Chapter 69: Prison
Cheng Wanyu saw Ma Mingyue almost at the same time. This kind of look is too strong, it is a kind of eyes with strong dissatisfaction and indulgence.
She didn't understand why she had led Steward Fan to take a look at her house, and why she had made this little girl hostile and defensive. At another glance, the little girl had stopped talking and laughing with others.
Cheng Wanyu thought about it, maybe she was too careful. According to the original way, he helped Steward Fan and left Xicheng lightly and shallowly on the tiles.
"Squeamish!" Ma Mingyue glanced at him and muttered, "Who is this person, what kind of lady is he who came to our side to pretend to be a lady?" ”
Ma Pozi pouted: "Isn't it the family that bought the lane, this is to take a look at the place, maybe there will be eight houses in two days." ”
Ma Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out to be just a maid. It's just a decent minion, and he really thinks of himself as a master. Thinking of this, Ma Mingyue pushed her mother and walked home with high spirits.
Cheng Wanyu came out of Xicheng and observed Steward Fan's demeanor all the way. Seeing that he sometimes frowned and sometimes pondered, he had a plan in his heart: "Manager Fan thinks it's inappropriate?" ”
Fan Zhongen nodded: "Miss this lot wants to flip the house?" Although the Cheng family is not a famous family in Huaizhou Mansion, they will not live in such a place. ”
Cheng Wanyu grinned: "Steward Fan is well-informed, didn't he ever think that one day Xicheng will change greatly and be as prosperous as Dongcheng." ”
Fan Zhongen was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully about Cheng Wanyu's words. couldn't help but be shocked: "Miss, you mean waiting to remove the Xicheng flip cover?" After speaking, he shook his head and said, "Although this is not impossible, it is a little difficult." It must have been ordered by the imperial court, or the nobles were enclosed. Otherwise, in terms of annual taxes, this is very inappropriate! ”
Cheng Wanyu smiled and said silently, and said secretly in her heart: I was reborn, and I know such a thing. However, after a few years of hard work, Xicheng has changed dramatically. Then you will admire my foresight.
The master and servant went home with their own hearts, and saw a notice posted on the wall on the street. A man and a woman are painted on it, saying that they are important criminals wanted by the imperial court.
Cheng Wanyu stepped forward to look at the painting with a ghost in her heart, although the faces of the two of them could not be seen clearly, but looking at the dress, it was Shi Jun and herself. couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and pushed the fascinate Fan Steward who was standing on the sidelines: "Let's go!" ”
Steward Fan also looked at the person on the painting familiarly, but he didn't think about it for a long time.
Cheng Wanyu wanted to report to Shi Jun, but when she thought about it, Shi Jun was afraid that she already knew and had a response at this time. Only then did she enter the house, and as soon as she entered the yard, Cheng Wanyu greeted Xiaocui. asked her to pack up her things and rush back to Donglianghe today.
For Cheng Wanyu's uncertain temperament, Xiaocui is used to it. Just as Xiao Cui was packing up her clothes, Shen Escort was setting up the carriage at the door.
The officers and soldiers in the county government quickly surrounded them, and the leader looked fierce and vicious. With a big knife on his body, he broke in majestically.
"My lord, but what happened?" Steward Fan's heart was beating wildly, and for some reason he remembered the notice posted on the city wall.
The bearded bunker snorted coldly, and looked at the Shen guard who was being suppressed and frowned. I also saw Cheng Wanyu and others who were circled together by the officials in the courtyard, especially looking at Xiaocui and Xiaohong carrying packages.
There was a gleam in his eyes: "Hmph, where are you going to go here?" ”
Fan Zhongen made a sneering flattery: "If you go back to adulthood, we are from the Cheng family in Donglianghe." This one is the young lady of our family, and the younger ones are preparing to go back to Donglianghe to visit the old lady who is unwell. ”
The bearded man shouted: "Nonsense, obviously trying to escape." ”
Cheng Wanyu steadied herself and raised her head as if she didn't know anything. Qingli said: "Dare to ask your lordship, since you brought people to surround and suppress us." But because what mistakes did we make? Did the little girl go home and break the law? ”
The bearded man looked at the woman who was in the middle of the crowd, although she looked beautiful with her head combed. Could it be that she is the owner of the anonymous report? That is, the woman on the notice?
"Since you are from Donglianghe, why are you here?" The bearded man can see clearly that Cheng Wanyu is combing her hair accessories today that are indeed married women. There is no man in this family, and his appearance is suspicious.
Fan Zhongen immediately stepped forward and briefly explained Cheng Wanyu's situation. When the bearded man heard that Cheng Wanyu was a woman who had been separated from a single woman, his brows furrowed even more. His eyes changed from suspicion just now to disdain now.
He is a man, and in his thoughts, if it weren't for this woman's bullying, he wouldn't let the man reconcile. Even if you don't like women anymore, it's a shame to divorce your wife and divorce.
When I saw Cheng Wanyu, I didn't like it, just when the two sides were deadlocked. A servant ran over with a bloody dagger, and his eyes widened when he saw the dagger's beard.
Cheng Wanyu didn't expect why this inexplicable dagger would appear under her bed.
Later, everyone was pushed and shoved by the officials to the county office, and when they arrived at the county office, Cheng Wanyu figured out that Shi Jun's crime was actually selling illicit cigarettes.
