Chapter 407 Who is justified
The second prince's businesslike tone made Qiao Ningdai's face pale.
Farsighted.
Looking at her parents standing outside the hall and crowded in a group of people, Qiao Ningdai pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Aunt Dai, what do you have to say?" Shaoqing of Dali Temple gave Qiao Ningdai a chance to defend herself.
"My lord, the grass people have a few questions for Qiao Yixi."
Shaoqing of Dali Temple frowned, and glanced towards Duanmu.
Duanmu Qing also slightly restrained the smile on his face.
"Your Excellency?" The second prince suddenly spoke, making Shaoqing of Dali Temple retract his gaze.
"Aunt Dai, excuse me." In the public court, Shaoqing of Dali Temple called Qiao Ningdai very much to the second prince, at least, he didn't say "sinner" or so-and-so.
"Qiao Yixi, you said that I said that 'Shu Xiulou' is in the name of His Royal Highness, is there any evidence? You said, I borrowed money from you in order to smooth out the accounts of the loss of the 'Shu Xiulou', is there any evidence? You say, 'Shu Xiulou' is to raise funds for His Royal Highness, is there any evidence? ”
Qiao Ningdai looked at Qiao Lixi with burning eyes, her expression was calm, but her tone was very tough.
Regarding the sudden change in Qiao Ningdai's attitude, Qiao Lixi still somewhat understood the reason.
It's just that Qiao Ningdai doesn't think about it carefully, since she dares to say so, she is naturally ten percent sure.
This time, she has to hit the ground running, and she has to give someone a chance.
His gaze swept casually, and finally swept over Duanmu Qing.
"Aunt Dai, you didn't admit what you said yourself, but you asked me for evidence, should I say that you are smart, or should I say that you are stubborn?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask you for evidence!" Qiao Ningdai was sure that Qiao Lixi's previous words were deceiving her, and there was no evidence in her hand at all, so she also had confidence in her heart.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple also said to Qiao Yixi: "Grandma Gu, the truth that trouble comes from the mouth, you must know. If you talk about it in private, it's just a matter of talking about it, but when it comes to the court, it's different. His Royal Highness is also here today, and it is better to make these words clear, and he must be held responsible for slandering the prince. ”
Shaoqing of Dali Temple said vaguely, but the meaning was very clear.
If it is quiet gossip, forget it, Qiao Lixi's words, what he said in the public court before, it is equivalent to a testimony, if he doesn't say it clearly, it will affect the image of the second prince in the old emperor, and the second prince's revenge is still good, I am afraid that the old emperor will protect his shortcomings, and no matter how bad his son is, he can only reprimand himself, and he can't tolerate a harsh word from outsiders.
Thinking of the contradiction between the Holy Lord and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, if this matter is not explained to the public, I am afraid that Qiao Lixi's life in the future will be difficult.
Qiao Yixi understood the words of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and also understood his hints.
Receiving Qiao Yixi's hint, the steward presented the evidence.
"My lord, for the 'Shu embroidery building' is not the property under the name of His Royal Highness, we can't come up with substantive evidence, we only know that the 'Shu embroidery building' was bought by the prince and the prince twenty years ago, and the predecessor of the 'Shu embroidery building' is the cloth village, which has always been the property under the name of the prince and the prince, until Mrs. Tao got married, the prince and the prince changed the deed of the 'Shu embroidery building' to Mrs. Tao's name, and it was included in Mrs. Tao's marriage."
This is a well-known thing, and there is nothing surprising about it.
Qiao Yixi continued: "It's just that the crown prince and the prince privately signed an agreement with Mrs. Tao, and the agreement said that the 'Shu Embroidery Building' is only attached to Mrs. Tao's name, and Mrs. Tao has no right to intervene in the affairs of the 'Shu Embroidery Building'. ”
"Nonsense!" Qiao Ningdai hurriedly interrupted Qiao Lixi's words, "These are just your guesses, you can't come up with evidence, so you slander the second prince and slander me!" ”
Qiao Yixi looked at Qiao Ningdai with a strange expression, "Aunt Dai, you think that my words are false, why are you in a hurry to dismantle me?" You've got to wait until I'm done, right? If what I say is false, the more I say, the more loopholes there are, isn't it more beneficial to you? ”
"You ......"
"Aunt Dai, please don't be impatient, wait for Grandma Gu to finish speaking."
The onlookers pouted slightly.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was not smiling in the past, when did the trial become so pleasant?
The second prince looked at Qiao Lixi coldly, from her mouth, he knew that things were tricky.
But due to his identity and occasion, it is inconvenient for him to interrupt the trial of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, besides, as Qiao Yixi said, if there is a loophole in her words, with the experience of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she will not be able to detect it?
Glance down the hall.
Outside the door was a crowded crowd, half of them were ordinary people, half of them were family members sent by the people in the circle, and the rest were ......
The second prince's eyes flashed slightly.
This matter must have reached the palace and was known to his father.
According to the caution of his father, he must have let people come to the "jury".
Therefore, at this time, he can't speak out, stay out of the matter from the beginning, no matter what the final result of this case is, whether he is wronged or suspected, he can't show it, because this matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end, and he doesn't need to have extra emotional ups and downs.
