【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
"In Xia Chuxu, a merchant in Yuqing County, is negotiating with Chai Niangzi to prepare for a spring embroidery workshop. It can be proved below that she is indeed our embroidery lady of Yizhichun, and now the embroidery pieces marked with the name of Yizhichun are all from her alone. Chu Xu stood outside the public hall, bowed respectfully to the Song Governor's Mansion, and then said slowly.
The Chu family's main scope of activity is in Yuqing County, but this does not mean that they have no contact with the provincial capital. He also came to visit the Song Governor's Mansion several times with his father, and the Song Governor's Mansion knew him, and of course Mrs. Shi Shao's nurse also knew him.
The prefect of Song immediately bowed his head. "Let him in."
The official immediately let go of the water and fire stick that was blocking the way, and Chu Xu walked in again.
"It's the young owner of the Chu family, and I've walked around the provincial capital many times over the years, so I don't need to prove my identity anymore now, right?" He looked at the Song prefect above with a smile.
Governor Song shook his head. "Of course not. However, whether Chai Gu's is really the embroidery girl in the name of your shop, you still have to come up with evidence. ”
"Of course!" Chu Xu nodded hurriedly, and sent a bunch of thick documents from the beckoning servant, "These documents are the notes signed with Chai Niangzi in the next two years." Chai Niangzi has good craftsmanship, and the price of each of her things is different, so we will sign a note for each piece sold, and the description of the embroidery on the note is clear, and the prefect is invited to look at it. ”
The document was handed to the desk of the Song prefect, and the Song prefect began to read it carefully. After reading one, he handed it to the people around him to spread out and display. Everyone found that the note was also carefully painted with a small portrait of the embroidered piece!
One of them was indeed exactly the same as the handkerchief that Yulian had just shown. Moreover, the ink on the paper has long since dried, and some of the paper has begun to turn yellow, and it looks like it has been left for a long time. And in the lower right corner of each piece of paper is a red flower and green leaf, which is a common mark on all the letters.
After flipping through the notes one by one, Governor Song grabbed the last piece of paper. "What is this?"
"Oh, that's a new note we signed this year." Chu Xu replied briskly, "Chai Niangzi's embroidery is excellent, and her painting skills are even better." In just two years, her embroidery has become better and better, and now we are no longer limited to making handkerchiefs. Her things are in short supply, and many people are waiting in line to ask for them. So at the beginning of this year, I was discussing with her that we could make a name for her embroidery, and we all thought of the name, just a branch of spring! In the past six months, Yizhichun's finished products have sold very well in my shop, and we have already decided to open another shop separately to sell Yizhichun's things, and this note was signed by us at that time. At the end of the year, our Ichiharu will be open! ”
Such a note has always been kept by each of them, and then another copy is archived in the yamen. He can't fake this.
Therefore, now the facts have proved thoroughly - Chunzhi is indeed the embroidery girl of a spring! Moreover, she has even become a shareholder of Yizhichun!
In this way, Yulian's slander of attacking her for stealing the veil at the beginning was self-defeating. The words that Mrs. Shi Shao's nurse said also became completely useless nonsense.
At this time, Yulian has already been carried down, but I'm afraid that the corpse is starting to get cold, right? The pool of blood on the ground had already been cleaned up, and this person's existence was so easily erased.
And the attention of these people in front of them has long been shifted to the latest developments, and there are not many people who are still grieving for this dead girl.
Human life is like a mustard, and Haruka is now fully aware of this.
"But, even so, you can't prove that this matter has anything to do with my young lady!" After trimming for a while, Mrs. Shi's nurse immediately plucked up her strength and shouted.
"I know, I didn't say that I had to prove that this matter had something to do with your young lady, I just did this to prove the innocence of Chai Niangzi." Chu Xu smiled faintly.
When Haruka heard this, her heart sank.
In the end, she failed.
Yulian knew that she was powerless to return to the sky, so she no longer struggled, and directly chose to die in the court, which also spared the fate of being tortured by the Shi family or being taken back by He Laoshi to be abused. However, as she closed her eyes, Haruke's accusation came to an abrupt end. Without the most powerful witnesses, this case will not be able to go on.
Although I knew that with such a small amount of strength, I couldn't shake that person. However, the immediate outcome still made Harue very frustrated.
