The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 301
Bai Zhi waved at him impatiently.

Shen Changyan showed a puzzled expression in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound to stop him.

The first officer ordered the other officers to take the cook and comprador back to the Yamen.

An officer came over and asked, "Will the young master of the Bai family also be taken back for interrogation?"

The leading officer pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why did you bring the eldest young master of the Bai family back? Are you suffering from mental illness?"

The servant hurriedly replied: "The cook recruited the person who forced him to poison him to be very similar to the young master of the Bai family. According to the procedure, he should be brought back to the yamen for trial. If not, he will be sent back naturally."

The head officer raised his hand and gave the officer a slap in the face: "You bastard, you don't even know who the eldest young master of the Bai family is. The bride is the eldest brother of the county head of Xianghe, and the eldest brother-in-law of Shen Shizi. You and I can catch him at your command." Are you arresting anyone? Get out!"

The guard was beaten so hard that he turned around in a circle, nearly fell down, and then left in despair.

Bai Zhi raised a sneer on her lips and asked nonchalantly: "If Bai You is not the identity you mentioned, will he be taken to the Yamen for interrogation?"

The leading officer was stunned for a moment, then smiled shyly, but did not answer directly.

Bai Zhi turned to look at Bai You: "Brother, just go with them. We can't do anything special. Chang Yan is the agent of Jing Zhaoyi, so as not to be rumored to be bending the law for personal gain and having a backer."

After going through so many things, Bai You became more calm, and kept watching, even if it involved him, he didn't speak.

Now after listening to Bai Zhi's words, he nodded and replied calmly: "Okay, I will listen to my little sister."

The head officer hurriedly stopped him: "No, the cook only confessed that the man looked similar to the eldest young master of the Bai family, but he did not say that he was the eldest young master. Wouldn't it be better to just take him to the Yamen like this?"

When Bai Zhi heard this, she just asked back: "Then how can I clear my suspicion about something like my elder brother?"

Bai You nodded and said, "Sima Zhaozhi's heart is known to everyone, so stop talking nonsense. I have to go to the Yamen today."

A look of panic flashed in the eyes of the head officer, and there was embarrassment on his face that he didn't know the delay.

Bai Zhi gave another order: "Since the cook and the comprador went out, everyone who has met my elder brother and can prove that my elder brother has no time to commit crimes will follow to the yamen to testify."

Then a dozen maids and servants stood up, and they all said that they could testify for the young master.

Among them, the young man who had been following Bai You swore that he and the eldest young master would never leave each other, which could prove that the eldest young master had never left the house and had been busy in the house arranging the return of the second young lady.

All the guests understood now.

Those who had previously suspected Bai You because the cook said the poisoner looked like the young master also changed their minds.

Yingwen raised his voice from the side and said: "I also believe that the young master will never be the poisoner, and the cook must have been secretly murdered... How could the White House have just received the grace of the Holy Grace and restored the family, so how could it be possible to do something self-harm? "

All the guests nodded in agreement when they heard what he said made sense.

The expression on the head officer's face became very embarrassing.

Bai Zhi glanced at him lightly and said to Bai You: "Brother, you go quickly, and we will continue to eat when you come back."

Bai You nodded and said, "Okay, little sister, let's go now."

After saying that, he turned around and went out first, followed closely by the servants and maids who testified.

Bai Zhi winked at Ying Yi who was at the side, and he followed immediately.

Seeing this, the leading officer had no choice but to force himself to remain calm, and bid farewell to Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan.

Bai Zhi ordered the maids to remove the dishes and serve them again, and called the guests to continue eating.

"Second Miss, can the chef's words be trusted? He used to be in charge of the kitchen of Bai Mansion. This time I reopened Bai Mansion. I specially invited him back. He is an honest and honest person." Butler Bai came to Bai Zhi's side. , asked tentatively.

Bai Zhi looked at him, did not explain, but replied softly: "Jingzhaoyi Mansion will make its own judgment."

Hearing this, Butler Bai didn't dare to ask any more questions, and left with a salute.

Then Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan went to all the courtyards and guest tables outside the house to apologize, and told everyone that after the meal, they could receive five taels of silver as happy money by pressing their fingerprints.

When all the guests heard this, they immediately exploded.

They never imagined that there is such a good thing in the world. Not only are they free to eat, but they can also receive five taels of silver as happy money.

Unexpectedly, someone asked a question that no one had thought of: "Why do you need to press your fingerprints? This can't be a trap, is there some ulterior secret?"

After she reminded her like this, all the guests suddenly realized that all of them had guarded expressions on their faces, but mixed with desire for money.

Bai Zhi looked at the person who asked the question, and it turned out to be a woman with a pockmarked face.

She casually glanced at the woman, but didn't respond, just stood quietly, without any expression on her face.

A guest retorted: "Isn't it just a fingerprint? You can get five taels of silver, which can cover the family's expenses for several years, and even buy a few acres of meager land. I'm not afraid of such a good thing, and I will get it as I like. "

The pock-marked woman turned around, looked at him, shook her head and sneered: "If you lose your life because of this handprint, let alone five taels of silver, so what if you receive 5 taels, there is no chance to spend it. Don't think that something is just falling from the sky. Bread, who has ever seen giving alms and laying fingerprints on them?”

When the guest heard this, he showed a frightened expression on his face, shrank his neck and became silent.

The pockmarked woman muttered in a low voice: "Sincerely give alms, it should be handed out table by table."

The guests around her felt that it made sense, and immediately spoke out the proposal loudly.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, and asked back: "Five taels of silver is not a small amount. If someone repeatedly claims it, but we don't recognize it, so what should we do? Fingerprinting is just a kind of supervision and restraint. How can there be so many horror stories?"

When the guests heard what she said, they also felt that it made sense. They whispered in twos and threes, thinking that they had gone too far, and regarded the kindness of Xianghe county magistrate as a donkey's liver and lungs. Some even started to apologize to Bai Zhi.

"If you are not afraid of death, then take it. Anyway, I won't take it." The pockmarked woman mocked in a low voice.

When Bai Zhi heard this, she smiled curiously: "Really? What if I give you 100 taels, 1000 taels?"

The pockmarked woman shook her head and said firmly: "My grandfather told me that the more tempted the more dangerous, there will be no pies in the sky, no rewards for nothing, and I will not take money according to my fingerprints. If you take me in the future If the handprints are rubbed out, wouldn’t it be possible to do a lot of bad things and blame them all on me? If I kill someone, I will become a murderer for no reason.”

Now all the guests were a little shaken by what she said.

Bai Zhi nodded and looked at her face, but her eyes were not focused: "Okay, whatever you want."
