The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 401 Tanabata 【End】

It is also a coincidence.

Because last time he couldn't see Miaoyu's desolate appearance with his own eyes, Jiao Shun always felt a little regretful, so he thought about using Xing Xiuyan's childbirth as an excuse to go to that unnamed small temple again.

Unexpectedly, the temple was empty, but the courtyard next door turned into a mess.

He followed the sound to find the door, listened carefully, and broke in in time to save the beauty.

But when those idlers saw an official, they panicked immediately.

The leader of the idle man also shrank his eyes, but when he thought that he had a backer behind him, he forced himself to calm down again, cupped his hands slightly, and said with a fake smile: "I'm afraid this lord has misunderstood, but it's just a relationship between neighbors." There was a few quarrels, how can it be said that you are molesting a woman from a good family?"

Seeing that the eldest brother was neither humble nor overbearing, everyone rushed to agree with him, and it was only a quarrel that killed both sides, let alone a physical move, they didn't even touch the hem of the two little nuns' clothes.

"Hey, it's obvious that you guys are the first..."

Jingyi was furious, and was about to expose their peeping at Miaoyu's bath earlier, as well as all kinds of obscenities just now, when Miaoyu pulled her arm hard, her body tilted involuntarily, and the words came to her mouth without saying a word. Can blurt out.

She looked back at Miaoyu in surprise, but saw her young lady stared at Jiao Shun with a slightly cold face and frowned eyebrows, her expression seemed more serious than when she was besieged just now.

"shut up!"

At this time, Jiao Shun let out a low growl, stopped the clamor of those idlers, and met Miaoyu's eyes and asked, "Miss Miaoyu, do you want to report to the government?"

Miaoyu hesitated for a moment, but nodded firmly and said, "Of course I want to report to the officials!"

Although according to the current situation, even if they report to the official, it is very likely that it will be nothing in the end, but since these people have already lived in the next door, if some deterrent measures are not taken, I am afraid that they will inevitably be harassed and bullied by them in the future.

Next time...

The arrival of Jiao Shun was so coincidental that Miaoyu couldn't help suspecting that he was directing and performing all of this. If that was the case, he should not rely too much on Jiao Shun, and should report to the authorities as soon as possible.

"Well."

Jiao Shun nodded without any hesitation, turned his gaze to the leader of the idler, and said: "Miss, just report to the officials, I will guard these people."

After a pause, he added with a sneer: "You have never done anything wrong, and when you get to the government, you will only be punished with minor punishments, but if you dare to resist, or even openly attack the court officials... Huh, then Don't blame the officials for being so ruthless!"

When the idlers heard that they were really going to see the officials, their faces all changed on the spot, even the leader's face was cloudy and uncertain.

After Miaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she just nodded slightly at Jiao Shun indifferently, and was about to leave with her maidservants.

Jingyi knew that her young lady had always been used to trusting her, and she couldn't persuade her, so she smiled and stepped forward to give her a deep bow: "Thank you, Uncle Jiao, for your rescue."

"Just a trivial matter, why bother."

Jiao Shun waved his hand, and said to her: "I stopped by to let you girls know that Xiuyan gave birth to a daughter safely the day before yesterday—but I didn't want to happen to run into this by chance."

How could he fail to see Miaoyu's doubts, this sentence is actually explaining his purpose of coming.

but……

This little girl is so downcast, yet she still puts on an arrogant face, it really makes me very angry!
"Miss Xing gave birth?"

Jingyi couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard the words, she had been by Miaoyu's side since she was a child, and she was naturally used to Xing Xiuyan.

Just as he was about to ask a few more details, the idler in the lead suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that Mr. Jiao from the Ministry of Industry is in person?!"

Without waiting for Jiao Shun to respond, he took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!"

As soon as this sentence came out, even Jingyi felt weird. Although Jiao Shun is a little famous now, it's not like any idle guy can guess his identity from a sentence of "Uncle Jiao", right?

Jiao Shun raised his brows, he had some speculations in his heart, but he scolded mercilessly: "Joke, what misunderstanding can I have with you? If there is a misunderstanding, we can talk about it when we go to the county government! "

"This……"

The man hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward with a shy face, obviously wanting to send a few private words to Jiao Shun.

"You are from Ningguo Mansion?!"

At this moment, Miaoyu suddenly asked, "Aren't those who stole from me earlier and those who came to press for debts also belong to you?"

Although she has a withdrawn and rebellious personality and does not eat fireworks in the world, she is not a stupid person, otherwise she would not be able to teach Xing Xiuyan.

The leader of the idle man in front of him was obviously instructed by others, and although he didn't know Jiao Shun, he knew Jiao Shun to a certain extent...

