"Xia Guan didn't know that this matter was actually implicated in the eldest princess's mansion, Lord Lao was tired of going this way, Lord Yin of our mansion was inside, and Steward Xu was invited."

Steward Xu followed the people of Shuntianfu inside, and when he turned the corner, he saw the little girl sitting in the corridor outside, shrunken and quietly staring at the fast catcher coming and going, with sadness in her eyes, but her face was calm.

Since they were taken to Shuntian Mansion, someone asked them two words, and learned that the deed of the Tongzhou mansion was now in the hands of Steward Xu of the Changsheng Academy, and the questioner's face immediately changed, and he sent several of them outside to wait, and asked people to go to the Changsheng Courtyard to ask Steward Xu to come over. For so long, people came and went under the corridor, and everyone had a serious face, as if it was written on their faces that no one should enter, and hurried past them, as if they hadn't seen them.

"Nothing will happen, will it?" Jiang Chun asked worriedly, his eyes swept over the person who walked in, and he lowered his voice and leaned into Jiang Qu's ear and said, "The deed was in our hands before, let's say that we don't know about the land, what if the adults of Shuntianfu don't believe us?" You're not going to catch us and lock us up, are you? ”

Caiyin trembled in fright when she heard this, and began to howl at the top of her throat.

Jiang Quinoa was flustered, and the people they said were frightened, and comforted with a white face: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the deed is in my hand, and even if you catch it when the time comes, you will also arrest me." When they're going to come and get me, you run away, don't get caught by them, anyway, my mother...... Well, the Jiang Mansion will always keep you, and this matter has nothing to do with you. Yes, it's none of your business. Wait a minute, no matter who asks, you don't know, do you hear? ”

Jiang Chun's eyes widened: "No, this is not what we do." They can't rely on us. This is the sin done by the horse steward, one life for another, he forced someone to die, he should pay for his life, why do you want to take the blame for him? If the adults here are incompetent, and you will be blamed for this, I just don't want to fight for this life. I won't let him arrest you. ”

Cai Yin really didn't know anything, but he also took out a rolling pin from his baggage, with a fierce face: "I also protect Miss." Don't let them bully you. ”

Steward Xu stopped and couldn't help laughing when he heard these words, what a group of children. Innocent, rustic cuteness.

"Miss Jiang, meet again."

Jiang Quinoa: They are talking. Heard someone mention her. As soon as he looked up, he saw Steward Xu of the Immortal Academy, and he immediately jumped up happily.

"Steward Xu, tell them quickly, we really don't know that the house in Tongzhou still has a title deed, and we haven't forced anyone to die, you tell them that this matter really has nothing to do with us." Jiang Chun said in a loud voice.

In the concept of the countrymen, the yamen is open to the south. If you have no reason and no money, don't come in. Although Jiang Chun said that he was bold, ordinary people still believed in this sentence. She has never entered the yamen of the small county town in her hometown, but she didn't expect that she would be lucky enough to come to the Shuntian Mansion in the capital when she came back to the capital, if this matter is usually worth her to go back and boast about, but now a careless life is about to get in, she still wants to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Okay, don't worry." Steward Xu's ears hurt from Jiang Chun's loud voice, and he hurriedly said, "I'm going to see Lord Fu Yin, and I must tell me everything I know." ”

Jiang Chun pulled Steward Xu's sleeve, and wanted him to help say a few good words, begging for mercy, and letting them out early, but Jiang Quinoa pulled him over.

"Xu Guan go in first, we'll wait here." Jiang Quinoa said softly.

The person who brought Steward Xu in frowned, and was about to reprimand him, when he heard Steward Xu say with a smile: "Miss Jiang is here for a while, I still have something to discuss with Miss Jiang." ”

When Steward Xu entered the house, Jiang Chun folded his hands and said to the south: "Hey, Bodhisattva, Buddha, I have grown so big, except for fighting with the children in the village and breaking Ah Quinoa's head, I have never done anything hurtful. ”

"Good people will be rewarded." Jiang Quinoa shook his hand.

The four of them sat in a daze under the porch boredly, and after a while, Jiang Xi finally appeared again, he wiped the sweat on his head, and asked, "Miss, the old slave wants to ask if you have been to the house in Tongzhou in the two days you have been to the capital?" ”

Jiang Quinoa didn't know what he meant by asking, so he nodded and said, "Go, we happened to be on the way when we came, so we went to the house, and we stayed in the house that night." It was also that night that the steward of the house was disrespectful and disrespectful to us, and we beat him. ”

When Jiang Xi heard this, he suddenly sweated faster.

