Chapter 110: The Teahouse Is Burden
"Oh? To make amends, what is the crime of the head of the Lu family, how to make amends, I have only met the head of the family a few times, and I have not made a grudge. The princess sneered, he can make enemies if he wants, and reconcile if he wants to? There is no such cheap thing in the world.
The princess looked at the head of the Lu family coldly, the head of the Lu family only felt that his face was a little unbearable, he came in a low voice, he didn't expect the princess to be so unacquainted, but he still didn't forget the purpose of coming this time, he responded with a smile: "The princess said that she was joking, the old man drank too much wine a few days ago, offended Mrs. Su, and made the princess sullen at the banquet. ”
The head of the Lu family said respectfully, he was only willing to reconcile with the princess, after all, he had never offended the princess from beginning to end, and it was Xie Wanjun who said something more in the princess's ear that made the princess prejudiced against him. Thinking of this, the head of the Lu family glanced at Xie Wanjun coldly, and then regained his generous smile.
"The head of the Lu family, this princess has never made an enmity with you, the relationship between the princess's mansion and the Lu family has always been friendly, and today the head of the Lu family suddenly offered a generous gift to ask for reconciliation, and this princess is really flattered." The princess didn't mean to reconcile, she responded coldly, and Xie Wanjun sat beside her without saying a word, watching the two of them act.
A trace of anger appeared on the face of the head of the Lu family, but he suppressed it stiffly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "The princess said that you are laughing, your status is noble, if you can continue to live in harmony with the old man, the old man must be grateful." ”
When the head of the Lu family spoke, his eyes looked at the princess from time to time, and when he saw that the princess's face was cloudy, he continued, "I wonder if the princess is willing to accept the old man's thin gift?" ”
The two secretly competed, but the princess was very proud, she said indifferently, "The head of the Lu family also said that this princess is a relative of the emperor, and she has never seen anything, if this princess accepts gifts casually, and her father knows about it, she will definitely blame her, so the head of the Lu family should please go back!" ”
The princess disdained to reconcile with the head of the Lu family, so she wanted to send him away in a few words, the head of the Lu family was a little angry, he stood up abruptly, slapped his palm on the table, endured his anger, and said viciously, "The princess is so ignorant, hum, don't pass it away." ”
The head of the Lu family left the princess's mansion angrily, and secretly said in his heart that the princess would not eat and drink when the time came, so don't blame him for being polite.
After he left, the princess and Xie Wanjun speculated about the reason why the head of the Lu family came to reconcile, after all, with the head of the Lu family, it was impossible for him to talk about the affairs of the two families for no reason, and when they had no clue, the seventh prince appeared.
"I heard that the head of the Lu family is here?" As soon as the Seventh Prince stepped into the door, he immediately asked, and then said, "In a few days, the Assassin is about to set off to inspect the achievements of various officials, presumably he is here for this matter?" ”
"No wonder, the dog can't change eating, so he said that it is impossible for Lu Lao Thief to come over to give gifts for no reason, heh, if you want to be beautiful, I must tell him all the bad things he did in front of Thorn Shi, and see how he quibbles." The princess said viciously, he knew that something was happening, but he didn't expect that it was the assassin who came to inspect the performance of the officials.
When Xie Wanjun heard this, he knew the purpose of the Lu family master's visit to the princess's mansion this time.
On the second day, after coming to the teahouse, Xie Wanjun looked at the messy things at the front desk, and was a little confused, and then she opened the drawer where the money was hidden without saying a word, and found that the money in it was gone.
"Su Qing, the teahouse has been robbed, and all the money in it is gone." Xie Wanjun shouted nervously, the money here was obtained by the teahouse for a few days, and now it is gone.
As soon as Su Qing came to the door, he heard Xie Wanjun's shout, he hurriedly walked to Xie Wanjun's side, and also saw everything in front of him, he subconsciously asked, "What now?" ”
Then Xie Wanjun immediately decided, "I'll report to the official, you watch the scene here, don't let anyone touch it." ”
After Xie Wanjun came to the official mansion, she explained everything to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate ignored her statement and only said, "This mansion is so busy that I don't have time to pay attention to your little things." ”
Seeing that the county order was ignored, Xie Wanjun felt that the county order had been bribed, so she went to the princess's mansion and explained the matter to the princess, hoping that the princess could come forward and let the county order find out the murderer.
"Let's go, Wanjun, follow me to the official mansion, I want to see how the county order refuses you." The princess took Xie Wanjun's hand and walked out, and the two went to the official mansion together, and as soon as the county magistrate saw the princess, he immediately nodded.
"I heard that you ignored the people's reports, but is there such a thing?" The princess sneered, she hated this kind of bullying the most, the Lu family was powerful and powerful, thinking that he was entrusted by others, otherwise it would be impossible for him to ignore Xie Wanjun's affairs.
