There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Chapter 673: Repaying the Body with the Way of the People

The stewards beside Mrs. Guo was called out by Daohua's envoy, and as soon as she came out, she was tightly grasped by Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law.

"Come with me to see our patriarch and tell him that it was you who asked our family to come to Ningmen Mansion to find the prefect's wife, and it was you who made us make trouble with the prefect's family."

Seeing the surrounding people standing around watching, the steward was so frightened that she immediately denied it: "Where is the lunatic, pull me away, I don't know her at all."

The doorman of the Guo family rushed over immediately and wanted to take away Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly sat on the ground, patting her thighs and crying: "Everyone, come and judge, this woman went to our village in September to encourage us to come to the prefect. Madam's."

"We dare not come!"

"Yes, my mother-in-law is the stepmother of the prefect's wife, but when the family split up, she made it clear in front of the clan that as long as the prefect's wife and her two brothers don't want the family property, everyone will not have to come back in the future."

"But this old woman told me that the prefect's family has great business and reputation. As long as we make things bigger, the prefect's wife will not ignore us."

"We were also blinded by lard. As soon as we came, we made a scene in front of the prefect's house, and then we sat in a lot of wrong things, which caused the reputation of the house to be ruined."

After hearing this, several censors of the Supreme Court all looked at the gloomy Governor Guo beside him.

The steward had experienced a lot of things with Mrs. Guo, and soon calmed down from the panic. Looking at the master and the censor not far away, as well as the more and more pedestrians around, she knew clearly that this matter could not be Let the woman in front of her continue to speak.

So, the steward's mama pointed at Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law with an angry face and scolded: "You spit blood, when have I seen you? Do you have any evidence?"

Li Wangshi's eldest daughter-in-law looked proud: "Of course I have proof. Although I don't know a single big character, I have also heard in the play that a big family like you has a bad heart."

"Before you suddenly came to our village and asked us to find the prefect's lady who hasn't been in contact with him for more than 20 years, so I kept an eye on it. Look, what is this?"

Saying that, he took out a delicate purse from his arms.

The fabric and handicraft of the purse can be seen at a glance that it is used by a large family.

Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law said loudly, "Our family didn't want to come to the prefect's wife at the beginning. It was you who lured us with a silver note, and we came here."

Seeing the purse, the steward's mother felt tight. The purse was indeed given by her. She never thought that the stupid and greedy Li family would keep such a hand.

Daohua on the carriage across the street was also a little surprised. Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li Wang family could cope with the Guo family steward, she did not let the Li clan who had seen the Guo family steward in Lijia Village before come forward.

Looking at the pointing of the people around him, Governor Guo suppressed the anger in his heart, glared at the steward, and said solemnly, "Go back to the mansion soon!"

The steward also knew how shameless Li Wang's family was, and it was impossible to reason with them. She nodded embarrassingly, and turned to go back to the house.

Where could Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law let her go, she saw that she got up with both hands and feet, and then hugged the steward's mother's waist violently: "You are not allowed to leave, our family makes a lot of trouble in the prefect's house, and the prefect's family is lost. Now that the prefect has invited our patriarch to get rid of our clan, you must go over and make it clear to our patriarch that you encouraged us to come, not that we sincerely wanted to make trouble."

The steward was so anxious that she wanted to get rid of Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she couldn't get rid of it.

Seeing that the trouble was too ugly, Governor Guo glanced at the guard quickly and motioned for the guard to bring people into the mansion.

The guards beside Governor Guo had all been on the battlefield, and they were all hostile. Seeing the guards approach, Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law was taken aback and shouted almost sharply: "Help, kill! Guo The house is so bad that it oozes pus, not only brought us to make trouble with the prefect's house, but also let the beggars in the city spread the word of the prefect's wife's unfilial piety everywhere."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd suddenly became noisy.

Suddenly, an exclamation that could be heard by everyone sounded: "I heard that Yan Zhifu's family even took out high-yield grain seeds to help the Guo family."

