Chapter 272 Liu Qing is afraid
Liu Qing, who was waiting for the servants to report the progress of the matter at home, finally waited for the third bad news that evening. The servants did not come back, and the officials came. They were not as polite as they used to be together. They took him away without saying a word.
In the county jail, Liu Qing saw his butler and his group. The butler explained the story with a sad face. The man from Chang'an was an unaffected existence. Liu Qing was stunned on the spot. He could not understand that his unknown son-in-law would have something to do with Du Shaoqing, the most popular man in the Tang Dynasty.
After thinking about it, Liu Qing knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. He wanted to ask the prison guard to help him meet the county magistrate, but the prison guard said that the Liu family turned black and white to frame Captain Wang and the county magistrate Xue. The county magistrate was getting angry. You can wait for trial and sentence in this prison.
In the end, Liu Qing sent a huge sum of ten taels of silver to the prison chief and asked him to bring the call to the county magistrate, and he must ask for a meeting.
County Magistrate Xue was dealing with the funeral of Captain Wang. He thought to himself that this guy performed well on weekdays, so why did he die because of his greed for money? Was he confused for a while or had always been greedy for money?
No matter what, Youdao is that the grudges of death have disappeared, and County Magistrate Xue did not pursue too much. He called Captain Wang’s family to explain the reason, and then sent him away. This was a private grudge and was killed, so there was no pension or something.
At first, the Wang family was unwilling to do so, but County Magistrate Xue said that Captain Wang broke into a private house and robbed his son. It was a crime to be considered as a crime. So the Wang family did not dare to get involved anymore and could only take the body home to attend the funeral.
The county magistrate, who had just returned to the study and calmed down for a moment, heard the prison chief report, saying that Liu Qing was asking for a meeting. After thinking about it, County magistrate Xue came to the prison and saw Liu Qing.
The two of them also met each other. County Magistrate Xue said with a cold face: "You Liu Qing, you have to take the lead in the king's head if you do evil? Now, you have to lose your life as a captain, and you have to deceive me to wipe your butt. You are still a local gentry, and you have to do all the bad things by yourself."
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Who is born to be a villain? If it weren't for not having a son and could not pass on the family line, how could I betray my son-in-law and plot against my son-in-law? My Liu family would not have fallen from a famous family to a local laughing stock."
County Magistrate Xue said with some disdain: "So, I still have to sympathize with you? Human destiny is destined to be destined to be destined to be destined to have no offspring.
The matter between you and Xue Li is your private affairs. I can think of it in my past relationship and not interfere with it. Even if you kidnap your grandson, it is your private affairs.
But now that there is a murder case, you have to bear the responsibility for Captain Wang’s death, after all, he was hired by you.”
Nodding, Liu Qing knew the current affairs and did not refute this question. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Civilian Magistrate, can you put it down and go out? Give me two days to send a message to me and ask me to apologize in person within two days. I dare not not go."
Hum? County Magistrate Xue frowned. What does this old guy mean?
"No need, you are sentenced to a murder case. If you are sentenced to a lawsuit, your son-in-law will ask you to accompany you. I'm afraid it would be better to sentence you to make him happy. Please accept your fate." The county magistrate shook his head and refused.
Liu Qing suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Mr. Xue, you and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in the past. I don't have to do this so extreme. Is it worth it for a captain of the king? You won't understand what I mean."
Looking back, County Magistrate Xue stared at Liu Qing's persistent eyes and his mind changed rapidly. Of course, he understood what Liu Qing was thinking, so County Magistrate Xue was weighing the pros and cons.
To be fair, there is indeed no grudge between the two, and there is only the resentment that was almost trapped by Liu Qing this time, but all this is related to Prince Du from Chang'an. As long as Prince Du's anger can be calmed, everything else is easy to say.
The magistrate Xue County knew what Liu Qing meant. After all, Liu Qing was also Xue Li's father-in-law. Now Xue Li has climbed the big tree of Du Prince Concubine. If he really sentenced Liu Qing to prison, it would be very troublesome that Xue Li would come to catch people again and again.
It would be better to give Xue Li a favor and release Liu Qing, and let him deal with Xue Li and Du Fu Majesty.
So after thinking for a moment, County Magistrate Xue asked, "What do you say about Captain Wang's life?"
"I'm going to do something for me. I'll discuss it with their family. I think a hundred taels of silver is enough. The county magistrate is relieved and will not let the family talk any more." Liu Qing promised.
After a moment of silence, County Magistrate Xue nodded and said, "I went there and apologized to Prince Du carefully. I will treat your son-in-law better in the future. Now it is different from the past.
Also, in the future, you'd better be more scrupulous and don't cause trouble for me. Longmen County is not your Liu family's place."
After saying that, the county magistrate turned around and strode away. Not long after, the prison head opened the prison door and signaled that the group of people from the Liu family could leave. Liu Qing was overjoyed and finally escaped the disaster. He ordered the housekeeper to send money to Captain Wang's family for the aftermath. Liu Qing did not dare to delay and rushed to Xue Li's house while it was dark.
At the entrance of the cave, Xue Li looked at the father-in-law and said coldly: "Didn't County Magistrate Xue say that he would arrest you? Why? He is in a slewd manner with you and let you go? You are not welcome here!"
Liu Qing said in a bad mood: "Son-in-law, I'm sorry to you. I have no other intentions, I just came to apologize."
"I can't bear it. I won't do it because of the silver ring. You can leave by yourself!" Xue Rengui looked disdainful.
At this time, Mrs. Liu walked out of the cave and looked at her father with a complicated expression. She hesitated for a moment, reached out and pulled her husband's sleeve, turned to persuade her father Liu Qing, "Dad, go back, as long as you don't mention snatching Shan'er from now on, when Shan'er grows up, my husband and I will take him back to the Liu family to see you."
Liu Qing choked with tears in his eyes and said, "Good boy, I won't mention it anymore. If I don't mention it anymore, my father is also open-minded. No matter what his surname is, Shan'er is my only grandson, Liu Qing. Take Shan'er out and let me see how?"
"It's inconvenient. Shan'er has eaten and slept." Liu shook his head and said.
Liu Qing turned to Xue Rengui and asked, "I heard that Mr. Du from Chang'an is here. Can you recommend me? I want to apologize in person?"
Xue Li mocked: "I'm afraid this is the real reason why you came overnight tonight."
"Whatever you think about it, in short, I am not your father-in-law in your eyes." As he said that, Liu Qing turned to look at his daughter. I think his daughter would not make things difficult for him at this time.
Liu shook his head and said, "Dad, Du Fuma is a big shot. Where can I live in the cave of Xuejiashan? The group of people are now staying at the largest Longmen Inn in the county, and they will only come during the day."
