Although the few officials who came this time were extremely polite to the shopkeeper Ye, and it could even be said that they were treated preferentially, they were neither tied nor flailed, nor pushed, but they just surrounded him in the middle in a semi-encircled form and walked towards the county government together.

Still, onlookers began to point fingers.

The crowd who didn't know the ins and outs of the matter was a little surprised, although they didn't know what was going on, but they knew in their hearts that Shopkeeper Ye must have been in trouble, otherwise they would not have been surrounded by a few yacha and walked towards the county ya.

There are those who understand the truth of the matter, and they begin to feel sorry for the shopkeeper Ye. Putting aside all other factors, his courage is also great, and he dares to take the work that no one dares to take.

Now it's okay, it's a big deal.

It's okay to make money, but someone like him who doesn't care about the lives of others and can't see his own strength clearly deserves it.

As for those who had just come out of Liuyunxuan's top-level private room after drinking all night and feeling the breath of Fu Wu Niang, their faces were full of contempt. Before, the shopkeeper Ye was very popular, and they naturally didn't say anything. Now, it's the best interpretation of abandoning literature and business, and feeling obscene.

One of the scholars, who looked quite handsome on the outside and was dressed as a showman, said: "I have long said that he is insulting Sven, but some people still don't believe it. is obviously a showman, and he doesn't study well, but he went to be a shopkeeper, and he didn't get contaminated with the copper smell all over his body. ”

He knew very well in his heart that when the shopkeeper Ye went, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky. If you accidentally enter the prison, even if you are released later, it will definitely be insulated from the imperial examination.

After saying that, maybe he drank too much and suddenly had a hiccup. Hurriedly covered his mouth with some embarrassment. In his opinion, hiccups in public are also insulting.

Hearing this, another scholar also said: "That's right, think about how many of us, which one has passed the test in one time?" It's not that after falling off the list again and again, I didn't give up, and continued to insist on studying, which led to today's results. ”

"Yes, yes, where is it so good to lift people. It is impossible to understand without a few failures. It is no wonder that the sages would say that without a cold bone, how can there be a fragrant plum blossom. ”

I have to say that this is said very beautifully, which not only belittles Shopkeeper Ye for not being able to afford to lose and has no toughness, but also secretly praises all these people. They're all lifters.

To be precise, it was a person who was admitted with great difficulty and spent all his family's savings.

In this regard, several people agreed, and they all remembered their own struggles. But they forgot that many of them had parents who were still working hard in the countryside, and that their wives had to work in the morning and in the dark, and that they had to embroider in the evening, in exchange for silver for their education.

Shopkeeper Ye naturally heard these people's discussions, but he didn't care at all. It doesn't matter at all whether a person is doing well or not, and what he does in which industry. If he had been as persistent as they had at the time, he might have had a day in high school. But what will his father and mother be like at that time, and how tired will his brother be?

If life gives him another chance to choose, he will not regret his original choice. The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Ye straightened his back and followed the yacha with an expressionless face and continued to walk forward. Such a comparison compares those who mock him with his bent waist.

The character of a scholar should not be like this.

Although the county Yali Zhenbao Zhai is not far away, the shopkeeper in Liye can complete this section of the road in more than ten minutes at most on weekdays. It's just that today's time seems to pass very slowly, as if it has been a long time, and the county government has not yet arrived.

The crowd of onlookers automatically surrounded both sides of the street, and a few yacha were left walking in the middle with the shopkeeper Ye, which was very weird.

He once fantasized that he would one day be able to go to high school, be proud of the spring breeze, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and be watched by everyone. Now it's really all in the spotlight, but it's definitely not what he wants.

finally arrived at the county office, and the crowd had already surrounded the entrance of the county office. Seeing that the yacha came with the shopkeeper Ye, the onlookers automatically made way for them. But when they passed by, it was immediately taken over again.

Everyone craned their necks to look in, for fear that they would be blocked and miss out on some wonderful details.

As soon as the shopkeeper Ye entered the door, he saw Qi Yuanwai lying on the ground humming. Although he was "sick", this was a public court after all, representing the prestige of the imperial court, so Bai Zhixian did not allow him to lie on the chair.

