Chapter 189: Trial (3)
"Yao Dalang and Fang Xia were temporarily detained for trial. Those who beat the drum and cry out for grievances. ”
In the eyes of everyone, an old gentleman with white eyebrows and white beard came up to the hall with a crutch.
"The old man's surname is Li, a native of Huizhou. There are 12 famous fans in the house! I wanted to sell it for a good price and leave some money for future generations. I don't want someone claiming to be the steward of the Han Wangfu the day before yesterday to come to the door and say that he was buying a fan. Mr. Li was very aggrieved when he was old, "I thought it was a good thing, but I didn't want him to buy my fan, but he only gave a hundred taels of silver!" My lord, one of my silk hexagonal palace fans in front of the court is more than this price! ”
When the housekeeper Wang heard the word fan, his heart jumped heavily!
Recently, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World did order someone to search for all kinds of fans from the past and present to his favorite concubine, Mrs. Cheng, what kind of fans, folding fans, ivory fans, feather fans, and even Dongying's fans bought a few with a lot of money. Is it true that such people say that there is such a thing as forced buying and selling?
Lord Zhong glanced at the great butler Wang and asked, "What is the surname of the person who claims to be the steward of the Han Palace?" ”
The great butler called out, "My lord! It is a matter of the reputation of the royal palace, please expel irrelevant idlers. ”
Before Lord Zhong could answer, someone had already called up: "Yo, the big butler has a weak heart!" ”
"It's definitely true!"
"Yes! Otherwise, why don't you dare to let us listen! ”
Butler Wang was so angry that his face was blue and red.
Zhong Dadao: "Mr. Li is the steward of the Han Palace, not the Han King. There is no need to evict the people. Mr. Li, you are defenseless. ”
Mr. Li nodded and thanked: "The person who forcibly bought my painting claims to be surnamed Xie." ”
Lord Zhong asked, "Butler Wang, does your mansion have a steward surnamed Xie?" ”
Butler Wang swallowed his saliva and said stubbornly: "How many people are surnamed Xie, but I don't know which one he is talking about?" Wait for someone to go back and ask—"
"Then there will be the great butler of King Lao." Lord Zhong ordered two officials, "You and the big housekeeper Wang went to the Han Palace, and asked someone to come over for questioning." ”
The great steward of the king brought two retinues and whispered a few words.
When he arrived at the Han Wang's Mansion, one person went straight to inform the Han King, and one took two officials to find the residence surnamed Xie for a long time, but the person was not there!
The official said coldly: "Could it be that he knew that he had committed a crime, so he absconded!" Go back and report to Lord Zhong, let's catch the sea! ”
The entourage was shocked, don't you want to lose face in the Han Palace? Can they still live?
"No, no, no, the two big brothers wait. He must have been busy in the house. We'll find out again. ”
At this time, at the place of the concubine Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Steward Xie knelt on the cold bluestone paved floor tiles, and his legs trembled slightly: "Madame save me!" ”
Her beautiful face was cloudy, and she looked at the box of fans she had just sent yesterday and didn't say a word. How she rejoiced yesterday, how angry she is today!
Steward Xie kowtowed and said, "Madam! That old guy has no power or power! When I was buying and selling, he was very knowledgeable, and he didn't bargain with me at all, so he handed me the fan resignedly, and I thought he-"
"Idiot!" Xue Wu gritted her teeth and scolded angrily, "Buy these fans for a hundred taels, and you can open them!" She held up the feather fan with peacock silk weaving and feather tail decoration, "This fan alone is worth a hundred gold!" One hundred taels, it is polite to say that you are forced to buy, and it is clearly a forced robbery! ”
Steward Xie was dripping down in a cold sweat. It's not like this kind of thing has never been done in the Han Palace. It's just that those who have the courage to sue the official have no chance to sue the official, and those who do not have the courage to sue the official can only consider themselves unlucky. Old man Li looked as timid as a mouse, he didn't expect him to be a bold man at all!
"People don't dare to come to your face, but when they turn around, they dare to beat the drum and cry out!" Xue Wu sneered, "You're out of sight!" ”
Steward Xie had no choice but to beg: "It's me who is confused." Please help me, Madame! ”
Xue Wu really can't stay out of this matter. Although Old Man Li sued Xie Steward, everyone said that it must be the Han Wangfu that connived at his reckless behavior!
