Chapter 276: Extinguishing the Mouth
Liu Hui smiled slightly, without words. Feng Qi lowered his eyelids and sighed faintly: "Hey, another self-righteous woman." It's just that he deliberately lowered his voice and didn't let Lan'er hear it.
Hua Lianyue had already calmly met Lan'er's provocative eyes, and said lightly: "It turns out that this jade bracelet is really worth a lot, it seems that I was too negligent, and I should indeed be compensated according to the price." ”
Lan'er blocked her heart in one breath, and almost didn't suffocate to death. This month, Mrs. is too shameless, she has exposed her lies, and she has been so light and ashamed to accept it. It's a pity that Naxian Wang Bai has a shrewd and handsome good appearance, but he is fascinated by such a brazen bad woman, and he can't see his kindness and intelligence at all.
Hua Lianyue slowly walked in front of the married lady, although she was still wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth jacket at the moment, no one dared to think that she was a vulgar and wild girl with hairy hands and feet. After all, she set up a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, successfully took down the main culprit Xie Jingde and his accomplices, and recovered the stolen and sold military rations, which has been passed from the army to the people.
Except for Lan'er, who was carried away by jealousy, the eyes of the rest of the people who looked at her were full of awe.
The married lady was rolling her eyes, thinking of a way to get out, but there was a flower in front of her. Hua Liyue had already thrown a light blue purse into her arms and said, "You count, a thousand taels of silver will only be more, not less." ”
Feng Qi subconsciously touched his waist, and then said to Liu Hui with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, that is my purse, and it is full of my private silver." ”
Liu Hui coughed lightly and said solemnly: "It's okay, just go to the account tomorrow to get two thousand taels." ”
Feng Qi said with a bitter face: "But there are two thousand three hundred and seventeen taels of silver in there......
Hua Lianyue continued: "I have compensated for the warm jade bracelet according to the price, and now I have something I want to ask Madame." Since you keep saying that your husband is just a small clerk, he has not participated in the case of stealing and selling military rations. How did he buy this precious jade bracelet worth a thousand taels with his six dollars of silver a month?"
The lady of the family had already guessed that she would question this, so she rolled her eyes and quibbled: "This jade bracelet is the ancestral heirloom of my family." ”
"Fart!" Before Hua Lianyue could speak, some people in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "I grew up with Cheng Laosi, and they are all from a bitter military family, who doesn't know who's background." I remember that his ancestors were also poor, and when his father died, there was a thin-skinned coffin left in the house that leaked everywhere. Even the shroud was bought by a few of us together, how could he have such a valuable bracelet handed down when he got married. ”
The lady of the Cheng family screamed angrily: "Do you still want an outsider to know what is in the Cheng family? I said that it is the ancestral inheritance of the Cheng family, that is, the ancestral heirloom of the Cheng family." Although her words are a bit strong, they are irrefutable.
The scepticism in the crowd immediately fell silent.
Hua Lianyue smiled slightly and continued: "This jade bracelet is an ancestral heirloom, and it is reasonable. But the three taels of silver and a box of lard paste on your face, and the two taels of silver and one horse of plain snow silk that you wear close to your body, are they also handed down from your ancestors?"
Someone in the crowd sneered angrily: "I'm afraid that these are not ancestors, but from the mouths of those bitter soldiers." ”
The lady of the family glared at her with a pair of wonderful eyes, she pinched her waist and said sharply: "If there is no evidence, you are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"Evidence?" Hua Lianyue snorted coldly and said, "There is already so much evidence in front of me, if the married lady still wants to pretend to be stupid, I have nothing to say." It's just that I don't know if the sergeants who were deducted from their rations by your husband Jun Ke will let you tell you about right and wrong!"
With a "whoosh", a stone flew over from the outside and hit the head of the lady who was as clean as jade. She was caught off guard and covered her head with a "ouch!", only to feel that the place where she was smashed was painful, and it must have been broken oilskin, so she couldn't help screaming and scolding: "Whoever is blind and throws stones with dog eyes is not afraid of hurting people." ”
I heard someone outside shouting and scolding: "Beat you to death, a poisonous woman, take the food we sell for, and raise you without knowing the height of the sky, and you still dare to cry out for those rotten things!"
"Yes, fortunately, King Xian and Lady Moon are wise enough to help us catch these moths and recover all the food, otherwise we don't know how many people would starve to death this winter. ”
"Kill her, kill this poisonous woman!"
