"You say I bought the horse from you, but I've never seen you." Qin Niang stared at the jade wrench in his hand, and said with a faint expression, "However, my jade wrench was stolen as early as a month ago, and Jing Zhaoyin also has a record, I can report to you at any time." ”

When the man heard this, he was anxious, got up from the chair suddenly, pointed at Qin Niang and said, "You were wearing a hat that day, where can I see what you look like?" I only have this jade wrench in my hand, and I have your own signature on it! Why don't you admit it! The man thought to himself, this Donglin person is a traitor, and after only a few days, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

Qin Niang raised her eyes and glanced at the signature and drawing on the note, and chuckled: "This big brother, even if his face is covered, is it possible that even his voice is covered?" ”

The painting on it is not hers at first glance, and the lines on everyone's fingers are different, and her lines are particularly obvious and very recognizable, almost recognizable at a glance.

"Don't you all have the same voice as the women on the east? Delicate and soft, and the body size is about the same, so, you don't want to fool me, I don't want to be fooled by that, if you honestly give the rest of the money today, if you don't give it, don't blame me for not following the rules. The big man obviously had some taste of running out of patience, he waved his hand, and said in a rough voice, "If you don't give money, give me back my eight hundred war horses, otherwise ......"

Even if he sues the government, he is also reasonable.

Qin Niang beckoned Qiu Xue to bring the pen, ink and seal, and Qiu Tao immediately went out.

She didn't speak, just sat there quietly and drank another cup of tea, and ate several pieces of snacks, looking like she was not in a hurry.

The man didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, and she was about to die, and she was about to speak again, when she saw a few maids come in with the four treasures of the study, and the paper and pen were laid out neatly.

Qin Niang walked to the desk, picked up the pen and signed her name, and then put her finger into the ink and dipped it on the paper.

Qiu Tao took the paper with Qin Niang's name signed and handprint pressed down to the man, and said in a disdainful tone: "You take a good look at it clearly, this is my young lady's signature and drawing, the copy in your hand does not belong to my young lady at all, as for who it is, you can go to the official and let the government find out that person for you." ”

As she spoke, she snatched the jade wrench and said with a smile: "As for this jade wrench, it was stolen by my young lady a few days ago, so it is natural to return it to its original owner." ”

The big man's face changed, and his eyes stared at the two obviously different signatures and drawings, and his face was full of disbelief: "You deliberately designed to calculate me? ”

After doing it for a long time, he lost hundreds of horses, but only got the tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the jade wrench finger that could be trusted as evidence became a stolen object, so wouldn't he be a white wolf with empty gloves?

The eldest brother has long said that the Donglin people are cunning, and asked him not to do business with them, it seems that what the eldest brother said is really right, look, this person with a head and a face, he is not soft when it comes to calculating people.

He had no evidence in his hands now, and how easy would it be for him to get his horse back.

"We said, you can go to the official, this matter has nothing to do with my young lady, if you can't even say anything about your voice and appearance, even if you go to the official mansion, you can't identify that my young lady bought your horse, besides, my young lady has been in the palace three days ago, and she has never been out of the palace gate for half a step, let alone out of the city, if you don't believe it, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire, this matter is known to many people." Qiu Tao looked at the big man in front of her, and suddenly felt that the other party was a little pitiful.

Hundreds of war horses, said they were gone.

If it is an ordinary good horse, it is okay, good horses can be bought everywhere, but war horses are different, which means that those horses are trained, one can be ten, and the price is not comparable to ordinary horses.

The loss can be imagined.

"I don't care, even if that person is not your young lady, it is also someone your young lady knows, if you don't find out the person for me, I won't leave today." As he spoke, the big man sat back in the chair with a butt, his face darkened with anger, "Maybe it's your enemy, and I'm also affected by you, today either you find people out for me, or pay me the silver, otherwise, when I go out of this gate, I'll go around and say, you Gu family is bullying people, and you are relying on the strong in the east to bully a small country like us." ”

Nowadays, the relationship between Donglin and some nomads in the north is still quite friendly, especially because their land is vast and sparsely populated, and the grassland is suitable for raising horses, so there will be trade between the two countries.

Although the other party is a small country in Fanbang, if they are really provoked, Donglin will be greatly hindered in the future, both economically and in terms of combat readiness.

Therefore, none of those neighboring countries will offend such a small country.

Qiu Tao opened her mouth, she was choked for a long time and didn't refute a word, she could only look at Qin Niang for help, if this eldest brother made up his mind to stay in the house and not leave, it would be troublesome.

