Chapter 12 Yatang
"Tang Qianyi, the person who is being sued has been brought, what is the accusation?"
"My lord, Chen Furen doesn't kneel in the face of adults, he despises the yatang, and the little woman doesn't dare to speak."
Without waiting for Jing Zhaoyin to reply, Chen Furen said lightly: "I am an official from the first grade, how can I kneel to be an official of the fourth grade." ”
"In the yatang, there is no official rank." Tang Qianyi is not relenting.
After a few words, the atmosphere in the yatang became tense. Jing Zhaoyin also didn't know what to say on it. Seeing this, Ye Yan stepped forward and pressed Chen Furen to his knees.
Chen Furen's face turned crimson, and he looked sideways, staring at Tang Qianyi on the side.
Tang Qianyi said slowly: "I will sue Chen Furen for setting fire to my shop, and second, accuse him of taking advantage of his position to commit the crime of smuggling." ”
"Empty mouths and white teeth, no evidence." Chen Furen said fiercely.
Tang Qianyi smiled slightly and gestured to Morning Star. After a while, a man was taken to the yatang. She looked at the man and said, "This man replaced the gunpowder in the firecrackers that children were playing with toner, and coaxed the children around him to throw the firecrackers into my backyard. My lord, should he be convicted of arson? ”
"Can the people in the hall confess?"
"My lord, it's not me, someone paid me to do this."
"The one who tells you what you commanded."
"My lord, I, I don't know." He had only glanced at the man, and he didn't know his name.
The corners of Chen Furen's mouth hooked, and he looked at everything in the yatang indifferently, as if he was watching a play in the theater garden.
"Then you admit it." Tang Qianyi said, and motioned to Yeqi to bring the group arrested by the post station.
Looking at Chen Furen and another man in the yatang, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion felt a chill in his heart, and as soon as he knelt down, he shook off all the things: "My lord, I'll say it all." The old man and Miss Tang signed a note, ordered four carts of incense, and sent it in two parts. The lord paid the deposit, and if Miss Tang did not deliver it on time, she would return twice the deposit and two carts of incense. So the master asked me to find someone to burn down Miss Tang's shop. ”
"In addition, this is a record of the official post exchanges, and my lord can see it." Tang Qianyi presented another booklet, "I believe that adults can be convicted." ”
Chen Furen didn't expect the housekeeper to be so relaxed, and he hated it in his heart.
Jing Zhaoyin patted the shocked wood and cleared his throat: "Can Chen Furen plead guilty?" ”
"Hmph," Chen Furen snorted lightly, "My sin can only be convicted by the officials." ”
Tang Qianyi remembered that the shop was running at that time, and although the government came, it was just a hasty glance, so he ignored it. This Jing Zhaoyin was really unreliable, so he stood up by himself, looked at Chen Furen coldly, and said, "Since the government can't take you into custody, let the military department come." ”
Only then did Ye Yu bring soldiers to escort all the people in the yatang down. And the two carts of incense, escorted by the government, were sent back to the shop.
Forget about this one thing, Tang Qianyi felt that there was something wrong in her heart, she went through the matter carefully from the beginning of buying a shop, only to find that she had been led by others, and the matchmaker was Yang Liu.
She bit her lip lightly and immediately asked Morning Star to prepare a car and go to Yangliu's Villa. Unlike last time, this time Menzi saw that it was her, and he didn't stop her, so he let her in directly.
"I knew you were coming to me." Yang Liu smiled at her.
"So what are you for?"
"Don't you think it's funny?" Yang Liu slowly poured a cup of tea for Tang Qianyi and put it in front of her, "Pinpin, Pu'er in southern Yunnan." ”
Seeing that Tang Qianyi didn't move, he continued: "Do you know, you have made a great contribution to the emperor. ”
"How can I have that much ability?" Tang Qianyi sneered, "Aren't you all good?" While you helped me talk about business with Chen Furen, you implied that Chen Furen swallowed my incense. ”
"I'm just telling him that the Beicang Sijia clan and you are both from Suyang."
"No wonder. As long as you inquire a little in Beicang, you can know that the eldest sister is happy, and the entire palace is looking around for things related to Su Yang, for Chen Furen, smuggling Su Yang's incense to Beicang is very profitable. ”
"People who are interested in profit are naturally willing to take some risks."
"The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion is so easy to tell the plate, it's also because of you, right?"
"Uncle Tian, you say? He was originally introduced to the Chen Mansion by me. ”
"The records of the post station, the account book of the Chen Mansion, it is so easy to get, it is also natural." Tang Qianyi looked at Yang Liu, she really looked like a fox, and she also had a fox-like heart. Chess pieces, made chess pieces again, heh!
Yang Liu casually played with the teacup in his hand, and his slender and white fingers covered the jade porcelain cup, adding some strength slightly, and his fingertips were flushed red.
"Don't you think Miss Qianyi is very happy? A sanctimonious and insatiable person like Chen Furen deserves such a fate. He added some more tea to his cup, "Besides, it will only do you good." ”
"I really trusted the wrong person." Tang Qianyi didn't wait for him to answer, he got up and left, and only took two steps when he heard Yang Liu's voice behind him: "Do you really think that I set up such a game just to treat Chen Furen?" ”
Seeing that Tang Qianyi stopped, Yang Liu continued: "Chen Furen was punished, for me, there is no harm but no benefit. ”
Tang Qianyi turned around, looked at him in astonishment, and asked, "Then why are you?" ”
Yang Liu stood up at this time and said leisurely: "I said it was for you, do you believe it?" Yang Liu saw that she was speechless and smiled, "Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." Besides, I promised you to teach you how to do business, and this is the first lesson. ”
Sure enough, as Yang Liu said, after Chen Furen's incident, Huang Qingbai was much more honest, not only did he not look for an excuse to collect money from himself, but also found an excuse to send money to himself.
"Miss, this is a letter from the eldest lady." Morning Star held an envelope in his hand and sent it to Tang Qianyi's room.
"Eldest sister?" As soon as Tang Qianyi heard the news of the eldest sister, she hurriedly put down the pen in her hand, took the envelope from Chenxing's hand, and carefully opened it, the letter read: "My sister Huijian, the day before yesterday, has been separated for more than a month, and now the sisters are on one side of the day, I just hope that they are well." The day before yesterday, Ji Mengzheng Lan, very happy, hereby informed. Read well, Sister Wanqin. ”
In just a few sentences, Tang Qianyi read it four or five times repeatedly, and Chenxing looked at her and burst into tears, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what did the eldest lady say in the letter?" ”
"Morning Star, eldest sister is happy." Tang Qianyi happily pulled the morning star, pointed to the letter and said, "Look, the day before yesterday, Ji Mengzheng Lan." He also instructed Morningstar to prepare a letter and plan to reply to Scarlett.
"Eldest sister Huijian, I am overjoyed to learn the good news." Tang Qianyi only wrote a few sentences, and then put down the pen, she wanted to talk to the eldest sister too much, so much that she didn't know where to start, and there were only a few words that melted into the ink. I really didn't know how to put pen to paper, so I had to write in the back, "Read well, sister Qianyi." Then he put his pen down.
However, the letter was only sent from the post station, and it was robbed halfway through.
"Prime Minister." The man robbed the letter and sent it to Kong Yuan.
Kong Yuan glanced at the envelope in the man's hand, and did not take it, but simply commanded a few words: "Well, just write on the letter, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, don't be impatient." ”
A man dressed as a scholar next to him took the letter, but did not open it, and wrote on the envelope the twelve characters that Kong Yuan said with a brush dipped in lime water.