More and more shouts and scolding, accompanied by countless gravel, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves, flew towards the unsuspecting married lady. The married lady stared wide-eyed and screamed in horror, as if she didn't understand why she had become the target of public criticism.
In just an instant, she was as pitiful as a white lotus in plain clothes, and her body was like a dye shop, yellow, red, black, and green, all mixed together. In addition to instinctively holding her head and screaming in horror, the lady of the family has no ability to resist at all.
Shopkeeper Lu finally couldn't stand it anymore, he asked the guys to step forward to protect the embarrassed married lady with a gloomy face, and scolded loudly: "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, whoever broke the things in my gold shop, you have to compensate them one by one."
I know you have a fire in your heart, and if you want to get angry, you will go to the old men who are committing crimes in the prison car. She is a woman, she only knows that she feels sorry for her man, where does she know the twists and turns in it. Even if you do something wrong, you don't deserve such hatred. ”
When the married lady heard this, she hurriedly screamed: "Yes, I don't know anything, I don't know anything......"
Persuaded by him, many angry soldiers turned around to look for trouble with the prisoners in the prisoner car. There are also many people who still block the door of the gold shop, pointing at the married lady who is curled up in a ball and shivering.
As early as when the first stone flew in, Hua Lianyue had already pulled Lan'er to hide beside Liu Hui, and couldn't help but say coldly when she heard this: "Her food and clothing are all meticulous, which is a lot of money." Since she dared to spend so much, she should know what her man was doing outside. Now that the matter has been exposed, he dares to come forward and shout injustice. I really don't know if she is fearless and ignorant, or shameless to the extreme. ”
Shopkeeper Lu was hanging a rotten vegetable leaf on his head at the moment, and a large piece of egg drop soup was open on his shoulder, and he looked extremely embarrassed. But he still stubbornly guarded the married lady and never retreated. Listening to Hua Lianyue's ridicule, he glared angrily and said coldly: "At this time, you have to fall into the well, doesn't Mrs. Xianwang have a little compassion?"
Is this to blame her for being too vicious? Hua Lianyue was not afraid of his anger at all, and sneered coldly: "I see that the shopkeeper Lu is very compassionate, if you don't know, you must think that you are her father-in-law." ”
Shopkeeper Lu's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Xianwang is not going to spew blood, I just don't want those rough people outside to smash my shop, speaking of which, today's incident was also provoked by you, Madame, and the loss of our store afterwards, I am afraid that Mrs. will also need to spend a sum of money." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Hua Lianyue suddenly hooked her lips and laughed.
Her abrupt smile made Shopkeeper Lu suddenly feel his scalp tingle. I always feel that the person in front of me doesn't seem to give up. Sure enough, Hua Lianyue said loudly: "The military households outside are listening, if there is anyone who wants to be angry, just smash it for me, and I Hua Lianyue will bear all the losses alone." ”
Hua Lianyue waved her hand, and a whistling sound immediately sounded above her head, and several stones the size of a baby's fist landed at the feet of the guy with the stick. They were so shocked that they retreated again and again, and if they were to be hit, they had to break their heads and bleed. They pushed it, and the shopkeeper Lu behind them had to retreat, and as a result, they fell together with the married lady who had no time to avoid it.
The scene was very chaotic for a while, with all kinds of shouts and scolding mixed together, vegetable leaves and eggs flying together, bonsai and calligraphy and paintings wailing! Those people who had been chased away by the gold shop men in the past rushed to the front like chicken blood.
"You, you're too much!" Shopkeeper Lu probably had never seen such an unreasonable woman, and his old face was flushed with anger: "How can you smash my shop." His voice was so sharp that it almost cried blood.
Hua Lianyue only replied to him with three words: "I'm happy!"
Feng Qi finally couldn't look at it anymore, he coughed lightly behind Hua Lianyue, and whispered, "Mastermother, Feng Xiang Jin Pu didn't do anything wrong on the surface. You're just smashing people like this, it seems a little unreasonable. ”
Hua Lianyue didn't look back, and said arrogantly: "I knew that there was something wrong with this Lu shopkeeper, but I didn't hold his handle." If I don't smash his shop today, my heart will not be happy. Feng Qi was a little dumbfounded, she was happy, but her own prince's purse was afraid that she would not be happy.