And the one who deliberately planned to target himself and had something to do with Jiao Shun, of course it was Grandma Zhen from Ningguo Mansion!

After thinking about this section, the things that happened before can naturally be connected. No wonder I have been so unsatisfactory recently. It turned out that it was not bad luck, but someone secretly playing tricks!

Miaoyu rushed up in a fit of anger, passed Jiao Shun in two steps in three steps at a time, pointed at the leader of the idlers and cursed: "What a vicious woman! I just think her house is dirty, so I don't want to give it to her." It’s not enough for her son to be a godmother, but it’s not enough for her to throw me out of the Rongguo Mansion, and she still wants to kill me?!”

The idle man looked at Jiao Shun with a bitter face, and then retorted dryly: "What nonsense are you talking about, what is Ningguo Mansion Rongguo Mansion, what does it have to do with me..."

"You don't want to quibble!"

Miaoyu interrupted him angrily, and said decisively: "Don't think that the Ningguo Mansion can cover the sky with one hand, no matter the county government has the government office, no matter the government government has the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, otherwise I will hit the Jingyang Bell , it is necessary to seek justice..."

"enough!"

Jiao Shun gave a low drink, and without asking what Miaoyu meant, he waved his hands at the leader of the idle man and said, "You guys go, no matter what the reason is, don't come here again."

If it was something that Jia Zhen and his son caused, he would naturally be too lazy to take care of it, and even hoped that Miaoyu could cause some trouble for the father and son.

But this time, the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously You Shi, and it's to vent his anger on his son, so how could he just let things go wrong?

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

The leader of the idler seemed to be pardoned, thanked him twice, and hurriedly greeted his subordinates and shouted.

"Don't go! Stop for me!"

Miaoyu was in a fit of anger, how could she agree to let these people go?

At that moment, he blocked the door with his arms wide open, but when those idlers approached, he also disliked the other party's filthy body, and was afraid of rubbing against something, so he hurriedly dodged to the side.

Seeing those idlers coming out in a file, but she could do nothing, she stomped her feet angrily, turned her head and aimed the gun at Jiao Shun, and said bitterly, "Master Jiao is indeed a good friend of the Jia family. Slaves are used to covering up their masters and bullying them!"

Jiao Shun's originally unattractive complexion, and his increasingly gloomy pot bottom, now who in Ning Rong's Second House would dare to call him a slave to his face - not counting when he was in the boiler room before, but that time Wang Xifeng called him Yue Huan, Jiao Shun became more and more excited.

What kind of thing is Miaoyu?
It's just that he has some good looks and talent, but he dared to expose his shortcomings in person!

"The girl respects herself."

He suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Now you have no evidence and no physical evidence, even if you sue the imperial court, you will only ask for trouble in the end."

"Humph~"

Miaoyu sneered and sneered: "If Lord Jiao hadn't let them go, how could there be no witnesses?!"

"If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the girl wouldn't need a witness!"

Jiao Shun made a tit-for-tat statement, and didn't bother to argue with the woman any longer, so he cupped his hands and said, "Farewell."

With that said, he strode away.

Seeing this, Jingyi said with a bitter face at the side: "Why is this girl? Master Jiao really saved us, if not..."

"so what?"

Miaoyu sneered disapprovingly: "It's just a raccoon dog!"

"But, if you offend him, go to Ms. Xing..."

Jingyi falters but doesn't get the point across, but Miaoyu can understand her meaning: Now that she has offended Jiao Shun, how can she ask Xing Xiuyan for help in the future?
Miaoyu bit her cherry lips slightly, and said decisively: "I'll fix a book tonight, and ask the family to send some silver over!"

Although she was extremely reluctant to bow her head to her family, she couldn't care less about things now.

"Ouch!"

Before Jingyi said anything, the two maids beside her were already overjoyed, and said, "Miss, I have figured it out!"

The one said: "Miss Shengming, what should have been done a long time ago!"

Jingyi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look outside the door, not wanting to vaguely see a figure behind the door, but when she wanted to take a closer look, she disappeared.

at the same time.

Jiao Shun walked out of the alley quickly, but instead of rushing to get into the car, he frowned and muttered on the side of the road.

"Lord Jiao."

At this time, a person leaned over with mischievous eyebrows, nodded and bowed his thanks and said: "Thank you, my lord, for raising your hand so high."

Seeing that the person who came was the leader of the idlers just now, Jiao Shun didn't think it was strange, raised his chin slightly, and asked in an upright manner: "Who instructed you to come?"

"This one……"

"Ok?"

The idle man hesitated for a moment, seeing Jiao Shun's complexion darkened, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's Second Master Qiang, it was Second Master Qiang from Ningguo Mansion who found my brother, let us teach that little nun a lesson!"

