Taoyao Order

Chapter 31
Just listen to him continue to say unhurriedly: "When and how did you see her enter the Zi Ling Pavilion? Tell the truth in detail."

The man said quickly: "I'm not lying! I followed her all the way from Shise Village. At almost noon, I watched her stumble into the gate of Ziling Pavilion. Your servants stopped her and questioned her. It took a long time to let her in! If you don’t believe me, you can ask your doorman.”

When Manager Qiu heard this, he just smiled at him lovingly and said, "Since you are so swearing, I think what you said is probably true."

Manager Qiu raised his head and said to Wu Qing: "The witnesses you found saw with your own eyes that it was not our Ziling Pavilion that kidnapped your daughter, but your daughter. Why didn't she keep her filial piety at home and actually escaped all the way from your village to Ziling Pavilion?" , what is going on, can you explain it to all of us? "

Wu Qing's family was speechless for a moment, hemming and hawing, their eyes wandering, and everyone began to point at them.

Mrs. Zhuo knew that she was in the wrong, and now she no longer argued with them. She just said: "No matter what happens in our family, it is our family's housework, and you Zi Ling Pavilion has nothing to do with it! Hand over my daughter quickly!" "

The following tenants also stretched out their arms and legs and shouted, almost getting in Steward Qiu's face.

Manager Qiu took out the deed of betrayal given by Tao Yao and said, "I don't know if Wu Yan is your daughter, but I have a deed of betrayal here, and it is clearly written in it. , Wu Yan is a domestic slave of our Ziling Pavilion Miss Tao's family. Since she has an owner, her parents have no right to control her when she comes or goes, so they can file a lawsuit with the government. Unless you redeem her body, otherwise, you are Can’t take it away.”

When Wu Qing heard this, he was in disbelief: "No way, what are you talking about? How could our daughter sell herself?"

Mrs. Zhuo had already stepped forward to snatch the prostitution contract from Manager Qiu's hand.

Manager Qiu handed the deed of sale to the shopkeeper and asked him to hold it for them to look at carefully. He said leisurely: "Here is the deed, and Wu Yan's signature handprint is also on it. If you don't believe it, you can get it from the house." Yamen, let Master check it out."

Wu Qing and Wu Yan's uncle Wang Zuochang both came forward and looked at the black and white writing on the paper. It said that Wu Yan sold herself to the Tao family as a slave for 100 taels of silver. The black and white writing on the paper was clear and clear.

Mrs. Zhuo shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible, call girl Yan to come out and confront her! You are adding insult to injury and forcing a good girl into prostitution!"

Manager Qiu had already taken back the deed of betrayal from the shopkeeper, folded it up slowly, and said, "Are you adding insult to injury and forcing a girl into prostitution? The witness you have found is the clearest witness. Our Zi Ling Pavilion originally did not let her in. She had to ask for it and finally got in.

I have said before that unless you redeem her life, you will never be able to see your daughter again in this life. "

"Me! I'm going to the government office to sue you!" Mrs. Zhuo shouted.

Manager Qiu had already put away the folded deed in a leisurely manner, and said: "You go now, Zi Ling Pavilion is waiting for the official summons."

As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. They, the common people, are not the opponents of Zi Ling Pavilion in the first place. In the past, they only wanted to return to their own daughter, which is reasonable, so they came to make a scene and invite some people to watch the fun. Due to public opinion, maybe Zi Ling Pavilion will hand over the person.But now that the situation is like this, it has lost the hearts of the people. If it really goes to the government, the Wu family and the Wang family have no chance of winning against Zi Ling Pavilion.

Zhuo and Wu Qing were still arguing, but Wang Zuochang stopped them and said: "Brother-in-law, please be patient. There may be a misunderstanding here. Although our Xiaoyan is not the daughter of a noble family, she is from a wealthy family. Why? Will you sell yourself off easily? This is unjustifiable, but we have been out for most of the day now, so let’s go back and make a thorough calculation first, and then we’ll talk about the rest.”

Wu Qing glanced at Wang Zuochang, and then at Manager Qiu who was sitting here. He knew that he would not be able to take advantage of him today, so he might as well retreat for the time being so that he could make plans for the future.Then he swallowed a deep breath and waved everyone back.

However, Mrs. Zhuo was still eager to give it a try. She only wished that their men would not quarrel and act violently. She was defeated in just a few words: "Why do you just leave like this? What about the house? Don't you want it?"

Wu Qing pulled Zhuo and whispered: "How is it possible? Let's leave someone to guard the door of Zi Ling Pavilion. I don't believe she can hide in Zi Ling Pavilion for the rest of her life.

And the deed of sale said that he was bought as a slave from some Tao family. I had heard Xiaoyan talk about that girl before, and the one who lived in the same house with her was just a little girl from some county, not What a powerful family.

It was probably Xiaoyan who told her about the land deed. She was greedy for the land deed, so she did this to Xiaoyan, coaxing her into not only giving her the house, but also buying her a wife. It was simply unreasonable!
Hum, we can't afford to offend Zi Ling Pavilion, how can we still afford to offend that little girl?She has to spit out everything she eats!When will it be their turn to divide our house? "

There was a lot of commotion in the front pavilion of Ziling Pavilion, and the Wu and Wang families finally retreated.Later, Taoyao was still talking to Zheng Qiaoyan in her room. Zheng Qiaoyan was very angry after hearing what happened at Wu Yan's family: "How can such a family exist! There is no good person in this family!"

Tao Yao advised her to stay calm and said: "Now that we have the contract in our hands, we should be able to keep Xiao Yan. I'm afraid that those people in their family are not willing to let it go. I will leave today and come back in two days." If Zi Ling Pavilion is in trouble, it will be bad if it affects Zi Ling Pavilion's business.

Master Liu was so angry today that he came here to find Xiaoyan himself. "

Zheng Qiaoyan said: "You are kind-hearted and helped her accept it."

Tao Yao smiled and said: "I'm just trying my best, but now I want to ask you for help. See if you can mention it to your father. If the Wu family people come to cause trouble again, they will be arrested for provoking trouble. Get up and teach them a lesson, and if the government government comes forward, they can always be restrained, which can also be considered as helping Master Liu solve the problem."

When Zheng Qiaoyan heard that she could help Zi Ling Pavilion solve the problem and get Master Liu to express his love, she was naturally willing. Moreover, for the Hangzhou magistrate, it was her duty.Now that Tao Yao still has the deed of betrayal in his hand, they are all acting in a fair and reasonable manner, but it's just a piece of cake.

Zheng Qiaoyan responded: "Okay, I will talk to my father when I get back. I will also go and tell Master Liu and Manager Qiu in a while. If I see them coming here again to cause trouble, I will send people directly to the prefect's Yamen to find the officers to arrest them. That’s it.”