"It's happening now." Jiang Xi said repeatedly: "The master is not here at this time, then Liu Yin just said that he robbed and killed the eldest lady on the road because the eldest lady was dissatisfied with their lack of land rent last year." He also said that in those two days, they collected rent brutally, and the eldest lady forced people to die, and the eldest lady asked them to do this, saying that the eldest lady came to Tongzhou in those two days, and if the rent could not be collected, then either those tenants died or the horse stewards did not do good things, and they would be punished. They were afraid that the eldest lady would blame them, so they persecuted the tenant farmers like that, but who knew that one accidentally forced someone to death. That's why the eldest lady still refuses to give up, and says that they will be limited to collect all the rents within a month, otherwise they will change the steward of the house. Liu Yin was angry, so he found someone to teach the eldest lady a lesson, and he didn't really want to rob and kill the eldest lady. ”

"He's him, he's fart!" Jiang Chunqi's speech stammered.

"Fucking fart, we don't know that there are still fields in Tongzhou, so how can we let them collect rent? And forced people to death, bastard stuff. Jiang Chunqi scolded.

Jiang Xi was sprayed with saliva, he silently wiped the saliva off his face with his eyelids, and said worriedly: "The problem now is that the bitter lord came to Gao Fa, and it was also said that the eldest lady asked the eldest lady to collect rent, which forced their family to death." The two days when the eldest lady went to Tongzhou were just right, and the bitter lord coupled with Liu Yin's confession is now very unfavorable to the eldest lady. ”

Jiang Quinoa's heart sank with melancholy, how did things become like this?

Jiang Shun was still sitting on the railing of the corridor, not worried about Jiang Quinoa at all. At this time, when he heard this, his face became solemn, and he came over to listen to the news that Jiang Xidi heard.

The subordinates in the Tongzhou mansion all said that they heard the eldest lady close the door and reprimand the horse steward, and soon let the subordinates who brought it over beat the horse steward. Let them all watch. Jiang Xi said worriedly, everyone's confessions pointed to the eldest lady, this matter is really difficult to get out, now that the master is not in the capital, the lady is not easy to come forward, and he has no idea.

Tongzhou's subordinates? Those who had seen each other, the faces with vague impressions suddenly became clear at this moment. One by one came to her mind.

"Where's the horse steward?" Jiang Qu raised his eyes sharply and asked.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, only to hear Jiang Qu continue: "The steward of the Tongzhou house. What about the one surnamed Ma? ”

"Even if I force them to collect rent, then I am the main culprit, and they are also accomplices, and Shuntianfu called me over. The subordinates in Tongzhou also came over and asked questions. What about him, the person who handles it? Jiang asked Quinoa.

Jiang Xi clapped his hands, "Yes, why haven't I heard a little news from him for so long, eldest lady, wait a minute, I'll inquire again." After saying that, I hurriedly went to find someone to inquire.

Seeing Jiang Xi hurrying away, Jiang Chun's face softened, and he grabbed Jiang Quinoa's sleeve: "These damn things, they should have killed him directly last time." ”

The minions who signed the death contract made mistakes and were beaten to death by their masters. As long as you go to the yamen to prepare a case, no one will pursue the general master, and nothing will happen. If you beat the horse steward directly to death last time. Maybe there really won't be any trouble now, but Jiang Qu knows that they are all talking about it, but in fact, they don't do it at all.

"If you do many things unjustly, you will be killed, and if a person like him does many evils, someone will always clean him up." Jiang Quinoa gritted his teeth and said.

……

Inside the house, Shuntianfu Yin laughed and said: "Drink tea, drink tea, this is this year's spring tea." ”

Steward Xu thought about it, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised a few words.

Shuntianfu Yin's heart is not calm at this time, a small case involves a lot of people. The house and field, which were originally rewarded by the imperial court, have not been long ago, and now there are deaths. No one wants to make a big deal about this kind of thing, as long as it is quietly solved here, I don't know how many people will remember him.

Originally, on the one hand, she was a tenant who was helpless as the bitter master, and on the other hand, she was an official lady who was rewarded by the imperial court, and if she was the master of the bitter master, she would definitely ask the guilty official lady, not to mention that the Jiang family was not good-looking, but to say that she had only been rewarded on the front foot and had such a thing on the back foot, and the court was not good-looking, and it was a lawsuit to the imperial historian.