"Grandma Gu, please continue."
The hearts of the people in the hall are even more unbalanced.
I didn't expect Shaoqing of Dali Temple to take off his official authority and have such a gentle side.
"My lord, because when Aunt Dai sent the deed of 'Shu Embroidery Building', it was not Aunt Dai's name, so I asked people to go through the formal procedures and go to the government to verify, and it was indeed Mrs. Tao's name. This made me very difficult, on the one hand, Aunt Dai needed money to turnover, and she also took out the collateral, but she was not the owner of the collateral. If Aunt Dai repays the loan on time, it's fine, if not, it will be very troublesome for me to go through the procedure here. So, I asked Mrs. Tao to verify the deed. ”
"You talk nonsense! You didn't even bother to verify it! Qiao Ningdai thought that she had caught Qiao Lixi's handle, and immediately said.
"Yes, no," Qiao Yixi didn't feel weak at all after being caught, but said generously, "Because my people haven't come to the door yet, I heard the rumors say that 'Shu Xiulou' is the property of His Royal Highness, and then I think of Aunt Dai's determined words, I let people turn to other things." For example, the deficit of 'Shu Xiu Lou', when Aunt Dai borrowed silver, she mentioned this, because Qiao Er Ye is my second uncle, no matter what aspect it is, I don't want Qiao Er Ye to be troubled by the owner, so I asked people to check the accounts of 'Shu Embroidery Building'. ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Yixi looked at the second prince, "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I didn't check the account book of the 'Shu Embroidery Building', I just roughly calculated the flow account of the 'Shu Embroidery Building' according to the daily operation of the 'Shu Embroidery Building'." ”
The attitude of serious explanation, as if the second prince is the serious master of the "Shu Embroidery Building".
The second prince's face was dark.
At this time, what can he say?
Say don't care, feel free?
He is not the owner of the "Shu Embroidery Building", why should Qiao Yixi be casual?
Say it's none of his business?
"Shu Xiulou" is his aunt's on the surface, as a nephew, it's not like this to clear the relationship, right?
In the contradiction, the second prince is really not suitable for other expressions except for his expressionless face.
Qiao Lixi's words later made the people in the hall very interested, "I don't know what the accounts of 'Shu Xiu Lou' are, I only know that the loss of 'Shu Xiu Lou' is very serious." ”
Qiao Ningdai opened her mouth, habitually wanting to refute.
But seeing Qiao Lixi's smiling expression, the ghost swallowed the words in his mouth.
choked a few times, but she didn't take advantage of anything other than self-inflicted humiliation.
Before she knew Qiao Lixi's purpose, she had better wait and see what happened.
Qiao Ningdai was silent, but the whispers in the hall continued.
After all, how famous is "Shu Embroidery Building" in the capital, everyone is obvious to all, saying that "Shu Embroidery Building" is a loss, so other small shops don't even have a way to live?
The second prince also had a dignified face.
Regarding Qiao Yixi's words, he also wanted to know whether they were true or false.
"Moreover, this loss is not a matter of one or two months, a few months ago, there was a problem with the accounts of 'Shu Xiulou', so Aunt Dai will borrow money from Qianzhuang again and again." Glancing at Qiao Ningdai, who was about to have a seizure, Qiao Lixi said with a smile, "Of course, Aunt Dai can say that borrowing money from me is not necessarily a problem of 'Shu Xiulou'. But I believe more in the conclusion I have come to that in the past few months, the mutual suppression of the industry, the price increase of suppliers, and the sales problem, the warehouse of 'Shu Xiulou' has hoarded a large number of goods. I don't know how the books of 'Shu Xiulou' are done, it is certain that I can't make ends meet, and the inventory of the five warehouses alone is a big waste of resources. ”
The second prince tightened his eyes and looked at Qiao Ningdai.
Qiao Ningdai, who was excited, didn't notice the sharpness of the second prince at all, and only looked at Qiao Yixi with hatred.
However, the second master Qiao and Bi Cuiqiu in the hall trembled, worried that the second highness would settle accounts after the autumn.
"Besides," Qiao Lixi said unhurriedly, "If Aunt Dai is not short of silver, just for the turnover of her own dowry shop, how can she take the borrowed silver to put the money in the seal." ”
"You slandered me!" Qiao Ningdai's bluff could not suppress Qiao Lixi's words, nor could she hide her weakness.
"Is there any evidence for this?" Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked awe-inspiring.
It is a big crime for the people to put the money in the print, although I don't understand the question of the ownership of the "Shu embroidery building" that I said before, how did I jump to the money in the print, but this matter is definitely the biggest thing so far this year.
Qiao Lixi was holding the shelf, and did not immediately answer Shaoqing of Dali Temple's words, but continued according to her own logic: "Before, Aunt Dai borrowed the silver, and soon repaid it, because Aunt Dai took it privately to put the money in the seal, and because the silver borrowed from me was calculated as the lowest interest, so Aunt Dai also ate a sum of money in the middle, I have a list here, it is the person who put the money in the seal of Aunt Dai, and the adults can verify it one by one." ”
"Qiao Lixi, in order to frame me, you really did everything! I think it's all your people, and they deliberately framed me! ”
