In the early morning, a green-covered horse-drawn carriage quietly set off from Zhennan Palace.
The coachman was still Zhou Dacheng, besides Baihui Baihe, he was accompanied by only two palace guards.
They are going to Huaiyuan County, which is only seven or eight miles away from the capital of the king. It is a small county. Nangong Yue has never been to it before, and has never paid attention to it. This time they will think of it because the old town of Nanwang is here. There is a small shop there, which is now under Xiao Yi's name. Among the shops left by the old Zhennan King, this is the only shop in the capital, so after careful consideration, Nangong Yue chose this shop.
After more than an hour, the group arrived in Huaiyuan County.
The shop is located at the most lively Kaiyuan Street in Huaiyuan County. Three shops have been opened up to form one large shop. To the Wangfu, it is just a small shop, but it is very eye-catching on Kaiyuan Street.
Zhou Dacheng stopped the carriage diagonally across from the shop with a "wow", squinted his eyes for a while, and was so angry that the veins on the back of his hands bulged. Although they had sent people here to investigate and knew that this shop was no longer the original one, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Zhou Dacheng, are you there?" Lily saw the carriage stopped, so she opened the curtain and poked out half of her head. After looking around for half a circle, her eyes stopped on the signboard of the shop diagonally opposite, showing an indignation.
She retracted her head back, and with the uncontrollable anger between her brows, she said to Nangong Yue angrily: "Consort Shizi, Wangfei really has a good skill, she is so good at playing tricks!"
Nangong Yue opened the curtain by the window, glanced at the plaque with the four characters "Kai Kai Pawn Shop" diagonally opposite, then looked away, and pursed her lips into a straight line.
According to the account book that Xiao Yi left for her, this open source pawn shop should have been called open source grain store.
When the Dayu Dynasty was newly established, after years of wars and the decay of the previous dynasty, the people lived in poverty, so the old Zhennan King opened this grain shop here. This grain store has never been used for profit, but to help them in an emergency. Not only is the price of grain extremely low, but it also distributes grain and porridge from time to time. Therefore, it has never made a profit in the account, and it will post a lot of money every year. …
Before Nangong Yue came here, she naturally went through all the accounts. On the account books handed in this year, the name of the shop was Kai Kai Grain Shop, and it lost a whole thousand taels. If she hadn't sent someone to investigate the old Zhennan Wang's shop and Zhuangzi near the capital, how would she know that this grain shop had been transformed into a pawn shop five years ago!
Compared to Lily's indignation, Nangong Yue looked calm and calm, and even poured a cup of tea for Lily, "Have a sip of tea, let's calm down and talk about it."
Then she poured herself a cup, took a sip of the tea, and said lightly: "It's not just about 'moving flowers and plants', but also playing 'fox fake tiger power' very well."
Isn't it just a fake tiger's prestige, this "open source pawn shop" is relying on the name of Xiao Yi, the son of Zhennan Prince, so the government and nearby ruffians naturally never dare to come to make things difficult for them.
Lily couldn't wait to ask: "Concubine Shizi, I'm ready, do you want to..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a noise from outside. Nangong Yue opened the curtains again and looked at Kaiyuan's pawn shop. There seemed to be someone pushing and shoving at the door...
"You old woman, stop messing around here! Get out!" A rough male voice shouted impatiently, and then a man in green clothes who looked like a buddy pushed an old woman with gray hair out. The old woman was wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, her figure was slightly hunchbacked, when she was pushed by the opponent, she staggered and fell to the ground.
Such a big movement not only attracted Nangong Yue, but even the passers-by around looked at it, but they just pointed and no one dared to step forward to help. The guy glared at the passers-by, and said proudly: "What are you looking at!"
Bai He frowned, and looked at Nangong Yue questioningly. Seeing Nangong Yue nodding her head slightly, she hurriedly got off the carriage.
