Daming female local tyrant

Jing Lan didn't sleep well all night in the Shen family's old house, because she was worried that something would happen to Shen Wan who hadn't come home all night. When she got up early the next day, she called Ping An, a servant, and asked him to rent a car and go to the Suzhou government office. Ask if Shen Wan has been implicated in the Tongwo lawsuit.

The boy agreed safely, and stepped back in a hurry.He had just reached the gate of Shen's old house when he ran into the house guard who just jumped off his horse.

As soon as he saw the room guard who went to Suzhou with his master Shen Wan yesterday, Ping An guessed that there was news from Suzhou, so he hurried forward to meet him and asked anxiously: "Fang guard, but the master asked you to come back. Have you sent the message to Sister Lan?"

The room guard smiled and said: "Exactly, the eldest lady ordered me to come back earlier and tell Sister Lan that Shenji Silk and Satin Village will open its doors for business again today, and the eldest lady will take care of the things in the shop, and I will be back in the afternoon... "

"Great, then go in and report to Sister Lan so that she can feel at ease." Ping An said excitedly.

Room guard: "Okay, I'll go right away."

So, Jing Lan saw Ping An who had just gone out and ran back, followed by the dusty house guards.

Seeing the guard in the room, Jing Lan knew that he had come back to deliver a message. There must be news from Shen Wan, but she didn't know if it was good news or bad news, so she still felt a little uneasy.

But what the room guard said afterwards brought a smile to her face.

The house guard told her that Shen Wan went to Huo Tongpan's private house yesterday, and after meeting Huo Tongpan's wife, Mrs. Jiang, as soon as she told her about her visit, Mrs. Jiang sent her family's servants to meet Huo Tongpan at the Suzhou government office. The judge told him that Shen Wan was implicated in the Tongwo lawsuit.

Later, Jiang left Shen Wan at Huo's house to wait for news.

In the evening, Huo Tongsan returned home from the yamen, saying that he had already found out that Shenji silk and satin shop was sealed up by the tolerance, and shopkeeper Wu was arrested in the prison of the Suzhou government office.

Lei Si Prison accepted a bribe from a silk and satin merchant named Ke Wenhan, and asked him to help complete Shen Ji's silk and satin shop, which also deals in silk and satin. Shen Ji's shopkeeper and owner were both imprisoned.

Ke Wenhan gave Lei Si Prison 300 taels of silver and a beautiful maid, and he agreed to help, and followed Ke Wenhan's idea to frame Wu shopkeeper and Shen Wantongwo, the owner of Shenji Silk and Satin House.

Who would have thought that the "Tongwo" lawsuit brought together by Ke Wenhan and Lei Si prison was full of doubts and was too clumsy, and he found loopholes all at once.

He asked Lei Si prison to explain the doubts in the lawsuit, but he couldn't explain it.

As a result, of course he wanted to report this lawsuit to the magistrate for interrogation. Unexpectedly, Prison Lei Si immediately faltered, knelt down to plead with him, and told him all about it.He also said, let shopkeeper Wu and Luo Kaiyuan be released, and then arrest Diao Qi and Ke Wenhan.

He said that he only wanted to mend the past and let Hotong give him a chance to reform himself.

Of course, Huo Tongju would not believe his words, and ignored his pleading, and immediately asked his subordinates to detain the Lei Si prison, and then reported the case to the magistrate.

Wang Zhifu read the file and immediately ordered people to bring Lei Si Prison, as well as Luo Kaiyuan and shopkeeper Wu in the cell, to the court for interrogation.

Lei Si Prison was afraid of suffering, so he quickly recruited. Wang Zhifu immediately sent people to arrest Diao Qi and Ke Wenhan for interrogation. Their confessions were consistent with Lei Si Prison's.Therefore, shopkeeper Wu and Luo Kaiyuan, who were wronged, were released in court. As for the shops that were sealed up by officials, they also sent people to tear off the seals, allowing Shen's silk and satin shop to reopen for business.

Considering Lei Si Prison's voluntary confession, Huo Tongjuan still pleaded with Wang Zhifu, hoping that Lei Si Prison could be sent to Lei Si Prison lightly.

Prefect Wang adopted Huo Tongsan's suggestion and temporarily put Lei Si Prison in prison. After the case is fully reviewed, he will give Lei Si Prison an appropriate punishment.

Because Huo Tong came back late last night, the Jiang family left Shen Wan to stay at Huo's house for one night. When Shen Wan got up this morning, he sent the house guards to report to Jing Lan at the Shen family's old house in Jinhe Town, lest Shen Wan miss.She will come back in the afternoon after the matter of Suzhou Shenji Silk and Satin Village is dealt with.

"Great! Guard Fang, you've worked hard, go down and rest!" Jing Lan said happily after hearing this.

"Yes, Sister Lan." The room guard clasped his fists and said.

Now, everyone in the old house respectfully calls Jing Lan "Sister Lan", even Jiang Huwei, who are more than ten or twenty years older than Jing Lan, is the same.

After surviving this "Tongwa" incident without any risk, Jing Lan could finally eat and sleep well.

Because I was worried all night last night, now I am relieved, Jing Lan couldn't hold on to sleep after breakfast, and slept until noon.

Opening his eyes, he heard the maids shouting in surprise that the eldest lady is back.

When Jing Lan heard this, she knew that Shen Wan had returned from Suzhou, she was overjoyed, she immediately got up, got out of bed and put on her clothes.