However, thinking that he was also unwilling to lie on the ground, Tang Xiang sat down again and let Qi Yuanwai pilllow on his lap, which made the two of them look quite funny.

Xu is Tang Xiang has just pinched hard, Qi Yuanwai looks so swollen at the moment, presumably Tang Xiang has made a lot of effort again. That's what makes it all look so realistic.

At this moment, Qi Yuanwai's face was pale, his whole body was soft, and his breathing was not smooth, but it didn't seem like he could pretend to be able to do it.

What everyone didn't know was that in order to achieve this effect, in addition to what had been discussed before, Tang Xiang quietly doubled the laxatives in Qi Yuan's diet, and only then did he have the weak Qi Yuan in front of him.

When it comes to his usual hobbies, it seems to be overindulgent.

"Who is standing in the hall?" Bai Zhi County made it clear that he wanted to do business.

No matter how familiar the person standing in front of him was, and how much political capital he had earned for him, he still pretended not to know him and tried his best to get rid of suspicion.

"Xiaosheng Ye Yuntian is the big shopkeeper of Zhenbao Zhai." Shopkeeper Ye arched his hand and said, he knew in his heart that this might be the last time he used the identity of Xiucai in his life. According to the laws of this dynasty, those who have been imprisoned and are proven guilty will be erased from the identity of Xiucai.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Ye claimed to be a little student, and seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not kneel, Bai Zhixian felt a heartache in his heart for no reason. Like Ye Yuntian, he also came from a humble background, if it weren't for the big tree of Gu Mansion, he would definitely not have achieved such an achievement as he is now.

Just look at Master Li, you know, obviously full of talent, but now he is just a master. How difficult the career of a poor student with no background is, they know better than anyone else.

"Now Ju Bao Zhai's Qi Yuan and his big shopkeeper Tang Xiang sued you for not doing your own power, privately receiving orders, causing Ju Bao Zhai to suffer heavy losses, and now you need to pay 10 million taels, can you be guilty?"

"Xiaosheng is guilty and willing to bear it."

Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers exploded again.

"Oh my God, he actually recognized it, he actually recognized it like this!"

"It's so strange to admit the mistakes you made!"

There is also a person who knows a little about the inside story and said: "What do you know, in this case, he has to admit it if he doesn't recognize it!" ”

Listening to the loud discussion of the crowd, after giving a silent warning, Shirachi continued the interrogation. "Is anyone else involved in this?" He asked, as usual, and had to ask. Everyone knows that the behind-the-scenes boss of Zhenbao Zhai is Gu Fu after all.

"Tell my lord, this matter was done by Xiaosheng alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." Shopkeeper Ye replied categorically.

Hearing this, Tang Xiang hurriedly said: "As far as the villain knows, this is indeed the case. It's just that the shopkeeper Ye is so ambitious, and he wants to surpass his peers, hide from the owner, and take orders privately. ”

At this time, he naturally knew to protect the Gu family's face. And taking care of the face of the Gu family is to save the face of Baizhi County.

Hearing this, Bai Zhixian completely relieved himself.

What he was most afraid of was that Shopkeeper Ye and Tang Xiang both insisted on suing Gu Fu, or one of them would bite the bullet and insist on letting go, then it would be troublesome. Now it's okay, Shopkeeper Ye has put all the crimes on himself, and it seems that he is indeed responsible.

"In that case, the official will take you into custody. As usual...... "Bai Zhixian was about to say the verdict when a clear female voice suddenly remembered.

"Wait!"

"Who is roaring in the hall?" Bai Zhixian said angrily. As soon as he saw that it was Yao Wushuang, this anger was even worse. This girl is notoriously cunning and vicious, and she appears at this time, not knowing what will happen.

It would not be good if there was any variable, because he stared at Yao Wushuang nervously, and gave her a look, which made Bai Zhixian's eyes cramp.

But Yao Wushuang just turned a blind eye and insisted on kneeling.