The old woman rushed over and tried to hug the man's leg, and begged with tears in her eyes: "Master, let's give it another three days, as long as it takes three days, the old woman will definitely raise money."
"No! Tomorrow is the last day!" The clerk tried to kick her away impatiently, but she hugged her calf tightly. Shall we open a charity hall?"
When the buddy said this, the passers-by who were onlookers also nodded one after another, yes, it is only right and proper to pay back the debt!
However, some of them knew that this pawn shop was lending usury on weekdays, and they looked at the old woman with complicated eyes. What is not good for borrowing, and they actually went to borrow usury, isn't this courting death
Zhou Dacheng was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and said: "Concubine Shizi, they are really giving loan sharks..."
As the saying goes: loan sharks, one repay three;
This loan shark is huge profits. Although the Dayu Dynasty had no control over the lending of loan sharks by the people, there were expressly forbidding the royal family, court officials and their families to release loan sharks. Xiao Fang put usury here with such fanfare, and the money went into her pocket, but it was Xiao Yi's reputation that was bad. Even if things got serious in the future, it would have nothing to do with her, the princess of Zhennan. Her Xiaofang family is still the dignified and gentle Princess of Zhennan, and she has a loving heart for the eldest son left by the former princess.
"Master!" the old woman begged bitterly with tears, "the old woman is really penniless and her family is completely destitute. All the land, property, and even the house that can be sold have been sold. Now my grandson is still seriously ill. The old lady can't even raise the money to see the doctor, so I beg you to give me a few more days!"
I didn't expect this old woman to be so miserable! Most of the passers-by felt sympathy for the old woman. Some people wanted to help the old woman, but they were immediately stopped by the friend next to him and whispered something in his ear, and that person withdrew. go back. It turns out that this is the shop opened by the son of the Prince of Zhennan, no wonder they are so arrogant! Even if they have a hundred heads, ordinary people like them can't afford to offend them.
"Hum!" The man snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and said with a sinister smile, "Old woman, don't pretend to be poor, you still have 'things' to sell!" He said meaningfully It is obviously malicious to increase the volume on "things".
The old woman was startled, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, she shook her head desperately and said: "No, how can the old woman sell her granddaughter..."
The guy suddenly turned his face, and kicked the old woman away: "Old woman, I don't care what you do, in short, I must see the money tomorrow morning, otherwise don't blame me for bringing a tooth to the door! "
After all, the old woman was old and frail, and when he kicked her so hard, her upper body fell to the ground... Seeing that she was about to hit the ground, everyone around her exclaimed. Fortunately, at this moment, a cyan figure like a meteor He rushed out and grabbed the old woman, it was Lily.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue and Baihui in the carriage also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mind your own business..." The guy curled his lips a little bored, and didn't want to pay any attention to the old woman, turned around and walked towards the pawnshop.
Lily glanced at the guy's back coldly, squinted slightly, but didn't immediately go to the guy to settle accounts. The Crown Princess has her own opinion on this matter, and she cannot ruin the arrangements of the Crown Princess just because of a moment of righteous indignation.
Lily leaned over and helped the old woman up, "Auntie, are you okay? But what's wrong?"
The old woman looked up at Lily gratefully, shook her head and said: "Thank you, miss, the old lady is fine." As she spoke, she looked at the pawn shop in a daze, "No, the old lady has to ask the shopkeeper again..."
Hearing this, a passer-by kindly persuaded: "Ma'am, it's useless if you ask any more! This pawn shop is opened by the prince of Zhennan. Last time someone came here to pawn, and as a result, a good emerald jade bracelet was given to you by the shopkeeper. Two taels of silver, that person wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, but was beaten half to death, just like that, the government didn’t dare to take care of it. You’d better go home and raise money, otherwise..." The passer-by shook his head helplessly, Otherwise, you really have to sell your sons and daughters to pay off your debts!
"Where can the old woman go to raise money?" The old woman walked forward in a daze, and murmured, "Could it be... Is it really going to sell Miss Li..."
