Chapter Twenty-Eight: Acting in Embarrassment

Immediately, a servant ran out, but in a few moments someone came in. The man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his face was that of a middle-aged man with a rough appearance.

"Slave Cui Qi, I have seen Lord Hou, and I have seen all the nobles."

"Now that the county lord is here, don't you still explain? How did you escape, and why didn't you tell it? Anyang Hou blew his beard and glared, but he looked a little majestic.

"This..." The man hesitated and refused to speak, and Anyang Hou kicked him in the shoulder before he spoke: "The eldest lady ran away while we were drunk in the Zhuangzi, and the slaves were afraid of Hou Ye's punishment, so they were confused for a while, so they didn't report it, and I begged Hou Ye to spare my life." ”

"Is that really the case? So how did this obstacle come here? Anyang Hou rolled his eyes, and asked the manager of the small shop.

The woman fell to the ground and trembled: "This lord, there are several officials on errand who sent her, only to send a slave, we don't know that she is a young lady, this is not our business." ”

Official? Everyone present heard these two words, and since they were not from the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, then this official must be another force. It's just that the word "official" is too general, and it is not enough to judge whether it is a person from the government or a person of any force, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is an errand for an official or an errand for the government, it is called an official.

"Evil animal, don't you tell the truth?" An Yanghou glared at Liu Xi'er.

"Father, now that the matter has come to this, my daughter really can't hide it," Liu Xi'er seemed to be extremely sad and burst into tears, "My daughter was indeed instructed to come here, and that person sent me here to make a big case in the capital." ”

"Say! Who are you commanding? Jiang Xinyue snorted coldly.

"It's... It's a fragrant Ruan Mianmian! Liu Xi'er sat up suddenly, facing in the direction of Ruan Mianmian, her mud-stained hands pointing at her, with a hideous smile on her face.

Suddenly such a thing happened, everyone present was shocked, and looked at Ruan Mianmian with a strange expression, such a weak little girl, who became famous in the capital, turned out to be the mastermind behind the scenes?

Ruan Mianmian's deer-like eyes were also full of disbelief: "How can you empty your mouth and white teeth and slander people's innocence?" You hurt me in the first place, how can I deal with you? ”

Liu Xi'er smiled and wanted to stand up, but Fang Cannon, who was originally standing behind Mu Ruqing, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to block Ruan Mianmian's side, looking defensive.

"I'm not empty teeth, I have evidence, this is evidence." Liu Xi'er was still smiling, took out a pair of small hairpins from her arms and threw them on the ground, pink delicate flowers, delicate stamens with small pink butterflies, butterfly wings trembled and trembled, as if they really came to life.

When the people of Yipinxiang saw this pair of hairpins, their eyes changed, Ruan Mianmian pinched the cuffs, and his eyes were a little stunned when he stared at the pair of hairpins.

"See, this is the token that Ruan Mianmian gave me at that time, and what I said is true." Liu Xi'er smiled proudly.

When the onlookers saw the reaction of the crowd, they knew that this hairpin was Ruan Mianmian's true, but they just said that Ruan Mianmian was the murderer of others, and they were still a little incredulous, not to mention that the county lord was obviously on Ruan Mianmian's side, so he still watched and didn't do anything.

Jiang Xinyue gave Ruan Mianmian a look and signaled her what was going on, Ruan Mianmian lowered her voice and said with a crying voice: "Sister, I haven't seen this pair of hairpins since they were looted, everything was smashed to pieces at that time, and I couldn't see the missing pair of hairpins, I don't know how it got to her." ”

"Hmph, what else could it be, this person colluded with the King of Qi to pour dirty water on us again." Jiang Xinyue did not lower her voice, but said calmly: "A few days ago, Yipinxiang did not open for business, but I don't know if it was because of the summons of the saint, but someone took advantage of our absence to loot Yipinxiang, and everything was destroyed. ”

Jiang Xinyue spoke unhurriedly, but the Marquis of Anyang broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, King Qi secretly sent someone to loot Yipinxiang, he also heard Mu Ruqing say it, this Jingshu County Lord said that Liu Xi'er was the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyang, which clearly implied that there was collusion between the Marquis of Anyang and the King of Qi! So he hurriedly took the people of the Hou Mansion to kneel on the ground: "County Lord Mingjian, the Hou Mansion has never secretly colluded with anyone, this evil animal escaped from Zhuangzi, I don't know when it will be with those people, snakes and rats, and it really has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion." ”

Jiang Xinyue didn't really want to do anything to Anyang Hou, for the sake of Mu Ruqing's feelings, she just knocked it out, so she immediately said: "Master Hou, please get up, I naturally know that the Hou Mansion is in the dark, and this Liu Xi'er is too hateful." ”

An Yanghou got up tremblingly with the support of the little maid and pinched a cold sweat.

"Ransacked? Is there any evidence? Who knows if it's your nonsense to coax everyone again. Liu Xi'er bit Ruan Mianmian and naturally didn't let go.

"Then tell me, why Mianmian found you, and why did he harm so many unrelated people?" Jiang Xinyue also refused to give a step.

"You! I know what she thinks! "Then you have always had a grudge against her, and you have drugged her, why are you willing to help her?" Jiang Xinyue pressed forward step by step.

