Chapter 49 Let’s go to Xixiang Tower
  "Sir, please don't blame my husband for this matter. It was all my idea... I'll do it all."

She looked pale, covered her mouth and coughed again, and then spoke slowly.

"I... actually didn't do this because I used something from Sihai Penglai. I did come to buy soap that day, but I was stopped by someone on the way back... She gave me a pack of medicinal powder and told me that if I apply it on my body, it will be good. A rash will appear all over the body, and if you drink it with water, the fever will not go away, and I will blame Sihai Penglai..."

Hearing this, the people around him burst into flames.

"Let me tell you! Sihai Penglai must be unjust! I have bought all the food, drinks and supplies from Sihai Penglai! They are all good things!"

"Yes, yes! My wife also bought candy milk for my child yesterday. I also had a taste of the milk. The taste... and there are many flavors. It is not expensive at all for one tael of silver!"

"I just said that the things in Penglai in Sihai are good, so I bought some soap and my husband liked it very much. I didn't like bathing so much before, but since I started using soap, I bathe every day, and even my skin looks whiter."

"Sure enough, someone has framed her! This person is really hateful! Penglai Shihai did not provoke her, but for the money, she did such an unscrupulous thing, and she was not afraid of thunder!"

The expression on the woman's face was gray and white.

She finally figured it out today. There was a backer behind Sihai Penglai, and she could never defeat him.

She couldn't bear that her husband was so reasonable and tried to seek justice for her, and the child was wronged. Anyway, she was doing things for others, and she didn't get much benefit, so she simply told everything and tried to win leniency.

"After putting the blame on Sihai Penglai, she will give me one hundred taels of silver as a reward."

After the woman finished speaking, she paused and coughed for a while, then continued: "I'm really blinded by lard. My two children have reached school age, and my family has no money to send them to school. I was blinded by money for a moment, and this talent……"

"Who gave you the powder?" the policeman asked hurriedly.

After finally getting an answer, of course he couldn't let it go.

The woman covered her mouth and coughed twice before slowly replying: "I don't know either... I met her in an alley very close to home. She was wearing black clothes and could only be recognized. She is a woman, but she asked me to go to Xixiang Tower to collect the money from her after I finish my work."

As she spoke, she took out a jade ring from her arms: "This is the token that person gave me..."

The catcher's eyes lit up and he immediately took the jade ring.

The wrench finger is completely translucent and glowing with a gleaming green color. It looks like it is made of the best materials.

This ring is much more than one hundred taels of silver.

He asked with some confusion: "Since I gave you this ring, it will definitely be sold for more than one hundred taels of silver. Why didn't you just take the ring and leave? Why did you have to take such a risk?"

The woman smiled bitterly and sighed.

"It's easier said than done. My family is ordinary people, and the other person will look like a powerful family. If I take that person's things and leave, I don't even know how my whole family died."

She struggled to climb down from the board, knelt heavily on the ground, and pleaded with red eyes: "This was all my own idea, and my husband-in-law didn't know... He was just deceived by me and wanted to redress my grievances. I Both children are innocent and have no knowledge of this matter..."

She kept kowtowing to the catcher, her voice filled with pleading.

"Any punishment is my fault. It's all my own decision... Please, don't implicate my family..."

The detective sighed and winked at the two people behind him.

The two stepped forward and lifted the woman up from the ground.

Although the police officers felt sorry for her, they had to handle cases impartially.

No matter how pitiful she is, it is true that she wants to frame Sihai Penglai. Even if there is someone else behind the scenes, she can't escape the relationship.

The man stopped shouting a long time ago and sat on his knees on the ground blankly. After asking someone to take the woman down, the policeman enthusiastically handed the jade ring in his hand to everyone in the Cheng family.

"Several adults... take a look, how to deal with this?"

He smiled flatteringly.

Just now I heard an order from above to investigate the case and clear the world.

And it was Jing Zhao Yin'er who gave the order.

"What else can we do?" Cheng Yishen frowned, "Didn't I tell her to go to Xixiang Tower after she succeeds? Then go to Xixiang Tower."

After he finished speaking, he waved to Pei Shao and motioned for her to come over.

Pei Shao ran for two steps, thought for a while, then turned back and put the bag with chicken legs on his back, and then followed Cheng Yishen.

Cheng Yishen picked her up and shook her, muttering something in a low voice.

"Why haven't you been this heavy in a long time?"

Pei Shao cautiously covered the bag in her arms, fearing that Cheng Yishen would let her put it down.

The group of people moved toward Xixiang Tower in a mighty manner.

Xixiang Building is still bustling with people. There are a few maids and boys busy in the outer shop, but it is quite busy.

Seeing the jailer and the Cheng family, a maid stopped them with a frown and yelled, "What are you doing? Didn't you see the queue outside? Go and queue!"

"I'm from the Yamen——" Before the detective could finish his words, he was interrupted by the maid.

She looked confused: "What kind of people from the yamen? I'm telling you today, don't talk about people from the yamen! Even if the prince comes, he still has to queue up -!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone walked out from behind the crowd.

"You said I have to queue up even when I'm here?"

The visitor was none other than the prince.

He was wearing a white gown with a dark green jade pendant tied around his waist. Although his attire was simple, his temperament was extremely noble.

"I'm sorry, Mr. An." He said apologetically towards Cheng Yunchi: "I originally wanted to come over earlier to help deal with it, but something suddenly happened in the East Palace, so I came late."

In a blink of an eye, he saw Pei Shao in Cheng Yishen's arms. He stretched out his hand to tease her, but Pei Shao quietly dodged it and buried his head in Cheng Yishen's arms.

【what! Still want to touch me? ! dream! 】

Hearing her inner voice, Cheng Yishen held it in for a long time before he could hold back his laughter.

The shoulders of the Cheng family brothers were slightly hunched, and they looked like they were snickering.

The prince did not lose face, nor did he continue to ask for trouble. He glanced at Pei Shao calmly, with a trace of imperceptible viciousness flashing in his eyes, but the expression on his face was still a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. meaning.

The little maid's face changed. She knew in her heart that she had just said the wrong thing. She knelt on the ground in a panic and was trembling when she spoke.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, makes atonement! It's just...it's just that there are too many people in the shop today. Those who can't get in are all queuing up outside, and there are some who don't have the foresight to rush in directly... Servant, I just want to reprimand you. It's not intentional." It’s for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”
