"Where's your wife?"

"gone."

Zhu Zoutou looked at Liu Qing with an indifferent look. He was unbearable because of his wife, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, which was unsightly.

"A man who can't even see his daughter-in-law can hurt her under his nose, so he's not worthy of being a man!" Zhu Chutou raised his voice excitedly.

Ji Wei nodded very cooperatively, "Yeah, not worthy."

"Shut up! You're no better!" Zhu Zhutou glared at him.

"Why do you two commit crimes every time I'm on vacation, so you can't do it another day?" Zhu Zhaotou was so angry that he poured it all over the two of them. In addition, Liu Qing refused to cooperate, and his actions became rude.

Sometimes will give him a fist on the head, and sometimes will kick him in the back. Instead, Ji Wei obediently followed behind Zhu Zhaotou without needing him to urge him, so he was not beaten, and sometimes he could follow Zhu Zhaotou. Let's talk a few words calmly, the atmosphere is good.

The same perpetrators, this contrast is much more stark.

When the three arrived at the county office, Zhu Zatou sent someone to invite the county magistrate.

About half an hour later, Lu Zhanhong came to the county office to hear the fight between the two.

In fact, as soon as Lu Zhanhong saw Ji Wei and Liu Qing, his brows were furrowed. On the one hand, he hated these bastards from the Qinglong Gang, and on the other hand, he thought of the moon cakes that Ji Wei delivered to his door, and owed him favors.

However, Lu Zhanhong has always been unselfish.

Impressions between people are very important.

Just like Ji Wei and Liu Qing are in Lu Zhanhong's heart, Ji Wei's impression is better than Liu Qing's, so Lu Zhanhong chooses Ji Wei when he chooses the object of questioning.

Ji Wei explained the cause and effect of the gambling contract, and handed it over as evidence.

Liu Qing was beside him, staring at the piece of paper with red eyes, watching helplessly as it was brought to Lu Zhanhong's table.

If it was said that there was some luck in the past, but once it was delivered to Lu Zhanhong, it was almost a certainty, and he couldn't let it go if he wanted to.

Liu Qing gritted his teeth with hatred, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"The signature and fingerprints of this deed are complete, Liu Qing, can you admit this deed?" Lu Zhanhong asked in a deep voice with a square face in Chinese characters.

"Sir, this contract is true, but Ji Wei coaxed the villain to sign it. It can't be true!" Liu Qing lost Lin Qing, just like a hungry wolf lost its claws. And, his head was blank, and he couldn't think of a good countermeasure to refute Ji Wei's words.

What Ji Wei said was the truth after all.

"Oh? How did he coax him, tell the truth."

Lu Zhanhong said so, but finding loopholes in the truth and compiling lies is much more difficult than simply telling lies. With Liu Qing's brain, this is really difficult for him.

He scratched his head and thought, hesitating for a long time, before making an excuse, saying that Ji Wei threatened him with the business of his stall and asked him to sign the contract.

Ji Weiyi listened and sneered disdainfully.

"Mr. Lu, this cake was made by a small man, and he was the first person to sell cake on the street. Baozi Xishi took advantage of my injury at home, stealing skills, and would rather lose money and steal my business. Liu Qing's words are full of loopholes. , I also hope that the adults will see it clearly." Ji Wei laid his hands flat on the ground and kowtowed lightly.

What he said, Lu Zhanhong already understood clearly when he came back to the county office last time, and of course he knew that Ji Wei didn't lie.

Ji Wei didn't tell a lie at that time, what Liu Qing said was a lie.

He slapped the gavel and shouted, "Upside down right and wrong, despise the court, this officer will punish you with twenty big boards, and you will execute it later!" .

"My lord, this is really Ji Wei's conspiracy. Xiaomin's family is less than twenty taels. How could he make such a bet with him? My lord, Ji Wei's words are not credible!"

"My lord, Liu Qing, Lin Qing, and Li Erhei, who were imprisoned for the last time they were beaten, held grudges against the small people. They agreed to share the cost, and they made cakes at a low price. It’s a pity that this plan didn’t work, Liu Qing’s stealing chickens won’t make a profit, and that’s how he is now.”

"Master's insight!"

Ji Weiyi said that Lu Zhanhong finally understood the inconsistency in this matter.

For example, the two are obviously opponents, and they are not used to each other. They used to do it with real swords and guns. The bottom line is that he is complaining in his heart and wants to bring down Ji Wei's business and make it difficult for him to move in Changliu Town.

Such a poisonous plan, Liu Qing, a person with energy and no brains, could not have come up with it. Then someone gave him advice later. Since he didn't get involved this time, it obviously shows that the relationship between the few people is not as good as before, and there is a rift.

Lu Zhanhong is a smart man, Ji Wei just said a few words and guessed the truth. No matter how Liu Qing argues, with the deed in hand, there is an ironclad proof that debts and repayments are justifiable, even the county magistrate can't confuse right and wrong.

In addition, Lu Zhanhong didn't like Liu Qing's eyes early on, and when he had the opportunity to rectify and rectify, how could he let it go?

Immediately asked Liu Qing to pay off 20 taels of silver within half a month, and ordered him not to go to the street to ask for protection money. Accumulate sequentially.

Under such severe punishment, Liu Qing did not dare to have even half a point of fluke.

After leaving the court, Liu Qing was dragged to the back yard by Zhu Zhutou and others for execution. After 20 strokes of the stick, he said too much, not too much. Liu Qing was beaten and screamed again and again. Hearing it in Ji Wei's ears, it was like a wonderful song, and he was relaxed and happy.

"Ji Wei, come here, Master Lu is looking for you." The master ran up from behind and waved at Ji Wei who had not left.

"Master Chen, I don't know what the lord is looking for me?"

"I don't know, just go if you tell me." Master Chen sent Ji Wei away with a look of disgust.

Lu Zhanhong withdrew from the hall, took off his official hat with limited mobility, and sat in the room drinking tea to moisten his throat. Seeing Ji Wei coming, he asked someone to make him a cup of tea.
