In just half an hour, Ximen Qing left and returned.

Jinlian hurriedly asked, "How? Is there any news that the great official has asked about?"

Ximen Qing looked solemn and shook his head and said, "I understand, but... If I say it out, don't worry."

Jinlian panicked when she heard this, and Wang Po leaned over and said, "Don't be afraid, eldest lady, let's hear what's going on?"

Ximen Qing said: "I never thought that someone sued Dalang in the yamen, saying that someone had eaten the wine sold by Dalang and died in one night!

Now he is told to the county magistrate that Wu Dalang sells poisonous wine and wants him to pay his life!"

Jinlian lost her idea when she heard this and cried, "What are these words?"

Just a few jars of wine, where can I eat it? The great official has also eaten my wine, so why is it okay?"

Ximen Qingdun said: "Of course I know that the wine you sell is good wine, but now there is a complaint from the yamen, so we can't ignore it, right?

I think a rogue in the county was jealous when he saw Dalang making money by selling alcohol, and then he was honest, so he deliberately falsely accused him.

Don’t worry, my wife. I went there too late today and didn’t see the magistrate. I will go there again tomorrow.”

Jinlian said: "Even if it is a false accusation, can it be better to be arrested in prison? Which one is the key to killing Dalang?"

Ximen Qing looked a little embarrassed and said, "I only met Wang Aishi today. I was not familiar with him. He didn't tell me who sued him, but it would be clear if the church was opened in the future.

I have already used all the money from the prison guards. I think Dalang will not suffer any grievances in the prison, so I just want to rest assured."

Jinlian said: "Thank you, the great official, for thinking carefully. How much money did you use, just tell me, I will go back and give it to the great official, just ask not to let Dalang be beaten and suffer, so that I can end this matter early."

Ximen Qing said: "What are you doing so politely? They are all from the villagers. Who shouldn't help?

I will ask the county magistrate to see what happened tomorrow, and then see how much money I used.

Don’t worry, my eldest lady. I will go to the yamen tomorrow and will definitely help you settle the matter of Dalang.”

Jin Liandie claimed to thank him, but only felt that Ximen Qing was a kind-hearted and kind person.

After saying a few more words, Ximen Qing only asked Jinlian not to worry too much and got up.

Jinlian said a few words to Wang Po and went home to wait for news from Ximen Qing.

After a while, Jia Rui came back.

Jinlian said Wang Po and Ximen Qing's words once, and Jia Rui couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

"I also found out that my elder brother was going to the county government office and said he wanted to buy wine in the government office."

Jinlian wiped her tears and said, "Didn't she use words to fool Dalang?"

Jia Rui said again: "I've gone to the yamen too."

Jinlian hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

Jia Rui shook his head and sighed, "No one paid attention to me, so I could let me in. When I asked about my elder brother's whereabouts, I didn't know."

Jinlian said: "When we are promoted to the common people like this, how can those officials take the matter seriously? Fortunately, the official Ximen is very good at speaking and is willing to help..."

Jia Rui sneered and said, "Sister-in-law, don't trust him too much. Think about it, wasn't he still thinking about asking for our steamed wine recipe two days ago? My brother didn't agree. This happened in just a few days?"

Jinlian widened her eyes and said, "What? Uncle means that this is done by Ximen Qing secretly?"

Jia Rui did not answer, but asked back: "Brother is kind, I have not offended anyone in Yanggu County. Apart from Ximen Qing, can you think of who can harm Ximen Qing what benefits can you get?"

Jinlian whispered: "But I saw Ximen Qing today and was very polite and enthusiastic about helping..."

Jia Rui sneered: "If you have nothing to do, you will be either a traitor or a thief. I will not hide it from you. I have some knowledge of the art of confrontation.

Although Ximen Qing's eyes are clear, he has a hooked nose and a roll of eyes, which is definitely a treacherous and lewd appearance.

Maybe he also took a fancy to his sister-in-law's beauty and had a bad idea."

Jia Rui couldn't explain how he understood Ximen Qing, so he could only turn the blame on feudal superstition.

"Uncle was joking..." Jinlian couldn't say anything else and had to say, "But what's the solution now?

We don’t recognize anyone. Ximen Daguan said it was not a big deal, and it might be possible to settle it by spending some money.

Let him try it first. If Dalang can be protected early, he will suffer less in it."

She knew that Jia Rui was not a bad person, but she also knew that Jia Rui couldn't help with what happened today.

If you don’t recognize the people in the yamen, you are afraid that you will not find a way to give gifts and bribes.

If you want to save Wu Dalang, you have to ask Ximen Qing.

Jia Rui had no good idea. If this matter was really caused by Ximen Qing colluding with the government, Wu Dalang would naturally not have let it go so easily.

But I have no good idea, I just hate myself for being powerless. It seems that I have to make friends with some powerful people, otherwise I will not be able to live in peace if I do some small business.

"If it is really as Ximen Qing said, it is better to spend some money and get the eldest brother out. But if my sister-in-law doesn't have enough money, just tell me that I still have a hundred taels of taels."

Jinlian nodded and said, "Thank you uncle..."

Jia Rui asked again: "When will I get the letter tomorrow? I will accompany my sister-in-law to meet this Ximen Qing."

Jinlian said: "That's best, but Ximen Qing didn't say when there will be news."

Ximen Qing did not appear two days later, and he was still waiting for the golden lotus in Wangpo's tea shop.

Seeing Jia Rui and Jinlian come together, Ximen Qing feels a little uncomfortable and asks, "Who is this?"

Jia Rui bowed and said, "Jia Rui is Wu Zhi's sworn brother. Because he is concerned about my elder brother's affairs, he came here to listen today, isn't it a big deal?"

Ximen Qing had no choice but to say: "It turns out that they are Dalang's brothers, so of course they should listen."

Jinlian asked Wu Dalang what was going on in the lawsuit, and Ximen Qing said: "I have already met the plaintiff, but he is indeed a thug.

Then I said that I didn’t die of eating, but I had a serious illness and vomited and had diarrhea.

I have already told the magistrate's uncle. At least it would be fine if I deal with this matter for my sake, but it's not easy to bother me, right?"

Jinlian said, "I know, I just don't know how much it costs?"

Ximen Qing said: "Not much is needed, two hundred taels are enough."

Pan Jinlian couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Did she not make up for the false accusation yet, but she only spoke up for two hundred taels?

Jia Rui said, "Not to mention whether it was a false accusation, the case has not yet begun trial. Can I meet my elder brother?