"But!"
But immediately, she heard Chu Xu's tone rise again. "Since your surname Shi looks down on me so much, you look down on Yizhichun, that is, you look down on Yichun and look down on me! In that case, I won't sell what we sold you before! I get it back at the original price! Also, in the future, the things we produce in Yizhichun will not be sold to the historian, the banker, and anyone who has a close relationship with the Shijia banker! ”
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.
But soon, they figured it out again - Yizhichun's things were already scarce, and now they are selling hot. Even if you don't give it to the Shi family dealer, there are people who come to buy it. Perhaps, people other than the Shi family will secretly be happy that there is less of a group of opponents competing for things after they know about it!
After saying this, Chu Xu slowly raised his smile again. "Now, please go back and tell your daughter-in-law, pack up the things you have at hand, and tomorrow I will bring someone to the door to take them back!"
The nurse stared at him with wide eyes, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
And at this time, there was another commotion outside, and Master Liang's son Liang Meijing was arrested!
Chu Xu immediately came to Chunzhi's side. "Lord Prefect, this should be the end of Chai Niangzi's case, right? Now that it turns out that she was wronged, can we go? ”
"Let's go!" Governor Song immediately waved his hand.
This case, which was falsely accused but not falsely accused, was not worth mentioning at all in his opinion. What's more, there is a more important thing in front of us - the leakage of exam questions!
It just so happened that Master Liang had been by his side all these years, thinking that he was the biggest hero by his side, and gradually became more and more arrogant, and he was about to disobey his discipline! His son is even more inflated, how many times he doesn't even take his own son seriously, and he is worried about how to deal with him without letting people scold him for being a rabbit and a dead dog!
Now, it's just in time!
Therefore, his mind has long drifted away, and he has long lost the mood to care about this trivial matter on Chunzhi.
"But before leaving, shouldn't Mrs. Shi accompany Chai Niangzi and give her a little spiritual compensation?" Chu Xu asked with a smile again.
"Of course." Governor Song nodded again, and looked at Mrs. Shi Shao's nurse, "This mansion announced the verdict, and Yulian was falsely accused." Chai Gu's innocent injustice is really pitiful. However, Yulian is dead, and her compensation will be represented by her husband He Honestly, and as for the slander of the Shi family, it will naturally be compensated by the Shi family. Now, you will apologize to Chai Gu's in the court, and then one party will compensate her for twenty taels of silver! ”
He Laoshi only happily knew that he was going to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law yesterday, but he only glanced at his daughter-in-law today, and this daughter-in-law died! And it's not even if his daughter-in-law is dead, he still has to make him lose money? He didn't do it.
But Governor Song glanced at him coldly, and he was frightened, and quickly bowed his head obediently to apologize.
But twenty taels of silver was not a small amount, he really couldn't take it out, so Chu Xu said with a smile: "If you can't take it out, you can borrow it from Mrs. Shi Shao first!" Since she can pity you for not being able to marry a daughter-in-law and give you a big girl who is like a flower, then you only borrow twenty taels of silver now, and she will definitely give it. And maybe, she sees that you are pitiful, and will promise you another big girl! ”
He Laoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he set his eyes on Mrs. Shi's nurse.
Mrs. Shi's nurse's face was dark.
It's just that now she knows that she is at a loss, and there are more people around her who are staring at her, so she doesn't dare to delay, so she can only reluctantly come to make amends to Chunzhi, and then take out the purse from her arms, of course, she can't bring forty taels of silver with her. There were a total of ten taels in her purse, and she took them out, and then took off the two silver hairpins on her head and a pair of earrings on her ears, and gave them to the spring branch as thirty taels of silver.
The spring branches were generously harvested.
After wrapping up the things, she bowed to the Song Governor's Mansion. "Thank you Lord Prefect for avenging the grievances of the people's women, the people's women are grateful!"
Then, she turned around and went out with Chu Xu.
It was still morning when I entered the palace, but by the time I came out, the sun had already begun to set. Before she knew it, she had wasted all the day in that place.
Stepping over the high threshold of the mansion, Chunzhi raised his head and let out a long breath, but he didn't expect to see a slender figure not far ahead.
"Xianggong!" Her eyes lit up and she waved at him happily. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
