Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 155 Evil has evil retribution
With the magistrate speaking, the waiters were no longer in a daze, they stepped forward and dragged Lan Zhi off the shelf.

In fact, although it is said that there is a heavy responsibility, but the people who will be waiting here are all people from the restaurant and trick shop, so they dare not really do it, but Lan Zhi seems to be pulled into a panic.

He shouted at the top of his voice, "My lord, my lord, you can't do this to me—help me! My lord..."

At this time, how could Zhifu He speak up to help Lan Zhi, waved his sleeves, and scolded: "Pull it down, it's an eyesore! Just tie it under the court, and I will do it myself..."

Lan Zhi screamed, and she lost her previous gentle and weak appearance. She struggled and refused to be dragged down, and scolded sharply: "What a heartless man! I treat you so infatuatedly, how can you treat me like this?" I!"

As soon as she moved forward, she suddenly threw herself in front of Zheng Xuan, "Your Majesty, He Anshi is a corrupt official who perverts the law and commits all kinds of crimes. Even the daughters of the people were forcibly snatched by him. Please, Your Majesty, be the master of the people and deal with this evil man." Corrupt officials!"

Although there was still a cry in the voice, everyone in the hall could hear these words clearly.

Although they could hear clearly, everyone wished that they didn't have long ears at this time.It would be nice to have a good banquet, everyone drink and have fun, how did it become what it is now.

What did the magistrate's concubine say?say what?They didn't hear it!

It's a pity that the magistrate really doesn't know what these squires are thinking. When he heard Lan Zhi say that in public, he became anxious.

Pushing away the woman serving the wine, he staggered to his feet, pointed at Lan Zhi and shouted, "Nonsense! When did this officer take money and break the law? And when did he rob you? Obviously your boss gave you to me..."

He Zhifu also felt that something was wrong when he said a word.

You just said that you didn't accept bribes, so what happened to accepting a big living person?
Blinking and blinking, he shook his head, thinking that he might have drunk too much, and his head was a little numb, "Well, I mean, I fell in love with Lan Zhi at first sight, and his boss fell in love with me at first sight - the concubine was originally Wealth, friends have the meaning of making money..."

He was at a loss for words, but Lan Zhi sneered at this moment: "Although I, Lan Zhi, am not the most famous oiran in Jinan, I am also worth a lot of money. Ordinary people may not be able to kiss even if they are accompanied by Bai Huahua. Fangze. About half of the squires sitting here know what kind of person the boss of our Mingyue Building is. ..."

When she said this, many people nodded secretly.

Although he didn't want to say in public that he was very familiar with the boss, many of these men had been to Mingyue Pavilion, and the boss of the house was not just a money-seeker.

"My worth, at least 3000 taels of silver, He Anshi, if you weren't the magistrate, who would give you such a big gift?!"

Lan Zhi sneered, turned her eyes, pointed her finger, and said suddenly: "Mr. He gave you 100 taels of white money before, just to buy the barren hills outside Jinan Mansion at a low price. And , Mr. Song, is he the one who sent Aunt Xu at home? Ah, someone sued Mr. Li before, and it was you who took 200 taels of silver and patted your chest to keep Mr. Li..."

She pointed and said, those who were pointed at either changed their expressions or waved their hands repeatedly, and some of them stared at He Zhifu, their teeth itched with hatred in their hearts, why did the concubine at home know these things?
He Zhifu was also sweating.

When he was pampering Lan Zhi, he really didn't guard against her at all.Because Lan Zhineng can read and write poems, and he also took her to spend time in the study. At that time, it was the red sleeves that added fragrance and artistic conception, but now, when I think about it, I feel scary.

What the hell was this woman doing in his study?There are many things that he didn't say casually. Could it be that she was looking through his hidden accounts in his study? !

Feeling blocked in his heart, he suppressed his panic and scolded Lan Zhi for talking nonsense, he was simply crazy, "Your Majesty, I will drag this crazy woman away immediately, so that I can be punished..."

He stepped forward to drag people, but Lan Zhi suddenly yelled: "My son, I'm not talking nonsense. He Anshi told me before that he was able to become the magistrate of Jinan because of an incident he did when he was the magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. event……"

Hearing these words suddenly, Zhifu He immediately turned pale, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan squinted his eyes halfway, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Zhifu He with indifferent eyes, but he couldn't see anything.

Even, the corners of his mouth were raised suddenly, and he smiled slightly.

"He Zhifu, this is not your family, and what you concubine said is not your family affairs. I'm afraid I can't let you take it home like this—someone! Take this girl down, I have to ask you carefully." Just ask, what is it?"

"My lord," He Zhifu was also anxious, "My lord, you are not an official of the imperial court. I'm afraid that investigating cases like this is not in compliance with the rules."

"Rules?! How can the magistrate talk to me about the rules?" Zheng Xuan sneered, "Okay, let's talk about the rules, and take my post to invite the governor. If I can't ask, the governor can always ask... ..."

He Zhifu's face became even more ugly when he heard that he was going to invite the inspector. He opened his mouth and wanted to stop him a few times, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of everyone.

He could only watch Lan Zhi being taken down.