"Jia Qiang?"

As soon as Jiao Shun thought about it, he suddenly realized that it was strange that Youshi suddenly came forward to intercede for Jia Qiang, allowing Jia Qiang to stay in the capital.

He glanced back at the entrance of the alley, and said in a low voice, "Don't expose your whereabouts in the future, let your people keep an eye on the nearby Civil Information Bureau, and try to detain the letters they want to send."

The Minxin Bureau is an ancient private post office, which began in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and has spread all over the north and south of the Xia Dynasty.

Miaoyu had only two servants and a maid beside her. Apart from Xing Xiuyan, she had no relatives or old friends in the capital that she could entrust to her. Naturally, if she wanted to send a letter from her family, she could only go through the Civil Letters Bureau.

It takes more than a month to come and go, and it is common to be delayed on the road. By the time they find out that something is wrong, it should be two or three months later, and by then Miaoyu will be out of ammunition and food.

At that time...

"This……"

The idle man was taken aback, thinking that the master in front of him really took off his pants and farted, if he wanted to target that little nun, why did he jump out to block him?

Jiao Shun raised his eyebrows: "What? I can't do it, or I don't want to do it?"

If it wasn't for the fake nun's frequent insults, Jiao Shun originally just wanted to see her jokes, and didn't intend to add insult to injury, but who made the fake nun not have a long memory and insisted on speaking out?
"It can be done, it can be done!"

The idle man hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely send that book to you home!"

Jiao Shun casually took out a 100 tael bank note, and promised that there would be a big reward in the future, and then he drove away amidst the idle man's thanks.

In the evening, he had to rush between Youshi and Li Wan, so he didn't dare to stay here for too long.

…………

That night.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Longyuan finished reviewing the last draft, got up and stretched his muscles, and asked casually: "Is there any progress in the case of the Ministry of Rites? Why haven't I seen the report from the Sanju Division?"

"This……"

Dai Quan bowed his body slightly and said with a smile: "This old slave dare not discuss government affairs indiscriminately."

"What kind of government is this?"

Emperor Longyuan snorted and said: "It's just a group of rotten scholars trying to block the car with their arms!"

Dai Quan didn't dare to go along with it, so he could only laugh a few times along with him, and then cautiously speculated: "This old slave's judgment may be because the Sanju Division wants to find out the truth and report it together."

"Hehe, it would be great if that's the case."

Emperor Longyuan stretched again, walked out from behind the case in good spirits, and said complacently: "No hurry, I have plenty of time to spend with them."

He said it was not in a hurry, but then he gave an order: "Pass down my oral order, let Jiao Changqing make a report every day, and make sure there is no omission in every detail."

After a pause, he added: "I don't need the cabinet to worry about this matter, just submit it directly."

That's all for now, but the direct submission means that Jiao Shunmi has the right to write a report. Although it is only limited to Zhou Long's case for the time being, it is still an honor equal to that of a feudal official.

A 20-year-old head of the sixth grade, who was not a member of the Daoist department, was actually granted such a privilege...

Dai Quan opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Emperor Longyuan walked back and forth in the hall for a few more steps, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Why haven't the plaques of the various palaces been delivered yet?"

Dai Quan was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this matter had not been stopped for more than half a year, and it was the emperor's own special order.

But I thought yesterday that the emperor suddenly dispersed the crowd, and was alone in the garden with the empress...

He said calmly, "Perhaps it's because there's been a delay, and this old servant is going to urge me."

After a while, more than a dozen young eunuchs rushed out of the Qianqing Palace and ran all over the Forbidden City. It took less than a quarter of an hour to collect the plaques of each palace.

Dai Quan held up the dozens of plaques in front of the emperor. Emperor Longyuan raised his hand and glanced over the names. He only felt that this one is plump, that one is charming, the concubine De is dignified, the concubine Rong is bold and unrestrained, the empress...the empress yesterday. I have already been favored, so don't think about it for the time being.

After a long while, he still couldn't make a decision, so he simply picked up all the dozen or so cards he was interested in, and handed them to Dai Quan, saying, "Let them draw lots for themselves. Those who win will go to bed, and those who don't win will continue the next day."

"This……"

This behavior was indeed a bit frivolous, and more importantly, the emperor's body had just recovered, and it was a bit inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.

But Dai Quan also knew that the emperor had been depressed for more than half a year, and now he regained his power with great difficulty. He was bent on performing the scene of the return of the king, and he might be asking for trouble if he insisted on persuading him.

Therefore, he could only send a vague message to the concubines in the palace, implying that they must not act too hastily and damage the emperor's dragon body.

But Dai Quan was just hinting at most, as to whether the concubines who had been absent for more than half a year would listen, that was out of his control.
