Cao Cao glanced at the attendants beside him, and they immediately bowed and nodded knowingly.

"Report to Sikong, Mrs. Huan has been ordered to bring."

Hearing the guard's report, Ah Sheng couldn't help but stop, and looked away from the incoming man.

With just one glance, she froze.

Only in front of Huan Pei did she feel the powerlessness and inferiority welling up in her heart.

Like the tide gradually invaded the bones, the heavy sense of disappointment tore the heart into a lonely shape, and quietly landed in the white snow underground.

A Sheng obviously didn't want to give her any more attention, but out of the corner of his eye he was attracted by that stunning face.Huan Pei's flirtatious beauty and charming femininity complement each other perfectly, if it is increased by one point, it will be too strong, and if it is reduced by one point, it will be inferior.

Supported by her maid Qing Hua, Huan Pei bowed deeply to Cao Cao, leaned over and asked tenderly: "I wonder why Sikong called my concubine?"

"Mrs. Huan, you have to decide for my wife, Mrs. Sun Ji," Yun'er saw that Sun Ji had collapsed on the ground and trembled all over, with only Huan Pei in front of her eyes, so she hurriedly got up and grabbed the other party's skirt, crying hoarsely. ,

"You have to say something fair for us. There are villains with evil intentions who framed her for setting fire to Mrs. Bian, but you also know that we were all in your house last night, and the snow fell so heavily. How could we do such an outrageous thing!"

"That's right, why did you do such unreasonable things?" A Sheng glanced at Yun'er coldly, which made her shudder uncontrollably, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to talk to the indifferent A Sheng in front of her again. Look at each other.

But she cried louder and louder, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and kowtowed to Cao Cao: "Please, Sikong, please understand that Mrs. Bian has wronged us so blindly. We are really innocent but have no place to blame." Sue, and ask Sikong to clear Mrs. Sun Ji of all charges!"

Yun'er cried and mourned, Cao Cao gave a faint smile, and turned to Huan Pei: "Gu just wants to hear the truth."

She bowed slightly, looked straight at his cold gaze with a calm and beautiful face, and said slowly: "Sun Ji stayed in the concubine's wing last night, it is true. But the rest of the matter, you might as well leave it to the concubine." The maid made a statement to Sikong."

Her eyes pointed to Qing Hua who was standing aside, who nodded and stepped forward to knelt down gently towards Cao Cao, ignoring Yun'er's panicked expression, and said clearly: "I report to Sikong, I heard a small broken piece in the outer room when I was on the third watch." I was curious, so I went out to find out. I happened to see Mrs. Sun Ji’s personal maid, Yun’er, looking out with a basket full of things. The servant didn’t know what she was going to do, because it was already night, and the servant was too tired. After getting tired, I went back to my room to rest. Later, Mrs. Bian’s room caught fire. After hearing from the servant that the fire was extinguished, sulfur and kerosene were scattered all around. The servant guessed that Yun’er’s basket should contain Those kindlings are gone."

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Sun Ji, who was still kneeling on the ground trembling, jumped up, pointed at Huan Pei and screamed at Cao Cao: "Sikong Xiu listened to the nonsense of this lowly maidservant, and this matter was all planned by her!" Because, for fear of being exposed, she planted her spoils on the concubine alone. She is instructing the slaves to pour dirty water on the concubine, how can Sikong believe this with such a vicious heart?"

She swears like a shrew and loses her demeanor, but Huan Pei in that room is very calm and calm, raising her eyes slightly to look at Cao Cao: "Everything is decided by Sikong, Huan Pei has nothing to say now."

Cao Cao glanced at her casually, then signaled to the attendants beside him, and said, "Lock Sun Ji first, and everything will be handled according to Madam Bian's arrangement."

"Sikong, Master Sikong is discerning!" Sun Ji struggled to get rid of the guards, her voice was so loud that it startled the birds in the sky, "How can you believe this bitch's one-sided words, it's all because she wants to harm Mrs. Bian, concubine but……"

Her words became lower and lower, and finally she was directly drowned in the distance.

**

"Where are you going?" Seeing that A Sheng was about to walk out of the study, Cao Cao couldn't help stopping his pen to stop her.

"I'll go outside to relax." Ah Sheng's tone was very cold, making him wonder how he had offended her, and when he wanted to say something, she had disappeared.

The bazaar is very lively, it is a completely different world from Sikong Mansion.Children laughing and laughing on both sides of the street, chasing each other and frolicking, made her smile involuntarily.

A brightly colored cloth shop in front immediately attracted attention, and the breezy cloth and gauze attracted the eyes of many women, and Ah Sheng couldn't help but go to look at it.

There was a sky-blue silk scarf that was extremely eye-catching, with the word "Silk" written in a big cursive sign next to it.A Sheng picked it up and held it in his hand to look at it carefully. Although it is an inferior product with poor texture, the color is also restrained and reserved.

