"No, no, I entered the house under a pseudonym because I had no choice but to do so, I just want to be closer to Luzhu, and I have no other selfish motives, and besides, I saved some money myself before I came to you on an errand." Brother Shun was in pain and hurriedly defended.

"Thinking about my newly married concubine, this selfishness is big enough, what more do you want?!" Yang Huaigui said, and his subordinates whipped Brother Shun with a few whips.

"Tell me, how much money you've saved?" Yang Huaigui was tired, squinting his eyes, looking at Brother Shun who was trembling in pain, the evil qi in his heart was much smoother, he liked the feeling of being high up like this at this time, this feeling made every pore very comfortable.

"Nearly ...... Nearly ten taels of silver. Brother Shun trembled, spitting and spitting, I don't know if it was painful or frightened.

"Brother Shun, you originally called this name, right? Let me ask you, what did you do for a living before you came here on an errand?" Yang Huaigui opened his eyes, ten taels of silver, for him Yang Huaigui is not a problem at all, but for a person who does rough work, it can be regarded as a big number.

"Pick and choose to sell goods." Brother Shun's voice weakened.

"A poor sour seller, can you save ten taels of silver?" Yang Huaigui stroked his palms and laughed, "I'm afraid you didn't take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to steal it from my house!" ”

"No, no." Yang Huaigui suddenly laughed and was furious, so shocked that Brother Shun only felt that his soul was about to go out of his body.

"Someone! Put them into the firewood room for me to hang first! Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the yamen to beat the drum and sue Brother Shun for stealing the property of the main family and fornicating with the concubine of the main family! Yang Huaigui was irritable when he saw Brother Shun's various justifications, and decided to wait for dawn and let the yamen deal with it.

"Yan'er." After Yang Huaigui sent away Luzhu and Brother Shun, he called the little maid Yan'er, "Yan'er, you are a great hero in this matter, I want to reward you well." You say, what do you want? ”

"Master, we are subordinates, we eat the food you appreciate, and wear the clothes you reward, so we should do things for you and contribute to you. The slave did not dare to ask for an additional reward. Yan'er fluttered and blessed, and replied in a coquettish voice.

"No, you found out that Luzhu was fornicating with someone, and you told me, that's the first work. You assisted me in setting up the game and luring the adulterer to the bait, which is the second skill. You did enough tricks in front of outsiders, and turned the arranged things into accidents, not only concealing Luan Pu'an and the third aunt of the Xue family, but also making the two of them witnesses to the arrest of rape and adultery. This is the third skill, you say, should I reward you? Yang Huaigui took Yan'er's soft little hand and kneaded it gently.

"That's the master's plan, the slave just does what the master tells me." Yan'er's face was red and her ears were red, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Say, what do you want? If you shirk it again, I really won't appreciate it. Yang Huaigui smiled evilly.

"I ......" Yan'er knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change from a slave to a master, "I want to give birth to a son for my master." Yan'er's face turned red instantly.

"Okay, give birth to a son!" Yang Huaigui laughed, picked up Yan'er and walked to the back room, "Let's give birth to a son!" Yang Huaigui's voice startled the sleeping pigeons on the roof.

The sky was bright, Yang Huaigui led the family, escorted Luzhu and Brother Shun to the gate of the Lingcheng Yamen, followed by a large number of people watching the excitement, Zhong Yan stepped forward and beat the drum to the town.

After a while, a servant ran out of it, and after asking the reason, he quickly ran to the back hall.

"Who's beating the drums outside?" As soon as Xue Bowen got up, before the button was fastened, he heard the drums outside.

"Back to my lord, Yang Huaigui and Master Yang have escorted two people." The official replied.

"Yang Huaigui?" Xue Bowen muttered in his heart, his third aunt had already made it clear what he saw in the Yang Mansion last night, and said that Luan Puan suggested that he deal with it by himself, and that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, why did he still make trouble at the gate of the yamen early in the morning?

"Come on, ascend!" Xue Bowen happened to be in the official hat and sat in the main hall.

With a sound of ascension, on both sides of the fast soap third class of officials, Xue Bowen patted the shocked wood and said: "Bring it up!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Yang Huaigui's voice outside: "Hold the two of them, wait at the door, I'll go in first!"

Yang Huaigui walked into the main hall, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Lord Xue."

"Master Yang, get up and speak." Xue Bowen smiled slightly, "Master Yang came here today, why did he come here?"

"Lord Xue, please Lord Xue be the master of the grass people, the evil servants of my family not only stole my money, but also fornicated with my new concubine." Yang Huaigui trembled with anger.

"My mausoleum city has been stable and peaceful for many years, the people are simple, the people do not close their doors at night, and the road is not left behind. Bring the wicked servant up! Xue Bowen shouted angrily, and stumbled in outside the door, a half-sized boy who was tied like a zongzi.

"My lord, wronged, wronged." Brother Shun cried and shouted that he was wronged.

"Look up. The officer asks you, what is your name? What does it do?" Xue Bowen leaned back, changed to a more comfortable position, and looked at Brother Shun condescendingly.

"The little one's name is Brother Shun, and he works as an errand in Master Yang's mansion. My lord, I really didn't steal Master Yang's money. I've been wronged. Brother Shun knelt down and took two steps forward and shouted.

"You tell the official what happened." Xue Bowen frowned slightly and interrupted Brother Shun's shouting.

