Chapter 23 Variables
Since Liu Qingshui accepted the silver sent by those merchants that night, the court was opened the next day, and Lu Xiyi was brought to the yamen by the people in the yamen early in the morning.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the wood slammed on the table, and everyone present was startled.
Liu Qingshui stroked his mustache and looked at Lu Xiyi kneeling in the hall with disdain.
"The official has already inquired about the matter of your wine shop, and this whole thing is in your wine shop, and people came from afar but vomited and diarrhea because they drank your wine, you should apologize to these people."
Obviously, yesterday was still neutral, but as soon as I woke up, I was completely oriented towards those few people.
Lu Xiyi was not convinced, if it weren't for the fact that Ah Leng told her not to act rashly last night, she would have to shake out all the things that Liu Qingshui had received from other people's houses last night.
"That's it, hurry up and apologize to us! Because we have been delayed for so many days, it should be two hundred taels per person now! ”
Several merchants stood in a row with smug expressions on their faces.
Huang Yue'e on the side heard that the sky-high price of silver was still sinking.
She sat down on the ground at once, her hands kept fluttering on the ground, and she shouted in her duck-like voice as she moved: "Oh my God, what kind of evil has been created in our wine shop, one mourning star is enough for me to have a headache, why are there so many evil obstacles now!" ”
Huang Yue's appearance is undoubtedly like a shrew, Lu Xiyi felt embarrassed, his little face was burning red, and even the officials were covering their mouths and snickering.
Liu Dalang lifted Huang Yue's up as soon as he could.
"Dead mother-in-law, you have to divide the occasion for your playfulness, and you don't look at what place this is, your face has been lost by you."
Being so troubled by the two of them, Lu Xiyi was even more upset.
She calmed down her mood for a moment and then said: "As the saying goes, black is black, white is white, yesterday you obviously said that it is difficult to judge, how can you insist that it is the fault of our Liu's Distillery today, the truth in this ......"
Although Lu Xiyi stopped when he said this, what Liu Qingshui did last night was already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.
Liu Qingshui was annoyed and angry by what he said, and threw the thick bamboo sign heavily on the ground.
"Boldly disrupt the people, full of nonsense, torture me!"
In an instant, dozens of officials in official uniforms stood beside Lu Xiyi, and the torture equipment had been prepared.
"Do it to me!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene, it was too much for so many people to deal with a little girl.
Just when everyone was worried, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "I see which of you dares to touch her!" ”
"Ah Leng!"
Lu Xiyi was startled, she hadn't seen him since the morning, but she didn't expect him to come out suddenly at this time, but he was not dressed like usual and wore a tall official hat.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to save you?"
Ah Leng walked straight in front of Lu Xiyi.
He was followed by an entourage, and there was a large group of them standing outside the door.
"Bold! When he saw the son of the imperial doctor, he didn't hurry up and salute. ”
Liu Qingshui didn't want to believe it at first, and threatened: "Who are you boxing?" Do you think that if you casually wear clothes and bring a group of people to me, you can pretend to be Master Zhang, the Imperial Doctor? ”
Ah Leng looked calm and didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
Seeing this, the entourage hurriedly took out a token and put it in front of Liu Qingshui: "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look at whether this is true or false." ”
Liu Qingshui approached the token and carefully identified it for a while, and the word "royal" on it frightened his soul.
Suddenly, his knees weakened, and he knelt heavily in front of Ah Leng.
"The adults spare their lives, and the little ones don't know that the adults will miss the arrival of the adults, and I hope that the adults will atone for their sins!"
Ah Leng had already sat in Liu Qingshui's seat at this time, looking at the person kneeling in front of him.
"This time this official deliberately wore civilian clothes to experience the people's feelings, but I didn't expect to meet a rogue and corrupt official like you.
He spoke.
"It's so chilling!"
Liu Qingshui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise his head.
"This ...... This subordinate was also blinded by lard for a while, and the subordinate did not do it intentionally. ”
"Both...... It's all because of this group of people who instigated the subordinates to become like this! ”
The moment the merchants were said this, it was as if they had exploded, and several people immediately quarreled.
No matter how many of them quarreled fiercely, Ah Leng didn't care about it.
He walked up to Lu Xiyi's side and gently helped her to the chair.
"Are you alright? Look at what I'm saying, miracles happen! ”
Lu Xiyi hasn't reacted from Ah Leng's identity yet, she really can't imagine that Ah Leng, who has lived with her for so long, has actually become a royal doctor.
She pointed to Cold's nose with a look of surprise.
"Are you really the Imperial Doctor as the man said?"
