The manager was Qi Jiu's confidant. He couldn't ignore such a big deal. He did not tell Ji Wan for the time being, but was planning to send someone to investigate first. However, before the person left the capital, he received a letter from his sister, informing him of the whole story.

Ji Cheng's fiancée is Qiuling. She helped settle the accounts in the store before getting engaged. After getting engaged, she went out. After the weather turned cold, the hot pot restaurant business got better, so she occasionally went to help. Qiuling was quite beautiful, and she was inevitably seen when she came in and out. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, she met a playboy.

This person is a romantic wanderer and has great means to deal with women. On the day of checkout, he deliberately left a jade pendant on the table. Qiu Ling is a shy and honest girl, how dare she embezzle the noble people's things? He immediately chased her with the jade pendant. The other party was a little surprised, and then took the jade pendant with a smile, and accidentally touched her fingertips. It seemed unexpected, but Qiu Ling suddenly blushed.

Later, this man asked a friend to go to the store to eat hot pot every few days. He would give him a reward every time he checked out, and he looked at Qiu Ling for a moment with a hidden smile.

Qiu Ling is a young girl with spring in her heart. Her fiancé is far away in the capital. She is inevitably worried that Ji Cheng will see the prosperity of the capital. She forgets her fiancée who has never seen any world. The young man is handsome and generous. She occasionally talks, gentle and elegant, and has feelings. Although the Ji family has a young wife, her mother's family is still a commoner, and Ji Ping is still a soldier. Ji Cheng is also studying, but he doesn't know when he will be able to go high school. Compared with the elegant and handsome young man in front of him, he appears immediately.

She was in a state of spring, but she remembered that she had an engagement, and she was struggling and tormented inside, and she didn't dare to tell anyone. But she went to the hot pot restaurant obviously more frequently.

On the Double Ninth Festival, she and a few friends went out for a trip and "accidentally met" the man. The man "can't help but express his lovesickness to the beauty. Qiu Ling, who was already ready to move, burst into tears when she heard it, and said sadly that the fact that she had an engagement. However, she could not stop the other party's "deep love for her, and the lovesickness became disease". The two had a beginning and end that day.

Once there was a second time, and in the end the two of them had an affair in the store, and they were caught on the spot.

This matter was completely exposed.

Qiu Ling's father Qiu Manager was so angry that he wanted to beat her to death. However, Qiu Ling cried and said that she was pregnant and that her engagement with Ji Cheng could only be terminated. Qiu Manager Qiu's eyes turned dark and she fainted directly.

I was caught in public and this incident spread all over the day.

Not long after, Ji Hong knew about this. She was pregnant with a child. After hearing this, she was so shocked that she almost got angry. Then she wrote a letter to go to the capital. She didn't know the details, so she only highlighted the key points.

After reading the letter, Ji Hai and his wife were both shocked and angry.

They never expected that the shy and taciturn little girl could do something that was so ugly about her fiancé and others, which was like stepping on Ji Cheng's face to the ground.

The couple was furious, but they could not hide the matter and still had to tell their son.

Ji Cheng couldn't believe it at all. He was only seventeen years old. He liked a girl for the first time, but he encountered such betrayal and could not accept the blow. He shook his head repeatedly and murmured "Impossible".

Ji Hai and Miao felt very distressed when they looked at their son and didn't know how to comfort him.

Ji Ping said angrily, "It's so damning. Second brother, such a woman with aphrodisiacs is not worth your nostalgia. Fortunately, you are not married yet, so you just retire. I'll find a better one for you in the future."

Ji Cheng sat dejectedly on the chair, pale and dull eyes, and was obviously hit hard.

If the children are pregnant, the marriage will definitely be retired.

Ji Hai decided to go back to the north in person.

At this time, Ji Wan came.

She also received a letter from Qi Min. After all, this is related to the affairs of the Ji family, and the Ji family has the right to know the details. Ji Hong only knew Qiu Ling's betrayal, but Qi Min saw that there was something else behind the incident.

That young man seduced Qiu Ling not just about being greedy for beauty, but about being greedy for hot pot base recipes!

Everyone knows that the boss behind Ji's hotpot is powerful and dare not provoke it, so they came up with this evil way.

Qiu Ling was young and didn't know the depth. She really thought that her lover was deeply in love with her and wanted to marry her, so she gave her virginity. Who knew that the husband, who had just been ruthless in his arms, turned against her and asked her father to hand over the hot pot base recipe before she was willing to take her as her concubine.

That's right, it's a concubine.