Lily was a little worried at first, but when she heard the old woman's words, she was even more worried. She chased after her and called out, "Ma'am, please wait..."
"Baihe, take this aunt to the carriage, let's give her a ride." Baihui's voice suddenly sounded behind Lily, and Baihe immediately understood what her cousin meant, and hurriedly echoed, "Yes, aunt, you just fell Come on, why don't we give you a ride?"
The old woman was still a little hesitant, but Zhou Dacheng had already arrived beside her in a carriage, Lily smiled and looked at the old woman kindly, and said deliberately: "Mother, you don't think I'm a bad person, do you?"
"How could it be!?" The old woman waved her hands in fear, "How can the old woman be so ignorant, girl, you are a very good person!... Then the old woman has the audacity to trouble the girl."
The old woman gave an address, and got into the carriage with Lily's support.
The old woman looked at the ordinary carriage, but she didn't expect that the carriage was unexpectedly clean, comfortable, and spacious. It was obviously carefully arranged, and the two girls in the carriage surprised her even more, especially The one sitting by the window on the right, although young, only thirteen or fourteen years old, has a woman's head combed, and is as beautiful as the person in the painting, just sitting there and looking at it has an extraordinary bearing, and he grows old for a while. The woman was a little confused.
Baihui hurried over to help the old woman: "Ma'am, sit by my side." After Baihe got into the carriage, she sat down on Nangong Yue's footstool.
Zhou Dacheng yelled outside, and the carriage began to move forward slowly.
Lily smiled and introduced to the old woman: "Mother, this is my wife."
"Madam is kind, the old lady thanked me here." The old woman owed her thanks.
Nangong Yue smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Don't be too polite, Ma'am, I'm just doing a little work. I don't know how to call you, Madam?"
The old woman hurriedly replied: "The old woman's husband's family name is Ye..."
"Ms. Ye, I saw what happened just now, so I would like to ask, why did you borrow loan sharks?" Nangong Yue asked pleasantly.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Aunt Ye's eyes turned red, and she sighed: "It's all old women who are stupid, they tricked them into going..."
It seems that there is something inside. Baihui and Lily looked at each other.
Aunt Ye wiped away her tears with her cuff, and continued: "My son and daughter-in-law passed away a long time ago, leaving only a pair of grandchildren. Four months ago, my grandson was seriously ill and saw several doctors. A lot of valuable medicinal materials disappeared, and it didn’t take long before the family’s cash was spent. At that time, it was the time of the autumn harvest, and the old woman thought about going to the pawn shop to pawn some things, and when the grain was harvested, there would be some Get the money and then redeem the things.”
Speaking of anger, Aunt Ye couldn't help but tightly gripped the fabric of her skirt, "Who knew that when I went to the Kaiyuan pawnshop, the shopkeeper said that the old lady's things were not worth much, and said that if the old lady was in a hurry to use the money, You can lend it to the old woman and only charge one cent of the interest. The old woman thought that it would take half a month, so she borrowed it, and her fingerprints were pressed... But who knew that it was rolling interest, and the amount had already doubled in half a month. Times…”
Baihui and Lily at the side couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, their eyes ignited with raging anger. This is really lawless!
Aunt Ye choked up for a moment, and continued: "In order to repay the usury, the old woman sold everything in the house, even the land, but she still didn't pay it off. Now I have nothing, only this pair of Grandchildren... But it seems that even the granddaughter will not be saved..." She couldn't suppress her grief any longer, and sobbed.
Nangong Yue signaled Baihui to give Aunt Ye a piece of handkerchief, and asked in a deep voice, "Aunt Ye, since you were tricked by a pawnshop, why didn't you sue the officials?" Her eyes were dark, like a deep pool, Bottomless.