Liu Hui, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Feng Qi, let her go! It's just a gold shop, and your master can afford it." His voice did not fluctuate, even with a hint of tenderness and doting. It seems that it is very interesting that she has people smash a gold shop.
"Yes!" Feng Qi really closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.
Lan'er was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect that the development of things was completely different from what she thought, and she didn't expect this Lady Yue to be so arrogant and unreasonable, and she didn't expect King Xian to be so conniving. She patted her chest and secretly said that it was dangerous. It's a shame that she dispelled that little bit of thought early, otherwise I don't know what miserable situation she would have ended up in.
At this time, her maid muttered on the side: "I look very familiar with the patterns on this piece of broken jade, as if I have seen it somewhere in the past few days." ”
Hua Lianyue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Think about it carefully, but you saw this bracelet when you accompanied your young lady to buy jewelry?"
"Not bad!" Hua Lianyue reminded her, and the little maid immediately remembered, and she said excitedly: "Miss, when you came to see the new jewelry three days ago, Shopkeeper Lu once brought several jade bracelets in good condition, one of which still had a little rain over the azure. You also said that you didn't like the color, and it wasn't fresh enough, so you didn't pick it. You see, these three pieces of broken jade are put together, and the color on them is exactly the same as that taken out by the shopkeeper Lu that day. ”
"I'll take a look!" Lan'er took the three small pieces of broken jade and put them together, looked at them carefully, and exclaimed: "Really, this color is exactly the same as the one I saw three days ago." ”
"Three days ago?" Hua Lianyue touched her chin and muttered: "Three days ago, this jade bracelet was still in the gold shop, but today it is worn on the body of the married lady, is it ......" She was thinking about how to reveal the relationship between the two to the world, when she suddenly heard a terrible scream from the crowded and noisy crowd.
.......
In the chaos, Shopkeeper Lu was desperately protecting the lady of the family behind him, but he didn't expect that the heavy furnishing cabinet in the crowd suddenly collapsed, crushing the two of them below. The men and the people were startled, and they hurriedly worked together to lift the cabinet open.
But I saw that the shopkeeper Lu and the lady of the family had been crushed to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they were completely out of breath. It's just that around them, there are also a lot of magnificent and dazzling treasures and jewelry, exuding a strange light in the pool of blood.
I didn't expect that there would be a death, there was a dead silence in the room at first, and everyone couldn't help but show a look of horror on their faces, and then someone sneaked away, followed by more and more people smearing oil on the soles of their feet and sneaking away.
Those guys were also dumbfounded, there were still people who beckoned to call the doctor, and some people secretly picked up a few valuable red gold jewelry from the pool of blood and stuffed them into their arms, and then retreated with the flow of people.
One man took the lead, there were two, and the third, and in a matter of moments, the fellows each picked up a few valuable pieces of jewelry.
The original splendid Fengxiang Gold Shop was only left with the pair of wild mandarin ducks who died at the same time, and the stunned Hua Lianyue and a few people. Looking at the two corpses, Hua Liyue also felt her scalp tingle, and she said with some regret: "I just couldn't get angry, I wanted to teach them some lessons, but I didn't want to let them die....."
Liu Hui stepped forward, hugged her shoulder, and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, it's just an accident." ”
Hua Lianyue frowned and didn't say anything, was this really an accident? She had just discovered evidence of an ambiguous relationship between them, and a fatal accident befell them. It was not so much an accident as a provocation.
Hua Liyue jerked her head up and looked at the second floor, which was still calm. She had keenly sensed that there was a very unfriendly gaze hidden there. She spun around sharply and staggered towards the second floor.
Lan'er, who was also stupid, suddenly came back to her senses, and she hurriedly lifted the corner of her skirt and chased after her. Don't forget to warn: "Mrs. Yue, don't come nonsense, it's a noble person from the capital......" Her words suddenly stuck in her throat.
Hua Lianyue had unceremoniously lifted the bead curtain, but it was quiet inside, and there was no one. On the round table with pear and mica in the center, there are a few plates of dim sum that have not moved much, and two tea cups that have long been out of heat.
Lan'er was stunned for a moment, and her teeth suddenly chattered. She whispered, "How could it be gone, there is not even a window here except for the door." I've been keeping an eye on him, and I haven't seen him come out......!
Hua Lianyue touched the teacup with the back of her hand, looked at Liu Hui who came up, shook her head a little frustratedly and said, "The tea is cold, let's be a step late." ”
