"Ma Sizhi!" The messenger brought the scroll of paper to Ma Sizhi.

Qin Xiangxiang looked at Ma Sizhi. Ma Sizhi glanced at her very indifferently and unfolded the paper roll.

Today's Ma Sizhi is different from the Ma Sizhi of the past. It is even more different from Ma Sizhi, who came with a fortune gourd that night. But Qin Xiangxiang remembered that on the way to the waterwheel alley with all her belongings, Ma Sizhi told her in person that there was no head tax in the watermill alley.

Qin thought about it and said slowly: "This lucky gourd, but it's still the opening gift that Ma Si gave to the restaurant." ”

Ma Sizhi finally smiled: "Although it was sent by the official, the official can't show favoritism." Mrs. Qin, can you tell me what is going on with these paper scrolls? ”

"I don't know anything about what is written on the scroll, I don't know if Ma Sizhi can read it out, let me listen to it?"

Little Lady Fan watched blankly from the side. She thought it was poison, but it was a few notes.

There were three paper rolls, and Ma Si spread out one and read it to Qin Xiangxiang: "Today's salt introduction costs thirty times, but it is really exploiting the people." "Read one again," the salt guide costs a hundred times today. Too much deception. ”

Read one more: "Thirty cents for bridge tax." ”

It's all about taxes and fees.

Ma Sizhi put away the paper roll, looked at Qin and thought: "The Salt Relief Division has stripped the Qin lady of one hundred and thirty times, and the Qin lady is dissatisfied because of this, and she has a grudge against the Salt Solution. And because Little Lady Fan happened to invite you to Fan's house to cook, she had a plan......"

Qin Xiangxiang raised his hand: "Yesterday, I was going to the Salt Solution Division to pick up salt, but the Salt Solution Division has no salt, and I just came back, and I met Fan Xiaoniang outside the waterwheel alley." Mrs. Fan invited me to her house to cook, and I decided to go temporarily, where did I come from? ”

Ma Sizhi's gaze stayed on Qin Xiangxiang's face: "It was the Fan family that Little Lady Fan reported to her family, and Lady Qin decided to go." ”

Qin Xiangxiang did not deny it: "This is true. ”

Ma Sizhi smiled slightly: "In this case, then please ask Mrs. Qin to go with us first, and later we will ask the Dali Temple to inquire about the salt department, if you can see Mrs. Qin to pick up salt yesterday." ”

He spoke softly. But it seems to carry a chill.

Qin thought about it for a while: "Okay." But can I tell my family a thing or two? ”

"Please." Ma Sizhi said.

Qin thought about it and explained to Red Sleeves: "The business of the restaurant is going on as usual, take care of them." Don't run for me. "Especially that Huang Gongshi, maybe he will use this to blackmail Red Sleeves. She didn't want Red Sleeves to marry that scum because of her.

Red sleeves red-eyed: "Big lady!" ”

Qin Xiangxiang smiled, and the small wine swirled: "I'm not afraid of shadows, I'll be fine." ”

Qin Xiangxiang was taken away, leaving Fan Xiaoniang wearing linen and filial piety behind.

Tian Xiang snorted: "The children of corrupt officials and corrupt officials are just as annoying!" ”

When Mrs. Fan heard this, she puffed out her cheeks again and said loudly: "If she is innocent, I will defend her." Dali Temple has always been fair, and will not wronged a good person, nor will it let go of a bad person! Also, my father is not a corrupt official, and every penny of my family is innocent! ”

She said loudly, but the people in the restaurant looked at her coldly, like a bad person.

Fan Xiaoniang ran away.

It rained in the sky again, and a cold wind blew, and Qin Xiangxiang's nose was uncomfortable, and he coughed again.

Ma Si was directly considerate: "Qin Niangzi's wind chill is not good?" ”

Qin Xiangxiang covered his mouth, and coughed for a while before stabilizing his breath: "There is Lao Masi who cares directly." ”

Ma Sizhi thought she was going to say something, but Qin thought about it but didn't say it.

Because the case has not yet been confirmed, Qin Xiangxiang is still a suspect, so he didn't put on the shackles, Rao is like this, she braved the wind and rain to walk for a while, and still coughed violently.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Ma Si looked around and motioned for the officials to go to a shop porch to take shelter from the rain.

