Xie Siyun raised his eyes to look at Chu Yue, and there seemed to be a raging flame burning in his eyes: "Yue'er, if one day, I fail, will you blame me?" ”

Fail?

At that moment, Chu Yue understood what Xie Siyun meant, and smiled dumbly: "I sometimes don't understand what you are afraid of. ”

She raised her eyes to look at the gloomy sky outside as if it was snowing again, and took a deep breath: "It's for the sake of mother, we shouldn't be like this." Today's Xie family is not worth nostalgia or anything. Xie Siyun, if you don't do it, then I will definitely do it. For our mother's sake, and for our own sake. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Xie Siyun's hand reach out and pull her hand into her palm: "Yue'er, with your words, I feel that this world is as good as you." ”

It was rare for him to say such a sensual thing, which made Chu Yue more and more embarrassed.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, just like the changes in the city of Nanzhou, which is always unpredictable.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is coming soon.

The shark yarn mill resumed business on the eighth day of the new year, and batches of hank yarn were sent from the sea. The sturgeon also returned to their side in the early moon: according to the sturgeon, everyone's life on Spirit Tomb Island is much better now. What was previously uneatable can now be eaten.

Therefore, most of the former conservatives on the island have also changed their minds, and even want to come out with the sturgeon.

Those who remained on the island were also supplied, and there was no shortage of food and clothing. Everyone was thanking Xie Siyun and Chu Yue, the days of Spirit Tomb Island, but it was really very different from before.

Chuyue got up early in the morning and pinched the Lantern Festival with the sturgeon and Xiaocao, and this was the first time she had made the Lantern Festival by herself. I used to buy frozen food from the supermarket, but now it looks like it's not as delicious as the one I made.

But a bowl of hot Lantern Festival had just been put on the table, and before they could open their mouths to eat, there was a strong knock on the door: "The government has summoned, is there anyone at home?!" ”

Coming so fast?

Chu Yue looked down at the still steaming Lantern Festival on the table, but her heart was already prepared: "Not even a bowl of Lantern Festival makes people delicious?" ”

The sturgeon went to open the door, and really saw the people of the government enter the door with shackles.

But their tone was quite polite, probably because of Jing Lixin's relationship: "It's the far shopkeeper, right?" We have received a report that someone has accused your shark yarn mill of disrupting the order of the market, and also accused the boss behind your shark yarn mill of murder. If it is convenient, please cooperate with us to go to the government. We don't want to make things too ugly. ”

As early as the day the sturgeon returned, Chu Yue told her what had happened.

So for the fact that the people from the government came to the door, Yuan Sturgeon behaved quite calmly: "Okay, then please wait a while, I'll go and wear thicker, and I'll go to the government with you." ”

Yuan Sturgeon entered the door, looked at Chu Yue and Xie Siyun, and his eyes were gloomy: "They are here!" ”

Chu Yue nodded, personally handed her the big sturgeon with her own hands, and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we can go with you." Either way, nothing will happen to you. The grievances with the Xie family are always time to end. ”

Yuan Sturgeon never doubted Xie Siyun and Chu Yue's ability, so he put on a big hat and went out with the two officials.

Chu Yue turned around and met Xie Siyun's eyes.

There was only firmness and distress in his eyes: "Let's go, Chuyue." ”

Hatsuki understands that he means to face the real war together.

In the early moon, I was wearing a newly-made coat. The wind hair on the top is shiny and smooth, and it is very warm.

The hairpin that Xie Siyun gave her for the first time was on her head, and compared to everything she had now, this hairpin seemed too simple.

But for some reason, Chu Yue always felt in her heart that no matter how many things Xie Siyun gave her later, only this hairpin was her favorite and the most in line with her mind.

Xie Siyun wore a dark robe and stood beside Chu Yue very low-key.

Both of them wore hats, and on this snowy Lantern Festival, there were many people on the street wearing hats, so they didn't look very strange.

Outside the palace, a lot of people have gathered.

After all, the shark yarn workshop is in full swing in Nanzhou City these days, and everyone is very concerned about the process of things.

Although it is the Lantern Festival, after all, it is a case that has caused a sensation in Nanzhou City, and it is not good for the yamen not to open a court trial.

When Chu Yue and Xie Siyun squeezed into the crowd, they saw that the sturgeon was shackled and shackled, and knelt in the hall.

As the first to accuse, the Xie family and his wife were standing beside the sturgeon, looking high-spirited.

Almost the entire Xie family was dispatched, not only the big room and the second room, but even the old man and the old lady were invited into the hall of the government to sit, I don't know if they were observing the interrogation or being a witness for a while.

The prefect of Nanzhou City, surnamed "Liao", is sitting in the hall in the official mansion at the moment. He has a big belly and a shiny face, and he doesn't look like a good official in the early moon.

The four big words "Spiegel Justice" hung high above his head, which was a little ironic in the eyes of Chu Yue.

