In the gloomy prison, the screams of prisoners struggling and screaming were constantly heard.

The prison door slammed open, and a dull sound was heard.

"How did a few noble adults come to the prison in person?"

The gatekeeper hurriedly walked outside the cell, nodded and invited a few people to enter.

"I didn't personally greet the adults, so that the people below could clean up this dirty place!"

The prison messenger led the way in front of him, and at the same time flattered and made amends, these nobles in front of him were cabinet members, and they were worried about the important affairs of the court and politics for the saint, and they could take their lives with a casual move of their fingers.

Although the prison is under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, who is Yan Shoufu, who is the most trusted person around the saint, except for Lord Yan in the court, only the Yu clan can say a few words in front of the saint.

There were prisoners detained here on all sides, and among the few people who were with them were officials of the Criminal Department wearing green robes, who listened to the flattery of the prison messenger and responded coldly.

"Don't bother much, Lord Rong and I will ask the prisoner a few words and leave, you will follow by the side, if there is an instruction to do it."

When the prison messenger heard this, he knew that he was quick to talk and said too many things that he shouldn't have said, so he immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking nonsense.

Hurriedly led a few people to the interrogation outer prison, where several guards were standing guard to guard the prisoners, and when they saw this, they hurriedly moved to the benches.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what the adults say! Adults, please be seated! I'm going to let someone bring Xiao Yu up! ”

The prisoners in the prison were all separated and detained to prevent fighting with each other and to facilitate supervision, and the son of the Xiao family was escorted here by the Fu Yin for robbing the people's daughters in Kyoto and ruining the reputation of the official women.

"The person has been brought, please interrogate!"

In the cold and dark cell, the jailer quickly brought people up.

With the sound of chains clashing, a man dressed in dirty and torn prisoner clothes, dirty hair scattered over his shoulders, and his hands and feet were handcuffed by chains.

"Your Excellency has something to ask you! Don't look up yet! At this time, the jailer impatiently grabbed Xiao Gongzi's hair and coldly ordered him to look up and reply.

The prison is not as good as the outside, and when you enter here, you won't talk about the difference between the noble and the low, Xiao Dagongzi is used to brocade clothes and jade food, and he just came to the prison and made a great prestige, and in the end, he didn't obediently destroy his temperament!

The jailer grabbed his hands and pushed him hard.

Xiao Dagongzi stumbled and almost fell, and when he raised his head in a daze, he saw several brightly dressed people standing in the prison.

The man at the head had a light face, so he pounced like a life-saving straw!

"I've seen you! Please let me get out of here! ”

"Lord Rong, how can you be a prisoner! Let go of Lord Rong! ”

The jailer was frightened and ordered someone to come forward to help.

"It's okay, since Xiao Gongzi has something to say, there is no need to stop it."

Who knew that the Lord of the Criminal Department next to him waved his hand, and saw Lord Rong take a few steps closer with his leg raised, and stood in front of Xiao Gongzi with his hands in his hand.

Then look at him at eye level and talk to him calmly.

"My Xiao family has a lot of money, as long as you can let me out! I can say yes to any request! ”

It was Lord Rong's condescending negotiation with the prisoner that led to such a reluctance, and the people present couldn't help but be surprised and admired.

"Xiao Gongzi is self-aware, since this is the case, there is no need to say more, just take the people away, I will explain to Fu Yin!"

These few words made Xiao Gongzi want to kowtow and thank him if he was released, and he had long forgotten the identity of the person who came.

Not to mention how powerful the cabinet was, with the presence of the boss of the criminal department, the prison messenger also had to do something, and the descendants were taken away after loosening the tie.

In the streets where the night fell, there were bursts of panic and shouts.

"Come on! Walk the water! Beiyuzhai is gone! ”

When the neighbors heard the sound, they surrounded the road outside the Wei family's embroidery shop, and the embroidery girls in the shop fled with disgraced faces, all of them frightened.

The embroidery shop guy ran out of the fire on his hind feet and came to the shopkeeper Xu in the crowd, his face anxious for instructions.

