Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

The most eye-catching things at the gate of Fuyuan County Government Office are the two stone lions, which are as tall as a person and look up with their heads held high, looking very majestic!

A black plaque hung high on the vermilion door frame of the county government office, with four large gold-plated characters on it - Fuyuan County Government Office.

There are two red pillars on both sides of the gate, with a couplet inscribed on them in gold-plated characters on a black background.

Diagonally in front of the couplet is a grievance drum, which is specially used for people who have been wronged to beat.

Yu Hongmei was just a village woman. She had never seen such a grand and majestic place before, and she felt a little timid at first.

But when she thought of what she was planning, she gained some courage.

But how do you get in?

Do I have to beat the drum to protest my grievances?

She didn't dare to do that. She wasn't here to complain, she was here to inform on someone.

Just when Yu Hongmei was at a loss, the door of the county government office suddenly opened.

A servant came out with two people. The two people behind him were carrying a box together, with gloomy expressions on their faces.

The servant in front is An Ruquan's personal servant, and Yu Hongmei remembers him.

Yu Hongmei greeted him excitedly: "Brother, do you still remember me?"

The servant could smell the foul smell on Yu Hongmei from a distance, and immediately blocked his nose with his hand and scolded:

"Where did this shrew come from? How dare she cause trouble in front of the county government office!"

Yu Hongmei quickly nodded and bowed, begging for mercy:

"Brother, I'm from Hexi Village. You gave me a reward of five taels of silver at the door of Du Kongqing's house that day. Don't you remember?"

The servant narrowed his eyes, glanced up and down at Yu Hongmei, and then greeted the two people behind him:

"It's still the same place, more efficient!"

"Yes!"

The two people behind carried the box away, leaving only Yu Hongmei with a fawning face and the servant with a slightly frowned brow.

"It's you! I remember now! What's the matter?" the servant asked impatiently.

Yu Hongmei's face was full of smiles. "I came here to report something important to Master An."

"Humph!"

The servant sneered, which scared Yu Hongmei.

"Who are you to dare to ask to see our Master?"

Yu Hongmei's face turned pale, and she begged for mercy again and again: "I know about Du Kongqing, and I want to report it to Master An and ask for a reward."

"Oh~~" This aroused the servant's interest.

"Tell me first. If what you say is something that the young master is interested in, I can tell him on your behalf."

Yu Hongmei couldn't help herself, her mouth almost stretched to her ears:

"Du Kongqing is not sick, she deliberately lied to Master An!"

"Are you serious?" The servant widened his eyes.

"It's absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. Her face was completely clean and white, without any wounds at all!"

"Okay, okay!" The servant nodded repeatedly, "You wait here, I'll go in and report to the Master!"

……

An Ruquan, who was lying on the bed, was in a very comfortable mood because he had just had a great time.

Even though the toy was broken by him, it doesn’t matter, he can just find a new one.

"Son!"

The servant was asking for instructions outside the door.

"Come in!"

"Sir, someone from Hexi Village came. She said she saw with her own eyes that Du Kongqing's illness was fake. There was no rash on Du Kongqing's face at all."

An Ruquan sat up all of a sudden, and after pulling his broken leg, he took a breath of cold air:

"Did you go to her house to check?"

The servant knelt on the ground and apologized:

"I just ran into that woman outside the door, and she said with certainty that Du Kongqing had deceived you.

I saw that she didn't have the guts to lie, so I was busy telling you the good news and didn't have time to check it out!"

"Then hurry up and check!"

"Yes!"

"Wait! You should just get Du Kongqing here!

When the time comes, lift up her veil in front of me, and I will see if she is lying to me!"

Speaking of this, An Ruquan remembered Du Kongqing's face covered with red rashes, and felt sick.

If I find out that she is just pretending to be nice and deceiving me, I will definitely teach this lowly soldier a lesson!

"Take a few detectives with you and bring her here on some pretext or charge."

"I understand, sir."

After the servant left, An Ruquan slowly lay back on the bed.

He stared at the bed curtain with a gloomy face for a long time, and a creepy sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Just now a toy was missing, and now another one is here, right?

……

Yu Hongmei waited outside the county government office for a long time before she saw a servant leading four or five constables rushing out.

Yu Hongmei quickly ran to the servant and said in a flattering manner: "How is it, young man? Did the young master give me any reward?"

The servant was in a hurry to go to Hexi Village, so he had no time to pay attention to this peasant woman:

"I have to go to Hexi Village to verify it now. Who knows if what you said is true? Get out of here!"

The servant pushed Yu Hongmei away and went out of the city with the detectives.

Du Kongqing brought the village chief back from the clinic and went to gossip with Luo Xiaoran, then Luo Xiaoran sent him home to rest.

So when the servant and the constable rushed into Du Kongqing's house, she was accompanying Du Kang in the yard to make medicinal wine.

"What are you doing here? You are trespassing!"

When the servant and the detectives were knocking on the door, Du Kongqing hurried back to the house, picked up the veil hat and put it on.

As soon as I put it on and walked back to the yard, a group of people rushed in.

The one in the lead was An Ruquan's personal servant. Du Kongqing recognized him. There was also an acquaintance among the constables behind him - Qian Dazhuang.

This time, the servant received an order and did not say much to Du Kongqing. He just waved his hand to signal the constables behind him to kidnap Du Kongqing.

"Du Kongqing, someone has accused you of stealing property. Come with us!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Du Kang hurriedly stopped her daughter and asked, "Whose property did my daughter steal? Who is the victim?"

"Who is the victim? We'll know for sure when we get to the county government office! Someone has beaten the drum to appeal for justice, how can I lie to you?"

The servant gestured to the people behind him, "Take him away!"

Du Kang was not willing to let these people take his only daughter away, so he picked up the knife used to prepare the herbs and held it in front of him:

"I wonder who of you dares to do that! You can't just take my daughter away without knowing the truth!"

The servant looked at Du Kang, who was full of resentment, and rolled his eyes in contempt. Just as he was about to make up an excuse, Qian Dazhuang suddenly stood up from behind him:

"A few months ago, I found the robbed purse of this Miss Du.

But today someone came to complain, saying that his purse was lost at home. The purse he described was exactly the same as Miss Du's purse.

Therefore, we suspect that the money bag and the 100 taels of silver inside were all stolen by Miss Du!"

After hearing this, the servant was very satisfied, Du Kang looked unconvinced, and Du Kongqing felt sick looking at Qian Dazhuang's confident face.

At that time, her purse was robbed and she happened to meet Qian Dazhuang who was patrolling the streets. He helped her catch the thief and retrieve her purse.

There was only five cents in her purse, which she earned from a day's work as a dishwasher in a restaurant.

In front of Qian Dazhuang, she poured out the five big coins and counted them again and again. Her feeling of recovering what she had lost was beyond words.

Qian Dazhuang also saw it. There were only five cents, so where would the silver note of one hundred taels come from?

He also framed her for stealing someone else's purse!
