When Dong Jue came in, his face was very haggard, obviously he had been busy these few days.

Knowing why Dong Jue worked so hard, Wang Qi was really not worth it for this friend.

Because her parents died young and she has no brothers and sisters, plus she has a eccentric grandmother and a wicked uncle and cousin, Wang Qi has basically never enjoyed much family affection and is very indifferent to family values.What's more, in his previous life, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the inconsistency of the world, and he likes to be wise and protect himself the most.If she meets a friend worth making, Wang Qi may lend a helping hand according to her own situation.But for Chen Xiu, a scum with extremely bad character, even if there is a connection, Wang Qi is not willing to rescue him.There is no other reason, no need!

Therefore, Wang Qi did not agree with Dong Jue's meddling with his sister's family.As far as the bad things Chen Xiu did, it was a blessing in misfortune that the Dong family was not affected.What's more, Chen Xiu is a selfish bastard, he has no heart of gratitude at all, even if he is saved, it is just raising an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.According to Wang Qi's opinion, it would be better for him to go directly to the prison to suffer some hardships, and the Dong family will also have one less burden, so why not do it?It's a pity that Dong Jue is just stubborn.

"Brother Wu Shuang, come and sit down." Wang Qi signaled Dong Jue to sit beside her, and poured tea for him herself.

"The Hu Cai who plotted against you has already been sentenced." Dong Jue didn't drink tea, but said in a dejected manner: "I heard that he was sent to serve as an army and went to the southwestern border to do hard labor. His son also served as an army. His daughter became a member of Yue, and all his family property was confiscated. Even his high official cousin was dismissed from office, and he is still locked up in the sky prison in central Beijing. Hu has ended up like this, even though he has everything wrong, Brother Qiongju can also calm down."

Listening to Dong Jue's words, it seemed that Hu Cai's fate was not his own fault, but Wang Qi's own fault.

Wang Qi felt displeased, and couldn't help saying: "Hu Cai himself did something wrong, and he is no different from others. Brother Wu Shuang wouldn't think that I have such a great ability to bring down him and the big officials behind him. This is too flattering to me. gone."

"You don't have this ability, but your third uncle is the one who investigates this case. He must have this ability." Dong Jue was also a little emotional.

Wang Qi laughed angrily, "Brother Wushuang knows the relationship between me and the Wang family better than anyone else. If my third uncle cared about me, he wouldn't have ordered me to close the shop in the capital. At the time of the boundary, my third uncle had already abandoned me. In the past few days, I also sent people to the county to inquire. I heard that my third uncle didn't even see the people sent by the Wang Li family, let alone me! Besides, What Hu Cai did to me is unbearable to any man. If it spreads out, it will only make people laugh. Brother Wushuang thinks that I have the nerve to publicize it, and even sends ready-made jokes to my third uncle and Wang Long. ?"

"Okay, even if you didn't get involved in the matter of Hu Cai, what about my brother-in-law?" Dong Jue said shyly, "It's true that he is greedy for profit, and it's wrong to sell apples that are about to rot to others, but those fruits are few in number after all. And my brother-in-law also ordered that the good fruits must be mixed into the box, so that there are at most a few bad ones in each box. Besides, it is normal to have a few bad fruits in one box. Check it out, it’s no big deal .”

Surprised by Dong Jue's words, Wang Qi looked at him in disbelief and thought, "Those are soldiers who fought bloody battles at the border. In order to defend their home and country, they don't know how much blood they have shed and how much they have suffered." Hurt, how can you say that? Is this Dong Jue who donated with him at the beginning of the war?"

"Since it's no big deal, why did Chen Xiu end up in such a situation, and why did brother Dong Jue bother to plead for him?" Wang Qi sarcastically said, "Wouldn't it be better to just go to the yamen to complain?"

"Yes, I understand that it is wrong for my brother-in-law to do this, and I also look down on him. What I mean is that although he is at fault, he is not guilty of that." Dong Jue also knew that what he just said was inappropriate , quickly distinguishing: "My brother-in-law is now in prison, we are willing to pay money, even if the Chen and Dong families go bankrupt, we will not hesitate. I just ask Brother Qiongju to show your respect and let my brother-in-law live."

Seeing that Dong Jue still believed that he was the one who grabbed Chen Xiu, Wang Qi also had a cold face, "Brother Wushuang, what are you talking about? Chen Xiu did it himself, and I didn't catch him. I hold my hand high?"

"Brother Qiongju, I didn't want to make my words so clear, why do you pretend to be confused?" Dong Jue said angrily, "I visited my brother-in-law in prison, and I've heard what he said. He asked his subordinates to separate the broken fruits, but the people below still packed the fruits together without telling him. Not only that, but some people painted red paint on those fruit boxes. When the fruits were transported to the county, there would be The officials opened the box and checked it, and they picked the box with red paint. If you say no one has done anything about it, even a dog won’t believe it.”

Seeing that Dong Jue had clearly pointed the finger at him, accusing him of framing Chen Xiu, Wang Qi was also very angry, "Brother Wushuang, I told you a long time ago that Chen Xiu's matter has nothing to do with me. I don't like it." He has so many people, and there are countless fruit merchants who are envious of his business, why are you holding on to me?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law has such a bad reputation that the locals are unwilling to do business with him. But the family scandal must not be publicized. Only my elder brother and I know about the bad things he did. Even my parents don't believe it. My brother-in-law I only mentioned to you the specific details of using bad fruit to pretend to be good fruit to deceive my friend. Later, my elder brother introduced this business to him, and I knew that he might repeat the same trick. It’s only you.” Dong Jue said with great annoyance: “I really regret it, why couldn’t I think about it at the time, and told you these things.”

