Chapter 2841 Ordered to Pick Up Someone
Madam and Aunt Lei were afraid that little girls like them who had no family to rely on would be deceived, so in addition to learning necessary survival skills, they also listened to several tragic warning stories every month to let them know how evil people can harm people. If you encounter people's tricks, don't be fooled.
She had heard several stories about people who were saved by evil people who deliberately planned to save their lives, and then used this as an excuse to be harmed for a lifetime.
As soon as she said these words, even Wei Changwu was sweating for her. This little Xinghua was really not afraid of death. She spoke so frankly in public. Wasn't she afraid that Mr. Ning would hold a grudge and send dead men to assassinate her?
For the sake of Xiao Xinghua's life, Wei Changwu had to scold her: "That's enough, Miss Xiao. Stop talking. It's getting late. If you don't go to the Yamen, you won't be able to exchange the red deed."
Mr. Ning's patience has reached its limit. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight and there were so many people around, he would have kidnapped Little Xinghua, broken the tough girl's bones, and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice. She knelt down to be his Ning family's chess piece!
But now Mr. Ning could only say with a smile: "Sister Xiao is serious, today is just an accident, and I never ask for repayment from others when I save people."
Xiao Xinghua smiled and did not pick on him, but corrected his title: "Master Ning, please call me Miss Xiao. I am not used to calling me brother and sister when we first met, and let others hear it. I thought there was some gossip between us that would corrupt the family tradition!"
Wei Changwu was convinced. This girl was really not afraid of death. She completely ignored his reminder just now and continued to argue with Mr. Ning... Forget it, this feud was so stubborn that it couldn't be undone, and he couldn't. I was too lazy to persuade him, so I could only work hard to protect this spiky-haired girl on the way back to Beijing.
And Xiao Xinghua, who had caused the matter to come to an end, had already run up to the prefect, saluted him, and said with a smile: "Sister Hua has met the prefect, and it's almost the holiday and I'm here to trouble you. It's really a shame. I'm sorry..."
She seemed to be the reincarnation of a flatterer, she said a lot of compliments, and finally she took out a banknote and handed it to the prefect, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please accept it for your kindness."
The Yuyang Prefecture magistrate's hands were shaking and he quickly refused: "Miss Xiao, you're welcome. What you came to the Yamen to handle is a serious matter. The Yamen should handle it for you. It doesn't have to be like this. It really doesn't have to be like this."
Because of what the Xiong Yue rebels and Feng Jiaya did, Yuyang Mansion was purged twice. When Prince Wei left, he left a message saying that if the government government dared to accept benefits and ruin the results of his purge, he would definitely do it. He came with a knife and cut him.
So please, let me go!
"No? That's okay." Xiao Xinghua was reluctant to part with the money, so she quickly took the banknote back and said, "I'll have someone send a few boxes of white jade moon balls to the prefect later. That's Qin The recipe taught to us by the Duke's wife is beautiful and delicious, and would be sold for twelve taels of silver a box in the capital, so you must accept it, it is a gift from the Xiao family to you."
The fourth-grade prefect, if he stays for a few more years, he might be able to go to the capital and become a capital official. If the relationship is settled well, it will be good for her and the Xiao family.
After hearing this, the prefect nodded happily: "You can accept the moon cake, thank you Miss Xiao."
After hearing this, Xiao Xinghua gave Xiao Yuanmu a proud look... Take a look at Qinmei's ability to do things. As the eldest son, you have to learn from it. Don't be stupid and dull. Even give a gift. If you don't know how to make friends with others or grow your power, then the Xiao family is really doomed.
Xiao Yuanmu was so troubled by his sister that he almost died of a heart attack. He had no time to pay attention to her eyes and said to the prefect, "Thank you, sir."
"It should be done, it should be done. Just follow me." The prefect brought the brothers and sisters into the government office, personally exchanged red deeds for their newly purchased house, shop and land, and then sent them out of the government office.
After they left, the prefect immediately shouted: "Close the door, quickly close the door and seal it, it's a holiday!"
Damn it, don't come again, let me take a breath.
But the master said: "Sir, we may have to open the office tomorrow."
The prefect trembled when he heard this: "Why? Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and according to the law, there are no government offices."
The master said: "Prince Wei's people have already gone to look for the carriage that hit the person. Whether it was a real accident or a conspiracy, our government office must go through the court in accordance with the criminal law."
And this is a nobleman's case. Don't talk about it. As long as you are not dead, you have to go to court and settle this case.
The prefect wanted to cry when he heard this. After returning home in the evening, he had a big banquet in advance to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, lest something big happen the next day and he would not even have time to eat.
Fortunately, the Ning family was very cautious in doing things. Even if Wei Changwu's men took action, what they found was just an accident.
"The carriage belongs to Landlord Huang's family in Yufu Village outside the city. Landowner Huang was able to buy the carriage because of his reputation as a scholar... Yesterday, Landowner Huang's cousin borrowed the carriage to come to the city to buy things for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing that it was getting late, I was afraid that the city gate would be closed and I would be trapped in the city, so I rushed on my horse and almost bumped into you."
"Huang Landlord's house is very clean. There is nothing behind it with the Ning family or Ning's relatives. The same goes for Huang Landlord's cousin. He is a good farmer who lives on the thirty acres of land left by his ancestors." Chief Wei Wu told what he found.
Xiao Yuanmu's face turned pale when he heard this: "So, yesterday was indeed a misunderstanding. The Ning family didn't plot against Sister Hua?"
Then he looked at Xiao Xinghua and said sincerely: "Sister Hua, you have heard that the Ning family really did not harm you. You should act more steadily in the future and don't be as aggressive as yesterday. That will only make enemies for yourself... …There are many powerful people in the capital, but our family is just an Earl’s Palace, and there are many people that our family cannot afford to offend.”
Xiao Xinghua sneered when she heard this: "Brother, are you blaming me?"
Xiao Yuanmu didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xiao Xinghua was very sad, but she still argued with reason: "But Ning is not a good person. He hugged me, hugged my waist, and pressed my breasts!"
When Xiao Yuanmu saw her talking about this matter again, he was very angry and cursed: "Shut up, don't say such things again. You are a girl, how can you say such nasty things? If it spreads, , how do you still behave?!"
General Wu, the Chief of Guard, is still here, so you speak freely and don't blush!
Xiao Yuanmu softened his voice and said: "When saving people, it is inevitable that you will encounter some places that should not be touched. How can you be so fussy about it like you?"
After hearing this, Xiao Xinghua couldn't hold back anymore and shed tears: "As my eldest brother, not only do you not trust me, but you also think that I have wronged someone named Ning? Did you know that when he hugged me, he looked at me What are his eyes looking at? I'm like a piece of meat, and his eyes are full of disgust, thinking about how to eat my piece of meat!"
Sister Wen Qiong was harmed to death by those old men with disgusting eyes!
Xiao Yuanmu felt distressed when he saw her crying, but: "Brother knows that you were frightened and wronged today, but after checking, you can't unjustly accuse someone without evidence."
Xiao Xinghua yelled: "No evidence was found. It may be because he is clever and secretive, but it doesn't mean he really has no malicious intentions!"
Xiao Yuanmu became angry when he heard this: "Sister Hua, why are you so stubborn? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's celebrate the festival well. Don't dwell on this matter anymore. It's over."