Aunt Ye looked at Nangong Yue blankly and said: "The pawnshop said that even if the old woman sues the government, it is useless. This IOU is written in black and white, and there is the old woman's handprint on it. It cannot be faked. Besides, that pawnshop is Zhennan. The crown prince opened it, and the officials protect each other, how could the county magistrate offend the dignified prince for ordinary people like us!"
For a moment, there was silence in the carriage. Lily was about to say something, but Baihui swallowed the words depressedly with a look.
Nangong Yue pondered for a while, rubbing the ring around her waist with the index finger of her right hand... Although she had already arranged someone, but now it seems that this Auntie Ye seems to be more suitable. As she thought about it, she raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Ye, her eyes were firm and clear.
"Ms. Ye, I'm from the capital, and I know a little about the Prince of Zhennan... As far as I know, the Prince of Zhennan is definitely not the kind of domineering and bullying person. I'm afraid there is a villain behind him. "Nangong Yue said unhurriedly, that soft tone seemed to have a calming power, making people believe her involuntarily.
Aunt Ye didn't expect Nangong Yue to say such a thing, she was both shocked and suspicious. Although this little lady seems to be from a wealthy family, but judging by the carriage and her clothes and jewelry, she is at most from a scholarly family, how could she know the prince of Zhennan
But when I think of the crowd watching just now, the only one who is willing to help and speak out is this little lady's servant girl. If they can't even believe them, then who else can I trust
Aunt Ye took a deep breath and asked: "Ma'am, please teach the old lady, what should the old lady do?"
"Beat the drum to complain." Nangong Yue said four words lightly.
"Sue the officials..." Aunt Ye was an ordinary citizen, she was born afraid of offending officials, so she hesitated for a while.
But think about it, she has already come to a dead end, if she doesn't sue the officials now, then tomorrow...tomorrow her family will be ruined!
Aunt Ye's eyes widened involuntarily, as if grasping the last straw, she hurriedly said: "The county government office, my old lady has to hurry to the county government office..."
"Ms. Ye, don't be impatient." Nangong Yue persuaded softly, "The most important thing now is to ask a doctor for you to show your son."
Aunt Ye couldn't believe her ears, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!" At this time, besides thanking her, she no longer knew what else to say...
Maybe, maybe I really met a nobleman? Aunt Ye was terrified, but a little flame ignited in her heart.
This little lady will never lie to her!
She is going to sue the judge!
…
An hour later, Baihui took Aunt Ye out of Nangong Yue's green carriage and arrived at the county government office. Nangong Yue watched the two of them off in the carriage, quietly watching the changes.
This Huaiyuan County is just a small county. Naturally, the style of the county government cannot be compared with the Jingzhao Mansion in the capital, but it also has an aura of majesty that makes people dare not approach it easily.
According to Dayu's legal calendar, those who go to Jingzhao Mansion to beat the drum to appeal for grievances, regardless of whether the grievances are true or not, will stick twenty first. In contrast, this ordinary county government is much more polite, and if the grievances are true, You can pardon the punishment of rod punishment, but if it is a false accusation, then don't blame the magistrate for being rude!
Aunt Ye's chest was beating wildly like a drumstick, and her legs were trembling slightly. She glanced at Baihui uneasily, and Baihui nodded slightly at her, which finally summoned up her courage.
She picked up the wooden mallet next to the Dengwen drum, struck the first drum heavily, and shouted: "Master Qingtian, the women are wronged!"
Immediately after the second drum, the third drum... With the sound of the "dong dong" drum, her expression became more determined and tragic, and she roared with tears: "The women want to sue Kaiyuan pawn shop for cheating, bullying and deceiving the people." The wife borrowed usury money at high interest rates, causing the women to go bankrupt!"
The thunderous drums immediately attracted a lot of passers-by, and when they heard the word Kai Kai Pawnshop, they exploded, whispering and pointing:
"I heard that this Kaiyuan pawnshop seems to belong to the prince of Zhennan, right?"
"This old lady is desperate, she even dares to sue Kaiyuan pawnshop!"
