Chapter 249: [The Chen Family is in Trouble]
"What's wrong?"
Li Chengqian grabbed Xiao Chen, covered her face, and asked with concern.
The little girl's eyes were red from crying, swollen like a goldfish eye, and it was heart-wrenching to watch.
As soon as Li Chengqian came from Wude Palace, he bumped into Xiao Chen, but the little girl avoided him a little, so Li Chengqian noticed that something was wrong, grabbed her and asked.
When he asked, he thought about it, it couldn't be wronged, right?
What grievances can be suffered in the East Palace, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of Su Mi. Because of the last time Su Mi and Li Chengqian had a cold war, there were indications that Xiao Chen went to tell the queen the secret. After that, when Xiao Chen wanted to take Li Chengqian to some uninhabited place to hug her and touch her in his spare time, Su Mi would appear mysteriously, and then interrupt the little girl's short happy time.
Now that I see Xiao Chen crying, it won't be Su Mi's autumn reckoning, right?
And yesterday, Xiao quietly told himself that the two of them found that Xiao Chen and Sister Hippo had signs of sneaking outside the door of Li Chengqian's room at night. For this reason, Li Chengqian secretly went to check all the windows outside the door this morning, and found a cut hole in a corner, which was only afraid of some time. When he saw the hole, he almost laughed, he didn't dare to tell Su Mi, he just made a trick on the hole to give Xiao Chen a warning.
And Xiaodu came to tell himself, so there is no reason not to tell Su Mi!
So Su Mi added new hatred to old hatred and found Xiao Chen!
"What's the matter, don't cry, did Xiao Mushroom scold you and beat you?" Li Chengqian asked.
Xiao Chen shook his head with teary eyes.
Li Chengqian didn't believe it: "You made a small report to the queen, and you followed the eldest sister of the hippo to peek for more than half a month, why didn't she beat you?" ”
The tears in Xiao Chen's eyes were suddenly stunned, and he was so frightened by the two materials that Li Chengqian burst out that he even forgot his sadness, and then his face turned red, and he threw himself into Li Chengqian's arms.
Li Chengqian caught the little girl, and when she saw Su Mi coming out of the attic, she looked at the pavilion and smiled.
Ah, the eldest wife is here!
Li Chengqian smiled at her embarrassedly, indicating that he would soon let go of the little girl.
But Su Mi gestured and said, "Comfort her." ”
Then she smiled softly and went inside.
"Uh......" Could it be that she felt guilty after beating and scolding Xiao Chen, so make amends now?
Li Chengqian looked down, Xiao Chen still drilled hard into Li Chengqian's chest, he touched her hair pitifully, and said, "Come out, where is the beating, I'll take a look!" ”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Your Highness, it's not these two things you said. It's the concubine's family that has something going on, so the concubine is sad! ”
"What's wrong with your family?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and moved Xiao Chen's face out of his arms.
She is now her little wife, so isn't her family her own father-in-law's house? Although in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, or in Xiao Chen's heart, she is a concubine, her status is very low, and her mother's family is not Li Chengqian's father-in-law, but Li Chengqian's morality does not think so. If you marry someone else's daughter, you have to recognize the other party as your father-in-law.
As soon as he talked about his family, Xiao Chen's emotions returned to the sadness before he was shy just now, and the tears that had been suspended began to pour out again.
Li Chengqian wiped her tears and asked with concern: "Don't cry, tell me what's wrong with your family?" ”
"Just now my family wrote a letter saying that the concubine's brother was arrested and put in prison by the government!" Xiao Chen said.
As soon as he heard this, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
If there is bad news in the family, or if it is irreparable by manpower, then Li Chengqian can only comfort Xiao Chen with pale words, and even do some overtime things to her in order to settle her.
But hearing that he was arrested by the government, Li Chengqian was not afraid. Don't look at who we are, the prince, the prince is the son of power, and it is not easy for the government to let his wife and uncle go!
"Then tell me, where is your home, and why did the government arrest your brother-in-law? Could it be that the local government oppresses the people? Li Chengqian helped Xiao Chen to walk towards the pavilion and asked.
"It's not." Xiao Chen shook his head, did not take the opportunity to look like a black government, and then told him the reason why his brother-in-law was arrested.
It turned out that Xiao Chen's mother's family was in business, and after Chen's father was old, Boss Chen became the pillar of the family and presided over the outside business. This time I was sued, that is, I was sued in business.
The person who sued him was his former business partner, and the reason to sue him was magical, to sue him: profiteers.
What is a profiteer law?
Here's what it says: The Chen family is in the medicinal herb business, and last summer, there was a place where many people had the same disease, and Boss Chen's medicine village happened to make a lot of money there. When a friend of his saw it, he discussed with Boss Chen and asked him to take a batch of medicinal herbs and sell them there. And this friend has no money in hand, and he has a restaurant that is losing money, and Boss Chen ordered this restaurant at a suitable price, and then exchanged the money for medicinal herbs for this friend. This friend took the herbs and went to the place where the disease occurred, but the disease there had been going on for a while, and all the people who had died of the disease had died, and those who could be cured were cured, so when the herbs were there, they were useless.
Even if this medicinal material can't be sold and can't make disaster money, the medicinal material is still there, and it can be sold slowly to earn back the capital. But when the friend sent the medicinal herbs back to Boss Chen, Boss Chen refused to return them, because he said that the medicinal herbs had been rained and had deteriorated.
The friend did not admit that the medicinal herbs had been drenched in the rain, but thought that Boss Chen was a profiteer and defrauded him of his money. First deceived him that the medicinal materials were easy to sell, and then deceived his restaurant with a low price, and after the medicinal materials wholesaled to him at a high price arrived at the place, he found that the retail price was cheaper than the wholesale price, and he returned the product but found an excuse and did not dare to return it to the restaurant.
Therefore, Boss Chen was arrested for the crime of defrauding people of money and harming people's lives, and was arrested and put in prison!
"Where did you come from?" Li Chengqian was puzzled, the previous crime was still inexplicable, and now there is another one more life.
Isn't this a homicide?
"The letter said that the old father of the Xiao family was angry after being sold in the restaurant, and now it is all on the concubine's brother." Xiao Chen wiped his tears and said angrily.
Li Chengqian wiped her tears, and then shook her hand, which was all wet with her tears, and tears flew out of her hands as soon as she shook it. It's true that women are made of water.
"Don't cry, this case is obviously an unjust case, since the brother-in-law does his duty in business, then he is not afraid of the other party's nonsense. The local official was only afraid that he had accepted a bribe from the Xiao family and arrested his brother-in-law, don't be afraid, we will go to your house tomorrow to have a look! Li Chengqian comforted.
