly covered her face and began to cry: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to I'm sorry... "

Seeing her like this, Li Er Shu's face turned red with anger. He was looking for a guy, obviously trying to beat Li Ling.
