After catching the Li family's theft and washing away the dirty water that was poured on Qin Xiaoxiao, Mr. Qin naturally no longer had any scruples. He ignored the Li family's pleading and asked Qin Chuan to report to the city.

Before Qin He went to Yuncheng, he invited the magistrate of Le'an County for a drink, hoping that he could take care of the Qin family.

The magistrate of Le'an County came from a poor family and had no support, so he naturally would not refuse his request. Therefore, when he heard that someone was making trouble at the Qin family, he directly ordered his trusted aides to lead a group of officers to the Qin family to arrest the person.

The personal and material evidence was conclusive, and there was no room for the Li family to quibble and deny. After understanding the situation, the officers took the Li family away and selected a few villagers to go to the Yamen to testify.

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to follow him to see if he could know the real purpose of the Li family's plan, but Mr. Qin stopped him: "It's not appropriate for you to go. Grandpa will go there in person. Grandpa who needs to figure it out will figure it out."

"Yes, Xiaoxiao. Although you have been falsely accused by them, you are a big girl. It's not like you are arguing with those people in court. You should let your grandfather go." Lin Qiuniang also advised her daughter, not wanting her to Take another trip through this muddy water.

Qin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Grandpa, there is something I didn't tell you."

When Mr. Qin heard this, he realized that this matter was very important. It might be related to the Li family's plot against their granddaughter, so he turned around and walked to the room: "Follow me."

Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed her. After closing the door, she said anxiously: "Grandpa, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Please don't be angry when you hear what I have to say."

Mr. Qin was very familiar with his granddaughter's appearance. As a child, whenever she did something bad and was afraid of being punished by him, she would speak to him in this tone. Thinking of this, there was a little smile in his eyes: "Tell me, grandpa won't bear you. gas."

Qin Xiaoxiao was not comforted. Looking at her grandfather's face, she told what happened between Sister Qingqing and Li Zhao.

She was not sure whether Li Zhao was involved in this conspiracy. If the mastermind was really him and he knew about the Li family being sent to the Yamen, he would definitely find a way to get them out. In this way, he and Sister Qingqing would The matter cannot be concealed.

She told her grandfather about this matter so that he could be prepared to deal with it, so as not to be caught off guard by Li Zhao or the Li family and make the trouble difficult to end.

"Girl, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mr. Qin had a dark face and endured it before he hit his granddaughter on the head: "What a nonsense!"

Qin Xiaoxiao subconsciously held her head, closed her eyes and said, "Grandpa, I promised not to be angry."

Mr. Qin was angry and funny. He coughed and then said with a straight face, "Okay? I'll settle this matter with you when I get back!" After that, he opened the door and left.

Qin Xiaoxiao escaped for the time being? She put down her hand and breathed a long sigh of relief. Just thinking of her grandfather's words, her face wrinkled into a bitter melon again: "Sister Qingqing? You have made me miserable."

Saying that, she felt it was necessary to go to Hujia Village and tell Sister Qingqing about the disgusting things the Li family had done so that she could be on guard. She also asked Sister Qingqing whether she had made things clear to Li Zhao.

When Qin Xiaoxiao came outside, Mr. Qin had already taken Qin Chuan to the county government office, and he might not be able to make it back today.

Knowing that she was going to Hujiacun? Others didn't think much about it. They just thought that she was frightened by the Li family and wanted to talk to Hu Qingqing. After a few words, they let her go.

Qin Xiaoxiao carried half of the wild goose that he had not had time to cook at noon, and took the rhubarb to Hujiacun.

Nowadays, every household is planting wheat, and almost all the family members are busy in the fields. The Hu family is no exception. They were surprised to see Qin Xiaoxiao. After seeing half of the wild goose in her hand, they thought she specially gave it to her.

Come over and give them a toothpaste.

Qin Xiaoxiao acquiesced and found an excuse to call Hu Qingqing to a deserted place.

"Xiaoxiao, has something happened?" Hu Qingqing asked anxiously, feeling that something was wrong with her coming here at this time.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her much thinner cousin and hesitated before asking: "Sister Qingqing, that day you said you would think carefully about things with Li Zhao. I don't know what's wrong with your thinking."

