Chapter 60 The Unlucky Sister

Ye Qingqing snorted and put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll go and see. If it's him, just scold him."

Lu Jinping nodded and continued to eat.

After a while, Ye Qingqing came back, pouted her mouth, sat down, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and continued to eat. Seeing that she was unhappy, Lu Jinping asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that he dares to kiss me Xiao Qingqing to make things unhappy?"

"Hmph, he dares! It would be easier to do if that happens. However, when he saw me open the door, he knelt on the ground and cried, begging Lord Jue to help. I said Lord Jue didn't want to see him and told him to leave immediately. But he said that Lord Jue's sister was about to die, begging Lord Jue to save her life, for the sake of his fellow siblings."

Lu Jinping was stunned for a moment: "My sister is almost dead? What's going on?"

Although the sister and brother-in-law did not give them a grain of support when they needed help the most, considering that women in ancient times rarely had the right to speak in the family, they were afraid that they could not decide anything. Therefore, they refused to help their poverty, but were afraid that the brother-in-law in front of them had the idea. The sister was willing but not able to blame her.

Furthermore, after all, he was born to a mother. He inherited the body of the scholar and of course he should inherit his responsibilities. If it were other things, Lu Jinping was too lazy to pay attention to it, but now he heard that his sister who leaned over the scholar was about to die. If he still ignored it, it would be a bit unkind. After all, he was two siblings and blood relationship could not be erased.

When Ye Qingqing saw Lu Jinping's expression, she knew that he was hesitating. She said immediately: "They know that they use sweet words to cheat people of money. The cunning businessmen have a few words that are true? Don't believe him, and don't pay attention to him. So I closed the door before I finished listening to him."

Seeing Lu Jinping lowering his head and pondering, Ye Qingqing stood up and said, "Since it is a major matter of the life and death of the Lord's sister, why don't I go and ask what the matter is?"

Lu Jinping nodded, stood up and said, "It's a problem for you to go back and forth like this, so I'll ask myself."

Lu Jinping brought Ye Qingqing to the front yard door. Before he opened the door, he heard sob crying and begging from the room: "Sir, please, save your sister, she is almost dead, please..."

Ye Qingqing opened the yard gate. Lu Jinping looked at him and saw a chubby middle-aged man kneeling on the steps. He didn't know if it was sweat or tears on his face, and he cried with tears in his nose and tears.

This person must be his brother-in-law Jin Dafu. Lu Jinping said, "Get up, what's wrong with my sister? After that, it's simple and clear, go straight to the point."

Jin Dafu quickly wiped his tears, snot, stood up and said, "My brother..., no, sir, this time you want to save your sister no matter what, she is your real sister. You are only two sisters, and there are no other relatives. I heard your sister say that when your parents passed away, you told your sister to take good care of you, and you also told you to take care of your sister when you grow up in the future. You want..."

Lu Jinping's robe sleeves flicked, turned around and walked in.

Ye Qingqing snorted and said, "Sir, don't want to listen to your nonsense!" After that, he reached out and closed the door.

Jin Dafu quickly stopped him and said anxiously: "Sir, don't leave! I'm wrong, I'll talk about the subject immediately. Your sister was falsely accused of stealing something and being arrested. She wanted to send her to the yamen for punishment, which may be a death sentence!"

Lu Jinping stopped and turned to look at him: "What's going on?"

"That's right. A few days ago, the head of our Jin family was also the village chief of our village. On his 60th birthday, many clan members went back to celebrate his birthday, and I took your sister back. Because the head of the Jin family invited the guests to the banquet, I asked your sister to help. As a result, a golden bracelet of the head of the Jin family was stolen. The head of the Jin family insisted that it was your sister stolen, but your sister said she had never entered the inner house at all. So, after thinking about it, the head of the Jin family saw me do it.

