I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Li Yuan slightly smiled, instructed: “Erlang, this year your Du family worships the ancestors, but you are old, I am afraid that there is no one in the Du family. You are the only one in the house.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “When you are in the old age, naturally there is only one minister. After all, whether it is Uncle Du Chuke or Du Yan, they have their own affairs, and each family manages their own affairs.”

Li Yuan said: “Since this is the new year, you enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with my family. When the time comes to watch the new year, you will return to the Du family to watch the new year, how about?”

Du Qi quickly got up to thank him, and said, “His Majesty Ron, the minister is grateful.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: “Okay, that’s it.”

While Du Qi and Li Yuan were chatting, an old man in ragged clothes came to the courtyard. He saw Du Qi wearing Jin Yi Chinese clothes, especially Du Qi was not very old, and he immediately judged Du Qi’s identity.

The people of Zhang Jingping roughly talked about Du Qi’s situation.

The old man knelt on the ground with a plop and said: “Du Noble Son, please be kind and ask for justice for the little girl!”

When talking, the old man burst into tears. Full of face.

The old man’s daughter is extremely filial. It is extremely difficult to support the family, but now, she is dead unclearly, and she is falsely accused of taking away the money and fleeing. The old man will never believe it. .

Du Qi said: “Don’t cry, control your emotions. I ask you, what is your name, what are your grievances, and tell me. If you can help, I will do my best “

The old man nodded in a hurry. He lifted up his dirty clothes, wiped his tears, and quickly said: “Du Noble Son, a little old man named Peng Qingshui, with a son and a daughter under his knees. When the son fought in the early years, he had already died on the battlefield, leaving only one youngest daughter to depend on each other.”

“The youngest daughter of the little old man is named Peng Xiu’er.”

“Xiu’er, Missy, is fifteen or sixteen years old. Although she is not very old, she is very smart and considerate, very family-conscious. When she was seven or eight years old, she had already started doing housework and was able to cook.”

“Slightly older, when I was a teenager, I could sew up, and wash clothes for people to subsidize the family.”

“In the past two years, the old wife was seriously ill.”

“Especially his son died on the battlefield, and his family collapsed. The little old man had a bad body and could not make much money. So Missy decided on his own and came to Cháng’ān to replace him. She sews, repairs and washes her clothes as a maid, earning money to treat her old wife’s illness.”

“A few days ago, Xiu’er said that she met a General army and recruited maids from the house. The treatment was excellent. . After all, Xiu’er is good-looking and smart, so she went.”

At this point, Peng Qingshui’s face was full of pain. The teardrops that had dried up became crystal clear again, and the big teardrops fell uncontrollably.

Peng Qingshui tried to speak several times, but it was difficult to speak because of choking.

In this scene, those who saw it were sad.

Extremely sad.

Li Yuan is a man in his early sixties. Depending on how old he is, he is even younger than Peng Qingshui. But Li Yuan knew very well that Peng Qingshui in front of him was an ordinary person after all.

Being so old is due to overwork, at most in his early forties.

Li Yuan sighed in his heart when he saw this scene, but he was also curious about what happened and said: “Peng Qingshui, take your time to say, what’s going on with your daughter.”

Peng Qingshui said: “It’s dead, it must be dead.”

Li Yuan said: “It was killed by the General army you mentioned?”

“Yes , It must be like this.”

Peng Qingshui nodded confidently and said: “The situation at that time was Missy in Xiu’er, who had not returned home for half a month. Originally, Xiu’er was a few days later. I always have to go home. I have to see her mother. But there has been no news, it seems to have disappeared.”

“When Xiu’er comes home, I always talk about the situation at home, so I then went to the General Army’s mansion.”

“Yes, yes, yes, the man’s name was Zhang Qucheng, and he said he was a General Army.”

“At that time, the little old man asked. “

Peng Qingshui said: “I don’t know, the people in the General Military Mansion said that Xiu’er stole the money from the mansion and fled with the money, and then beat me out. My family Xiu’er, since childhood He is extremely clever, sensible and observant, impossible to steal money.”

Li Yuan said: “You have no evidence to prove that your daughter didn’t steal anything?”

“Ipossible !”

Peng Qingshui spoke very confidently, gritted his teeth and said: “Xiu’er, Missy, kind-hearted, how could he steal things. Even more how, why didn’t he go home? She stole money. Going to the city to do things is to save her mother. Now how can someone suddenly news, but regardless of her mother’s life or death, escape alone? Zhang Qucheng must have killed Xiu’er, he killed Xiu’er.”

He has gnashing teeth.

He was full of resentment.

Li Yuan actually sympathizes with Peng Qingshui. The reason is simple. He has a son and a daughter on his knees. His son died on the battlefield. Now his daughter has no news, and his family is completely destroyed.

Li Yuan kept calm and asked: “You said Zhang Qucheng killed your daughter, what evidence is there?”

Peng Qingshui said: “I am around Zhang Family , I have carefully inquired about Zhang Qucheng. That Qucheng is a villain! He often takes people to the house under the guise of beckoning maidservants and kills them directly after having fun. This is the news I asked. Pity me. Xiu’er, I died at a young age, and I was wronged to die!”

Speaking of which, Peng Qingshui looked towards Du Qi, kowtow to peng peng, and said, “Du Noble Son, you are Great kind person, you help the little old man. My Xiuer, I have to see people die, then must see the corpse. I can’t disappear without knowing it.”

“My Xiuer, I must not escape. If my family’s Xiu’er takes away the money, why would Zhang Qucheng be silent? He is a guilty conscience!”

“Du Noble Son, the behavior of my family’s Xiu’er is known to everyone around us. In our Peng Family Village Everyone around me knows Xiu’er, she is really obedient and sensible.”

“She can’t die in vain!”

Peng Qingshui’s words are from the heart.

Because this is true.

Zhang Jingping took Peng Qingshui and protected Peng Qingshui, but Zhang Jingping did not confide any news, but told Peng Qingshui that Du Qi is a good person and can call the shots for him and seek justice for him.

That’s it.

Everything about Peng Qingshui is real.

This is precisely what makes Li Yuan believe it.

After Du Qi listened, he said: “Peng Qingshui, I have heard your grievances. If someone owes you money or steals something from you, I can handle it and can help You solve it.”

“At the moment, you are related to the Imperial Court commander, and it is a homicide case, so I can’t come forward with this matter. But don’t worry, Cháng’ān County Magistrate Du Chuke, that’s me Uncle of him.”

“He is a man who can uphold justice for you.”

Du Qi said: “I’ll send you to the Cháng’ān county office, you Tell Du County Magistrate about your grievances and ask him to do justice to him. What do you think?”

“No, no, no!”

Peng Qingshui shook the head, he kept knocking his head on the ground and said: “Du Noble Son, please. Du Noble Son is a great literary man, Du Noble Son, you killed Turkic and wrote an article, it is the reincarnation of Civil Official Talent Wu Quxing, you help Little old man.”

“Please.”

Peng Qingshui’s head knocked on the ground.

This time was done with great effort. His head hit the ground, and it immediately shattered his skin. The red blood flowed out, making Peng Qingshui’s face even more miserable.

However, Peng Qingshui did not say any pain. Even when he looked up towards Du Qi, the teardrops in his eyes continued to flow down like rain. The eager look in the eyes made people very sympathetic.
