Chapter 258

Jiang Ye appeased the Wang family, and said to Jiang Qixi: "Father, you don't need to tie me up this time. I will go to Shuntian Mansion by myself. If I haven't done it, I haven't done it. I'm going to argue with those culprits and return the Jiang family's reputation!"

The current Yin Luji of Shuntian Mansion is selfless, Jiang Ye is not afraid to make it clear in court.

Jiang Qixi nodded, and ordered the housekeeper, "Open the door, the Jiang family is not timid!"

The servants fetched clean robes for Jiang Ye to change into. He bowed to Jiang Qixi, then to Jiang Nian, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the gate.

Jiang Qixi summoned all the servants who had just been taken to the building outside the building, and they also went to the Shuntian government office together.

Ning Yuezhao had just been watching without making a sound. At this time, she stood beside Jiang Nian, "Jiang Ye's appearance is not in vain for your hard work. Let's go to Shuntian Mansion to have a look."

Jiang Nian gently held her hand, "It's not appropriate for you and me to walk over there, it's better to just listen behind the lobby as usual."

He believed in his younger brother, and he didn't need anyone to take action on this matter, he could settle it by himself.

Besides, in the lobby of the Shuntian Mansion here, before Lu Ji had time to send Qingchi to the Yan Mansion, the Fu Cheng sent someone to intercept him, saying that someone had come to Shuntian Mansion to beat drums to complain about grievances, and the matter involved the third son of the Jiang family Jiang Ye.

Lu Ji had heard of Jiang Ye's name, he was a wealthy son who was similar to him before, but he was too much more than himself, couldn't read, and even molested women.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooibleofofsofs-best of a woman's daughter!"

The woman kneeling in the hall hugged her daughter, and the two cried out for grievances while hugging each other.

"The third son of the Jiang family brought it!"

When the people watching outside the Yamen saw the accused person approaching, they gave way one after another.

Jiang Ye's face was calm, and he calmly dealt with everyone's pointing and pointing, which did not match the image of the arrogant and dandy in the public's impression.

"Grassmen see Mr. Fu Yin!"

Jiang Ye lifted his robe and knelt down on the kneeling stone with a calm face.

When the woman saw Jiang Ye, she cried even louder. She rushed over and grabbed Jiang Ye's sleeve and cursed: "You black-hearted person! My good girl was tricked by you to be ruined by others. You are the son of Shoufu, you can't force someone into prostitution like this!"

The woman cried fiercely, and the pretty young woman beside her couldn't help crying too. The sympathy of the people was aroused again, and the eyes they looked at Jiang Ye became unkind.

"The third son had a previous record of molesting women, and now he's making a comeback."

"What a beast. I wanted to get my hands on Mr. Xu Ge's daughter before, but now I even want to get my hands on my classmates!"

"Hmph, this time he has stepped up and forced girls from good families to make a living by selling jokes to make money!"

"Silence!" Lu Ji slapped the gavel and looked at Jiang Ye, "The mother and daughter of the Liu family accused you of tricking her daughter Liu Chan into making tea for others to drink in the name of recruiting tea girls. My prostitute, is there such a thing?"

These distorted words fell into Jiang Ye's ears. He slowly tightened his hand hanging by his side, and looked up at Lu Ji, "Master Lu, what the mother and daughter of the Liu family pointed out is not the truth. Caomin's restaurant is in the The ones that have been registered by the government are doing normal business, not brothels, and adults can verify this."

Lu Ji nodded, "I have reviewed the information, and it is true."

The crying Liu Chan said, "My lord, who doesn't know that the third son of Jiang is the younger brother of the emperor's husband. He also told the girls that it was an ordinary restaurant. As long as he performed tea distribution for the guests in the private room, it would be fine." It's alright, those guests won't do anything wrong. The hill where the restaurant is located is the property of His Royal Highness. Even if someone is dishonest, the guards in the restaurant will protect the safety of the women, so the women will go Already. Who knows..."

Having said that, Liu Chan was already sobbing.

She deliberately pointed out Jiang Nian, making people think that this is the emperor's husband conniving at his younger brother's misconduct in the imperial capital.

Lu Ji heard her intention at once, patted the gavel with a cold face and asked: "Who knows what, keep talking!"

Liu Chan remained silent and said: "Minnv entered the designated private room according to the order of Third Young Master Jiang, and saw the four guests looking at Minnv lewdly, and said indecent words... Minnv At that time, I was a little timid, but the door of the private room was closed, and they clamored for the Minnv to perform, and the Minnv had to come from... When the Minnv handed them the tea, one of them grabbed the Minnv Without letting go, the other three guests also gathered around, together...to belittle the women!"

After speaking, Liu Chan threw herself into her mother's arms again and cried bitterly.

Mother Liu scolded: "What kind of restaurant sounds good, but it's actually selling dog meat, tricking a daughter from a good family like my daughter to play with those dudes, my poor daughter! She's only 15 years old!"

"How did Shoufu teach his son? How could he do such a crazy thing?"

"Do you think that the mastermind behind this restaurant is the emperor's husband? It is said that the emperor is in business and has earned a large sum of money to pay for His Majesty's military expenses. Is this how the money came from?"

"Let's just say that the Jiang family is just a scholarly family. Why didn't you even bat an eye when the imperial husband took out such a large sum of money when he was restored? It turned out to be all ill-gotten gains!"