When Hu Qingqing heard this, she forced a smile on her lips: "The day after I came back from your house, I made it clear to him. He didn't say anything more and promised not to look for me."

How could Qin Xiaoxiao not see her sadness? He stepped forward and hugged her gently without saying anything.

"Okay, okay, I'm not sad anymore." Hu Qingqing smiled without any abnormalities on her face: "I can still live well without this person."

Qin Xiaoxiao also laughed: "I feel relieved if you think so."

Hu Qingqing smiled again and changed the subject: "Please tell me what you want from me. I will always feel uneasy if you don't explain it clearly."

After confirming that she and Li Zhao were no longer together, Qin Xiaoxiao had nothing to hide. He told the disgusting things that the Li family had done from beginning to end, and finally warned: "Li Zhao has seen me and knows about my relationship with you. If

If he comes to you to plead for mercy, you must ignore him."

Hu Qingqing's face became particularly ugly, and she gritted her teeth and said: "How dare they, how dare they!" As she said that, her eyes suddenly turned red: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble."

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, held her hand and said, "This is the fault of the Li family and has nothing to do with you."

"No, you have reminded me a long time ago that the Li family is not a kind family. It was because I was stupid and kept having expectations that I let the Li family plot against you." Hu Qingqing felt more and more guilty, and at the same time she felt that something was wrong:

"Xiaoxiao, I didn't tell him who you were. How did his family find you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt guilty, and after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so she told her family that they had taken a fancy to Li Zhao and wanted to recruit Li Zhao as their son-in-law, and also explained the reason why she concealed this matter from her.

.

After hearing this, Hu Qingqing stared at her and didn't know what to say. After a while, she was extremely happy and said: "We sisters almost fell into the same pit. Fortunately, you were smart and didn't listen to my uncle and the others. Fortunately, I listened too."

It’s yours.”

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, the Li family is indeed a big fire pit." After that, she glanced at her cousin's face and said tentatively: "I just don't know about this matter. Does Li Zhao know about it and is he involved in it?"

Hu Qingqing's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but speak for Li Zhao: "Xiaoxiao, let me tell you something, Brother Li should not be this kind of person..."

If Brother Li was a villain, how could he help her generously when she was in trouble? If this was his disguise and he later developed feelings for him, he would probably use this to ask for something from her, but from the beginning to the end

, he did nothing.

Even when she went to see him that day and said many heartless words to him, he silently accepted it and never bothered her again. He is a good person, completely different from his biological father, stepmother and brother.

"That's right. He is not on good terms with his family, so he shouldn't help them do evil." Seeing that his cousin trusted Li Zhao so much, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't say more, so he turned the conversation to the Li family: "This time the Li family

They have all been caught, who they are trying to plot against, we will know soon."

Hu Qingqing nodded and said with a frightened look on her face: "Fortunately, someone in the Li family got greedy and stole your things, so they can wash away the dirty water they splashed on you, otherwise you would really suffer from them."

With Mr. Jing's family background, it is already very difficult to marry Xiaoxiao. If Xiaoxiao's reputation is damaged this time, Mr. Jing may also have a grudge, and his family will not agree to the marriage.

"Okay, don't think too much about things that haven't happened." Qin Xiaoxiao comforted her cousin, and then said with some shame: "I had no choice but to tell grandpa about you and Li Zhao, will you blame me?"

"Of course not. You are clearly protecting me by doing this." Hu Qingqing is not stupid. How could she not know the reason why she told her grandfather: "We are good sisters. Your good intentions for me are the same as my good intentions for you.

Same."

Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face again: "You also know my grandpa's temper. As long as the Li family is dealt with, grandpa will not tell anyone else about it. You don't have to worry about my aunt and others knowing about it."

Hu Qingqing felt relieved and nodded repeatedly: "I understand."

The two sisters talked for a while, but when they saw that it was getting late, Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to go back in a hurry, so she followed Hu Qingqing to the wheat field, greeted Qin Guihua and others, and then she left with Dahuang Meie.

When they got home, the sun was about to set. Qin Xiaoxiao washed rice and vegetables, and burned Zhao Cao'er and Xueya's food together. When they came back from planting wheat, the two families had dinner together.

"Rhubarb has done a great job today, and this thigh meat is for Rhubarb to eat." Qin Shan picked up the only goose leg and put it into Rhubarb's rice bowl, and touched its head lovingly: "Eat more."

