Chapter 61: The Grand Tutor Supports You
That government office belongs to the Dali Temple, and Li Jiaojiao is still unaware of their drastic measures.
Seeing that the government office was still trying to stop her, Li Jiaojiao immediately felt uncomfortable: "How dare you offend the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion?"
"If you dare to provoke the constable again, don't blame us for detaining you." The government official was ruthless and swung a pair of iron handcuffs in his hand.
"You!" Li Jiaojiao was embarrassed.
Zhou Yan came over and said with some difficulty: "Jiaojiao, you are suspected by the Dali Temple of smoking a banned cigarette. You can't be released until the suspicion is cleared. You have to understand."
Li Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment: "No! I didn't smoke! I didn't smoke!"
She begged again in a coquettish manner: "Cousin, can you take me home? I'm not used to it here. There are a lot of men and women who smoke and they look bad. I'm a little scared."
Zhou Yan didn't directly say that Master Wen was being disrespectful to him. He only said, "Although you are from the Marquis' Mansion, you can't use the backdoor. We in the Marquis' Mansion must do things in an upright manner."
Li Jiaojiao's face suddenly turned pale and she became nervous. After all, she knew better than anyone whether she smoked or not.
Li Jiaojiao held her forehead with her hand, her face pale as she said, "Cousin, I feel a little uncomfortable in my head. Please talk to Master Wen..."
It's not that Zhou Yan doesn't want to do it, it's that he can't do it. Zhou Yan clenched his fist slightly and looked at Su Luo: "Luo'er, have you told the master yet?"
Why is it Su Luo again? Li Jiaojiao felt a bad premonition and hostility rising in her heart.
Su Luo sighed: "Even the prince couldn't persuade the tutor, let alone me. The prince may not think too highly of my reputation."
Li Jiaojiao felt disappointed, and she thought that the prince might not be omnipotent.
Zhou Yan clenched his fist and coughed, feeling embarrassed in front of Li Jiaojiao. "Taifu Wen has always been unkind. This is a well-known fact."
"Who said I'm unkind?" Wen Zixi came over with the list.
Zhou Yan's face froze, and his throat choked slightly. "I was just joking with my cousin, Master, please don't take it to heart."
Wen Zixi glanced at him indifferently.
Zhou Yan felt a little intimidated by this look. After all, the Grand Tutor had many disciples. Although his power was not as overwhelming as that of the Regent, they could still determine his official career. After all, his direct superior, the Governor, also had to please the Grand Tutor.
"This is your cousin." Wen Zixi's cold eyes fell on Li Jiaojiao.
Li Jiaojiao stood behind Zhou Yan, shyly lifted her hair, lowered her head, and put on an innocent look.
There was suddenly a hint of disgust in Wen Zixi's eyes: "Catch her."
Next engraved—
The government official walked over with handcuffs in hand and wanted to lock up Li Jiaojiao.
Li Jiaojiao was startled and subconsciously grabbed Zhou Yan's arm, hiding behind him like a little woman: "Cousin, I'm scared."
At this point, she could only pretend to be pitiful and win Zhou Yan's sympathy, so as to disrupt Zhou Yan's judgment and make Zhou Yan protect her.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether they sentence her to a smoking ban or not. As long as Zhou Yan doesn’t believe that she should quit smoking, she can maintain her image in front of Zhou Yan, and she can be in love with Zhou Yan, maintain their relationship, and maintain their wealth and glory.
Wen Zixi coldly looked at Li Jiaojiao and Su Luo who were in close contact. Suddenly, for a moment, he felt Su Luo's difficulties...
Su Luo was trafficked to a brothel. As her husband, Zhou Yan did not care about her at the first time. Instead, he was held by his cousin's arm and protected his cousin. He was a bastard who couldn't tell who was more important, his wife or his cousin.
Wen Zixi lost Wen Ya for the first time in his life, and his voice was extremely cold: "Arrest Li."
Zhou Yan immediately extended his arms to protect Li Jiaojiao, his expression sullen as he said, "Master Wen, how could you do this? Jiaojiao doesn't smoke banned cigarettes. What evidence do you have to prove that she does? You are acting as the Supreme Court Justice, so you should know the law."
"You're talking to me about laws?" Wen Zixi's eyes turned cold instantly!
There was an ambiguous and sarcastic smile on Su Luo's lips.
Wen Zixi looked at Su Luo and nodded slightly to her, as if to say that he would protect her.
Zhou Yan's expression also became serious.
Wen Zixi waved.
The Dali Temple Secretary came over, grabbed the shopkeeper who was selling banned cigarettes, and pointed at Li Jiaojiao and asked, "Have you seen this woman? Has she ever bought banned cigarettes from you?"
Li Jiaojiao looked at him nervously, with pitiful pleading in her eyes.
Because Li Jiaojiao was usually very generous to the shopkeeper and would occasionally give him tips, the shopkeeper was quite loyal. He stammered and said, "I haven't bought anything."
"So she showed up in the basement of the silversmith shop, either smoking the banned cigarettes or being arrested by you? In that case, her crime is aggravated." Wen Zixi said indifferently, "Aggravated crime means an additional three years in prison."
Upon hearing that the sentence would be extended by three years, the shopkeeper's legs instantly weakened. Amidst Li Jiaojiao's eager anticipation, he immediately changed his expression: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Sir Wen, my eyes were blurry just now. I saw wrongly. Isn't this the cousin of the Marquis' Mansion? She's very generous. Every time she comes, she buys at least several hundred taels of banned tobacco!"
Li Jiaojiao's face suddenly changed, tears immediately streaming down her face. She cried to Zhou Yan, "My cousin is framing me to get away with it! Boss, what good is it for you to drag me into this? You can't be so vicious!"
Suddenly, Li Jiaojiao saw Su Luo standing next to the shopkeeper with a slightly raised lip. She was so angry that she started to slander him, "Cousin, my sister-in-law has always disliked me. Maybe she bribed the shopkeeper to harm me..."
Li Jiaojiao was just trying to make trouble and deny her subjective responsibility. She cried and asked Su Luo, "Sister-in-law, why did you want to hurt me? I usually treat you with respect and treat you so well..."
Mo Jin also walked over slowly.
Su Luo was really baffled and said speechlessly: "Are you crazy?"
Frame him in front of Master Wen!
