The officer stepped in front of Su Qing and kicked Tian Er far away.
"Arrest him." The leading officer gave the order, and two soldiers immediately detained Tian Er.
"Guan...Guan Ye, why are you arresting me? I...I am a good citizen." Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. When Tian Er saw an official, he immediately gave in. He even started to stutter when he spoke and his body was shaking.
It's like a sieve.
"Although I am a rough man, I am not blind." The official had thick eyebrows, dark skin, and was wearing a government uniform. He was said to be quite imposing. But there was a sense of honesty in his words, "I
I clearly saw you bullying the little girl."
"Master, you misunderstood, this is my niece and I am talking to her." Tian Er said in a flattering manner, his eyes as sincere as he wanted, for fear that the official would misunderstand him.
"Qingqing, are you right?" Tian Er said to Su Qing with a smile. When this damn girl responded, my face froze with laughter.
The official squatted down and looked at the skinny little girl in front of him. He unconsciously thought of his daughter who died in infancy. If his daughter was still alive, she would probably be this old.
He suppressed the grief in his heart and gently coaxed Su Qing, "Little baby, tell Uncle Wang Liu, is he right?"
"Yes... that's right, but I heard someone said that my uncle wants to sell me to a brothel." Su Qing lowered her head and said timidly, "Uncle, where is the brothel? Are there any good food or fun places?"
Can you keep my brother and I from freezing?"
She raised her face and looked at Wang Liu eagerly, with hope in her eyes. It seemed that as long as he said a positive answer, she could happily take her brother to that place.
Upon hearing this, Tian Eryi hurriedly said, "Guan...Guan, please don't listen to this girl's nonsense. She just stabbed me with a knife."
He struggled to break free from the restraints of the officers and soldiers behind him. The laws of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulated that children were not allowed to be sold into prostitution. Once investigated, it was a death penalty.
He's still so young and he doesn't want to die, so it's all this stinky girl's fault.
"Be good, you're a girl and you can't go to that kind of place." Wang Liu coaxed her and touched her hair, which was as yellow as withered grass.
"Oh, okay then." Su Qing lowered his head again, and his originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed, but only for a moment. "It's okay if you can't go, I can still take care of my brother."
Wang Liu looked at the dying little man and suddenly became full of fighting spirit. He sighed, What a sin for such a sensible child. Tian Er also did it to him. He was so inhuman, just like a ten-year-old.
The little kid stabbed him with a knife? Who would believe it?
Wang Liu glanced at Tian Er and looked at Tian Er's eyes. Tian Er knew that he was really in trouble this time. In the past, he had done some sneaky things, and the worst he could do if he was caught was a beating.
Now he is unwilling to give in. He can't die! He hasn't married yet, and it's all because of this little bitch. "Su Qing, please make it clear quickly, I don't have it, I don't have it."
Tian Er struggled harder and harder, roaring, staring at Su Qing with red eyes, wishing he could eat her alive right away.
"Uncle, I'm afraid." Su Qing trembled and hid behind Wang Liu, her red eyes filled with tears, but she resisted crying.
Wang Liu looked at Su Qing's strong and forbearing look, and felt a little more pity in his heart unconsciously. It would be great if this was his child.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting my son?" An old woman suddenly burst into the yard and slapped the official desperately.
"What kind of world is this? Officials are arresting people randomly." The two soldiers didn't know what to do when faced with this unreasonable old woman. Look at me and I'll look at you.
"Boss, this..." A soldier was being pulled by Mrs. Tian Li and was at a loss. He wanted to push but was afraid of her poor health, so he pushed her out anyway. The old woman was quite heavy even if she didn't push.
It made me feel uncomfortable not to push myself, and I was caught in a dilemma for a while.
"Mom, please help me quickly, I don't want to die yet." Tian Er also started to howl, with runny nose and tears. He cried so pitifully that those who didn't know really thought it was Mr. Chai who was grabbing him randomly.
people.
