Chapter 173: Divine Decree
"Fake...... Fake! This deed of sale is fake! β
Qin Yu rushed over and was about to snatch the deed of sale in Mengbao's hand.
Without waiting for the guards around Mengbao to make a move, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Terracotta Division flew up and kicked him out.
"Presumptuous! Are you going to rob other people's property in front of your own officials? β
The commander-in-chief raised his eyebrows and shouted.
Qin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and looked at the deed of sale with red eyes.
"Impossible...... No way! Take a good look, sir! The deed of sale must be fake! β
How could he be sold into slavery! How could he have become a slave!
That was Master's most proud protΓ©gΓ© during his lifetime! That's the one who can make a windbreaker!
How could such a person become a slave!
"Yes," the woman spoke again: "My lord, take a good look, this deed of sale is like a fake, and it has been reported in the government." β
Meng Bao said and handed over the deed of sale to the commander-in-chief, then looked at Qin Yu and continued: "You said that Sang Zi stole the property of Qilan Mountain, and then used these property to open this shop, that means that he stole at least 20,000 taels worth of things, right?" β
"But when I met Sangzi in Bei'an City a few months ago, he was penniless and destitute, and he almost fainted from hunger on the street, if he really stole so much property, how could he be in such a difficult situation?"
"How can such a difficult person come all the way from Qilan Mountain to Bei'an, and from Bei'an to the capital, and also open a shop on Zhuque Street?"
Qin Yu had just been caught off guard by the deed of sale, and now his mind was blank when he was asked a stack of questions by the woman.
"This shop is obviously his...... This shop is obviously his ......"
He muttered under his breath.
The elder brother has inquired again and again. The lord also showed them the documents of this shop with their own eyes, and confirmed that they were looking for this person, and the documents written at that time were obviously Qin Sang's name!
"You and Sang Zi haven't seen each other for months, why did Fang insist that he opened this shop as soon as they met today?"
The woman's voice rang out again.
It was a beautiful voice that would have sounded very pleasant on a normal day, but now it sounded like he only felt a tingling in his scalp.
"Is it because he's standing in front of my shop that he can open it? If it's a random guy standing here today, or someone you don't know at all, do you think they opened this shop? β
"Why hasn't my shop opened yet, and you are sure that Mulberry is the owner of this shop? Where did you get the news? What is the purpose of this inquiry? You say! You say! β
You say......
Say!
Say!
No.
No.
Can't say!
Do you say you've read the paperwork in advance? Do you say that you are here today to snatch the person of Mulberry and this shop?
How can this be said!
"Sangzi stole 20,000 taels of property from Qilan Mountain, why can't he even afford a meal? You say! β
"He couldn't afford to eat even a meal. How can you afford to open a shop on Suzaku Street? You say! β
The woman didn't give him a respite at all. He asked in a loud voice.
Belongings?
Silver?
A burst of anger suddenly rose in Qin Yu's heart.
Swindler! Swindler!
"He has the method of cracking the Wind Breaking Crossbow in his hand, and there are so many delicate mechanisms, how can he be short of silver!"
"Wind Breaker?"
The woman repeated with a slight hesitation, and turned her head to look at the white young man who had been standing behind her for half a step and was silent.
"Mulberry. What kind of windbreaker would you do what he said? β
Mulberry nodded: "Yes." Miss. β
"That's ......"
Monembo muttered.
"What to pretend!"
Qin Yu shouted: "Aren't you opening this shop just to use the Wind Breaking Crossbow to make money!" Aren't you just going to use the Wind Breaker to attract everyone's attention! The method of cracking the master's painstaking research. but to be used by this wicked man for his own benefit! Qin Sang! Aren't you afraid of retribution? β
"Listen to what you say, that thing called the Wind Breaker is very profitable, isn't it?"
Mengbao asked.
"The treasure of Qilan Mountain, even the imperial court wants to get something! The value is immeasurable! Now they will be defiled and trampled on by you merchants! It's really insulting to my name of Qilan Mountain! β
Qin Yu was indignant.
"That's weird." Meng Bao said: "I have never heard of such a thing, and I have never wanted to make a profit from it, why do you insist that I want to use this Wind Breaking Crossbow to make money?" β
"Isn't your shop a carpenter? Isn't it necessary to use Qin Sang's craftsmanship to do carpentry! What Qin Sang is best at is the Wind Breaking Crossbow! How could you have let go of this opportunity! β
The corners of Mengbao's lips hooked again: "My shop hasn't opened at all, you just passed by me today, and you didn't even go in to take a look, how do you know that I am here to do carpentry?" β
Qin Yu was stunned, and his eyes suddenly panicked.
