Chapter 31: Dare to speak

Mo Qingling frowned.

Judging by Doctor Shi’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like he was lying.

He turned to look at Shi Qingluo and asked, “Has your husband had any feud with anyone recently?”

Shi Qingluo replied without hesitation: “There is no enmity, but just half a month ago, my husband’s general father brought his doted concubine. To make this concubine a regular wife, he wanted to demote his wife to a concubine.”

“The mother-in-law disagreed, so the two parted ways.”

“Then my father-in-law wants to let my husband leave his mother. Regardless of the younger siblings, my father-in-law sever their father and son relationship and separated from the family because my husband disagrees.”

“That concubine framed my mother-in-law before and asked my father-in-law to demote his wife into a concubine. She wanted to become a regular wife herself, which made my mother-in-law unable to accept it and divorced. My mother-in-law felt even more uncomfortable for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.”

“Among the people my husband and I know in Nanxi County, the only one who can buy Doctor Shi for 300 taels of silver is that concubine.”

Although, that woman must have tampered with the evidence, and it would be difficult to find her fault.

But it doesn’t prevent Shi Qingluo from being disgusted by that woman and the scumbag father.

Today’s matter and what she said will be recorded in the master book, so when they meet those two people in the future, they can look through these old accounts.

Mo Qingling was surprised, “Which general is your father-in-law?”

He already guessed in his mind. There was only one general surnamed Xiao in the court. He heard that his wife was ten years younger.”

Shi Qinlou replied: “General Xiao Yuanshi.”

Mo Qingling realized that it was Xiao Yuanshi.

It was just that he didn’t expect Xiao Yuanshi, who seemed to have a bold temper and acted uprightly, to turn out to be a bastard who wanted to demote his wife into a concubine behind everyone’s back.

The most important point was for a woman, he cut off their children and separated their families. This was too stupid.

As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes was that concubine, he thought the possibility was very high.

After all, he has personally experienced the insidious and vicious means of dealing with women in the back room.

Of course, these things have to be investigated, and no conclusions can be made.

After all, what this little lady said may not necessarily be true.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Mo Qingling ordered the Yamen guard: “Put Doctor Shi and his disciples in prison first, and then give the sentence after I have found out all the crimes.”

“Yes, my lord!” The Yamen guard dragged the two of them down.

Mo Qingling looked at Shi Qingluo again and said: “I will investigate what you said, and try my best to find out who is the mastermind behind Doctor Shi in murdering your husband. I will send someone to your house to report the results.”

Shi Qinglou smiled and saluted again: “Thank you, sir.”

Seeing this person’s expression, he knew the scumbag father, and she concluded that the identity of the county magistrate must not be simple.

Even if no evidence could convict the woman who harmed Xiao Hanzheng, the disgusting things done by that scumbag father can certainly be found.

Maybe through this county magistrate, those things can be spread to the capital, and let everyone see the true face of the scumbag father.

At the same time, it can also put some pressure on the scumbag father and that woman. Before doing bad things, they should think about it more. If something happened to Xiao Hanzheng again, do they think they can get rid of their relationship?

However, this was an era of the supremacy of imperial power, and there was a big gap between the powerful and the common people.

That scumbag father was a great general, while Xiao Hanzheng was only a scholar.

If they don’t make a fuss, she was that the scumbag father will be ruthless and unite with that woman, and directly kill Xiao Hanzheng again, or find a way to prevent him from climbing up.

But now that there will be a written record, it would be impossible for the scumbag father to work with that woman as freely as before.

After coming out of the hall, Shi Qingluo helped Mrs. Kong who was a little limp to leave the Yamen.

This story also began to spread through people who joined in the fun.

Not only did the evil deeds of Doctor Shi spread, but also the gossip that the general of the country doted on his concubine. He wanted to demote his wife to be a concubine for the sake of his concubine, and in the end, divorced her directly. The general even took the initiative to cut ties with his children and separated them from their families.

