Chapter 28: Refusal to acknowledge the account

When the shopkeeper of Zhenbao Pavilion saw that Lianzhi came out of Qiande's pawnshop, he probably guessed in his heart what Lianzhi had pawned.

He thought about it and finally said nothing.

Before leaving, Lianzhi looked back at Zhenbao Pavilion, and Su Qing asked, "Princess, what are you looking at?"

"I just thought that people in this world are cold and no one has the responsibility to care about other people's affairs." Lian Zhi turned around and walked forward, "Let's go. Gu Shiqi should come to us with silver. Let's go to have dinner first, I'm hungry."

Su Qing was completely confused about Lian Zhi's behavior. Lian Zhi seemed to be just for eating and drinking today, but isn't the most important thing now to investigate the case?

In the afternoon, Lianzhi took 100 taels of silver from Gu Shiqi: "I'll go and redeem the jade pendant, you'll wait for me here."

Lianzhi took Su Qing away, and Gu Shiqi was alone. He was about to find a teahouse to have tea, but after just a few steps, several people rushed out from behind and directly covered his mouth and dragged Gu Shiqi into the alley next to him...

Lianzhi and Suqing walked into Qiande's pawn shop, and the guy naturally recognized Lianzhi: "Girl, are you here so fast?"

Lianzhi handed the silver notes and receipts to the servant: "I'll redeem the jade pendant."

"Okay, wait a moment." The guy walked into the inner room, and soon came in and took a small box and walked out, "This is your jade pendant."

Lian Zhi took the box and opened it to see it. His face changed: "Did you take it wrong? This is not my jade pendant." Now the one placed in the box is just an ordinary jade pendant.

The guy smiled slightly and said nothing: "How could you be wrong? It's this jade pendant."

Lian Zhi threw the jade pendant directly on the table: "What I mortgaged is a lotus-shaped jade pendant, not this jade pendant at all."

"Miss, I see you are young, but I didn't expect to come to my Qiande pawnshop to cheat. At that time, our shopkeeper also felt sorry for you and gave you more money. Otherwise, how could this jade pendant be mortgaged to 100 taels?"

Lian Zhi looked at the guy: "It turns out that the shop is bullying customers. Although I am a woman, I will never let you bully you."

"We are bullying you? I tell you, either you just roll back with the silver bill, or you just roll back with the jade pendant, and it depends on how you choose."

Seeing that guy was so crazy, Su Qing couldn't bear it anymore: "My lady won't be holding a jade pendant to fool you. If you take it wrong, you will get it wrong. You can return my lady's jade pendant quickly."

"Go back? What are you going to go back?" the guy asked, "It's this jade pendant, do you want it?"

"What happened?" Old Zhang walked out of it. When he saw Lian Zhi, he still asked kindly, "Girl, are you here to redeem the jade pendant?"

Lianzhi spoke: "I am here to redeem the jade pendant, but the jade pendant this guy gave me is not my one at all. I hope you can return my jade pendant to me."

Old Zhang looked at the jade pendant placed on the table: "Isn't this jade pendant yours? What other jade pendant do you want?"

Lian Zhi laughed furiously: "It's just time that you turned against me. Where is my lotus jade pendant? If you don't return it to me, don't blame me for reporting to the official."

"Report to the official?" Old Zhang snorted coldly, "If you have the ability, go."

Lianzhi pulled Su Qing out: "You guys wait for me."

Old Zhang watched Lian Zhi and Su Qing leave and smiled contemptuously: "Even Lord Cheng, he would not dare to touch Qian De's pawn shop!"

Cheng Mingdong felt that his luck was really bad recently. Last time, Wang Li died in Hexianju, he involved two princesses. In the court, the emperor brought the prince and the fifth prince to appear. Cheng Mingdong was almost scared to death at that time, but fortunately this matter did not have anything to do with him.

But just two days after his heart was relieved, he saw Princess Dongxia again. Lianzhi was actually here to report to the officials. Looking at Lianzhi's angry look, Cheng Mingdong asked: "Princess, who has provoked you? If you don't check Wang Li's affairs now, why are you still free to come to Xiaguan?"

"I did not come here as a princess today, but as a victim, I hope Lord Cheng will give me justice." Lianzhi spoke.

