Chapter 254 Paper crotch under the iron threshold

He talked for about an hour.

During this period, the old housekeeper went to visit the young master Ma Qi several times next door.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Su Jing stood up, took out a bunch of copper coins from her arms, and put it on the table:

"I didn't bring any gifts. Your young master is seriously ill. Although the money is not much, I hope it will be accepted as a token of my gratitude."

When the old housekeeper looked at the sling of copper coins, his first reaction was neither rejection nor acceptance.

Instead, he stared blankly.

Since Ma Zhiyuan was imprisoned, life for the Ma family has become increasingly difficult.

"Thank you so much, Master! You are so kind to me, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of you!"

The old housekeeper knelt down directly towards Su Jing, banging his head on the ground.

If it were before, there would be no way I would accept the money from Su Jing.

But now, the reality makes him unable to accept it.

Su Jing immediately helped the old housekeeper up and said, "No, that's all I can do. If I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

It was obviously dinner time, but Su Jing was leaving.

The old housekeeper naturally saw what Su Jing meant at a glance. He knew that they were in embarrassment. If they didn't eat here, they could at least spend less money.

Su Jing and Zhu Biao are two people anyway.

If you really want to eat here, no matter how you deal with it, you have to eat something.

Entertaining is undoubtedly a kind of pressure for the current Ma family.

"Thank you very much, young master. Please leave your name. If there is an opportunity in the future, my young master will definitely thank you!"

The old housekeeper did not persuade him to stay, but solemnly said to Su Jing.

He is old and Ma Zhiyuan is already in prison.

Then only Master Ma Qi will be able to repay the kindness in the future.

"Su Jing."

Su Jing left a name and left with Zhu Biao.

In a civilian restaurant in Yingtian Mansion, Su Jing and Zhu Biao casually ordered two dishes to eat.

"Master Su, do you believe what the butler said?"

After taking a few bites, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to ask.

Su Jing said while picking up vegetables: "Why don't you believe it?"

Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, Ma Zhiyuan's case has been settled. There is absolutely no possibility of overturning the case. No matter what his butler says, it cannot change the reality."

Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless in his pursuit of corruption, and naturally he also paid attention to evidence.

Otherwise, how can we convince the public by killing so many officials?

Su Jing said calmly: "No, Niu Yi, don't get me wrong, these are two different things. We understand this case, and we are not trying to overturn Ma Zhiyuan's case."

"Um?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

Su Jing took him to see Ma Zhiyuan in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment first, and then met Ma Zhiyuan's family.

This is not for overturning the case, what is it for?

"Master Su, the student doesn't understand."

Zhu Biao said.

"Then hurry up and eat. We still have a lot of places to run in the afternoon. You will know then."

Su Jing urged and continued to eat.

On the other side, inside Fengxian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was having a simple meal. He had to deal with Su Jing's affairs in the past few days, so he was a little tight on time.

During lunch, Lao Zhu spent some time in Fengxian Hall.

Queen Ma was afraid that Lao Zhu would not eat well, so she ate with Lao Zhu.

"Sister, are you saying that Su Jing and Biao'er are running around here to overturn the case of Ma Zhiyuan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Queen Ma in confusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang was always paying attention to Su Jing's whereabouts in Yingtian Mansion.

Queen Ma said: "I don't know, but I believe that Mr. Su must have a deep meaning in doing this. There may be something hidden in Master Ma's case."

Empress Ma always gave Su Jing unlimited trust.

Zhu Yuanzhang said categorically: "Sister, this is impossible, but I have personally seen Ma Zhiyuan's case. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. It is impossible to reverse the case."

Because of Ma Zhiyuan's packing behavior at the New Year's banquet, he was registered with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang has personally seen the cases, and there is absolutely no possibility of them being unjust.

Empress Ma immediately said: "Yes, yes, Chongba, you are right. I didn't say that Mr. Su wanted to reverse the case. Why are you anxious? We can just wait and see."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "But, what exactly does Su Jing want to do? What is the need to understand this ironclad case?"

…

After finishing their meal at the restaurant, Su Jing took Zhu Biao into the pharmacy.

Based on the prescription she got from the old housekeeper, Su Jing also found out the approximate price of the medicine from the shopkeeper.

Then, Su Jing took Zhu Biao to have a practical understanding of Yingtian's prices.

Including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, renting a house, eating, clothing, heating, etc...

After doing this, almost two hours passed.

As evening approached, Su Jing took Zhu Biao back to Niu Mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was already waiting in Niu Mansion.

"Uncle, what, are you finished?"

Su Jing was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was a very famous model emperor and had a full day's work.

To be able to appear in front of him at this point is actually a bit surprising.

"Father."

Zhu Biao saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "This is my home. Isn't it normal for me to be here? Why, Su Jing, do you think there is a problem?"

Since Su Jing wanted to act, Lao Zhu simply went on acting with Su Jing.

"Um...of course it's no problem."

Su Jing was stunned for a moment, truly confused by Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

What is this?

Lao Zhu also started acting?

Of course, Su Jing's reaction was also very quick.

"Su Jing, what are you doing with my son this day? I heard from the housekeeper that you guys haven't been at home all day."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Su Jing.

Although he knew, and he also knew that Su Jing knew that he knew, he still had to pretend to ask the housekeeper before he found out.

Su Jing replied: "It's nothing, I just had a little doubt about a case, so I went to find out more about the situation."

Su Jing knew that Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything he did, but he still had to pretend to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Then what did you learn about the situation?"

In Ma Zhiyuan's case, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't know what kind of tricks Su Jing could pull off. The evidence was solid, so what else could change?

"Don't worry, uncle."

Su Jing smiled and said, "Let me drink some water first and then talk."

As Su Jing was about to pour water, Zhu Biao, who had quick eyes and quick hands, immediately rushed in front and poured water for Su Jing.

"Master Su, drink."
