Chapter 147: 2 Scored
Another three days passed, and the Xu family hadn't seen even a hair of the money. It seemed that the Xu family really didn't plan to pay the money.
Xu Qing sat in the kitchen and ate the porridge cooked by Su Qian. She had to say that her wife's cooking skills were getting better and better, and the porridge was getting more and more delicious.
With the accumulation of time, now Su Qian secretly learned more and more dishes.
Having such terrifying force at such a young age is indeed a talent with strong learning.
Su Qian can learn so much after just working in the kitchen for a few days... It's scary.
What is it like to have a lady who is strong in martial arts but smart and capable?
Now, if Xu Qing still has the secret recipe of sweet and sour short ribs in his hands, the kitchen at home would have nothing to do with him at all.
After Xu Qing finished eating, Su Qian came over to take away Xu Qing's job. At this moment, Su Qian has become more and more like a good wife. The cleaning touches faded a lot.
It's just that Xu Qing still hasn't seen Su Qian smile, at most, she can only sense that Su Qian is in a good mood through the changes between Su Qian's eyebrows.
Letting the lady learn to smile has become Xu Qing's top priority now.
...
Su Qian silently washed Xu Qing's bowl after eating and put it back in place.
Through living in the kitchen for the past few days, Su Qian realized that cooking is not an easy task, especially after cooking for a long time, her waist is prone to soreness. Thinking about Xu Qing's hard work after a busy day in the shop Su Qian felt even more ashamed of cooking.
After all, she was at home every day, and there was nothing else to do besides practicing the sword and reading the scriptures that Xu Qing brought back every day.
So Su Qian tried to take over something for Xu Qing, at least so that he would not be so tired anymore. With this idea, Su Qian began to go to the kitchen to see Xu Qing by helping Xu Qing cut and wash vegetables. How do you cook on weekdays, and what do you put in for seasoning?
If she learned how to cook, Xu Qing wouldn't need to be so tired every day.
But...if Su Qian knew how comfortable Xu Qing was in the shop every day, she would probably change her mind immediately...
...
At this time, County Magistrate Su also came to the kitchen. Su Qian had already taken over the breakfast business, and Magistrate Su also knew about it.
After sitting down, County Magistrate Su took a sip of the bowl of porridge brought by Su Qian, smacked his lips and said, "Well, the taste is rich and mellow, Qian'er's cooking skills are getting better and better, that's up to me."
Xu Qing on the side couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he was very curious, how did the father-in-law manage to tell nonsense without changing his face or beating his heart?
Is this up to you?
After all, the nonsense I said in the state government a few days ago was the same as the truth...
Recalling the acting skills of that day, Xu Qing couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart. It's a pity that she didn't become an actor in her previous life!
Alas, this Talent is all wasted...
in the kitchen
County Magistrate Su drank the last spoonful of porridge in the bowl, looked at Xu Qing and asked, "Now the Xu family is overdue, but they still haven't sent a tael of silver over. It seems that they don't plan to."
Xu Qing sighed and said: "If it is overdue, it will be doubled... This deal is not worth it, 30,000 taels and 60,000 taels don't even make sense. The position? Could it be that he got the position through unspoken rules?"
The county magistrate of Su couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he heard this. Xu Qing was still helping the Xu family to settle accounts. They were determined to lose the money, so what could the Su family do? Go to the state government to file a complaint?
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Su was a little puzzled. He looked at Xu Qing and asked, "What are unspoken rules?"
...
At this moment, Xuan'er ran in in a panic again and said: "Master, uncle, miss, it's not good, it's not good, there's another official mission coming from outside! I asked my uncle to come over!"
After Su County Magistrate, Xu Qing and Su Qian came out of the Su Mansion, they saw a few officials standing outside. Due to the cold weather, they kept stomping their feet and gasping, trying to relieve the cold. .
The chief official saw Xu Qing coming out, walked over and said, "Young Master Xu, Mr. Inspector, please go over..."
Well, it's the second time this month... I don't know if there will be a third time.
County Magistrate Su asked puzzledly, "What's going on this time?"
The chief official bowed and said, "Returning to Mr. Su, it is because... Mr. Xu Shen of Xu Sima's mansion had his right leg broken. Xu Sima sued Mr. Xu for personal revenge..."
As soon as the chief official had finished speaking, both Su Qian and Su County Magistrate looked at Xu Qing in shock. What Xu Qing said while looking at Xu Sima in front of the prefectural yamen that day could not help but echo in their ears: It's better for Xu Sima to give the thirty thousand taels of silver, otherwise, what made the young master break his right arm this time may be his right leg next time.
He... so it's not just talking...
But... when did he move his hands? Why don't I know anything about it?
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and Su County Magistrate who looked shocked and shrugged: "What are you doing looking at me like that? I didn't do it. When you get to the prefectural office, it's fine if you say it..."
The county magistrate of Su had only one sentence in his mind at this time: Didn't you do it? It's not you who made the ghost!
But at this time, County Magistrate Su was very satisfied, dare to have thoughts about his daughter? You deserve it if you break all three legs!
...
state government
Sitting in the hall, Inspector Xu looked at Xu Qing and Xu Sima standing in the hall, and said, "Master Xu, do you have proof that Xu Qing broke one of your son's right legs for personal revenge?"
Xu Sima said: "I have evidence."
The assassin coughed, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself why Xu Qing was so careless this time?
Even though he thought so, the governor still asked, "What evidence does Mr. Xu have?"
Xu Sima said: "When I left the court that day, at the gate of the state government, Xu Qing once said that if the subordinate officials did not pay Xu Qing 30,000 taels of compensation on time, they would make the subordinate officials be careful about his right leg, but just yesterday At night, after recovering a bit, Shen'er went to play in the street market, but his right leg was broken by someone in an alley next to Piaoxiangyuan, so the lower officials concluded that it must be Xu Qing's hand!"
The assassin nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not direct evidence but just a one-sided statement.
Afterwards, Governor Xu looked at Xu Qing and said, "Xu Qing, what do you have to say?"
I saw Xu Qing next to him cupped his hands and said: "Lord Inspector, I sue Xu Sima for failing to pay the compensation due to me within the time limit..."