"Yes, yes, the officials protect each other, and the people don't fight with the officials. I'm afraid this old woman won't be able to redress her injustice, and she will be beaten!"
"..."
After a while, two yamen servants came out of the government yamen, and asked Aunt Ye coldly, "Where did you come to the old lady, why did you come to the county yamen to beat the drums?"
Aunt Ye fell to her knees on the ground, and said loudly: "Master Qingtian, the women have grievances to report!"
Since Mrs. Ye beat the drums to appeal for grievances, the magistrate of the county can only open the yamen and accept the case. Soon, Aunt Ye and Baihui were brought into the court. And those passers-by who had good deeds also flocked to the outside of the hall to watch.
Nangong Yue picked up the curtains and stared at this scene, her face sinking like water. Lily at the side naturally felt her displeasure, and said: "Concubine Shi, with my cousin following her, Aunt Ye must not suffer."
Nangong Yue responded softly, her heart still heavy.
This Auntie Ye was lucky enough to meet them, but I don’t know how many people have been ruined by Xiao Fang’s people these years, selling their children and daughters... This Xiao Fang is not afraid of committing too many crimes, Harm to children
At this time, the crowd outside the county government office suddenly became commotion, and an old woman said in a loud voice, "It's no wonder that this old woman dares to come to the county government office to file a complaint. She also found the backer."
"Yes, yes!" The old man on the side hurriedly echoed, "I don't know who the little girl with her is, but I just whispered a word to the master, and the county magistrate was so polite all of a sudden..."
"In my opinion, this girl is just dressed up as a servant girl, probably a servant girl of an official family."
"However, no matter how good it is, it can't be compared to the son of Prince Zhennan..."
"However, this is the first time in several years that the shopkeeper of the Kaiyuan pawnshop has been interrogated!"
The crowd of onlookers talked freely, and saw a yamen servant hurried out of the county yamen, rode away, and looked in the direction that he should go to Kaiyuan pawn shop.
Lily put down the curtain, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Nangong Yue with a smile: "Concubine Shizi, don't you think that cousin is acting like a bully? I should have let me go if I knew it earlier. I like doing this kind of job the most!" She sighed regretfully.
Nangong Yue glanced at her with a broken smile, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let you go next time."
The two were chatting in the carriage until after a stick of incense, there was another commotion outside:
"Look, Detective Li is coming back soon!"
"Strange? Why is he the only one?"
Nangong Yue and Baihe hurriedly looked towards the gate of the county government office again, only to see that Captain Li got off his horse just in front of the county government office, and he really came back alone.
The magistrate of the county has personally let go of the words, and the shopkeeper of the Kaiyuan pawnshop dared to ignore him. He is so arrogant and domineering, and he is lawless, which shows how arrogant and overbearing he is in his daily life.
However, Baihui is acting in the name of the Nangong family. The grand master of the Nangong family is a Beijing official. Even if the magistrate of the county cares about Zhennan's son, he is too embarrassed to do nothing. He has to put on a show...
While thinking, there was another commotion at the entrance of the county government office. It turned out that three government servants came out of the county government office with Mrs. Ye and Baihui.
Baihui exchanged glances with Lily from a distance, and Lily immediately understood, and said incredulously, "Could it be that they are going to confront Kaiyuan's pawn shop?" Isn't the magistrate of this county really too useless? If it was her, she might as well send The two yamen servants just tied up the shopkeeper. Could it be that the pawnbrokers still dare to beat the yachamen
Nangong Yue actually smiled, and said meaningfully: "Also, Kaiyuan Street is lively enough!"
When Bai He heard it, she also laughed, "What the Concubine Shi Zi said is that it is fun when there are many people!"
The bigger the trouble, the better the effect! Since the shopkeeper is so cooperative, they will do as he wishes!
