172 Chapter 4 Big trouble [-]
When Chen Xingyan asked this point, the answer he wanted had already surfaced.

And all the people with active minds present at the scene also heard the tricks inside.

For a little girl, the monthly money is only three pennies a month, even with the reward of a dime, how much can she have?

What's more, she still supports an old woman who takes medicine all the year round. Where did she get the 30 taels of silver in her hand?
This is simply nonsense!

The county magistrate also understood her intention at this time, slapped the gavel and shouted: "Bold!"

Xiao Hong trembled in fright, immediately knelt down and said: "I know I'm wrong, please forgive me."

The county magistrate snorted: "You are a maid, where did you get the 30 taels of silver? If you can't tell where the money came from, then don't blame me for serving you with torture!"

Mrs. Fan's face turned pale in an instant, how could she forget this?
Just now she stopped Chen Xingyan from asking about her previous relationship, and Chen Xingyan didn't make things difficult for her, since she was considered inferior, now that the 30 taels of silver was found out, Fan Xinlian might have to be involved.

Mrs. Fan was also in a hurry, she couldn't think about it now, and said angrily: "You lowly maid, I said why did Lian'er come to look for me that day, saying that she lost her purse and couldn't find it, you must have stolen it! Now My lord is here, don’t hurry up and recruit from the truth!”

Xiaohong also understood now, this is to make her confess all the crimes, and the young lady cannot be involved.

Xiaohong cried: "My lord, the servant didn't steal it, so the purse was picked up by the servant. The lady didn't pay attention when she stepped over the threshold, so the purse was dropped. At that time, the servant was also tempted by the money, so I took it for myself. .”

Chen Xingyan's eyes turned cold. Of course she knew that it was impossible to get Fan Xinlian in with only 30 taels of silver, but the effect she wanted was to make Fan Xinlian not understand clearly.

"Xiaohong, you said you picked up your lady's purse, and there happened to be 30 taels of silver in it?"

Xiaohong's mind went blank at the moment. Seeing that Chen Xingyan believed her words, she immediately followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, there happened to be 30 taels of silver in it at that time."

Chen Xingyan raised his eyebrows, looked at Mrs. Fan meaningfully, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence!"

Many people watching the excitement outside the door also chuckled and said: "Yes, what a coincidence, why did you just drop 30 taels of silver? And it happened to be the benefit of that Lu Shi?"

"Hee hee, I'm afraid this person is stupid? That's 30 taels, not three taels. How can such a heavy thing fall on the ground without making a sound? The person who lost the thing didn't notice it. heart?"

"That's right, don't say 30 taels, even if ten taels of silver is lost, it must be a light in the sleeve."

In this day and age, some people prefer to use sleeve bags, while others like to hang them directly on their waists. How stupid it must be if 30 taels of silver is dropped without knowing it!
Mrs. Fan wanted to make amends, but she had already said her words, and if she repeated them in front of the county magistrate, she might backfire.

At this time, Mrs. Fan really wanted to lock up her daughter and beat her to death!
This time the incident is so big, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Fan family.

Chen Xingyan knew that Fan Ju was teaching in the county school, so he naturally understood that this person should not be offended, at least Lu Xiaoniu was still studying, so he couldn't offend him to death.

What she wanted was for Fan Xinlian to experience what it was like to be attacked by rumors.

"My lord, it's about the innocence of the women. There are witnesses and relevant evidence here. I would like to ask your lord to take a look."

Mrs. Fan was taken aback, but she didn't expect that this topic would suddenly go around Xiaohong.

"allow!"

Chen Xingyan turned his head and glanced out: "Madam Lou, please bring them in."

Nanny Lou was the main person who had been busy in Jiangnan for a while before Chen Juren. She used to be by Lou's side, and she was Chen Xingyan's nanny. After something happened to Lou's family, she stayed by Chen Xingyan's side to serve until Chen Xingyan also had an accident, and the whole family was sent to a remote Zhuangzi by the Liu family.

It took Chen Juren a lot of trouble to get their family together.

At the beginning, Mrs. Liu went too far and demolished Grandma Lou's family in order to prevent them from being loyal to Chen Xinglou again. Unexpectedly, Chen Juren finally found them one by one. .

Mother Lou brought a few people in and knelt down: "My lord, the housewife Lou is originally from the south of the Yangtze River. The housewife is Mrs. Chen's nanny and has been serving the young lady. It's just because there was a villain in the family last year. , trying to murder our young lady, fortunately my uncle rescued me, and my lord was so grateful that he agreed to their marriage. Both the marriage certificate and the mediator between the young lady and the uncle are complete, and there is nothing wrong with it. Also please take a look."

What Grandma Lou sent was a letter written by Chen Juren.

The county magistrate took it over and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was indeed a Juren seal at the bottom, and nodded slightly, "Well, I already know about this matter."

"My lord, someone came to my house to slander my young lady before, trying to force my young lady to ask herself to come down. The lady is kind-hearted, but she also knows that if she asks herself to go down, she will only have a dead end, so she wrote to her family for help. My family The master originally thought that the uncle was a reliable person, but he didn't expect that the young lady suffered such a big grievance, and he was very angry. After that, he went to our local government office in person, and specially asked the magistrate to send an official document, now Presented by the women."

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately got up.

Although he is not the magistrate here, his official position is indeed higher than his own.

Take it over and take a look, it really is covered with the official seal, and the Shangming explained in detail how Mrs. Chen was assassinated by her servants and tried to destroy it with rumors and a series of reasons.

The county magistrate sighed. With this official document from his hometown, Chen Xingyan's reputation was no longer feared.

"Master, take this official document and read it again."

"Yes, my lord."

The master read the official document from beginning to end with a high voice, and everyone around listened carefully.

These days, the power of the government is still very strong.

Even the government issued this official document on purpose. Obviously, Mrs. Chen is innocent. If it weren't for the villain in the mansion, she wouldn't be forced to marry far away here, let alone betrothed to a former soldier. Rough guy.

Chen Xingyan took this opportunity today to take out this official document. Firstly, he wanted to completely eliminate the desire of some people to use his reputation as a means. Second, he also wanted to tell everyone in Gaoyang County that she, Chen Xingyan, Her natal family is no ordinary family!

How could it be possible for the magistrate to send an official letter to come from an ordinary family?
