"The courtier has met the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess Jin'an!"

"Grassmen refer to the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!"

"You two sisters-in-law don't need to be too polite." Stepping forward to gently support the two of them, Qingyun turned to face the crowd who were kneeling and saluting, with a kind and luxurious smile: "Get up, everyone. I think you are here Congratulations to the two sisters-in-law, on behalf of Prince Rui and King Xian, I would like to thank you all for your kindness, I want to choose gifts quietly with the two sisters-in-law, if you have nothing to do, let's all go away."

"Grass people leave." Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Although the Ninth Princess is kind and kind, if you know that their purpose for coming here is not pure, the consequences can be imagined.

Someone in the crowd asked suddenly: "Princess Nine, I heard that it was Miss Li from the Huguohou's Mansion who hijacked Miss Cai and Miss Xu to Heilongzhai, a bandit den, and ruined Miss Cai's appearance. Is it true? ?”

As soon as the words fell, the people who hadn't dispersed remained motionless in various postures as if they had been immobilized, not daring to take a breath.

For a while, there was complete silence inside and outside Jin Yu Zhai.

Helping the two sisters-in-law to sit down on the chair brought by the shopkeeper and the buddy, Qingyun glanced at all the people with their heads bowed, Qingyun still had a smile on her face, but there was a gleam of cold light in her eyes, It was so fast that people couldn't catch it: "Who just had a question and asked me to answer it?"

She specially arranged this play, the purpose is to see who will wait for the opportunity to make trouble?

"Ninth Princess, calm down... The villain also heard others say that...that's why I asked..." A middle-aged man with a simple and honest face in the crowd replied tremblingly, his whole body kept moving. Trembling, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead indiscriminately.

Although he didn't want to admit it, everyone around him heard that it was he who said that if Princess Jiu ordered the guards outside to extract a confession, he would also be caught out. Instead of waiting to be confessed by others, it is better for him to admit it voluntarily and save time. Sin plus one class.

He originally planned to use this to stir up a commotion among the crowd, so he could take the opportunity to sneak away, even if the Ninth Princess asks the crime, it has nothing to do with him.

Unexpectedly, the crowd not only didn't panic, they didn't even dare to vent their breath, and they didn't know what was going on. He suddenly felt weak all over, and couldn't slip away even if he wanted to.

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look at him, their eyes full of doubt and anger.

They only heard that the two future concubines were hijacked, but they didn't hear who was hijacked at all. How could he know that it was Miss Li from the Huguohou's Mansion who did it?

Moreover, the face of Princess Xian in the future is clearly intact, and there is no sign of disfigurement at all, so he is obviously talking nonsense.

What's even more hateful is that he dared to question Princess Nine.

It is true that the more curious they are, the faster they die, and they will no longer follow others.

"Heard from others?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows and looked at the pale middle-aged man, and asked calmly, "Who did you listen to, uncle?"

The voice was as soft as wind and as moist as water, but it was icy cold in the man's ears. He was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a plop, his lips trembling, and said, "Back to the ninth princess, the villain is drinking, and the wine shop overheard it. Heard it from people."

"Which restaurant did the uncle hear about it?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Say!"

"Fulai Restaurant in the east of the city." The man subconsciously blurted out.

"Come here, bring all the people from Fulai Restaurant!" Qingyun ordered in a cold voice, and then said to the man meaningfully: "Don't be afraid, uncle, I just want to find out who dares to spread rumors and slander The pure reputation of my concubine's wife."

The man trembled all over, and his heart was full of regrets, he would have known it earlier. . . . . .

Taking a sip of the hot tea from Zi Ke, Qing Yun looked at the trembling man and said casually, "Uncle is from the House of the Marquis of Huguo?"

"No, it's not." The man hurriedly shook his head.

He didn't dare to say that he was a member of the Marquis Huguo's mansion, otherwise the nine princesses would know that he was lying when he asked, and he would be punished with death.

"Is that a relative of the Huguohou Mansion?"

The man shook his head again.

"Does the uncle have relatives who work in the Huguohou Mansion?"

The man still shook his head, but his face gradually turned pale.

"As we all know, there is only one young lady in the Houguofu's mansion, and everyone calls her Miss Li." Qingyun's eyes were as deep as the sea, and his tone was cold: "And the uncle is neither from the Huguohou's mansion, nor Not a relative of the Marquis of the Huguo Mansion, let alone a relative working in the Marquis of the Huguo’s Mansion, how did he know that there was a Miss Li in the Marquis of the Huguo’s Mansion? How could it be clearly stated that Miss Li of the Marquis of the Huguo’s Mansion hijacked the two sister-in-laws? , and ruined Sister-in-Law's face?" Qingyun bit the word 'big' hard.

Everyone also reacted instantly.

Yes, wouldn't it be contradictory to say that, and they had never heard of such a Miss Li in the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion.

The man's lips moved but he couldn't speak, his whole body was shaking like a sieve.

Qingyun didn't seem to see him, she clasped her hand on the armrest lightly, like a heavy hammer hitting the man's heart, he felt that his heart was about to be shattered, heart-piercing The severe pain quickly spread to the whole body, and it gradually became difficult to breathe: "I don't know where the uncle lives? Is there anyone else at home?"