This timing is also really coincidental, firstly, after they calculated Qiantangxuan, secondly, the emperor set out on the expedition. If His Majesty comes back, the imperial history will be added to the previous book of the Han Dynasty's murder, and at the critical juncture of moving the capital, if his own family is reprimanded by the emperor, the consequences will be unimaginable! What's more, this incident started because of her. At that time, it will cause her to fall out of favor!
Xue Wu looked at the steward and said, "You can't escape the charge." But don't worry, I can guarantee that your family will be worry-free when you return from prison. ”
Steward Xie gritted his teeth and said, "It's all up to Madame's arrangement." ”
The official finally brought Steward Xie to the yamen to reply.
Everyone had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him shrink his head into the lobby, boos rang out.
"It is worthy of being the house slave of His Royal Highness the King of Han, what a big shelf!"
"Yes, let Lord Zhong wait!"
Lord Zhong waited for everyone to be quiet, and asked Mr. Li, "But he bought your fan?" ”
Old Mr. Li looked at him with wide eyes for a while, and said with certainty: "It's him!" ”
As soon as there was a startling sound, Steward Xie fell to his knees: "My lord, the little one is wronged!" This business is a matter of loss and profit! I am only a shallow learner, and I don't recognize how expensive those fans are, but I think one hundred taels is a lot, so I opened this price. After hearing this, Mr. Li hesitated for a moment and agreed-"
Knocking on the floor, Mr. Li said angrily: "Phew! You can say it! When you enter the door with a group of minions, you will use the banner of His Royal Highness the King of Han, and keep saying how a King of Han is, how His Majesty is! How dare the old man bargain with you? You obviously relied on the power of King Han and His Majesty to snatch my treasure! If I carry it with you, I'm afraid I'll lose my life on the spot! So I had to swallow my anger and give you the fan! Lord Zhong, you have to make decisions for me! ”
Xu San couldn't help but laugh: The old man's mouth is sharp. I don't think the king of Han is enough, and he has to catch an emperor!
Steward Xie hurriedly said: "Old man, you are a bloody squirting person!" How can you be sure that I am the one who committed the murder? You haven't tried it again! ”
Lord Zhong asked in a cold voice, "Where is the fan?" ”
Steward Xie didn't dare to answer.
But I heard a female voice with a clear and pleasant voice like a heavenly sound: "The fan is here." ”
Everyone is looking for prestige, and they are all amazing!
The visitor was dressed in an apricot-colored thin jacket skirt, draped in a cherry pink gauze on the outside, and the head was full of pearls and jades, and he was as beautiful as a fairy.
In the sound of gasping, Xu San sighed: "No wonder Zhang Bozhong hates Zhu Zhanqi so much that he gritted his teeth. What a great beauty! ”
Bai Tang was quite surprised: Cheng Xuewu actually went out in person!
Xue Wu gave Lord Zhong a deep bow and said: "Lord Zhong, the slave family is the person in the back house of the prince of the Han Dynasty, and he shouldn't have shown his face to do this thing that violates the discipline of the boudoir, but this matter started from the slave family, how can the slave family stay out of it?" ”
At the moment of beauty, Lord Zhong's face also softened a little, not to mention that this is the favorite concubine of the prince, so he said gently: "This case started by you?" ”
"Your Excellency." Xue Wu stood with her head down, revealing a small piece of delicate jade neck, with a graceful posture, "Because the slave family loves fans, the son of the world ordered people to search for the slave family." Unexpectedly, there was a wicked slave in the family, and he dared to deceive his superiors and subordinates! Today, when the slave family heard this, they immediately rushed to ask for sin! It was the slave's lax discipline that connived at this son to rob treasures. Although the lord is punished, the slave family and the Han Wangfu have nothing to say! ”
"This Mrs. Cheng is frank."
"Mrs. Cheng is the daughter of the Cheng family of Taichang Temple, and she has a noble and noble character!"
Bai Tang heard everyone's discussions, and secretly sneered: High character? A girl with a noble character will have a private meeting with someone before she is married, and she can't get it clear? He didn't forget the lingering scene in the dressing room on the night of Wei Guogong's wedding!
