Chapter 217: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
So I had to bite the bullet and say: "The women beg the prince to make decisions for the women, and the women are willing to bear any consequences." ”
Qi Hongxin asked a royal forest army to go to the Guogong Mansion to invite Wen Ling, and the group waited here, the more they waited, the more panicked the woman became, she was afraid that her family was gone, how should she live in the future.
She was also afraid that if the county lord found out the truth, the prince would not let her go, and this group of relatives would not let her go, and these relatives also came with her in order to be able to get compensation from the court.
If they don't get anything, they go for nothing, and the woman doesn't know how she will behave in the future.
The group waited for a long time, and the Imperial Forest Army sent to invite people brought Wen Ling over, and as soon as Wen Ling came, she saw that there were many people gathered together, although she had heard about this side on the way, but so many people surrounded a patient, this situation still made her a little worried and angry.
Wen Ling got off the soft sedan chair, walked to Qi Hongxin and stood still, and saluted Qi Hongxin: "The courtier has seen the prince." ”
Wen Ling pointed to the middle-aged man lying on the side and a group of people watching the play with a micro-butler, "Lord Wang, this epidemic is menacing, how can you let a sick person appear in public?" And allow so many of them to be watching? If all of them are infected, then all our efforts will be in vain. ”
Wen Ling said this, Qi Hongxin also knew that this was not good, but the woman stopped doing it, she just wanted to take advantage of the large number of people, the prince and the county lord would not do anything to her, if everyone left, then she would be finished.
Seeing Wen Ling's words like this, the woman began to cry again: "County Lord, the women know that you are powerful and powerful, but my family has become like this because of drinking your medicine, you can't drive these people away, in this way, who will give us justice?"
When everyone is gone, isn't it up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong? Oh my God, the women are really miserable. ”
Wen Ling sighed, and had to let the Imperial Forest Army drive the people away, Wen Ling walked up to the woman and looked at her condescendingly: "Do you know what the crime of slandering the county lord is?" If this time, because of your ignorance and greed, the people of my capital are infected with the epidemic, and it is useless for you to die. ”
The woman kept crying and making a fuss: "My family is like this, county lord, don't you feel cold when you say this?" You are so young, how can you be so ruthless. ”
Wen Ling's eyes were cold, and her tone was even colder, she had recently wasted so much attention in order to find an antidote, but she still didn't find it, so she could only prevent it first, as a result, this person was not only making trouble in the city, but also alarmist, the people were already in a panic, if they couldn't stabilize the people's hearts, how would this epidemic survive.
No matter how powerful they are, if there is no cooperation from the people, the entire Daqi will be finished, so this time, whether this person is really ignorant or bought, she has to teach her a lesson, she Wen Ling has never been a good person.
In vain, she is gentle and spiritual, and feels that in this life, the most worthy of the people is the people, and in her Wenfu life, it is not the people who are ashamed of the right, as a result, it is this group of people who she treats well, and she treats the people of Wenfu well, come to her again and again to find trouble, this time, she will not show mercy, she wants to kill chickens and monkeys.
Wen Ling's tone was cold, and he said to the woman: "Okay, since you insist on saying that this uncle became like this because he drank my medicine, then I will convince you that if you frame the lord of this county, obstruct the prince's law enforcement, and mislead the people, you will bear the blame." ”
Wen Ling changed his gentle tone again, and said to the people who were stopped by the Imperial Forest Army in the distance: "Everyone, this aunt has always said that it is because my medicine made her husband sick, I Wen Ling thinks that I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the people, if I find out, this disease is related to my medicine, then I invite myself to go to Dali Temple to roll the nail bed again..."
As soon as Wen Ling's words fell, Qi Hongxin whispered behind him: "Ling'er, no." ”
Wen Ling smiled, did not answer Qi Hongxin's words, and continued directly in a cold tone: "If this matter has nothing to do with my medicine, then, rely on her to obstruct official business, spread rumors, and gather people to make trouble, when the time comes, let alone the county lord, even the emperor will not let her go." ”
After Wen Ling finished speaking, she squatted down, put on isolation gloves, and began to check, of course the woman knew that this matter had nothing to do with Wen Ling's medicine, she regretted it now, she shouldn't have been greedy for those silver taels, not only harmed her family, but also probably put herself in.
Therefore, she must not let Wen Ling check smoothly, so she must make a fuss, seeing Wen Ling put on gloves, the woman simply lay on the man's body, "What are you going to do?" My father-in-law is not dead, you look like an autopsy, and I don't allow you to touch him. ”
The group of people who followed behind him also began to point at Wen Ling, "That's it, you can't bully people with power, and now you are coming to oppress people with power, you black-hearted people know that you are harming our ordinary people." ”
Wen Ling gave a direct look, and immediately a few Royal Forest soldiers came over and surrounded the woman and the people who came with her, the Royal Forest Army was wearing armor, all with knives, and their expressions were cold, ordinary people were still quite scared when they saw it.