Rhubarb didn't show any politeness to him, and slowly bit into the stewed goose leg meat.

It is too old. Several of its teeth have been lost, and the remaining ones have become loose. It cannot chew bones and eat hard objects. Usually, when the meat is cooked, it has to be torn into small pieces for it to eat.

It was also the Qin family who carefully fed her. If it were another family, she wouldn't be alive now.

Everyone stared at the rhubarb and finished eating the wild goose legs. They were all happier than eating the meat themselves.

Zhao Cao'er took a bite of rice and told Qin Xiaoxiao while eating: "Now the whole village knows that there are many treasures hidden in your room. You must lock the door when you come in and out, and don't let anyone touch it.

.”

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Second Aunt, I will be careful."

Thinking of the disgusting things done by the Li family, Zhao Cao'er was still a little angry: "Things that have suffered are blinded by money. They dare to steal things in broad daylight. If they weren't caught, they would have lost the treasure without saying anything. Xiaoxiao would still have to pay compensation."

It’s really hateful to have such a good reputation!”

Ever since the Qin family became a well-known and wealthy family in the neighborhood, they have often been cared about by thieves. They always attack in the dead of night, but after so many years, no one has succeeded.

The reason is that Dahuang and Bieme are so good at housekeeping, and together they can defeat all thieves.

I don’t know if the fact that the Qin family is difficult to steal has spread among thieves. In recent years, few people have tried to steal from the Qin family, let alone burglaries in broad daylight. I have to say that the Li family

The courage of these two people is so great.

"I don't know what the situation is now. Those vicious people from the Li family will spend several years in jail." Lin Qiuniang also hated her very much, especially the culprits, Father Li and Mother Li.

She didn't understand, they were both parents, why would they be willing to harm other people's children.

"According to the criminal law, those two thieves must be imprisoned for at least ten years." Qin Xiaoxiao has studied the criminal law and knows the general sentencing rules: "Those who are petty thieves will be beaten to a pulp and imprisoned for ten and a half months. People like them will

The things stolen are too valuable, so the punishment is relatively severe."

"Tsk, you deserve it!" Zhao Cao'er gloated: "Such a bad boy can cause harm to people if left outside. If he is locked up for a few more years to learn a lesson, maybe he will know how to be a good person when he comes out."

Lin Qiuniang was most concerned about the government's punishment of Li's father and Li's mother. She continued to ask her daughter: "They are the two masterminds. Should the sentence be more severe?"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It depends on the situation. If they change their words and say that they admitted the wrong person and found the wrong person, they will probably get slapped with a slap in the face."

When Lin Qiuniang heard this, her face became very ugly: "They ruined your reputation, which is no better than killing people. Just getting a slap in the face is too light!"

Mrs. Miao was also very angry and said angrily: "If I had known this, before the officials arrived in the afternoon, I should have taught them a lesson with a mallet!"

Qin Shan had a stern face, and there was a fierce look in his eyes: "If this is really the case, let's spend some money to hire a few gangsters elsewhere, and they will cause trouble to the Li family every day, so that they will never live in peace for the rest of their lives!"

Xueya said coldly: "I will pay for the hiring."

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. He didn't want them to ruin their mood for eating because of a few evildoers, so he quickly said: "What I said is not accurate. It depends on the Yamen how to decide the sentence. Maybe the Li family has committed other crimes and been punished."

He was caught and sentenced to a heavier sentence than the two thieves."

After hearing what she said, everyone's mood really improved: "You're right, they are so vicious-hearted, they may have really done it. With the Yamen's methods, they will definitely be able to find out."

A few people talked for a while, and when they saw that the food was getting cold, they stopped talking and started eating. They worked all day today and didn't have a good meal at noon, so they were all starving now.

At night, Mr. Qin and Qin Chuan did not come back. Early the next morning, Lin Qiuniang went to the homes of the villagers who had gone to the Yamen to testify, and found out that they had not come back either. She couldn't help but suspect that the Yamen would go to court to hear the case overnight.

As Lin Qiuniang expected, the Yamen did go to court overnight and interrogated everyone in the Li family one by one. It was too late to get them to collude in confession.
