After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Judging from what Cihang Temple said, they wanted to kill the wife of Marquis Jingnan.

Then, he must do his best to make the wife of Marquis Jingnan receive some punishment.

We can’t let our immediate superior cause trouble.

In order to gain a place in front of the abbot of Cihang Temple, Yan Tongzhi also worked very hard.

After a moment's hesitation, he pointed mysteriously to the sky:

"My Lord, you can't say that. You can't say that."

The prefect suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and no one knew what he was thinking of.

Anyway, as soon as he returned, he firmly refused the gift from the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion.

After all this going back and forth, the people who were sent to the mountain to capture the criminals and investigate the scene should be back by now.

Tongzhi Yan immediately sent a team of yamen runners to the Jingnan Marquis's mansion to ask Madam Zhang to respond to the lawsuit.

Zhang Liu, who had been following the incident throughout, naturally would not miss this opportunity to make a big fuss. He ordered the bravest of his men to follow the yamen runners with gongs and drums, beating gongs and shouting:

"Come and see! The police are going to arrest the wife of Marquis Jingnan who set fire and killed people!"

It immediately attracted a large number of onlookers along the way, who followed.

By the time they arrived outside the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion, hundreds of people had already gathered, and the momentum was quite huge.

The yamen runners of Nandu Prefecture knocked on the door while handing over official documents.

The gatekeeper of Jingnan Marquis's Mansion hurried in to report the news and said that many people were already surrounding the gate of the mansion.

This was the first time that Zhang encountered such a difficult situation, and she was extremely panicked.

But the most trusted Nanny Liu was still recuperating in the other courtyard, and there was no one to discuss things with.

Qing Liu said on the side:

"These people are so bold that they dare to ask the wife of a marquis to go to court with a bunch of low-class people. We won't go. I don't believe that those people dare to break into the marquis' mansion!"

Although these words were not constructive, they helped Zhang to calm down.

She knew something was wrong when the prefect refused her gift.

However, she never expected that Tongzhi Yan would be so ruthless and ask her, a noble and chaste marquis's wife, to show her face in the court.

If she went, her reputation would be ruined in the future. Would she still be able to hold her head up high among the wives of officials?

The Marquis has gone to patrol the nearby county. Water from far away cannot put out a fire nearby.

The only thing she could do was to stay in the mansion and preserve her reputation.

But she had no idea that the situation outside was already very unfavorable to her.

The bailiffs indeed did not dare to break into the Marquis of Jingnan's mansion.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the mansion. The bailiffs later knocked on the door, but the doorman even locked the door directly and didn't even show his head.

The hundreds of onlookers gathered at the door quickly lost their patience, and under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, they began to shout loudly:

"Come out and answer the lawsuit!"

"Madam Jingnan is going to the government office to answer the lawsuit!"

"If you have the guts to order people to kill people and set fires, then go to the government office to answer the lawsuit!"

"The Marquis of Jingnan is bullying others by taking advantage of their power and flouting the law!"

"Go and bring that vicious woman out to answer the charges!"

This was the scene that Li Ma and others from the Zhang family's direct branch saw when they came over from the dock.

After asking what happened, Nanny Li immediately frowned.

After entering the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion through the back door, she went straight to find Zhang.

Zhang was upset and listened to the servant's report:

"Madam, Madam Li from the Zhang family's eldest wife has arrived. She said she wants to see you for something important."

Zhang's brows were twisted into knots.

The old hag is so annoying!

What important matter must be said at this time?

It just so happened that this person represented the eldest lady of the Zhang family, so she had to meet her.

However, she never expected that when Li Ma saw her, she scolded her fiercely:

"Has Madam Hou decided to be a coward?"

Zhang's face suddenly turned red.

Nanny Li must have said this because she saw what happened in front of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

In her early years, she was not in a powerful position in the Zhang Mansion in the capital, and she always had to try her best to please her aunt, cousin and others from the direct line of the family.
