Stage 212
Xu Qian's hand holding the hairpin trembled, and her eyes swept around the crowd, hoping to find someone who was willing to help her.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, the official stepped forward and snatched the hairpin, looking at her like a murderer.
"Why the hell, why do you want to arrest a lady in my boudoir?" Xu Qian was so frightened by the gaze of the official that she sat on the ground, and it took all her strength to ask such a sentence.
At this moment, two mothers-in-law carried a maidservant to the courtyard.
Promise squinted and looked over there, the corners of his mouth drawing an arc.
"It's her, it's her! She sent a tea ball to our lady, and our lady was poisoned by her!" The maid was originally dragging her mother-in-law on her back, but after seeing Xu Qian, she stood up and was about to rush forward.
As soon as Xu Qian heard this, she instantly understood what was going on, she was regarded as the person who killed Wu Niangzi!
When the official saw this, he immediately shouted: "Why are you here, Lord Tongju is still waiting for a certificate in the palace!"
"After you entered the temple mansion, this little hoof said that he wanted to get out of the car and relieve himself, who knew that he would run to the house as soon as he got out of the car, how could our legs and feet be compared with a half-grown child like her, and it took a long time to catch up. The little hooves were cleaned up by us, and they weren't ready to go out? ”
The mother-in-law spoke vividly, promised to sneer, and did not make any comments on this, but her hand kept pressing Xu Pingyi, who was ready to get up at any time.
Xu Pingyi didn't know why Xu Promise kept holding him down, but his consistent trust made him choose to trust her and not interfere.
"Well, let's go together. After listening to the mother-in-law's explanation, the official was not annoyed. motioned for one of them to come over and grab Xu Qian.
Xu Qian shook off her mother-in-law's hand and sneered: "Who asked you to come? Wu Niangzi's death has nothing to do with me, you don't want to frame me." ”
"I can't help you. You'd better follow us obediently, and you won't fall into a crazy. The mother-in-law said as she went to pull Xu Qian's arm again.
Xu Qian continued to shake it off, her teeth were about to be crushed, she would rather be called crazy than be arrested and sent to prison.
That kind of stigma can't be washed off no matter how much it is washed......
She didn't want to.
After a stalemate. Yan Shu couldn't stand it, and said, "Go find your prefect and ask him to take the fourth mother of the Xu family away." Go back for now. I'll talk about that later. The first half of his words were addressed to the officials, and the second half was addressed to the ten gentlemen in the flower hall.
Looking at Xu Qian, who was sitting in the courtyard and dressed as a man, the ten young men had different thoughts, but they all nodded at the moment. Prepare to leave. Don't get involved in this kind of thing.
"Xu Dalang, you are not allowed to leave! As a brother, can you bear to let me be taken away?" Xu Qian got up on her knees and shouted in the direction of Xu Pingyi.
Xu Pingyi didn't plan to leave, he was still standing in the distance, looking at Xu Qian at the moment, the pity in his heart faded a little.
Just then, there was movement outside.
Yan Shu's housekeeper came to report. It is said that it should be the governor of Tianfu and the Ministry of Works.
Promise raised his head, father they came.
So. It's time for the people of the county lord of Jiaren to come.
The teenagers who were about to leave were retracted after hearing the housekeeper's words, Lu Yijian and Xu Gucheng were famous, and they were in important official positions in the court, so it was good to be able to show their faces in front of them.
After a while, two people dressed in official robes arrived.
Xu Qian hurriedly shouted: "Father, uncle......"
He didn't say a word of superfluous words, just lowered his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
This aggrieved look is really distressing.
Xu Gucheng already knew Xu Qian's personality, but he just looked at her in disappointment at the moment, and did not make any other moves.
On the contrary, Lu Yijian asked the mother-in-law on the side to help Xu Qian up.
This time, Xu Qian did not shake off her mother-in-law's hand and stood up very obediently.
Lu Yijian looked at Xu Qian and sighed heavily, and then asked the official: "When did you come over?"
"Zhizhou, little ......" The official opened the conversation box and groveled to Lu Yijian for a long time.
Xu Yu stood in the flower hall with a blank face, seemingly godless but always paying attention to the expression of the official servant's speech, she had learned micro-expressions, and she could see that the official was full of nonsense at the moment.
Lu Yi has read countless people, although he doesn't know how to express himself, he can also see that the official service has hidden something from him.
He got the news from Xijing this morning, and discussed the matter with Xu Gucheng after going down, and the two went back to Xu's mansion to find Xu Qian to ask about the situation first, and then make a decision, but they couldn't find any trace of Xu Qian after looking for Xu's house.
