Chapter Seventy-Eight
"You say he was wronged? I can believe that at best it is because you are pretty, and the beautiful girl naturally speaks by herself, but I believe that it is useless, I have to make others believe it. ”
Bai Yujing looked at the girl's face, looked at her straight jade legs again, and retracted her eyes.
Liu Rongrong had understood that this might be the only chance she could see her father, and the only chance to save his father from prison, and immediately said, "I have evidence!" ”
Bai Yujing hurriedly reassured her, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, sit down and tell me, what does your father do?" What went wrong? ”
Bai Yujing didn't touch her body, let alone take advantage of the fire to take the opportunity to rub oil, just waved his hand and leaned against the side of the bed.
Liu Rongrong's mind was already in a mess, so she rushed to Bai Yujing's side, and said anxiously: "My family is in the shipping business, there are a total of seventeen merchant ships, more than 300 sailors, and the business is all over Jiangnan Province, but because they don't pay silver to Shuilongzhai, they ...... They framed me, and now they have hidden the smuggled salt on my father's ship, saying that my father is ...... and a member of the household surnamed Feng is reselling illicit salt together......"
Bai Yujing has already understood, this matter is also the idea of Shuilongzhai to frame others, and the girls have already understood, what else do they not understand? However, he didn't rush to break it, and continued to listen.
"On that day, my father came on the ship, took a batch of silk and grain from Fuyang, sent it back to Lin'an, and saw some merchants who had traveled far away, so he invited them to board the ship...... My father was a hospitable man, so he thought that he would not take any money from them, and the ship was big anyway...... But who knows, these businessmen jumped off ship in the middle of the night and left, and they also put down the three bags of private salt on the ship! ”
This is indeed a means that works for the charlatans.
Bai Yujing asked puzzledly, "In that case, what does it have to do with that foreign lang?" ”
Liu Rongrong said: "This batch of goods was sent by the wailang to my father, my father and the wailang actually have no personal relationship, and the two of them are only the relationship between customers and businessmen, and every penny is clear...... But they just said my dad...... Colluded with him, I ...... I ......"
Bai Yujing yawned.
This matter is as simple as death, as long as you talk to Zhuohua, and then go to the yamen of Lin'an Mansion to do a little bit, won't it be over?
"Hey, it's not easy, girl, you take it too easy."
Bai Yujing sighed and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, just the crime of selling illicit salt is enough for your family to be beheaded." ”
Hearing this, Liu Rongrong's eyes were already filled with tears, her white teeth bit her lip, she had no way out, she planned that if her father died tragically, she would take her own means of learning art to go to Shuilongzhai to fight with them, and now she sees Bai Yujing, this is her hope, but now she ...... It turned into despair again.
But she still didn't give up, "My father didn't sell illicit salt, he was framed!" ”
Bai Yujing said: "Yes, but you listen to me, it is a fact that there is private salt on the ship, and it is also a fact that it has been found, and the facts have been placed in front of you, how easy is it to overturn it?" Do you have proof that your father is not guilty? ”
Liu Rongrong immediately said: "Yes! I know one of the three businessmen, who is the shopkeeper of the pawnshop at the Nanxi Fourth Street stall, surnamed Lu, I know him, as long as I call him to confront him, I will definitely be able to find clues. ”
Bai Yujing sighed and said, "Since it was a frame-up, how could they not think of solving this person?" Even if it hadn't been resolved, he had already given a large sum of silver to seal his mouth, could it be that I would have beaten him with my bare hands? ”
Liu Rongrong lowered her head, "My lord...... I...... I beg you...... As long as you can rescue my father, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life......"
As soon as Bai Yujing heard this, his mouth softened, "Don't be in such a hurry, things have taken a turn for the better." ”
Liu Rongrong's eyes widened, and she said in astonishment: "Really? ”
Bai Yujing said: "In this way, don't worry about it first, I have a few friends who are from the government, I will first inquire whether this matter is serious or not, you wait for me to go tomorrow." ”
Liu Rongrong immediately grabbed the corner of Bai Yujing's clothes, "My father has been arrested for ten days, and tomorrow will ...... It's about to be beheaded! ”
Bai Yujing immediately realized that something was wrong.
Chop so fast?
I am afraid that there is something hidden in this, and it seems that things are not as simple as they seem.
He stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll go out first, my friends don't like to go to bed early, and they probably haven't fallen asleep before the hour comes." ”
Liu Rongrong didn't know what to do, so she could only hope for the adult in front of her, and immediately said, "Okay...... Good ......"
Bai Yujing pushed open the door and walked out.
He casually grabbed a turtle boy who was passing by with foot-washing water, "Hey, ask about something." ”
Gui Gong has been here for so many years, of course he is not stupid, and the people who can live on the fourth floor of the Yanyu Fengyun Building, who can stomp their feet, are all characters who can set off storms, and immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, you ask." ”
Bai Yujing said: "Is there a room in this building?" ”
When Gui Gong heard this, his back seemed to be hit by a hammer, his whole body trembled, and he said vigilantly: "This master, you see that the little one is here to ask for a life, and your problem is to ask for a small life, let me tell you, the water dragon village must find a small account...... Why don't you give me two slaps first? It's a relief......"
Bai Yujing couldn't cry or laugh, "Call your housekeeper to come." ”
The turtle boy put aside the water for washing his feet and ran away as if fleeing for his life.
After a while, a woman with a graceful figure and an extraordinary temperament, a woman who twisted her body out of seven or eight sections walked up, the handkerchief in her hand fanned back and forth, and she was full of smiles.
She came to Bai Yujing and immediately made a boudoir salute, she was already a human spirit in the dust, showing her graceful posture all the time, intentionally or unintentionally exposing her most proud parts, "This master, are you looking for a small one?" ”
Bai Yujing said: "You are the old bustard here?" I'm looking for you about something. ”
The old bustard's nose wrinkled, and he sighed and said: "You know that my family is not easy to do business here, if you ask something, if you put my life into it...... What can I do? ”
Bai Yujing said: "It seems that the two of us can't be friends." ”
The old bustard said, "Yo...... How do you ...... Hey, that's it, if it weren't for your ...... For the sake of adults, if someone else is changed, it will kill me, and I dare not say it. ”
Bai Yujing smiled: "I will come to patronize more after that." ”
The old bustard was about to fall on Bai Yujing's body, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, this is what you said, if it makes me miss you, you won't come...... I'm going to look for you. ”
She raised her hand, twisted her waist, turned slightly, and pointed to the two rooms on the corner of the third floor of the lower floor, "I can't say that I said it." ”
Bai Yujing just smiled and went straight downstairs.
Standing outside the door of the corner room, he listened intently, the first room was quiet, and the second room was hot, so he knocked on the door.
The voice in the door was noisy, "Who?" ”
Bai Yujing said: "I'm looking for someone." ”
The commotion fell silent, and then another voice shouted, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Bai Yujing said: "Zhuohua." ”
There was no movement inside for an instant, just as Bai Yujing wanted to approach the door.
Hello!
A knife stabbed out.
Less than five inches, it could kill him!