The business is a little money, so I depend on me and asked me to compensate. I couldn't swallow this and went to argue with the head of Jin. But the head of Jin didn't listen to me at all, so he locked up your sister and said he wanted to send it to the yamen for punishment. If I didn't pay the money, he said that the gold bracelet was worth tens of thousands of yuan. If the small business I did was compensated, I was afraid that the business would collapse. So, Sir, you must save your sister and steal ten thousand yuan. That would be a serious crime. Once it was sent to the yamen, you would be dead!"

After hearing him, Lu Jinping said coldly: "How do you ask me to help you? Do you want me to help you with this gold bracelet?"

"No, no, how dare I? I heard that you were recommended by Mr. Gao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Court, and became an official in the Tongzhou Yamen. You have a big backer like Mr. Gao and a dignified lord. If you come forward to negotiate with the Jin clan leader, maybe he can release your sister. Otherwise, you will be sent to the Yamen for punishment and stealing tens of thousands of people will be chopped off your head."

Lu Jinping knew that the crime of theft was severe in ancient times. Even if he didn't lose his head, he would probably be exiled thousands of miles away or to be hard-working. If this stingy and mean brother-in-law insisted on refusing the gold bracelet, and he was unwilling to help his sister solve this problem, he was afraid that the one who was unlucky would be his sister.

Lu Jinping asked: "Did sister steal it?"

"I asked your sister, and she cried and said that there was no one, and she also made a poisonous oath. She said that Old Lady Jin's bracelet was stolen in the inner house, and she had never been in there and had been helping in the kitchen front hall. How could she steal the golden bracelet? She was really wronged."

Lu Jinping nodded. No matter what, my sister is my sister, and her blood is thicker than water. If my sister really didn't steal and was framed by the Jin clan leader, then she couldn't sit idly by. She said now: "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the yamen to ask for a leave first, and then rush there."

When Jin Dafu heard this, he couldn't help but be ecstatic: "It's great, thank you, I will pay for all the expenses along the way. Don't worry, Sir."

Lu Jinping did not have any good feelings for this snobbish brother-in-law, Jin Dafu, but he ran from afar to kneel on the ground begging and crying, which shows that he still has a husband-and-wife relationship with his sister, and he is not a very annoying person.

At this moment, Lu Jinping asked him to go to the yamen with him to ask for leave.

When they arrived at the yamen, Lu Jinping asked him to wait at the door, and he first went to the signing room of the hospital to ask for leave. The judging of the hospital knew that he was sponsored by Mr. Gao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and had a title, so he was very polite to him. Anyway, he had nothing to do with the warehouse, and there were people who also managed it. He didn't ask why he asked for leave at the moment, and he immediately approved it.

Lu Jinping came to Luo Shiju's signing room again to ask for leave.

Although Lu Jinping is a doctor of medicine, he only needs to ask for leave from the hospital of the clinic and does not need to ask for leave from Luo Siju. However, Governor Feng has asked him to assist Luo Siju to investigate the case, so he still has to say hello to him.

When Luo Sifa heard that Lu Jinping wanted to take ten days off, he was a little anxious. Because the case of General Li's grandmother's grave was robbed yet, Lu Jinping was about to leave at the moment. So Luo Sifa was very nervous and stood up and bowed, "Why did the Lord ask for so many days off? I can't leave here."

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way. My sister was told to steal things and was arrested and imprisoned. I suspect that she was wronged. If I don't go, my sister would be thrown into prison. It would be a disaster. My parents both died, so we siblings, and I don't care who cares about her?"

"Ah? Who is so bold to be so bold to accuse the Lord's sister?"

"It's not from our Tongzhou, but from Fangzhou, but a patriarch in my brother-in-law's hometown."

"Fangzhou?" Luo Sifa couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "It just so happened that I have a good relationship with Xie Sifa from Fangzhou. When I compile a book, you go straight to him to deal with it. He will still give him this little face. Hurry up and settle the matter back. You can't solve the case here without you. What's the Lord's opinion?"