So a group of people didn't dare to make trouble, and Wen Ling saw that it had finally quieted down, so he continued to check.
The reason why Wen Ling was sure that this person was definitely not because her medicine became like this, it was because she saw this person's face, from Lord Yang, Wen Ling knew that if it was a person who had just become ill, it would never be so red.
Looking at this man's face, it has been at least a few days, Wen Ling grabbed the man's hand and found that the man's hands were full of calluses, this situation is rare, even the people who practice martial arts are only cocoons in the designated position, and it is quite rare to have the whole hand.
Wen Ling beckoned, and immediately someone from the Royal Forest Army ran over, Wen Ling whispered a few words to the person, and the person who received the order immediately ran out.
The woman was about to say a few more words, but was frightened by the momentum of the guards who surrounded them.
Wen Ling probably knew what a man's job was from the calloon on the man's hand, so he stood up, took off his gloves, and asked the woman: "Since you keep saying that you want to seek justice for you, well, now you can answer whatever I ask, and the county lord will naturally have a way to save him." ”
When the woman heard that her husband had been saved, she immediately rejoiced, "Really? Can you really save him? ”
Seeing Wen Ling's smiling expression, the woman knew that she had fallen for Wen Ling's scheme, so she changed her words again: "You hurt the people's woman's husband, and it is natural for you to save him." ”
Wen Ling just said: "Okay, since you keep saying that the county lord is harmful, then okay, the county lord will let you see why your husband was infected, because you will answer whatever I ask." ”
"What does your husband's family do?"
The woman thought that Wen Ling would ask her directly when she found out that her husband was sick, but instead she asked a topic that had nothing to do with her illness.
The woman was dissatisfied: "This, it has nothing to do with my father-in-law's illness, what are you asking for?" ”
Wen Ling's tone was even colder: "This county lord will say it again, you don't question my ability, what this county lord asks you, you will answer honestly." ”
The woman was frightened by her gentle momentum, and immediately began to answer honestly: "The woman's family is in the north of the city, and she is engaged in the rice and grain business, and everyone over there knows the woman's family. ”
Now the people who come are all from the east of the city, no wonder this woman picked the present to make trouble, Wen Ling asked again, "What is your husband's surname?" And how many children do you have? ”
The woman didn't know, Wen Ling asked what this was for, but she still replied, "The husband's surname is Mo, and we only have one son." ”
Wen Ling nodded to indicate that he understood, but he didn't speak, and after a while, the Royal Forest Army, who had led the order to run out, ran back and got some things back.
Gao Shengyu reported: "The county lord, the prince, the little one went to the north of the city, this woman's family is indeed in the rice and grain business, and the little one also went to her house and found a pair of shoes stained with mud, in addition, in Jingzhao Mansion, there is a small man who burns the fire, and his surname is Mo, because this surname is relatively rare, so people everywhere have some impressions of him."
And besides, the little one found two hundred taels of silver in this woman's house. ”
Hearing that Wen Ling had found out all her sons, the woman was already anxious, but now that they heard that they had found out the silver again, the woman knew that she was really finished, and even her son finally went to Jingzhao Mansion to find an errand to make a fire, and now it was all over.
So she wasn't afraid of the Guards anymore, and began to yell, "What are you guys doing here? If you don't go to help my husband see a doctor, what are you going to investigate my family for? Do you want to see that my family doesn't have a backstage, so they bully ordinary people like us? ”
Wen Ling looked at the woman coldly, and the woman immediately shut up, this county lord was so terrible, her eyes almost scared her to death.
The person who came put the silver and shoes on the ground, Wen Ling put on gloves and picked up the silver: "Two hundred taels, auntie, you might as well tell the county lord, where did these two hundred taels of silver come from?" ”
In Daqi, it takes many years for a slightly better merchant to make so much money, not to mention, those who do business, especially the small business of rice and grain, receive mostly broken silver, and they absolutely do not have this brand new two hundred taels of silver.
Wen Ling saw that the woman didn't dare to look up at her, she snorted coldly in her heart, grabbed the pair of mud shoes that had dried up and said: "It hasn't rained in this capital for more than half a month, if the county lord is not mistaken, it happened that the day before yesterday, it rained in the capital.
Can you tell the county lord why, the entire capital has long been forbidden to go out, why do you still want to go out? ”
