Chapter 111

"My lord Qian, this is at the feet of the emperor. You not only condone the prince's robbing of the daughters of the people, but you also ignore the king's law and the emperor. My palace cut off his hands and feet, which is already an exception. If you report this matter to the emperor, let alone him Not only will you be skinned and cramped, even you, Mr. Qian, will not escape the responsibility!"

From the words of the common people, Hua Mujin had already guessed that this young master Qian probably robbed many girls.

The reason why she pretended to be arrested was because she had someone inquire about Mr. Qian's whereabouts, and she happened to be in the mansion at this time. Since she wanted to eliminate harm for the people, she had to be convicted of the crime.

Staring at Hua Mujin resentfully, Mr. Qian seemed a little nervous.

A pair of eyes subconsciously glanced to the far left.

"Your Majesty, there is no proof, how can I say that I connive at dogs and rob people's daughters? Forgive me for not admitting to this crime."

Master Qian's subconscious glance towards the distance did not escape Hua Mujin's eyes.

She hooked her lips and sneered.

"Really? Nan Ge, give me a careful search of the Qian Mansion inside and out!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Nan Ge walking to the left, Mr. Qian panicked for a moment.

"No, you can't search!"

Hua Mujin slowly narrowed her eyes.

Shangguan Yi chuckled lightly, his eyes also narrowed, "Since you have not pleaded guilty, why are you so flustered, Mr. Qian?"

"General Shangguan is really good at joking. When did the lower officials panic? It's just that the lower officials feel that no matter how noble the empress status is, the lower officials are still officials ordered by the court. Isn't it too much to search the lower official's mansion without order or purpose?" more?"

Mr. Qian tried his best to show himself not so guilty, but when his eyes met Shangguan Yi's, he still dodged a little unnaturally.

"No orders and no purpose? According to Master Qian, does it mean that Concubine Xi is not qualified to search Qian's mansion?"

"This, I have no such intention..."

Forced to have nothing to say by Shangguan Yi, Mr. Qian lowered his head, but from the corner of his eye he kept looking at the place where Nan Ge left.

Not wanting to pay any more attention to Mr. Qian, Hua Mujin sat on the chair, took a cold look at Young Master Qian who had passed out due to excessive blood loss, and when she turned her head again, she saw Nan Ge leading a few women coming over.

He stepped forward and stood beside Hua Hibiscus respectfully.

"Your Majesty, these women were found by my subordinates in a secret prison."

Hua Mujin looked at the women who were brought out, frowned slightly, and anger rose in her heart.

"Master Qian, is this what you call unsubstantiated? Your not guilty plea!"

Four women were brought out by Nan Ge. They were dressed in tattered clothes, skinny, and each of them had some bruises from being beaten. When they saw Mr. Qian and the fainted Young Master Qian At that time, the body trembled with fear.

"Here, these women are..."

Looking at the woman brought out, Mr. Qian was flustered and looked for excuses.

Suddenly, he knelt down on the ground.

"I want to report to your lord, these women were maidservants of Qian's mansion. Because they stole items from the mansion, they were punished by family law and locked up in a secret prison. Please ask your lord to investigate clearly."

Hua Hibiscus had no choice but to praise this so-called Mr. Qian, and the excuse he found out of desperation was quite reasonable.

"Really? But you alone may not be enough to believe it, right? Why don't we first listen to these so-called maids in your mouth, what do you say?"

Turning around, Hua Mujin looked at the four women brought out by Nan Ge, and called, "Come here."

"Your Majesty, here, they are maidservants who have made mistakes, and they will definitely not tell the truth. If they are wronged..."

"To shut up!"

Mr. Qian just opened his mouth without saying a few words, when Hua Mujin scolded him angrily.

The four women were terrified and looked at each other, then walked towards Hua Mujin and knelt down in front of Hua Mujin.

Hua Hibiscus didn't intend to make them kneel, but since they had already kneeled, she didn't stop them.

"You guys, tell me honestly, why are you in this Qianfu, and why are you..."

As he said that, Hua Mujin looked at the scars exposed by the tattered clothes of the four people, paused for a moment, and continued to ask, "Why are you locked in the secret prison of the Qian Mansion like this? Tell me, I will help you You decide."

"You, are you the empress of the palace?"

Among them, a woman in a light green dress, with her hands tightly twisted, was extremely restrained from panic, and looked at Hua Hibiscus steadfastly.

Hua Mujin nodded, "Yes."

For a moment, joy appeared in the eyes of the woman in green.

Looking at the other three women kneeling beside her, she kowtowed heavily to Hua Mujin.

"My lady, Minnv, Minnv Xiang'er, originally the daughter of the owner of the tailor shop in the east of the city, three months ago, Young Master Qian came to the shop, saw Minnv, and desperately wanted to marry Minnv as his concubine, Minnv refused, Young Master Qian then ordered someone to beat him to death, oh..."

As she spoke, Xiang'er's choked up sound became more and more uncontrollable.