But you can't force it away.

As he himself said, it was a problem for him to leave the house.

"Then you can stay here." Qin Niang said without any waves on her face, "Qiu Tao, let's go." ”

Qiu Tao answered, and followed Qin Niang to leave the main hall quickly, and all the people in the room were all gone at once. 126 Chinese Net

That man was completely stunned!

Qin Niang left him alone in this hall like this, no matter what!

……

Qin Niang returned to Qinyuan, and Qiu Tao asked suspiciously: "Miss, do you really want to keep that person in the house?" ”

Qin Niang sat down, looked at her with one hand on her face and asked, "What do you think would happen if you didn't keep him?" ”

Qiu Tao scratched his head and hesitated: "Then he will definitely go out and talk nonsense, and then the city will be full of wind and rain again." ”

Qin Niang nodded and said: "That's it, now you don't have to think about it to know, the person who took five hundred war horses from other people's houses must be Tang Wan, she is about the same size as me, and the barbarian is stupid, and she can't tell the difference between the voices of the women in the east at all, so it's no wonder who was deceived, it's just that I am more concerned about what Tang Wan bought so many war horses for?" I don't think she has the heart to serve the country, and she wants to buy it and donate it to the imperial court to send to the border gates. ”

If she Tang Wan had this integrity, even if she disgusted her, she would not leave her a little leeway.

After her reminder, Qiu Tao's attention finally turned back, and then, she guessed: "Miss didn't say that Tang Wan and the prince may have colluded a long time ago, and Gu Gongzi also said that His Royal Highness the prince has raised many soldiers and generals in private......"

She didn't dare to say anything further, if she didn't get heard, she would be dragged out and killed.

A prince is both a private soldier and a war horse, what to do, the answer is self-evident.

"Gu Chen has been sending people to investigate in that valley, but so far he has not found the slightest shadow of those private soldiers, so this is what we have been worried about." Qin Niang frowned.

Are those raised by Song Huai part or all of them? How many are there? All of them are unknown, and these unknown factors may break out at any time a terrible civil strife in the imperial city.

Once the imperial city is in chaos, those foreign enemies who are ready to move will no longer stand still.

"Miss, did you detain people in the mansion to lead Tang Wan into chaos?" Qiu Tao has also grown a lot by Qin Niang's side these days, and she quickly thought of this, but, "Miss, why don't we just take that Tang Wan over and ask her harshly, the slave doesn't believe it, she can still withstand a few torture tools." ”

Naturally, there is also a set of methods of interrogation in the inner house, which is no worse than those in the torture hall.

She still didn't believe how hard the bones of a person like Tang Wan could be.

"You don't understand, Tang Wan is very treacherous, I'm afraid that you will escort her over, and before the trial starts, she will put it on, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the entire capital will pass on my Yang Qinyan Cao's life." Qin Niang turned the bracelet in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "Now that people have come to the door, Tang Wan herself knows that her painting and handprint will be revealed when compared, so she will definitely strike first." ”

As soon as the master and servant finished saying this, Tang Wan really received the news.

She is also like Qin Niang's expectation, and she will not sit still.

It's just that Qin Niang originally thought that Tang Wan's most habitual method was to kill people and kill her mouth, and then she would make a mess and blame, even if she Yang Qinyan could clear her name, she was afraid that she would be entangled in a lawsuit for a while, and when the time came, she would take the opportunity to do something else.

In Qin Niang's opinion, Tang Wan's biggest goal in this life is to get Gu Chen, and everything she does is to get him.

She framed her, so naturally she had the opportunity to be alone with Gu Chen, and if something could happen to her, it would be enough to make her Tang Wan proud.

However, she didn't expect that Tang Wan would change her previous style and play with borrowing a knife to kill people, and this time she borrowed the emperor's knife.

The northern barbarian entered the gate of Gu's house with his front foot, and Tang Wan ordered someone to spread the news with his back foot, and spread the news that Qin Niang had bought eight hundred war horses privately, and people would come to the door to ask for debts.

Soon, this news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital within a few hours, and Gu Chen heard a lot on the way back to his home.

"Did you hear that? The second young lady of the Gu family actually bought 800 war horses in private, what do you say, what does she want to do? ”

"Hasn't the Yang family always been on the side or standing in line? Generations are only loyal to the monarch, but even if the imperial court wants to buy war horses, it is also a matter of the Soldiers and Horses, what does it have to do with the Yang family? Is the Yang family going to stand in line? ”
