After rebirth, I became a national teacher

A servant stood up and said:

"Master, you don't know that the young mistress did come back, but she probably had an argument with the young master and left again not long after."

"When did he leave? Which direction did he go? Who did he take with him?"

Qin Dafu threw a series of questions at the servant, who was suddenly at a loss as to what to do. Fearing that he might have said something wrong, he looked at Master Qiao involuntarily.

Qin Dafu's sharp gaze also fell on Master Qiao.

Teacher Qiao was not afraid at all, and smiled slightly:

"Father-in-law, Zhenniang left at noon. I don't know where she went, but she didn't bring anyone with her at the time."

Which parent would not worry about the safety of a delicate and beautiful young woman who has always been kept in the boudoir and goes out without anyone by her side?

Qin Dafu clearly felt the malice in these words and smiles.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with the airs of an elder:

"Zhen Niang is just a woman, you want her to leave alone?"

Teacher Qiao looked nonchalant and said in a relaxed tone:

"Mrs. Zhen didn't fulfill her promise, and she is so ashamed that she wants to leave. What can the son-in-law do?"

There is no chance of luck now.

All the information added together clearly showed that everything was just as Qin Dafu had guessed before.

Teacher Qiao tricked Zhenniang back just to force the Qin family to submit!

His heart was burning with anger, but his face remained calm:

"Oh? Then in your opinion, how can we find Zhenniang?"

Teacher Qiao smiled and said:

"If you have completed what you promised, you should come back by yourself."

At this moment, Captain Yang arrived with his men and asked:

"I received a report that someone is missing from the Qiao residence. What happened?"

Qin Dafu stepped forward and said loudly:

"Captain Yang, my daughter was tricked back home by my son-in-law Qiao Shiyou this morning, claiming that there was a fire at home. She is now missing. I have asked around in the area, and a vendor outside saw my daughter and her son-in-law enter the Qiao residence, but didn't see her come out. The Qiao family insists that my daughter left home alone."

"This is really strange!"

"Because my daughter had an argument with her son-in-law the other day, I suspect that she was murdered by the Qiao family. Please send someone to search and interrogate the Qiao family and rescue my daughter!"

Even though he knew that the captain of the police had a good relationship with Qin Dafu, Master Qiao was not afraid at all.

He had been standing at the door of his house without going in, so many neighbors nearby had gathered around to watch the fun.

I only heard him raise his voice righteously:

"I have the title of a juren scholar. Without official permission, if anyone dares to search my house without permission, be careful. I will report you to the government office for trespassing and make you lose your job!"

Laws were also part of the imperial examination. As a juren, even though Qiao Shiyou could not be said to be familiar with the laws of the dynasty, he was a hundred times more familiar with them than the average common people.

Now that he has the honor of being a juren, ordinary constables dare not trespass into his residence under the watchful eyes of the public.

However, he was destined to miscalculate today.

Captain Liu sneered:

"What do you mean by trespassing? Mr. Qiao, please don't say anything nonsense. We have a search warrant!"

As he spoke, he took out the document in his arms, shook it, and showed it to Teacher Qiao.

When Qiao Shiyou took a look, he saw that it actually had the government seal on it, and it clearly stated that the reason for the search was to find a missing person, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Now he could only allow these detectives to go in and search!

This was completely beyond his expectations.

In his original plan, his father-in-law, as a successful businessman, was very familiar with the law and would definitely not give him any evidence of trespassing into a private house at this moment.

Therefore, he was sure that even if the two of them fell out, Qin Dafu would not dare to bring people to break into Qiao's house.

In this way, he could move Zhenniang to another place after nightfall.

But he had never expected that in such a short period of time, his father-in-law had made such complete preparations. He not only called in the constables, but also prepared all the documents!

Teacher Qiao was secretly shocked, but he quickly calmed down.

He dared to break off relations with the Qin family so directly, which meant he had decided to burn his boats and would never give up until he achieved his goal.

Naturally, there is more than one trump card in hand.

Not long after, Zhenniang, who had woken up but was very weak, was found in the cellar by the bailiffs.

Qin Dafu felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter's frail appearance and the marks on her neck.

Unable to contain his anger any longer, he rushed forward to hit Master Qiao, but was stopped by Qiao's servants.

Qiao Shiyou stood behind and shouted:

"Everyone, come and see! What big shot did this wealthy businessman surnamed Qin collude with to be so arrogant that he not only prepared the search warrant in advance, but also beat people in front of the police chief in full view of everyone!"

Which ordinary citizen does not hate the collusion between officials and businessmen to oppress the common people? The eyes of the onlookers looking at Qin Dafu suddenly became extremely unfriendly.

As a smart and educated person, Mr. Qiao is well aware of what a public opinion offensive is.

You are dreaming if you think you can control him like an ordinary citizen!

Qin Dafu gnashed his teeth in anger:

"You said Zhenniang was not at the Qiao residence, but now she was found tied up in the cellar with wounds all over her body. How do you explain that?"

Teacher Qiao smiled contemptuously:

"What's there to explain? The husband is the head of the wife. It's only natural for the husband to discipline his unfilial wife."

The laws of the country clearly stipulate:

"The husband is the head of the wife, and the wife should obey the husband. If the husband beats his wife to the point of breaking her bones, although it is against moral principles, the couple must both agree to divorce."

As long as no one is killed, the government has no right to stop a husband from beating his wife.

In other words, since the day Qin Zhenniang married him, she would never be able to get rid of him unless he beat her to death.

He just didn't believe that the Qin family, who had always loved their daughter, would not surrender when he tortured Qin Zhenniang every other day!
