Chapter Twenty-Eight: Refusal to admit the account
The shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion saw that Lianzhi came out of the Qian De pawnshop, and probably guessed in his heart that Lianzhi had pawned something.
He thought about it and ended up saying nothing.
Lianzhi glanced back at the Treasure Pavilion before leaving, and Su Qing asked, "Princess, what are you looking at?" ”
"I'm just thinking that people in this world are cold, and no one has the responsibility to take care of other people's affairs." After Lianzhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, "Let's go, Gu Shiqi should come to us with silver, let's go eat first, I'm hungry." ”
Su Qing is completely confused about Lianzhi's behavior, Lianzhi really seems to be just for eating and drinking today, but isn't the most important thing at the moment to investigate the case?
In the afternoon, Lianzhi took a hundred taels of silver from Gu Shiqi: "I'll redeem the jade pendant, you wait for me here." ”
Lian Zhi left with Su Qing, Gu Shiqi was alone, he was going to find a teahouse to drink tea, but after walking a few steps, a few people rushed out from behind, and directly dragged Gu Shiqi into the alley next to him with his mouth covered......
Lianzhi and Su Qing walked into Qian De's pawnshop, and the guy naturally recognized Lianzhi: "Girl, are you here so fast?" ”
Lianzhi handed the silver ticket and receipt to the man: "I'll redeem the jade pendant." ”
"Okay, you can wait a minute." The guy walked into the room, and after a while, he got a small box and walked out, "This is your jade pendant." ”
Lian Zhi took the box, opened it, and his face changed: "Did you take it wrong, this is not my jade pendant." "What is in the box now is just an ordinary jade pendant.
The guy didn't smile: "How could it be wrong, it's this jade pendant." ”
Lian Zhi directly threw the jade pendant on the table: "I mortgaged a lotus-shaped jade pendant, not this jade pendant at all." ”
"Little girl, I see that you are young, but I didn't expect to come to my Chande pawnshop to cheat. At that time, the shopkeeper of our family also took pity on you, so he allowed you more silver, otherwise how could this jade pendant be mortgaged for one hundred taels? ”
Lian Zhi looked at the guy: "Sure enough, it's a big bully, although I am a woman, I will never let you bully." ”
"We bullied you? I'm telling you, either you go back with the silver ticket, or you go back with this jade pendant, depending on how you choose. ”
Seeing that guy so rampant, Su Qing couldn't bear it anymore: "My young lady won't fool you with a piece of jade pendant, if you take it wrong, you will take it wrong." Hurry up and return my young lady's jade pendant. ”
"Go back? What to take back? The guy asked, "It's this jade pendant, do you want it?" ”
"What's going on?" Zhang Lao walked out of it, and when he saw Lianzhi, he still asked with a kind face, "Girl, are you here to redeem the jade pendant?" ”
Lianzhi spoke: "I'm here to redeem the jade pendant, but the jade pendant that this guy gave me is not my piece at all, I hope you can return my jade pendant to me." ”
Zhang Lao looked at the jade pendant on the table: "Isn't this jade pendant yours?" What more jade pendant do you want? ”
Lian Zhi laughed angrily: "It's only been time, you turned your face and didn't admit it, where is my lotus jade pendant?" If you don't give it back to me, don't blame me for reporting it. ”
"Reporter?" Zhang Lao snorted coldly, "If you have the ability, you can go." ”
Lianzhi pulled Su Qing out of the door: "You wait for me." ”
Zhang Lao watched Lian Zhi and Su Qing leave, and smiled contemptuously: "Even if it is Lord Cheng, he doesn't dare to touch the Qian De pawnshop!" ”
Cheng Mingdong felt that his luck was really bad recently, last time Wang Li died in Hexian Ju, involving the two princesses, and above the court, the saint appeared with the crown prince and the five princes. At that time, Cheng Mingdong was almost scared to death, but fortunately this matter had nothing to do with him.
But two days after his heart was put down, he saw Princess Dongxia again, and Lianzhi actually came to report to the official, looking at Lianzhi's angry appearance, Cheng Mingdong asked: "Princess, who provoked you?" If you don't check on Wang Li's affairs now, why do you still have time to come here? ”
"I'm not here today as a princess, just as a victim, and I hope Lord Cheng will give me justice." Lotus stops opening.
Cheng Mingdong couldn't help but have a headache: "What happened?" ”
"It's about Qian De's pawnshop, I hope Lord Cheng will handle it impartially!"
Hearing that Qian De's pawnshop was involved, Cheng Mingdong had an even more headache, why did this princess get involved with the Wang family?
