Chapter 129: There are many disputes in front of the Marquis's Mansion
The next day, the sky was bright.
Lin Wanxing took Bing Lian and the banner that had been prepared yesterday afternoon and went to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
A white cloth supported by two bamboo poles stood opposite the entrance to the marquis's mansion.
Lin Wanxing sat under a white cloth, put breakfast on a small table, and ate happily with Heiyu and Bingwu.
Gradually more and more people came to the street, pointing and watching the fun.
After finishing breakfast and drinking a sip of tea, he said: It’s time for Bing Wu to go and have a good talk with the people who are watching!
"Clang, clang" the sound of the gong resounded throughout the entire East Street. Don't miss it if you pass by. Please kind-hearted fellow villagers give us your judgment.
"Someone stole your heirloom, shouldn't you ask for it back?"
Of course we have to ask for it back. It's a family heirloom, but why would the Marquis's family steal other people's things when they have nothing?
"You won't believe it, but we have witnesses. Please look: This is the person who stole my young master's things. The people in the Marquis' Mansion instructed this person to steal the dark green gem on my young master's neck, and then beat my young master severely."
"I just want to ask you, are you angry? Do you want justice?"
"Of course I have to ask for it. This is too much. We are rich, so what? This is murder for money!"
Furthermore, this thief who stole the things worked for the saint, and he gave the things to the saint, who then hung them around her neck in broad daylight.
"Don't you think it's infuriating?"
Is it true? Impossible, it really is true. It is said that the Saint Jin Xiangyu once emitted golden light, which was seen by many noble ladies and they were envious.
I didn't expect it was stolen.
Tsk tsk... This is something a saint can do!
"You can't slander my pilgrim girl like this. She is the lucky star of our Great Qi Nation."
Yes, yes, they should be confronted face to face.
"Okay, I'll knock on the door of the Marquis' Mansion right now, and let's all judge for ourselves."
Bing Lian put down the gong, picked up the sword and went to knock on the door.
Dongdong...
Hearing the noise outside, all the men, women, young and old in the marquis' mansion were alarmed.
"Miss, Miss, something big has happened. Someone outside said that you stole someone's heirloom jade and is asking for it back at the door!"
Li Mengjiao rubbed her forehead and said, "What precious jade? When have I ever stolen it?"
Cui Xi rubbed her hands and reminded in a low voice: "Is it the one that Lin Tiedan stole? I'm afraid it can't be hidden now! That person even drew a portrait of Lin Tiedan!"
"How dare you! That was stolen by Lin Tiedan, what does it have to do with me?"
Cui Xi stammered anxiously: Someone said you were seen wearing it, and it was the one that glowed.
Li Mengjiao grabbed the window curtain and gritted her teeth in anger, then raised her hand and slapped Cui Xi.
"Bang, you bastard, that's why you left evidence behind because you didn't do things cleanly!"
"Miss, I was wrong, but what should I do now?"
"What can she do to me? What can she do if she can't find the things?" Li Mengjiao raised her chin and said arrogantly.
But how do you explain that, Lord?
"Miss, Madam asked you to pass!"
Li Mengjiao looked at Cui Xi who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face.
"Come over here and wash me."
In the capital city's Jingzhao Prefecture, the prefect Hou Hanliang was also woken up early in the morning.
Just when he was about to be affectionate with his concubine, his mood was disturbed and he became very angry.
"You'd better have something important to do, or I'll beat you to death for being such a tactless bunch."
"Hey, Master, there's a big commotion on East Street, and the door to the Marquis' Mansion was kicked open by someone. If something happens, it will be our fault for doing nothing!"
"Who, who is so bold as to knock on the door of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"I heard that he was the man who entered the city gate with the Seventh Prince yesterday. I guess he has the Seventh Prince's support?"
Prefect Hou patted his chest and said: So what should we do now? Should we still intervene?
"Master, didn't you hear that the Seventh Prince escorted a group of officials here yesterday? All of them have backgrounds, and they were arrested in different ways. We can't control it, but we still have to show some attitude."
Liu Zhubu was almost crying, he was so anxious about this hesitant official.
"Ah, yes, yes, I have to go! I can't let anyone know that I've lost my job!"
This time, after Lin Wanxing kicked the door, he sat leisurely on the chair opposite and drank tea!
