Hearing this, everyone at the scene looked at Li Hongyu suspiciously, no one expected him to say such a thing.

"Say, what are you hiding?" Chen Yu's brows couldn't help frowning, and he looked at Li Hongyu quietly, Li Hongyu had never revealed that he had something to hide, and no court official wanted to see the complicated things.

"Lord County, the student got up in the morning because of a bad stomach that night, and heard a noise in the yard next door on the way, and the student was in a hurry to go to the toilet so he didn't care and thought it was a wild cat or something."

Li Hongyu raised his head when he heard this, looked at Chen Yu seriously, and said, "When the students came out of the latrine, there was a cry for help in the courtyard next door, and I knew from the subordinates that someone had broken into Miss Qin Er's boudoir. ”

"The student originally wanted to tell the matter but was worried that he would be implicated, so he buried it in his heart, but on the way to the yamen, the student heard a lot of rumors related to Miss Qin Er, which has damaged Miss Qin Er's reputation.

As he spoke, Li Hongyu touched his head to the ground and pleaded guilty to Chen Yu, "The student is guilty, please punish the county lord!" ”

With a bang, Li Hongyu's voice lagged behind, and there was a commotion at the scene, and the people who were hearing the trial outside the hall began to talk to each other.

Li Hongyu's words undoubtedly maintained Qin Yue's reputation, and it was impossible for Li Hongqing to insult Qin Yue during the time when Li Hongyu went to the toilet.

Of course, people were skeptical of Li Hongyu's remarks, after all, Li Hongyu was a member of the Li family and would definitely protect the interests of the Li family, so he naturally helped Qin Yue speak.

Qin Yue looked at Li Hongyu in shock, she never expected that this coward who was despised by herself would actually speak for herself in the court.

Moreover, Qin Yue felt that Li Hongyu's performance in court was a little unexpected to her, in her opinion, the timid Li Hongyu should be scared and trembling, but Li Hongyu's performance seemed to be calm and did not seem to have any stage fright.

"Knowing your mistakes can improve you!"

The look on Chen Yu's face soothed, he also thought that Li Hongyu was hiding something tricky, and he wanted to excuse Qin Yue after doing it for a long time, so he said after a while, "Since this matter has little to do with the case, for the sake of you being lost, this county will punish you for copying the "Great Message", I hope you can take this as a warning!" ”

In Chen Yu's view, Li Hongyu's move must have been instigated by the Li family, and his purpose was naturally to maintain Qin Yue's reputation, and Qin Yue's reputation would not be greatly impacted if it preserved the reputation of the Li family.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not take Li Hongyu's move to heart, and naturally it was impossible to grasp the matter, as he said before, what Li Hongyu said actually had nothing to do with the facts of the case, and it did not affect the conviction of Li Hongqing and others, so he dealt with it lightly.

"Lord Xie Xianzun, students must take this as a warning and never do it again." Li Hongyu had long known that Chen Yu would downplay the matter, and when he heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He thought that Chen Yu would ask for confirmation of what he said, so he asked Rou'er to help him lie in the wing room just now, but now it seems that Chen Yu doesn't want to make things complicated and is too lazy to waste energy on this, which makes things much easier.

In fact, Li Hongyu was not lying, but he just told the facts of that night, although he did not go to the toilet, but because of Wang Tieniu's staring, Li Hongqing did not take advantage of Qin Yue.

There is only so much Li Hongyu can do for Qin Yue now, and whether the outside world believes it or not is beyond his control.

Originally, he didn't want to make trouble in the court trial, but because of the arrival of the Yang family, Qin Yue was hurt again, so he couldn't help but feel pity for the jade, so he decided to try his best to save Qin Yue's reputation.

Qin Yue bit her lip and looked at Li Hongyu, her expression was very complicated, she never imagined that Li Hongyu would help her in the court trial, whether it was the Li family who asked Li Hongyu to do this, she felt a trace of gratitude in her heart, making her feel that she was not so helpless.

After lunch, Li Hongyu rushed back to Baihe Town with the Li family, and everyone was silent along the way, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

Chen Yu, the case of Li Hongqing and Qin Yue, had already been sentenced at noon, Li Honggan **** failed to be punished with a cane of 100, and he was sent to Liaodong to charge the army, his two accomplices were sentenced to 50 canes and sentenced to 10 years in prison, and the accomplice who retreated from the battle was sentenced to 30 canes and sentenced to two years in prison.

Although the case has been concluded, the haze hanging over the Li family has not dissipated, and the reputation of the Li family is bound to be affected by this case, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

"Yu'er, are you exonerating Miss Qin in court?" Back at the Li family's mansion, Zhao asked in surprise when he saw Li Hongyu, because the Li family's subordinates had brought back the process of the court trial in advance, so Zhao knew about Li Hongyu's unexpected behavior in the court trial.

