Chapter 157: Being taught
Madam Cai originally raised her hand to throw the silver bag on the ground, but her eyes fell on the people watching outside, and she was immediately alert.
When they came, they did not hide their identities.
Now everyone knows that they are from the Li family.
Mama Cai naturally felt that the Li family was in the sky and no one dared to provoke her, but she also knew that the Li family had been on the decline in recent years. Because they had made many enemies in the capital in the early years, they were somewhat sad in recent years, and the master was very low-key outside.
If I hadn't been to a place like Shouling, Madam Cai wouldn't have acted like she is now.
Although it is a small location, the young master has shown up, she still doesn't want to take any risks for her reputation.
The young master will get married next year, at this time...
After pondering for a while, Madam Cai took the eleven taels and twenty-four words and handed them over, then sneered. Looking at Gu Xiang, her voice was still calm: "Little girl, I remember you."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Gu Xiang took a step forward, just stuck at the door, and smiled and said, "I think you will remember it for a longer time."
Madam Cai was stunned, with a smile on her face. She looked Gu Xiang up and down a few times and said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's great. I wanted to allow you to be arrogant for a while, but now you are rushing to die, so I can't blame me."
She glanced at the guard beside her, "Xia Lai, this man intends to attack the young master, what should you do?"
In an instant, the four guards drew their swords together and stepped forward to protect Ma Ma Cai and others behind them.
The atmosphere was immediately solemn.
Qiu Li held Gu Xiang's hand, and some worries appeared between her eyebrows: "Sanniang."
This matter had nothing to do with Sanniang. She didn't know what kind of family the Li family was, but only looked at the aura of the guards and the words and deeds of Madam Cai, and also knew that their family must be powerful and powerful.
Xi Huange is also familiar with the connections in Shouling. She is in the wardrobe. She doesn't mention others, but she just said that Lao Zhu is a disciple of the Huashan Sect. She has practiced martial arts for twenty years. As a result, these four people hit the center with one move. She immediately stopped breathing and woke up for a while and couldn't move.
Qiu Li grabbed Gu Xiang's arm tightly: "Don't force yourself with them."
Gu Xiang chuckled and said, "What do I do with them? I just remind this, nanny, that bullying girls in broad daylight will be beaten."
Before he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
The four guards of the Li family immediately became alert and suddenly turned around and saw two rows of about twenty or so yamen runners coming together, blocking the gate of Xihuan Pavilion tightly.
Madam Cai glanced at her and didn't take it seriously, making her feel a little funny: "Is this your support? The little girl is quite naive. When I was young, I couldn't say I would like you."
She is thirty-one this year, but her face is tender, and her makeup is not as young as she is, but outsiders always think she is only twenty-five or six years old, and she is in her prime.
The old lady at home always said that the servants called her nanny and called her dozens of years old, but she was used to her as an elder and never felt that there was anything wrong with this title.
"I will teach you a truth today." Madam Cai's eyes were deep and she said softly, "There are justices in the yamen, but who can get the justices? It's very particular."
When Madam Cai spoke, a guard beside her had already greeted her and walked directly to the commander Zhou, who was leading the team, lit up his waist sign, and said coldly: "There is nothing you have to do here, please leave."
County Magistrate Zhou frowned: "The imperial guard? Come to do business? Do you have any official documents? Why don't you go to the yamen?"
The guard was stunned. County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand, and the four yamen runners behind him broke into the door without saying a word. They pushed a few guards away and went straight to Mama Cai.
"What are you doing?"
Madam Cai was stunned, with a little disbelief on her face, "Don't touch me!"
One of the two yamen runners twisted her arm, and the Li family's guards reacted and shouted angrily: "Looking for death!"
The four of them are indeed good at playing. The sword makes the big opening and closing. At first glance, they are the tactics of the army. Although there are many yamen runners, they can't do anything to deal with these four people for a while.
But it is impossible for them to break through the siege of the yamen runners to rescue Mama Cai.
Zhou County Magistrate looked back and said, "Miss Wang, here."
Magistrate Wang hurried over on a horse and climbed the steps of Xihuan Pavilion. Seeing Gu Xiang, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He hasn't seen the third lady for a long time.
This is not the time to speak.
As soon as County Magistrate Wang entered the door, he didn't even look at the imperial guards who were still fighting with the yamen runners. He only communicated with County Magistrate Zhou and asked, "Where is the miserable?"
Qiu Li glanced at Gu Xiang, thinking that even the third lady who had nothing to do with this matter was held resentful, she felt ashamed and angry: "Go back to the county master, it's the little girl who wants to sue this person."
She stared at Mama Cai and said angrily: "She is lawless, committing crimes in public, humiliating the people's daughter... If a girl has a false word, she is willing to be punished."
Magistrate Wang nodded and asked for the evidence in turn.
Many of the guests from Xihuan Pavilion and many of them stood up to testify. They described what happened just now in words and said, and all of them were angry when they mentioned this.
"Just just now, this person asked these four people to suppress Miss Qiuli and pulled her clothes. Oh, that scene was so scary."
"Look at the decorations of Xi Huan Pavilion, how much has it been smashed. Even the golden lotus tea cup that Mr. Xue gave to Miss Xixi this spring was smashed. It's lawless!"
Magistrate Wang's face darkened, staring at Madam Cai, who had been taken to the jade stairs outside Xihuan Pavilion by two yamen runners, saying, "Is what the witness said true?"
Madam Cai was about to get mad, but she instinctively found something wrong. Her eyes flashed slightly, she looked up and struggled twice, broke away from the rule of the two yamen runners, and took a deep breath: "Report to the county lord, this is all a misunderstanding."
She squinted her eyes and stared at Qiu Li: "I am from the Li family in Beijing, and our old lady is Liu, the wife of Lu Guofeng'an."
After a pause, he saw that Wang Magistrate Wang and others were unmoved, his eyes stopped and his voice rose a little, "Qiuli is the newly acquired concubine of my young master. I am here to discipline our family on the order of the old lady. This is family law and has nothing to do with outsiders."
"nonsense!"
Qiu Li sternly said, "Who is your concubine!"
Madam Cai raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered: "Ada, give the letter of contract to County Magistrate Wang. Our Li family is a ruler, so you must first get a contract early to take a concubine. You are already from our Li family."
Qiu Li was stunned. When she saw Ada take out the contract and hand it to Magistrate Wang, she suddenly changed her expression: "Mom Qiao?"
Her body should be in the hands of Mama Qiao.
There was no one who saw Qiao's mother everywhere.
Qiu Li's face changed drastically, and her heart instantly felt despair, and it fell into the hands of this person... She would rather die.
But Gu Xiang looked motionless, reached out and held Qiu Li's arm, and smiled and said, "It just so happened that County Magistrate Wang, Qiu Li's body contract is here, so I can't get it from the side. I'll have to worry about you to get it for Qiu Li."
Magistrate Wang suddenly realized and said, "Okay, let's do it now."
