Chapter 238: Arrest people
He knew in his heart that if he wanted to clear this charge, he had to admit that he had spread rumors and slandered Shangguan Linglong.
Anyway, this thing was asked to do by the cheap woman in Luqin, so she is the mastermind, and even if she is an accomplice at most, the big deal is that she will be beaten dozens of boards, and it is always better than the current crime of stealing.
"The bold king dared to defy the court. Come on, drag me out for 20 boards first! Zhang Guodong didn't speak when he saw that Wang Er's voice was half-loud, and directly gave him a dismount.
When the officials on both sides who had been waiting for a long time heard this, they immediately stepped forward. Prepare to tow Wang Er away.
The people outside the door pointed and pointed, and the joyful expression on their faces couldn't be hidden, this person usually followed the young masters of those rich families to bully men and women, they all dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, but now someone finally cleaned him up.
Wang Er immediately came back to his senses when he was set up, "My lord, the villain is really wronged. But the villain has something else to report! ”
When Zhang Guodong heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, originally he thought that Wang Er would be a hard bone, and if he wanted him to admit it, he would have to work hard, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Put him down, and the officer will hear what he has to say!" Zhang Guodong said.
"My lord, the villain admits that the recent rumors in Jinling City about Miss Shangguan being kidnapped by bandits are made up by the grass people! But the grass people do all this with a hard time! Wang Er said in fear.
Hearing what he said, the people outside had already been talking about it.
Some people think that Wang Er was beaten into a trick, and some people think that it is indeed a rumor spread by Wang Er, no matter how Shangguan Linglong says that she is a lady of the official family, how could she be kidnapped by bandits for no reason.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, Zhang Guodong got what he wanted, and he was naturally happy.
"It's ridiculous, Miss Shangguan's reputation is also something you can slander, hurry up and give me an honest explanation, why did you do this?" Zhang Guodong asked with a straight face.
Lu Qin originally didn't know what was going on here, but it just so happened that she suddenly became interested today, and wanted to go out and hear what those people were talking about Shangguan Linglong.
Originally, she was indeed satisfied, but by chance she heard that Zhang Guodong was opening a court to interrogate a thief.
Originally, these things had nothing to do with her, but curiosity drove her to come and watch the fun, and who knew that she actually saw her familiar face, which made her have a bad premonition.
Originally, she planned to deal with Wang Er after this matter was completed, but the Shangguan family was something she couldn't afford to provoke, and her purpose was just to ruin Shangguan Linglong's reputation.
To achieve this, she can pay any price!
At first, she saw that the person above the court was Wang Er, and she was indeed a little flustered.
But soon she stabilized her mind and hid in the crowd to watch the progress of the matter, and she desperately hoped that Wang Er would be imprisoned, preferably sentenced to death.
Seeing that things were about to go as he wished, who knew that the peak would turn around, when Wang Er said that he had other things to explain, she instinctively felt that what Wang Er said was that she instructed him to spread rumors and slander Shangguan Linglong.
She wasn't sure if what Lin Yaoxin told her was true.
If Shangguan Linglong really disappeared, then they could say whatever they wanted, and at that time, Shangguan Linglong's reputation would only fall into the dust, and he would never want to turn over.
But if Lin Yaoxin deceived her, I'm afraid her fate would be very bleak.
No matter what the final outcome is, you can't sit still.
Seeing that Wang Er was about to confess, Lu Qin secretly walked out of the crowd.
She must now go home as soon as possible to pack up the gold and silver, go out to avoid the limelight, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late!
As everyone knows, Song Xinshu has already found someone to watch her every move, and she can't escape at all.
"My lord, the villain vouched for his life, and everything he said was true. If there is any falsehood, may! Wang Er said in a panic.
He knew in his heart that if those boards really fell on him, he was afraid that his life would be lost.
"Hurry up, the officer's patience is not so good!" Zhang Guodong had a cold face, he had also seen Shangguan Linglong, he and his wife had no daughter, and they really loved Song Xinshu and Shangguan Linglong.
I didn't expect someone to want to ruin Shangguan Linglong's reputation, isn't this looking for death?
"Adult, the villain was confused by that cheap woman in Luqin, she seduced the villain and let the villain spread rumors about Miss Shangguan in Jinling City. said that after the deed is completed, he will give the villain a large sum of money to ensure that the villain will live a worry-free life for the rest of his life! Wang Er betrayed Lu Qin without hesitation, but it was just a broken shoe, and it was definitely not as important as his own life.
Zhang Guodong didn't know who Lu Qin was, but felt that the name was a little inexplicably familiar.
