Chapter 136: False Accusations
White. The reason why Meng Ting chose the three of them was, of course, because she had inquired about their personalities early on, and she knew what kind of virtues they had. He clapped his hands, "Pick up everything." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two little servants come up with a box, and after opening the lock, he revealed the white silver inside. A box full of clothes made the three embroidery girls look straight at each other. They had never seen so much silver in their lives.
White. Seeing their greedy eyes, Meng Ting hooked the corners of her mouth disdainfully, and took out a few silver tickets from her arms, "As long as you listen to me, these are yours." ”
With a wave of his hand, the silver tickets were scattered all over the ground. Originally, those embroidery girls were still pretending to be reserved, but when they saw the silver tickets on the ground, they pounced on them with a snort, which was enough for them to spend several lifetimes, where could they still embroider in the embroidery workshop every day.
"Whatever the eldest lady says, we must be the first to look forward to the eldest lady." The three of them nodded and agreed, barely hesitating.
In the face of such a great temptation, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can resist it.
White. Meng Ting nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for them to go to the county government to beat the drum to report to Bai Jiujiu.
The drum outside the county office has not been beaten for a long time, and now someone suddenly beat the drum, which immediately attracted a group of onlookers. White hidden in the crowd. A hint of coldness flashed in Meng Ting's eyes.
Bai Jiujiu, this time it's up to you to get out
Someone recognized the identities of the three embroidery girls, and for a while, the news of the embroidery girls of the Xu family embroidery workshop beating the drum and redressing grievances spread all over the street, and the curious people surrounded the yamen.
"What happened to the three of you?" The county magistrate sat down in the lobby and slapped the shocked wood heavily.
The three of them couldn't help but shrink a little, although they promised to white. Meng Ting falsely accused Bai Jiujiu, but it was inevitable that she would be a little panicked in this environment.
Rubbing the silver ticket in her arms, the embroidery girl swallowed her saliva secretly, and mustered up the courage to speak, "We sue Bai Jiujiu of the Bai family, and we are fascinated by the embroidery. Medicine. ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd exploded with a buzz, and now Bai Jiujiu's embroidery fire is something that everyone knows. At first, some people were curious about why simple embroidery could achieve such a miraculous effect as curing all diseases, but I didn't expect it to be this reason.
For a while, cursing came and went, as the saying goes, there are many people who are popular, not to mention that Bai Jiujiu has made so much money by relying on the embroidery workshop, and there are more people who are jealous of her, and now that she has caught her handle, she naturally spares no effort to belittle the other party.
Wang Yanran was arranging flowers at home, and was thinking about how to prune the flower branches in front of her when a voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss! Miss! Oh no! ”
With a click, the hand that originally wanted to cut off the excess branches and leaves shook slightly, and a peony with the most blooming flowers fell in response.
Looking at the work in front of her that destroyed the beauty, Wang Yanran sighed, suddenly lost interest, put down the scissors in her hand, and opened to the person with some displeasure, "What's the matter?" What kind of system. ”
Qin Xin gasped slightly, and it took a while to recover, "Miss, I heard outside just now that there were three embroidery girls of the Xu family beating drums to redress grievances, Miss, go and take a look, maybe the master will be ...... Hey Miss! ”
Before Qin Xin finished speaking, Wang Yanran strode out of the door, and his father knew that although he looked righteous on the surface, the problem of collusion between officials and businessmen was indispensable.
Jiujiu's embroidery workshop has been in business for so long, there can't be any problems, the only explanation is that someone is secretly playing ghosts, I'm afraid that her father will accept other people's money and will wronged Jiujiu.
Thinking of this, Wang Yanran's steps couldn't help but speed up a little. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government, I heard the accusation of the embroidery girl, and immediately stood up, "You are talking nonsense, how could Jiujiu do such a thing, she taught you so much, you actually bite back." ”
She has been to Bai Jiujiu's shop several times, because of the good relationship, so Bai Jiujiu did not taboo her, and led her into the place where the embroidery girls worked, and at a glance, she recognized these people.
"My lord, what we said is true, don't dare to lie!" The embroidery girls put their foreheads against the ground, looking sincerely frightened, I don't know why, I thought it was Wang Yanran who was domineering and wanted people to change their confessions.
"You guys!" Wang Yanran was obviously angry and wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the county magistrate.
"Yanran, shut up!"
"Daddy!" Wang Yanran bowed respectfully, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Dad, the embroidery workshop of the Jiujiu family has been open for so long, if she uses it. medicine, how could no one find out. There are a lot of doctors among the people who buy embroidery, so they will also be fascinated. The way of medicine is not successful? Dad, this thing is definitely not so simple, I hope you will think twice. ”
The county magistrate listened to his daughter's words and hesitated.
First, the embroidery girl in Bai Jiujiu's embroidery workshop came to report the case in person, if it doesn't matter, the people in the county will say that he is the county magistrate who did not act.
Second, in fact, he has seen Bai Jiujiu, and knows that with her as a person, he should not do that kind of shoddy thing. Moreover, if he really sent someone to investigate, even if Bai Jiujiu's embroidery workshop was stained, even if she was not shoddy and had a bad reputation, his daughter would be disappointed in him.
After wrinkling his eyebrows and pondering for a while, the county magistrate sighed in a deep voice, "It's not trivial at this time, let's press these people down first and retreat!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that there is still room for change in this matter. As soon as his footsteps turned, he just wanted to report to Bai Jiujiu, but he was stopped by the county magistrate, "Yanran, go back with me, everyone is blatantly running to the court, what is it like, is this how your mother and I taught you?" Come back with me! ”
"Daddy." Wang Yanran originally wanted to say something more, but in the end, she silenced in the serious eyes of the county magistrate, and followed back home.
I only hope that Bai Jiujiu can hear the news here and be alert. Since the other party dared to pull her off the horse with such fanfare, there must be a backhand.
The county magistrate locked up the three embroidery girls and interrogated them for a long time, but they were still at a loss. As if they had discussed, they insisted that Bai Jiujiu would do something on the embroidery.
Although he knew that this matter was full of suspicions, the county magistrate had no direct evidence to prove Bai Jiujiu's innocence, and just when he was in a dilemma, the third room was overjoyed when he heard the news.
