Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Qinzhou official?" Defang thought for a while, "Then why did this person say someone was going to kill him? Could it be you?"

The servant hurriedly said, "No, no, this person stole things at home, we just want to catch him back."

Defang looked at the arrested person and asked, "Is that so?"

"My lord, no, the villain just broke a vase of Mr. Shi, and Mr. Shi said he wanted my life."

"You're talking nonsense! My lord, don't believe him!" said the servant

"Okay!" Defang looked at several people angrily, "I want to meet Shi Bo in person, and lead the way!" After speaking, he sat back in the sedan chair, and Jia Jun asked soldiers to escort the three of them to Shi Bo's mansion.

Defang got off the sedan chair and saw that Shi Bo's mansion was very large and the front door was very imposing, so she frowned a little, thinking, that an official in Beijing actually has such a big mansion, so it's easy to know about accepting bribes in private.

Song Jiajun knocked on the door, the door opened, and two servants walked out, looked at Defang and the guards of the sedan chair team, knew that a high official was coming, and immediately said with a smile, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Jia Jun said, "His Royal Highness Eight Sage Kings has arrived, and Shi Bo is still not allowed to come to greet him."

"My lord!" The two servants looked at De Fang, then saw the three people being detained, and quickly knelt down, "My lord, my lord has not returned to the mansion yet."

"Oh? Well, my lord goes in and sit down first, and you immediately go and inform your master to come to see this lord right away." Defang walked in, and a servant rushed to report.

Defang walked into the courtyard of the mansion, and saw that the surrounding flowers and trees were very unique, and there were special personnel responsible for pruning them. A few servants in the distance were cleaning the yard, and some maidservants were busy back and forth in the corridor next to it. Defang wondered, what is going on in this mansion? With so many people, when he walked into the main hall, Defang saw a few ancient artifacts on the shelf, his eyes lit up, and with his knowledge of ancient artifacts, he immediately knew that the ancient artifacts were expensive. Seeing that the chairs are made of purple sandalwood, everything in the hall made Defang understand the life of this official in her heart, so she didn't say much, she sat on the chair, the maid hurriedly served tea, and Defang picked up the special I smelled the tea bowl, smelled it, the fragrance was elegant, took a sip, there was a hint of sweetness, slightly opened the tea cover, the water color was green, the tea buds were beautifully shaped, scattered like orchids, I didn't feel like I nodded.

At this time, two people, a man and a woman, walked in. Defang looked up at the two of them, and they saluted, "See you, my lord."

"Who are you?" Defang asked

"Back to the lord, the villain is Wang Chi, the steward of the mansion, and this is my wife, Mrs. Fei," said the official.

Defang stood up, "It turned out to be Mrs. Shi's wife"

"My lord" Shi Bo's wife saluted again, "I don't know if my lord is coming, but I am far away from welcoming you, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, the king also decided to come here because of some incidents on the way back home. Madam Fei, please sit down."

"Prince Xie" Defang and Shi Bo's wife were seated.

De Fang asked, "I take the liberty to ask, how long have Mrs. Fei and Mrs. Shi lived in Beijing?"

"Go back to the prince, the slave family and the master have been in Beijing for three years"

"Three years." Defang thought for a while, "Is this house owned by Lord Shi?"

"Go back to my lord, yes, my lord bought this house a year after he arrived in Beijing"

Defang listened, and thought to herself: I bought a big house within a year of arriving in Beijing, and I must have needed a lot of silver taels. Where did this Shi Bo get his money from? ?

Defang thought that it would be inappropriate to ask too many questions about a woman, so she asked, "Is Mrs. Fei from Qinzhou? Can I get used to it in Beijing?"
