Chapter 461 Trial
"Girl, since you know that I used to be the slave of the Lu family, and know some things about the Lu family, then you must not have come to let me harm the Lu family, you save my child, I beg you, as long as you save my child, I will not be threatened by them anymore, I beg you......"
The woman knelt down a few steps, tugging at the corner of Qin Niang's skirt and pleading.
Qin Niang looked at her face deeply, and didn't see any fraud on her face.
"You go back to the carriage, and when you enter the palace, you have to tell the truth, whether the Shan family and the Lu family are married, you know best in your heart, if you help the Shan family lie, it is a bully, and when Your Majesty becomes angry, it will not be a matter of your son's life, you have to think clearly."
Qin Niang looked at her face and turned a little whiter after hearing the word "bully", she sighed, and added: "I promise you, try your best to save your child, Shan Changfeng's eldest son Shan An is in my hands, I can always force out some whereabouts, but if you bully the king, no one will be able to save you, you have to figure it out yourself." ”
Qin Niang didn't say much more, she looked up at Liuying, Liuying understood, and immediately carried the person down, avoiding the crowd, and quickly sent the person back to the carriage.
As soon as the Shadow left, the coachman returned.
The coachman was afraid that someone had taken the people in the carriage away, and the first thing he did when he came back was to lift the curtain and look inside, and he was relieved to find that the people were still there.
"Miss, are we going to judge Shan An?" Qiu Tao asked.
Qin Niang nodded: "Let's go, go find Shan An." ”
Regardless of whether Shan An knows the whereabouts of Haitang's son, since the father and son dare to go back to Beijing to make such a big fuss, they are not afraid of bullying the king and cutting off their heads, which shows that the father and son have at least reached a consensus.
There is always nothing wrong with the trial.
The three of them left the courtyard of the deserted courtyard and set off in the direction of the palace of Changle County.
After detaining Shan An in Yang's mansion that day, Qin Niang asked Yang Hong to transfer people out of the mansion, so as not to make trouble for Shan An in front of the palace, in case the emperor really sent someone to Yang's house to search for people, then it would be difficult to argue.
After that, Yang Hong transferred the person to the backyard of the wine shop only one lane away from the palace of Changle County, and Rao is Shan Changfeng would not have thought that people were locked up so close to the palace of Changle County.
This liquor shop is not opened by a native from Donglin, so even if the king of Changle County investigates it, he can't find the source, and it is really safe to keep people here.
"Miss, it's here." Qiu Xue parked the carriage next to the door of the wine store and picked up the curtain road.
Qin Niang looked out through the curtain and saw a very exotic wine shop standing in front of her.
Xiao Er, who solicited business at the door, was also wearing a foreign costume, which looked unique.
This shop has been open in the capital for many years, and the taste of the food is very different from that in the capital, many people can't accept it at first, but after a long time, they feel that it is good to change the taste occasionally, and the business here gradually improves.
Qin Niang got out of the carriage and led the two girls to the wine shop, and Xiao Er greeted them warmly: "Few, do you want to drink or eat?" The shop has just developed a new dish two days ago, and it tastes very good, and the guests who have come here have to order it in the past few days, and some of them even came over to pack it and eat it home. ”
In order to attract business, the shopkeeper reported all the signature dishes in the store, and led them inside: "If a few people think it's too noisy outside, there is a private room upstairs in the shop, and there are fewer people at this time, and the private room is still empty." ”
This store also does not accept reservations, it is a first-come, first-served position, the boss is more casual, and he does not show his face much all year round, and he has invited the shopkeeper and his buddies to take care of it here.
"What about your shopkeeper?" Qin Niang asked, "You tell him that there is a person surnamed Yang looking for him." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the inner hall to invite someone.
After a few moments, a man who looked to be in his early thirties walked out, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, he was not from Donglin at first glance, and he was wearing a more special costume than the shopkeeper.
"Miss Yang, is that it? Please come with me. The man stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, leading Qin Niang and his party through the inner hall and to the backyard, and said as he walked, "Presumably Miss Yang is here to see that person, and Master Yang has explained to me, if Miss comes, lead Miss directly there." ”
Qin Niang said gratefully: "There is a shopkeeper Lao." ”
The man shook his head and said: "My friendship with Yang Dagongzi, where can I say thank you, besides, it's just to provide a place, and the people in the government want to check, but they can't find me here." ”
The man led Qin Niang into the back kitchen, sent everyone in the kitchen out, and ordered people to guard outside, he lifted a board on the ground, jumped down first, and asked, "Does the young lady want to bring people up for trial, or go down to trial herself?" ”
Qiu Tao stretched her neck and glanced down, and said, "Miss, it's dark inside, there won't be any danger, right?" ”
Qiu Xue took the lead: "Let the slave go down first to see the situation." "Ranwen
Qin Niang shook her head and said to the shopkeeper who was half exposed outside: "The shopkeeper will lead the way, we will judge it inside." ”
What if the wall has ears?
