() When Qin Niang arrived at Jingzhao Yin Yamen, Mama Tao and Tang Wan were already there, she glanced at Tang Wan and hooked her lips, it seems that everyone who should come has come.

"See Master Lee."

"Young Lady Gu is here, then let's start." Li Mu sat on the top and glanced at the few people below, except for Mama Tao, who was running on the ground, the rest of the people were standing, "Who kneel, report your name, what grievances do you have, you can come together." ”

After Mama Tao got the order, she told her all about how Tang Wan was assigned to set up a bureau in Baoling Temple to destroy Qin Niang's innocence, and at the end, she burst into tears: "My lord, my child is now injured and lying in bed with no money for treatment, if I really stole Miss Tang's jade cicada, which is worth a lot of money, then why don't I exchange it for some silver to treat my child?" Even if everyone in this city recognizes that it is Miss Tang's belongings, I can always exchange some silver coins when I go out of the city, right? ”

"It's not like this, with the child lying on the bed, watching it get worse and worse, and I don't have any law."

"Master Li, since Miss Tang said that the piece of jade was lost long before I left the city, why didn't I just run away with the child? You didn't notice me when I came back from the temple, I believe that if I want to leave, there will always be a way to get out, so why did I follow Mrs. Gu Shao to Baoling Temple? ”

"If it weren't for Miss Tang's affair being exposed, then why would she want to hold me and silence me, if she hadn't taken someone to arrest me, how could she hurt my child? Could it be that I'm a subordinate, at the foot of this Son of Heaven, in the capital under the jurisdiction of Lord Li, will I still encounter robbers? ”

After Mama Tao finished speaking, she knocked heavily on the ground and shouted angrily: "Please also ask the adults to find out the truth as soon as possible and save my child, I am willing to accept the guilt, but my child is innocent, my lord!" ”

I have to say that Mama Tao's sad accusation has won a bit of emotion and sympathy from the presiding judge before the case is clear, as she said, if she really stole the jade cicada, where would she not be able to exchange it for money? There are always people who don't know the goods, and they can't recognize that it is Tang Wan's thing, but they can see that it is a valuable thing, and they will give her some silver.

With money, she could have escaped from the city with her children, even if the deed was pressed? If she finds a place in the countryside, who can find her? Who would really go to the expense of a slave to get her back?

Anyway, according to the Gu family's wealth and style, it is impossible to do such a thing that costs the people and money.

What's more, people now really have a child lying in bed, if she really has something valuable, she would have changed the money to buy medicine, where is the need to run here to throw herself into the net?

"You talk nonsense!" Tang Wan's maidservant Langyue suddenly turned red with anger, and pointed at Mama Tao and said, "Obviously, you have a grudge in your heart, you want to stay in the Tang family, my girl didn't agree, you stole her jade cicada and blamed her, you did bad things in her name, and now you still have the face to come here to shout wrongs, if my girl hadn't reported to the official in advance, I'm afraid that your piece of jade would have been lost a long time ago." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Mama Tao raised her tearful face, pointed at her and said hatefully, "I have heard of your master before

Ruthless and unrighteous, the rumors of the moon at the beginning caused a storm in the city, she didn't push people out without saying a word, and even when she was exiled from the city, she didn't see her show her face to send a pass, you are now helping her reverse black and white, be careful that one day you will end up like this. ”

What Mama Tao said, not only made Langyue's heart tremble, but she still can't let go of the matter of reflecting the moon, they all grew up with Tang Wan since childhood, everyone knows what Tang Wan is in the Tang family, if it is not for their loyal servants to protect her, where will she have the opportunity to grow to such a point?

However, she is a little bad at doing things, and she is still not beating or scolding, although they are slaves, but they are also human beings, although they do not ask how good the master can treat them, but at least don't push them out as soon as there is something, their loyalty, but also want to exchange for a little protection from the master, not disgusted.

"Mama Tao, that incident was Yingyue's fault, my girl warned her in advance, she was greedy and drunk and talked nonsense with others, can this also blame my girl? Besides, my girl has personally come to apologize, so you don't have to pull all that mess, just say that in front of you, did you steal my girl's jade cicada. After being confused for a moment, she quickly suppressed those emotions again, she looked at Mama Tao and asked sharply.

Mama Tao looked at her and suddenly laughed, the kind of laughter with tears in her eyes was very unbearable.

