Chapter 30: Framed (II)
The old bustard stood in the courtyard with one hand on his waist and shouted, "You girls, don't you hurry up and get out of the old lady!" ”
Li Bo was in a hurry behind, for fear that he would be light, and it would not be a joke if he woke up.
He Ping and the chain had already seen the situation outside, and asked Wu Yi not to come out in the kitchen, and walked out one by one. The chain took the lead, "Adults, the little ones were originally eating, but they didn't hear the movement at first, which frightened the adults, and the little ones confessed, please surrender the adults!" ”
"Please condemn your sin!" The guard's voice was not low, and it calmed everyone.
The old bustard is taking money to do things, and just now the prefect also said that if he told a lie, it would be the same as perjury in the court, and the old bustard would have to fight for himself now. "Yo, Lord Zhou, this is your prefect's yamen, we little people know it, but you can't detain our girl and not pay it back!" The little guys who followed behind also came to the spirit one by one, "That's it! Hurry up and get them all out! ”
He Ping took the guards to the steps to separate Zhou Qi from everyone, "Protect your lord!" ”
"I said Lord Zhou, my girl is obviously here, what are you doing? You want to oppress our people by official authority! ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"Unless let's search! Otherwise, we won't believe you! ”
"Yes, I don't believe it! We don't believe it! ”
"Presumptuous, can you search the prefect's yamen!" He Ping let out a loud sigh.
When Li Bo heard this, it was time for him to play, and he hurriedly stepped back five meters, "What if this official wants to search!" ”
Zhou Qi and everyone hurriedly respectfully saluted the Qincha, Wu Yi heard that this man was actually Qincha in the kitchen door, and he didn't understand what was going on.
When the old bustard saw an official who was older than the prefect, he felt even more confident, "That is, we must return our girl to us!" Lord Qingtian, you have to call the shots for us! ”
"Lord Qincha, if you have to search, the lower official can't stop it, but if there is nothing, this bustard mother framed the official, and please return the official to a clean slate!"
"Ben Chin was appointed here by the imperial court, and he will never wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a bad person! All of them are out of the way for the officer, who personally inspects them for justice. ”
"Your Excellency!" Wu Yi didn't know when he stood in the crowd, "My lord, the officials protect each other, how can we ordinary people be convinced?" Wu Yi said this, the guards looked at each other, He Ping glanced at Zhou Qi, and saw that his face was calm.
"Oh? Okay, it's up to you, you check with the official, how about it! ”
"Huh? Me, I, I, can I? Wu Yi glanced at the people around him, and saw that everyone had no other objections, "Cheng, then I'll come and see if there are any girls in this prefect's yamen!" Hmph, fortunately, Lord Qincha is here, and we ordinary people also have someone to call the shots! ”
In the cheers of the people, the old bustard shouted, "Then I will ...... too"
"Bustard mother, you are the party now, just like the prefect of Zhou Kai, you can't enter the room, this official and this, this people, you are all watching at the door."
As he spoke, the two of them entered the room, looked over one by one, and even opened the cabinet, and took out the contents of the cabinet out of sight. When they finally reached the study, there were two women in the cabinet open, and there was also one person in the other cabinet, and the remaining two were paralyzed in an invisible place behind the cabinet. Fortunately, there are a lot of bookshelves here, two by two back to back, but fortunately, although Li Bo's cabinet was close to the desk just now, it was far away from the door, and even the view was blocked by the incense burner in front of it. Wu Yi put his hand in, "Why is this cabinet empty!" Wu Yi also touched it back and forth with her hand, as if there was nothing to outsiders.
"This is the study, and women can't go in normally!" Zhou Qi's eyebrows were twisted at the door.
"Hey. Today, we are here, and I just want to see it. Saying that, Wu Yi slammed the cabinet door, opened another cabinet, and took out the books inside and threw them on the ground at will.
"Lord Chincha! No matter how much I open Zhou, I am also the prefect of Huizhou! It's an official of the imperial court, and you just let her mess around in my study, it's really insulting. Zhou Qi brushed his sleeves and left.
Li Bo pretended not to care, "You go over there and take a look, this official will take a look here." ”
Wu Yi ran up in the study, and the shelves behind him all ran to it, "My lord, there's nothing, it's all books!" Why don't we move all the books out and read them? ”
"Okay, now that you've read it, the official doesn't think there's any need to move any books, can there still be a person hidden on this shelf? Let's go to another room! ”
"Cheng, I don't think it's possible to hide the girl in the book."
The bustard's mother didn't care about the study at all, the bedroom was the key, and the two looked at all the rooms. In the bedroom, the old bustard "commanded" the two to look at this and that, one foot had already stepped into the door, and he was stunned by He Ping's glare, but he continued to "command" the two, but nothing was found.
"My lord, do you think this big living person can be so gone?" Wu Yi crossed his waist with a look of disbelief.
"Mother Bustard, where are your people?"
"This, this is impossible! They ...... obviously."
"It's obvious that you're telling the truth!"
