Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Chapter 145 A big drama

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a servant came over with a large group of guests.

"My Lords, today I ask you all to come here as witnesses. The wife of Minister Song has been slandering General Zhao at will. I ask you all to come here to help bear witness."

Lord Song looked at the crying Madam Song with a confused look on his face?

What's going on? Mrs. Song? My wife?

What happened to my wife?

Oh. Slandering General Zhao.

General Zhao!!!

Has my wife gone insane?

He pulled Mrs. Song over with an anxious look on his face.

"What did you do?"

"Master, the General's Mansion is plotting to ruin my daughter's reputation and has hired servants to humiliate her. You must stand up for her!"

"What are you talking about, woman? Shut up!"

After hearing what Mrs. Song said, Lord Song became anxious and slapped Mrs. Song in the face.

Mrs. Song covered her face. If she bit madly today, she might have a chance to survive. Otherwise, if the matter was exposed, she would be in trouble.

You have to go all the way to the end.

"Master! I am not talking nonsense. My daughter is in that room right now. She was... raped by the servant of the general's mansion. The general's mansion is powerful and the servant relied on the general's support to do such a despicable thing. For the sake of my daughter, you must report him to His Majesty! Master!"

Mrs. Song held Mr. Song's hand tightly and shouted hoarsely.

"Everyone has seen that Madam Song has been making false accusations against my eldest brother. In order to clear his name, we must interrogate him in public."

Zhao Yuanzhen went straight forward and opened the door. By then the smell of the aphrodisiac had almost dissipated.

The two of them were done too, and their minds were slowly becoming clear. They saw someone pushing the door, and they quickly screamed and covered themselves with the quilt.

"You two have half a quarter of an hour to get dressed and come out, or else the door will be left open."

Zhao Yuanzhen said this and closed the door.

Everyone followed and waited.

Zhao Yuanzhen heard the rustling sound of centimeters and nodded with satisfaction.

When the time comes, open the door.

The servant came out first and knelt directly in front of Zhao Yuanlan.

Miss Song refused to come out, so Zhao Yuanzhen walked over, carried her out, and put the truth talisman on her.

I didn't expect that this truth talisman was so useful. Before Zhao Yuanzhen could ask, Miss Song started talking like popping beans.

"Dad, please save my daughter! My mother said that she bribed the servants in the general's mansion and would bring General Zhao here. She lit incense in the room in advance. I saw a good opportunity and came in too. This way, I can make it a done deal with General Zhao and he will have to marry my daughter."

"Nonsense, daughter, don't be afraid, tell me the truth, was it the servant from the general's mansion who forced you?"

"Mother, what are you talking about? Didn't you give the servant 50 taels of silver to bribe him? You also told me that you personally bought this aphrodisiac incense at a high price in Yihonglou, and it is guaranteed to be effective. Mother, don't you remember? Father, please save your daughter!"

"You...you two bitches, what did you do? How could my Song family produce two bitches like you? I want to divorce my wife and break off the relationship."

"Dad, you're the one who said it. You said that although Zhao Yuanlan is a little older, he's rich and powerful, and he's loved by the emperor. He has no parents, and if he marries me, I'll have the final say in the entire general's mansion. I must find a way to marry him no matter what."

"Nonsense, complete nonsense!"

Lord Song was so angry that he jumped up and down! What a fool!

"My daughter, you don't have to listen to him. You should know that it was the servant who was ordered by General Zhao who forced you. Otherwise, how could such a big general's mansion be such a place without rules? A servant dared to force the official's daughter. There must be someone backing the general."

"Come here, search the servant!"

Zhao Yuanzhen asked someone to search the servant first.

Sure enough, a silver note was found on the servant.

There was indeed a ticket number on the silver note.

The butler took the silver note and sent someone to the money shop to inquire which bank had issued the note.

He also asked someone to invite the brothel's madam.

When the servant saw that the truth was revealed, he kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"Please, General, spare my life. It was all because of this lady. She threatened me and said that if her daughter became the general's wife, she would promote me and I would be able to rise to prominence. She was not afraid that the matter would be exposed and I would be implicated. As a mistress, she would definitely be able to protect my life. I was blinded by money for a moment. Please, General, spare my life."

"That's what my mother said. She said that as long as I became the general's wife, this huge general's mansion would be mine. My mother said that even if the truth came out, Zhao Yuanlan would have to marry me. Although the shame was temporary, the wealth and glory would last a lifetime. She instigated me. The servant she bought had nothing to do with me."

"Shut up, you idiot. It was obviously the general who ordered people to force you."

Mrs. Song was still biting.

After more than 40 minutes, the servant brought back the brothel madam and the people from the money house.

"Take a closer look, is this the love incense she bought from you?"

The madam looked at Mrs. Song.

"Yes, it's her. I won't make a mistake. This is the first female customer that has come to my shop since I opened it. I won't make a mistake."

The madam said with certainty that in the morning, not long after she had fallen asleep, someone knocked on her door and stuffed money into her pocket, asking to see her. For the sake of the money, she reluctantly got up. It was this woman who wanted to buy the aphrodisiac in their building.