Later, his subordinates reported and told him that Tongju had sent someone to Yanshu Mansion to arrest people, and he learned that Xu Qian had quietly pretended to be a small servant and came to Sicheng Mansion, and Tongju got the news and sent someone to Sicheng Mansion.
They arrived late, so they hurried to get there.
There is nothing wrong with others not knowing about the conspiracy of the county lord of Jiaren, but Xu Yu and Xiao Yuan can see it clearly, Ying Tianfu's general sentence is probably bought by the county lord of Jiaren, and the official servants and mothers-in-law in this court are also the people who have passed the sentence.
"Uncle, my son has never poisoned Mrs. Wu. Xu Qian was as soft as a willow at the moment, holding the hand of the mother-in-law on the side before she could barely stand, but when she spoke, her expression was swearing, which made people feel more admiration when they saw pity.
Lu Yijian looked at her for a moment, then turned her head and asked Yan Shu, "Yan Sicheng, can I borrow you a guest room?"
There are many people here, and they obviously want to ask Xu Qian alone.
Yan Shu glanced at Xu Qian, pursed his lips and nodded, beckoned the housekeeper standing aside with his hand, and said a few words in the butler's ear.
Xu Qian's originally panicked eyes suddenly lit up, and she put aside her mother-in-law's hand and walked towards Lu Yijian.
The butler stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to the east wing on the side.
The housekeeper opened the door, and before the two of them entered the house, someone ran in and reported to Yan Shu, saying that there was a distinguished guest who asked to see him.
Xu Gucheng's face changed, and he said to Yan Shu: "Lord Sicheng, can you and I go to meet together?" Under all kinds of coincidences, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and at this moment, he wanted to give Lu Yijian some time, so he proposed to meet this visitor with Yan Shu.
"Okay!" Yan Shu is friends with Xu Pingyi, and he is a colleague with Xu Gucheng, so he will naturally agree.
"Ah Lang, I'm afraid it's too late, when the little ones come in, they will have to break in, I'm afraid it's about to arrive. The little guy who reported said anxiously.
Sure enough, as soon as the little girl's voice fell, he could see several people passing through the round door and coming this way.
Over there, Lu Yijian saw that there was too much time, so he asked Xu Qian a few key words: "Have you sent a tea ball to Mrs. Wu?"
"Er brought Wu Niangzi a tea group for others, but it was not for Er to send. ”
"Who?"
"I can't say. ”
"What day was it delivered?What kind of tea is it?What kind of tea is in it?"
"In the middle of the month, I can't remember what day it was. ”
……
The guest in the mouth of the little guy is the county lord of Jiaren, not long after she came in, the general judgment of Ying Tianfu also arrived, and he came with Wu Niangzi's cousin and sister-in-law, the two of them cried while walking, looking grief-stricken.
Except for Xu Pingyi and Xu Brother and Sister, only Xiao Yuan was the only one in the flower hall, and the rest walked out.
Xiao Yuan leaned lazily on the table, supported his head with one hand, played with a paperweight with the other, and asked Xu Pingyi with a playful smile: "Your Xu Mansion seems to have a big deal, why don't you go out and take a look?"
"It's useless to go out. Xu Pingyi said lightly, but his hand was clenched tightly with a few clicks.
Seeing Xu Pingyi's shoulders move slightly, Xu Yu glared at Xiao Yuan angrily.
Xiao Yuan smiled and asked, "Xu Dalang, since you are useless, it is better to let this useful person behind you go out and see if you can save some of the face of the Xu family." Liuniang, everyone is here, it's time for you to play. ”
"You ......" Xu Pingyi didn't expect Xiao Yuan to recognize the promise, and as soon as he said a word, he found that the hand that had been pressing on his shoulder was released, and when he raised his eyes, he only saw the back of the promise.
He reached out to hold the promise, but he didn't expect anyone to be faster than him.
Xiao Yuan came out from behind, grabbed Xu Xu's wrist, and said in her ear: "It's better for me to come to this kind of show, you just sit here and watch a good show." ”
Xu Yu glared at Xiao Yuan and snorted, "Do you know what I'm going to say and how I'm going to say it?"
"I know. Smile pushed the promise back and walked towards the crowd himself.
Promise stood still with his mouth raised.
"Liuniang, are you very familiar with Xiao Shilang?" Xu Pingyi and Xiao Yuan belong to the kind of relationship that will not greet each other when they meet each other, but just now they saw that the two were very familiar, and Liuniang was not rejected by Xiao Yuan's wrist, which surprised him.
"I recognized it when I was in Suzhou, huh...... I guess it was shortly after the amnesia. Xu promised to answer with a smile, and his originally indifferent eyes had a little more brilliance. (To be continued.) )