Qin Niang took in the emotional fluctuations that flashed in Langyue's eyes, and immediately looked at Li Mu in the first place and said, "Master Li, did Miss Tang say that her piece of jade cicada has not been found yet?" ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise, the official would not have to personally guard the city gate and wait for someone to be taken." ”

Qin Niang hooked her lips, this Tang Wan is really a big shelf, she is just a small businessman who lost a piece of broken jade, and she wants to move the parents of the capital to personally take the guards to guard the city gate to arrest people, others don't know, and they think they are arresting some kind of heinous person.

Presumably, when she told Li Mu about the origin of the jade, she exaggerated the facts, otherwise, how could the dignified parents and officials of the capital, who is also the third-grade Dayuan of the imperial court, be so nervous for an ordinary piece of jade.

After all, it's just a thief, and it's worth him to go out and bring someone to catch him?

It's a joke.

"But the first day in the Baoling Temple, so many people saw it, Mama Tao took out the jade cicada, and returned it to her, Mrs. Li Shao was also present at the time, Lord Li can pass her to ask and know, the presiding abbot of the Baoling Temple also saw with his own eyes, the jade cicada was indeed returned to her after the incident that night, she also claimed to have been stolen at the time, why, she found the jade cicada now and didn't tell Lord Li?"

Qin Niang lowered her head and smiled, her voice was not in a hurry, but every word was describing a fact, that is, no matter whether Tang Wan's jade cicada was really stolen or fake, in short, that night a few days ago, in front of everyone's eyes, the piece of jade had been returned to her.

Now that so many days have passed, her jade cicada has been recovered, and she has not informed the government, making him a three-grade master of the imperial court, like a fool, and personally ran to the city gate with so many people

Mouth to block people.

If this matter is verified, then Tang Wan is suspected of teasing the official government, and she wants to eat the board.

"My daughter-in-law has told the official about this matter since she came back, and the jade cicada was indeed returned to Miss Tang, so what does Miss Tang have to say? Didn't you deliberately come to entertain your own officials? Although Li Mu asked politely, everyone could see that he was a little displeased.

Because, obviously the piece of jade cicada has been lost, but she is still shouting all over the city to arrest people, is she really going to catch the thief, or is it really as the defendant said, for her own selfish desires, she wants to arrest people to vent her anger?

However, if she wanted to vent her personal anger, she quietly did it, and she had to go to his yamen to report the case, and she wanted to carry him and a Jingzhao Mansion Yin to accompany her to vent her personal anger.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Tang Wan.

Tang Wan knew that if she couldn't tell her about it today, she was afraid that the parent official in the hall would really take her strictly, after all, the majesty of the government was not to be provoked.

Tang Wan stepped forward to salute Li Mu, and then said in a soft voice: "Lord Li, I did lose a piece of priceless jade cicada, but it was not the piece that Mama Tao took out in Baoling Temple that day, so even if the piece of jade cicada returned to me later, I did not report it to Lord Li, because what I reported to the official was not the piece that I saw in Baoling that night." ”

"When I reported to the official, I also blamed me for being anxious, I didn't tell you the specific characteristics of the jade, I only told you that it was a gift from the nobles during the Taizu period, and there could be no mistakes, which caused the trouble of Lord Li, and the folk girl apologized to the adults here, before this person left from my house, she not only stole a piece of jade from me, but she also took away a lot of things, but the folk girl felt that those things outside the body were not worth pursuing, but the ancestral jade was too precious, so I came to report to the official."

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Wan, a flash of clarity flashed in her eyes, she really exaggerated the origin of that piece of jade, but she didn't keep it, this Tang Wan was really clever and eloquent, and at this time, she said that the piece of jade she lost was not the piece of jade that everyone saw in Baoling Temple, she really thought everyone was a fool!

Moreover, as far as Tang Wan's family background is concerned, will there be a treasure given by a nobleman? Then how could their Tang family allow such a thing to be in her Tang Wan's hands? I'm afraid that she was sold by her lazy father for money in the early years, where can she keep it today?

"You talk nonsense! Tang Wan, aren't you afraid of retribution if you open your eyes so much and talk nonsense? When did I steal your stuff? Don't do bad things and throw dirt on others! As soon as Mama Tao heard her full of nonsense, she was immediately very angry, and roared with exhaustion, "You yourself love Gu Gongzi, you can't ask for it, you want to use the means to destroy Mrs. Gu Shao, so that you can replace her, and after the matter is revealed, you are in a hurry to plant the charge on my head." ”

"Tang Wan, if I want to die today, I will also take you to compensate for the funeral!"

Mama Tao's eyes were split, and her tearful accusation really scared Tang Wan, although she tried her best to maintain peace on her face, she was also very afraid that the other party's dog would jump off the wall and suddenly pounce on her.