Cheng Mingdong couldn't help but have a headache: "What happened?"

"It's about Qiande's pawn shop, I hope Lord Cheng will handle it impartially!"

When Cheng Mingdong heard that he was involved in Qian De’s pawn shop, he had a headache. Why did this princess get into trouble with the Wang family?

"Princess might as well tell me what happened. Such things don't have to be in court."

"I am just a victim now and come to find justice. If Lord Cheng can't do it, then I can only ask Emperor Chu to give this princess justice as Princess Dongxia. From this perspective, Lord Cheng is considered to be unfavorable, right?"

Cheng Mingdong heard Lianzhi's threat and felt a chill on his back: "The official understands, I will immediately post a question from Qiande's pawnshop manager. Don't worry."

"The identity of this princess is not allowed."

"yes."

Cheng Mingdong only thought Lian Zhi was angry, so he deliberately wanted to embarrass Qian De's pawnshop, so he asked someone to tell him that Qian De's pawnshop's shopkeeper and his friend came to ask questions.

When Mr. Zhang and his servant came, Lian Zhi stood on the side of the court, and Cheng Mingdong looked at Mr. Zhang and his servant with a majestic look.

"Caomin has met Lord Jingzhao Yin!" Old Zhang and his friend knelt down and bowed.

Cheng Mingdong asked, "This Miss Lin seems to have some quarrels with you Qian De's pawn shop. Why don't you tell me what's going on?"

No matter how Cheng Mingdong asked, Lian Zhi refused to reveal the truth, so he asked Mr. Zhang and his friend directly.

The guy said, "Mr. Cheng, this girl Lin came to our pawnshop in the morning to mortgage a jade pendant. That jade pendant was not worth much. When my shopkeeper saw that it was not easy for her, she gave her more silver, which was a full hundred taels. She came to redeem the jade pendant in the afternoon, but it was not said that the mortgage was not this jade pendant, but a better jade pendant. This girl was just to cheat us Qiande pawnshop. Who would mortgage her in the morning and redeem it in the afternoon?"

Cheng Mingdong glanced at Lian Zhi standing aside and complained in his heart: "There is really such a person."

"Where is the shopkeeper Zhang?" Cheng Mingdong asked.

Mr. Zhang replied: "Caomin worked in a pawn shop all his life. He knew that some people came to pawn for life, so he didn't mind giving more in terms of price. But he didn't expect that this girl would trample on Caomin's kindness, and insisted that Caomin exchanged her jade pendant. Qiande pawn shop has been in Chujing for so many years, so doesn't even have this credibility?"

Cheng Mingdong nodded: "Qiande pawnshop is also a century-old brand in Chujing. He will not do such a bad thing for a jade pendant. Does Miss Lin have any hidden secrets?"

Lianzhi took a step forward: "Sir, the little girl has just arrived in Xichu for a while. I don't know what a century-old brand or a newly opened pawnshop. I only know that in business, honesty should be the basis. These two people are clearly talking nonsense, they have replaced the pillars and cheated away my jade pendant."

The guy presented the jade pendant: "Mr. Cheng, this jade pendant is the jade pendant that this girl mortgaged in our Qiande pawnshop."

Cheng Mingdong looked at Lianzhi: "Isn't this jade pendant?"

"As the Lord saw, this jade pendant is very ordinary. Why would Manager Zhang ask me to use this ordinary jade pendant to mortgage a hundred taels? No matter how kind-hearted he is, he would not give out any money, right?"

Facing Lianzhi's questioning, Mr. Zhang was not panicked at all: "This girl, have you forgotten? You begged me in the morning to ask me to mortgage more silver for you. He also said that this jade pendant is very important to you and you will definitely come to redeem it. I saw that you were very pitiful, so I gave you a high price. I didn't expect that you were such a person. It's only been so long that you have to redeem this jade pendant. It's not yours, but you want a better jade pendant. I think the girl is a liar, and she uses this method to defraud property."

The guy cried to Mr. Zhang: "Master Cheng, everyone knows that Zhang Zhang is kind-hearted, and this is not the case in the past. The high price is because the shopkeeper is willing to give others a way out. Those people later came to thank my shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, when I met this little girl today, my conscience was fed to the dog's belly. Master, you must make the decision for my shopkeeper!"
