"Dafeng, tie this brat back to me. I'm going to take him back with me to see if this is the case. If it's not... hum! I'll cut off your head first!"
Cai Jinlan glared at Ke'er with a fierce look in her eyes, then pretended to be calm and took the lead to leave...
However, as soon as she turned around, the madam, who had been silent and allowed her to make trouble, spoke at this time - "Wait a minute, Miss Cai, I still have something to say."
The Madam's tone was high-pitched, with a calculating and profiteer smile on her charming face, and she walked slowly around to Cai Jinlan.
Looking at the shrewd smile on her face, Cai Jinlan said with disgust from the bottom of her heart: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense now."
"Miss Cai's words are wrong. The person you want to take away now is from my Xianyun House, and she has not committed any crime. It is not okay for you to take her away for nothing. There is nothing so cheap in the world.
Well, if this matter is brought to court, your father probably won’t be able to explain it, so, Miss, if you really chop off his head, you’ll have to pay him the ransom for selling himself.”
Ke'er's eyes suddenly opened wide.
She is a good madam who knows how to do business. At first, she naively thought that the madam would help her, but it turned out that Zuo was just using her to make money.
Moreover, when did she sell herself to Xian Yunlou? This madam can really lie about anything for money!
However, Ke'er herself was not angry at what the madam said, but Cai Jinlan was very angry.
"How presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to, how dare you ask me for money? I think you are desperate for your life!"
Facing Cai Jinlan's anger, the Madam was very calm as if she was used to dealing with it. She flirted with Jin Buyao in her bun - "Miss Cai's words are unreasonable. Although your father is
The state capital, but... no dignitaries have ever been to my Xianyun Tower. Everyone is a reasonable person, so I guess your father... will also be a reasonable person."
The voice was slow but mixed with a sharpness that made people think deeply.
Cai Jinlan was about to continue to attack, but Dafeng came close to her ear and reminded her: "Miss, this Xianyun Tower is the number one fireworks place in the capital. It is favored by many dignitaries and even princes, otherwise this old bustard will also
I won’t talk to you so confidently, I think...it’s better to do less than to do more."
After hearing this, Cai Jinlan secretly changed her mind and felt that Dafeng's concerns were quite reasonable.
Although her father is the capital of the state, there are many people with higher official positions than her father. She may have offended King Tenglong, so she must not cause any more trouble to her father. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the madam, she must be someone with some background.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly said: "Humph! I don't have time to argue with you here. I just give you money. I am the right one to give you a big reward, Dafeng."
After receiving the instruction, Dafeng immediately took out a bag of silver, gave the madam a sharp look, and then stuffed the bag containing the silver into the old madam's hand: "Hold it carefully, for you, the silver is quite valuable to you.
Don’t... lose your life!"
After humming a few times in a meaningful way and glaring at her fiercely, Da Feng walked away.
Seeing that they had reached a contract of selling her body just like that, Ke'er was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't get angry now, because Su Mei was still here, and she had to find a way to come back, and she couldn't fall out with the madam now.
So, Ke'er secretly endured it and remained silent until Cai Jinlan ordered her to be taken away.
Before leaving, she quietly gave Aunt Tao a look that only the two of them understood - take good care of Susu for me.
Aunt Tao nodded in understanding, and then watched helplessly as she was being taken away, completely losing her sense of proportion.
The madam, on the other hand, was weighing the money and smiling. He was obviously very satisfied with this windfall, and he didn't care whether Ke'er was going to live or die.
…
Above the court hall of Caizhou Mansion.
Sitting on the high seat in the courtroom, Caizhoufu was trembling with cold sweat, and his eyes were trembling as he looked at the extremely handsome purple-robed Aochenye standing in the courtroom.
Obviously, Caizhou Mansion knew Ao Chenye's identity, which made Ao Chenye very interesting.
He stood calmly with his hands behind his back, looking leisurely at Caizhou Mansion, who was trembling and sweating all over.
The atmosphere was so quiet that it felt suffocating.
After a long time, Caizhou Mansion could no longer bear it and stood up tremblingly: "King...King, you..."
As soon as his butt left the stool, Ao Chenye waved his hand at the right time and stopped him in a calm voice - "Hey, please sit down, Caizhou Mansion. Don't worry about my identity. You are the judge now. I'm just here to retaliate."
As an official, your Excellency only needs to review the case fairly and strictly."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"However, before reporting the crime, may I ask you a question?"
"Please...Excuse me." Caizhou Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and responded cautiously.
"With your official position, you are not allowed to enter the palace. How did you know my identity?" Ao Chenye had a very curious look on his handsome face, but what others couldn't see was the look in his eyes.
But it hides a sharp edge.
Upon hearing this question, Cai Zhoufu's body trembled obviously and his eyes flickered a little.
His hands under the table twisted his sleeves in panic, and he answered cautiously and anxiously - "Yes... yes, Wang Naitian's son, how can I be blessed to meet him? It's just that before I became the capital of the state, I was in the palace."
When I was on duty, I was lucky enough to see the king's face from a distance. It left a deep impression that I will never forget. That's why I know your identity now."
After hearing his answer, Ao Chenye's eyes deepened even further.
"Oh? That's it. However, I remembered that I personally appointed the official seal for this official position of your Excellency." He seemed to be reminiscing.
This time, Cai Zhoufu's body trembled more obviously. He wiped his cold sweat again and said respectfully: "Yes, I have always felt this in my heart. I will always fulfill my duties and do my best to live up to your honor."
Gift.”
Hearing this, Ao Chenye's lips curled up without leaving any trace, and the sarcastic smile disappeared in an instant.
Then, he continued to pretend to remember: "Actually, the person who should really be grateful to Caizhou Mansion should be my Highness, Brother Wang. If Brother Wang hadn't accidentally mentioned to me back then, you are a rare person who is dedicated to his duties.
If you don’t have any other thoughts towards Brother Wang, I will not appoint you to be Caizhou Prefecture."
Your Highness...
Cai Zhoufu's eyes quickly passed through a trace of impurity, which was quickly covered up and disappeared. He continued to respond solemnly: "Yes, I will bear in mind your suggestion."
Hearing such an answer, Ao Chenye's dark eyes narrowed without trace, and his eyes became far-reaching.
So, Caizhou Prefecture didn’t know about Brother Wang’s promotion back then?
If it was...well, he hoped it was.
Ao Chenye calmly closed his eyes and collected his thoughts for a while, then finally got back to the subject and said: "I won't say any more irrelevant words. I came to court this time because I wanted to ask Caizhou Mansion to make the decision on an unfair matter. "
As he spoke, Aochen Yepo had a common people's tone, as if he was complaining about injustice.
However, Caizhou Mansion was immediately sweating even more because of his common people's request.
Unconsciously, he was complaining to the sky. What kind of day was it today? A noble man who was countless times more powerful than him actually came to his court to beat drums and express his grievances.
Oh my god, how dare I make the decision for the majestic emperor? It’s really going to kill him!
He reluctantly cheered up: "Please...please speak."
"It's like this. Not long ago, I saw a group of evil people besieging an innocent little scholar in a small alley of Jing Street. I couldn't stand it for a while, so I acted as a hero to eliminate evil and punish the evil people. killed……"
When he said this, Ao Chenye seemed to feel that his behavior was inappropriate and he prolonged the ending.
Caizhou Mansion thought he was hinting at something, so he quickly spoke up and said: "It turns out that the evildoers were punished. Those people actually bullied a weak scholar. They are very evil people. Keeping these people will only harm the common people. In addition to It fell very well."