Now that people are below, it must not be so easy to transmit the voice, so she will go down to interrogate.
Besides, Yang Hong's friend must be trustworthy, he can put people here, so what is she worried about?
The shopkeeper saw that she was so cheerful, speaking and doing things so neatly, and suddenly his eyes couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation.
At first, when he heard that a woman surnamed Yang came to him, he guessed that it was Yang Hong's sister, but in his impression, women are the kind of delicate people who can't do anything but cry.
Therefore, after Yang Hong told him that once his sister came over, he would do what she asked, and he was still a little unconvinced, they had always looked down on women, and felt that women were only suitable for hiding at home and giving birth.
"In that case, then Miss Yang has to follow." The shopkeeper didn't say anything more, and walked into the basement first.
Qin Niang followed and walked down, and when she walked down a few steps, she realized that this basement was not small at all, and could accommodate dozens of people, which was in stark contrast to the narrow entrance.
"Miss Yang, isn't it strange that I, a businessman, have such a big basement in the kitchen of my shop?" As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, he saw Qin Niang's curious look, and he couldn't help but ask.
Qin Niang nodded subconsciously.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "In our Beihu, the weather is cold, so those vegetables and fruits must be stocked up in advance, so as not to have no vegetables to eat in winter, which is not better than the climate in the east, and there are vegetables to eat all year round." ”
Qin Niang knows, want to put a basement in their own shop has become a habit of their Beihu people, now Beihu is a small subsidiary country in the east, the two countries are naturally close to each other, business is also infiltrated by each other, this shopkeeper must also like it very much, otherwise it would not be in the capital for many years.
Shan An has been imprisoned for a few days, where is there still the appearance of that middle-aged scribe at the beginning?
He was embarrassed and shrunk in the corner at the moment, the basement was originally dark, because the shopkeeper led the three of Qin Niang's master and servant in, the door of the basement opened, and the light from the outside leaked in, illuminating the originally dark place instantly.
Hearing the movement, Shan An suddenly raised his head and looked at a few people on the steps.
In the next moment, he jumped up and shouted, "Aren't you the girl from the Yang family?" Let me out! It is illegal for you to detain an official of the court like this! ”
Qin Niang looked at him lightly and said, "Imperial court official? Do you really think that Your Majesty cares about the court officials of your single family? ”
From the failure of the dragon, it is good that the emperor did not copy them all over the house, and he dared to use His Majesty's grace to threaten her!
"At least for more than 20 years, Your Majesty has no intention of holding the Shan family accountable, and he has not cut off my and my father's official positions." Shan An felt that this dead girl was here to punish her heart, and he must not fall for her.
"Oh? Really? Qin Niang went down the steps, walked straight in front of him, looked at him condescendingly and said, "Presumably, over the years, your single family must have had a very bad life?" Although it is for you to take up a foreign appointment, you should also have His Majesty's people around you, right? You can't do things on your own, can you? ”
Otherwise, the father and son of the Shan family returned to Beijing without authorization, then who would take care of their affairs? How could the emperor turn a blind eye?
She didn't know what the emperor meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood, thinking that the emperor had been trying her best to get rid of all the single family for more than 20 years.
It's just that the Shan family was not caught on the bright side back then, even if the emperor knew that the Shan family was on the wrong team, it was not good to pry their family for no reason, otherwise, it would be unfavorable to his son of heaven who had just ascended the throne.
Shan An's face changed and changed as Qin Niang's words came out, and Qin Niang knew at a glance that she was right.
"It's also very eye-catching for Your Majesty to look at your family, so he didn't reprimand you when you returned to Beijing without permission, do you think Your Majesty doesn't know about these things that your father and son have made in the capital these days? Why didn't he ask? It's not like we're waiting to see how your father and son die. ”
In the past 20 years, the emperor has also put a lot of pressure on their single family and made a lot of stumbling blocks, if they are forced to bear it, they will either resign and stay away from the court, or they can only take risks to do a lot of things.
Obviously, the emperor still knows this family very well, of course they are not willing to resign and become an idle vagrant, on the contrary, they miss the scenery in the capital all the time.
So, they're back.
This is what the emperor has been waiting for and hoping for.
"Shan An, I heard that your father and son arrested my mother's maidservant and wanted to enter the palace to sue the emperor?"