Jing Lixin sat next to the prefect, as if he wanted to write down the interrogation process for the prefect, in fact, he was helping the prefect interrogate.

"Bell—"

Governor Liao pretended to slap the startling wood in his hand, and then looked at the distant sturgeon kneeling in the hall: "Are you guilty?" ”

The official authority and the shelf were full of ten, but the sturgeon in the hall straightened up more and more, and raised his eyes to look at Liao Zhifu's eyes full of confusion: "The grass people don't know." ”

"Humph!"

Governor Liao snorted coldly before continuing: "The person in the hall is the far sturgeon of the shark yarn workshop? ”

"Yes."

The sturgeon's gaze was always indifferent, as if it was not in a high hall, but as casual as drinking tea in his own backyard.

This made Governor Liao a little upset: "Standing next to you is the first to tell the Xie family." The main charge is twofold, the first is that you disrupted the market order and sold illegal pearls. Are you guilty? ”

Yuan Sturgeon raised his eyebrows, just turned his head and glanced at Yan Sulan, and smiled coldly: "I don't know." As we all know, my shark yarn mill does not do pearl business. I sell skein, so why should I disrupt the market order and sell illegal pearls? ”

As soon as she said this, there were people in the hall who supported her: "Yes, her family is in the fabric business, and I have never seen a pearl seller!" ”

Yan Sulan, who was standing in the hall, hurriedly spoke: "But there are many pearls on the skeeks of the shark yarn workshop, do you dare to say that they were not sold with your skein?!" ”

"Huh-"

Yuan Sturgeon smiled coldly, and was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "Then I want to ask you Xie family, is the box you sold with the pearl when you sell pearls, is it also considered that you are illegally selling wooden boxes?" Today, my maid bought a fish on the street, and a rope was signed on the fish's mouth, but it can be regarded as the fishmonger illegally selling the rope? Yesterday I went out to buy flour, and the flour was brought to our house in baskets, but the flour merchant sold the baskets illegally? And also—"

"Dangdang Bell—"

Liao Zhifu Fu woke up the startling wood in his hand again, frowned and said to Yuan Sturgeon: "Just give an example, there is no need to say more!" ”

Then, he was silent for a moment, listening to the discussion of the people outside with his ears pricked up, and then looked at Yan Sulan and Xie Honghui: "What the shopkeeper said is ...... Reasonable. The shark mill sells hank yarn and does not sell pearls alone. Their hank was adorned with pearls, but it was also a skein, not a pearl. This official thinks that your remarks are a bit reluctant. ”

Yan Sulan's face changed, and she looked at the prefect above, as if she meant something: "The prefect is laughing!" If they had three or two pearls, it would have been fine, but how could I know that they had not privately agreed with the people who bought the hanging, and when they bought the skein, they would completely tear it down and sell it? Our Xie family is in the pearl business, and there is no shortage of pre-tax from the government on weekdays, so don't forget it! ”

Look, Yan Sulan has already taken care of this Liao prefect.

Yuan Sturgeon was still kneeling straight, and looked at the Liao Governor above without any fear: "Could it be that Mrs. Xie means that my shark yarn workshop is missing the government's taxes?!" What kind of crime is this? ”

"Ahem, ahem! This has nothing to do with this case! ”

The Liao prefect above coughed lightly, glared at Yan Sulan, and then continued to look at the distant sturgeon: "But what the Xie family said is not wrong." There are indeed some pearls of unknown origin on the market now, perhaps from your shark yarn workshop. ”

"Then my lord, please find the evidence first, and then come and talk to me!"

Yuan Sturgeon looked indifferent and shrugged his shoulders: "Now our skein, let alone Nanzhou City, even the Imperial City has someone who came to buy it." Anyway, the Xie family is determined that it is impossible for me to trace the whereabouts of every skein, so whatever the crime will be placed on us! If there is no evidence, I can't admit this charge to the shark yarn workshop anyway, and I hope that the adults will see everything and give our shark yarn workshop a justice! ”

"Yes, how can you slander people with red mouths and white teeth?!"

"I've never heard their shark yarn shop say that there is such a thing as selling pearls, I'm afraid it's not that the Xie family is jealous of their shark yarn shop making money, right?"

"Isn't it? Now the pearls of the entire Nanzhou have to be bought through his Xie family, I heard that there was a small pearl trader who was beaten by the people sent by the Xie family because the price was lower! It's clear that there is a problem with the Xie family, why should the wicked person sue first? ! ”

……

The public sentiment and public opinion in the hall have risen and fallen, and there is a bit of momentum that has to pull the Xie family down.

The Liao prefect above saw that it was not good, and he didn't dare to provoke the anger of the public, so he slapped the shocked wood again: "Okay, okay!" This matter will be investigated by the officials, so I will put it aside for the time being. Let's talk about the second Zhuang crime! ”