The woman's disdainful sneer rang out, not hiding her sarcasm in the slightest.
"Next time, before you want to frame someone, please do your homework first."
"I didn't!"
Qin Yu argued loudly, but he couldn't say anything other than these pale and weak words.
There was a low voice of discussion in the crowd, no longer as excited as when they were instigated before, and if you listen carefully, you will find that most of the people no longer believe the words of Qin Yu and the others.
After all, the deed of sale of Sangzi is there, if this person really steals so much property, or intends to use that wind-breaking crossbow to make a profit, how can he be reduced to the point of becoming a subordinate.
"You ......"
"You don't apologize!"
The woman's voice, which was still full of laughter just now, suddenly became cold, and even if she couldn't see her expression clearly, she could know that she must be frowning and her eyes wide now.
"You...... You dream! β
Qin Yu and the others glared angrily.
"My lord," Mengbao turned to the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on the side: "I want to send them to see the official!" β
"Why are you! Why did you send us to the official! β
Several people shouted with their heads up.
"Because you slandered my people on the street, and because you also injured my subordinates!"
"We don't!"
Qin Yu shouted again. Raising the arm that was still intact and pointing at the mulberry: "He is obviously standing there well!" Where did we hurt him! β
Not only did they fail to hurt him, but he himself broke a hand!
Mengbao looked back at Sangzi: "Sangzi, do you have a headache?" β
Mulberry snorted: "It hurts." β
"Look, he has a headache, you must have knocked him down just now, so, you hurt him!"
"You fart!"
Qin Yu was so angry that he couldn't care about anything else, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "You are a splash ......"
With a pop, a pebble flew out of nowhere and pierced his cheeks, and he covered his face with a scream and bent down. Blood gushed down his fingers.
But the speed of the stone was too fast. Almost no one saw what was happening, and everyone only knew that he was about to curse when he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his already blue and swollen cheeks were even more terrifying.
The commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Terracotta Division breathed a deep sigh of relief, knowing that this person was speechless. The young lady beside him should end there. I won't ask to confront him in the street anymore.
"Young lady. You see......"
"And him!"
The woman's fingers suddenly changed direction, pointing to the deputy commander, who had already collapsed to the ground and didn't dare to say a word.
"I'm going to sue him too!"
"Young lady!"
The commander-in-chief almost bit his tongue in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Young lady! You have just arrived in Beijing. It's better to be low-key in life, it's better to have more things here than one thing less, and leave a way out for others in everything, but also leave a way out for yourself. β
Mengbao laughed in a low voice: "The commander-in-chief is wrong to say this, everyone else is going to force me into a dead end, and I have to leave him a way out, isn't it that I have to force myself to death?" β
"That mulberry is just a subordinate! Young lady, why do you ......?"
"I'm going to sue him for dereliction of duty! Defy the laws and discipline of the imperial court! β
The woman, who was still talking in a low voice just now, suddenly pointed at the deputy commander and said in a loud voice, with undoubted anger in her voice.
The commander-in-chief made his face pale, his back molars were clenched, and he secretly shouted in his heart that this woman didn't know what to do.
Today's events could have been turned into big things and small things, if she was angry, it would be a big deal for him to punish these people from Qilan Mountain, but it really didn't work, even if he disposed of the master of Qilan Mountain behind him.
But if she is involved in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it will inevitably involve the person standing behind the deputy commander, and the first link will involve the punishment of the shopper
The most important thing is that these things are all involved by the deputy commander, and the deputy commander is his subordinates! At that time, the worst thing is their five-city soldiers and horses! It's probably not pleasing anywhere!
The deputy commander lying on the ground originally thought that Mengbao was just saying that it was impossible for her to really do this with her own Shangfeng by her side.
But now it seems...... Is this woman real?!
"You...... Why are you! β
He opened his mouth with two front teeth open, and said as clearly as he could.
"Qin Yu and the others lingered in front of my cute pet pavilion for a long time, and they also injured my subordinates, and the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were delayed. You, the deputy commander, belatedly listened and believed without asking the reason, but shielded the hurting people! Even throw the injured into jail! Such acts are not worthy of being an official! Unworthy of the position of guarding the capital! β
"I'm going to accuse you of complicity with the hurters! Bullying the people! I'm going to sue you for abuse of power! Lead the crowd to besiege the people of my cute pet pavilion! β
As soon as these words came out, the officials lying on the ground almost didn't cry on the spot.
