Everyone can hear that there is a lot of irony in these words, but some people take it seriously: "So you admit to stealing Pei Dagongzi's jade pendant?"

"This official, I only said that Pei Shaodong's family was kind, but I didn't say that we stole his jade pendant." Xiao Mei'er said to the leading officers and soldiers: "Xu I am just a lonely and unheard of female streamer, some people, who are willing to give alms, give others money, can tolerate others to use his money to buy things in the shop he opens, but can never use the money he gives to buy things in other shops." What's even funnier is that the money was not given by the man, but by the person who bought it. ”

"What do you mean? Do you think it's fun to play an official? No matter how stupid a person is, he can hear that Xiao Meier means something. The faces of the leading officers and soldiers who were named naturally couldn't hold back, and their tones hardened: "Not to mention whether you admit to stealing Pei Dagongzi's jade pendant, just because you don't cooperate with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, this master suspects that you are being a thief, and you are determined to go to Jingzhao Mansion this time."

Zhang Mengjie and Xiao Mei'er have been arguing that they did not steal the jade pendant, and a group of people felt that a few people would not easily follow the officers and soldiers to Jingzhao Mansion, but they didn't expect to hear Zhang Mengjie say: "I have been law-abiding all my life, whether it is the county yamen or the prefect's yamen, I can't escape from Jingzhao Mansion this time." Qingfeng, Lu Deshun, the two of you will go with me and the official, and the others will stay here and continue to move the cloth to the place where it should be moved. ”

When Xu Dongjia, Luo Dongjia and Pei Yuanfu heard that Zhang Mengjie was going to follow the officers and soldiers to Jingzhao Mansion, they all began to worry in their hearts. But seeing that the few people who came with her didn't have a trace of worry at all, it seemed that it should have been like this.

This situation reminded them of what Zhang Mengjie said earlier, he was brought into the yamen without breaking the law, it is not surprising that the county yamen can come out safely, but this prefect is an official of the same grade as Jingzhao Mansion Yin, is the person who came out of there safely a simple person?

Zhang Mengjie deliberately mentioned that she had entered the Zhixian County, and the prefect's yamen was not that she didn't want to go to Jingzhao Mansion, on the contrary, she wanted to see whether this Jingzhao Mansion Yin had a social conscience, or whether his improper upper beam caused his officers and soldiers to lower the lower beam. I also want to see the reaction of these officers and soldiers.

It's a pity that Xu Dongjia, Luo Dongjia. Pei Yuanfu and the three of them understood. But Pei Shaowei and these officers and soldiers didn't have any consciousness at all, and after hearing Zhang Mengjie enter the prefect county and the prefect's yamen, they thought of the sarcasm they faced before. There was also a look of schadenfreude on his face. Especially Pei Shaowei and the leading officers and soldiers.

Even so, the leading officers and soldiers were still afraid of the majesty in front of Zhang Mengjie, so they forgot to react. Pei Shaowei said: "It's you who didn't listen to what the official said." How can people who have been to this county and the prefect's yamen be innocent? ”

The leading officers and soldiers just wanted to echo Pei Shaowei, but they heard Zhang Mengjie sneer: "Are you Jingzhao Mansion Yin?" Can you condemn us based on your words alone? Even if we are suspects. You have no right to search and detain our things without conclusive evidence. If you are afraid that they will do anything to the cloth, you can leave a few people here to watch. ”

After Zhang Mengjie finished speaking, without waiting for the officers and soldiers to react, she took a step forward before they walked in the direction they had just come, and Qingfeng and Lu Deshun immediately followed.

"Wait, I'll go with you, so I can testify." Xu Dongjia thought that he couldn't help much here, so it was better to follow them to Jingzhao Mansion and maybe he could say something.

"I'll go too." Luo Dongjia also followed.

The young man who sold pastries, Zhou Li, also followed silently.

Pei Yuanfu instructed Pei Shijie a few words and followed.

Zhang Mengjie walked for a while before the leading officers and soldiers reacted, and casually ordered a few people to follow Ma Fuan, and they hurriedly followed.

In this way, the pedestrians on the road looked like officers and soldiers escorting Zhang Mengjie and his party to Jingzhao Mansion, rather than going to Jingzhao Mansion for trial.

When the group walked away, without the officers and soldiers who stayed behind, Mrs. Pei quietly said to Ma Fuan: "Did the shopkeeper bring a message to the Zhao Mansion and let Steward Lin come forward?"

Ma Fuan said without hesitation: "No, how can a housekeeper of a mansion compete with a four-grade Jingzhao Mansion Yin?" Besides, they took Mrs. to Jingzhao Mansion, and it wouldn't be Mrs. who was unlucky. ”

Zhang Mengjie and the three of them didn't know where Jingzhao Mansion was, but fortunately, the four people behind knew that when the seven people walked to the door of Jingzhao Mansion, Zhang Mengjie asked Lu Deshun to hit the drum at the door.

The Yin of Jingzhao Mansion inside had not yet come out of the backyard, but someone saw Zhang Mengjie and his party in an inconspicuous place at the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Isn't that the person who was by Luo'er's side just now?" A well-dressed middle-aged woman who looked to be less than forty years old was surprised when she saw the officers and soldiers.

"Ping'er, is there anything special about Lei Luo today?"

"Nope!" The middle-aged woman who was called Ping'er thought for a while and said, "But just now I saw what Luo Er said to the eldest son of the 'Pei Ji Buzhuang' eldest lord, and Luo Er also followed the eldest son of the Pei family."

"Ping'er, if you can trust your uncle, now hurry up and find someone who can speak in front of you or in front of Ronghua, go to Jingzhao Mansion and tell Ronghua that don't offend the two women and one man who just entered."

"Isn't it that my uncle recognizes them?" The middle-aged woman's attention just now was all on those officers and soldiers, and she didn't notice Zhang Mengjie and the others at all. But she knew very well that her uncle, who had always taken good care of her, would not harm her.

"You just need to let people tell Ronghua that the people I said are the people he can't afford to offend, and if you offend your official position, it will not be light, and it may even endanger your life."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she became anxious: "Then Uncle Ping'er won't talk to you more, and when Uncle is free in the future, Ping'er will go to Shangshu Mansion to see Uncle."

"Ronghua's future and life are important, you hurry up and go to your place!" The person who reminded the middle-aged woman turned around and left first, and when the person turned around, he saw clearly that his appearance was not who Hu Dezi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was.

As soon as Hu Dezi left, the middle-aged woman immediately entered the inner courtyard of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, found someone to whisper in his ear, and the person immediately went to the lobby.

In the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, after listening to the words of Pei Shaowei and the leading officers and soldiers, Fan Ronghua slapped and said, "What do you have to say, the defendant little woman in the hall?"

Jingzhao Mansion Yin's astonishment made Xu Dongjia, Luo Dongjia, Pei Yuanfu, Pei Shaowei, and Zhou Li, who had never entered the yamen, startled, and they didn't know what Fan Ronghua said just now.

But Zhang Mengjie was not shocked and said: "I just want to ask Pei Shaodong's family one question." (To be continued.) )
