Dressed as a blacksmith

"Come on, search for me!"

Yu Qiao Ji was quickly broken into by the county government arresters early in the morning, and a group of people quickly gathered outside the shop to watch, discussing what happened.

Xing Wu sent Zheng Xin to work in the shop. Seeing something bad, he told Zheng Xin to go back to the iron shop first, and take a bullock cart to Xianhe Village to report to Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng.

As soon as Qiao Yuan saw him coming, he knew it was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Xing Wudao: "A group of arresters quickly went to Yuqiaoji to search, saying that someone reported that the shop used low-quality ingredients and sold out of dim sum."

According to the law of Da Chu, all food is poisonous, if it is eaten by others and sold, the staff will be ninety years, and it will be three years. [1]

Knowing that the matter was serious, Qiao Yuan hurriedly urged Yu Dameng to drive the car, and the three rushed all the way to the shop.

The group of police officers searched the shop very carefully, hoping to take the opportunity to find something, but when Qiao Yuan left, he hadn't finished searching.

Yu Qiao Ji was created by Qiao Yuan alone. Seeing that the shop has been knocked down, Qiao Yuan burst into anger, suppressed his anger and asked Zhuo Butou, who was sitting leisurely in the shop drinking tea, "My lord, I don't know." What did the shop do?"

Nazhuo refilled his cup of tea, tilted his body and looked at Qiao Yuan, a little frivolous, "You are the shopkeeper of Yu Qiaoji?"

Yu Dameng pulled Qiao Yuan behind him, and looked at him with a sullen face. Only then did Zhuo catch his eyes and cleared his throat, and said, "Ma Shun'er, your shop assistant, reported that your dim sum ingredients are adulterated and have changed their quality. The dim sum refurbished and sold."

It's Ma Shun'er, who eats inside and out!

Qiao Yuan cursed in his heart, and immediately said: "Impossible! The rice and noodles in our shop are all high-quality products purchased from Jiacang Grain Store, and other raw materials are supplied in the village, so the quality is guaranteed."

Zhuo Butou smiled, and said lightly: "It doesn't count if you said it?"

The policeman who searched happened to bring up the "evidence", and the policeman Zhuo signaled with his eyes, "That's what counts."

After speaking, he got up and looked at the so-called evidence, moldy rice, noodles mixed with rice bran, and snacks that had been spoiled for several days.

He clicked his tongue twice and teased, "Shopkeeper Qiao, the evidence is as solid as a mountain."

"This is a false accusation!" Yu Dameng clenched his fists and said angrily. He knows how much Fulang likes to be clean and how strict he is with the selection of materials for the shop.

Catcher Zhuo was taken aback by his roar, and yelled: "You just say yes? Then why do you need evidence?"

"The evidence is solid, who of you will come with me?"

"Me!" Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan responded at the same time.

"This shop is under my name, and I should be taken according to the law." Yu Dameng emphasized.

According to the laws of the Chu Dynasty, except for the dowry, married women and brothers are not allowed to have private property, so all the property in the family is in the name of Yu Dameng.

Qiao Yuan was in a hurry to respond, Yu Dameng turned to him and said: "The prison is bitter and cold, your body can't bear it."

"Your brain is better than mine, and it's easier to find out the truth if you stay outside." Yu Dameng ordered, "Send a letter to ask elder brother to come back, and then ask a lawyer to help as a consultant. There is a military card that I served in the past at home, and you send someone to send it to me." The admiral's mansion in the prefectural city, where I had an old friend in the camp, he has a big position now, please help him."

Yu Dameng saw that Fulang's face was pale, his eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was tangled up.He squeezed Qiao Yuan's hand, coaxing him softly: "Don't be afraid."

Qiao Yuan nodded, watching Yu Dameng being taken away in shackles, feeling sore in his heart.

The arresters dispersed quickly, leaving only a mess.

Ming Chen anxiously said: "Boss, what should we do?"

Qiao Yuan wiped away his tears, and quickly arranged things, "You go and invite Big Brother Meng Bei, let him find Ma Shun'er, and watch him first. Ming Xu will take care of the shop and don't touch anything. Xing Wu will drive back to the village with me to pick it up first." thing."