Without Nangong Yue's instructions, Zhou Dacheng followed in his own carriage, not only them, but also the people who had been watching at the gate of the county government office, so that the team seemed mighty, and there were even more and more people along the way. Many people also joined the team after learning the cause and effect. This Huaiyuan County is really too small, it has been a long time since there has been such excitement to watch!
When we got to Kaiyuan Street, the storekeeper who heard the news was also taken aback when he heard the report from the buddy. Although the shopkeeper has seen some things in the world, this is the first time he has encountered such a scene, and he feels a little guilty, so he glared at the shopkeeper viciously. If he hadn't dealt with Mrs. Ye well, how could there be such troubles? !
The man was so frightened that he shrank reflexively, hating Aunt Ye to death in his heart, and secretly said: When the official errand is settled, he must teach this dead old woman a lesson! Doesn’t she love her granddaughter? Her granddaughter was sold to a kiln!
The clerk's vicious gaze made Aunt Ye tremble, and Baihui supported her right arm, smiled gently at her, and said silently: It's all right.
The tall and strong head catcher took a step forward, and said to the shopkeeper in a rough voice: "Shopkeeper Wang, this Mrs. Ye is suing your pawnshop for tricking her into borrowing usury, causing her to go bankrupt, and forcing her to sell her granddaughter, what do you have to say?" can say?"
Shopkeeper Wang blew his mustache, and said disdainfully: "What coaxing? Her own handprint was added to the black and white words. She wanted to borrow money herself. Now if she wants to renege on her debts, she will pretend to be poor! Catcher Pan, don't be fooled by this trickster." Min was fooled, I have an IOU here, it is in duplicate, absolutely not tampered with at will, even if I go to Jingzhao Mansion, I am justified.” Then, shopkeeper Wang took out an IOU and handed it to Butcher Pan .
Pan Baotou glanced casually, then turned to Aunt Ye and said, "Aunt Ye, is this really your handprint?" There was a bit of impatience in his tone, and he knew what the pawnshop was doing. But since the IOU is genuine, I can only blame the old lady for being a fool and a liar. According to Catcher Pan, it doesn't matter if such a trivial case is ignored, why bother to offend the people in Zhennan Wangfu for nothing? I don't know if the county magistrate took some wrong medicine today, so he insisted on making this trip for nothing.
Aunt Ye nodded helplessly, and explained: "But he clearly told the women that it was a profit..."
"The calculation method of interest is clearly written on my IOU. You didn't understand it. What's my business?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at Aunt Ye contemptuously. Go to your house to collect the bill!"
Aunt Ye looked at Pan Butou begging for help, Pan Butou said perfunctorily, "Ma'am, I think you should go back early to raise money."
When he said this, shopkeeper Wang became even more proud, and thought: He knew that the county magistrate would not dare to offend their Zhennan palace.
But the passers-by watching around saw the end like this, shaking their heads and chattering about such words as "officials protect each other", "people don't fight with officials", "officials crush people to death" and so on.
Shopkeeper Wang looked around with his chest up, and said arrogantly: "My pawnshop is the property of the son of the Prince of Zhennan! If you want to renege on the debt, there is no way!"
Baihui suddenly took a step forward, and asked in a cold voice, "You said, this Kaiyuan pawn shop is owned by the son of Prince Zhennan?"
"Naturally!" Seeing that the situation had settled, the man next to shopkeeper Wang also raised his head and puffed up his chest, "Ask your neighbors, who doesn't know that the owner of this pawnshop is the son of Prince Zhennan!"
Baihui smiled lightly, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, give me a testimonial today, so that they won't be fooled in the future!"
The onlookers were confused as to what kind of medicine was buried in the little girl's gourd.
Baihui looked at shopkeeper Wang coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Treasurer Wang, my master is the concubine of Prince Zhennan, and today I am here to inspect the property at the order of the concubine!"
This simple sentence shocked everyone, and the surroundings were completely silent.
What is this, the prince and concubine of Zhennan came to find trouble with the prince? Or... the quick-witted person suddenly thought of a certain possibility.
