Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

The people who were arrested were all rogues. Among the rogues, they were strict about their loyalty and loyalty. But that was an ordinary trivial matter, and now Tao Rui, who had been rumored by them, was standing in front of him, and an indifferent eye made them tremble. And that Master Qingtian, what they are most afraid of is going to court!

Someone took a chance and said: "Sir, the villain did not spread rumors, the villain just met the Tao family in the Xishan Village, and felt surprised, he mentioned it casually, not to spread gossip. The villain does not know how to spread it. Open, the villain is really wronged!"

Others quickly nodded, "Yes, my lord, that's it."

The adults in the hall frowned and shouted: "What nonsense! How many of you don't know each other, could it be that you also went to Xishan Village together?"

"This, this is because the Tao family came to the capital for the show, and the villain saw them on the street."

The adult's face was even more ugly. "Then how do you know that the family is from Xishan Village? Where did you see Mrs. Xuan Guo Gong?"

How many people can't come back, how can they get a chance to meet the noble lady? When people go out, they always call and hug, even if they see it from a distance, it is impossible to remember it so clearly. When you see someone, you are sure to be like her. It's a contradiction.

Tao Rui put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Master Wu, I believe you can see that these people are full of nonsense and lies.

It's not that I have to be fussy about it, it is really that if anyone under the root of this imperial city can spread rumors, the capital will not be in chaos? As far as I know, these people bullied the common people a lot, and asked Lord Wu to send someone to investigate, to arrest their family members and ask them, maybe they can find ill-gotten wealth from their homes. "

Master Wu said solemnly, "Wait, Prince Xuanguo, this official has sent someone to search for someone, and we will let the matter get to the bottom of it." ?"

Several people knelt down there, their hearts sinking continuously. Tao Rui and Lord Wu's words made them lose their luck. Tao Rui clearly knew Lord Wu. He often heard that officials were protecting each other. Tao Rui was the heir of the Duke's Mansion. How could Lord Wu not help him? Besides, it's true that they took money to talk nonsense, and it's Tao Rui who is in charge.

The most intelligent person closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and kowtowed, "There are indeed people in the Tao family in Shanxi Village. Whether it is a rumor or the truth, you will find out if you look at them."

"Okay." Tao Rui rushed in front of Master Wu and said, "Just ask the Tao family to confront him. Speaking of which, I have been to Xishan Village once, and I have rescued an old man who is similar to me, but so what? Big, is there any wonder? Based on this, I say that the Duke of Xuanguo has no eyes, can I mistake a girl for a boy?"

This is the most favorable point of rebuttal, and those people are speechless. Yes, as long as the delivery person is not blind, it is impossible to misunderstand men and women, not to mention that there are people who are waiting for the lady of the country, how can they be wrong?

Everyone who was watching outside nodded and discussed, not believing that Tao Rui was a fake son. In such a big mansion, how can you get the bloodline wrong? That's too unreliable.

Tao Rui successfully turned everyone's sympathy for the Duke's Mansion into doubts. Once the seeds of this kind of questioning were left, they would quickly take root and could not be uprooted. No one would feel that it was really miserable for Duke Xuan to raise a son for someone else. . If it is really wrong, it is that the imperial government is not strict.

Master Wu had a headache, so he sent someone to search the homes of those people, and also went to the Tao family in Xishan Village. When dealing with this kind of thing, the big family wants to keep a low profile and is not willing to be a chatter after dinner. He has to wait for the reply from the Duke Xuan Guo's office to know how to deal with it.

Soon Guogong Xuan sent someone. Xuan Guogong and his wife were very dissatisfied with Tao Rui's self-assertion. They arrested someone and went to court and told him to go back and wait for news.

But Tao Rui is a famous playboy, who has heard of it?

He asked for a chair to sit down, and said eloquently, "My lord has lived for seventeen years, and no one dares to arrange it on my head. This short half day is full of wind and rain, how much do the people behind me hate me? Pull out this **** and see who it is!

Lord Wu, please hurry up and give me justice. "

Xuan Guogong and his wife had no choice but to send a housekeeper to listen and pass news to them at any time. Tao Li also brought people to wait in the teahouse near the Yamen.

In her heart, although she wanted to tell the truth, she couldn't say it in court. How could she explain that her people held the wrong man and woman? But Tao Rui told those people that if he didn't take the opportunity to tell the truth, wouldn't Tao Rui break the rumor? There will be no chance to tell the truth in the future.

She had to stay close, in case something unexpected happened, and she had to come up with a surefire way.

Over there, Master Wu wanted to close the case as soon as possible, and his work efficiency was quite high. With so much money, these local ruffians might not be able to save in their lifetime, no wonder they worked so hard and refused to recruit anything.

But their family members were terrified when they were brought to court. This was a big psychological shock to them. Money was good, but they couldn't catch up with the whole family.

At this time, the Tao family in Xishan Village was also called. The old man was carried over by Tao Jin and Lizheng's son on the wooden board, and Lizheng also came along with them to strengthen his courage.

When Master Wu asked about the situation, Tao Jin immediately looked inexplicable, "Seeing us at the market? What day? My daughter is old and has not been to a fair for nearly a year. My daughter-in-law doesn't like to go to the market, and my father even It's been ten years since I entered the city gate. Isn't this nonsense?"

The old man Tao Wangcai also lifted his body on the wooden board and said, "Master Mingjian, the little man was in the water a few days ago, so he was so breathless, he was lying on the kang, how did they see me?"