"The Guo family treats the Yan Zhifu family like this, isn't this revenge?"

"I didn't expect the Guo family to be such a person!"

Hearing such remarks, Governor Guo's face turned blue, and he endured his anger and came before Li Wang's eldest daughter-in-law: "Do you know what the crime of framing a court official is?"

Li Wangshi's eldest daughter-in-law looked frightened, glanced at the carriage across the street, and then said with a trembling voice, "I didn't frame it." As he spoke, he pointed to a steward who appeared at the gate of Guo Mansion.

"I saw with my own eyes that he took money to go to the beggars in the city, and I heard with my own ears that he asked the beggars to spread bad words about the prefect's wife, saying that she was unfilial."

"By the way, it's those beggars. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

Governor Guo looked up at the few beggars who happened to be here outside the crowd, and then looked at the carriage across the street. At this moment, he didn't know where he was. Today's event was planned in advance. , So, I didn't plan to ask those beggars at all.

He didn't ask, but someone helped.

Yan Zhigao served as the prefect of Ningmen Mansion for three years. He really did a few things for the common people, and he gained a wave of goodwill from the common people.

"Come on, have you spread bad words about the prefect's wife?"

Several beggars broke their courage when they were controlled by Cao Chuan and others, and Houdaohua promised that as long as they dared to speak out about the Guo family's actions in public, they would be allowed to work in her village.

In this way, how can beggars help to conceal, you and I have spit out the remarks about Mrs. Li's unfilial piety that the steward Guo explained to them.

With the beggar's testimony, the onlookers were boiling. Although they were afraid of the ashen-faced Governor Guo, they still pointed at the Guo mansion from time to time.

Not long after, Yan Zhigao, who received the news, hurried over: "What are you all doing here? Hurry up and spread out!"

"Lord Prefect, the remarks about your family circulating in the city some time ago were all spread by Madam Guo." Someone shouted.

After Yan Zhigao heard this, he quickly glanced at Governor Guo.

It just so happened that Governor Guo was also looking at Yan Zhigao.

Yan Zhigao retracted his eyes and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, my wife's stepmother, when my uncle and brother took my wife away from home more than 20 years ago, they crossed the road in the family, at the expense of not having the family property. , and continue to care for the elderly without any stipends.”

"Now that the patriarch of the Li clan has come, my wife's stepmother's family will return to their hometown in a few days. This matter is over, please don't mention it again, so that you can go back and prepare for the New Year's affairs."

"Okay, okay, everyone is leaving."

"It's so cold to gather outside, it's not cold, go back quickly!"

Hearing the words of concern from the prefect, the surrounding people burst into laughter.

The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked at this scene and glanced at each other quickly.

Officials are unpopular, in fact, it can be seen from some trivial matters.

Some officials stood up to smooth things out: "There must be a misunderstanding in today's matter. It's better for Governor Guo and Yan Zhifu to sit down and have a good talk to resolve the misunderstanding."

Governor Guo looked at Yan Zhigao and said, "I wonder if the magistrate can show respect?"

Yan Zhigao immediately said, "It is my honor to invite the Governor-General."

Governor Guo led Yan Zhigao into the mansion. When he was about to enter the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the carriage across the street: "Does Yan Zhifu know that carriage?"

Yan Zhigao was stunned for a moment, looked at the carriage, and shook his head: "I don't know."

Seeing that Yan Zhigao didn't look like a fake, Governor Guo glanced at the carriage again before carrying it into the mansion.

On the carriage across the street, Wang Man'er asked, "Girl, are we going back now?"

Daohua: ". Go for a walk on the street."

Wang Man'er signaled that the driver could leave.

After walking around the main street, Daohua felt relieved after hearing that the people were talking about the Guo family framing the Yan family.

Mrs. Guo worked hard to find the Li Wang family to deal with the Yan family, and now she has a taste of being backlashed.