Qiu Ling was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

The romantic man looked faint, with a three-point contempt and frivolous tone. "How can such a woman who is ignorant of her qualities come in from the main door? I am willing to take you as my concubine and give you a title, so I am kind."

Actually, he was right.

In this era of rigorous feudal ethics, a woman can get pregnant before marriage and can be soaked in a pig cage. Being able to join a rich family as a concubine is her best way out. After all, the matter has been exposed and it cannot be blocked by everyone in any case. Even if she is carried back to become a concubine by a sedan chair, she will inevitably lose her verbal words. What else can she have to ask for?

However, for Qiuling, this is like a bolt from the blue.

She looked pale, "You said you would marry me, otherwise I wouldn't have to do with you..."

Before he finished speaking, the other party sneered.

"You have a engagement, but you show up on your face and gossip with men, and your heart is not right. Even without me, there will be others."

Qiu Ling's face turned pale again, and she was squirming her lips, but she could not find a rebuttal.

If a slap can't be slapped, it's true that a man can tempt it, but Qiu Ling's ingenuity is also true. Otherwise, why would she have sex with others in the wilderness? Now, she can only follow him.

However, he had to get the recipe for hot pot base before he could accept her.

How could my father give it to me?

Not to mention that the boss is the prince's wife of the Duke's Mansion, and he has a big backer behind him. My father went to the store to do business and signed a contract. If he gave the recipe, it would be like breaking the contract and he would have to sue.

That man is really easy to plot.

He does not steal or rob, and he does not break the law if he gets the recipe. All the crimes and blames fall on his father. When his father is imprisoned, he will be "using improper means" to become a concubine. He will be despised and bullied. Can he have a good life?

Qiu Ling felt chill all over.

"So you've been lying to me from the beginning."

The man smiled romantically, his eyes still full of affection, "It's not all, at least you are pretty good in this way and your figure."

Qiu Ling looked at him for a while, laughed bitterly, suddenly stood up and rushed to the door.

Bang

The loud noise was deafening, and Qiu Ling's soft fallen body and blood gurgled on her forehead were reflected in the man's shocked pupils.

She is dead.

He could not bear the humiliation, repented at the end of his life, and did not want his father to make things difficult for him, so he chose to commit suicide.

In this way, Feng Jian becomes a villain who forces the good daughter to death.

Things changed a big turn, catching the man off guard.

Qiu Ling's father woke up and learned that his daughter was dead. He fainted in anger. The matter quickly alarmed the government. However, the lawsuit was a confusing debt. The man's father was the local magistrate.

Unfortunately, it has something to do with Ji Wan. Specifically, it should have something to do with the Zhou family.

This person's surname is Xu, and he is the elder brother of Aunt Xu, the concubine of her third uncle!

Ji Wan came to the door today to tell Ji Hai and his wife that Qiu Ling was dead and the engagement was invalid, so Ji Hai didn't need to go there in person. As for the rest, she will handle it.

Aunt Xu's brother is the magistrate of Qingzhou County, more than 100 miles away from Dengzhou. The reason why his son went to Dengxian was actually to relax. The reason was that he was just because he was a fool who was not good at literature and martial arts, and was often disliked by his own father. He ran away from home in anger. Then, he went to eat hot pot by his friend's introduction. Ji's hot pot has been opened in the north for several years, but there are not many branches and has not yet spread to Qingzhou. He witnessed the hot pot restaurant's business with his own eyes, and thought that if he got the recipe for the hot pot base and opened a Xu's hot pot, he would have a lot of money and make money every day, and his father would look down on him?

He was still a little brained and knew that he could not rob it. After all, although his aunt was a concubine of a high school, she had fallen out of favor. Even his father could not be a county magistrate of Qingzhou until his death. Therefore, he really didn't dare to use his power to suppress others. After seeing Qiu Ling, he came up with a plan. Although Qiu Ling was not well-born and not very beautiful, her figure was really good. After the matter was done, it was not necessary to be taken into the mansion as a concubine.

He tried his best to please the little girl.

It took two months to finally achieve results. Who would have thought that this vain woman was still a strong man and was hit to death like this.

Master Xu was caught off guard. He hated his plan and failed, and he was even more worried that he would get into trouble and returned in a hurry.

As expected, the old saying is still right.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Aunt Xu is a greedy person, and her brother is also a villain who only knows how to do things. This nephew is even more shameless.

This family is really not OK without cleaning up.

Human greed is infinite. The cancer of the Xu family is a disaster and must be removed together. The Xu family and the Zhou family are somewhat related, which can cause trouble, so she sent someone to the Zhou family to deliver the letter.