"My lord, I am an old acquaintance with Lord Yang's concubine, and we made an appointment to leave the mausoleum together before she became Lord Yang's concubine, but by mistake, she was taken into the Yang Mansion by Lord Yang one step earlier, and I want to redeem her with Lord Yang. That's the way it is, my lord. Brother Shun avoided the plot of the two having an affair in the Yang Mansion.

"Redeemed? Do you know that Luzhu is the aunt and grandmother who was invited by Master Yang to invite a matchmaker and carried into the house in a sedan chair? How much money do you take and want to ransom people? Xue Bowen sneered. This kind of identity and status of inviting a matchmaker and carrying it back in a sedan chair is second only to the eldest lady of the main house, how can it be said that she will buy it.

"I ...... I have about ten taels of silver. "When it comes to ransom, Brother Shun is a little weak-hearted.

"My lord, his money was stolen from me." Yang Huaigui glared at Brother Shun viciously.

"My lord, no, I don't." Brother Shun hurriedly defended.

"Brother Shun, this official asked you, what did you do for a living before you were on an errand in Yang Mansion?" Xue Bowen asked.

"I ...... I walk the streets and sell needlework. Brother Shun had to tell the truth.

"Oh, the merchant. The official sees that you are only fourteen years old, how did you save these ten taels of silver?" Xue Bowen suddenly attacked.

"I ...... I...... This money...... Most of this money was saved by Midoritake. "Brother Shun knew that if he had saved it himself, Lord Xue would definitely not believe it.

"Someone, bring Luzhu to interrogate!" Xue Bowen was unhappy, how could more and more people be involved.

"Your Excellency." The green bamboo with a big belly was also tied up and pushed into the lobby.

"Luzhu, this official asks you, is what Brother Shun said just now a lie?"

"Nope." Luzhu lowered his head, not daring to look at Xue Bowen.

"People often say, take the thief and take the dirty, catch the adulterer and catch the double, Master Yang, you said that these two people fornicated, is there any evidence?"

"Master Xue, last night I caught the traitor, Luan Zhutou and your third aunt were present." Yang Huaigui's face was pale.

"Someone, pass on Luan's head catcher and the third aunt."

Not long after, Luan Pu'an and Aunt Xue came to the hall.

"Master Yang said that he caught the rape last night, and the two of you were there?" Xue Bowen asked.

"Yes. Present. Both replied.

"Okay, stand down." Xue Bowen sent Luan Pu'an and Mrs. Xue to retreat, and continued to ask Luzhu, "Luzhu, the matter of your affair with Brother Shun has been investigated, can you tell the difference?"

"Nope." Luzhu knew that being caught and raped in bed would not be able to escape the responsibility of fornication no matter what.

"Okay, just now Brother Shun said that most of the money he saved was given to him by you, but is there such a thing?" Xue Bowen looked at the disheveled green bamboo in front of him, and four words came out of his heart.

"Yes." So far, Luzhu has to admit it.

"Okay, this officer asks you. Where does your money come from?"

"I ......" Luzhu was in trouble, and she didn't know how to explain it.

"Okay, copy your hands and ask questions, and don't move. Come on, go to the punishment! Xue Bowen looked at Yang Huaigui Tieqing's face, and knew that if he didn't need to be punished, he wouldn't be able to be this parent official in the future.

"Yes!" The official brought the hammer, loosened the green bamboo, and took his fingers and put them in one by one.

"To say, or not to say?" Xue Bowen's cold voice startled Luzhu.

"I ......," Midoritake didn't know how to speak, "Ah! A hesitation, a heart-piercing pain came from his fingers.

"Say, where did the money come from?" Xue Bowen continued to ask.

The pain in the fingers of the "......" made Luzhu's mind confused, and she didn't hear Xue Bowen's question clearly, "Ah! The pain from his fingers again gratefully gave Green Bamboo his desire to survive," I said, I said. I secretly saved the money when I was in Linglong Pavilion! ”

"Linglong Pavilion? The food and clothing of Linglong Pavilion has always been handled by Mother Xu, where did you save the money?"

"It was my mother Zhou, who secretly asked me to fetch water, to help me sell embroidery and save money." Green Bamboo's painful voice was trembling.

"Mother Zhou? Come on, go and invite Mother Xu from Linglong Pavilion and Mother Zhou from fetching water. Xue Bowen pondered for a moment and decided that it was better to invite someone to implement it clearly.

After about a stick of incense, Mother Zhou and Mother Xu arrived at the Yamen, both of them were blessed, and said, "Lord Xue."

"The two mothers are exempt. I invited you two here today for the sake of green bamboo. Xue Bowen said with a smile.

"Green bamboo? Didn't the green bamboo let Master Yang carry it home? Mother Xu asked puzzled.

"Yes, but this green bamboo in the Yang Mansion with the subordinate fornication, the subordinate said to redeem the green bamboo, said that the money is the green bamboo in the Linglong Pavilion when the mother of Zhou quietly sold embroidery to save money, I just invited you two to ask."

"Lord Xue," Xu's mother Fu Yifu said, "Lord Xue, you know, the embroidery of the girls of Linglong Pavilion is sent to me every day, and I will send it to Yunjin Tower together to exchange for some silver for the girls to eat and drink, how can she have her own embroidery?" ”

"Mother Zhou, you say." Xue Bowen looked at Zhou's mother.