This is a great crime, and if caught, it is a death sentence. Cheng Wanyu never dreamed that she would be really caught by someone who was unlucky.
The arrest of the people and the interrogation of them separately does not matter. At the time of the crime, all of them had alibi evidence. Cheng Wanyu alone has no evidence, saying that she went to the mountains and valleys, but no one believed it.
Someone had already given money to Hanako and asked him to go to the shop to deliver a letter. What was written in the anonymous letter was that Cheng Wanyu was not in the house on which day and day, and she looked very similar to the person on the notice. Coupled with the bloody dagger found under Cheng Wanyu's bed, the case was quickly decided.
The people of the Cheng family were dumbfounded, and the eldest lady became a female prisoner selling illicit cigarettes. When this matter reached Donglianghe, their group of people must be dead.
Steward Fan knew that Shi Jun had to be informed of this, but the young lady followed him at the beginning. Now that something has happened, he must be allowed to stand up and say something. But if he came out, Miss's reputation would be ruined.
After thinking about it, Fan Guan filmed Shen in advance to escort Shen to Beiyuan to find Shi Jun to report the news. Let Yang Escort take the money around the yamen and make some points, and Xiaocui and the others stay at home to wait for news. He was quick to go back to Donglianghe to find someone to save his life.
It took five or six hours to ride a horse from Huaizhou Mansion to the middle of the Dongliang River at the earliest, and Steward Fan almost broke the horse whip this time.
Finally arrived at the door of Cheng's house, and Steward Fan's horse pounced on his knees and began to foam.
The little guy at the door was also shocked when he saw this situation, and instinctively felt that something was wrong at home.
Steward Fan rushed directly into the backyard and dragged the rich man Cheng out of Gentle Township. didn't care about the snow-white soft meat in the quilt, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
The rich man Cheng was listening to a little song with his newly bought concubine Meizizi in his arms, and he was coldly dragged out of the bed.
Pulled directly from the inner room to the outer room, and despite his bare buttocks, he saw the man fall to his knees.
Looking more closely, it was actually Fan Zhongen in Huaizhou Mansion, and his heart suddenly became entangled. understands that if something big hadn't happened, he wouldn't have been a bastard to this point.
I suddenly thought that my baby Gada was still in the city. Suddenly frightened, he was clever, and said, "What's wrong with my little girl?" Are you dead? ”
This sentence scared me half to death, and I saw Fan Zhongen's embarrassed face. Cheng Da Rich Man stretched out his hand anxiously and slapped him: "You said it!" ”
Fan Zhongen was slapped in the face, but he didn't move, but whispered: "Old lady, the eldest lady was arrested by the government!" ”
When the rich man Cheng heard this, he pounced and sat on the ground. Pity his almost sixty-year-old body, and almost broke the root of his tail.
Fan Zhongen immediately stepped forward to help him, and the rich man Cheng gasped and raised his head to see the newly bought little beauty wrapped in clothes, looking at it with big eyes and smuggling.
He frowned, pointed to the clothes on the ground and said to Fan Zhongen: "Dress me, let's go to the study and talk carefully." ”
In the conference hall of Cheng Jianuo, Cheng Da frowned and listened to Fan Zhongen talk about the past two days.
And the room was not full of all the men of the Cheng family, and the rich man Cheng only called his eldest son Cheng Bozhi, his third son Cheng Shuzhi, his fourth son Cheng Jizhi, and his sixth son Cheng Huizhi.
Cheng Bozhi is the next generation of family heads, so he should know about this big thing. The third son, Cheng Shuzhi, is the only scholar in the Cheng family, and his temperament is also stable and steady. The fourth son, Cheng Jizhi, is good among the crowd, and he has more friends in the rivers and lakes. The sixth son, Cheng Huizhi, was ruthless and cunning, and didn't want to call him. But Old Man Cheng knew that the last time his daughter came back, he discussed with him alone what business to do.
After listening to Fan Zhongen's report, the man of the Cheng family fell into deep thought.
Cheng Bozhi was the first to stand up and speak for his sister: "This thing is obviously fake, how can my little sister have the ability to sell smuggled salt?" Don't talk about her, even the sixth child doesn't have the ability to do this! ”
A sentence took Cheng Huizhi out, and the latter's eyes were slightly moved. At this time, the eldest brother did not forget to pull him. If it were someone else, he would definitely bite him at this time.
"What's going on with that cottage? How did the two of them get together? Did the old eight do it? "Old Si Cheng Ji Zhi lost his face, it is really hateful for someone to secretly want to touch his sister.
"That's it! That's not the point! Cheng Huizhi's cold voice sounded, and he raised his head to look at everyone: "Why is it so coincidental, the little sister has been out to play for two days, and it happened that she posted a notice saying that someone was selling illicit cigarettes and escaping." Then Steward Fan followed the little sister to Xicheng to see the shop, and when she came back, she was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers. ”
Fan Zhongen's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a key: "That day, someone found a dagger under the young lady's bed, and there was blood on it. I heard the head catcher say that it was so. ”
Cheng Huizhi immediately sat up straight, frowned and thought about it. Suddenly turned his head and said to his father with a black face: "Dad, someone has set this trick." It's clearly for us, and my little sister ate it and scraped it off! ”