It is true that people sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven.Wang Qi was almost laughed out of anger. Who would have thought that the unlucky ghost who was dragged to listen to people's complaints would also be suspected because of this.

"That's right. I wanted to cause some trouble for Chen Xiu and make it difficult for him. But before I could do anything, something happened to him." Wang Qi said coldly, "I will admit what I have done, but I will admit what I have not done." There is no need to worry about it. If brother Wushuang doesn't believe me, we have nothing to say, please go back."

Seeing that Wang Qi issued the order to evict the guest, Dong Jue hurriedly said, "Of course I also want to believe Brother Qiongju, but you have to prove it to me."

"Prove it? How to prove it?" Wang Qi sneered and said, "Let me go to the lobby to beat the drums and complain, so that everyone in the county knows that I didn't secretly send someone to gather together the rotten fruits that Chen Xiu was going to split up? "

Faced with Dong Jue's aggressiveness, Wang Qi was already very unhappy at this time.It's a pity that instead of restraining himself, Dong Jue intensified and said, "Since you didn't frame my brother-in-law, go and beg your third uncle to give him a lighter sentence. As long as my brother-in-law is not sentenced to slavery and confiscated into the army, we are willing to spend money to eliminate the disaster."

"What's the matter, according to Brother Wushuang, if I want to prove my innocence, I have to rescue Chen Xiu. If I don't help this, it's tantamount to admitting that I'm the villain who plotted against him?" Wang Qi couldn't believe it. Said: "Brother Wushuang, we two grew up together, and I always regarded you as a friend who can give me my heart. I didn't expect that when things came to an end, even you would force me like this."

Whether Wang Qi plotted against Chen Xiu or not, Dong Jue was just guessing, without any real evidence.Dong Jue asked himself, if he really wronged Wang Qi, what he did would really be chilling.But he really had no other way. The two brothers had tried so many different ways in the past few days, but it was of no use at all.As for other people, Dong Jue naturally did not dare to persecute him like this, and now he could only persecute Wang Qi, an acquaintance.

"Brother Qiongju, please forgive me." Being pierced by Wang Qi's gaze, he couldn't lift his head, and Dong Jue lost the confidence he had just now, "Because of this incident, my sister's in-laws have already fallen. Niang also washed her face with tears all day long. I really have no other choice but to beg you."

Wang Qi could tell that Dong Jue didn't want to wrong his parents and sister, so he could only wrong his friend.

"If my brother-in-law and Hu Cai were punished as slaves, according to the laws of our dynasty, my sister and her two children would not be able to escape either."

Seeing that Dong Jue was about to cry, it could be seen that she was sincerely worried about her sister. Wang Qi was also a little soft-hearted, and couldn't help saying: "If you don't want your sister and the children to be implicated, you can let her make peace with Chen Xiu now. And After leaving, your sister brought the child back to Dong's house, so naturally she has nothing to do with Chen Xiu."

"Brother Qiongju, how can you say such unfeeling words?" Dong Jue said in surprise: "That is my brother-in-law, and my sister is a married couple. How could my sister leave him? Besides, the Chen family will not Agreed."

Wang Qidao: "Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest. When the disaster is imminent, they fly separately. The matter has come to this point, your sister is not too much for the child and self-protection. Besides, the child is the flesh and blood of their Chen family after all. If Chen Xiuzhen is sentenced to slavery , can the Chen family not think about their own grandson?"

"If you do this, how will you make people in the county think of our Dong family and my sister?" Dong Jue stood up and said angrily to Wang Qi: "They will say that our Dong family is ungrateful and ungrateful. Say my sister is ruthless. At that time, even if my sister and two children can survive, how can you make them look up?"

It was a good intention to come up with an idea, but I didn't expect to be rebuked.Wang Qi was really upset, and couldn't help saying: "What's the use of yelling at me? Chen Xiu did it on his own. When he did these things, he should have thought of the consequences. Now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, how can your sister and children be able to hold their heads up and be human?" Is it? I think brother Wushuang was also infected by your sister. He doesn't make sense at all, he just blindly defends his shortcomings. It is their own responsibility that the Chen family has fallen into what it is today, so why should others suffer along with it?"

"Brother Qiongju, you don't need to use this to hurt my brother-in-law. You and I have been brothers for so many years, I have never asked you anything. I didn't expect you to be so heartless. It really chills me." Dong Jue sneered and said ironically: "That's right. Brother Qiongju can even fall out with his own grandma and uncle. He turns cold and refuses to admit it. It can be said that he doesn't care about family affection at all. How can he expect you to cherish the friendship between you and me? I am I see you clearly."

Dong Jue's words can be said to be heartbreaking every word, directly poking people's hearts.Wang Qi trembled angrily on the spot.

"Since brother Qiongju is not willing to help, then I won't stay here to be annoying, and leave!" After leaving these words, Dong Jue left in a huff.

Wang Qi was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground.After being reborn, he thought that he had already looked down on everything, and there would be nothing that could make him angry.But at this moment, Wang Qi was out of breath.

Although he had already had a premonition of a relationship with Dong Jue, what Wang Qi didn't expect was that he and Dong Jue really turned their faces because of Chen Xiu.Wang Qi really couldn't figure out how he treated Dong Jue, and how Chen Xiu treated Dong Jue. Dong Jue clearly knew each and every one of them.It's not that he doesn't know what Chen Xiu's character is, and why he is so obsessed with it, and even hurt his good friend's heart because of it.Could it be that no matter how hard he treats Dong Jue, is it still not worth the weak relationship?
