I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

There were many different opinions, and soon Qiao Linxi was pushed to the forefront.

"Boss Qiao beat someone to death. You must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will never let you go."

The woman sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.

"You came to me carrying your husband's body and said I beat him to death, and you want me to give you an explanation. What explanation do you want?"

Qiao Linxi walked down the stairs and looked down at the woman: "Do you want money or life?"

“I…” The woman looked at the man’s body, slapped her thigh and cried, “Oh my God, open your eyes. This murderer is so arrogant.”

"Haha, I'm arrogant? Tell me, why am I arrogant?"

Qiao Linxi stared at the woman: "You said you wanted an explanation, and I asked you what you wanted to say, but you didn't tell me and just said I was arrogant. I have enough reason to suspect that you are here to cause trouble."

"That's right. You have to say something if you want Boss Qiao to do something. If you just keep crying, how can Boss Qiao know what you need?"

"I think she's here to cause trouble."

The onlookers also began to blame the woman. After looking around, the woman started to cry again: "My husband, you are so cruel. You just closed your eyes and died. How can we, an orphan and a widow, live? What can we eat and use?"

"Oh..." Qiao Linxi's voice was drawn out: "You want money. No problem, how much do you want?"

When the woman heard what Qiao Linxi said, she forgot to cry. She didn't expect Qiao Linxi to be so straightforward. She glanced at a certain place in the crowd and then held up two fingers: "Two, two hundred taels."

The onlookers were in an uproar. This woman actually asked for two hundred taels.

"No problem, but before I give you the money, we have to clear things up."

Qiao Linxi turned around and told the children of the Qiao family to bring out some stools for the onlookers to sit on, and also took out some melon seeds for them to crack.

"What's there to be unclear about? You beat my husband to death. You have to compensate me with two hundred taels of silver. I will let this matter go and I will not report it to the police."

"Well, don't be anxious." Qiao Linxi slowly pulled a chair and sat down, then asked the woman: "You said your husband came to my place to eat noodles, and then went back with injuries all over his body. He died when he woke up today, right?"

The woman said, “That’s right.”

Qiao Linxi asked again: "Did your husband come to my place to eat noodles yesterday at noon?"

The woman nodded: "Yes."

Qiao Linxi laughed: "Your husband came here to eat noodles yesterday, and died today. Can you blame me for this? If all the other people who got into trouble came here to eat noodles, then I am guilty, then I am so wronged."

"You beat him to death."

After a long period of quarreling, Qin Xiaoqing finally came back from outside. Seeing this, he walked through the crowd and came to Qiao Linxi. After listening to what was going on, he understood what had happened.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qiao Linxi speak, "Your husband did come to my restaurant for dinner yesterday, and I did beat him up. That was because he was trying to assault me, so my beating him up was justified self-defense."

"You are talking nonsense. It was you who seduced my husband to your room. I don't know what you argued about, but you did beat my husband. He died after he returned. You must have broken all of my husband's internal organs, so he died."

"Haha," Qiao Linxi laughed again, "I seduced your husband? If your husband didn't have dirty thoughts, why would I hit him?"

"You are just a prostitute, and the people living in your backyard are all your male lovers."

"Don't talk nonsense. There are more than a dozen people living in my backyard. Could they all be my male lovers?" Qiao Linxi pointed to the backyard and said, "Look, there are so many people."

"Besides, your husband was able to run very fast when I beat him yesterday. Everyone around can testify to this. How can a person with a shattered liver run so fast? How could he have survived until this morning?"

"My husband died last night." The woman changed her words again.

At this time, Qin Xiaoqing walked over to the corpse, squatted down, reached out to touch the neck of the corpse, and said: "The body of the deceased is not very stiff, and there is even residual warmth. I conclude that he has been dead for no more than an hour."

As he spoke, Qin Xiaoqing lifted the white cloth again, tore open the dead man's clothes and took a look: "There are many bruises on his body, which seem to be caused by blunt force trauma. Although it looks serious, it is not fatal."

"Her noodles were poisoned. My husband ate them and died this morning from the poison."

Qin Xiaoqing examined the body. After hearing what the woman said, he pressed the abdomen of the body. Then he took out a needle bag from his arms, pulled out a very long silver needle and inserted it into the throat of the deceased. After taking it out, the needle turned black.

"Look, the needle has turned black. It's really poisonous."

Qiao Linxi took a look and said, "What a joke! If my noodles were poisonous, he would have eaten them yesterday. Why did the poison take effect today? And how could it remain in his throat?"

Qin Xiaoqing didn't say anything. He took the needle again and inserted it into the corpse's abdomen. When he pulled it out, the needle did not change color.

He touched the head of the corpse and felt something wet, then he took his hand out and found blood on it.

"He didn't die of poisoning. The fatal wound was on the back of his head. There was a hole there, and some cotton cloth was used to stop the bleeding. The poison in his throat was poured in after he died."

Qin Xiaoqing glanced at the people around him and said, "This man did come to the snack bar yesterday at noon, and he did try to assault Miss Qiao afterwards. I saw it with my own eyes. After being beaten by Miss Qiao, he was still energetic and was still alive and well after running out of the door."

"Yes, we all saw it yesterday. Miss Qiao beat the man out without any clothes on. He even threatened to report to the police. We are all sure that he was alive when he left Qiao's Snack Bar."

"Yes, he was alive yesterday."

"Ah..." Qiao Linxi sighed: "Originally, I didn't want to do anything too extreme, but there are always people who put the blame on me for no reason. Do they bully me because I'm a woman without any backing?"

The people around looked at Qiao Linxi and whispered, "She doesn't have a backer yet?" The county magistrate took good care of her, and if the county magistrate was not a backer, then what was a backer?

"Yesterday, your husband came to my place to eat noodles. After eating, he went to the backyard to try to assault me. He took off his clothes and dropped this thing."

Qiao Linxi took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Xiaoqing: "Mr. Qin, you know more characters than I do. Please read it."

Qin Xiaoqing opened the letter, took a look at the contents, his ears turned red, and he was reluctant to read.

"Read it, what does it say in this letter?"