He still doesn't know much about the criminal law here, and he doesn't know what will happen to Yu Dameng in prison. Just thinking about the possibility of him being tortured, his heart is about to break.

Almost home, Qiao Yuan wiped away his tears and collected himself.

Qiao Wang didn't know why he and Yu Dameng left in such a hurry, seeing him go back and forth, asked curiously: "Why are you back again?"

Qiao Yuan tried his best to smile, "I forgot to take something."

Qiao Wang smiled, looked behind him, saw that it was Xing Wu, and asked, "Where's Da Meng?"

"The iron shop is busy, Da Meng can't leave, I'll ask Xing Wu to take me back."

Qiao Wang didn't doubt that he was there, Qiao Yuan went back to the house to write a letter to find the military card, and Qiao Wang greeted Xing Wu outside.

But things can't be kept secret, just as Qiao Yuan wrote a letter to tell Father Yu, Qiao Guangzhi came to him.

"Brother Yuan, when you caught me and lost my job, did you ever think about today?"

"I framed you?" Qiao Yuan clenched his fists tightly, "Which of the things that Manager Liu said when he fired you that day is not true?"

Qiao Guangzhi sneered twice, "I'm not here today to argue with you."

He turned around and asked Qiao Wang, "Mother, do you want to go back with me?"

Qiao Wangshi was in a fog and didn't understand what happened, so Qiao Yuan had no choice but to talk to her.

"It's you?" Qiao Wang was so shocked that she almost couldn't breathe, she pointed at Qiao Guangzhi and asked, "Why are you so cruel? Brother Yuan is your brother's son!"

"Brother, brother." Qiao Guangzhi gritted his teeth like he was going crazy, "Mother, you know the second brother!"

"He was the one who was sent to the city as an apprentice, he was the one who married Yunniang, and he was the one who could make you live a better life. Have you ever thought about me?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Wang clutched her chest, trembling all over, "Back then when I brought you and Guangcheng to meet the shopkeeper Hu, he picked Guangcheng himself, and he said you were too utilitarian to calm down. "

"Yunniang and Guangcheng like each other, and the in-laws value Guangcheng's character even more, so they betrothed Yunniang to him and helped him find a job. Where is my business?"

"The past is hard to come back to." Qiao Guangzhi closed his eyes and said calmly, "Mother, you can go back with me, I can let you live a good life now."

Qiao Wang's heart ached unceasingly. The son he raised so hard had such a face, "I won't go back with you! I don't have a son like you!"

"Okay." Qiao Guangzhi's eyes didn't contain any warmth, "Mother, if you don't come with me today, you can wait to go to prison with the members of the Yu family!"

The coal ball barked at him, Qiao Guangzhi scoffed, and walked away.

"Grandma." Qiao Yuan supported Qiao Wangshi, not knowing how to comfort her.

Qiao Wang touched Qiao Yuan's hand, and said with tears in his eyes, "Do whatever you want."

After she finished speaking, she went back to the room trembling slightly.

Qiao Yuan asked Mrs. Wang to take good care of her, and went to the old house to discuss countermeasures with Yu's father Lin Cuifen.

"Father, you are more familiar with Fucheng than Xing Wu, it's better for you to deliver the letter to elder brother."

Father Yu was worried about his son, but after all, he was still able to hold on. He took the letter and military badge and carefully put them in his arms.

Lin Cuifen was completely panicked and burst into tears.

Qiao Yuan's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but wanted to cry, but he had to be steady, "Mother, don't let Brother Qiu and Shanwen know about this in advance. I'm staying in the shop these few days, and I won't come back. If If there is any news, I will ask someone to tell you."

Lin Cuifen nodded, and didn't say much. Father Yu went to the pier to take a boat to Fucheng, and Qiao Yuan went to Ma Shun'er's house to confront him.

"As I said, Ma Shun'er is really not at home." Ma Shun's wife said.

Meng Bei nodded, "I've already looked for it, and I also asked my brother to look for it at his relatives and friends' homes, and they are indeed not there."

Qiao Yuan guessed that he should have been invited by Qiao Guangzhi or Zhang Wensheng, fearing that he would retract his confession.

It seemed that this way was not going to work, so Qiao Yuan took the next best thing and asked Ma Shun's daughter-in-law, "Has anyone looked for him these days?"

