I only heard him continue to say unhurriedly: "When did you see how she entered the Purple Silk Pavilion?" Let's tell us the truth. ”

The man hurriedly said, "I'm not lying! I followed her all the way from Ishise Village, and when it was almost noon, I watched her stumble into the gate of the Purple Silk Pavilion, and your little servant stopped her and interrogated her for a long time before letting her in! If you don't believe me, you can ask your janitor. ”

Steward Qiu only smiled at him lovingly when he heard this, and said, "Since you swear so much, I think what you said is probably true. ”

Steward Qiu raised his head and said to Wu Qing: "The witness you found, I saw with your own eyes, it was not our Zi Ya Pavilion who kidnapped your daughter, but your daughter, why didn't she keep her filial piety at home, and actually escaped all the way from your village to Zi Ya Pavilion, what is going on, you may explain it to all of us?" “

Wu Qing's family was speechless all of a sudden, their eyes fluttered, and everyone began to point fingers at their group.

The Zhuo clan knew that he was at a loss, and now he no longer bothered with them, but only pestered nonsense: "No matter what happens to our family, it is our family's housework, and you Ziya Pavilion can't control it!" Hand over my daughter! ”

The first few tenants also stretched out their arms and legs and shouted, almost forcing Steward Qiu's face.

Steward Qiu unhurriedly took out the deed of sale given by Tao Yao, and said: "I don't know if this Wu Yan is the daughter of your family, but I have a deed of sale here, which is clearly written, Wu Yan is the domestic slave of our Miss Tao of the Purple Silk Pavilion, since she is a person with a master, she comes and goes, and her parents have no right to govern and interrogate, that is, she will sue the government, unless you redeem her body, otherwise, you can't take people away." ”

When Wu Qing heard this, he was very incredulous: "Impossible, what nonsense are you talking about?" How could my daughter sell herself! ”

The Zhuo family had already stepped forward to snatch the deed of sale in Steward Qiu's hand.

Steward Qiu handed over the deed of sale to the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to take it for them to look at carefully, and said leisurely: "The deed is here, and Wu Yan's handprint is also on it, if you don't believe it, you can get it to the government and let the master check it." ”

Wu Qing and Wu Yan's uncle Wang Zuochang both stepped forward and looked at the black and white letters on it, saying that Wu Yan sold herself to the Tao family as a slave for one hundred taels of silver, and the words were clear and clear.

Zhuo shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible, let Yan Yatou come out and confront each other face to face!" You are falling into the well and forcing the good to become prostitutes! ”

Steward Qiu had already taken back the deed of sale from the shopkeeper's hand, and slowly folded it up, and said: "Is it a fall into the well and forcing Liang to become a prostitute, the person you have found knows best, our Zi Silk Pavilion originally didn't let her in, but she didn't ask for it, and finally came in."

As I said, unless you ransom her, you will never see your daughter again in this life, and there are some of them. ”

"Me! I'm going to the government to sue you! Zhuo shouted.

Steward Qiu had already put away the folded deed slowly, and said, "You go, Ziya Pavilion is waiting for the summons of the government office." ”

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and they, the small people who are promoted to fight, were not the opponents of the Purple Silk Pavilion, and they only wanted to return their daughters in the past, so they came to make a fuss, and called some people to watch the excitement, forced by public opinion, maybe the Purple Silk Pavilion would hand over people.

But now that it has become like this, it has lost the hearts of the people, if it really goes to the government, the Wu family and the Wang family will have no chance of winning against the Purple Silk Pavilion.

Zhuo's and Wu Qing were still going to make trouble, but Wang Zuochang stopped them and said: "Brother-in-law, don't be impatient, there may be a misunderstanding here, although our Xiaoyan is not the daughter of a high-ranking official family, she is also from a wealthy family, how can she sell herself easily?" I can't talk about it, but we've been out for most of the day now, so let's go back and sum it up first, and then we'll talk about it later. ”

Wu Qing glanced at Wang Zuochang, and then looked at Steward Qiu who was sitting here, knowing that with him here today, he couldn't take advantage of it, so it was better to retire for the time being, and make plans in the future. Only then did he swallow a breath and beckoned everyone to retreat.

Zhuo's family was still eager to try, and he only hated that the men wouldn't quarrel and sprinkle, and they were defeated like this in three or two sentences: "Why did you leave like this?" What about the house? Don't you want it? ”

Wu Qing pulled Zhuo Shi and whispered, "How is it possible? Let's leave one person to guard the door of this Purple Silk Pavilion first, I don't believe that she can hide in the Purple Silk Pavilion for the rest of her life.

There is also the deed of sale that says that it was bought from the Tao family as a slave, I heard Xiaoyan talk about this person before, and the one who lives in the same house with her is just a little girl from some county, not a powerful family.

Most of the time Xiaoyan told her about the title deed, she coveted the title deed, so she gave Xiaoyan this trick, coaxing her not only to give the house, but also to buy the body, which is unreasonable!

Hmph, we can't afford to mess with Zi Silk Pavilion, can't we afford that little girl? I've got to make her spit out everything she eats! Our house, when will it be their turn to divide it! ”

The front pavilion of the Purple Silk Pavilion was disturbed, and the two families of King Wu finally retreated. Later, Tao Yao was still talking to her in Zheng Qiaoyan's house, and Zheng Qiaoyan was also very angry when she heard about Wu Yan's family: "How can there be such a family!" There is not a single good thing in this family! ”

Tao Yao persuaded her not to be impatient, and only said: "Now that we have a contract in our hands, we should be able to keep Xiaoyan, I am only afraid that those people in their family will not give up, today is to retreat, and come to Ziya Pavilion in two days to make trouble, which will affect the business of Ziya Pavilion."

Today, Master Liu is angry, and he has come here to find Xiaoyan in person. ”

Zheng Qiaoyan said: "You are kind enough to help her accept it." ”

Tao Yao said with a smile: "I just tried my best, but now I want to ask you for help, you see if you can mention it to your father, if the people of the Wu family come to make trouble again, they will be arrested on the grounds of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and they will be arrested to teach some lessons. ”

As soon as Zheng Qiaoyan heard that she could help Zi Xuan Pavilion solve the trouble, and she could also let Master Liu admit a favor, she was naturally willing, and for the prefect of Hangzhou, it was a matter of duty. Now Tao Yao still has a deed of sale in his hand, and they are all acting justly and reasonably, but it is a matter of effort.

Zheng Qiaoyan responded: "Okay, I'll tell my father when I go back." I'll also go and talk to Master Liu and Steward Qiu in a while, if I see them coming here to make trouble again, I will directly send someone to the prefect's yamen to find a messenger to arrest them. ”
