Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, someone suddenly suggested: "Why not report it to the police?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi was stunned!

Are you going to report to the police for just five taels of silver?

Is five taels of silver a lot?

Qiao Xiaoxi was thinking in her heart.

There are thirty taels of silver in the backpack behind my sister!

When we really get to the government office, we have to turn out all the silver... When Qiao Xiaoxi thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

According to the stories recorded in ancient books, most of the officials were greedy people.

When I get to the government office, what if the officials don't try the case?

Will he directly confiscate my silver, then give me a beating with a stick and drive me out of the county government office?

"Oh, why is my life so miserable!" Qiao Xiaoxi sighed, feeling helpless.

I finally got a chance to use ancient people's poems, earn their money, and eat a bowl of ancient shredded pork noodles.

I didn't get to eat the shredded pork noodles, but I did find out about the case.

This is fucking nonsense, open the door for nonsense, nonsense is really home!

Suddenly, a loud gong sound echoed throughout the streets.

Then someone shouted, "The master is out on patrol! Now is a good time to report the crime!"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi immediately smiled.

Qiao Xiaoxi thought to herself: "It's great that we can try the case in the street! This way, it will be difficult to cheat, and my money can be kept."

Soon, the county magistrate appeared in front of everyone.

Qiao Xiaoxi saw that this ancient county magistrate was a middle-aged man in his forties.

She has a slightly plump figure, a fair complexion, and a somewhat wealthy look.

His round face has soft lines and a kind smile, and he looks naturally blessed.

It makes people feel quite friendly.

The county magistrate smiled and looked very friendly.

"Who reported the case?"

The fat master stepped forward and knelt down to pay his respects to the county magistrate.

Pointing at Qiao Xiaoxi, he reported to the county magistrate in a slightly panicked voice: "Sir, this young lady brought this child here to eat noodles and took out five taels of silver! I think something is fishy and suspect that this young lady might be a thief..."

Hearing this, the county magistrate turned his gaze to Qiao Xiaoxi.

"My dear little girl, come closer and answer me." The county magistrate said gently.

Qiao Xiaoxi took three steps forward and looked at the county magistrate with a smile.

The county magistrate frowned slightly when he saw this, and said in a serious tone: "Why don't I kneel when I see you?"

Qiao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Grandpa, you wronged me and slandered me as a thief. You are a bad man, so bad people should kneel down. I am an innocent person, not a thief, so why should I kneel down?"

After saying that, Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the county magistrate with a smile.

The county magistrate looked at the silly-smiling little girl in front of him and thought to himself: She turns out to be a fool. I won’t bother with fools. If she doesn’t want to kneel, then don’t kneel.

Looking at the calm and composed Qiao Xiaoxi in front of him, the county magistrate asked: "Young lady, can you tell me where this silver came from?"

"In reply to your words, Master, I took my son to Shanyang Academy today and happened to catch a poetry meeting being held there. I was inspired and wrote a few poems, and unexpectedly won some rewards." Qiao Xiaoxi's tone was as calm as water, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

When the people present heard this, they were shocked.

Whispering and pointing.

Someone said loudly: "When has there ever been a woman in Shanyang County who could win a prize in the academy for writing poetry? This girl must be talking nonsense!"

"You may be young, but you still have a big mouth."

"Old cows are flying all over the sky!"

"Master, you won't really believe this little girl's nonsense, right?"

"That's what you said. Master is a smart man."

"Who can fool the master?"

"My little girl is in trouble!"

"It's what he deserves. Stealing is stealing. Why bother to use it as a poem?"

...

Facing everyone’s doubts.

The county magistrate raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know once we ask. Come, go to Shanyang Academy as soon as possible and ask if there are any students willing to come forward to testify." The county magistrate ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, an official responded and went to Shanyang Academy to verify the matter.

The crowd watching here burst into laughter.

"Haha, this is really embarrassing!"

"How dare you go to Shanyang Academy and compete with those scholars in poetry writing?"