Ma Shun'er's daughter-in-law hesitated to speak, but Ma Shun'er's mother suddenly rushed over and sat on the ground, crying and making noise, "Everyone come and see, Ma Shun'er is not at home, someone has come to bully us, the old and the weak, women and children!"

"Don't cry!" Qiao Yuan was so upset that he yelled violently, and Ma Shun'er's mother was stuck there, trembling with fright.

Qiao Yuan's tone was cold, "Tell Ma Shun'er that this is his last chance. If he insists on doing this, don't blame me for being merciless, and he will definitely make his life worse than death."

Qiao Yuan didn't continue to waste time here. Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Ma Shun'er's mother wearing a gold bracelet, so he asked Meng Bei to inquire about the news.

Ma Shun's daughter-in-law sighed, she had a good time, so why do such unreasonable things!

According to the law of the Chu Dynasty, he would be promoted to the court for a joint trial every five or ten days, and there should be three days left, but the county government actually knew that Qiao Yuan would go to the court for a joint trial tomorrow.

"He is afraid that my elder brother is back, and he wants to be convicted first."

This matter is full of loopholes, and Qiao Yuan can argue it out on his own without seeking a lawyer, but the problem is that the county magistrate doesn't care whether the matter is true or not, he is trying to prove the crime, or force Yu Xiangxue to bow his head as a son-in-law or Deliberately retaliate.

He is not afraid, at worst, he will go to prison with Yu Dameng, and when Chu Li or Yu Xiangxue come back to rescue him, he is worried that Yu Dameng will suffer from torture in prison.

in the dungeon.

Zhang Wensheng walked slowly, and wherever he went, the yamen servants bowed their heads one after another, and the errands leading the way were even more obsequious, one young master at a time, this feeling was not too good.

He went to a place where Yu Dameng was imprisoned.

The cell smelled strange, cold and dark, Yu Dameng was sitting against the wall, looking at the light coming through the narrow window.

Zhang Wensheng curled his lips into a smile, "Brother Yu."

Yu Dameng glanced at him, but ignored him.

Zhang Wensheng continued: "Why do you have to suffer so much?"

"I know that Yu Qiao Ji is run by that bitch Qiao Yuan from the beginning to the end, and has nothing to do with you."

"Shut up!" Yu Dameng finally reacted when he heard what he said about Qiao Yuan. He clenched his fists and glared at him angrily. If it wasn't for the shackles, he would have punched him in the face.

He was originally a lowly craftsman, but now he is a bereaved dog and dare to talk to him like this!

Zhang Wensheng was annoyed in his heart, and suppressed his anger to persuade him to achieve his goal, "Don't be angry."

"As long as you give up that Qiao Yuan, I will pray for the sake of our friendship in the same village, and pray that the county magistrate will let you go."

Being humiliated and cursed by Qiao Yuan like that, Zhang Wensheng has no pity for him now, and only wants to take revenge and torture him.

Doesn't he care about Yu Dameng the most?Then let Yu Dameng abandon him, and let him taste the feeling of being betrayed and abandoned.

Zhang Wensheng knew in his heart that the county magistrate still valued Yu Xiangxue, and was more or less concerned about the connections behind Yu Xiangxue. This move was more to force Yu Xiangxue to bow his head.

But he knew this person, he would rather be broken than broken, fearing that it would be necessary to fight to the death, when the county magistrate was furious, no one from the Yu family would be able to escape, and the fake case would become real.

Before that, let Yu Dameng and Qiao stay away from his heart, why not do it?

"Don't even think about it!" Yu Dameng was annoyed, he knew that this man still had a heart for his husband, "Brother Yuan belongs to me!"

He thought for a while, and replied with what Qiao Yuan often said to him: "A husband and wife should face problems together."

"You should give up that heart! My husband only cares about me, and has never liked you before." Yu Dameng said confidently.

Zhang Wen was so angry that he jumped, this man is a lump of elm!

"Nonsense! I don't like him at all!"

"He's as vulgar as you are!"

If it weren't for the county magistrate who still wanted to leave room for Yu Xiangxue to come back, he would have to torture Yu Dameng and make him suffer!

Also let him realize clearly who is in charge now!