Soon there were ripples in the crowd again, like a stone falling into a pool.
And Aunt Ye was already dumbfounded, and couldn't help but think: If the master of this Baihui is Zhennan Wang Shizifei, wouldn't it mean...
Baihui continued to speak loudly: "Shopkeeper Wang, I only know that Shizi has a grain shop at the entrance of Kaiyuan Street, and I don't know when it became a pawn shop?" She paused on purpose, and slowly, word by word Asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, could you please explain?"
Shopkeeper Wang was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he was completely speechless. He couldn't say that this was the order of the princess, could he? How could this be? He was also a little apprehensive in the first few years, but Manager Niu comforted him and said that there was no need to panic.
Seeing shopkeeper Wang hesitating but unable to speak, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were speechless: it turned out that this shopkeeper Wang is a slave to bully the master! He must be too brave!
Baihui turned her head to look at Pan Tutou, and asked with a smile: "Pan Tutou, I don't know if you know how to punish this slave who deceives the master?"
Pan Butou couldn't hide the shock on his face, he thought in his heart that the magistrate asked him to make this trip, and hurriedly said cooperatively: "Girl, according to Dayu's law, this slave beats and bullies the master. You can kill him directly!"
Stick dead!? Shopkeeper Wang was almost dumbfounded, his legs softened, and he knelt down, his body shaking like a sieve.
Baihui said coldly: "If you are such an evil slave, let's kill him with a stick."
Shopkeeper Wang turned pale with fright, and blurted out: "Girl, I am wronged! I dare not bully the master..."
"Never dare to bully the Lord?" Baihui snorted coldly, "Then who gave you the courage to use the name of the son of the world to privately turn the grain shop into a pawn shop and give us loan sharks! A slave like you will be killed No exaggeration!... Boss Pan, I will trouble you."
Pan Butou was stunned for a moment, he didn't know whether he was suppressed by Baihui's aura or frightened by her master, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Come here!"
Two guards stepped forward upon hearing the sound, and were about to arrest shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang was so frightened that he blurted out: "The little one, how dare you make a presumptuous claim? The little one is acting on the order of the princess!" As soon as he spoke, he was shocked He covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
Baihui sneered and reprimanded: "Bold slave! The princess is benevolent and benevolent, how can she do such a dirty thing. You think that the princess is thousands of miles away, so you just talk about it?" When using the four words "beyond", Baihui prolonged the sound on purpose, which was somewhat meaningful.
Shopkeeper Wang figured it out right away.
It has come to this point, what is more important than survival? The princess is thousands of miles away, and there is nothing he can do for a while, but now, once he bears the charge of deceiving the master, he must be beaten to death . Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wang gave a sigh of relief, kowtowed quickly and said, "Girl, the little one has a letter from the princess! It's definitely not the little one talking nonsense!"
This unexpected development has stunned everyone around, what is going on here
After a moment of silence, the crowd of onlookers quickly spoke with each other:
"Since it's Princess Zhennan who put ushers, why rely on the name of the son?"
"That's right! Princess Zhennan should be the mother and concubine of the Shi Ziye, right? Aren't they from the same family?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't figure it out, until more than one person in the crowd said at the top of their voices: "I seem to have heard someone say that this princess seems to be the second princess, not the biological mother of the eldest son." .”
"So it's the stepmother!"
"It's no wonder... It seems that this second princess wants to usurp the property of the son!"
In an instant, everyone knew the truth!
Diagonally opposite the Kaiyuan pawnshop, Nangong Yue, who was sitting on the carriage, put down the curtain, and said to Baihe calmly, "After you go back, you tell Zhu Xing to let Chen Yushi impeach the prince and release the imprint privately in the early morning tomorrow." money, and forced the people to ruin their families.”
Impeaching the crown prince? Lily froze for a moment.
-off topic-
Thank you for the monthly pass, diamonds, flowers and rewards, thank you very very much!
