Everything was different from what I expected, and Li Qiuju was very uncomfortable. At this moment, shouldn't Li Haitang be crying? Even if she escapes marriage, even if she is still a virgin, her reputation will be completely lost. With the stingy temperament of Qin Yuanwai, who must report every flaw, she must be tortured severely.
It's fine to cry now, but Li Haitang won't be able to cry when he leaves the yamen!
"Haitang, what will you do in the future!"
Li Qiuju took out a small handkerchief, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I heard that members of the Qin family like to beat maids the most. Over the years, the Qin family has brought out how many straw mats from the back door. The government can't control it!"
"Cousin, why are you so sure that your grandma sold me?"
Li Haitang raised her head, her tear-washed eyes were exceptionally bright, she said bluntly, "Did you already know?"
"I... How could I know!"
Li Qiuju was flustered, her eyes drifted, and she explained, "It's better for us sisters. If I knew about it, I would definitely inform you. Grandma knew this, so she let me go to my grandmother's house for a few days."
Li Qiuju's ability to shirk responsibility is first-class, the instigator, full of bad things, still pretending to be innocent, said, "Haitang, don't worry, I won't ignore you in the future."
There is a pharmacy in the town, the medicine powder that sells immediate results, the skin is opened and the flesh is bruised, and the bleeding can be stopped by sprinkling some medicine powder, and the wound will heal in a few days. Li Qiuju specifically mentions this to add trouble to Li Haitang. They are good sisters and relatives, and she will definitely not stand by in the future , at least ask someone to send in the medicinal materials.
Li Haitang sneered, before he understood the deed of selling his life, he was sure that he would suffer in the future, isn't it too early to say!
About two quarters of an hour later, the official came back, this time holding a Geng post in his hand, on which was written the birth date of the original owner of the body, the birthday was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, and she had just passed the age of Ji.
"My lord, Qin Yuanwai woke up once in the middle."
The officer faltered, glanced at Li Haitang, his face was full of sympathy, such a beautiful little lady, exiled to the Northwest, she would die without waiting for the Great Northwest.
The Northland and the Northwest are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, and the **** on the road needs to be relieved. There are beauties, who is willing to spend money to go to brothels? They all understand the tricks.
"Oh? What did he say?"
Fan Zhixian took the hot tea handed over by the master, and took a sip, "The Qin family has been stolen, and I have sent people to investigate. Qin members don't have to worry about getting angry."
"Qin Yuanwai said, according to the crime of fugitive slave, I ask the adults to give a heavy sentence!"
After the officer had finished speaking, he sighed, since everyone in the Qin family was there, he really couldn't keep the news and not report it.
Li Qiuju's eyes lit up, and she and her mother Liu looked at each other, if it wasn't for the court, she wouldn't bother to pretend, she would definitely be three feet tall.
"sister…"
Li Jinhu sees the expressions of the Li family. All he knows is that Li Haitang is her own sister. If she is not from the Li family, that would be great. Who wants to be like a poisonous snake, thinking about harming herself all day long? loved ones!
"Don't be afraid."
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Lingchuan was very calm. Li Haitang's fear had long since disappeared. She patted the younger brother's arm to signal him not to panic.
"Master, did the contract of selling one's life be sent to the government office in the morning?"
Fan Zhixian took a look at the deed of sale, full of doubts. The Li family clearly looked down on Li Haitang, so they sold her for money, but why was Li Qiuju's name on the deed of sale?
"Yes, my lord."
Seeing Fan Zhixian's doubts, the master took a look at the deed of sale, and immediately changed his face. Not only the name on it, but even the date of birth did not belong to Li Haitang.
"Grandma Li, you said you sold your granddaughter Li Haitang. You should be illiterate. Who wrote the deed of sale for you?"
Fan Zhixian put it away carefully, knocked on the hall wood, with a serious expression, which made Mrs. Li tremble.
"Yes...he is a scholar invited by the town."
Mrs. Li couldn't figure out the situation, but she also saw the abnormality, and asked tremblingly, "My lord, is there anything wrong with the deed?"
If there is a problem, the Qin family is not stupid and won't pay so much money.
"The ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival, is there anyone born on this day in your family?"
Fan Zhixian frowned and asked again.
"In terms of my lord, the little girl Qiu Ju was born on the ninth day of September."
Liu touched the sweat on her face, feeling something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.
When it came to the ninth day of September, Li Haitang was completely relieved. She tapped her neck with her hand, then secretly stretched out her hand from her cuff, and gave Xiao Lingchuan a victory gesture.
Xiao Lingchuan nodded, his eyes were deep, and he sighed in his heart for her wit. He thought of going to the Qin's house to steal Geng's post afterwards, but he didn't expect that she directly brought it up in the court, which also made the marriage between the two of them justifiable.
"Li Qiuju, come here, here is the inkpad, press your fingerprint on it."
To be cautious, Fan Zhixian found a blank piece of paper and beckoned Li Qiuju to come forward.
"My lord, why is this?"
Li Qiuju's heart was pounding, why the situation in front of her was exactly the same as she thought!
Ever since Fanzhi County saw the deed of sale, she no longer paid attention to Li Haitang. Thinking of that terrible possibility, her eyes darkened, her body swayed, and she almost passed out.
Obviously it's an oolong! Fan Zhixian got impatient and greeted his subordinates. The officer stepped forward, forcibly grabbed Li Qiuju's hand, and pressed his fingerprints.
"My lord, this deed of sale is written on Li Qiuju's date of birth, and his handprints can match all of them, exactly."
The master carefully compared the lines of the handprints with the oil lamp, and finally came to a conclusion.
"How is this possible?"
Liu exclaimed, she went up to her knees and climbed two steps, crying, "Master Qingtian, did you misread, we personally grabbed Li Haitang's handprint, what does this have to do with Qiu Ju?"
"Misunderstood? Are you saying that the official is illiterate?"
Being questioned by an illiterate village woman, the magistrate of Fan County was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, and asked the officials to take the deed of prostitution and go to the door to find literate people to recognize him.
"I can't read much, but it says Li Qiu or something."
At the door, the common people pricked up their ears and listened attentively. When the official sent out the deed of prostitution, those who could read squeezed forward to read.
"On the ninth day of September, this is correct!"
"It's Li Qiuju, born on the ninth day of September in Geng Yin's year."
One of them is the shopkeeper of the bookstore. He was admitted as a scholar in his early years, but he failed to pass the exam for more than 20 years. He was disheartened. He was in a small bookstore in the county. Many people asked him to name him and write letters. , the shopkeeper said it was Li Qiuju's deed of sale, so there was nothing wrong with that.
"Impossible, how is it possible, how could it be Qiu Ju!"
Mrs. Li didn't believe it either. It was Li Haitang who wrote it, and the scholar she was looking for didn't know Li Qiuju, let alone her birth date!
Could it be that the deed of prostitution was changed?
"Grandma, I knew that you wouldn't sell me!"
Li Haitang squinted his eyes, intending to let Mrs. Li take the blame, "You said that the family lacked money, I begged hard, didn't you promise not to sell my cousin?"
"Fart!" Facing the gazes of Mrs. Liu and Li Qiuju, Mrs. Li was stunned again. She had been blackmailed by Li Haitang, and she couldn't argue with it.