"My son, what's wrong with me? My granddaughter is helping outsiders to bully me, an old woman. Su Qing, you have no conscience."
Mrs. Tian Li sat on the ground and cried, her voice so loud that it could be heard from far away. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and secretly watched the official's reaction.
"Grandma, you get up first, the ground is cold." Su Qing hid behind Wang Liu and looked at her timidly. The fear, fear, struggle, and reluctance in her eyes were clearly visible to everyone present, but she still walked over.
He helped her, but pinched Ms. Tian Li hard where no one could see her.
This Mrs. Tian Li always worked hard with the original owner, and many of the scars on her body are inseparable from this Mrs. Tian Li.
"Ah——, why are you pinching me with your little hooves?" Tian Li shook her away, and Su Qing stumbled and fell hard.
"Grandma, I know you don't like me, but you are still my grandma no matter what. I want you to be well, so why would I pinch you?" Su Qing's eyes were red and she said twitchingly.
.
Her butt hurt from the somersault just now, which made her cry, but it was just right, as it saved her from pinching herself for a few tears.
Aunt Zhang couldn't bear to see Su Qing like this, "I said Aunt Tian, you are too ungrateful. Everyone knows what you usually do to Su Yatou. Even now, she still misses you."
She is your granddaughter after all."
Su Qing, the Aunt Zhang who spoke, knew that Aunt Zhang lived next door to them.
Usually, when the three children's clothes are torn, they will help mend them, and they will also send some old clothes from time to time. Although they are old clothes, it is undoubtedly a timely help for the three Su Qing siblings.
One time Aunt Zhang saw Tian Li beating Su Qing and wanted to stop her, but Tian Li wanted to discipline her granddaughter, so Aunt Zhang had no choice but to give her some good wound medicine as much as possible.
Before I got married, I was often criticized by my grandmother.
When she saw Su Qing, it was as if she had seen her old self, and it was inevitable that she would feel compassion.
"My lord, you don't know. In the past, Mrs. Tian forcibly sold the Su family's house, and later she forced Su Qing's mother to death, and now she often beats Su Qing." Aunt Liu from the village said, and Aunt Liu was the worst.
She knows all the trivial things about someone's gossip.
"You long-tongued woman, are you bothered by me worrying about my own family affairs? You want your bad mouth to make irresponsible remarks here." When Mrs. Tian Li saw someone talking about her, she didn't complain and actually raised her voice from the ground.
He jumped up and pointed at Aunt Liu's nose and scolded her.
Mrs. Tian Li looked at Aunt Liu up and down with her slanted eyes, as if she were looking at an animal. Her chin was raised high, so she only used her nostrils to look at people. She looked aloof and condescending, which was unreasonable.
Dislike her.
Aunt Liu was not a vegetarian and she immediately reported more dirty information to her, "Don't think that just because you have a relationship with the old widower from the east of the village, you can get high. Do you think I don't know about Aunt Tian? Don't
Make me angry, otherwise I will tell you everything you have done."
When Mrs. Tian Li heard this, she shut up angrily and muttered, "Tsk, no one is cleaner than the other."
The old widower in the east of the village is about the same age as Tian Li, in his fifties. He still has some money, but he is not from the West Village. He has no guy.
Few people know about the old widower, but the original owner overheard it when Tian Li complained to Tian Er.
Su Qing looked at the expressions of the two people, and the mystery in her heart became bigger and bigger. Is there another hidden reason for Mrs. Tian's death?
"Take this person away." Wang Liu ordered. He walked at the front of the officials, preparing to take Tian Er back.
"Mother, mother, save me." Tian Er cried.
"No, you can't take away my son." Mrs. Tian Li pulled the official.
"If you disturb the official's handling of the case again, I will arrest you too." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tian Li also arrested her, and she froze in place.
Watching Tian Er being taken away, she glared at Su Qing bitterly and ran away in panic.
She had obviously given this girl medicine, but she wasn't dead yet. She was really a troublemaker, causing trouble to her son.