She had the idea of ​​buying it in her heart, so she couldn't help waving to the shopkeeper: "Boss, how do you sell this silk scarf?"

The boss glanced sideways, and impatiently compared the word "three": "It's not expensive, three hundred Wen."

"Just this tattered scarf that I don't even know if it's made of silk costs three hundred cash? Where's the black shop?" A Sheng frowned. He couldn't help but give the insatiable shop owner a hard look, and glared at him angrily.

The boss took half a step back from the vicious eyes, and he came back to his senses after a while, his mustache raised high: "Miss, you can't wrong the villain, this silk scarf was transported from Suzhou authentically, and it's all there. As long as my family has authentic silk, I still dig the meat and sell it at a low price for the three hundred Wen."

The tone is really blowing too much.

"Fuck, look at this shoddy texture, I'm afraid it wasn't made by tearing down old fishing nets. Where did you have the face to earn such black-hearted money?"

She was so angry that she continued to curse. At this time, a few girls and aunts gathered around to watch the fun. A Sheng simply pulled the blue scarf vigorously in front of the boss and everyone, and said: "If you believe it or not, you can rely on this fake!" Broken quality, this girl just needs to tear it lightly and it will crack."

Unexpectedly, she just pulled it casually, and the silk scarf actually made a "hiss", and it was really torn in two.

A Sheng was dumbfounded at the moment, she had no intention of pulling it casually to make a show, but who knew that the quality of the silk scarf was worse than she imagined, and it was damaged casually.

This time the boss got excited, and immediately twisted Ah Sheng's wrist, staring his small mouse-like eyes as vigorously as a copper bell, and shouted resolutely: "You ruined a piece of authentic silk in our shop!" Hurry up and pay me money! Three hundred cash, one penny is a lot, otherwise you won't even think about leaving!"

The foul stench was sprayed wantonly on A Sheng's face, she stomped on him unbearably, and loosened her wrist when he retracted his hand in pain, and raped him in a tone not to be outdone: " Do you dare to go with this girl to the government to make a judgment, to see if you cheated and blackmailed the good people and punished them severely, or this girl who tore up the fake goods and punished them severely?"

The idlers who were watching the fun were whispering and whispering, one aunt clicked twice and said to the son next to her: "Who dares to go to the government with that girl? According to the new law promulgated by Cao Sikong, whoever you meet The merchant dared to fool the common people, and he still beat him eighty times."

When the boss heard this, he naturally had his own plan in mind.

Rolling his eyeballs, he began to think in his heart: he must not fall into the swindle of this cunning woman. If he really wants to go to the government for judgment, his pile of fake silk and inferior goods must be burned.At that time, it will be a trivial matter if the business cannot continue. I don't know if this head will be saved.

But he didn't dare to show any timidity, so he could only continue to pretend to be calm, biting the bullet: "How dare you behave wildly in Lao Tzu's territory today? I don't care what kind of government and county office you are. If you want to renege on your debts in Lao Tzu's shop, you just run away? "

Ah Sheng saw an unreasonable rascal, but he couldn't shake it off like a piece of mud. When he was in a hurry and didn't dare to make a move, he saw a group of black-clothed school captains breaking into the door like the wind. He grabbed the shopkeeper aggressively and pressed him to the ground.

"We are under the order of Cao Sikong. This cloth shop will be closed immediately from now on. You must go to Dali Temple with us." The gold-plated token of the school government, announced the punishment to the shopkeeper with a deadpan face.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the word "Cao Sikong", he was so frightened that he collapsed and couldn't stand upright.

He didn't dare to have the courage to object, so he knelt down and bowed his head, kowtowed like garlic and begged: "Sikong, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me."

There was not even a trace of the hard-spoken aura just now, but now he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, crawling at the feet of the captains and trembling in fear, he was so nervous that he even lost control of his urine, and the onlookers couldn't help covering their noses looked at him with disgust.

"You offended Mrs. Sikong, and you still want to kill yourself?" A captain glanced at the shopkeeper contemptuously, and rushed to several people to tie him up. The rope immediately bound his fat and bloated body tightly, and he couldn't help screaming and wailing a few times. Voice.

"Take it away!" With a stern voice, the captain immediately turned around and bowed down to Ah Sheng humbly: "This subordinate greets Madam, Madam is really shocked."

Only then did Ah Sheng react from the scene of vigorous and vigorous actions in front of him, and just about to ask "How do you know—" the row of masters who came and went without a trace disappeared in an instant.

She regained her senses in a daze, but heard bursts of crying boys from the street outside, sometimes mixed with adults' venomous reprimands, and many people had already gathered around, pointing and starting to discuss.

A Sheng looked through the crowd, and saw a ragged little boy kneeling on the ground whimpering, while the strong man next to him was wearing gold and silver, looking like he was big and round.The boy cried louder and louder, and he stretched out his fists and sleeves to hit someone. The wolf-like look in his eyes made the boy tremble with fright.