In the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion, the lady with an indifferent face looked at the Saint who was approaching and said, "Although you are not my biological child, you are registered under my name. You know that I value rules the most. Now with your status, you naturally represent our Marquis' Mansion when you go out. If something happens because of you, it is naturally best for you to come forward to solve it, so that others will not laugh at our Marquis' Mansion for being a thief."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, my daughter understands and will handle it properly!" Li Mengjiao's holy and obedient face showed hatred the moment she turned around. She walked out clutching her handkerchief, but before she walked out, she heard a loud bang, a deafening noise.
The servants of the Marquis' Mansion rushed out the door quickly.
Li Mengjiao was also startled and gnashed her teeth and said: How dare he? What is his relationship with that girl?
When Li Mengjiao came out, she had a sad face and red eyes, and spoke softly and angrily.
"Sir, we just met yesterday. Why are you slandering me today? After all, we are a first-class marquis family. We can't be bullied by anyone. Besides, when did I take your precious jade?"
"The Saint is really forgetful. Can Bing Lian show her the portrait?"
The burly man walked over with an imposing manner.
The old lady, whose hair was combed meticulously, stopped him.
Bing Lian's big hand pressed his head without hesitation and pushed him aside.
The old lady staggered back, and sat down on the ground in a daze.
This caused the onlookers to laugh. The old nanny who came out of the Marquis's Mansion naturally had some dignity. She became so angry that her face turned red, and she glared fiercely at the big fool who walked over.
Li Mengjiao was so scared that she took two steps back and took the portrait that Bing Lian handed to her condescendingly.
"This, this is indeed the servant we hired a few years ago, but I didn't know he was a thief!"
"Oh, then do you dare to ask him to come out and confront you face to face?"
"Of course I dare! As the Holy Maiden of the dynasty, how can I allow outsiders to slander me without reason? If this matter has nothing to do with me, how can you explain it to our mansion? You kicked down the door of our mansion and slandered the Holy Maiden of the dynasty. You know what crime you should be punished for!"
"I don't know, but what do you want?" She looked at the arrogant Li Mengjiao and asked slowly.
"Of course you should kneel down and apologize to me first, and compensate my mansion for the losses. I will report to the authorities and seek justice for our mansion!"
"Papa! Oh, the Saint said it very well, it's right, but what if it is proven that you stole it?"
Lin Wanxing stood up, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved robe, a jade crown and a jade belt, and all the surrounding women and young wives were so mesmerized that they kept exclaiming.
"Hey, who is this boy? He's so handsome, like a fairy from a painting, or a man made of jade."
"Haha, that's right, I feel several years younger after seeing this!"
"Hahaha, that's right. People who watch it are so happy and feel like they are back to their youth."
The old man on the side rolled his eyes at the women and muttered.
"Don't you even look at your old faces? How dare you covet that young man?"
"Hey, old tree root, it's none of your business. I just like to watch. Don't you men also stare at young girls?"
For a moment, there was whispering below, as if a group of sparrows were holding a meeting. Lin Wanxing just felt that the wind direction was a little wrong.
"Ahem, Saint, are you afraid to let Lin Tiedan out? Then I won't be polite. I will ask the Seventh Prince to come forward and search personally!"
"Oh, by the way, the pastries you sent yesterday were pretty good. Considering that I helped you out yesterday, you should hand them over as soon as possible."
"You are such a shameless person. You ate the pastries of my saint yesterday, and now you are so cruel and heartless today. You are really a shameless person." Cui Xi cursed angrily.
"Hey, you can't say that. Yesterday, your saint couldn't deliver the cakes and they were just left there. I felt embarrassed for her. So for your saint's sake, I reluctantly accepted it. If you don't believe this, you can ask the Seventh Prince." Lin Wanxing had an expression that said "I'm doing this for your own good", which made the maid very angry.
"You, you are so shameless!"
"Hey, I mean well. Your saint girl stole my things and didn't return them. That's shameless!"
Lin Wanxing was so good at retorting that he made the two people in front of him very angry.
"Okay, Cui Xi, go and pull Lin Tiedan over here." Li Mengjiao stared at Lin Wanxing fiercely.
Make way, make way, the prefect is here.
