Chapter 34
Entering the government office for the second time
Zhenbao Pavilion is the shop of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and Guangping Marquis Zhai Yao and the current general Xu Junze had formed a feud a few years ago. Everyone in the capital knew about this. At that time, Xu Junze had not yet made great military exploits.
In the capital, Marquis Guangping and his son were beaten up in the street. After that, the Marquis Guangping's mansion targeted Xu Junze everywhere, and even now they don't like each other.
The last time the young master of the Xu family got into trouble, the old censor Fang had already withdrawn the complaint. This time, the Guangping Marquis Mansion got the handle on the young master of the Xu family. The matter was not so easy to solve. Their capital city was also caught between the two houses.
It was very difficult. Neither party could afford to offend, let alone stay out of the matter, so we had no choice but to do business in a formal manner and follow the procedures.
Lin Shuran had doubts, but she still asked Xu Minghao to be called in. When he heard that someone said that he had stolen something from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Xu Minghao immediately became angry, saying that someone had wrongly accused him, and he had been staying at home peacefully these days.
Everyone in the house can testify to him.
"Which little thief wronged me? Find him, and I will confront him face to face!" Xu Minghao really felt that he was wronged this time. It was true that he was sitting at home and the pot came from the sky. He was so wronged.
Capt. Luo had no choice but to tell the truth: "Seventh Young Master, yesterday a gold hairpin was lost in Zhenbao Pavilion. Someone reported that they saw you discussing with a group of thieves to steal something. Later, the group of thieves were killed by the younger ones.
Once caught, they all said you asked them to steal it!"
"What a little thief, I don't know him at all!" Xu Minghao looked at Lin Shuran with aggrieved and anxious expression. He recognized the things he had done, but how could he recognize the things he had not done.
"Captain Luo, are you sure that the gang of thieves said it was our seventh son who asked them to do it?" Lin Shuran saw that Xu Minghao didn't seem to be lying. Although this child is naughty, he has always been daring to do anything. As long as he breaks in
Damn it, he always stood up and admitted it.
"That's right, they said he is the seventh young master of the General's Mansion!" Luo Captou said with certainty.
"Since they said this, I will personally take Lao Qi to confront them later. After all, it is what we should do to help the government find out the truth. If it is really my Lao Qi who did it, I will punish him as I should. If it is someone else
It's a false accusation, and our General's Office must seek justice!" Lin Shuran's attitude was kind and courteous, and he seemed unfazed. Such a demeanor made Luo Captou unable to say anything else, and quickly nodded in agreement.
"I won't go!" Xu Minghao felt aggrieved. He had done nothing and went to the Yamen.
Soon, another carriage stopped behind the Xu family's carriage, and then came down seven or eight boys who were exactly the same as Xu Minghao in the carriage, whether in clothing, clothing or height.
This was said in a low voice, but Lin Shuran, who was very close, also heard it. Did Marquis Guangping personally intervene in this matter? Is that stolen gold hairpin so important?
Captain Luo glanced at Lin Shuran secretly, and seeing that her face was fine, he had no choice but to lead Lin Shuran, Xu Minghao and the group of children into the lobby where the case was being heard.
Only then did Luo Captou understand what Lin Shuran meant, and he couldn't help but admire her. This general's wife actually knew how to handle cases, and she was worthy of being the daughter of the Taifu family.
Lin Shuran asked Luo Zaitou and the others to wait for a while. She wanted to go back and change clothes first. Then she called Xu An aside and whispered instructions to him. Then she told Xu Mingchen and the others not to worry, as she and Xu Minghao would be back soon.
"Madam, what does this mean?" Luo Baotou asked with some confusion.
After saying that, Lin Shuran looked at the somewhat confused Xu Minghao and said, "Lao Qi, stand with them!"
Then she said: "Don't be afraid, mother will go with you, I will be with you in everything!"
"Why don't you go? As long as you are open-minded, you won't be afraid of anywhere. If you don't go, you will look guilty. Does this really have anything to do with you?" Lin Shuran deliberately provoked him.
Lin Shuran looked at him solemnly and said: "Lao Qi, I believe in you, that's why I want to prove your innocence. If you believe in yourself, you must prove your innocence. Think about it, why don't others say anything about those people?"
If you want to say it was you, do they have a grudge against you? Or were they instigated by others? If someone deliberately framed you, who was that person? And why did he do this? Only by finding the answers to these questions can you
Only then can the grievances committed on one’s body be washed away.”
Lin Shuran explained with a smile: "I will ask Capt. Luo to separate the captured thieves later to prevent them from colluding in confessions, and then let them identify themselves individually to see if it is my seventh son who asked them to go."
Stealing things."
Chief Luo didn't want to offend the general's office, so he immediately arranged for people to separate the gang of thieves in the prison, and then sent someone to inform Zhang Min, the governor, that the general's wife had come to the government office in person again.
After a while, a police officer hurried over from the lobby where the case was being heard, and whispered to Mr. Luo: "My lord, I asked you to invite people over quickly. Marquis Guangping has just arrived in the hall!"
Xu Minghao immediately looked at her with a hurt expression: "You don't believe me?"
After Xu Minghao followed Lin Shuran into the carriage, Lin Shuran asked him to change his clothes in the car. Xu Minghao was puzzled, but he did it anyway.
Soon, the Xu family's carriage arrived at the government office. This time, the governor Zhang Min did not come out to greet him. Lin Shuran got off the carriage first and asked Xu Minghao to wait in the car for a while. Luo Captou was a little puzzled.
After listening to Lin Shuran's words, Xu Minghao pursed his lips, and then nodded seriously. This time he was willing to believe Lin Shuran, and he seemed to have a sense of security in his heart, and was not afraid to go to the government office.
The Marquis of Guangping, Zhai Yao, was in his forties, probably middle-aged. He was a little stout, with a round face and a round waist, and was covered in jewels. He looked like a rich man.
His small eyes were shrewd and exposed, and he glanced at Lin Shuran with some dissatisfaction. He thought it was that boy Xu Junze who came, but he didn't expect that it was a female family member, and he felt a little dissatisfied on his face.
Lin Shuran didn't know the Marquis of Guangping, but Zhang Min, the governor, introduced the two parties. Lin Shuran gave him a slight salute, but Guangping Marquis Zhai Rao snorted at her with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose, and then said directly:
"I don't want to bring this matter to court. It's just that you guys from the Xu family are too audacious and dare to steal things. Xu Junze is not raising a stepson, he is clearly raising a bunch of white-eyed thieves.
!”
Lin Shuran's eyes immediately turned sharp. She didn't expect that the dignified Marquis Guangping would speak so harshly and harshly. She gave Xu Minghao, who had eyes blazing with anger, a "be patient" look. She was not used to Zhai Yao, neither humble nor arrogant.
He said: "As the saying goes: 'You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense'. Before the matter was found out, the Marquis of Guangping made such humiliating remarks. I, the Xu family, will sue you for false accusation!"
Chapter completed!