"Can a little girl like me win over those well-read students?"

"Listen to my nonsense. Do you think I dare to enter Shanyang Academy?"

"Yes! It's all nonsense, made up out of nothing."

"Indeed, we don't even know which direction the gate of Shanyang Academy faces, let alone compare poems!

"With such talent, how can you not even afford a decent piece of clothing?"

"Look at what I'm wearing. It's made of linen and straw!"

"I won't cry until I see the coffin!"

"It's even more embarrassing if the truth is revealed!"

"My daughter, admit it as soon as possible, so as not to lose face."

"He's a habitual offender. He's already lost his face."

Facing everyone's cold words, Qiao Xiaoxi just smiled slightly and said nothing.

The old man standing by saw all this and was secretly surprised.

This young lady in front of me is so calm and composed, she is not simple!

Just as everyone was talking, two officers came over with two people.

Qiao Xiaoxi looked closely and found that one of them was Xie Shusheng.

The other one was Zhang Shusheng, who had just lost ten taels of silver.

When the county magistrate saw Xie Shusheng, he went to greet him with a smile.

"Why is Mr. Xie here?"

Zhang Shusheng said anxiously: "Dad, Dean Xie was very surprised to hear that Li Tianyou and his mother were mistaken for thieves, so he sent his son and Master Xie here. What's going on?"

Dad! Qiao Xiaoxi was happy to hear Xie Sheng calling her dad!

The ten taels of silver that my sister just won came from the county magistrate's family. It's interesting.

Scholar Xie turned to the crowd and explained: "This young lady just came to our Shanyang Academy in just a few hours and wrote two excellent poems. One is called "Spring Dawn" and the other is "Spring Night and Joyful Rain". With these two poems, she won the first prize and the prize, which is the silver."

The scene suddenly became silent as water!

Everyone was surprised to hear this, even the fat noodle stall owner was stunned.

After a while, everyone came to their senses.

"Tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"I didn't doubt you before."

"I have long seen that this young lady is extraordinary."

"They are all noodle makers who misled us!"

"Look at the girl's appearance, how can she look like a thief?"

"Yes, this hemp rope dress cannot hide her beauty."

......

Qiao Xiaoxi watched everyone's expressions change with joy.

People are really two-faced. You can say whatever you want.

The fat chef running the noodle stall panicked and quickly apologized.

"Young lady, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you can forgive me. Next time you come here to eat noodles, I won't charge you a penny. I'll take this as my apology." The fat master said, bowing repeatedly.

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Uncle, I am curious. I used silver to eat noodles, why do you suspect me of stealing silver?"

The fat master quickly cupped his hands and said, "According to the laws of this dynasty, there is a reward for reporting crimes. I was foolish and blinded by greed, and I mistakenly thought that the young lady stole the silver. If this matter is confirmed, I can get some reward money!"

oh! I see.

Qiao Xiaoxi understood!

This policy is good, but it also has drawbacks.

Everyone is looking for something with suspicion just for a little profit, which inevitably weakens the trust between people!

The fat master of the noodle stall was smiling and trying hard to keep Qiao Xiaoxi, asking her to stay and have a bowl of noodles before leaving.

Xie Shusheng smiled and said, "Young lady, you don't need to eat noodles here. I would like to invite you to the restaurant and ask you for some poetry."

Hearing what Xie Shusheng said, Qiao Xiaoxi turned around and glanced at Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou also looked at Qiao Xiaoxi.

After the two looked at each other, they smiled and said in unison: "Let's go to the restaurant and have a big meal?"

Oh my gosh! That’s a great suggestion!

I have been to this ancient time and have never been to a restaurant.

If someone invites you to a fancy dinner, only a fool would not go.

Qiao Xiaoxi was holding Li Tianyou's hand and was about to follow Xie Shusheng.

Someone pulled the bamboo basket on her back, so Qiao Xiaoxi had to retract her foot.