Ah Leng smiled and replied: "What am I lying to you about, I can't afford to bear the crime of pretending to be an official of the imperial court!" ”
The little attendant chimed in and said, "Yes, girl! Do you remember the little ones? On that day, the little one and my son-in-law were hunted down and killed, and the girl's tree was damaged, or did the little one propose to bet the son-in-law on you! ”
"Little Hurricane, my son-in-law's surname is Zhang Mingxu, he is the youngest imperial doctor in the dynasty and the youngest one in the current champion!"
Hurricane's eyes were full of admiration when he said this.
"Okay, okay, this is all in the past, and the most important thing now is to deal with these few people."
Zhang Xu said as he spoke, and suddenly turned to look at Liu Qingshui.
"Say! Where have you hidden all the corrupt silver? ”
"This ......"
Liu Qingshui didn't expect this matter to be known to him.
He replied hesitantly, "Let it go...... Put it under my bed! ”
"Go find it out for me!"
As soon as Zhang Xu gave an order, many people rushed towards Liu Qingshui's room.
In less than a moment, a whole box of bright gold appeared in front of everyone.
In front of everyone's eyes, many people can be regarded as eye-opening, because these silver taels are likely to be something they will not be able to earn in their lifetime.
And Liu Qingshui got the money that these ordinary people couldn't get in their lifetime in one night.
"The evidence is in front of everyone, what else do you have to say! And why did you wronged Liu's Distillery, what kind of grudge do they have with you! ”
Liu Qingshui hesitated for a long time, and finally admitted the fact that he couldn't resist the temptation to embezzle these silver taels.
Strangely, these merchants couldn't say anything for half a day.
Lu Xiyi stood aside and looked at a few of them like this, but he was anxious, and said, "You guys are talking!" What the hell did we Liu do to be sorry for the fact that you! ”
A few merchants, you look at me, I look at you. It was obvious that there were words hidden in the stomach, but I just didn't dare to say it, as if I was afraid of something.
"If you want me to see if they are threatened by others!"
"That's right! I think it's the same, the world is so big, there is nothing to do for money! ”
When these words reached the ears of the merchants, their pupils suddenly shook, and the passers-by who were watching the play seemed to get to the point.
After a while, the merchants whispered.
Soon after, a merchant suddenly stepped forward.
"Actually, we're not businessmen at all, and we're doing it because of ......"
Shout!
Before the merchant could speak, he was shot through the throat by a sharp arrow that suddenly burst in, and blood splattered everywhere, and the people fled in all directions.
"Protect adults and girls!"
The wind suddenly pulled out his long sword and stood in front of Zhang Xu and Lu Xiyi.
Zhang Xu put one hand on Lu Xiyi's thin body, and frowned slightly: "You're not scared, are you?" ”
How can the daughter's family not be afraid of this kind of thing all of a sudden?
She forced out a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
said that it was okay, but in his heart he kept jumping.
After Zhang Xu finished comforting Lu Xiyi, he came to the side of the merchant who had died.
Unexpectedly, not long after the arrow, the merchant's face turned lilac, and even his lips turned black.
"The poison on this arrow is still so strong, I have never seen such a poisonous medicine!"
"Hurricane, investigate what the hell is going on, I must find out!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"
Tempest clenched his fists and left.
After dealing with these things, Zhang Xu turned back to Lu Xiyi and said, "Are you tired today?" Walk! I'll take you back, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the matter of Liu's Distillery and return you to a clean slate! ”
"I will never let you be wronged!"
Lu Xiyi originally thought that Zhang Xu, as an imperial historian, had experienced such an incident, and he definitely didn't want to get involved in this incident of their winery.
Now I feel a lot more relieved to see him like this.
She was just about to say thank you when she was knocked out by Huang Yue'o, who suddenly rushed over, and was knocked out a long way.
"Ouch! It turned out to be the Imperial Doctor, I, a woman, really didn't know Mount Tai before, and I hope that the Imperial Doctor will not be like me! ”
"These so many people are so uncomfortable, otherwise let's go back to the wine shop and talk about it!"
Huang Yue's snobbish appearance can be regarded as opening the eyes of Lu Xiyi on the side, she simply didn't look at her, and just stayed in front of Liu Dalang.
When he arrived at the winery, Huang Yue's was a completely different person compared to the usual, very attentive, serving tea and snacks.
Lu Xiyi, who looked flattering, was disgusted.
After a long time, she saw that Huang Yue'o finally stopped and sat down in front of Zhang Xu, rubbing her hands, and stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!"
Huang Yue's courage when she heard Zhang Xu's words, and the words began to pop out of her mouth one by one: "That...... Doctor Yushi, you have been in our house for so long, and you should know that unassuming son of my family. ”
"I haven't had a suitable errand for so many years, I don't know if adults can ......"