Siege?
Who is besieging whom!
"Young lady!"
The commander-in-chief said patiently: "Even if they are at fault, don't forget, after all, you led people to beat the court officials!" β
The woman under the hood smiled again: "So, my lord, take us to the yamen together, I confess my sins, and their sins...... Don't even want to run! β
The commander-in-chief gasped on the spot, he didn't expect her to dare to do this! She actually went out for a subordinate!
This...... This is a passing hall!
"Are you serious?"
He gritted his teeth and asked, hoping that the woman would stop in moderation and give up this crazy idea.
Unexpectedly, the woman nodded: "Really!" β
Damn it!
What a damn one!
"Good! Since ......"
A noise was heard in the distance, and the crowd in the distance was driven away, and they all retreated and avoided.
"Holy Decree! The Divine Decree is coming! β
Someone exclaimed, and then hurriedly kept silent, for fear of colliding with this group of court people.
The people gathered in front of the cute pet pavilion also hurriedly dispersed and gave way to the road, and the originally congested road was immediately unimpeded.
"Where is this going?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter where he is, it's not for you anyway!"
Someone said in a low voice.
In the whispered discussion of everyone, the father-in-law who announced the decree actually stopped in front of the cute pet pavilion.
This is...... This is to ......
The commander-in-chief's heart sank, and he hurriedly fell to his knees.
The chamberlain in front of him is the most trusted Gonggong Liu beside Emperor Zhao of the Holy Emperor today, and he personally announced the decree, which shows the importance of this holy decree.
Gonggong Liu first smiled at Mengbao with a hat, and then smiled at the mulberry beside him, and then raised his voice and said: "The craftsman of the cute pet pavilion accepts the order." β
Cute pet pavilion craftsman?
The decree has always been a certain place and a certain house, when will it be said who is the craftsman in which shop?
The commander-in-chief felt a little suffocated in his heart, and he only felt a little suffocated.
Because they didn't know that there would be a holy decree coming suddenly, the cute pet pavilion was unprepared, and everyone hurriedly prepared the incense case to receive the decree.
Gonggong Liu watched them move with a smile, not in a hurry, as if he could wait patiently no matter how slow they moved.
It was not until the incense case was prepared that he read the decree.
Emperor Dezhao praised Sang Zi in the holy decree, pointing out that the strength of the "Wind Crossbow" he made was strong, and it was several times stronger than the Wind Breaking Crossbow, and there was the wind of the ancestor of Qilan Mountain, etc., etc., and finally gave a lot of shining rewards, which were piled up in front of the cute pet pavilion.
After the decree was read, Mengbao asked Mo Chou to send Liu Gonggong in person.
Gonggong Liu was not in a hurry, and said to Mengbao with a smile: "When the slave left the palace, she was entrusted by the queen's mother, and she asked you to go to the palace to sit with her when you were free." It just so happens that two days later, there will be a chrysanthemum banquet in the palace, and the young lady will have to enter the palace to talk to her mother. β
Mengbao was very inexplicable in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he nodded with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, and ask father-in-law to tell the mother on your behalf, the concubine will definitely go at that time." β
"That's good, that's good."
Gonggong Liu turned around with a smile.
"These people are ......"
He seemed to have only seen the deputy commander with a blue nose and swollen face at this time, as well as Qin Yu and the others, and frowned and asked.
The commander-in-chief hurriedly stepped forward, but he was squeezed by someone as soon as he moved, and when he stood up and wanted to speak again, he saw that a guard beside Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingnan had already come to Gonggong Liu's side and whispered something.
Gonggong Liu's brows furrowed more and more, and finally he nodded and glanced at the commander-in-chief: "Then this place will be handed over to the adults, and the adults will quickly bring these people back for interrogation, it is not decent to stay on the street like this." β
As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and this finger pointed Qin Yu and the deputy commander and others into it.
"Father-in-law Liu, that ......"
The commander-in-chief was about to speak, but he saw Gonggong Liu look at the lady of Dingnan Hou Shizi who was wearing a hat with a smiling face.
"Don't forget the young lady in two days, the queen is waiting for you in the palace!"
This is not so much for Mengbao, but specifically for the commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief didn't understand the slightest, and his open mouth couldn't spit out half a word, and he watched him walk away......