If you don't make the master of the sufferer and suppress this matter, the sufferer will send him back to his hometown, and find a random excuse to restrict his actions, and the matter will pass. This is also his original plan, who knew that as soon as he was about to suppress the matter, someone sent a letter over, and he wanted to severely punish such a rich and unkind owner, and he must be the master of his life, so he had to ask the eldest lady of the Jiang family to come back.

A young lady from an official eunuch family grew up in the countryside of Huguang since she was a child, and she has no foundation in the capital, so he can treat this Miss Jiang to death with his hands casually, who knows that he just asked Miss Jiang to hand over all the physical evidence related to the case, especially the deed and title deed of the Tongzhou house.

"It stands to reason that the physical evidence related to the case must be stored in Shuntianfu, and when the case is understood, it will be returned to the original owner, Steward Xu, you see?" Although Shuntian Mansion Yin said that his status was higher than that of Steward Xu, he was still polite when he spoke. Who doesn't know that Steward Xu is a loyal servant of the Xu family, and has been helping the eldest princess manage all the affairs of the Changsheng Academy for many years, and at the end of the year, he will enter the palace to face the saint and personally report the operation of the Changsheng Academy this year, which is much more face-saving than many officials.

Steward Xu put down the teacup, as if he had just remembered, and said, "Why didn't Lord Fu Yin say it earlier, I haven't been to Shuntian Mansion, and I don't know the rules for handling cases here." Recently, I finally received such a valuable donation, and I asked people to send the deed to the eldest princess's mansion for the eldest princess to see. Why don't I have someone go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion and get the deed for you?" "As he spoke, he stood up and called for someone.

Shuntianfu Yin was startled, hurriedly put down the teacup, and stopped him repeatedly: "No, no, in the hands of the eldest princess, the lower officials can rest assured." There is no trial yet, and when the court needs physical evidence, I will bother Steward Xu to take out the deed. ”

Steward Xu sneered in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he sued twice for not understanding the rules of the period, and finally finished the matter, drank another cup of tea, and then got up to say goodbye.

When it came out, the sun was heading west and about to set, Steward Xu looked at the sky and said to Jiang Quinoa: "I told everything I know, but how this matter is finally decided still depends on Lord Fu Yin." ”

Steward Xu took two steps forward as he spoke, leaned over to Jiang Quino's side and whispered, "Let your family inquire about who Fu Yin has been in close contact with in the past two days." After speaking, he quickly retreated, threw himself to the ground, and said, "I am in a hurry today, and I have not thanked Miss Jiang for her generosity and donation of so much property to the Eternal Life Academy." ”

The people who led the way in Shuntianfu saw that Steward Xu was so polite to a country girl, and couldn't help but snort, as if he had a lot of ability and status, if he didn't have milk, he was a mother, and whoever gave away ideas and money was grateful to Dade, and he had no backbone at all. When Lao Tzu is developed that day, I will also donate ten taels of silver to you, so that you can call Lao Tzu uncle.

Jiang Quinoa returned the salute and signaled with her eyes that she understood.

Steward Xu smiled, Miss Jiang is really not stupid.

"Come here, our adults are going to ask questions." There was a catcher standing in the doorway, frowning and shouting at Jiang Quinoa.

Jiang Qu saluted Steward Xu, and then went back to the house.

"This is the deed of the house that the imperial court went down last time?" A richly dressed, delicate-faced, and elegantly behaved woman in the room asked, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

The person who replied lowered his head to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head after listening to the question, and replied loudly: "Yes, Steward Xu asked people to go to the Ministry of Rites to check, and it was rewarded at the end of last year, as if the will was still requested by the prince of Ming." ”

"Auntie, auntie, look what treasure I brought you." A young and handsome boy with a birdcage in his hand rushed into the house with joy.

"Zhou Yan!" The woman's face sank and she shouted.

The young man who entered the door paused, hurriedly put down the clothes tied around his waist, and stood up and saluted in a proper manner: "Auntie." ”

The woman nodded, but her face was still gloomy, and asked, "At the end of last year, did you ask for a will for a little girl in Huguang?" When did you meet her? Have you been in touch lately? ”

Zhou Yan, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, pouted and said, "What will?" What little girl in Huguang? "I don't know.

The woman's eyebrows were raised in anger. (To be continued......)