"If this fire continues to grow, I'm afraid that the embroidery shop will turn to ashes! Shopkeeper, hurry up and get an idea! ”

"Let the embroidery girl in the embroidery shop not panic! Everyone goes to the firewood room to fetch water and quickly extinguish the fire! ”

Seeing the fierce fire, Shopkeeper Xu no longer hesitated, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to act: "A few of you go to Gu Mansion and ask Mrs. to come to the embroidery shop!" ”

The people who went to Gu's house came back very quickly, only to see the lady coming in civilian clothes, the fire in the embroidery shop was gradually extinguished, and the shopkeeper Xu hurriedly wiped the ashes of the black charcoal on his face, and looked very self-reproachful and stepped forward to explain.

"Madame is here, the little one is really doing her best! The fire was stopped, but most of the embroidery in the shop was lost, and I hope that Mrs. will punish me for negligence! ”

"Shopkeeper Xu doesn't have to blame himself, now that the fire has burned, it's useless to regret it, the only thing you can do now is to find out who set the fire!"

"Immediately block the embroidery shop, all the embroidery girls come here to gather, see if anyone is not present at this time!"

"The slave has something to say!" Aunt Lan walked out of the embroidery girls at this time, and said with a solemn face, "When the fire was big, the slave maid and the sisters put out the fire together, and saw the embroidery girl Xin'er's sneaky behavior!" Madame might as well send someone to catch up! ”

"It turns out that Xin'er is a spy in our embroidery shop! In the past, I had seen her have a private relationship with the lady of the Xiao Mansion, and I thought it was very strange! ”

As soon as this remark came out, many embroidery girls whispered and discussed, and the shopkeeper Xu frowned, annoyed that he had not noticed the clue on weekdays, so that Mrs. Xiao took advantage of the loophole effortlessly, and it made a big mistake!

Just as he was about to let people quickly catch up with Xin'er, Mrs. immediately broke off and spoke.

"Immediately send someone to intercept Xin'er, and the matter will be entrusted to the shopkeeper Xu!"

Shopkeeper Xu nodded solemnly, turned around and led people away: "The villain understands!" Madame rest assured! This time will not disappoint Madame! ”

"Oh no, ma'am! Big things are wrong! At that moment, a long shout was heard from the other side of the street.

I saw that it was the tea house guy who came quickly, and he didn't have time to take a breath, Yuyan saw that Mrs. was in a hurry for the embroidery shop, and this little guy was in a hurry, as if something big had happened again!

"What's the matter? What's the hurry? Something to talk to Mrs. slowly! ”

Mrs. Xiao did not hesitate to take the risk and set the embroidery shop on fire, what could be more infuriating than this?

After receiving Madame's instructions, the man continued to report the situation: "Madame doesn't know that the boat carrying tea from the canal to the tea estate has capsized!" ”

"At this moment, the boat sank to the bottom of the canal, and the precious tea leaves on the ship were soaked and destroyed, and our tea house has lost a lot of money!"

As soon as these words came out, the people present were shocked, the fire was already shocking, the embroidery shop business had just improved, the embroidery girls finally got rid of the exploitation of the Gu family, counting on the lady to make a good living for them, who knew that there was a change!

Wei Ning's heart sank, and he asked, "Has the ship been salvaged?" ”

The guy hurriedly replied: "Back to Mrs., because the boat is too big and too heavy, and the water in the canal is too deep, I found someone to dive into the water to salvage, but I haven't fished ashore for a while!" ”

Weijia tea shop has been in business for many years, although the business is not big, but there has never been a big mess, the tea goods have always been by water, the guy is waiting for the tea in the tea house at night, anxiously waiting for bad news!

It's just that now in addition to the soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, what else can be done?

Wei Ning quickly ordered: "You lead the way and take me to have a look." ”

The shopkeeper Xu took someone to chase the embroidery girl Xin'er, and the rest of the embroidery girls who escaped from the fire needed to be appeased if they were frightened.

Then he ordered Ziling to accompany him, and took his guys to the tea house quickly!

At this time, the bridge head on the moat was crowded, and the riverbank was full of noisy and talkative voices.

"Look, everybody! There's a cast-iron weapon in that scoop up! The Holy One forbade the people to forge weapons without permission! There are so many forbidden things hidden under the ship of the Wei family transporting tea......"
