"Mrs. Joe, Miss Joe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Zhao Mingchen walked over with a smile.

"Misunderstanding?" Qiao Xiya picked the corners of her mouth, her eyes wandered between Zhao Mingchen and Bi Tao, "Is it a misunderstanding, or is Lord Zhao the same as Bi Tao, thinking that the jade lion is in my Qiao family?" ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Bi Tao straightened her knees, "She must have hidden something on her body......"

"Smack!" A crisp sound interrupted Bi Tao's words, and Bi Tao only felt a hot pain in her cheeks.

"Shameless!" Chunling glared at Bi Tao, "Madam and the girl have always treated you kindly, and I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I transferred you to Zheng Xiaoniang's side as a first-class maid, and now you repay them like this?" ”

"You killed so many servants and I didn't see it?" Bi Tao's eyes were full of fear.

"The servant who signed the death contract wants to kill or beat it all depends on the master's words, not to mention the servant with unclean hands and feet, stealing the master's house, even if it is sent to the government, it is also handed over to the master's family to send it by himself, you are so afraid, it is the same as them, and you can't steal things!" Chunling's words made Bi Tao's face change.

"My lord, the slave has no ......"

"That's not right...... Chunling's face changed instantly, and her eyes became fierce, "You were also betrayed by the girl yesterday, why are you here!" ”

"Sold?" Zhao Mingchen was stunned for a moment, if it had been sold yesterday, then the nature of Bi Tao's accusation against Qiao Xiya for secretly possessing the jade lion would be different.

"Lord Zhao doesn't know, yesterday our girl had already dismissed all the subordinates, and even the subordinates who signed the death deed, the girl was also dismissed." Chunling sneered, "This Bi Tao was sold to the old bustard of Chun Man Lou," Chun Ling looked at Bi Tao with disgust in his eyes, and suddenly burst into a loud shout, "Bi Tao, you won't escape from Chun Man Lou, right?!" ”

The thunderous reprimand made Bi Tao tremble, and looked at Zhao Mingchen with teary eyes: "My lord, the slave has no ......"

Zhao Mingchen frowned: "Go to the two legs and feet fast, call the old bustard of Chunmanlou to question!" As the words fell, the two officials left quickly and rushed towards the Spring Building.

Zhao Mingchen is difficult, if Bi Tao is a servant of the Qiao family, if he finds the jade lion, no matter how he got it, he can find a way to cure Qiao Xiya and Qiao Mi's crimes, if he doesn't find it, he can also reluctantly deduct a crime of mistreating his subordinates, but if Bi Tao has been sold, then she belongs to the former master's family, and she will be punished.

"Oops! You're really here, little hoof! Just when Zhao Mingchen was stunned, a long and delicate voice crashed in from outside the door, interrupting Zhao Mingchen's silence.

Zhao Mingchen looked up at the door, and saw Hu Qiaomei, the old bustard in Chunmanlou, throwing a handkerchief and coming straight to Bitao, and the smell of cheap rouge gouache poured Zhao Mingchen's nose.

"Hu Qiaomei, a slave, visited the official master." When Hu Qiaomei saw Zhao Mingchen looking at her, she couldn't help but stop and blessed Zhao Mingchen.

"This person is from your Chun Manlou?" Zhao Mingchen straightened his face and glanced at Bi Tao, who was sitting on the ground and sobbing for a ride.

"Not really! I bought it from here yesterday. Before the deed of sale was hot, the man was gone. If you hadn't sent someone to inform the slave family, the slave family wouldn't know where to find this little prodigal hoof! Hu Qiaomei said, took out the deed of sale from her arms, and handed it to Zhao Mingchen.

"Bold Peach! You are guilty! Zhao Mingchen saw Bi Tao's name written in black and white on the body deed, and suddenly felt like a fool who was being played, and couldn't help but get angry.

"Slave...... The slave maid ......" Bi Tao was already so frightened that she couldn't speak. She never thought that her deed would be taken out of Hu Qiaomei's hands.

"According to the decree of this dynasty, it is a great rebellion to sue the master as a slave. Except for those who conspire against it, they are unforgivable! Zhao Mingchen couldn't wait to kill Bi Tao every minute.

"My lord, my lord......" Bi Tao pulled the corner of Zhao Mingchen's clothes and begged bitterly, "Ask your lord to be merciful, the slave is confused for a while...... Bi Tao knows that if she still insists that Qiao Xiya has a jade lion at the moment, then there is really only one way to die, and her strong desire to survive makes her have to admit that she is a ghost.

"Confused?" Zhao Mingchen sneered, "You swore last night, it didn't look like you were confused for a while!" Come! Immediately pull out this ungrateful who chews the root of her tongue and repays virtue with resentment and kills her with a rod! Zhao Mingchen's voice fell, and two officials came out on the side, one left and one right, and dragged Bi Tao to the door.

"Your Excellency...... My lord! Girl, girl! Ask the girl to save me......" Bi Tao's eyes gradually changed from fear to despair, and her voice gradually became miserable, but no matter how she struggled, she was finally dragged out of the gate of Qiao's mansion. Only an embroidered shoe dropped from the ground can prove that Bi Tao once appeared here.

"Mother Hu," Zhao Mingchen glanced at Hu Qiaomei, "It seems that you can only go and buy a new girl." ”

"Your Excellency!" Hu Qiaomei said with a smile, "Even if the adults don't drop that little hoof, this kind of little hoof that doesn't know what to do and chews the root of the tongue, the slave family doesn't dare to ask for it." ”

"Mother Hu," Chunling glanced at Qiao Xiya and stepped forward, "This is the silver that Mother Hu bought for that cheap maid, and Mother Hu put it away." Chunling stuffed a silver coin into Hu Qiaomei's hand.

"Oops, that's embarrassing." Hu Qiaomei was a little embarrassed with the silver, she looked at Zhao Mingchen, and then at Qiao Xiya, and saw that the two of them did not have any displeasure, so she put the silver in her arms, "The slave family accepted it with a cheeky face, thank you Miss Qiao for your understanding." ”

Qiao Xiya waved her hand at Hu Qiaomei, and saluted Zhao Mingchen slightly: "Lord Zhao, have you found out everything?" Is my Qiao family innocent? ”

"Innocent, innocent." Zhao Mingchen said with a smile, "I'll let them clean up the house." ”

"No need." Qiao Xiya rejected Zhao Mingchen with a smile, "Lord Zhao is the prefect of the fourth grade, how can I let people clean up the house for me, the official eunuch of the sixth grade, this is not good, but it is arrogant." ”

As soon as the two words came out, Zhao Mingchen's body trembled obviously. He sneered and said, "Miss Qiao is outside, since Miss Qiao minds so much, then Zhao will leave." Qiao Xiya's smile made Zhao Mingchen's back feel cold, and he couldn't wait to disappear immediately.

"Master Zhao walks slowly." A sneer crept up the corner of Qiao Xiya's mouth.

It wasn't until Zhao Mingchen, Hu Qiaomei and the others completely left out of sight that Qiao Xiya felt relieved, and couldn't help leaning on Chunling. Chunling hurriedly helped: "Girl, let's go back to the house."

Qiao Xiya nodded, and forced her body back to the house with Chunling's support.
