244: Outwitted
When the official went to bring Han Xiao to the Yamen, the Zhongyi Marquis and his wife finally got the news and rushed back to the Hou Mansion, ten years of peace of mind, so that the two had already forgotten what they had done back then, and now when they suddenly heard Han Shuxian sue them and took Fang Mei away, the two of them were also taken aback in a panic.
Wu was directly frightened, looked at Han Mingde nervously and asked, "Master, what can I do about this?"
Han Mingde is also a person who has no opinions and no responsibility, otherwise he would not have used his mind to snatch the position of the marquis, he was also worried and didn't know what to do, and said impatiently, "How do I know what to do?"
"You've got a way to do it! Otherwise, based on their current relationship with the surname Fang, they will definitely think of pulling you down from the position of Hou Ye."
Han Mingde was already worried, and after hearing his wife Wu's words, he was even more anxious, "I think! I think! I can think of a way to come out." After yelling impatiently, he began to shirk, "It's not your fault, if the other party's aunt had been better before, and she usually had less trouble with her, she wouldn't have betrayed us!"
Wu heard Han Mingde get angry, and her anger also went up, "You're blaming me now? Who protected her back then and didn't let me drink for her?"
"I'm not looking at her serving you wholeheartedly, I'm afraid that you won't be suitable for another person."
Wu sneered, "Serve me, or serve you?"
Just when the two were arguing, the next person came to pay tribute, saying that the Dali Temple officials came to invite, the old marquis was in the yamen, and the two couldn't shirk it, so they had to follow the officials of the Hou Mansion to the Yamen, and several people walked out of the Hou Mansion not far away, and two of them turned back and took Han Xiao.
There are four people who came to the Hou Mansion this time, all of them were arranged in advance, and a few more people came, one was to prepare for Han Mingde If he came back, two of them could accompany Han Mingde and his wife to Dali Temple first, and one of the remaining people took Han Xiao, and after Han Xiao left, the last person went to find the bracelet that Fang Mei said. ap..
After Han Mingde and his wife entered the yamen of Dali Temple, Han Mingde walked in front of Fang Mei in a few steps, and kicked Fang Mei to the ground when he raised his foot, "***!"
Seeing Han Mingde's reckless and unreasonable appearance, Fang Jing already felt that he was incompetent, but now he felt even more ignorant, "Zhongyi Hou, she is now a witness to this official, please be merciful at the feet of Zhongyi Hou." After finishing half-sarcastically, he looked at the official standing on the side, "See if anyone is hurt?"
The official stepped forward and pulled Fang Mei up, who had been kicked down, "Is it hurt?"
Fang Mei shook her head, and the official said, "That's good!"
Then Fang Jing got down to business, "Lord Han, Han Shuxian, the third son of the former Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, sued you for instigating the maid to seduce his little servant in order to seize the position of the marquis, and with the instigation of the maid and his subordinates, he robbed the people's land and property to slander Han Shuxian, who was serving in the Guozi Prison, causing him to be dismissed from office and expelled from the family tree, what do you have to say?"
Han Mingde's dead duck was stiff-mouthed, "Lord Fang, this is really a big joke, don't say that the inheritance of the Hou Throne is the inheritance of the eldest son, I don't need to compete with him at all, besides, both of our brothers are in the court, and only by supporting each other can the family develop better, I have no reason to frame the third brother at all."
"So please don't believe what this *** said, she's just talking nonsense."
Fang Jing looked at Fang Mei and shouted, "Fang Mei!"
"The slave is here!"
"Do you have any proof that what you say is true?"
"Slaves and maids." At this time, Fang Mei was no longer nervous and afraid, she no longer stammered even when she spoke, and her body no longer trembled.
"When the slave maid promised his wife to seduce the third master's maid, he gave the slave maid a golden hairpin, and said that this golden hairpin was the gift for the Hou Ye to carry the slave and maid as the eighth aunt."
When Fang Mei finished saying the golden hairpin, Fang Jing waved his hand to the officials on the side, and then the officials sent a box in front of Fang Mei, and the box contained the golden hairpin she was talking about.
After the box was delivered to Fang Mei, Fang Jing asked again, "Look at this one?"
"Yes, that's it." Fang Mei replied affirmatively, she wasn't curious about how they got their hands on these things.
Seeing this, Wu hurriedly denied it, "I didn't give it to her, she stole it!" She is my maid, and she usually helps her clean up my jewelry, who knows
When she saw that the hairpin was good-looking, she became disgusted."
Fang Mei argued, "I didn't steal it, she gave it to me, if I stole it, I wouldn't dare to bring it on my head, when the Hou Ye raised me as an aunt, I also wore this hairpin, and the people in the house have also seen it, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask."
Fang Jing said: "This official will verify it, and he will definitely not wronged Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou." After speaking, he commanded the official on the side again, "Come on, bring Han Xiao."
Han Xiao had already been waited by the servants, and after Fang Jing finished giving his orders, the servants walked in with Han Xiao, "Fang Mei, look at this person, can you recognize him?"
"I recognize, she is Han Xiao, the same field he took people to buy with me, and he also robbed the bracelet."
As soon as Han Xiao heard that Fang Mei had told him about stealing people's things, he was flustered and scared, and he wanted to deny it when he opened his mouth, but seeing that the old Hou Ye, Hou Ye, and Mrs. Hou were all there, he didn't know what the situation was now, so he just knelt on the ground and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Han Xiao, raise your head!"
Han Xiao raised his head slightly, and then the official put the box containing the golden hairpin in front of Han Xiao, and Fang Jing asked again, "Do you know whose golden hairpin this is?"
Han Xiao is also a smart person, knowing that this was given to Fang Mei by the Wu family, but she opened her eyes and said nonsense, "The villain usually doesn't pay attention to this, and I don't know whose it is."
"And who did you give the bracelet you to?"
Fang Jing's words made Han Xiao break out in a cold sweat, and he said in a slurred voice, "The villain didn't snatch any bracelets!"
refused to admit Han Xiao, Fang Jing had already made arrangements, and then asked the official to bring the robbed people to the yamen.
The visitor recognized at a glance this man he hated to the core, "It is him, it is he who led people to seize our family's land and my family's bracelet."
Shocked, Han Xiao immediately shook his body, "Adult, the villain is wronged!"
Fang Mei spoke again at this time, "My lord, I have seen his wife wear it."
At this time, another official came over, "My lord, this is the bracelet that I found from Han Xiao's wife."
"This is my family's ancestral bracelet." The peasant shouted when he saw the bracelet.
"Are you sure this is your bracelet?"
"Sure, if the little one talks nonsense, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." ap..
"Han Xiao, what else do you have to say?"
Han Mingde wanted to shake off the pot at this time, pointed at Han Xiao and said, "Han Xiao, I usually treat you well, why do you want to trap me in injustice like this, if you have any difficulties, tell me, for the sake of your family, I will definitely help you too, why don't you use the reputation of the third brother to bully the people!"