Hua Mujin endured the anger in her heart, and tightly held the handle of the chair.

"go on."

"Mother, Young Master Qian not only ordered people to burn Minnv's shop, but also killed Minnv's parents, and then forcibly brought Minnv to Qian's mansion, and insulted Minnv..."

Xiang'er's tears burst out.

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to be the master of the people's daughters, please beg your Majesty to be the master of the people's daughters."

Looking at Xiang'er who kept kowtowing her head, Hua Hibiscus looked coldly at Master Qian who bowed her head.

"Your Majesty, the Minnv Luo Lan, half a year ago, the Minnv came to the Imperial City to buy things, but was unexpectedly followed by Young Master Qian and knocked the Minnen unconscious, and when the Minnv woke up, she was in the secret prison of the Qian Mansion. Your Majesty, I beg your mother to save Minnv, Minnv wants to go home..."

No need to guess, what happened to the next two women was the same.

Looking at Lord Qian coldly, Hua Mujin's face was full of anger at this moment.

"Master Qian, what else do you have to say!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mr. Qian hesitated, but he was still looking for a reason.

"Your Majesty, they, they are talking nonsense, they must have colluded and wanted to use you to leave the Qian Mansion, and that's why they slandered the humble officials. Please, please, please, please clarify and investigate clearly."

Hua Hibiscus knows what it means to not die until the Yellow River.

Glancing at the kneeling servants, Hua Mujin's mouth twitched into a sneer.

"Lord Qian, tell me, what's going on today that Young Master Qian brought all the servants in Qian's house to kidnap Bengong? Could it be that Bengong is also slandering you!"

Lord Qian's body trembled.

"No, I dare not..."

"The evidence is convincing, you still dare to argue with me, I see that you won't cry without seeing the coffin!"

After glancing at Master Qian coldly, Hua Mujin turned to look at Shangguan Yi.

"General Shangguan, report this matter to the emperor, and send people to surround the entire Qian Mansion. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who violates the order will be executed on the spot!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Hua Mujin's words made all the servants feel terrified, but they didn't dare to speak out.

After all, they are the ones who help the evildoers.

As for Mr. Qian, when Hua Mujin gave the order to report the matter to the emperor, he was already so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"Nango, find some clean clothes for them to change into, and send them back to their homes."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Mother, Minnv, Minnv has no home."

Seeing that Hua Mujin wanted to send them home, Xiang'er burst into tears.

Hua Mujin pursed her lips, feeling very uncomfortable.

"You go down and change your clothes first, I will arrange for you, go."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

The palace, the imperial study.

"Master, General Shangguan sent a secret letter."

"Bring it."

Behind the desk, Bai Zhanke put down the memorial in his hand and took the letter from Luo Chen.

After reading the letter, the man's face was already darkened.

"Zhang Quande!"

Following Bai Zhanke's voice, the door of the imperial study was pushed open.

Zhang Quande walked in respectfully, glanced at Luo Chen, lowered his head, "The servant is here."

"Pass down my will, Qian Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, corrupted and accepted bribes, connived at the evil sons and robbed the women of the people, the crime is unforgivable, the whole family of Qian's family will be copied and beheaded!"

"Yes, the slave will deliver the decree."

Although he didn't know why Bai Zhanke suddenly ordered to raid Qian's house all over his family, Zhang Quande didn't dare to ask, so he had to obey.

On the side, Luochen glanced at the contents of the secret letter, and swallowed.

He also understood that why his master had such a murderous intent, it turned out to be because of Concubine Xi.

"Luchen, prepare your horse."

Seeing Bai Zhanke get up, Luochen was surprised, looked at the memorial that was put aside, and shook his head helplessly.

"Yes."

On the other side, the silk shop in the city.

Shangguan Yi walked around the store, looked at Hua Hibiscus with a slight smile, and coughed lightly, "Hey, I just want to ask, what is your relationship with this silk store?"

Glaring at Shangguan Yi, Hua Mujin didn't intend to answer him.

"I'll talk about it later. I'm discussing things with the boss. Don't interrupt."

"..."

At this time, the shop owner looked Shangguan Yi up and down, always feeling very familiar, but couldn't tell where he had seen him.

After looking at it for a long time, the shop owner suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

"You, you are, General Shangguan, right?"

Raising his eyebrows, Shangguan Yi nodded.

"It's the general!"

The shop was closed at this time, except for the shop owner, only Hua Mujin and the others were left.

Therefore, Shangguan Yi also felt that since he was recognized, there was no need to hide it.

"Caomin, Caomin kowtow..."

"Come on, outside, he is not a general, so don't rush to kowtow to him, and deal with what I told you first."

Seeing that the shop owner was about to kneel down to Shangguan Yi, Hua Mujin stopped him immediately.

"This……"

The shop owner looked at Hua Mujin and then at Shangguan Yi, his face a little embarrassed.

"You listen to her and deal with your affairs first. You have the right to pretend that you haven't met this general."

Deep down in his heart, Shangguan Yi had a little more affection for Hua Mujin.
