Isn't this melon too sweet? !

Cheating people is already too much. Cheating the elderly is even more outrageous.

Xu Yanmiao did not tell her mother-in-law that she was cheated. She planned to bring the cheater to justice and then tell the truth in one breath. In this way, before her mother-in-law gets angry, she will know that the cheater has been sent to prison, and she will definitely be in a good mood!

Having made up his mind, Xu Yanmiao flipped through the system and found the corresponding gossip, and identified the culprit: "Huh?"

Grandma asked worriedly: "What's the matter? Is there any trouble?"

Xu Yanmiao lied: "I just saw a cat sitting on the wall of your yard, and now it ran away. But I think its eyes are the same color as my lion cat's eyes - Grandma, I'll go and have a look!"

After that, he stood up and ran away pretending to be excited.

And shocked in his heart: [Selling fakes... Why is it you, Yaozu! ]

*

Xu Yanmiao soon saw Yaozu again... Oh no, it was Jiabao.

He never thought that he would see him not in Luo County, but in front of the Dengwen drum.

Yes, he knocked the Dengwen drum again. Only he came this time, not his whole family.

"Dong, Dong, Dong--"

In the palace, the old emperor heard the drumbeats and looked suspicious: "Why are there so many grievances that are not handled locally recently?"

Is it that his previous killing of retired officials was not intimidating enough? Is there anyone who dares to go against the wind and harm the people?

The prince: "Dad, you sprained your waist, I will take responsibility for this." The

old emperor was overjoyed, wishing he could sprain his waist every day: "Okay! You supervise the country! Start supervising today!"

The prince: "Dad, I asked the imperial physician when you will get better."

So don't think about leaving the country to me, I will leave the dragon chair as soon as you get better!

The old emperor: "Get out!"

"As ordered!"

*

The court was opened, and the prince was shocked: "Why you again?"

Jiabao knelt respectfully, holding the petition in his outstretched hands: "Your Majesty!"

- He had no idea that the person above was the prince.

Someone quickly corrected him: "The person above is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiabao immediately changed his words: "Your Highness!" He stood still, still a little scared: "I want to sue the Marquis of Luoshui County, she is shielding false gifts!"

Xie Luoshui, who was among the military officers, had never thought that it would be her turn this time. She blinked slowly, but she was not afraid.

With her achievements in recovering potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, as long as she didn't get carried away and run to collude with the enemy and commit treason, she could generally get away with other charges.

And...

"When did I shield false gifts?"

[Huh? When did Xie Xianhou cover up false accusations?

Two voices rang out one after another.

Most of the civil and military officials could only hear the latter one, but that was enough.

"No way..." An official stared at Jiabao with a strange look on his face: "Is it another false accusation? Doesn't this guy have some kind of quirk?"

He was not punished for the previous false accusation, but it happened again after more than a month? He must punish himself?

"Could it be that this guy also has a masochistic fetish?"

Many people thought of this situation and looked at Meng Yushi reflexively. Meng Yushi was also stunned for a moment, his spirits boiling, and he looked at Jiabao with expectation.

Could it be that we are really like-minded? !

- Do you like to be beaten too?

The prince's eyes sparkled, and his whole body exuded the aura of eating melon: "You said that Xie County Marquis protected the fraud, what exactly happened, tell me?"

The man said: "A group of women came to Luo County, living together, and not getting married. At first they planted mulberry and raised silkworms to weave silk cloth, and later they started selling cloth. At first I saw that they were women, and their lives were not easy without men, so I went to their house more often to buy cloth - well, the most important thing was that after my father died, my mother was worried about supporting the family. Although she could weave cloth, many weaving rooms were full and she was not accepted. "She couldn't find a job, so these women took her in. I just wanted to take care of their business."

As he spoke, his face showed dissatisfaction: "But the cloth they sold me only looks good on the surface. In fact, it is painted with oil powder and glue, and is inferior to good ones."

The prince nodded: "So what does this have to do with Xie County Marquis? Then why don't you go to the local county government to file a complaint, but instead file a complaint over the

head?" And he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Your mother goes to weave cloth, and you go to buy cloth and take care of her business. This is something only a sick person would do, right?

Jiabao was so excited that his face turned red, and he almost stood up: "The previous magistrate of Luo County was dismissed, and the new magistrate has not yet taken office. When I went to the county government, the county magistrate refused to accept the case when he heard that Xie County Marquis had a private relationship with those women. I had no choice but to come and file a complaint!"

[Ah? But this has nothing to do with Xie Luoshui, right? How did he interpret the county magistrate's refusal to accept the case as Xie County Marquis shielding the bribery? ]

[I checked, and the government did not summon those girls to court. If anything, it was because the county magistrate of Luo County felt that Xie County Marquis was very friendly with those girls and thought that he would shield them, so he didn't want to confront a marquis, right? ]

Tsk.

The prince and all the officials lost interest.

It turned out to be another rotten melon.

Why does this family like to convict others based on their imagination? All the high-ranking people in the world will rely on their status to oppress the people and bully their family maliciously, right?

The prince said listlessly: "Oh, is that so? Do you have any evidence?"

"Yes!" Jiabao was still holding up the complaint: "I brought the cloth, and the cloth was bought from those women! You can see that it was painted with oil powder and glue!"

[No.] Xu Yanmiao exposed his past again: [This thing was obviously shipped from other places by you, and you sold a lot of it, and it was still a high price...ah, speaking of this, I get angry just thinking about it. My mother-in-law is such a good person, but I still sell her fake goods. Bullying the elderly is shameless!]

The others were stunned.

Mother-in-law? Who is it?

