The wives of the concubines are empresses

Chapter 54 The Emperor is Accused of Blackmail

The master and servant were fumbling with the mask with great force, which frightened the boss.

"Girls, could you please be gentler?"

The girl looked unhappy when she heard this, and the maid beside her glared at her.

"How can you talk like that? How can we buy it if we don't see it?"

Lianhua searched for the silver for a long time but couldn't find it, so she got up anxiously.

"Master, the silver is gone."

Woo woo woo, the national treasury is poor enough, and that is one tael of silver, the master's private property.

Lianhua turned around angrily and glared at the two people who were about to leave.

"You have to compensate me with silver."

"You're kidding, don't try to blackmail us. Girl, let's go."

Shangguan Wanjun frowned and spoke as the two turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

"You two, it was you who pushed us out of the way, causing our money to fall to the ground. You can't let us suffer this loss in silence."

The girl felt that the veiled woman in front of her spoke in a powerful and even authoritative manner.

Seeing that she was dressed elegantly, she must be a lady from a wealthy family. For the sake of her reputation, she endured it.

"Xiao Cui, take out one or two taels of silver and give them to them."

The maid named Xiao Cui reluctantly took out the silver. When Lianhua reached out to take it, she let go of her hand and the silver fell directly to the ground.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Lianhua was furious, her beautiful eyes wide open.

"Pick it up." His tone was clearly filled with forbearance.

Xiao Cui raised her head high: "Are you kidding? I already said I'm sorry, my hand slipped."

The girl looked at Xiao Cui coldly. Xiao Cui turned around and was about to leave, but Lian Hua hurriedly grabbed her.

"Don't leave. You haven't picked up the silver yet."

Caught off guard, a middle-aged woman bumped into Lianhua, causing her to fall on Xiaocui, and both of them fell to the ground.

"what……"

"Ouch……"

Xiao Cui, furious, slapped Lianhua hard with her backhand, and a red palm print of the Five Finger Mountain appeared on Lianhua's face.

"You dare to hit me?" She had served her master for ten years and had never been beaten by him, but today she was beaten by an unknown maid.

"I'm going to hit you. Do you know who our young lady is? How dare you come and cause trouble?"

Shangguan Wanjun and Liuli quickly pulled the man up. Shangguan Wanjun's eyes were frighteningly cold when she saw her own men being beaten.

"Miss, please give me an explanation."

The one or two taels of silver were still lying quietly on the ground, and no one dared to pick them up in the chaos.

There were more and more people around, and the girl felt something was wrong. She looked at Shangguan Wanjun with a wronged look and pity.

"I'm sorry, girl. It's really our fault. You see, we didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive us this time."

Some young men cherish flowers and girls and cannot bear to see beautiful women cry.

"Girl, we are all girls, there is no need to embarrass each other."

"That's right, why should women make things difficult for other women?"

Lianhua and Liuli were stunned when they saw the one-sided opinion. These people were really indiscriminate and just talked nonsense.

Lianhua, who had never suffered such humiliation, stood up and said, "Please, I was the one who got beaten. Do I deserve it? You are all scholars, but you have read so much that you have become a fool."

The readers who were watching the conversation turned red and white on their faces, and some of them felt embarrassed and left.

Shangguan Wanjun had a blank expression on her face and looked at Green Tea with cold eyes.

"This is the first time I've seen such a green tea. It's a shame she doesn't become a movie queen."

The girl didn't understand that intuition is not a good word.

"How dare you! You have such a guts! Do you know who I am? How dare you speak so arrogantly to me?"

Seeing her daughter getting angry, Xiao Cui also added fuel to the fire.

Shangguan Wanjun laughed instead of getting angry: "Oh, then who is your father?"

"You'd be scared to death if I told you."

Shangguan Wanjun and Liu Cheng exchanged a glance and said calmly, "I'm all ears."

"My father works at the Maritime Customs Office."

Shangguan Wanjun sneered. The Director of Maritime Customs was a fifth-rank official position, and his family was so arrogant and domineering.

"A mere fifth-rank official dares to act so arrogantly. You're quite impressive."

The girl blushed and said, "You are so arrogant."

Xiao Cui took advantage of the chaos, picked up the silver on the ground and put it in her arms, with a very proud expression on her face.

The soldiers and horses came over and asked, "What's going on?"

The young girls immediately started to complain, and Xiao Cui kept chattering.

"...Sir, this is what happened."

Lianhua was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but Shangguan Wanjun reached out and grabbed her, giving her a look, and Lianhua retreated angrily.

In the courtroom of Jingzhao Yin's government office, the third-rank Zuo Fengyi of Jingzhao Yin slammed the gavel in his hand towards the secretary.

"shoot."

"Who are you, and what do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Cui quickly spoke up: "Sir, let's sue them for blackmail."

The girl's eyes flashed. This was just what they had secretly agreed upon, and it would not affect her reputation.

Seeing that everyone did not kneel down, Xiang frowned.

"Why don't you kneel down?"

When the girl heard this, she knelt down immediately. When Xiao Cui saw that her young lady also knelt down, she knelt down with a plop.

Lianhua and Liuli knelt down, and Liucheng looked directly at his master.

Shangguan Wanjun didn't want to reveal her identity, so she finally knelt down, her posture straight and upright, like a pine or cypress tree.

"I've met my lord."

When Liu Cheng saw his master kneeling down, he also knelt down with relief.

"I've met my lord."

Xiang looked at the defendant and the others and said, "The plaintiff said you were blackmailing me, and that's true."

Lianhua was furious. "Sir, that's not true. They were the first to complain. We paid for two masks, but they didn't prioritize and forced us to leave. This caused a small amount of silver to fall from my hand. They should compensate us."

Mr. Xiang thought what he said was reasonable and looked at the plaintiff.

"Do you have any objections?"

The girl looked flustered and said hurriedly, "Sir, we gave them silver, but they didn't want it."

The aggrieved voice and my pitiful face made everyone's heart soften.

"This is strange. He gave it to me but I didn't want it."

"No."

"Don't believe everything you hear. I'm not stupid enough to refuse the money. There must be a reason for it."

Lianhua looked at the hypocritical girl angrily: "Who said we don't want it? The girl's maid threw the silver on the ground for us to pick up, and even called it a slip of the hand. Is it such a coincidence?"

Treat her as a fool.

Lord Xiang frowned as he listened to the other party's well-reasoned words.

When it comes to love, it is the plaintiff who is in charge. It would be strange if the defendant could accept it.

He glanced at the veiled woman and felt that she had an extraordinary temperament. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, she was a cold beauty and didn't seem like an aggressive person.

The gavel banged again: "Come on, give this unreasonable plaintiff ten spankings."

At this time, there were more people with cold temperaments in the crowd.

"Sir, are we going up now?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No hurry, let's wait and see."

He looked at the person in the center of the courtroom and felt that the other person's temperament was somewhat familiar, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

The girl fainted when she heard this and was awakened by the yamen runner pressing her philtrum.

"No, let me go. My father is an official appointed by the imperial court. You can't hit me."

Officials and common people were shocked: "It's the officials' families who know the law but break it."

"No."

Seeing that the board was about to fall on her, the girl became anxious.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"
