Chapter 24: Let My Friend Go

"I now suspect that you stole the 100,000 taels of silver, of course I want to arrest you!" Ye Xi smiled brightly, but what he said was quite vicious.

Yu Molan emphasized, "I borrowed the silver. ”

Borrowed?

"You're just a small stall owner selling wontons, who can you borrow 100,000 taels? Steal the king's house! ”

Ye Xi made up her mind, if she really found out something, then wouldn't she have made a great contribution and could logically drive Yu Molan out of the palace.

She stood on the high steps at the entrance of the Linxiu Pavilion and proudly sarcastically mocked Yu Molan.

Xiao Chengyao felt that it was okay for him to be wronged, but it was not okay to make Yu Molan so embarrassed.

He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Miss Ye, do you know the 100,000 taels ......?"

"Since Miss Ye insists on checking, let's check."

Yu Molan interrupted Xiao Chengyao's words calmly, 70,000 taels of silver were borrowed from Nangong Jing, and a commoner found the head of the current prince, presumably the story will be very exciting.

"Tie them both up to me and press them to the county government together!"

Ye Xi ordered that some of the thugs guarding the Linxiu Pavilion all surrounded Yu Molan and Xiao Chengyao.

There were many of their thugs, and even a few guards who were ordered to protect Yu Molan were easily restrained and taken to the county government together.

In the evening, Peach Blossom Lane.

Nangong Jing took Steward Zhao to see Nuan'er, but he only saw that Chen Ling and Xu had been making Nuan'er happy, and did not see Yu Molan's figure.

Nuan'er kept shouting to see her mother, but she didn't see Yu Molan returning.

Nangong Jing's face was not very good, and he asked Chen Ling in a deep voice: "What about Yu Molan?" ”

"Back to the prince, Mo Lan went to Linxiu Pavilion, and he hasn't returned yet."

He had obviously lent Yu Molan 70,000 taels of silver, plus her own 30,000 taels, and it was easy to redeem 100,000 taels of Linxiu Pavilion, why hadn't he come back yet.

Nangong Jing suppressed the doubts in his heart and took the initiative to hug Nuan'er.

The little guy punched him in the chest several times, softly, and said aggrievedly: "Lie a few!" (Liar)"

"I didn't lie to you, my mother is waiting for you at home." Nangong Jing told a white lie.

When Nuan'er heard this, her eyes were shining, and she was a little excited, "Go home!" ”

Nangong Jing showed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, handed over Nuan'er to the Xu family, and brought it back to the palace together.

On the way back, he asked Steward Zhao patiently: "What's going on in Linxiu Pavilion recently?" ”

Steward Zhao reported everything he had inquired about during the day to Nangong Jing, and Nangong Jing's breath was even colder.

His voice was like a knife, "Really? ”

Steward Zhao no longer dared to speak, but just nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Jing waved his hand and motioned for Steward Zhao to approach him.

"This king still has important things to deal with now, you can handle this matter."

Then he told Steward Zhao a few words, and Steward Zhao understood, "Don't worry, the old slave will definitely handle this matter." After the words fell, he parted ways with Nangong Jing's carriage back to the palace.

Linxiu Pavilion.

"Miss, it can be determined that 70,000 taels of silver were lost in the palace! The prefect of the palace where Steward Zhao went personally! Ye Xi's personal maid panted and ran in from outside to report to Ye Xi.

Ye Ximing's eyes widened a little: "I knew that Yu Molan, that slut, this 100,000 taels was stolen!" ”

"So what do we do now?"

Ye Xi snorted coldly, "Naturally, it is so powerful that the people of the entire Hangzhou City know that the nurse who takes care of the county lord has stolen the silver of the palace." ”

"Slave and maid, let's do it."

The maidservant smiled mysteriously and hurried out.

In half an hour, the streets and alleys of Hangzhou knew that Yu Molan had stolen 100,000 taels of silver from the palace.

Ye Xi let his thugs go to the palace with the 70,000 taels of silver with great fanfare.

At the gate of the palace, several carriages were parked, and Ye Xi knelt down reverently at the gate of the palace, and his voice was loud: "The people's daughter Ye Xi asks to see the prince." ”

Nangong Jing had been back to the house for more than half an hour, and when the palace guards came to pass the word, Nangong Jing didn't seem to hear this, and his eyes never left Nuan'er.

Steward Zhao has been by Nangong Jing's side for many years, so he naturally understands what Nangong Jing means.

He stepped forward and whispered something to the guard, and the guard ran away.

In front of the palace gate, Ye Xi knelt for a long time and didn't see anyone come out, she eagerly pulled the arm of the guard at the door, "Have you passed on the prince?" Why hasn't he come out yet? ”

The guard coldly pushed Ye Xi away, "Lord Wang, can you see it if you want to?" ”

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, and then explained strongly: "I have something important to report to the prince, and I hope that the prince will personally deal with it, regarding the safety of the county lord!" ”

As soon as the guard heard that it was related to the safety of the county lord, he went in again to spread the word, and this time the person who came out to see Ye Xi was Steward Zhao.

There was a hint of surprise in Ye Xi's eyes, Nangong Jing sent a housekeeper who had been trusted for many years to deal with this matter, and it seemed that it was already eight or nine years old.

She got up eagerly, "Steward Zhao, you reported that the prefect lost 70,000 taels of silver, which was done by the county lord's nurse Yu Molan, and I have already shipped the 70,000 taels of silver intact, and Steward Zhao can count them." ”

Steward Zhao looked at Ye Xi with cold eyes, and asked rhetorically, "What about the jade girl?" ”

"Of course, it was sent to the prefect, and when the prince was released, stealing 70,000 taels of silver from the palace is not a small amount, which is estimated to be locked up for seven or eight years, right?"

Ye Xi's voice was full of joy, and when she thought that Yu Molan would have to stay in prison since she stole 70,000 taels of silver, she relieved her hatred!

"Steward Zhao, look ......"

She inquired tentatively, hoping that the matter would be resolved quickly.

As a result, Steward Zhao's face was full of surprise, "What did you say?" ”

Ye Xi thought that Steward Zhao was surprised that she had found 70,000 taels of silver for the palace, so he began to ask for credit, "Yu Molan has been arrested, the county lord needs someone to take care of it, I want to recommend myself to try." ”

Steward Zhao squinted, as if he had heard a big joke.

The next moment, he slowly spoke: "First of all, the jade girl is not the county lord's nurse, but the county lord's husband, and secondly, the jade girl did not steal the 70,000 taels of silver from the palace, it was lent to the jade girl by the prince." ”

What the?

Ye Xi's body shook violently, and he screamed excitedly: "Impossible! It must be you who colluded with Yu Molan! I want to see the prince! ”

"You just said that the Jade Girl has been arrested and taken to the prefect?"

"Yes, now even you have to go to the prefect! You shield that slut from Yu Molan! ”

Ye Xi said that his mouth was unobstructed and unscrupulous.

She turned around and ordered the thugs who were following her, "Arrest him for me!" ”

The thugs hesitated and didn't dare to go up, after all, Steward Zhao was a close confidant of the prince, and there were guards at the gate of the palace.

Ye Xi roared angrily, "What are you still doing in a daze, if anyone catches Steward Zhao, the reward will be one thousand taels!" ”