Before she got dressed, Shen Wan lifted the curtain and walked in, walked towards her with a smile on her face, and when she reached her, she stretched out her hand to hold her hand, panting and said: "...I'm afraid you Worried, I went to Shenji Silk and Satin House early in the morning to take care of some business matters with shopkeeper Wu, and then hurried back."

Jing Lan asked her with a smile: "Then have you had lunch?"

Shen Wan shook her head: "Not yet, look at you, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together at noon."

Jing Lan nodded and said yes.

Shen Wan also said to ask Zhao Siniang to cook some good dishes and drink some wine to celebrate. This time, she let Shen Ji Silk and Satin Shop reopen for business so quickly, so that her owner would not be implicated in the lawsuit.

This was indeed something worth celebrating, so Jing Lan didn't insist that she would go to the silk and satin shop in Jinhe Town in the afternoon.

For lunch, the two ate in the Xici Room of Xiulou, and Zhao Siniang fried several Jing Lan and Shen Wan's favorite dishes and brought them in.

Jing Lan and Shen Wan chatted while eating.

"...Wanwan, I heard from the guards in the room today that Lei Si Prison confessed to being a silk merchant named Ke Wenhan. Because he was jealous of Shen Ke's business in the silk and satin shop, he came up with a plan to bribe Lei Si Prison and frame us. However, Don't you think there is something tricky here? Before, when we found out that Shenji Silk and Satin Co., Ltd. was implicated in Tongwo's lawsuit, we guessed that the Xiao family was behind it, but what's going on with Ke Wenhan?" Jing Lan asked She answered her own question, which came to her mind after listening to Fang Weifang's words just now, and she still couldn't figure it out.

Shen Wan took a chopstick of bamboo shoots and chewed them in her mouth, and slowly said to Jing Lan: "I am also very puzzled about this matter, so I specifically brought it up in front of Uncle Huo, and I told him about the relationship between me and Xiao Yulang. I said that I suspect that there is Xiao Yulang behind Ke Wenhan. After hearing this, Uncle Huo said that the case has not yet been concluded, and he will have Ke Wenhan interrogated, and let him honestly explain who was responsible for framing us. But if that Ke Wenhan lives or dies If you don’t recruit, there is nothing you can do about him.”

"Well, what Huo Tongjuan said was that even if Ke Wenhan confessed to all his actions, Xiao Yulang would not be involved. You said, when Xiao Yulang set up this plan to frame you, he didn't expect that there were many loopholes in it. , can't frame you?"

"What he thinks is that money can turn ghosts around. He thinks that I am a woman who has no one to rely on in Suzhou, and I have no other Shen family members to help me. I guess he sent someone to inquire. After I came to Suzhou, I followed some of them. What kind of people come and go. Knowing that the people I met were merchants, they wanted to frame me. No one in the yamen asked about this matter, so I would be implicated in it. Even if Uncle Tao and others help me later Getting out of the lawsuit will also make me stay in prison for a few days and suffer some flesh and blood, which can be regarded as revenge for being imprisoned by Commander Mao for two days."

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Yulang probably really came up with this idea." Jing Lan agreed again and again, "He also took chances, thinking that if you were unlucky enough, you might be sentenced to exile, and Shenji Silk and Satin Village would also be sentenced to exile. Sealed up and closed down. If you have someone to help you, you didn’t get out of the prison so quickly. The Leisi Prison let you be beaten and suffered in the prison. The treacherous scheme surnamed Xiao succeeded. Even if it was a false alarm, it still made everyone in the Shen family's old house worry and frightened. Xiao Yulang, a villain, if he is not allowed to be punished, he will not be reconciled."

Shen Wan said: "I will write a letter to tell my father and the old lady about this, and let them know about Xiao Yulang's despicable deeds. Why does our Shen family still associate with such people? Our Shen family shouldn't be with them anymore For business, as long as my father writes to the capital to tell my third uncle who is a servant in the household department, the Xiao family will not be able to sell grain into the capital. Some of the big grain sellers here in the south of the Yangtze River want to sell grain into Beijing Well, if someone finds out that our Shen family wants to cooperate with other big households, they might try to curry favor with our Shen family."

After Jing Lan listened, she thought for a while and said, "Then you can choose two big households who want to sell grain into the capital, let them compete with the Xiao family, replace the Xiao family, and sell their grain into the capital." Didn't Xiao Yulang have the money to bribe Lei Si Prison, I think the Xiao family's money has decreased, can he still do so many unconscionable things?"

"That's right! Lan'er, your strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot is very good! As long as the Xiao family makes less profit, it will gradually find it difficult to gain a foothold among the four prominent families in Jinling. Compared to making Xiao Yulang's life difficult, making the entire Xiao family feel better It makes me feel more comfortable to pay the due price for his despicable deeds." Shen Wan's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.

"An evildoer like him, if he doesn't taste the bitterness of doing evil, on the contrary, he will continue to harm us. We can't be soft on such people."

"What Lan'er said really wins my heart. Removing the Xiao family from the list of the four prominent families in Jinling is something we will definitely accomplish in the next few years."

Jing Lan picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Shen Wan, and asked her to work together to bring down the Xiao family as soon as possible.

Shen Wan nodded heavily and agreed, and the two raised their wine glasses and drank down their necks in one gulp.
