Zhao Fulai was immediately confused. Wasn't he the plaintiff? How to prove your innocence?
It should be Qianwen who clearly wants to prove his innocence!
"Sir, how can the shopkeeper of Qianqian Cloth Store prove that he did not collude with Xiaosi and burn my fabrics? Are you covering him up?" Zhao Fulai has always been an honest man, and he will say whatever he thinks in his heart.
But these words really touched Mr. Zhang’s backbone.
What's the difference between calling him a cover-up in public and slapping him in the face?
"Bold! Presumptuous! You dare to slander me. What a crime! According to my opinion, you are in the same group with that mistress! Come on! Drag him down and give me a hard beating!"
Qian Wen watched with schadenfreude as the yamen officer stepped forward to drag Zhao Fulai down, when a clear female voice came.
"Wait!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw a woman wearing a pale pink silk brocade robe. The robe sparkled in the sunlight, making her little face a little brighter, and her already beautiful face became even more delicate.
"Who is this! Whose lady is in our town? I have never seen her before."
"What a beauty!"
"Isn't this the shopkeeper of Nishangfang?"
"Nishangfang?"
"That's right! You didn't see the dress she was wearing, but Yun Lingjin is so precious!"
"The dress made by Yun Lingjin is so dazzling."
······
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the people in the hall, and even Master Zhang couldn't help but look straight.
An Yi sneered inwardly.
If you look again, the master will definitely pluck out your eyeballs.
Qian Wen was the first to come to his senses and said coldly: "You stinky little girl, what are you doing here? This is a court!"
Wen Xi sneered: "Shopkeeper Qian, you and I are both shopkeepers, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this? Besides, when you were my age, you were probably still pinching mud!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside burst out laughing, and then everyone started laughing.
Qianwen's face turned red when he was told: "What are you doing here!"
"I have to provide evidence." Wen Xi rolled her eyes at him, not bothering to talk nonsense with him, and bowed to Mr. Zhang: "Sir Zhang, this little girl is the shopkeeper of Nishangfang. The existing evidence can prove that the fourth mistress is the shopkeeper. Instigated by Shopkeeper Qian of Qianqian Clothing Store."
Mr. Zhang's originally somewhat obsessed eyes suddenly sobered up. If evidence can be produced to prove it, what should Mr. Li do if he is blamed?
"Why, Mr. Zhang, is it possible that Shopkeeper Zhao really told you that you are trying to protect him?"
Wenxi's voice was loud enough that the people standing outside could hear it.
"That's right, just now I felt that Master Zhang was protecting Qianqian Clothing Village."
"If you don't even put them to trial, you will be beaten into submission."
······
Although the discussion was not loud, it just passed into the hall. Wen Xi's lips curled up and he couldn't help but praise An Yi and Muruncheng.
These two are really discerning.
Although Mr. Zhang wanted to protect him, with so many people outside watching, he might arouse public resentment if he went too far.
"Send it over!"
Wen Xi handed the money bag to the yamen servant next to him. Master Zhang took the money bag from the yamen servant and asked, "What is this?"
"Sir, it's the money bag that Xiaosi has hidden at home."
Money bag? What to do with this?
"You will know when you open it, sir."
Master Zhang took out the silver, which contained two silver ingots worth ten taels: "If it's not just twenty taels of silver, what can it prove?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Wen's face became visibly ugly.
Wen Xi saw it and sneered, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you see the words on the silver ingot?"
Engraving?
Master Zhang took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a "李" engraved on it.
"Li?" Mr. Zhang regretted it as soon as he said it.
This is clearly the special engraving for the magistrate of Qingping County.
According to Dongchen's rules, the silver coins used by officials above the county magistrate must be engraved with special characters to prove the amount of silver in the house and the use of the money. After the transaction, the silver must be sent to the bank to be exchanged for ordinary silver coins, and the common people can can use.
When Xiaosi got the twenty taels, he didn't go to the bank to exchange them in order to avoid others' suspicion.
"This is the silver coin from the mansion of Mr. Li, the magistrate of Qingping County, the owner of Millennium Cloth Shop. If it wasn't for Mr. Li's instruction, how did Xiaosi get the silver coin with the inscriptions on it?"
"You, you..." Qianwen pointed at Wen Xi's nose, but couldn't find an excuse to argue.
"Shopkeeper Qian, you said on the street that your boss was Lord Zhizhou Li."
Mr. Zhang sat there, his face turning blue and white.
Qianwen's face was even more dejected.
It's over, not only did Fulai Buzhuang not be brought down this time, but the master was also caught up.
If the master knew about it, wouldn't he be able to peel off his own skin?
"You stinky girl, you stole my employer's money from somewhere and spread rumors here!"
"Stealing?" Wen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, shopkeeper Qian, who is stealing! I'm afraid our one-day turnover of the neon clothing shop can be equal to your six months and a year! What a crime. Are these twenty taels going to commit adultery?"
After saying that, she raised her hand and stroked the broken hair beside her ears. The green thumb on her thumb made Master Zhang's eyes widen.
This, this, this...
This is not, it is, the war king's...
Wen Xi saw his expression and knew that he recognized the ring on the second floor.
She was wearing the second ring given to her by Mo Yuyan.
Looking at the energy of this finger pull, the adult's face can be said to be extremely ugly.
Qianwen didn't know why Mr. Zhang showed such an expression. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and urged: "Sir Zhang, you must deal with it impartially! Otherwise, the villain's boss..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Zhang interrupted sharply: "It's not your turn to dictate what I'm doing!"
Lord Zhang glared at Qianwen fiercely, "You are going to kill me for being stupid."
Qian Wen was stunned for a moment by the roar, but did not dare to say a word.
Mr. Zhang quickly came down from the stage, walked to Wenxi's side and handed the silver ingot to Wenxi himself.
Wen Xi knew what his purpose was, so he raised his hand with the wrench and took the silver.
She clearly saw that as the wrench on her hand gradually became complete, the adult's face became paler.
Hey, it seems that no matter which dynasty you are in, you can't avoid being crushed to death by the official level!
It's not easy for adults to think about it.
I thought it was just a matter between two shops, but I didn't expect that a Qingping County magistrate was brought out, and now even Dongchen's War King was blown out.
"Master Zhang, tell me, was what I just said right?" Wen Xi retracted his hand and said with a smile.
Mr. Zhang just felt like he was sweating profusely. Did he dare to say it was wrong?
He didn't know what the relationship between Wen Xi and the War King was, but just based on the fact that he could get the War King's token, this girl's identity was by no means simple.
You must know that on the first day he was on duty in this government office, the superiors had ordered that they must recognize several things: the first was the imperial seal, and the second was the War King's token!