"Yao Wushuang, a folk girl, meet the county magistrate." Yao Wushuang knelt down easily and said: "Come to think of it, everyone knows that Baizhi County is honest and honest, and the case will definitely be handled impartially." However, I want to ask Qi Yuanwai, oh no, Qi Yuanwai was stimulated. Looking at this, he must not be able to speak, and it is unknown whether he is worried about his life. So, I would like to ask Mr. Tang, according to that contract, when is the last delivery date? ”

Obviously, Yao Wushuang's IQ at the moment is online, and he immediately asked the most critical place. She signed the order, and she knew that the final delivery date was tomorrow.

Since the final delivery date has not yet arrived, then, the shopkeeper Ye cannot be convicted now. After all, there's still one day!

This is also the method she just went to find Gu Xixi, and the two of them worked together to come up with it. And Yao Wushuang is not worried that Shopkeeper Ye will not be able to come out at all now, because Gu Xixi has already made it very clear that the silver will be collected by tomorrow morning at the latest.

"Tomorrow." Tang Xiang said reluctantly.

Hearing this, Yao Wushuang smiled and said contemptuously: "That's it." Since tomorrow is the last day, why is Shopkeeper Tang so anxious to let people go to prison today? Isn't it too anxious? ”

Tang Xiang said again: "We have a small business in Jubao Zhai, where do we dare to compare with the rich Zhenbao Zhai." I think you don't care about losing this business, but Jubao Zhai doesn't dare. Tang Mou is old and young, and when he saw that the owner had fainted, he was in a hurry, so he ...... Poor Qi Yuanwai, who is honestly doing business, unexpectedly suffered such a catastrophe. ”

Seeing that he was a big man and began to complain, Yao Wushuang was about to say something, but was decisively interrupted by Bai Zhixian: "So that's the case!" This girl is right, tomorrow is the last delivery date, so Ye Yuntian will be temporarily detained today and tried again tomorrow. Retire! ”

It's no wonder that he just wanted to protect the face of the Gu family and Zhenbaozhai, and he ignored such an important information.

After speaking, his own servant stepped forward to detain the shopkeeper Ye and take him to the prison. Yao Wushuang rushed forward without thinking about it, trying to stop the servant.

Shopkeeper Ye said: "It's already good that you have this heart, and there is no need to do anything for me." I'm afraid I'm going to be doomed this time. You guys, don't run for me anymore, it's not worth it. ”

To be honest, at this moment, Shopkeeper Ye felt a little grateful in his heart.

What if he and Gu Xixi have a good relationship, what if they have children, at this time, the person who came to speak for him was Yao Wushuang, who he had never been used to.

Yao Wushuang hurriedly said: "Don't say anything worthy or not, if it weren't for you, it would definitely be me who is being detained now." And it's not the delivery date, why should I arrest you and put you in prison. And I discussed it with my cousin......"

Speaking of this, he hesitated and stepped forward and said in the ear of Shopkeeper Ye: "Don't worry, we are raising money, and we can get it together tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Ye said: "If I don't come, who will come, this shop was originally managed by me, and if something happens, I am naturally responsible." You have a girl's family, and you are in prison...... And this silver is not a decimal, ten million taels, hey......"

Even if he scraped together enough money to save him, he could be regarded as owing a huge favor, and he couldn't pay it off in his life.

"Then you went to prison for a show...... Yao Wushuang's voice was a little choked.

At this moment, she finally understood that she had not looked away. How many people are willing to stand up at such a critical moment as Shopkeeper Ye? She admits that at the beginning, she had a crush on his Yushu Linfeng.

But now it seems that the character is not bad at all.

"Alright, let's go back quickly," said Shopkeeper Ye. Whether it was Tang Xiang or Bai Zhixian, it was impossible to let him out. After all, if he escaped overnight, Bai Zhi County would be the first to be implicated.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll go back. I'll take care of it in prison, and you'll be wronged in it all night, and you'll be able to come out tomorrow." Yao Wushuang knew that Shopkeeper Ye would not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Although it was only one night, and with Bai Zhixian's care, he would not suffer at all, but a showman, who went to prison, even if it was only one night, is like a yellow flower girl who was kidnapped by someone.