"Mother, this matter must have started because of the child, the child heard a lot of gossip about Miss Qin Er in the county today, it is really difficult to stand by and watch, otherwise the conscience will be uneasy." Li Hongyu smiled bitterly, with a helpless look on his face.

"That's fine." Zhao Shi bowed slightly when he heard this, thinking that Li Hongyu was reasonable, after all, she was not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, and she didn't want Qin Yue to be seriously hurt in this matter.

"Mother, the child wants to discuss something with you." Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and said to Zhao in a low voice, "The child heard that the soldiers of Liaodong were living in a bitter cold some time ago, and the magistrate wanted to collect money and deliver the money to the soldiers of Liaodong, and the child felt that the defense of Liaodong was an important matter for the country, so he wanted to donate a sum of money, hoping that his mother could support the child." ”

"Liaodong?" Zhao was slightly stunned when she heard this, Liaodong was a distant existence for her, and she didn't know why Li Hongyu suddenly thought of Liaodong soldiers.

"Yu'er, how much do you want to donate?" Then, Zhao nodded and asked, in her opinion, Li Hongyu did not take the money to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but wanted to serve the country, so she naturally wanted to support Li Hongyu.

"Mother, the child wants to make up 10,000 taels!" Li Hongyu did not hesitate at all, and immediately answered.

"Ten thousand taels?" Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes were full of surprise, he never expected Li Hongyu to ask for so much money.

"Mother, in the eyes of children, if you don't do anything, you will be amazing!" Li Hongyu nodded solemnly and explained to the Zhao family, "Ten thousand taels of silver is enough to win the favor of the county magistrate, and it can also make the Liaodong soldiers remember our Li family, why not?" ”

"Yu'er, we only have more than 5,000 taels of silver in our account, which is not enough for 10,000 taels at all." Zhao looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, but she didn't expect Li Hongyu to have such courage, which made her surprised and happy, and then showed a look of embarrassment on her face.

The five thousand taels of silver were not only responsible for the family's expenses, but also to maintain the operation of the store, so in Zhao's opinion, they could not come up with so much money.

"Mother, the child has already thought about it, and is ready to sell the properties under his name, so that he should be able to make up 10,000 taels." Li Hongyu naturally knew that his family didn't have so much money, so he had already thought of countermeasures and said in an orderly manner.

Although the Li family Sanfang has many industries under its name, the income of those industries is in the hands of Li Renhe, and the most important grain business has been losing money year after year, so that there is not much money in the account of the Li family's third room.

"What properties were sold?" Zhao was even more surprised at this time, and looked at Li Hongyu with some disbelief, you must know that those industries are the foundation of Li Hongyu's future life, she desperately wants to protect Li Hongyu, but she didn't expect Li Hongyu to want to sell them so much, won't the family have to cut off the income in the future?

"Mother, those industries are now controlled by the uncle, let's sell them instead of guarding them with fear, so that we can not only lose a lot of money but also save a lot of effort."

Li Hongyu looked at Zhao seriously, "Mother, you can earn it again when the money is gone, but it is difficult to meet it again if the opportunity is gone." Mother rest assured, the child has already thought about it, and our family will run a fabric business in the future, and the child has the confidence to run this business well. ”

"Yu'er, doing business is not as simple as you think, even if we open a fabric store, it is not so easy to sell the goods, there are many doorways here."

Zhao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, thinking that the young and vigorous Li Hongyu thought about doing business too simply, not to mention Jiangkou County, the market in Baihe Town alone had been carved up.

The Li family's three rooms have no foundation in business, and if they enter rashly, they will definitely break their heads, and the three rooms will be scattered at that time.

"Mother, the child will prove that the child can do a good job in the fabric business, and I hope that the mother will agree to the child's request." Li Hongyu knew that 10,000 taels of silver was a big deal, and the Zhao family, who was the actual head of the Li family's third room, must have some concerns, so he said with a smile, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Okay, my mother promised you, if you can do a good job in the fabric business, then my mother will give you enough 10,000 taels of silver even if you smash the pot and sell iron."

Seeing Li Hongyu's look of hesitation, Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, ambition and fighting spirit are always stronger than doing nothing, only in this way can Li Hongyu revitalize the Li family's third room, so she agreed with a smile, she wanted to see if Li Hongyu had any way to do a good job in the fabric business.

Li Hongyu suddenly showed a smug look at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, he was naturally not afraid that the cloth business would not do well, and what made him feel a little excited was that the investment of 10,000 taels of silver would definitely bring immeasurable returns.

Obviously, Li Hongyu will not donate 10,000 taels of silver to the soldiers of Liaodong for no reason, he wants to use this 10,000 taels of silver to win a good reputation and lay a solid foundation for his future career.