"The princess might as well tell me what happened, this kind of thing doesn't have to go to court."
"I'm just a victim to find justice now, if Lord Cheng can't do it, then I can only ask Emperor Chu to give justice to this princess as the princess of Dongxia, so look at it, Lord Cheng is also disadvantageous, right?"
Cheng Mingdong heard Lianzhi's threat, and his back was cold: "Xia Guan understands, the shopkeeper of Qian De's pawnshop will come to ask you immediately, don't worry." ”
"Don't reveal the identity of this princess."
"Yes."
Cheng Mingdong was only angry when Lianzhi was angry, so he deliberately wanted to embarrass Qian De's pawnshop, so he asked people to pass the shopkeeper and his buddies to ask Qian De's pawnshop.
When Zhang Lao and his buddies came, Lian Zhi stood on the side of the court, and Cheng Mingdong looked at Zhang Lao and his buddies with a majestic face.
"The grass people have seen Lord Jing Zhaoyin!" Zhang Lao and his men knelt down and saluted.
Cheng Mingdong asked: "This Miss Lin seems to have a bit of a disagreement with your Qian De pawnshop, why don't you tell me what's going on?" ”
No matter how Cheng Mingdong asked just now, Lianzhi refused to confide in the truth, so he asked Zhang Lao and his buddies directly.
The guy spoke: "Master Cheng, this Miss Lin came to our pawnshop in the morning and mortgaged a jade pendant, and the jade pendant is not worth much, and the shopkeeper of my family saw that it was not easy for her to be a girl, so he specially gave her more silver, which was a hundred taels." She came to redeem the jade pendant in the afternoon, but it was not this jade pendant that was mortgaged, but a better jade pendant. This girl is just to blackmail us Qian De pawnshop, how can anyone mortgage in the morning and redeem it in the afternoon? ”
Cheng Mingdong glanced at Lianzhi, who was standing aside, and scolded: "There really are such people." ”
"Where's the shopkeeper?" Cheng Mingdong asked.
Zhang Lao replied: "The grass people have worked in the pawnshop all their lives, and they know that some people come to pawn things because they are forced by life, so they don't mind giving a little more in terms of price." But she didn't want this girl to trample on the kindness of the grass people, not to say that the grass people changed her jade pendant. Qian De's pawnshop has been based in Chujing for so many years, doesn't it even have this credibility? ”
Cheng Mingdong nodded: "Qian De's pawnshop is also a century-old brand in Chujing, and he won't do such an unbearable thing for a piece of jade pendant, does Miss Lin have any secrets?" ”
Lian Zhi stepped forward: "Back to my lord, the little woman has not been in Xichu for a long time, I don't know what a century-old brand or a newly opened pawnshop, I only know that doing business is still based on integrity." These two are clearly talking nonsense, they stole the beams and changed the pillars, and deceived my jade pendant. ”
The guy presented the jade pendant: "Lord Cheng, this jade pendant is the jade pendant that this girl mortgaged in our Qian De pawnshop." ”
Cheng Mingdong looked at Lianzhi: "Isn't it this jade pendant?" ”
"As you can see, this jade pendant is very ordinary, may I ask why Shopkeeper Zhang is willing to let me mortgage one hundred taels with this ordinary jade pendant? No matter how kind-hearted you are, you won't throw money out, right? ”
Facing Lianzhi's questioning, Zhang Lao was not panicked at all: "This girl, have you forgotten, it was you who begged me to let me mortgage more silver for you in the morning, and said that this jade pendant is very important to you, and you will definitely come to redeem it." I saw that you were very pitiful, so I would give you a high price, but I didn't expect you to be such a person, how long has it been, you have to redeem this jade pendant, not to say that this jade pendant is not yours, you want a better jade pendant. I think the girl is a liar, and she uses this method to defraud money. ”
The guy cried to Mr. Zhang: "Master Cheng, everyone knows that the shopkeeper Zhang is kind-hearted, and it is not without this situation in the past, the high price is because the shopkeeper is willing to give others a way to live, and those people later came to thank my shopkeeper." I didn't expect to meet this little girl today, and my conscience was fed to the dog's belly. My lord, you must be the master of my house! ”
Zhang Lao added: "My lord, the grass people are very suspicious of this woman, if she can have a ransom of one hundred taels in such a short period of time, why would she come to me to mortgage the jade pendant in one more move?" It can be seen that this woman has bad intentions, just to harm my Qian De pawnshop, and I hope that the adults will give justice to the grass people! ”