The bustard mother was startled, and quickly distinguished, "Oh my lord, our girl ......"
"Presumptuous! What are your intentions in framing Zhou Governor's Mansion like this! Say, "Who sent you?" "Saying that, Li Bo saw his entourage coming in at the door, and it turned out that He Ping sent someone to call him. Come on, take it! ”
The entourage came over and pressed the old bustard to the ground, and everyone begged for mercy again and again, "My lord, my lord, wronged, wronged!" ”
Li Bo beckoned people to take them all away, and the people quieted down when they saw that there was no more excitement, and He Ping came up to organize everyone to go out.
Wu Yi watched Zhou Qi come out of the room and entered the study with the chain. Wu Yi came over and saw that Zhou Qi was cleaning up with the chain, and Wu Yi was standing at the door, "My lord, I didn't mean to throw the book just now." ”
Zhou Qi glanced at Wu Yi and continued to sort out without saying anything. Li Bo also walked in, and finally finished tidying up, Wu Yi didn't go in at the door to help, and he didn't leave directly.
"Wu Yi." Zhou Qi finally cleaned up and came to the yard.
"My lord, I'm here, I'm also kind, I didn't mean to throw your book, you, my lord, don't be angry."
"Wu Yi, how many months does the Qian family give you?"
"Huh? My lord, I, I ......"
"I'll give you five times."
"Five-fold?" Wu Yi didn't know what Zhou Qi wanted to do, but the temptation of fifty taels of silver was a bit big, "My lord, I earned ten taels of silver in the Qian family, this is what they wrote clearly on the notice." ”
"No wonder!" When everyone saw it, Wan Ting didn't know when she came back, "I ran away without even saying hello." ”
Wu Yi was just about to argue with Wan Ting, but Zhou Qi said calmly, "The official gave you fifty taels, but you didn't see anything here." Hearing fifty taels, Wu Yi's IQ quickly occupied the high ground, "My lord, I saw it!" Wu Yi said firmly, "I saw an old bustard who wanted to frame the adult, but fortunately, the master of Qincha happened to be innocent after a personal inspection!" It's still checked by the small people! Everybody saw it! ”
Zhou Qi looked at Wu Yi, the corners of his mouth rose, and motioned for the chain to give the silver and send Wu Yi out. Wu Yi held the heavy silver in her heart, and just arrived at the door and remembered Qian Ning's words, "Chain housekeeper, my ......"
"Wu Yi, you take the money steadily, this is what you deserve."
"No, Lord Housekeeper, our young boss said, your fellow acquaintance may have a problem, let me tell you, okay, I'm leaving."
"Hey, Wu Yi, can you be specific?"
"That's what the young owner said, and I don't know anything else."
Chain thought about it, thinking that today's incident was most likely done by Yu Nian, "Wu Yi." Chain pressed the silver with his hand, "You don't see anything here, you don't know anything, even you should say the same to your young owner, do you understand?" Seeing Wu Yi's stunned appearance, the chain added, "This is for his good, but also for your good, Wu Yi, go slowly." After speaking, the chain turned around and closed the door with a "bang".
Wu Yi felt heavy holding the silver, and she understood the chain threat, although she was a little weird in her heart, she still went to the Qian family happily, thinking: I just didn't see anything.
Wan Ting knew what was happening, understood that it was very serious, and just came back in chains, "Look at the people you recruited!" Thankfully, it's not poison! Or the whole room will be wiped out! ”
Chain quickly knelt on the ground, "Adult, Miss, the slave should die, the slave should die!" ”
Zhou Qi stood steadily under the corridor, his face was still as calm as water, "He Ping, go to the front to find the criminal master, and tell him that the Li family stole the property of the government and escaped, and from now on, the whole government will be notified and a reward of one hundred taels will be offered, and the official must find her!" ”
"Yes!" He Ping received the order and walked towards the Qianya.
"The chain is unknown, and the staff is twenty." After speaking, Zhou Qi and Huanting went to the study.
"Brother." Wan Ting still wanted to ask about the situation, but Zhou Qi didn't have time to deal with Wan Ting, so he called someone to carry several women out and wake them up one by one for interrogation, and Li Bo also took someone to the prison to interrogate the bustard's mother.
These women just did what the bustard mother wanted, but they didn't know anything. Five people were crying and kneeling on the ground, which made people upset.
"The official asks you, do you want to go back, or do you want to be good?"
The five women glanced at each other, "My lord, my lord, we are also from a good family, we were sold by our family, the old bustard beats us every day, and lets us pick up guests, if we don't go back, the old bustard will catch us sooner or later and beat us to death." ”
"She has already crossed the river in the mud, how can she have time to care about you."
A woman had the courage to say, "My lord, if we don't go back, we won't do anything, how will we live in the future?" Besides, we are lowly people, and even if we go out, we can't make a living. ”
"This official will naturally cut off your lowly status for you."
When the five of them heard this, they kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The adults are very kind!" My lord, I actually heard the bustard talking to a man. ”
"What man?"