The latter case was more exciting, so it satisfied more people who like to gossip about the rich and powerful, so it spreads faster.

After Mrs. Kong walked for a while, she felt that her body was not so soft.

“Qinglou, you are amazing.”

What her daughter-in-law did today was linked together. Not only she sent Doctor Shi to prison but also led to that pair of scumbags and sluts.

The main point was in front of the county magistrate, her daughter-in-law looked and talked calmly. She couldn’t help but admires it.

If it was her, she will be very nervous to speak in front of the magistrate.

Shi Qingluo supported her and said, “Mother, you can do it, as long as you dare to take the first step.”

“That Scumbag father and that bitch treated you, Hanzheng, Baili, and Hanyi like that. So if you have a chance in the future, you must give them some color.”

“It’s best for one person to shake their mouths a few times before letting their reputation be ruined.”

In her words, first hit the head of the scumbag, and then beat the bitch to death.

At the same time, make the two of them feel ashamed in the capital.

Today, she didn’t talk about the messy relationship between that woman and the scumbag father. First, there was no evidence. Secondly, Xiao Hanzheng can clean them up when he went to the capital in the future.

After all, the status and strength of the enemy were very different. Also, it would be better not to force the opponent to jump over the wall.

Mrs. Kong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I want to slap the two of them.”

But it doesn’t feel real!

Shi Qingluo said firmly: “Mother, don’t worry, there will be a chance. Even if there is no chance, Xiao Hanzheng and I will create opportunities for you.”

Mrs. Kong pursed her lips and took a deep breath, “Okay, if there is a chance, I will try.”

She will try her best to change herself so as not to disappoint her daughter-in-law and son.

Shi Qingluo patted her hand gently to encourage her: “That’s right, anyway, there are us behind you, so don’t be afraid.”

Mrs. Kong nodded: “Well, I’m not afraid.”

The ones who do evil things and have a guilty conscience were that couple.

Next, Shi Qingluo accompanied Mrs. Kong to the embroidery workshop to sell her purse and then went to the bookstore to exchange the books that Xiao Hanzheng copied before.

The bookstore also sells paper, pens, ink, and inkstones. Shi Qingluo helped Xiao Hanzheng buy some paper.

She looked at the poor-quality paper and felt that it was very expensive.

The better ones cost a few hundred copper coins, some were even worth more than one tael of silver.

No wonder that in ancient times, it was difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. Just buying paper cost a lot of money, and the poor family could not afford it.

Shi Qingluo thought for a while and asked the little servant: “Do you have toilet paper here?”

When she came here, the most painful thing was not poverty, but going to the bathroom.

Now, after going to the toilet, she doesn’t use toilet paper, but toilet chips, which were smoothed wooden strips or bamboo stripes. She was going crazy. She can’t stand it.

The little servant was a little confused, “What kind of paper are you looking for?”

Shi Qingluo let out a dry cough, “Paper for toilet use.”

The little servant: “… …”

This woman dares to speak.

“I’ve never heard of such a paper. Paper is so expensive, how can it be used for toilet?”

This time, it was Shi Qingluo’s turn to be stunned: “… …”

This was to force her to make paper, she really can’t stand it.

She has never made paper, and she doesn’t know the specific process.

But she has the “Traveling Book” produced by her cousin, which contains the detailed production process of several kinds of paper.

After returning to the village, she will talk to Xiao Hanzheng to try it.

If it can be made, it will not only solve the problem of going to the toilet, but Xiao Hanzheng will no longer need to buy paper in the future.

After coming out of the bookstore, Shi Qingluo dragged a little servant to stroll around several main streets in the county. She was looking for good business opportunities.

After walking on the road, suddenly there were two people dressed as servants talking nearby.

One of them said with a worried face: “The young master’s favorite flower is about to die. He asked me to find a gardener that can save it. Where can I find such a person?”