Ning Yuezhao, who was in the back hall of the lobby, heard basin after basin of dirty water being poured on Jiang Nian, and slapped the back of the chair fiercely, "These people, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The corners of Jiang Nian's lips curled up, and he stretched out his hand to hold her catkin tightly clutching the armrest, and said with a smile, "Have we not heard enough of these rumors?"

There were a few voices in the crowd that were particularly prominent, clearly deliberately inciting public opinion.

Lu Ji has been the governor of Shuntian Prefecture for some time, and he has some understanding of the attitude of the people watching. They don't know the truth, and they tend to listen to the wind and the rain.

"Crack!" Lu Ji patted the gavel again, "Liu Chan, you were underestimated by those gangsters, how did you escape later?"

Liu Chan was sobbing in her mother's arms, choked up and said: "Someone kicked open the door of the private room, those guests were in front of others, so they didn't continue to do that beast..."

"What is the attitude of the third son when he saw the incident?"

Don't look at Liu Chan crying pear blossoms with rain, but her words are tight.

"He...he..." Liu Chan glanced at Jiang Ye in horror, then threw herself into her mother's arms and cried again.

Lu Ji said with a sullen face, "I'm asking, what do you mean!"

Mother Liu protected her daughter, and said to Lu Ji, "My lord, the daughter of the civilian woman has been frightened quite a bit. Are you trying to force her to death by asking her so hard?"

The mother and daughter are excellent in singing and writing, and Lu Ji's questioning of the truth has become persecution.

Jiang Ye said: "Miss Liu, you were not the only one I found in the academy at that time. I signed a contract with you all, which stated that I was only a tea lady, and performed tea distribution for guests. According to the number of performances per day, one The salary is paid once a month. If Jiang really intends to lie to you, why should he write a contract to you?"

Liu Chan was still crying, and Liu glared at him, "If you hadn't said to write the contract, how could my daughter believe you? You rich and powerful sons, the contract is not for you to destroy it as you want. What do we ordinary people have? Method."

Jiang Ye continued: "The people who kicked open the private rooms are the guards of the building outside my building. They will go to save your daughter, which shows that I did not condone the guests to do such a thing."

Liu Chanhong pointed at Jiang Ye, "That's because Mr. Jiang Ge came, so you had to act like nothing to do with you. Mr. Jiang went into the building outside the building and scolded you for doing something worse than a beast. Even him You are still quibbling about things you have already confirmed!"

Jiang Ye was short-tempered in his heart, but remained calm on the face, "If that's the case, then let father confront."

At this moment, someone shouted——

"Jiang Shoufu is here!"

Jiang Qixi stepped into the hall with a sullen face. He has held a high position all year round. The majesty shown by his gestures made the people in the hall dare not speak out for a while.

"Old Jiang Ge!"

Lu Ji got up quickly, and walked out from behind the case to salute.

Everyone in the hall knelt together, "Master Shoufu!"

Jiang Qixi waved his hands, "Get up, everyone."

Everyone stood up, and Lu Ji returned to his seat.

Photographed by Jiang Qixi's aura, those who talked about Shoufu's incompetence in teaching his son just now sweated secretly. This Lord Shoufu is full of righteousness, with an upright face, and he didn't protect his son in the lobby. How do you look at it? It's not like someone who can't discipline his son.Looking at the third young master Jiang who was accused, he also dealt with it calmly, neither quarreled nor disturbed, and he didn't look like a person who would do such a beast.

Lu Ji asked someone to bring a chair to Jiang Qixi, but Jiang Qixi shook his hands and refused, standing upright like a loose body.

"I came to Shuntian Mansion this time because the dog was involved in a prostitution case. I just happened to be there. I have to say something clearly."

Liu Chan, who was still crying in her mother's arms, looked up at Jiang Qixi, and quickly lowered her head again.

Lu Ji said: "Mr. Jiang Ge, Miss Liu claimed that you knew exactly what the third young master did. Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Qixi sneered, "My son, I naturally understand. When the Japanese official went down to court today, a colleague told me that Brother Ye was actually forcing a good girl to act as a joke under the guise of opening a restaurant outside." Something happened. When I arrived at the restaurant, I happened to see the guards in the building kicking open the door, and the poor Miss Liu was pushed down on the table by several guests. I don't know the cause and effect. I just saw this scene and thought Brother Ye Er really did something like forcing a good man into prostitution, so he was reprimanded on the spot and asked his family to take him back to the mansion to teach him a lesson. As for Miss Liu, I also sent someone to send her home."

Jiang Ye changed his clothes now, but the five fingerprints on his face were still there, which just confirmed Jiang Qixi's words.

Mother Liu put her arms around her daughter and said sadly: "Master Shoufu loves his son very much. If you say that, the women don't dare to make excuses."

Jiang Qixi glanced at her, and said in a stern voice: "I was originally planning to come to Shuntian Mansion with Gouzi, but I thought that the matter had a great relationship with those few guests, so I went to find those people with my servants first." , now outside the hall."

Lu Ji said: "Bring those guests here!"

Soon, the yamen servants escorted four men up. They were clearly dressed, but they all looked drunk.These few people were all sensuality addicts, and now they were suddenly taken to court, all of them bent over like shrimps.

Lu Ji patted the gavel, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you molesting women outside the building?"

Seeing Lu Ji's serious face, several people were trembling, you push me, I push you back, one of them said submissively: "My lord, we heard that there is an outer building in the suburbs, where young and fresh girls can play, We really didn’t know that this woman was from a good family, so we thought it was a prostitute! We definitely didn’t mean to moles a woman from a good family!”
