Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it
Chapter 563: Don’t you have any brains at all?
As soon as Bai Wanwan arrived in the front hall, she heard a noisy sound.
Several high-ranking officials of the imperial court were shouting with red faces and thick necks, spitting everywhere.
A bearded official slammed his hands on the table and stamped his feet anxiously:
"All the five hundred thousand taels of silver notes in my treasury are gone! Five hundred thousand!
This is the wealth I have accumulated over many years!"
A tall, thin official nearby also sighed, "Who says it's not true? My family is missing a full two hundred thousand taels, and now the accountant is so anxious that he's crying."
Another old man with a white beard was shaking with anger. "I'm even more unlucky! The deeds to the two farms outside the city disappeared overnight. These are our ancestral properties! Where can I go to seek justice?"
The bearded official gnashed his teeth:
"This Baiyin granddaughter is too cruel!
We have been in the court for so many years, and we have never suffered such a big loss!"
Everyone was talking at once, getting more and more excited. Some people were so angry that they pounded the table, while others sighed and shook their heads. The whole front hall was in chaos.
Someone also came from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion. As soon as Bai Wanwan stepped into the front hall, she heard a loud noise inside.
Just as I was wondering, I saw the Marquis of Jing'an sitting in the seat of honor with a majestic posture, holding a tea bowl in his hand, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"I'm here today just to ask for an explanation!" The Marquis put the tea bowl on the table with a "bang", and the tea splashed out and covered half of the table.
"My precious grandson had a high fever the moment he returned, and he's still groggy and talking nonsense!" He glanced at the stunned officials around him and said through gritted teeth, "And one million taels of silver notes from the palace disappeared overnight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, an official gasped:
"One million taels? This girl is so bold!
How much is our annual salary? How dare she take so much all of a sudden?"
The other one shook his head and smacked his lips in amazement: "What kind of place is the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion? She dared to touch it. She is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger!"
The Marquis had a gloomy face and said nothing. The tea lid in his hand kept knocking against the edge of the bowl, and the "tapping" sound made people feel uneasy.
The officials around looked at each other, calculating their own losses. Compared with the Marquis' Mansion, it seemed like nothing.
Bai Wanwan leaned against the door frame, her eyes sweeping across the flushed faces of everyone in the hall, a hint of a smile forming at the corner of her lips:
"Gentlemen, why are you making so much noise? Do you think this is a vegetable market?
Didn't your sons explain to you clearly the principle of accepting defeat when gambling? "
"How dare you!" Marquis Jing'an kicked over the stool with a "clang", and the teacup fell to the ground, with porcelain pieces flying everywhere.
His eyes were wide open, his silver beard trembling violently with his breathing. He took three steps to stand in front of Bai Wanwan, his old fingers almost poking her nose.
"Little girl! My grandson is in a coma, and the doctor said he will be a useless person if he doesn't wake up!
You've made his life worse than death, and you still have the nerve to bring up a bet?"
The surrounding officials shrank back in fear, fearing that they would be affected by the rising anger.
The jade belt buckle around Marquis Jing'an's waist gleamed coldly in the sunlight. The veins on his neck bulged, and he looked like an enraged tiger. "If you don't make things clear today, I'll make you pay for your blood debt with blood, even if it means sacrificing my own old bones!"
Bai Yin, Liu Quanzhou and Shen Yuan pushed the door open and walked in.
Bai Yin snorted coldly and questioned Marquis Jing'an:
“Are you trying to scare my granddaughter?
What mistake did she make that deserves such accusation from you?"
Marquis Jing'an also sneered, his voice filled with anger:
"And you're asking me why? My child is almost dead because of her!
Do you think I should look for her?"
"Words are useless. What evidence do you have to say that my granddaughter did it?" Baiyin refused to give in.
He sneered again, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, his tone filled with mockery and threats:
"How dare you bully the younger generation in front of me? Do you really think our family is easy to bully?
You don't even think before you do anything!"
At this time, someone interrupted:
"Everyone saw it with their own eyes. It was your granddaughter who deceived people!
My kid said he didn't want to pay, but was tricked by Bai Wanwan's sweet talk and fell for it! "
Baiyin suddenly burst into laughter:
"So that's what they told you?
Fine, call all your children over and confront them face to face!"
The gang didn't show any weakness and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Go ahead and yell! Who's afraid of who?"
After saying that, someone ran back to call his own children.
It just so happened that the princess also heard about the commotion here, so she brought people over to watch the excitement, wanting to find out whether Bai Wanwan had actually cheated people out of money.
Soon, all the children were brought forward.
The scene suddenly became quiet. The children looked at each other, their eyes dodging, and no one knew what they were thinking.
The princess frowned and looked at everyone, waiting to see how this farce would end.
The atmosphere was tense, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted:
"Don't just stand there! Explain everything from beginning to end. Did Bai Wanwan lie to you?
You are still half-grown children, yet you fell into the hands of a little girl!"
The young men who were called all lowered their heads, with the corners of their clothes wrinkled in their palms.
Jing'an Hou was furious and said, "What are you doing pretending to be? You swore at home that you were deceived, but now you are speechless?"
He scanned the crowd with red eyes and suddenly grabbed the front boy by the collar: "You tell me first! How did Bai Wanwan cheat that day?"
The boy's Adam's apple rolled twice, his face flushed red, and he suddenly burst into tears: "I... I dare not say..."
When the other children around saw this, some began to wipe their tears secretly, and some rubbed their shoes back and forth.
Bai Wanwan looked at them calmly and said:
"Actually, I also want to know how I deceived you?
Don't you have any brains at all?
What's more, I'm only a two-year-old child. What can I say to make you obediently hand over those banknotes to me?"
Shen Tao couldn't hold back his laughter and couldn't straighten his back.
After finally recovering, he stared at those people with a sullen face and said:
"Can you guys please have some shame? What the hell are you doing? We agreed to fight crickets together, so we'll accept the outcome regardless of winning or losing.
Now that you've lost money, you're throwing all the dirty water on a little girl. How dare you do that!"
The princess glanced at Shen Tao and said unhappily, "Tao'er, what have you got to do here? Stop interfering!"
Shen Tao smiled calmly and said calmly:
“Because I was there that day, I was the one who gambled with them, but I was unlucky and lost 200,000 yuan in one go.
Why didn't they say a word of objection when they won the money?
Now that you've lost, you run home to complain, and even turn around and accuse others of cheating you out of your money. How did they cheat you?"
Baiyin looked at the group of officials and said:
"You all heard it, didn't you? I've explained exactly what happened.
You are so shameless."
