Chapter 418: Drizzle

"You really can't rob a prison?" Zhi Ting saw that Gu Ming was silent for a long time, and asked tentatively.

Gu Ming glared at her weakly: "What unreliable commentary have you listened to recently?" Don't listen to it anymore! ”

"Ahh If you don't rob, you won't rob! In fact, I also know that it is unreliable! Otherwise, how could I ask you in advance! Zhiting said with a grin and ran away quickly.

She was really worried that Gu Ming wouldn't let her listen to the book reviews in the future!

Gu Ming shouted a few times in the back, and Zhiting obviously heard it, but she ran faster and faster.

"This Zhiting!" Gu Ming was angry and hateful. Originally, she was going to ask her, how can Zhang Shujun contact her now! But I didn't expect such a farce to come out.

What do people say about it?

As long as Zhiting goes out, it is difficult to find. Gu Ming had to stop thinking about looking for her.

In any case, the cell head and the officials have been taken care of, and Gu Fang and Gu Shan are both injured...... Even if Tu Zhifu is anxious, he will not be in a hurry for a while.

So, if it drags on for another two or three days, there should be no problem.

She could only press her heart, planning to hold her first as long as Zhiting showed up again, and ask her about it well.

While he was groaning, Menzi walked over with a puzzled face.

"What's going on?" Gu Ming stopped him.

Menzi touched the back of his head and said strangely: "Girl, there is a scholar outside the door, saying that his surname is Dong and he wants to find you......"

Surname Dong? Could it be Dong Chunhui? How did he get here? Gu Ming felt strange in her heart.

I probably got this address from Aunt Dong, right? But what did he come here for? She doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"What's going on, what do you mean by not letting people go?" Yao was anxious and angry, and loudly scolded the steward who was standing in front of him with his head down.

The steward secretly complained in his heart, so he had to cheer up and introduce to the Yao family: "The little one inquired clearly from the prefect, and the prefect said, 'Spoil the concubine and kill the wife', this matter should not be underestimated, and it must be tried well......"

So you can't release them now.

However, these are only superficial statements. This steward is also a personal essence, where does he not know the true face of greed under the seemingly selfless surface of Tu Governor's Mansion?

Only sons and brothers like Shiro and Rokuro who don't know the world will think that it is a very good idea to go to the yamen to complain, right?

"But, isn't it okay to lock Gu Wang up alone? Why are even my Shiro and Rokuro locked up? "Yao has never encountered such a thing, everything is taken for granted.

The steward's lowered face showed a look of disdain. However, he quickly put away this emotion, tried to calm down, raised his face, and said to Yao: "Madam, not only the defendant will be locked up, but the plaintiff will be the same. In addition, if there are several witnesses in the course of the lawsuit, they must also be locked up. In addition, if a woman is involved, unless she is guilty of great adultery and great evil, she is to be replaced by a father, a brother, a husband, or a son. (For the specific case, see "Yang Naiwu and the Little Cabbage Case", countless innocent people have been locked up for decades, including the pharmacy manager who sold medicine to the little cabbage)

And such a provision! Yao was dumbfounded.

She really didn't know.

For a while, she resented her mother-in-law back then. This kind of thing, when Mama teaches the rules, she must talk about it, right?

It's a pity that her grandmother didn't let her learn at that time, and the grandmother who was specially invited only taught her sister alone.

If she had learned a little bit at that time, how could she suffer such a big loss this time?

"What's not to do? Just said, let's not sue, we have to withdraw the lawsuit. Yao endured his breath alive, feeling his throat and eyes jumping and jumping, extremely uncomfortable.

It's just a small prefect, and he dares to take Qiao in front of her! Her brother-in-law is the Hou Ye!

Not to mention that when she becomes a lady in the future, she wants him to look good!

The steward was a little embarrassed, looked at Yao, and said, "Small...... Go to the yamen and ask and see if there's a way to ......."

Governor Tu obviously wants to treat the Gu family as a cash cow, but the ridiculous lady is still thinking about withdrawing the lawsuit?

They thought it was too easy at first, thinking that as long as they sued the official, they would be able to force the master out of the fourteenth mother. If it is forced out, it will be easy to do it later, and they will have to toss the family business.

But I didn't expect that before I entered the yamen, before the lawsuit began, I tossed myself in.

What the steward didn't expect was that at that time, several people from the Yao family had a good calculation, and wanted to use the complaint as an excuse to force Gu Ming to take out the Osmanthus Xiangjiu Shop as a price for them to withdraw the lawsuit.

didn't expect that they were cocooning themselves and tossing themselves into it.

"Go, go, go!" Yao was distraught and waved his hand indiscriminately.

The steward hurried out.

Knowing that it was useless, he had to go to the yamen. It's just a trip like this, but I don't know how much silver it will cost. The steward touched his purse, and the few taels of silver given by the Yao family this morning had already been wiped out.

He turned and walked toward the tent.

Unexpectedly, the gentleman in charge of the account refused to let him pay the account, saying that the lady had not explained, and he could not let people settle the account casually.

This steward is in a hurry, what is the matter with Madame, let him do things, but he didn't send someone to explain to the account, and as a result, he couldn't support a few taels of silver?

Originally, the Yao family assigned this job to him, but he didn't want to take it, but he had to go on, and he was depressed enough. I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and my mood suddenly became very bad.

He is in charge of this, what are he afraid of? So he made a lot of trouble. But the bookkeeper was not a good one, and for a while, the bookkeeper became very lively.

"What's the matter, didn't I ask you to go to the yamen to inquire, why are you making trouble in the tent now?" When Yao saw that the steward was also among them, he was immediately furious.

"Madame, please be angry, the little one has no choice, the silver in the morning has been spent, the little one went to the tent to pay the account, but he refused, saying that the lady did not instruct...... How could there be such a thing, madam, it must be this kid who hides both ends and wants to benefit himself, right? The steward said angrily to Yao.

Yao's face suddenly became a little exciting. After a long time, she reluctantly said, "Yes." ”

After a while, Yao Shi reacted again: "Didn't I just give you seven taels of silver today?" Why do you want to take the silver again? Do you think I'm wronged? ”

The steward shouted loudly and said, "Madam, neither the servant nor the cell boss have a good relationship...... Seven taels of broken silver, and it's just a drizzle. ”

Yao suddenly gasped in shock.

What's going on, what kind of Yamen prison is a gold cave? Otherwise, how could it be that even seven taels of silver would be just a drizzle! Or, is the steward lying to her?