Seeing more and more people around him, the stronger man became more and more enraged. He picked up the boy's collar and was about to punch him: "You dog slave, if you dare not shut up again, I will chop your hands into cripples!"

The thick fist was shaking in front of him, and the boy was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Ah Sheng panicked and wanted to stop him, not wanting anyone to move faster than her.

"Stop!" The clear and bright female voice rang out first, which was extremely abrupt in the indifference of the onlookers, and shocked the strong man.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help turning to the woman who saw the injustice on the road. Ah Sheng saw that she was wearing a bright water-red cloak, her jade-white skin was tender and clear, her clear eyes flowed like water, her vermilion lips were slightly red, and her eyebrows were slightly red. The room is full of liveliness and vigor, just like the blooming radishes in spring.

It was actually a bit like Tang Ling from before, with a clear and beautiful aura.

The brawny man obviously didn't expect to be stopped by a girl's family, and contempt immediately appeared on his face: "Who are you meddling in your own business? I teach my own slaves a lesson, what does it have to do with you?"

The girl in red opened her eyes wide, poked the strong man's forehead with her fingers, and said angrily: "You bully a child, do you want some face?"

"I just spent money to buy the servant, how can I train my own business, I want you to tell me what to do?" Seeing the situation, the strong man picked up the whip and beat the boy. Make a crashing sound.

Under the tattered clothes of the boy, there were already many scars. It was freezing deep winter, but he was only wearing a thin autumn coat, with blue-purple scars all over his body wantonly.

The red-clothed girl's heart tightened, and she couldn't help shouting: "Do you dare to do it again?"

The brawny man spat viciously, squinted and sneered, "Who are you, dare to order me around?"

The girl in red immediately became anxious, and blurted out: "My lord... this girl is..." Halfway through the sentence, she hesitated, as if she had something to say and couldn't say it.

"Tell me, if your family is a high-ranking official above the third grade, I will immediately kneel down and call you mother!" Seeing her hesitation, the strong man guessed that she must not be able to make it up, and shouted at the girl with his head held high.

"This girl, this girl is," the girl in red seemed to muster up her courage, looking straight into the strong man's eyes and condescendingly looking at him, the arrogance and arrogance in her eyes were as sharp as a blade, "The wife of Guo Fengxiao, the military commander who sacrificed wine."

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers immediately exploded.

"Guo Jijiu is a big celebrity in front of Sikong, he can control a person's life and death with a single word!"

"That's right, if you offend Guo Jijiu, you'll have good fruit to eat!"

How could the strong man not know this thunderous name, Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao, this is a person who would not dare to provoke him with a hundred guts!

He couldn't help but carefully looked at the girl in front of him, only to find that she was dressed in extravagance all over her body, and the beaded hairpin on top of her head was radiant and eye-catching. At first glance, she was from a rich or noble family, so he had to believe her identity .

The brawny man was in discord with the governor, so he left the boy alone and left in a despondent manner.

The girl in red hurriedly hugged the little boy into her arms, comforting softly, "Don't be afraid, he's gone." She took off the purse from her waist, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear Something, rubbed the boy's head and let him go.

"Young lady is so brave, I really admire you." The girl in red was about to turn around and leave when a man's slow voice suddenly sounded out.

She looked in surprise, and saw a man in green shirt leaning against a snow-covered wintersweet tree, with a smile like a moon appearing on his handsome face, which was both cold and human-like.

With a flick of the long sleeve, the black folding fan opened with a "wow". If an ordinary boy made such an action, it would appear frivolous, but this man did not seem to be offensive at all.

He was dressed in a light blue shirt, his long jet-black hair spread down his shoulders, and the jade-white headband made him look more elegant and graceful, instantly attracting the envious eyes of many passing women.

"Which family is this son, so handsome."

"I've never seen such a fairy-like figure before." A young girl covered her face with her sleeve and praised her companion, without hiding her admiration.

After the girl in red heard the man's slow praise, she turned around impatiently, and was stunned for a moment after recognizing his face.

There was a surprised light in his eyes, and he stopped involuntarily, staring at the man in front of him nakedly, and stood there motionless.

"Who are you?" It took a long time for her to realize her gaffe, wiped the smirk from the corner of her mouth, regained that haughty and casual expression, and asked with squinted eyes.

It is better to say that it is questioning than asking.The domineering tone in the tone made passers-by look sideways, but seeing her expensive attire, they dared not go forward to provoke her for fear of being a lady.

But the man smiled without thinking, and blinked quietly at the girl in red, like a bird's wings passing over a quiet pond, inadvertently brushing away half of the ripples.

"Me," he held back the smile in his throat, and replied solemnly, "Miss is so forgetful, this is your unmarried husband."
