Huang Yueli smiled and said: "That's good, I definitely believe in everyone. Caiwei, go get pen and paper quickly!"
"Yes, miss!"
Caiwei hurriedly ran into the study and came out after a while with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Huang Yueli picked up the pen and quickly wrote an IOU.
"Okay, Caiwei, please ask all the guards to sign their names, starting with the commander. Don't worry, everyone, after signing, I will follow you to the Hou Mansion!"
"Miss Third, you are so kind..."
"The third lady is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is truly a lady!"
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly flattered him. A lot of complimentary words were poured out as if they were free of charge!
Huang Yueli curled her lips slightly and nodded. It seems that I am very satisfied with everyone's praise.
Caiwei took the IOU and first sent it to the commander of the guards: "Commander, please sign here first."
"Okay, no problem!" The guard commander patted his chest and agreed. He took the pen without hesitation and signed his name at the bottom of the IOU.
As he was writing, he praised: "The third lady's handwriting is so beautiful, her writing is very dynamic, and she is full of momentum. She is worthy of being the daughter of the Marquis, a noble princess, but she is different! I have never seen this before." Such beautiful words!"
"Thank you, thank you. Your Majesty, you are so kind!"
The IOU was circulated in front of all the guards, and everyone signed it impatiently, fearing that Huang Yueli would suddenly figure it out and regret not letting them write the IOU.
Huang Yueli took the note Caiwei brought back, looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction: "Great, you are all happy people! Then as we agreed, you will raise four hundred taels of silver in ten days. Send it to me. Otherwise, I will send this note to the Hou Mansion and show it to my second uncle what you said about him behind his back!"
"What? What does it have to do with Mr. Hou?"
The guard commander thought there was something strange about these words and asked a little strangely.
Huang Yueli said with a smile: "I didn't know before that you are so dissatisfied with the Marquis! You think he pays too little, and you think he treats his subordinates harshly, and you want to go to the emperor to complain and expose it. he!"
"What?!"
"What's the meaning?"
"I, I... Why can't I understand?"
Huang Yueli took the note and came closer so that the guards could see it clearly.
When everyone took a closer look, they almost spit out a mouthful of blood!
This is not an IOU, but a petition in which the guards of the Marquis of Wuwei collectively accuse the Marquis of bending the law for personal gain! It was full of dirty information about Bai Liujing, including all kinds of weird things. It was like pouring dirty water on his head!
Moreover, just below the pleading, ten names were neatly signed. They were ten members of the Guards, and there were many of them present!
"you you… "
The guard commander almost couldn't breathe.
The third lady actually tricked them like this. What she signed for them was not an IOU at all!
Huang Yueli took back the note and said softly: "I didn't expect that my second uncle would be so bad to his subordinates. You all have worked so hard. Don't worry, I will definitely help you bring this petition in if you need it. Go to the palace and let the emperor uphold justice for you! Don’t worry, everyone!”
No one answered.
Huang Yueli looked back strangely and found that most of the guards had fainted from anger on the spot!