The Tao family exposed the lies of the rumour-mongers as soon as they came, and the silver testified that Master Wu would punish them as soon as they shot gavel.

One of the younger ones couldn't stand it anymore. His daughter-in-law was still pregnant. At this time, his face turned pale with fright. In case of miscarriage, wouldn't he be punished for his sin? He sweated coldly and said: "Sir, I and the villain confessed their sins, it's none of my business, someone took the money and told me to say that, and the villain also sounded like it was real and didn't sound like a fake, so he was covered in lard. I have done this immoral thing. The villain and the villain are all for raising children with money, the villain knows his mistake, ask the adults to forgive his sins, the villain knows he is wrong!"

"Who gave you the money?"

"The villain doesn't recognize it, really doesn't recognize it."

Qingsong's sister shouted from the crowd, "I saw it, it's Yue'er, the servant girl of the Qin family in the east of the city!"

Lord Wu raised his head and asked, "Who is talking?"

Qingsong's younger sister had already lowered her head and changed her place. She obeyed her brother's instructions and was a little scared after shouting, but she soon found that no one recognized her, and everyone was looking around for the person who was shouting.

Master Wu asked who all got the money from a girl, and immediately asked someone to ask if there was a maid named Yue'er in the Qin family. So soon, Yue'er was invited again.

Now those few people know each other, they know that the situation is over, and it is impossible not to confess their guilt, so when they see Yue'er, they all point to her, just hoping that their crimes will be lighter. big.

Yue'er was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her face turned pale, and she muttered, "No, it's not me..."

Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, and Qingsong next to him immediately said angrily, "Aren't you in front of Miss Qin? What did Miss Qin ask you to do? Just because my eldest son wants to retire?"

Yue'er waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no..."

"What's not? How dare you say no? Where did your maid get one hundred taels of silver?" Qingsong pointed at Yue'er and scolded, "You know what your young lady has done, and it's my family's noble son and righteousness to let her pretend to be sick and leave the relatives. , she actually came to harm people?"

Hearing this inside story, everyone was stunned, ho, Tao Rui just said that he wanted to find out the offal, and this offal is the eldest Miss Qin?

She's a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, isn't her method too dirty? And what did she do? It must be a disgraceful thing to have to quit after being engaged for so many years, right?

The sound of everyone's discussion made Yue'er shiver. This is no longer something her maid can handle. She was about to faint in cold sweat. At this time, Mrs. Qin's confidant suddenly rushed forward and supported her, worried. Said: "Yue'er, are you alright?"

Then quickly whispered in her ear, "Think about your family's fate, and take care of it yourself."

Lord Wu shouted: "Wait for the idle people to step back!"

The two yamen immediately dragged the mammy out of the door, and the mama looked anxious, as if she really had a good relationship with Yue'er and was worried about her. But Yue'er was full of despair at this time. She was in the mansion just now. The masters didn't know why the officials took her and didn't tell her. Now they know that they wanted her to confess, but she still had no way to escape.

She hated Qin Ruo in her heart, but she still shivered and confessed her guilt.

"This matter... has nothing to do with my young lady, it has nothing to do with others, it was me and my servant who discovered the truth and found that Tao Rui was a fake son. I stole the money from the government and bought those people off…”

She lay on the ground and cried, "Sir! The slaves bought people and did something wrong, but the wrong thing is true, no matter how coincidental there are in the world, it will not be so coincidental.

That Tao Rui is a bitch. He is stubborn. If he wants to break off the marriage, he even throws dirty water on my lady's head. He privately threatens her with my lady's reputation many times. . I'm repaying my body with my own way! Please enlighten me, Tao Rui is the one who lies! "

Tao Jin and Xiu Niang were so angry that they almost yelled, why did she say that to Tao Rui? But when they looked up to meet Tao Rui's gaze, they found Tao Rui so calm, and they swallowed the words again. They don't know what's going on, but it's in court, they don't understand, so don't mess with it, so as not to hinder their son.

Yue'er became more fluent the more she spoke, she didn't want to sacrifice her own life, she just wanted to do things beautifully and give her family a good way to go. She knew that Madam would not break her promise. So she recalled the words Qin Ruo had complained privately over the years, and she took them as her own complaints, accusing Tao Rui of fighting and playing with things.

When she was talking about her excitement, Tao Rui laughed lightly, which startled her and made everyone stunned.

Tao Rui spread his hands in confusion and said, "This prince is so bad, why do you want to break up the engagement? The Qin family has pushed back three and four, and has yet to agree?"

Everyone burst into laughter, that is, why are you so disgusted with others, why don't you quit your relatives? For a maid to be so angry, 80% of the time it was the young lady who complained, right?

Tao Rui touched the green pine with the folding fan in his hand, "Go, go back to the house and tell my mother that I will ask someone to exchange the token for it today. Since the Qin family doesn't know what's good or bad and can't go down the stairs, then I'll quit my relatives by myself."

The face of the Qin family's mother at the door changed, and she said bravely: "Master Shi, you calm down. This matter has nothing to do with my young lady. I hope you don't take anger. If there is any misunderstanding, you should discuss it later."

Tao Rui said with a half-smiling smile, "My lord, I care about the face of the two families and didn't say anything dirty, but you Qin family are taking me for a fool because of this trouble? If I'm not the prince, who should be? Prince? Whose is this marriage?

Oh, but you said that this matter has nothing to do with Qin Ruo, then it has nothing to do. So let's treat her as lax. So useless as a woman. Qingsong, go and retire! "
