Chapter 1084 Changping County Lord 32
Jing'er said at this time: "County Master, your hair has been combed, please change your clothes."
Xining stood up, her clothes were ready, but she said: "You don't need this set anymore, bring me the treasure clothes you wore when you were canonized."
Jing'er was stunned: "The treasure clothes are too heavy to wear in this weather..."
Xining walked to the middle and spread her arms. A maid came over to help her take off the clothes she was wearing. She said calmly: "No matter how hot it is, you still have to wear it. These are hidden in the belly. They will inevitably have to talk about it when they go back. Only this precious garment can suppress their mouths. Go and get the golden crown when you canonize it." Bring it.”
Butler Xiao asked about the reason, and after asking Butler Lin, he took the people over.
In the living room, Xiaohong was still kneeling, with the broken branches placed on the ground in front of her. This red coral is truly exquisite, so dazzlingly red. Xiaohong cried until her eyes turned into peach kernels.
Butler Xiao walked into the door and bowed: "I am the steward of Changping County Lord, my surname is Xiao. Xiao has been ordered by Changping County Lord to come and handle this matter."
Miss Jia Er chuckled: "Steward Xiao, it's okay. Miss Qian San has a larger coral tree than this one in the warehouse. Just use it to compensate the county owner."
Miss Qian San was so angry that her eyes were red. She didn't have such a big coral tree in her home. She just said it casually. Unexpectedly, it was used as a handle. If he couldn't come up with it, he would be laughed at. Even if he had it at home, if he took it out, Mr. Qian would still be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Miss Jia San, who came with her, couldn't help but nudged her with her elbow and winked, meaning stop talking.
But Miss Jia Er rolled her eyes. It would be a waste if she didn't stab her with such a good opportunity.
Butler Xiao smiled and said: "Qian's family is recognized as one of the richest families in the county. But this matter has nothing to do with the Qian family. Come on, take the coral to the palace."
Um? Everyone was stunned.
Miss Wang couldn't understand: "What are you doing bringing me to my house?"
Butler Xiao raised his hand and grabbed a bamboo raft. This bamboo raft is about the size of a palm, but the difference is that it has a painting on it: "What is this? I wonder which lady can recognize it!"
Miss Zhou knew at a glance: "This seems to be a painting for the occasion. There was a hidden stake from the palace in the past. He painted everything he saw and forwarded it to the capital."
Butler Xiao nodded: "What Miss Zhou said is true. Please take a look, what is the painting on it?"
Although the bamboo raft is not big, the characters on it are painted vividly. There is a painting of a coral tree, and a young lady is about to leave, with a maid beside her supporting her. But there was a maid next to her who stretched out her leg, hooked her leg, and tried to push her with one hand.
The young lady who is leaving is naturally Miss Qian San, and the maid next to her who is plotting against her...
Miss Jia Er was also outspoken and immediately called out: "Isn't this Xiuyan next to Miss Wang?"
The main features of Xiuyan's face in the painting are drawn, and even Miss Wang next to her is also drawn.
Miss Wang's face suddenly turned red, and her words became intermittent: "I, I didn't ask Xiuyan to do such a thing."
Xiuyan's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately retorted: "I didn't do it, it was the wrong drawing!"
Butler Xiao smiled and said nothing, but Miss Tuesday said something fair: "These painting detectives can't make mistakes. They will paint whatever they see. Just like the recording officer, they would rather lose their heads than paint according to the truth."
"I didn't expect the Wang family to be such a person... Yes, I didn't expect... Huh, they are a merchant family after all, full of cunning and cunning..." The voices around him were very low, but they were still clear to the ears. Miss Wang was furious: "Kneel down!"
Xiuyan could only kneel down.
Miss Wang was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she pointed her finger: "Who asked you to do such a dirty thing? You usually follow me to study the books of sages, but where did you learn?"
But Butler Xiao shook his head: "Miss Wang has nothing to do with this matter, please look at the cards."
At this time, everyone discovered that Miss Wang was not looking at Xiuyan, her eyes were still on the coral tree, and the expression on her face was easy-going. She probably didn't know what Xiuyan behind her was going to do.
Butler Xiao said: "Although it has nothing to do with Miss Wang, the girl who committed the crime is from the palace after all. The county boss said that this coral tree belongs to the palace of Qinling Palace. The purchase price at that time was 10,000 taels of silver. Now I estimate that it is at least 10,000 taels of silver." I want 12,000 taels. Whoever breaks it will buy it. If you don’t want to, please go to the county office and file a complaint. The banquet should be about to begin.”

Several servants were waiting outside the house, waiting for the ladies in the house to leave before going in to transport the goods.
The ladies stepped back a little, facing the door, reluctant to leave.
"Miss!" Xiuyan raised her head suddenly and said with tears streaming down her face: "I am responsible for all my work. Since I have made a mistake, I will not implicate the palace."
He looked around, stood up suddenly, aimed at the pillar next to him, and rushed over.
Butler Xiao saw something bad and shouted: "Stop her!"
Upon seeing this, a maid serving tea dropped the plate in her hand and bumped into it. The impact was so strong that they both fell to the ground.
The maid seemed to have practiced a lot. She turned over and fell on top of Xiuyan. She grabbed one of Xiuyan's arms and pulled it behind her back: "Go get the rope!"
The ropes were brought and tied tightly, and cloth was stuffed into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
Butler Xiao was also stunned and looked at the maid.
The maid clapped her hands and said happily: "The county boss said that something might happen today. As long as it can be stopped on the spot, there will be a reward of silver."
The corner of Butler Xiao's mouth twitched: "What else did the county master say?" He was the steward, why didn't he know about this?
The maid put her hands on her waist: "The county master is wise and has arranged for someone to be by the pond. If someone comes close, he will ask her to leave. Even if she falls into the water, there will be maids who are familiar with the water and are ready to rescue her. We got clean clothes. Several wells were sealed to prevent anyone from being pushed into the wells. All kinds of food and drinks were handled according to the rules of the Qinling Palace. As long as the wine cup was changed, it would be discarded immediately. Stop, prevent poisoning..."
Butler Xiao was speechless. Hehe, the county master really thought about Zhou Xiang.
Miss Wang originally did not want to continue participating, but was persuaded by Butler Xiao. After all, we still have to prepare a carriage to send back. What happened on the way is unclear.
Thinking about it, she would be scolded even if she went back now, so she simply stayed. Maybe for the sake of the county boss, and it was Xiuyan's fault, she would be given a lighter punishment.
Xiuyan, who was tied up with five flowers, was sent to the palace together with the coral tree, and even this one was taken with her. The mayor of Changping County always clears money and goods on the spot when doing business. If he has the ability, he will stick to it, and it will not be the best to stick to it. If it doesn't stick, use it as something else. You know, a pair of red coral earrings can cost ten taels of silver in the store. If you have one long earring, you can make many earrings.
When all the young ladies left the living room to go to the banquet, they all murmured and commented secretly that the county lord's mansion was really a place where dragons and tigers were hidden. Anyone who wants to cause trouble here is really blinded by lard.
