The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

Chapter 180 Three: Arrest

Ah Shan seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and turned to Mulan earnestly, "Miss Xiyan, you said just now that you came from the Desheng Bank in the capital, can you please find a way to help? I am willing to pay off the debt with my own body. can do."

Is he going to sell himself?Mu Lan said with some embarrassment: "I was bluffing the matchmaker, but the money I have is really enough, let me see, anyway, my money is also going to be used to buy some property. Buy it, and let you take care of it, I just need to share a little profit every year. When you save enough money, you can redeem it at any time."

"Can this be done?" Xiaochan looked at her hesitantly. After all, this is not a small sum, and Zhuangzi didn't just buy it as soon as he said it. Whoever it is, he must first consider the issue of profit and loss.

Mu Lan knew that she was kind-hearted, so she couldn't help but joked: "I buy other people's land, so what's wrong with that? Don't tell me, you really want Ah Shan to sell himself?" [

Speaking of this, Xiaochan blushed with embarrassment, and in gratitude, she gave her a deep brush and said: "I don't say thank you for your kindness, and I won't be polite to you, but I can thank you Guaranteed, I will definitely manage this Zhuangzi well, and I won't make you regret this decision."

This woman has the tenacity of a modern woman. I believe that in time, she will become a strong woman with one hand.Mu Lan liked her very much, so she hurriedly helped her up, and said: "We can get along as friends in the future, for Zhuangzi's matter, let's draw up a contract now, and when the man who is the owner of the Zhuangzi comes again, we will go to the county government office." Let's get this out of the way."

Although the matter of debts is still suspicious, but if the owner of the Pang Village is really capable of seeing the sky, it is better not to confront him head-on.

Ah Shan cupped his hands gratefully at her and said: "Miss Xiyan, if you have any orders from now on, I, Ah Shan, will definitely be willing to do so."

Mu Lan also said straightforwardly: "I like to make friends with people who are affectionate and sexual. From your treatment of Xiaochan, I can see that you are a very righteous person who can stab your friends. What's more, if I didn’t meet you, maybe I’m still hungry in the mountains. But, don’t chase me with wild boars anymore, my legs are still weak.”

Both of them were amused by her words, and the gloom and mist just now faded away.The three entered the house to draw up a contract, and finally agreed to distribute [-]% of Mulan Zhuangzi's income every year.Mulan also put forward some ideas of her own about planting on Zhuangzi, such as some modern cultivation of fruits and vegetables, as well as off-season vegetables and fruits, etc. Xiaochan was very interested in these and chatted with Mulan a lot.

Originally, when she left the palace, Mu Lan hadn't really determined what kind of property she would make a living in the future, but now she bought this village by chance, thinking it would be good to open a different kind of farm.When I was in the palace, I often came up with such an idea because I couldn't eat the dishes and fruits and vegetables I wanted to eat due to the season. If I succeeded, I should be able to make a lot of money.

Early the next morning, Ah Shan went to the cabin in the mountain for Mu Lan to leave a letter for Xi Feng.Mu Lan was embarrassed to let him run this trip alone, but Ah Shan said that she walked slowly, so it would be easier for him to go alone.What's more, after what happened yesterday, many people stayed in Zhuangzi and took care of them.

To Mu Lan's surprise, not long after Ah Shan left, a team of government servants broke into the village with official documents.Seeing Xiao Chan and Mu Lan, he couldn't help but order: "Catch these two rogues!"

Xiaochan argued puzzledly: "Brother Guancha, our ancestors of the Luo family grew up here and have always been law-abiding. This is something your county master also knows. We are by no means a chaotic party. Are you arresting the wrong person? gone?"

"It can't be wrong." The leading clerk glanced at her and Mu Lan, and said, "Is there a man of unknown origin in your village? The decree above is very clear. The rebellious party is just this man and a woman. As for You, if you dare to hide the rebellious party, you must belong to the same group!"

Mu Lan was startled when she heard the words, a man and a woman, could it be referring to her and Xi Feng?Tang Lingjue discovered it so quickly?

"Brother, I am a relative of the Luo family from the capital city. The man of unknown origin you mentioned is the son-in-law recruited by the Luo family. We are all well-established people. If you don't believe me, you can check it out." Check." Mu Lan calmed down and said calmly, at the same time, she stuffed an ingot of silver into the leader's hand.

The Yacha put the money into his arms, and said in a slightly polite tone, "We have also received a report and are just following orders. Since you are not a rebellious party, just go with us and make things clear when you arrive at the Yamen. , I will let you back."

After the other officials searched inside and out, they came to report: "The man was not found."

The leading Yacha didn't care too much, he just waved his hand and said, "Then take them back first."

Xiao Chan still wanted to argue, but Mu Lan quietly gave her a hand, signaling that she was useless, and only said to the housekeeper and nurse at the side: "If Ah Shan comes back, remember to tell him to bring my brother to the Yamen to redeem us."

Counting the time, Xi Feng should be back soon, and a mere county government office should not be able to do anything to him.

Originally, she was a little worried that her identity had been exposed, but judging from the attitudes of these servants, this should not be the case, and it was probably related to yesterday's incident. [

Sure enough, after the yamen escorted them into the county yamen in a carriage, they were not imprisoned or tried in court, but were directly escorted to the back hall of the county yamen.

In the hall, there were two people sitting at the head of the hall. One was a fat man in his 40s who was wearing an official robe and a mustache. He didn't need to guess that he was the magistrate of Linyang County.The other person is about 30 years old, with a mustache, elegant face, well-dressed, and the appearance of a businessman.

/>

"Are you the gangsters in Luojiazhuang?" The county magistrate put on an official face, looked at the two of them, and then sternly shouted: "You are so courageous, why don't you kneel down when you see this official?"

Looking at the posture in front of her, Mu Lan vaguely guessed that the businessman next to her was probably the owner of Pang Zhuang, right?Judging from the situation, they wanted to suppress them with official authority first, and then let them handle it.

"The magistrate of the county keeps saying that we are disorderly people. What proof do we have? If there is no proof, I have every reason to suspect that you are using power for personal gain and bullying orphans and widows. Recruit us two weak women who have not left the cabinet to the county government. There seems to be no such precedent in the yamen of the Western Chu Kingdom without setting up a court, but entering the back hall?"

Mu Lan said neither humble nor overbearing, seeing the face of the county magistrate changed, but continued: "Also, the person next to you should be a businessman, right? The majestic county magistrate is on an equal footing with a merchant. Could this be the legend Collusion between officials and businessmen? Parents and officials like you don’t need to kneel.”

"You...you are so courageous!" The magistrate of the county has been said like this several times, and for a moment he only felt that the official authority was swept away, and he slammed the table, and became angry from embarrassment: "You dare to slander this official, it is not a disorderly party. What are people?"

Seeing that he was very angry, Xiaochan couldn't help pulling La Mulan with some worry, and was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, but Mulan said disapprovingly: "Then, my lord, which sentence I said is not true? Could it be that Is it true that you are messing with the party and making trouble for the people?"

The magistrate of the county was speechless for a moment when she asked him, and he blew his beard and stared in anger, and shouted: "So what if I am just trying the case in the back hall of the yamen? It's not your turn to point fingers. Come on! Bring this criminal to the top." The thugs hit the top [-] hard first!"