The owner of the shop saw so many officials, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out: "Official, the little one didn't do anything, right?" ”

Ma Sizhi glanced at the store indifferently and did not make a sound. Da Xu, who had been following him, twisted his eyebrows and said to the shopkeeper: "It's just to borrow your porch to shelter from the rain." ”

The store was relieved to enter.

Qin Xiangxiang finally stopped coughing, stabilized his breath, and shrank in the corner silently.

Ma Sizhi had no intention of talking to her, so a group of people quietly hid under the eaves to avoid the rain.

The rain was so heavy that passers-by on the streets looked for a place to take shelter from the rain. Qin Xiangxiang looked at the raindrops like falling beads, and his face turned pale.

Suddenly, a carriage came from the entrance of the alley, and the horse's hooves splashed on the stagnant water, and after a while, it passed in front of Qin Xiangxiang and the others. The person in the car lifted the curtain, like a ghost, Qin Xiangxiang looked at the person and met Mu Ting's eyes.

What a coincidence...... Qin Xiangxiang smiled at Mu Ting.

Mu Ting indifferently lowered the curtain, and the carriage galloped past.

It seems that Mu Jiajun, who entered Beijing, picked up Mu Ting, and Mu Ting was able to swagger in the carriage and swagger through the market. Thinking of that glance just now, the clothes Mu Ting was wearing seemed to have changed, and his hair was neatly combed, not as embarrassed as before.

In fact, speaking of which, Wudehou Murray has made great achievements, and Mu Ting has the qualifications to swagger. Qin thought to himself.

The rain comes and stops fast. However, after half a pillar of incense, Qin thought about it and went to the prison of Dali Temple, and he still lived opposite Qin Wanwan.

This Dali Temple is quite good, one person and one prison, which is extraordinarily spacious.

Qin Wanwan was lying on her side facing inward, not paying attention to who was locked in.

Qin Xiangxiang hadn't spoken yet, and was admiring Qin Wanwan's sleeping posture, when the female jailer said fiercely: "Don't talk!" ”

She didn't want to talk, but she didn't understand and asked: "Dare to ask the female official, when will she be arraigned?" ”

Qin Wanwan's body moved, and she sat up slowly, and after seeing Qin Xiangxiang, her face was full of doubts.

I haven't seen her for the past two days, Qin Wanwan has lost some weight, but her face is still good.

The female jailer said, "Then I don't know, so you can stay alive." The female jailer put down the sentence and turned to the chair outside and sat down.

Qin didn't think about it in a hurry, slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and smiled at Qin Wanwan.

Qin Wanwan opened her big eyes and looked at Qin Xiangxiang.

Qin Xiangxiang said to her silently, "It's okay. ”

A flattering voice from a female jailer came from outside: "Liao Pingshi, you are here." ”

Yes, Liao Haohai is here again. Qin Xiangxiang's heart moved, how much did Liao Haohai spend to see her this time?

Liao Haohai said: "The new suspect Qin has not yet been confirmed, why is he locked up here?" Absurd! Get her out of here! ”

Liao Haohai didn't come in at all.

The female jailer hurriedly came in, unlocked the lock, and said to Qin Xiang: "The little lady comes out with me." ”

Qin wanted to go out, only to see Liao Haohai and Ma Sizhi standing aside. Liao Haohai's expression was dumbfounded, while Ma Sizhi still looked indifferent. Qin Xiangxiang was a little dazed, what the hell was going on?

Liao Haohai then said: "Mrs. Qin, when you get to the court, don't be afraid, just explain what you have done one by one." If you are innocent, we will do you justice. ”

Ma Sizhi didn't speak. It was as if he had thought about it with Qin before, but he didn't know each other at all.

In the court, Qin Xiangxiang saw Huang Shi's second official business.

The wound on Huang Gongshi's face has begun to scar, and it is becoming more and more hideous and ugly. There was a bruise on his forehead, as if it had been added to it.

Huang Gongshi couldn't wait to say: "This Qin family, yesterday I learned that there was no salt in the Salt Relief Division, so he opened his mouth to scold the lower officials, and the scolding was unbearable. And she was also arrogant and unreasonable to break into the Salt Relief Division and ask Fan Yanguan for an explanation. Xia Guan Haosheng stopped her, and she also beat and scolded Xia Guan. ”

Huang Gongshi said, pointing to the bruise on his forehead and said, "Xiaguan's injury here was caused by this evil woman Qin's family." ”

Tsk, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add.