If it weren't for the fact that she gave so much, she wouldn't want to bother with her.

So I have a deep impression of this woman and I won't remember her wrongly.

The owner of the money shop also came over with the silver note and the account book.

"This ticket number corresponds to the ticket number of the silver note exchanged by the Song Mansion last month. It is all recorded here, you can see it."

The owner of the bank showed everyone the banknotes and the page of the account book.

After Zhao Yuanlan and Zhao Yuanzhen looked at it, they showed the account book to the adults present, as they were all witnesses.

"Come here, go to the government office and report to the authorities that someone has framed an official of the imperial court."

"Yes, Miss."

Zhao Yuanzhen directly sent someone to report to the police, saying that this matter could not be resolved by themselves.

"Well, I'm here, Miss."

A young man stood up from the crowd, raised his hand and touched his nose.

"This is Lord Wang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."

Zhao Yuanlan secretly explained to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Hello, Lord Wang. It happens that Lord Wang is here too and has watched the whole show. Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wang."

"Well, it's not hard, but I'll have to trouble someone from your mansion to help me bring the person back to the government office."

"Yes, Lord Wang."

Zhao Yuanlan ordered the housekeeper to help take Madam Song, her daughter, the bribed servant, and Lord Song to the yamen. He also blocked Madam Song's mouth to prevent her from making a scene and committing suicide by hanging herself.

Seeing the actors being taken away, the audience felt that the show was no longer fun.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to my house today to congratulate me. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? I am really sorry to have ruined your fun."

Zhao Yuanlan looked at the group of onlookers and decided to send them away.

"What did General Zhao say? This is all Madam Song's fault. It was her ambition that ruined Mr. Song's housewarming party. It has nothing to do with General Zhao. General Zhao does not need to feel guilty."

"That's right, General Zhao, there's no need to apologize. It's all Lord Song's fault."

"Yes!"

"that is!"

A group of echoing voices.

"Thank you all for your trust. I am very grateful. I will definitely host a banquet for you when I have time in the future."

I don’t know if I will have time in the future, but I won’t keep you here today, so let’s go quickly.

"General Zhao, you are welcome. We have something else to do in the mansion. We will take our leave first. If you have time in the future, please come to the mansion for a chat."

"that is!"

"Yes, I will take my leave now."

Everyone also saw what Zhao Yuanlan meant, and tactfully said goodbye.

Zhao Yuanlan sent them away one by one.

Come back to find Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Little sister, you guys stay in the mansion today. I've asked the housekeeper to clean up your yard. I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor and report today's events. You stay in the mansion for now and wait for me to come back."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhao Yuanzhen: Lord Song, Madam Song, you two are finished. My brother has filed a complaint. The emperor will surely issue an order to search your home.

Zhang Xinbai and Zhang Xinnian, as well as Qian Xiaohui and Li Zhijuan were all ready to go back.

There are still a lot of things waiting for them in the shop at home. They always feel uncomfortable in their uncle's house, so it is better to go back.

Zhao Yuanzhen sent them onto the carriage and returned.

"Miss, please come this way. I will take you to your yard."

The housekeeper followed Zhao Yuanlan's instructions and took Zhao Yuanzhen to her yard.

"Well, let's go."

It took more than 20 minutes to arrive.

"Look, Miss, this is your yard. The one next door belongs to the general. When he renovated it, he ordered this yard to be yours."

When Zhao Yuanlan was renovating the house, he reserved the best courtyard other than the main courtyard for Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Well, okay, I'll go around by myself, you go ahead and do your work."

"Yes, Miss, you can call me anytime if you need anything."

The butler bowed and left respectfully.

This is a sanheyuan. There are no houses in the front row, but there are houses on the left and right sides of the middle.

There are many flowers, plants and trees planted in the yard.

There are also two pots of lotus flowers. Zhao Yuanzhen took a look at the flowers and plants, and found that they were not as complete and beautiful as those in her own garden.

However, every flower and grass can be seen to be carefully arranged.

Push open the door of the main hall and you will enter the main room. On the right is the master bedroom, which is designed with a bed.

It is fully equipped with an exquisitely crafted step-out bed, a Luohan bed, a desk, a screen, etc., almost the same as the furnishings in one's own room.

It is possible that the eldest brother copied it according to his own room.

I looked at several other rooms and found that they were basically decorated very similarly to my own house.

There was nothing to do, so Zhao Yuanzhen planned to take a look around the general's mansion.

This mansion was bestowed by the old emperor.

The house covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres and adopts the unique Hui style of architectural garden design.

Every detail here shows the unique charm and exquisite craftsmanship of Hui style architecture.

Walking into the house, you will see the exquisite carved beams and painted buildings. Craftsmen use their skilled techniques to carve wood into various shapes and carefully paint patterns on them. These patterns are either flowers, birds, fish, insects, or characters from myths and legends, which are lifelike.

In addition, there are many unique flower landscapes in the park.

The terrain is cleverly utilized and the layout is staggered.

Some are small and exquisite rockery, covered with exotic flowers and plants; others are crystal clear pools with colorful koi swimming in the water.

Walking through it, you feel like you are in a beautiful painting.