"Ninth Princess..." The man was so frightened, why did Ninth Princess suddenly ask about his family?Could it be. . . . . .

"Until now, uncle still refuses to tell the truth?" Qing Yun's raised brows contained a clearness: "You know, slandering the reputation of a member of the royal family is a heinous felony, and it will implicate the whole family! Even if uncle heard it, But the uncle not only did not stop him, but also waited for the opportunity to cause trouble, with bad intentions, he will be punished according to the law!"

"Unforgivable heinous crimes? Linked to the Nine Clans?" The man's face turned pale and bloodless in an instant, and he kept kowtowing for mercy: "Princess Nine, this matter has nothing to do with the villain's family. It was all done by the villain alone. Please forgive the villain." My family, the villain is willing to plead guilty and obey the law!" Soon, blood started to protrude from his forehead, but it didn't stop.

Qingyun raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "If you tell a half-word, not only will you die without a burial place, but your family will also die. You have to think it through before you speak."

"Yes, the villain understands." The man nodded and tremblingly said: "It was a masked man in black who gave the villain 100 taels of silver, and asked the villain to come here to say this, because the villain's son is sick and has no money to treat him. Then I became greedy, I didn't expect the matter to be so serious. What the villain said is the truth, I beg the ninth princess to spare her life!"

Everyone suddenly realized: it turned out that someone deliberately fabricated rumors to slander the two future princesses and implicate them, which is simply hateful and hateful.

"Grassmen see the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!" At this moment, the guards brought the shopkeeper and staff of Fulai Restaurant over.

Looking at the few people who were kneeling and saluting, Qingyun asked: "Do you know this person?"

Several people glanced sideways at the man beside him, and the middle-aged man in better clothes said respectfully: "Hui Jiu Gongzhu, I know him. He is Wang Erzhu from Wangjiazhuang in the west of the city. He delivers food to Caomin Restaurant every day." Nod yes.

"Have you ever seen him come into contact with a masked man in black today?"

One of the clerks thought for a while and nodded and said: "Back to the Ninth Princess, Caomin has seen it before. The restaurant was very busy at that time, so the shopkeeper asked Caomin to give Wang Erzhu the money for the vegetables. After giving the money, Caomin remembered that the shopkeeper said yesterday's dishes were not very fresh, so he went back. Tell Wang Erzhu to be more careful, otherwise the shopkeeper will not want his food, but I saw him talking to a masked man in black, and they both left after a while."

"Then can you tell if the masked man in black is a man or a woman? What about his body shape and voice?"

"It looks like a man." The clerk raised his head and looked back and forth among the people around him, and finally stopped on the shopkeeper of Jinyuzhai: "It's almost like that shopkeeper. As for the voice, Caomin was far away from the two of them, so he didn't hear it." .”

Wang Erzhu suddenly interjected: "The man's voice is hoarse and high-pitched, as if he is... an eunuch in the palace."

Eunuch?

Qing Yun's hand holding the teacup paused almost invisibly, and there was a bottomless abyss in his black pupils, which was cold and enchanting.

She knew who it was.

Waved to get the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper to stand up, Qingyun looked at the trembling Wang Erzhu, and said coldly: "Wang Erzhu, you should be punished for spreading rumors and causing troubles, and you should be punished and implicate the whole family. Forgive you this time, if there is another time, I will definitely punish you severely! Someone, drag him out and beat him fifty times, as an example to others!"

"The villain thanks the Ninth Princess for not killing her!"

The two guards immediately dragged Wang Erzhu out of the gate and threw them on the ground. Soon, the sound of wooden boards hitting the flesh and Wang Erzhu's wailing made everyone feel chills, and pedestrians on the street stopped to watch. , There was a lot of discussion.

Nine princesses are really benevolent, wise, just and strict.

And in the future, they will not dare to echo rumors without evidence. Wang Erzhu is a lesson learned from the past.

"Everyone is fine, let's go."

Everyone dispersed quickly as if they had received an amnesty order, and after a while, only Qingyun and a few people were left inside and outside Jinyuzhai.

Looking at the empty gate, Qingyun frowned slightly, just now she keenly felt two sinister lights coming across the crowd, could it be her illusion?

"Jiu'er, what's the matter?" Xu Kexin who was sitting on the right looked concerned.

"It's okay." With a dignified look on her face, Qingyun turned her eyes slightly, and inadvertently saw Lin Han standing by the gate, and couldn't help raising her brows: "Is the Second Young Master Lin here to see a good show? Or to give gifts to congratulate the two sisters-in-law who are about to grow up?" married?"

Lin Han walked in with a naughty smile on his face, bowed his hands and knelt down to salute. After receiving Qingyun's order, he got up and stood aside, his movements were as chic as clouds, but his expression was frivolous: "Then the nine princesses guess that the minister is here Watching a play? Or giving gifts?"

Slowly shaking the teacup in her hand, Qing Yun's brows were as clear as water: "Of course..."