I'm afraid that from now on, his proudest identity will be gone.

Thinking of this, Yao Wushuang's anger was full of nowhere to vent, and he only felt like his whole person was about to explode. She Yao Wushuang has a good background, and she has never been hindered since she was a child.

It's good now, it's been calculated by two villains.

Coincidentally, at this time, Tang Xiang helped Qi Yuanwai and was about to get up from the ground. Seeing that Bai Zhixian handled it impartially and put Ye Yuntian out of prison, both of them were very happy.

Especially Tang Xiangyou, it is called a beauty in his heart.

As long as today passes, Ye Yuntian will be completely finished. When the time comes, I think Fu Wuniang will also empathize with her. After all, no one likes someone who has ever been in prison.

Qi Yuanwai still didn't know that it was Tang Xiang who gave him another laxative, so although he was weak, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. As long as Shopkeeper Ye is imprisoned, or leaves Qingshan County, then the fate of Zhenbao Zhai being overtaken is just around the corner.

At that time, his Jubao Zhai will be the leader of the jewelry industry in Qingshan County.

Seeing this, Yao Wushuang had a plan, she didn't plan to let Tang Xiang go.

It turned out that when she just went to Gu Xixi for help, Gu Xixi went to Gu's mansion. So, Yao Wushuang hurriedly followed again.

When she arrived at Gu's mansion, Gu Xixi was playing with her two children in the garden, but Mrs. Qin was talking to Zhou's mother. Yao Wushuang heard it clearly, it turned out that the reason why Qi Yuanwai fell ill was not because he was really stimulated, but because Tang Xiang gave him a lot of laxatives.

If you want to say that Tang wants to be really ruthless, he doesn't care about the life or death of Qi Yuanwai at all. Replaced by ordinary people, it's just a matter of putting in a sufficient amount. He is different, and he has doubled, which makes all the outsiders not like people, and ghosts are not like ghosts.

Therefore, when everyone dispersed, Yao Wushuang slowly walked to Qi Yuanwai's side and said softly: "Qi Yuanwai, you have to be careful, this vomiting and diarrhea is easy to say, but it is just a minor illness." But if the diarrhea is severe, it is difficult to protect the old life. If you don't believe me, ask the doctor to see if I'm lying. ”

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yao Wushuang's gourd, Tang Xiang knew in his heart that there was absolutely nothing good.

Yao Wushuang's expression when he looked at Ye Yuntian just now stung him deeply, thinking that at the beginning, Fu Wuniang also looked at Ye Yuntian with this kind of look. Isn't it just that he looks a little handsome, he doesn't understand why there was Fu Wuniang before, and now there is another Yao Wushuang.

Looks aside, he's also talented. It's a pity that people in the world are like this, they only value the skin, and automatically ignore the others.

So, Tang Xiang said with a smile: "Wushuang girl, you have to pay attention to your words, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, what is not a lot, it is really ......"

He originally wanted to say something ugly and damage his reputation. But after thinking about it, this Yao Wushuang is a real violent person, and he may pounce on him and hit him. The Qin clan is a poisonous scorpion again, and he is the most protective of his shortcomings, who knows how he will deal with him afterwards.

Moreover, in the current situation, it is really not appropriate to make extraneous branches.

Unexpectedly, Yao Wushuang was not angry, but kept up with Qi Yuanwai, who continued to move forward with Tang Xiang's support. Qi Yuanwai just wanted to go to the hospital again at the moment, because he knew that Yao Wushuang was right.

He wanted to put the shop in the leading position, but physical health came first.

However, what Yao Wushuang said next made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Outside of Qi Yuan, it's not that I, Yao Wushuang, am nosy, it's just that, for the sake of your Jubao Zhai and Jubao Zhai, I have to remind you to be careful of the people around you. I don't need to talk about it this time, everyone knows it. You said that you didn't get sick sooner or later, why did you fall down when the shopkeeper Tang wanted to sue Zhenbaozhai in advance? ”

Saying that, regardless of Qi Yuanwai's confused face and Tang Xiang's hellish expression, he continued: "It's a good thing to have money to earn, but you also have to see if you have a life to enjoy it." This laxative, the amount of the next serving is actually enough. Now, you're eating double. Just like you, hey, I don't know if I'll be able to get through it. I'm gone, take care. ”

After speaking, Yao Wushuang clapped his hands, got into the carriage and left.