Zhou Yan immediately called his youngest son over and briefly said the previous article.

"Xu's nephew caused trouble in the north, and the good daughter of a good family caused her to commit suicide. The woman happened to be Awan's fiancée."

Zhou Changqing was stunned for a moment, then she remembered Aunt Xu who was locked up in her confinement. She immediately sank her face, "Don't worry, father, my son knows what to do."

When the charge of the son committing the crime was lost, the Xu family's father and son could not escape the law. If someone talked about the in-laws of the Xu and Zhou families, the Zhou family would inevitably be flirting with it. Therefore, we have to deal with Aunt Xu first.

That night, Zhou Changqing asked someone to tie up Aunt Xu and sent it to Zhuangzi.

As long as a concubine is not in the Zhou family, she will not be able to get involved in the Zhou family’s father and son.

Aunt Xu didn't know that she was implicated by her brother and nephew, so she was sent to Zhuangzi. Although she was in prison in the Zhou Mansion, she had at least given birth to three children for Zhou Changqing. Zhou Changqing had never treated her harshly, and at least she had to ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing. But after being sent to Zhuangzi, she had to do rough work! How could she endure such hardship? She was still looking forward to her son growing up and getting fame in the future. Zhou Changqing would let her go out for her son. If her son had a promising future, maybe she could earn an imperial decree for her in the future, and Lin would never be able to compare with her in her life.

How could I know that disaster comes from heaven?

"Why bring me here?" Although the house is quite spacious, it is simple and low, and even the servants in the Zhou Mansion are not as good as those in the Zhou Mansion. Xu is uncomfortable and disgusted. "I am the master's concubine. I have given birth to three children for the Zhou family, so I have made mistakes and punished me. In the past few years, I have been copying scriptures and praying for blessings in the ancestral hall. Why do I still send me to this village?"

"It seems that Aunt Xu doesn't know that your brother and son committed a murder and forced the good daughter to death. Now he is accused, and this official position cannot be done. If he was the one who was instructed by you, it would be fine if your concubine was a concubine, but it would be inappropriate for the young masters and girls to suffer for nothing and delay their future. As a mother, she will make plans for her children for the long term, and I believe that Aunt Xu is willing to sacrifice for the young masters and girls."

Xu widened his eyes and collapsed on the ground. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he rushed over, "No, I don't believe it. My nephew will never force anyone to death..."

Since he went to Qingzhou to work, the brother and sister have not seen each other for more than ten years. The impression of his little nephew was still when he was young. Xu never expected that when he was a child, he was just naughty but intelligent nephews would commit murder. The Xu family was not as good as those families, and killing a few civilians was irrelevant. The elder brother was just a ninth-rank county magistrate, with no power and reliability. He was involved in a murder case and was even a big deal. No matter what, it was impossible to turn a big thing into a small matter.

Brothers are used to being cautious. Even if the nephew really forces the good daughter to death, the brother will be able to clean up. How could he make trouble in the capital?

Xu didn't believe it, or she couldn't believe it. Because once her brother's crime was confirmed, her life would be over...

The old nanny who sent her here shook her head and left without caring about her crying and cursing.

No matter how many Buddhist scriptures you copy, you cannot calmly change your evil and do good. You should have sent it to Zhuangzi and locked up.

Xu was locked up in the village, crying and shouting for help from the five gates, and her brother was also anxious at this moment.

"Rebellious son!"

He glared at his son who was kneeling on the ground with anger, "It was all the trouble you caused. The women in your room are not enough, so he insisted on provoking a restaurant girl. Now, he has been killed and has caused a lot of trouble. You are going to kill your father and me."

Mr. Xu was consciously causing trouble, but he was scolded by his father, and he was unwilling to accept it. He whispered: "How could I know she would seek death? Didn't you say I did nothing? I thought that the hot pot restaurant was so good that if I could get the recipe, I could earn a family business for our family. My aunt was abandoned by the Zhou family, which would not help you. You should be careful and refuse to accept gifts. The salary for a year is only so small. Our family is not large. If I don't think of some solutions, I will spend some time sooner or later..."

"You still have any regard for you?"

Xu's father was so angry that he was glaring at him, and almost kicked him. Mrs. Xu was eager to love her son and hurried to stop him.

"Okay, the matter has happened. What's the use of killing him? I'd better think of a solution first, how to solve this problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant stood in a hurry and said in panic: "Master, Madam, officers and soldiers...there are all officers and soldiers from the government office..."
