Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Trap
But she still remembered that those salt bales had obviously been transported away, so how could there be a salt depot in Mafu?
"No," Ye Chuliang's expression sank, she looked at Wu Bing and said, "I remember that a carriage was transported out by the Ma Mansion before, and it was also full of a lot of salt bags, if I wanted to steal salt, I would naturally follow the carriage, how could I stay in the Ma Mansion?" ”
"That's a trick for people, you actually fell ......for it," Wu Bing said thoughtfully, "According to what this official has seen, they must have made two preparations, whether you stay in the horse mansion or follow the carriage, you will inevitably be charged with stealing salt in the end, stealing salt in this dynasty is a capital crime, if your crime is confirmed, then this official will not be able to protect you." ”
"Maybe it's not a dead end, if the Ma family is selling illicit salt, then I ......"
Before Ye Chuliang finished speaking, Wu Bing shook his hand eagerly and said, "Don't think about this, a few days ago, the people on Lord Jiang's side had already granted the Ma family the privilege of selling salt with the authorization document of Lord Jiang, and their family is now a regular official salt trader, if you steal official salt, it will be a dead end." ”
Ye Chuliang's heart sank, she felt that this incident seemed to be a conspiracy against her, so would Dongfang Yanhe also be implicated by herself?
"Lord Wu, that Lord Jiang will not be able to come until tomorrow during the day, you can do it, let me go back tonight, I promise you will definitely come back before daylight." Ye Chuliang grabbed the fence and said eagerly.
Wu Bing looked at the sky hesitantly, and after a while, he said helplessly: "Ye Chuliang's words to protect you this time must have used my black gauze hat, if you can get out, you must not forget this official in the future." ”
Ye Chuliang nodded happily.
As soon as Wu Bing took out the cell door key, the familiar voice of the cell boss suddenly sounded outside the cell, "Master Jiang......"
As soon as Wu Bing's hand trembled, the cell key fell to the ground, his face turned dead, and his body trembled.
Ye Chuliang couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked out of the cell.
……
Jiang Lang was a man who looked to be in his forties, thin and tall, with deep sunken cheeks and a pair of shrewd little eyes, which always made it impossible to see his thoughts.
He walked into the cell and went straight to Ye Chuliang's cage, and after glancing at Wu Bing, he turned to look at Ye Chuliang in the cage.
"Lord Jiang is working so hard, how can he come to the filthy place of the cell so late, come ......" Wu Bing's voice was very high, trying to hide the fear in his heart.
Jiang Lang's eyes moved away from Ye Chuliang's face, looked at Wu Bing and said lightly: "It's so late, didn't Lord Wu also come to the prison to ask about the case?" ”
Wu Bing bent lower, his face was pale, and the sweat stains on his forehead slipped from place to place.
"Xiaguan is just ......"
"Master Wu doesn't need to explain more, since the official is here, this case must be interrogated by the official, so don't worry about it." After Jiang Lang finished speaking lightly, he turned his head slightly and said to the guards behind him, "You take Miss Ye Chuliang to the official's residence, and the official will interrogate him personally." ”
After Jiang Lang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave. The picture is broadcast all over the world
Wu Bing could only whisper beside Ye Chuliang before she was taken away, "He's a pervert, be careful." ”
It was this simple sentence that made Ye Chuliang's already restless heart beat even more wildly.
Now that he is a guilty person, the official who tried the case on the other side is a pervert, and Ye Chuliang's skin is so otherworldly, it seems that a disaster is just around the corner.
Dongfang Yanhe actually felt that something was wrong when he followed the carriage halfway through, the carriage with the sack was not to the hidden place, but to the street desperately, and there were originally several people in the car, but when he walked halfway, there was only one person left who was driving the carriage, all of which did not look like he was going to hide the sack, but as if it was to show off the market and attract the attention of more people.
When Dongfang Yanhe felt something was wrong and turned around to go back to Ma Fu, Ma Fu was already boiling.
Dongfang Yanhe didn't step forward, he hid in the distance, because a thick uneasiness had already surged into his heart.
It's a trap!
Whether this trap was to calculate Ye Chuliang or to lure him out, Dongfang Yanhe really didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only hide in the dark and observe.
When he saw that Ye Chuliang was caught and sent to the yamen, and then put in prison when he was extremely unconscious, he couldn't help but want to step forward to save her.
When he was hiding in the dark of the cell, he heard that Jiang Lang was coming, and his heart couldn't help but chuckle.
This Jiang Lang is the governor of Chongtian Mansion, and in Dongfang Yanhe's memory, they have had several encounters, but that was many years ago, when he was still a general in the imperial court, and he was still wearing a general's clothes and wearing a general's hair in a bun.
Dongfang Yanhe couldn't be sure if the other party still remembered him, and he didn't dare to take risks, so he only dared to hide in the dark and observe.
When he saw Jiang Lang take Ye Chuliang away, a sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart, as a man, he knew very well how obvious Jiang Lang's lust was hiding in his eyes, and he resolutely couldn't let Ye Chuliang be hurt.
……
Jiang Lang's residence is in a large courtyard on the left side of the yamen, surrounded by a tall wall, and there is no tree outside the wall.
Ye Chuliang was brought into the hall, and the two guards who held her were tall and strong, and their strength was as great as an ox, and they almost carried her all the way.
As soon as she entered the house, the two guards escorted her to stand in front of Jiang Lang.
Jiang Lang picked up a cup of strong tea on the table, took a sip, put down the teacup, looked at Ye Chuliang with a straight face and said, "You are the thief who stole official salt?" ”
Wu Bing's words were still echoing in her ears, if the man in front of her was a pervert, then how should she get out?
Seeing that Ye Chuliang didn't answer, Jiang Lang got up and walked to her side, walked around her several times, looked her from head to toe and from foot to head several times with a pair of small eyes, and finally stood beside her and pretended to be contemptuous and said: "Miss Chuliang, there are no outsiders here, if you explain the matter clearly to the official, and explain it clearly, the official may take into account that you have a reason for the incident and the extenuating circumstances and deal with it as appropriate, but if you are still silent, the official is afraid that he will not be able to help you." ”
Ye Chuliang smiled and didn't smile, "My lord, I'm a weak woman, even if I want to steal salt, how can I afford to carry such a heavy bag of salt, besides, if I really want to steal salt, how can I steal it alone, and I don't even bring someone to help watch it?" ”