Without waiting for Liu Xi'er to react, Jiang Xinyue's words changed: "It's okay if you can't say this, it's just that you, a pampered eldest lady, were sent to Zhuangzi to take care of it, how could you escape so easily?" Didn't someone deliberately let you out? When she said this, Jiang Xinyue glanced at Cui Qi, the steward of Zhuangzi who was still kneeling on the ground.

Cui Qi looked up and saw Jiang Xinyue looking at him, her eyes dodged, and cold sweat broke out, so she almost didn't write the word "weakness" on her face.

Seeing this, Anyang Hou's angry beard trembled: "Tell the truth quickly, if you don't say it, will your family still live in Beijing?" ”

Then Cui Qi remembered that there was still a family to take care of, so he simply straightened his neck and choked up: "Hou Ye, I said, after I said it, I also begged Hou Ye and the county lord to allow my wife and children to have a place to live, my wife is still more than seven months pregnant, she can't be frightened!" ”

"Then say quickly, if you tell the truth and the truth, we will not embarrass your family." Jiang Xinyue heard him say that he had a pregnant wife at home, and she couldn't help but restrain a little cold.

"That's right, that night I was ordered to stay outside the door of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady suddenly clamored to drink porridge inside, so I went to the kitchen and brought a bowl over, but the person on duty with me suddenly had a pain in the abdomen, so I hurriedly put down the porridge and called someone to carry him to the hospital. When I came back to my senses, the eldest lady asked me to help bring the porridge in, I didn't think much about it, after I went in, the eldest lady asked me to drink the porridge, how dare I drink it, but the eldest lady sat straight on my lap, and I couldn't get out for a while, "Speaking of this, the Cui Qi quietly raised his head and glanced at An Yanghou.

"Speak quickly!" An Yanghou had already guessed what had happened, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"Yes, yes, the eldest lady tempted me and forced me to do it with her... After doing that misdeeds, she threatened me afterwards that if I didn't let her go and keep it a secret, she would... She told others about us and punished me for being disrespectful, so she didn't dare to say anything. What the little one said is true, and he will never dare to deceive anymore, and he will ask the Hou Ye for mercy. ”

Anyang Hou flicked his sleeves and kicked Liu Xi'er with his foot suddenly, Liu Xi'er fell to the ground, her hair was torn off in half, she was really embarrassed.

"It stands to reason that this is Hou Ye's family matter, and the county lord will not interfere much, as for this Cui weapon, it will be handed over to Hou Ye to deal with, but Liu Xi'er is suspected of poisoning people, slandering the daughter of the good family, and also involving the people of the county lord, so I have to check it, and Hou Ye will not blame it." Jiang Xinyue stood aside as if she was laughing, she guessed that there was something greasy here, but she didn't expect this Liu Xi'er to be such a shameless person, and she suddenly felt that it was not interesting to fight with her.

"Weichen doesn't dare, it's all up to the county lord to take it." Although the Marquis of Anyang is not a native here, he also knows that there are some things whose identity is overwhelming, after all, this huge Hou Mansion can't be pulled into the water because of a bad daughter, and he would rather abandon her than affect others.

"That's good, this Liu Xi'er has been stolen and seized, punished for several crimes, and handed over to Dali Temple for trial, the county lord is present today, and he can testify that the others in the Hou Mansion of Anyang do not know, and there is no need to implicate the Hou Mansion at this time." Jiang Xinyue This is the first time to use her identity to do things, and she feels unspeakably relaxed, and sure enough, it is more convenient for the wicked to be punished if her identity is higher.

At that moment, a little servant came over to tie up Liu Xi'er and go to the official mansion, but he heard a sharp singing promise outside the door: "King Qi has arrived!" “

So a team of guards strode in with King Qi, King Qi was still holding a clear jade teapot in his hand, and the tail of his eyes was indescribably weird and evil, but the words were gentle and calm: "This is the new sister of this king, it is really a beautiful and beautiful country, charming and moving." “

On the new word, King Qi also read it emphatically. What he said was Jiang Xinyue, saying that she was the new sister, but he was sarcastic that she was not born to the Queen Mother and had an improper background.

Jiang Xinyue didn't change her expression, and looked at King Qi with a smile: "Hello Brother Wang, Brother Wang has not entered the palace in the past two days, so naturally he has no chance to talk to his sister." "If you haven't entered the palace, you are sarcastic that King Qi can't sit on the throne, King Qi is ruthless but stupid, how can this clear-eyed person not see his Sima Zhao's heart.

As soon as these two people met, they carried guns and sticks, and the dark tide was surging, but the rest of the people could only salute in a proper manner, after all, no matter how unpopular they were, they were also a prince.

"On this big night, why did Brother Wang come, could it be that he heard that there was a good show to watch here, but he couldn't come to see the play?"

"How can this king have such leisure, it's just that I heard that Liu Xi'er, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyang, planned to kill people and was arrested, so I just came to check." King Qi raised the tail of his eyes and glanced at Liu Xi'er, who was lying on the ground, with some disgust in his eyes.

"This matter has been investigated, but Liu Xi'er fled in a vain attempt to do evil and blame others, and my sister has sent her into Dali Temple, do you think this is appropriate?" Jiang Xinyue's eyes were half-open, and she said a little perfunctorily.

"This, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, I think it's a misunderstanding, originally this king still wanted to enter the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and let Miss Xi'er come to my house to be a lady, I don't know if my sister will give this king this face." Although King Qi said this, he did not restrain the disgust in his eyes at all.

Jiang Xinyue burst out laughing, and asked with some surprise: "Brother Wang, are you serious?" ”