It didn't seem to be enough, so he opened the curtain and said, "If you can't get through, think about it, who is the biggest beneficiary!" Shopkeeper Ye is okay, it's just that he was framed, and you ......"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yao Wushuang's words couldn't be more obvious. And Qi Yuanwai also remembered that he hadn't eaten any special food in the past few days, but he came according to his previous habits.

The only possibility is that someone has drugged themselves.

Tang Xiang had a big head for a while, he didn't know how Yao Wushuang knew about the drugging, but the most important thing at the moment was that it was better to confess. Qi Yuanwai must have understood in his heart that it would not be good if he blindly denied it.

So, Tang Xiang helped Qi Yuanwai to sit down again, and then knelt down straight and said, "This medicine is indeed given by me, but I don't want to harm you, but to make you look really sick." In this way, everyone, including the county magistrate, will sympathize with you and hate Ye Yuntian. I'll help you go to the Crane Year Hall right away, Dr. Zhang's medical skills are excellent, and I don't want to get in the way. When this matter is over, you can fire me. However, we must take the opportunity to get rid of Ye Yuntian and destroy Zhenbao Zhai. ”

I have to say that Tang Xiangyou's words were very convincing, and he listened to Qi Yuanwai very convincingly. Yes, whether you are expelled or not is in the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to defeat Jumbo Zhai.

After thinking about it, he didn't speak, just sighed, and asked Tang Xiang to help himself go to the Crane Year Hall again. Since then, a seed of doubt has been planted in Qi Yuanwai's heart.

For Tang Xiangyou, he is no longer obedient.

As soon as the guards opened the door to the prison, the light took the opportunity to penetrate and reveal a passage. It was as if the end of the light was hell, and it was as if there was no road at all. Shopkeeper Ye walked between the two officials and walked towards the room that Bai Zhixian had arranged for him.

At first, the road was like a tunnel, and the top was not high, barely enough to pass people. After walking this section, it was impressively cheerful, and many cells were neatly arranged.

Along the way, some people kept shouting "wronged", and some people even tried to stretch out their hands to stop the two officials. In this regard, the official who walked in front did not have any expression at all, nor did he make any stop.

But the one in the back, I don't know where to find a whip, and hit the outstretched hand without hesitation. Suddenly, the touch of being whipped reached the ears of Shopkeeper Ye through that wonderful sound.

It's another walk, but it's not yet at the destination.

If it was said that the road just now was beaten by shouting grievances, in the next part of the road, Shopkeeper Ye saw what it means to be really beaten and abused, and thought that this was a group of people who refused to admit their mistakes, so they were severely beaten by the officials.

In addition, he saw rats running all over the ground, as well as the festering skin of the prisoners, and the bodies of people who were no longer recognizable.

finally walked through most of the prison, and the shopkeeper Ye finally arrived at his room. According to what Yao Wushuang said, it was done in advance. Actually, there is no need for Yao Wushuang to say, the shopkeeper Ye sitting on the stool can also understand.

The road was full of misery, but now he is intact, with a stool to sit on, a bed to sleep on, and a room for himself.

Suddenly, he understood that Bai Zhixian was giving him a boost.

Perhaps, it is a direct **naked hint to him, if he dares to put the responsibility on others, or tell the truth, then what he saw on the road just now is what he will suffer in the next moment.

For now, he was treated favorably, living in the most comfortable room in the prison, enjoying peace and purity.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Such preferential treatment is to make him give the rest of his life.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight filtered through the crack in the wall, like a beam of light, shining a fine light on the fine dust and particles. These things that are not seen at all in ordinary life are so clear at the moment, and they seem to be dancing happily.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Ye smiled, isn't he just like these dusts now? The same helplessness, the same insignificance, the same humility.

Only, even so, so what?

They still live in the sun.