Only the left army deputy governor, this eight-foot-tall man, clenched his fists.

That's my mother!!!

This bastard cheated my mother? !

He jumped out and said in a sinister tone: "Oh, you said you bought it from those weavers? They were so open and aboveboard. They sold you rags and kept accounts for you honestly. It was easy for them to be caught? Why didn't I meet such good people when I bought water-injected meat before?"

Jiabao immediately became nervous: "I, I have witnesses! Many people saw me buying the cloth!"

The deputy governor of the left army squinted his eyes, with a high-handed and arrogant look, deliberately provoking people: "Really? Who knows if you took it back and replaced it with bad cloth to deliberately deceive people?"

[Wow! Deputy Li actually guessed it right! 】

Left Army Vice Governor: )

Jiabao was indeed irritated by this attitude, and was angry and annoyed: "I would never help my mother's store to make trouble even if I cheated her!"

The Left Army Vice Governor paused.

It seems... is this the truth?

The main thing is that he really has a mother, and he is really filial to her.

When Jiabao saw that he was silent, he immediately looked down on this senior official: "Do you still have any doubts?"

The deputy commander of the left army muttered something, and then said: "If the local government does not accept it, you can go to the supervisory official to complain. What's your intention to beat the drum right away? Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, and you still have to take time out to check whether your cloth has been bought with fakes. This is too much work!"

In fact, what he said was right. Generally speaking, the drum can't be beaten for everything. In other words, skipping the level to report, in any dynasty, is not something that can be easily supported.

But...

Jiabao straightened his chest.

When his uncle was telling him a story before, he mentioned one thing, and he remembered it clearly: "But your majesty loves the people like his own children! In the sixth year of Tiantong, a commoner rang the drum to report that his servant had lost his pig! Not only did your majesty not blame the commoner for making a fuss, he also gave him a thousand dollars! Are you saying that your majesty did something wrong!"

The deputy governor of the left army was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing.

He really forgot about this matter just now.

[There is such a thing? ! ] Xu Yanmiao stood up all of a sudden: [Let me look through. It really is true! The old emperor is really generous this time. ] The

old emperor, who was far away in his bedroom: "?"

Why did you suddenly compliment me?

But he immediately followed up with: "What do you mean by rare generosity? I have always been generous!"

[I always feel that this shouldn't be the case. ]

[Let me look through...]

[Hahahahahahahahaha! So that's how it is!】

The Crown Prince and all the civil and military officials were also stunned.

So that's how it is? ! Is

the real melon coming!

【At that time, Ji Sui wanted to abolish the slavery system, and first of all, he had to let people treat slaves as human beings. In the previous dynasties, if someone privately beat a domestic slave to death who had not committed a crime, the punishment would be completed by doing a year of labor. And if the domestic slave was guilty, such as stealing something from the master's family, the master did not report it to the authorities, but beat him to death in private, and he only needed to be caned 100 times to atone for the crime. And the government usually beat him lightly - if you gave money, you didn't even have to be beaten!】

【Just in time, this perfect case appeared in front of Ji Sui - the master sued the domestic slave, instead of lynching him himself. 】

【Then he advised the old emperor to treat the servants as ordinary people. If ordinary people lost someone else's pig, they only needed to compensate for the loss. 】

【The servants had no money, so Ji Sui paid 980 yuan himself. The old emperor saw that he didn't pay anything, so he was afraid of being accused of being stingy, so he also paid 20 copper coins, and told the outside world that the thousand yuan was given by the emperor. 】

【Hahahahahahaha——】

【Incredible! 】

【It's really incredulous! 】

The old emperor: "..."

If you had told me this earlier, I would have shut up.

And! What the hell are you doing? Why do you involve me again? ! You even want to dig up some old and rotten things! Don't you think it's too much! The prince and the civil and military officials didn't think so

.

They were very happy eating melons.

And he said: Sure enough, the melons served by Xiao Bai Ze are still the sweetest! The ones that come to the door on their own are all rotten melons!

All rotten melons!!!

I'm talking about you, a certain Yaozu!

The prince said unhappily: "I thought you had some evidence. You just relied on conjecture to accuse Xie County Marquis of shielding false gifts?"

As for what happened to his father just now... well, there is no way to refute it, just skip it!

Jiabao's eyes rolled, and he showed off his little cleverness: "Reporting to Your Highness, it's not a conjecture. This is what the county magistrate meant by the words at that time. Let me ask, if Xie County Marquis would not do this, why would the county magistrate be so afraid?"

Conclusion: He is innocent. He is just an ordinary citizen. It is normal for him to be fooled by the county magistrate.

Xu Yanmiao felt very strange: [Why did he have to do this? He was the one who sold fake goods. Isn’t he afraid of being discovered? ]

[Oh! ]

[Found it. It turned out that after his father died, he spent money recklessly and lost all his family property. His mother found a job and ran away with his nine sisters. He hated his mother for not taking him with her, so he must shut down her store. ]

[What a born bad seed. ]

[Wow! ! ! ]

[No wonder he’s not afraid! He became the lover of a high-ranking official, and he thought the high-ranking official would protect him! ]

[Wait? What about his uncle-in-law? ]

[Fuck! ]

[Both of them? ! ]

Prince: What? ? ?

Civil and military officials: pupils tremble.

Is this melon too sweet? !

Sure enough, the good things are all behind!

Hurry up! Go on, go on!

The prince sat up straight. All the civil and military officials were alert.

Which official was it! Quick! Tell us! Who made it so exciting? It must be intentional! He must have known that the uncle and nephew were having an affair, so he did it for both!

Xu Yanmiao!!!
