Chapter 231
The two men trembled all over, as if struck by lightning.

Xiao Ning shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Everyone is already in your hands, so there is no need to be so rough. If we have something to say, we can ask slowly."

The tone of the last sentence rose slightly.

The master and apprentice trembled even more, they did not dare to look up at the woman in front of them.I just feel that I am being stared at by a sharp and shrewd eye, and if I tell a lie, I will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

"It's very hot in my room, you two must be thirsty." Xiao Ning gave Cheng Feng a look, "I haven't poured water yet."

Cheng Feng was taken aback, he was also the dignified commander of the Great Wei with a sword.It is a great shame and humiliation for him to pour water on these two low-level masters and apprentices.

"Forget it, I'll do the rough work." Seeing that he was not moving, Xiao Ning got up and poured two glasses of water himself.

"Go out now, don't be an eyesore here."

She glanced coldly at Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng didn't know what he did wrong, but since he was expelled, he could only obey orders obediently.He glanced at the storyteller master and apprentice, anyway, they don't know martial arts, so they can't make waves no matter what.

He lifted the curtain and stood by the door, quietly looking into the room.If these two people really dare to jump over the wall in a hurry, he will never be polite.

"The person in the way is gone, you two get up." Sitting on the bed, Xiao Ning looked at the two gracefully like a queen mother.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, neither of them dared to stand up.

"Miss, we really didn't mean to speak ill of you, it's because that person gave you too much money." The storyteller's voice was dry and hoarse, and it was extremely difficult to say every word.

In addition to the tea fee for the storytelling, they also charged an extra 50 taels of silver.

"In addition to the master, many storytellers in teahouses have taken money. Miss, don't blame the master, we are just here to make a living." The little apprentice became impatient, his eyes were slightly red.

Xiao Ning sneered: "In order to make a living, you can collect ill-gotten gains and spread rumors about others at will. You are not afraid of choking yourself to death with this meal!"

The little apprentice had nothing to say, and lowered his head slowly.

"Who is the money owner?" Xiao Ning asked coldly, she didn't want to talk too much to these people who have no bottom line just for money.

Both the master and the apprentice shook their heads, and the younger apprentice said again: "The shopkeeper of the tea house gave us 50 taels of silver in cash to let us say this. We don't know who the benefactor is. Miss, you must trust us! "

Xiao Ning frowned, acting quite secretly.

But even if they didn't say anything, she could guess who the benefactor was.Besides Xiao Wanying, who would spend such a large sum of money to spread rumors about her.

But as early as when she bought the magic stick, she should have gone bankrupt, and now she can come up with such a large sum of money all at once.There are at least a hundred teahouses in central Beijing, and even if she bought ten of them, she would pay 500 taels.

"You are collecting money to do things. It is not your fault, but in the end you are still helping the evildoers. Go to the government and surrender yourself. If I send you there, then you will have no chance to be punished lightly." Xiao Ning didn't want to be a good person.

This time they don't get punished, next time they will charge money to spread rumors about other people.

After the two left, Xiao Ning continued to look through the ledger, counting every account, even a penny.

The accounts for this half month were short of nearly 3000 taels of silver.

This amount of money is nothing to the Song family restaurant, but it is still a huge sum of money alone.At least for Xiao Guang, the imperial envoy, as long as he does not take bribes and does not eat or drink for ten years, he can save the money.

Xiao Guang would definitely not let Xiao Wanying know about the theft of the famous badge of the Song Family Restaurant.In front of his daughter, he has always maintained the mask of a loyal minister and loving father.

Since she wanted to spread her stigma, she had to buy no less than ten teahouses, so that everyone in the capital would hate Xiao Ning.

Except for Xiao Guang, no one would give Xiao Wanying more than 500 taels of silver out of thin air.She lost her status as the number one talented woman in Kyoto, and she didn't show her talents at the poetry meeting. In the eyes of the young master, she was no longer that high-ranking goddess.

Xiao Ning sneered in his heart, as expected, Xiao Guang was behind this.Unexpectedly, he even used his own daughter.

"Miss, when I came back, I heard many neighbors gossiping about you." Cheng Feng stood outside the door and said in a low voice, "Those words are ugly."

There are some adjectives that even a big man like him can't listen to.If it wasn't for hiding his identity, he would have gone to let those people experience his iron fist.

"There are not many good things about me." Xiao Ning has long been used to it.

Even if she associates with an upright person like Shen Shaojie and Chu Ying, she will be uttered all kinds of bad words.Even if you make friends with Princess Jiahe, you will be said to be following others.

If you want to add guilt, there is nothing to worry about.

"The source of this rumor is after all Song Rui and Du Qing'er came up with a plan to drop the bag, and the next day they threw the blame on me. If you want to stop the rumor, you have to start with the Song family." Xiao Ning relied on At the head of the bed, staring and meditating.

Cheng Feng remained silent, thinking of the unreasonable troubles of the Song family master in the morning, he also burst into anger.

Song Rui was clearly a man, as long as he married someone who wasn't old, weak, sick or disabled, he wouldn't suffer anything.Who knew that it wasn't enough for him to get one, but Xiao thought of another one, really greedy.

"Miss has an idea!" Cheng Feng stepped forward with anticipation in his eyes.

Xiao Ning looked down at the ledger in his hand, thoughtfully.

After a long time, she sighed and shook her head: "Forget it, let those people say what they say. Three people become tigers. Since the people on the street have started to say it, no one will believe it if they want to clarify now."

If you want to get rid of the rumors, you have to go through the Song family. Judging from the attitudes of Master Song and Song Rui today, it is impossible for them to let go.

They were the ones who started this matter, and Xiao Wanying got the chance to make a move.

"Then you can't just let others say that! The marriage is clearly the result of the kid surnamed Song running amok! Miss, you saved both of them at the wedding banquet, but he beat them back!" Cheng Feng was furious after thinking about it. two feet.

Xiao Ning's expression softened, and he raised his eyes to glance at him: "You are obviously not at the wedding banquet, how can you say it as if you were there?"

At that time, Si Ruiyan didn't know if he was in Song's house, but Cheng Feng didn't follow him.

Cheng Feng was dumb, his eyes wandering.

"You have been protecting me in secret all this time, is it Si Ruiyan's order?" Xiao Ning didn't need to say anything, she used a very sure tone.

That purple-clothed girl was most likely also done by Cheng Feng.Although Si Ruiyan was also there, he would not be so rash.

"Don't worry, let's see how the rumors will spread tomorrow. Send these two accounts back to Lao Song for me first, and then say that I have read them, and ask him to report them to the Ministry of Finance." Xiao Ning sent some Unknown expenses and income are marked.

The supervisor of the household department knew what was going on at a glance.

As long as the amount is larger, the evidence for Xiao Ning to overthrow Xiao Guang will be more convincing.

Since Xiao Guang's father and daughter all regard her as a fool, then she will be a fool for the time being.

For several days, Xiao Ning stayed in the house and didn't go out much.The daily account books were sent to her by Lao Song, and after checking and recording, they were handed over to the account department for a record.

She wants to keep a clear record of every account of Xiao Guang's deficits, and if she wants to go to court in the future, she can't tell the reason because she can't remember clearly.

"Miss, the doctor said that you have been lying down for a long time, and prescribed some nourishing qi soup for you. You are told to take one in the morning and one in the evening. It is time for you to drink the medicine." Open the curtain.
