Youyou Sanshengyue

After Yin Moxu escaped, he didn't go back to his room, but went straight to his residence.Elder Qiu took a deep breath with the emerald pipe in his mouth, and exhaled a milky white smoke ring: "I'm afraid he's back."

"Him?" Yin Moxu was startled: "Didn't he obediently be a teacher at the foot of the mountain?"

"Huluo Pingyang, do you think he will be willing?" Elder Qiu Nianxu smiled slightly: "However, he deliberately concealed his identity, which shows that he does not want to interfere in this matter, at least I guarantee that he will not be involved in tomorrow's trial." Get in the way."

Yin Moxu suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, waving his fingers in the air like a sword: "What are you afraid of, at worst, we will ask our old friend to dampen his spirit." Ironically: Yin Moxu is really praised to the sky, he is just a pawn in Wu Fang's hands from beginning to end, really think he can become a big deal?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Mingli was bound by two muscular burly men and came to the Elder's Court for trial.Around the round table were twelve elders with white eyebrows and white beards, with Elder Hui and Elder Qiu as the center respectively, sitting on both sides of the round table.For a while, there was a storm in the elders' courtyard, and the collision of heating and cold air was enough to rub off electric sparks and flints.Jiang Mingli cleared her throat pretending to be calm, and greeted in a naughty tone: "Yo, you elders came early." Suddenly twelve pairs of haze-covered eyes looked at him, Jiang Mingli silently swallowed. He swallowed, thinking that these old guys still don't know how to tease him.

"Master, I won't repeat your crimes. What do you have to say?" Elder Qiu asked first, holding the teacup with one hand and pushing the lid leisurely with the other. His calm and composed appearance was more like declaring his confidence to everyone. .Jiang Mingli pretended to be puzzled: "I really don't know what crime I have committed, so I don't need to make excuses." Just after finishing speaking, Elder Hui gave him a hard look back, motioning for him to answer seriously.

Just at this time, someone reported that a young servant asked to defend the owner of the villa. Elder Qiu waved his sleeves: "How can this be done? Is the Elder's Court a place where servants can talk?" The elders around him also nodded in agreement. : "Don't let a servant mess up."

"Why are you so excited? Why don't you let him in? Don't you wonder why a servant dares to speak directly to the elders' house?" Elder Hui twirled his beard and smiled. He knew that a reliable person was coming, so he sent a preemptive order: "Let him in .”

Before the other elders could react, the person outside the door had already opened the door and came in. Although he was wearing the clothes of a servant, he couldn't hide his delicate face and fresh temperament.Sheng Xiao bowed respectfully to all the elders, and said: "I know that as a servant, I am not worthy to speak in the elders' courtyard, but the owner of the villa is currently injured and unable to answer. As the owner's personal servant, I believe that no one can speak better than me. Understand the words and deeds of the owner of the villa. Of course, if you are not satisfied with me, you can take my place to clear the crime for the owner of the villa. Dare I ask which elder here is willing to take on this important task?" Sheng Xiao swept everyone with an unabashed gaze, they One by one retracted their arrogant heads, and no one was willing to stand up to defend Jiang Mingli.So Sheng Xiao smiled and said: "The young man is not talented, so he is presumptuous. Elders, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

"You cannot deny that the owner of the villa misappropriated a huge amount of public funds from Jiangzi Villa." One of the elders asked first.

"How can it be undeniable? Is there any evidence?"

"The ledger is the evidence. The owner said he only used 5000 taels, but the ledger recorded 5000 million taels. How do you explain that?"

"I'm just about to discuss the account book with you, little one." Sheng Xiao took out the account book from his arms, and everyone's eyes changed from contempt to astonishment. Elder Qiu realized that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted: "Bold! You Where did a servant get the account book? How dare you speak nonsense in the elders' house, come here, drag it down for me."

"Wait a minute, it won't be too late to punish Rong Xiao after he finished speaking." Sheng Xiao was not frightened at all, but his calm expression made Elder Qiu break into a cold sweat. "The account book originally recorded 5000 taels, but the word 'ten thousand' was added later." He opened the account book and presented it to the elders. I found another brush and a glass of water. "According to my little inquiry, in order to strengthen financial management and prevent fraudulent accounting, some people proposed to replace the ordinary ink used in bookkeeping with red sandalwood ink, which is a specialty of Crimson Purple Mountain Villa. This ink is fragrant and precious, and characters written with it can last for thousands of years without fading. , but it also has a characteristic..." As he spoke, Sheng Xiao smeared the account book with a brush dipped in water, and the paper page immediately blurred with layers of water stains. Disappearing.Everyone exclaimed.Elder Qiu gasped, leaned on the chair and sat down slumpedly.

"As you elders have seen, ordinary ink will smudge when it meets water, while red sandalwood ink will disappear when it meets water. In other words, the character 'wan' was added after the red sandalwood ink was replaced recently. of."

The evidence was overwhelming. At this time, everyone knew the truth, but because of the elder's face, they refused to give in. They all looked at each other, coughing and coughing, drinking tea.Only Elder Hui cast approving glances at Sheng Xiao and nodded slightly.

Just when everything was about to end perfectly, Yin Moxu hurried in: "Last night someone stole the key and broke into the money bank to take the account book. This person is Sheng Xiao." He reached out and grabbed Sheng Xiao's collar, "You What is the crime of stealing the account book?"

Jiang Mingli, who was bound by the side, couldn't stand it any longer, struggled a few times but couldn't move, and shouted angrily at him: "Bastard, who allowed you to touch him!"

"How dare you ask Director Yin, I, an ordinary servant who doesn't know martial arts, can easily get the ledger. If you are negligent in guarding, false accusation is the first, and dereliction of duty is the last, what should you be guilty of?"

Yin Moxu gradually let go of his hand in a sense of guilt, but Sheng Xiao continued to ask, "If Manager Yin doesn't even have the ability to protect the ledger, why is he in charge of the entire treasury? If things go on like this, Jiangzi Villa will be in danger!"

"You have all seen that the owner of the villa was wronged," Elder Hui said slowly, "Since the matter has developed to this point, for the safety of the treasury, I propose to transfer the management of the treasury to the elders' house, and everyone will supervise it together. , okay?" As he spoke, he purposely glanced at the blue-faced Elder Qiu, and the other elders whispered to each other and nodded in agreement, Elder Qiu couldn't say anything, he put the teacup in his hand on the table casually and left in dismay.

Jiang Mingli shook the shackles dissatisfiedly at the servants behind her, and put on a majestic look of the owner: "Untie the owner quickly." Hui Chang kept holding the dust on him like scolding a child There was a heavy thump on the head: "The tail is up again? Why don't you behave yourself, if Sheng Xiao didn't risk his life to save you, would you still be talking poorly here?"

Jiang Mingli cheekily smiled at Sheng Xiao beside her and said, "Sheng Xiao, tonight I will definitely reward you as a great hero... Oops..." Before I finished speaking, I was really beaten by Elder Hui and Sheng Xiao. Beat me up.

However, this farce can be regarded as a happy ending.
