Zhang Zhi unfolded the banknote and took a look, and immediately sneered.
He raised his hand, shook the banknote, and said with a majestic expression: "Where did this cunning woman come from and dared to bribe my official in public? Come here! Execute her! Twenty slaps!"
When Chu Yue heard this, her eyelids jumped immediately, and she raised her voice in disbelief and said: "Bold! I don't think any of you dare to hit me! My husband is an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and I am Princess Lingfu's future
Mother-in-law!"
When she yelled like this, the yamen servant who had originally planned to step forward to slap her stopped immediately and did not dare to step forward again.
Zhang Zhi was also stunned.
Princess Lingfu’s future mother-in-law?
When did this happen? Why had he never heard at all that the emperor had betrothed Princess Lingfu to another family?
Just as he was wondering, he heard another sneer from behind the screen.
Zhang Zhi felt confident again, and immediately sneered and said: "Editor of the Hanlin Academy? Not to mention the mere editor of the Imperial Academy, the official position is not as good as my own. Let's just say that you claim to be Princess Lingfu's future mother-in-law.
This is enough to show that you are a lunatic! Come on! This lunatic woman dares to speak wildly and slander Princess Lingfu. She slaps her thirty times!"
This time, with a heavy slap from his hand, the officer stepped forward, held Chu Yue's shoulders, and slapped her thirty times in the face!
The crackling slaps immediately frightened Mrs. Lin.
She immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
She stopped complaining. What kind of dog officer is this? He is so cruel.
She wants to go to the palace to complain to the emperor!
"She is not allowed to leave." Upon seeing this, Yu Jiujiu whispered to Zhang Zhi from behind.
"Stop! Someone, stop her!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi immediately ordered the officials to stop Mrs. Lin.
"You, what are you doing? I won't sue! I want to go to the palace to file a complaint with the emperor!" Mrs. Lin looked at the tall and powerful government servants with thick sticks in their hands. She was so frightened that she backed away and turned around.
He looked at Zhang Zhi and said with a stern expression.
"Do you think this Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? You won't sue, but Zhang Sangang still wants to sue you!" Zhang Zhi said coldly.
"That's right! Sir, I want to sue her! The contents of the complaint are all written on this complaint. Please take a look at it." Zhang San answered immediately.
As he said this, he actually took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and presented it to Zhang Zhi with both hands.
Zhang Zhi took it and took a look.
Soon, he looked at Mrs. Lin and said: "This complaint is clearly written. Your great-grandson Lan Ran has made a marriage arrangement with Zhang San's sister Zhang Xiaoba. They were originally scheduled to get married today, but your family did not.
Breaking the contract and not going to welcome the bride, Zhang San had to send his sister Zhang Xiaoba to his door. As a result, not only did you not let him in, you also shouted that you disowned the marriage and refused to admit that you had received Zhang Xiaoba's one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Mrs. Lin, can you admit this?"
"I don't admit it! This is nothing!" When Mrs. Lin heard this, she didn't even care about this official. She called her "Ms. Lin" without taking her seriously, and immediately retorted loudly.
, "My great-grandson Lanran is only four years old this year! But this Xiaoba is still forty-eight years old, and he is still... still a..."
Her mouth moved again and again. In front of such a person, she really had no shame in saying that she was actually a man.
As soon as she said it, everyone in the capital knew that there was a forty-eight-year-old man who insisted on marrying her great-grandson Lan Ran as his wife!
How can Lan Ran raise his head and behave like a good person in the future after such a scandal?
"In short, there is no such thing. My old lady doesn't know this family of three people at all! Sir, please make it clear!" Mrs. Lin kept yelling.
"Since you said you don't know their family, how do you know that Xiaoba is forty-eight years old this year?" Zhang Zhi asked immediately after hearing this.
"This, this..." Mrs. Lin immediately got stuck again.
Do you want her to say that she read what was written in the marriage certificate?
But she didn't want to admit the existence of the marriage certificate, which was something even more unclear!
Moreover, the marriage certificate is no longer in her hands!
"Sir, of course this old woman knows the age of my sister. She was the one who brokered this marriage! It was my sister who gave her the banknote in the first place, and this old woman Lin personally handed over the marriage certificate written by her great-grandson to my sister.
It's in the hands of my sister. Sir, I have two marriage certificates as evidence."
Zhang San said, and presented the two marriage certificates with both hands.
Zhang Zhi took the marriage certificate and looked at it. He suddenly felt that it was both ridiculous and ridiculous. It turned out to be true!
"Sir! It's fake! That marriage certificate is fake! Your Majesty, my great-grandson is indeed engaged to someone, and that person is Princess Lingfu. Please come with me to the palace. As long as you see Princess Lingfu, you will know as soon as you ask!"
Mrs. Lin said anxiously.
"What? What are you talking about? Who is engaged to your grandson?" At this time, behind the screen, Yu Jiujiu seemed to be unable to sit still, as if he was just waiting for this sentence, and immediately walked out with a porcelain white face.
Her little face was cold, and her dark and round eyes stared at Mrs. Lin, as if she was looking at some crazy person.
"Princess Lingfu? You, why are you here?" Mrs. Lin was dumbfounded when she saw her.
"I'm passing by and came here to sit down. I didn't expect to see you talking nonsense here! You even dare to spread rumors about my princess's marriage. It's really abominable!" Yu Jiujiu said with a very angry face.
"You, how can you deny it? That day at the eldest princess's mansion, you and I handed over the marriage certificate and the banknote with one hand and the marriage certificate and the banknote with the other... and you actually deny it?" Mrs. Lin raised her voice in disbelief.
"What kind of betrothal? What kind of marriage certificate and banknote? What are you talking about? This princess really doesn't understand a word!" Yu Jiujiu seemed to be very angry, and her face was a little flushed.
Although this is just trying hard to hold back laughter.
But the expression on his little face was still full of indignation, as if he had been bullied, which was endearing.
"How can you deny it? Lan Xiao! Do you want to regret it? Then don't blame me for telling Lan Xiao's story!" When Mrs. Lin heard this, she was really angry, "I remembered it, I
There are witnesses!”
She said, looking around in the crowd.
She quickly found the maid who came with her. The maid who served Chu Mian was the one who told her about Lan Xiao. At this time, Mrs. Lin pulled her out, pushed her to the front, and said, "Hurry up.
Say! Was it Princess Lingfu who was in front of you at that time? We gave Lan Xiao to her, and she agreed to sign a marriage contract with Ran'er and even exchanged marriage contracts!"
Mrs. Lin thought that this maid was someone she could trust, but little did she know that she had already switched sides.
"Old madam, are you confused? When did this happen? I really don't know anything about this. Moreover, you took the initiative to hand over Mr. Lan Xiao to the little princess. Has there ever been any exchange? What kind of marriage certificate?" This maid said.
