Chapter 247: A Thief Under the Moon
Yingzhou City.

Tang Shujing has already paraded around the city three times with five carriages!

And trumpeted that this was a reward from Princess Lanling...

During her fast travel, in addition to receiving many strange looks, she also received many complimentary words.

Back at the back house of the state government, Tang Shujing pulled out Mrs. Chen and Tang Shuwan and solemnly introduced them to the origin of the five carts.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen and Tang Shuwan both praised her.

Tang Shujing, who was overjoyed, ordered the five carts of rewards to be unloaded while "sharing the spoils" with her mother and sister.

After working for a while, Tang Ju returned home.

Because both Mrs. Chen and Tang Shuwan already knew that the flower picker had been arrested, they no longer worried about Tang Ju.

Tang Ju was grinning from ear to ear, and pulled Tang Shujing to praise him...

At this time, a boy ran up and said:
"Many people came outside the house, all wearing scarlet robes. It is said that they are the governors of Jizhou, Cangzhou, Mozhou, Shenzhou and other prefectures and counties. They came to visit together."

Seeing this, Tang Ju remained calm and just sat and drank tea in silence.

Tang Shujing asked: "There are so many governors, why do they all come to visit our house? Are they here to see dad?"

The boy said: "No, according to the provincial governors, they came here to... come to thank you, Miss, and they also prepared gifts."

Tang Shujing's bright eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief and disbelief on her face: "Are you here to visit me? So many governors...and they have prepared gifts?"

The boy said: "That's right!"

Tang Shujing was stunned for a long time. A smile appeared from the corner of her mouth and quickly spread to the whole of her sharp and fair face. She couldn't help but be happy.

Then he turned his head and looked at Tang Ju who was sitting there drinking tea frequently. Firstly, he came here to show off, and secondly, he came here to ask his father for help.

She doesn't know what to do now.

She has always had a bold and carefree personality, and she likes to lead a group of policemen on a rampage on the streets.

But... now a group of governors are coming!

The governor is a high-ranking official of the third rank!

They are not the kind of underlings who are like police officers...

Tang Shujing, who had never "taken care of" so many juniors of third-grade officials, was a little timid and had no choice but to ask her father for help.

Tang Ju slowly put down his tea cup, looked at Tang Shujing and asked:
"Jing'er, what do you think?"

"Dad, after all, they are a group of governors, with the same status as dad. My daughter... thinks we should entertain them well!"

"..."

Tang Ju slowly picked up the tea cup and took another sip, then looked at Tang Shujing and slowly told him everything that happened in the marching camp today.

He focused on how the gang of governors slandered Tang Ju for colluding with the flower-picking thieves...

Of course, they also slandered Tang Shujing's reputation, saying that she bullied men and that she secretly colluded with flower pickers, etc., and other details were not left out.

By the time Tang Ju finished speaking, Tang Shujing was already furious.

She stomped her foot fiercely and said angrily: "It turns out that they slandered me like this. It's really too bad. I won't meet such people. Let them go!"

The little servant was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, little one!"

After the servant left, Tang Shujing was still furious. She was either clenching her fists or secretly grinding her teeth, viciously and eager to try.

……

On the street outside the main gate of Zhouya's back house.

A group of ugly-looking governors gathered here.

Behind them were a hundred personal guards, with bright armor and strong armor, standing neatly behind the governors, threatening to surround them.

The person in charge of these personal guards is Zhou Jishi, an official in the princess's residence.

Zhou Ji's office received special privileges from the princess. If these governors could not come to thank Tang Shujing, he would take off the gauze on their heads on the spot.

Squeak!

The door of the mansion opened.

All the governors immediately turned their heads to look.

I saw a boy walking out of the gate with red lacquer and copper nails and said loudly:
"The second young lady doesn't want to see you. The second young lady told you to get out!"

"..."

After saying that, the boy ignored the governors who were petrified in place, went straight back to his house, and slammed the door with red lacquer and copper nails.

On the street outside the gate, there was no sound.

All the governors looked at each other, their faces ashen and extremely ugly.

At this time, "internal strife" broke out among them. Someone pointed at the person who had slandered Tang Ju and Tang Shujing and cursed:
"It's all you, it's all you who slandered others with insufficient evidence. Now it's okay, we have all been implicated by you!"

"That's right, it's all your fault..."

"..."

In a blink of an eye, it was getting dark.

The governors outside the Yingzhou Yamen Gate have not dispersed yet.

During this period, they asked to see him several times, but were turned away.

They are all governors of a state, how have they ever suffered from such uselessness?

However, looking at the guards behind him, and looking at the Zhou Ji room, which was so busy, the governors calmed down and waited here rationally. They insisted on visiting to thank them.

Otherwise, the black gauze on the top of the head will really be taken off...

The lights are on.

Tang Ju took the initiative to meet this group of unlucky governors.

After all, they are all people with status, and it has been long enough to wait outside their door. Everything must be done in a certain way.

However, Tang Ju is not a fool, he took this opportunity to earn a lot of money!

When the governors said goodbye and left, they all looked sad, but fortunately, the black gauze on their heads was finally saved. This is a great blessing among misfortunes!

……

night.

In the dead of night.

Tang Shuwan accidentally got up and went out to admire the moon on a whim.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door of the small courtyard, he saw his sister Tang Shujing directing a few servants to move things there. Judging from the direction they hurried to, it should be a nearby side gate.

Tang Shujing stole things from home and left the house in the middle of the night?
This was the first thought that came to Tang Shuwan's mind.

Her little snow-white hands subconsciously covered the bright red mouth of the cherry to prevent her from screaming.

"Sister...sister..."

Tang Shujing was stunned immediately and paused on the spot with a look of shock.

She didn't expect her sister Tang Shuwan to go out in the middle of the night.

And he happened to catch up with her secret operation...

"Jing'er, what are you doing?" Tang Shuwan released her covered mouth, took her sister's arm, and glanced sideways at the servants who had stopped in a daze.

"You keep going, don't stop." Tang Shujing waved to the servants, pulled her sister together, and explained: "That sister, listen to me..."

"..."

after a little while.

Tang Shuwan once again covered the bright red mouth of the cherry with her slender white hands. Under the night, her bright eyes sparkled and she exclaimed:
"So it turns out that... the thief was caught and brought to justice because of Brother Shi?"

"good."

Tang Shujing nodded slowly.

In fact, she originally planned to bury this secret in her heart, tell no one, and only enjoy the credit of catching the flower picker.

But she tossed and turned in bed, feeling uneasy all the time. She always had the thought of taking away the credit from others, which kept her awake for a long time.