"Back to the princess, the minister just asked Mrs. Su to go back to the teahouse and wait, and only after the minister finished the things in hand did he send someone to find the murderer." The county commander was sweating, he had long heard about the glorious deeds of the princess, and she was brutal and difficult.
"Oh? By the time you're done with your work, the murderer won't know where he's gone. The princess said intentionally or unintentionally, her meaning was obvious, that is, let the county order find the real culprit as soon as possible, otherwise the murderer would definitely transfer the money once he had enough time.
"Yes, yes, the minister immediately sent someone to act." After the county order finished speaking, he immediately asked the catcher to start an operation, and the catcher did not let go of a single detail, carefully searched every room, and they were unceremoniously messed up the layout in the room.
The princess never left, she wanted to see who stole the money, and Xie Wanjun didn't leave, standing beside the princess, she only hoped that the princess could make the decision for her, otherwise even if the murderer was found, she would deal with it casually if she wanted to come to the county order.
"Tell the princess, Lord Prefectural, this was found under Mrs. Su's bed." After hearing the words of the catcher, Xie Wanjun's heart trembled, how could it be found under her bed?
"You made it clear, are you sure you found it under my bed?" Xie Wanjun narrowed his eyes and looked at the catcher in front of him, as if he wanted to see the traces of lying from his face.
"Yes, my subordinates are sure that it was found under Mrs. Su's bed." Caught by Xie Wanjun's gaze, he replied firmly.
Xie Wanjun frowned, how could it be, how could she steal the money from the teahouse, and it wouldn't be Su Qing, if Su Qing wanted money, just tell her directly, and there were so many silver tickets lost this time, Su Qing had no reason to ask for it.
Xie Wanjun fell into deep thought, and when the county magistrate saw that the evidence in front of him was conclusive, he shouted loudly for his subordinates to grab Xie Wanjun, "Come on, now the evidence is conclusive, arrest the thief." ”
The county order decided in his heart that all this was Xie Wanjun thief shouting to catch the thief, and Xie Wanjun also alarmed the princess, really damn it, his voice was gloomy.
When the princess heard this, she immediately said, "Wait, who allowed you to arrest her, I dare to guarantee that Wanjun is innocent, let her go quickly, otherwise you will all go to prison." ”
The princess said domineeringly, she believed in Xie Wanjun, after all, she had been with Xie Wanjun for so long, and she knew exactly who Xie Wanjun was, so before the real murderer was caught, she would never let Xie Wanjun be arrested.
"Princess, now that the evidence is conclusive, you have embarrassed Weichen like this." The county order was hindered by the princess's rights, and said helplessly, so many people saw it, even if the princess wanted to shelter, it would be difficult to escape everyone's eyes.
"Lord Prefectural, I have something to say." Xie Wanjun pursed her lips, she also wanted to clear her name, so that she could go back and think about this matter, she always felt weird, but where the blame was, she couldn't say.
Seeing that the county order had no objection, Xie Wanjun continued, "Lord county order, I am the owner of the teahouse, let alone the money in the drawer, even the table and chair in the teahouse are mine, since they are all mine, then why should I steal the money inside?" Besides, even if it is stolen, how can he personally report it to the official? There are many loopholes in this, and I hope that the county will be aware of it. ”
Xie Wanjun tried to analyze, she was right, she was the owner of the teahouse, the money in it was hers, she had no reason to steal, so someone must have framed her.
"County order, did you hear clearly?" The princess said happily, indeed, according to Xie Wanjun's logic, she can indeed clear the suspicion, although there has been a scene of thieves shouting to catch thieves since ancient times, but like Xie Wanjun, the official report was rejected, and she went to the princess's mansion to ask the princess to come forward, they have never seen it.
"This ...... What Mrs. Su said also made some sense, but ......" The county order was immediately silent halfway through, but the princess coldly added a sentence for him, "It's just that I can't find a substitute for the dead ghost, right?" ”
"This is obvious to everyone, I believe you can think about it with your head, and you can also know that Wanjun was wronged, Wanjun, let's go!" After the princess finished speaking, she pulled Xie Wanjun and left, since Xie Wanjun was cleared of suspicion, there was no need to stay here.
The two talked about the incident on the road, Xie Wanjun suspected that someone in the teahouse was playing ghosts, and the princess saw that she was worried, so she asked, "Wanjun, what's wrong, aren't you cleared of suspicion, why are you still unhappy?" ”
"Princess, I suspect that there is a mole in the teahouse, and someone is responding to the murderer." Xie Wanjun said what she thought, if someone outside wanted to frame her, it would never be so easy, I thought that someone from the teahouse was responding, but who was that person, she had no clue now, these were just her suspicions.
The princess was slightly stunned, the mole, if there is really a mole, then the matter will be troublesome, only to hear Xie Wanjun sigh and say, "I haven't found evidence now, I'm just in the suspicion stage, but my hunch is quite accurate." ”
"Well, you'll have to take a good look, then." The princess held Xie Wanjun's finger and whispered.