After such a commotion, everyone in the hall couldn't sit still, but Zheng Xuan, who sat at the top, was still as stable as Mount Tai, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the kneading of the beautiful woman beside him, and he didn't know if he was asleep or awake.

"He, Mr. He..." Mr. He, who had the same surname as the prefect of He, approached and greeted him in a low voice, but before he could finish his sentence, Zheng Xuan coughed lightly.

A cough made Mr. He crawl back to his seat. Looking up again, Zheng Xuan was still half asleep and didn't make a sound.

In the end, I was panicked. Although the singing and dancing were still going on, no one had the heart to listen or watch.

He Zhifu endured and endured, and still stepped forward to salute, "My lord, I have something to report to you."

Zheng Xuan raised his eyes, looked at Zhifu He, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Master He, if you have anything to say, let's wait for the Lord Inspector to come! It's against the law for me to intervene!"

"Your Majesty has nothing to do with it..." With a smile, He Zhifu said in a low voice: "My Son, please take a step to speak."

Zheng Xuan smiled, and really gave He Zhifu this face, turned to the back, and waited for He Zhifu to speak.

Swallowing his saliva, the voice of He Zhifu was a little hoarse: "Your servant, I have always belonged to the crown prince——I think the son of the prince should know a thing or two about the Songjiang mansion that the crazy woman said. Then It’s the prince’s metaphor passed down by the adults..."

"Oh, His Royal Highness's word of mouth?" Zheng Xuan smiled, and asked lightly: "So, everything you do is in accordance with His Highness's intention?"

"Yes, I would like to follow the crown prince's lead." Changing his name directly, He Zhifu bowed his body with a humble face, but he didn't know that his attitude was even more annoying.

"Okay, I've heard what you said, and I don't have anything else to say when I come to Prefect He! Since that's the case, Prefect He should step back!"

Zheng Xuan waved his hand and dismissed He Zhifu.

Seeing that Zheng Xuan had closed his eyes and was unwilling to speak any more, Zhifu He had no choice but to back down no matter how unwilling he was.

Not long after He Zhifu retreated, the man in black came in quietly, "My lord, my subordinates have already been interrogating her severely. That woman really doesn't know what happened, but only knows that He Zhifu killed a good person in vain for the sake of his future. I don't know what to say. I don't know about letters..."

"Well, she doesn't know, and she can't explain clearly, but someone said it clearly." Zheng Xuan opened his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Master He just said in front of me that it was the prince's metaphor. !"

Although judging by He Zhifu's expression, he probably didn't know that he was the real culprit, but if people knew that Gu Liubai was wronged, and it was the crown prince's mouthpiece, it would be a bad thing.

The He family and his wife are really abhorrent.At the beginning, Mrs. He was talking nonsense with others, forcing him to be cleaned up as an actor, but now, this prefect He is talking nonsense with the concubine.

"Sure enough, the only one who can keep a secret is the dead." Zheng Xuan whispered.

The man in black bowed his head and said, "Young one, go and deal with the surname He immediately."

"Hey, Xiaoqi, don't talk nonsense! Is it possible for you and me to hurt the court's official?"

Zheng Xuan frowned, but then said calmly: "If you are an official of the imperial court, if you can't benefit the local area and ask for orders for the people, then this official will be finished..."

Xiaoqi, the man in black, blinked. Although he didn't speak, he understood what Zheng Xuan meant.

After waiting for a long time, Zheng Xuan did not return to the banquet.Instead, let everyone say that the son is tired and go back to the other courtyard to rest first.

He Zhifu was panicked, and when he heard the news, he got up and walked out.

Several squires also hurriedly followed, thinking they wanted to discuss what happened with Zhifu He.

Gu Sixiao took a few steps forward to meet Su Jingchun who was being supported by Su Zhu. Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes were still blurred, he couldn't help panicking.

"But suck that..." She didn't dare to say any more, she supported Su Jingchun's other side, only to feel that her hand was caught by Su Jingchun.

He gripped so tightly that it hurt a little.

"Go to the tea house!" Su Jingchun drank in a low voice, a trace of clarity appeared in his eyes, but then his eyes became blurred again.

Helping Su Jingchun to get into the car in a hurry, Gu Sixiao glanced out of the corner of his eyes and vaguely saw a familiar figure.

It's Samui!
"Don't worry about him, he has his own mission." Su Zhu also saw it, but didn't stop at all.

Gu Sixiao was a little worried, raised the curtain and looked back, only to see a carriage driving out from behind the dark alleys of those restaurants.I don't know who is sitting there, the windows are tightly closed.

Looking at it from a distance, the car drove up to a small bridge not far away, but the horse pulling the cart was suddenly frightened, the coachman was pulling the horse in a hurry, when a woman in disheveled clothes rushed out of the car, before Gu Si Xiao saw clearly who it was, the woman was in a panic and fell headlong into the river.

Shouting out in shock, Gu Sixiao hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered the curtains.

that woman? !The figure looks a little familiar, could it be—— Lan Zhi? !
After being taken down by Zheng Xuan's people just now, no one has been seen.

Appeared suddenly, but actually threw himself into the river, could it be that Zheng Xuan murdered him? !