However, some people in the crowd watching the excitement outside showed surprised expressions, "It's that woman." It's just a Qinglou woman who robbed Miss Shangguan's fiancé before, and made a joke in Shangguan's mansion. ”
"I know what you said. But didn't the woman disappear after that time? Why are you coming out to toss moths again! ”
"Speaking of which, Miss Shangguan is really pitiful, her good fiancé was snatched away, and now that vicious woman is trying her best to ruin her reputation!"
……
For a while, the onlookers were also filled with righteous indignation, and they condemned Lu Qin and Wang Er, two extremely shameless people.
But there are still people who ask, "Why don't I think it's so simple?" If what they said was false, why didn't the Shangguan Mansion move at all? ”
"Could it be that they will allow others to insult the young lady of the Shangguan family?"
"That's right, I think it's groundless, not necessarily without cause! Maybe something really happened to the young lady of the Shangguan family! ”
For a while, everyone was puzzled, and they didn't know who to believe.
Zhang Guodong naturally noticed the movement outside, and had to sigh that Song Xin's book is like a god, and he calculates people's hearts exactly the same.
He didn't care about so much, and the most important thing at the moment was to arrest the woman named Lu Qin, "Wang Er, are you sure what you said is true?" If there is a lie, don't blame the official for being polite! ”
Wang Er didn't have any strange thoughts now, he just hoped that he could get out of here well.
"My lord, what the villain said is true, and he is willing to confront that woman in the court!" Wang Er said categorically.
Lu Qin quickly returned to the small courtyard where she lived temporarily, and packed up the gold and silver jewelry in a haphazard manner, and before she could walk out of the courtyard gate, she had already seen the official errand coming not far away, and she hurriedly closed the courtyard door.
Pacing back and forth in the courtyard alone, she never expected that the official errand would come so quickly.
What she didn't expect was that those people were not sent by Zhang Guodong at all, and in order to prevent her from escaping, Song Xinshu asked Su Qing to take people to wait there early.
"What to do? What should I do now? You must not be caught by them, or everything will really be over! Lu Qin's hands were clenched, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
However, Su Qing would not give her a chance to think more, and came to the gate of the courtyard with a menacing attitude, knowing that Lu Qin would not open the door, so he directly kicked open the courtyard door.
"Someone, search for me, you must find that woman for me!" A group of people rummaged through things in the yard, almost all over the yard, but there was no trace of Lu Qin.
Su Qing's face was very gloomy, they didn't see anyone go out at all, the woman wouldn't have wings to fly, and the person must still be in the yard.
He wandered around the yard casually, and finally landed on the inconspicuous water tank in the corner.
Originally, Lu Qin hid in the water tank in a panic, and when she heard the sound of ping-pong banging in the yard, she didn't dare to gasp, for fear that her hiding place would be exposed.
Don't dare to come out until the sound in the yard is calm!
Su Qing approached the water tank step by step, and suddenly lifted the lid as he approached.
Lu Qin stood up like a frightened bird, the whole person was wet, his clothes were attached to his body, and his delicate figure was so exposed in front of everyone, causing a group of officials to gasp, and their breathing was unconsciously tight.
Su Qing just glanced away, he already had a lady, and he couldn't look at other women, "Come on, take her away for me!" ”
Lu Qin covered his body, the whole person was shivering from the cold, he didn't expect that he was still found hiding in such a place, which can only be said to be providential.
Along the way, many people looked at them, especially those lustful men, who couldn't help but look twice when they saw such a hot body.
Lu Qin was originally a woman who laughed in the dust, originally she didn't think there was anything wrong with those eyes, but as more and more people commented on her, some of the words she said were also vulgar.
It made her feel ashamed, as if she had stripped naked for others to see.
Su Qing looked at everyone's pointing gazes, and also felt like a thorn in his back, and entered a clothing store with a cold face, and when he came out, he already had a wide cloak in his hand.
He directly threw the things in his hand to Zhang Lieyan, "Take it and put it on her." ”
The corners of Zhang Lieyan's mouth twitched, how disgusted he was with this woman, so he didn't even want to look at it.
He could only resign himself to putting on a cloak on Lu Qin, blocking those obscene eyes.
I couldn't help but compare Lu Qin with Song Xinshu, and found that there was really no comparison, and then I couldn't help but wipe my hands on my body.
Waiting is the most painful thing.
The people sent out never came back, Zhang Guodong was a little worried, afraid that Lu Qin would get the news and escape, in that case he would not be able to explain to the people.
But there was also some comfort in his heart!
