Chapter 231 Xuan Yujiuer and Yu Wushuang Enter the Palace to See the Emperor
Jun Mo was fighting one against three, with one faction dealing with three groups of people, and he was very busy.
There wasn't much Yu Jiuer could do to help. She could only try her best not to cause him trouble and occasionally give him some dirty tricks to deal with those insidious tricks.
But Jun Mo, a serious and law-abiding man, would sometimes think twice about the tricks Yu Jiuer suggested to him.
Fifteen days after the wedding, "Yu Wushuang" completed his report in Beijing and was about to retire, but the emperor ordered him to stay in the capital for another month to discipline Yu Jiuer.
"Yu Wushuang" had no choice but to continue pretending and didn't dare to disappear.
Recently, "Qingyu" of Linglong Pavilion has frequently encountered various problems. Either a lady has an allergic reaction after using cosmetics, or a young lady has become disfigured after using skin care products.
Even wineries have been subject to varying degrees of defamation.
Either the case was caused by someone being drunk, or someone was poisoned by alcohol and his family members came to the winery to make trouble.
Such incidents occur frequently.
Yu Jiuer had no choice but to change into women's clothes to investigate and deal with the matter.
In the end, it was discovered that these were all false accusations.
This is obviously the sinister trick used by the woman in the back house.
Yu Jiuer knew with her toes that this must be the work of Concubine Xiang.
But after several days of hard work, she still couldn't find any evidence that Xiang Fei had bribed or framed someone.
"Who else but her can't stand seeing Yinshan County doing well?" Yutao was also certain that it was her work.
"This concubine who was born in Miaojiang is really very capable and does everything perfectly!" Yu Jiuer said with a stern look on her face.
"She is directing the Third Prince to oppose our Prince, and at the same time she is not letting go of Yinshan County's assets. How sinister!"
Zhang Qiaoer was extremely worried and said with a sad face, "It's been a long time since we've finally made some progress in Yinshan County in the eyes of the world. Are we going to lose all our efforts because of her?"
Zhang Yutang was also restless: "I finally found a path I like. Every day when I finish work at the front desk and go back to my room, I always feel a sense of accomplishment. I can read several times faster than before, and my mind is much clearer than before when I was studying all day. What if the winery can't continue? Where should I go?"
Yu Jiuer comforted him, "Everyone, please be patient, I will handle it! Just like we dealt with those people who slandered and framed our Linglong Pavilion a few days ago, if we can let them clarify in public, then let them clarify in public.
When we encounter those who keep biting us like mad dogs, I will directly ask the prince to arrest them and take them to the Jinyiwei Yamen.
We have worked so hard to build up our Yinshan foundation, and we will never allow anyone to desecrate it."
But Yu Jiuer is not a celestial being after all. She can only take care of Linglong Pavilion but not the winery.
On this day, someone directly reported Yu Jiuer's grape estate and winery to the government, saying that her wine had killed people, and Zhang Qiaoer was arrested.
Yu Jiuer was so angry that she went straight to the yamen.
After the autopsy, the coroner determined that the cause of death was drinking.
Twenty or thirty empty wine jars were also found in the deceased's home. Those jars were indeed used by the vineyard winery to store strong liquor.
Finally, Jingzhao Yin arrogantly sentenced: "Come here! Seal off the grape manor and winery immediately to prevent more people from being harmed!"
Yu Jiuer was so angry that she pointed at the corrupt official and cursed: "Why? Strong alcohol is harmful to the body, this is common sense that everyone knows. If he died from drinking, can you blame our winery?
You are going to close down my winery. What if someone dies of overeating one day? Will you also close down the rice store?
Furthermore, I seriously suspect that he was forced to drink alcohol to death.
You see he is struggling and in pain, who drinks alcohol in such pain and drinks to death?"
Jingzhao Yin glared and shouted, "Don't try to shirk responsibility or talk nonsense. The truth is, he died from drinking your wine, that's enough!
I will confer the title if I say so! Don't think that you can bully others and do evil just because you are the concubine of Prince Jing.
"I am a righteous person and I am not afraid of any slander. I don't believe that I can't deal with you powerful people?"
The official looked very dignified, with his hands on his hips like a gangster, and pointed at Zhang Qiao'er and said,
"Come here! Zhang Qiao'er, the head of the wine shop, is mismanaging the business and is to be punished with thirty strokes of the cane as a warning! I want to see what you can do about it."
Yu Jiuer was furious. This crappy official not only wanted to close down the winery and arbitrarily accuse her of a crime, but also wanted to beat Qiaoer?
It would be fine if he didn't give face to Prince Jing's Mansion, but he also put the cart before the horse and made up all sorts of excuses. Where does he get the guts to do that?
"Stop it!" Yu Jiuer was furious and threatened directly, "Aren't you just relying on the support of the Third Prince to bully others? If you dare to hit her and close my wine shop, I will burn down your broken government office!"
But Yu Jiuer still had some rationality after all, it was impossible for her to really burn down the government office. She was just cursing out of spite of what she was saying!
It was unknown whether Yu Jiuer's words had an effect or Jing Zhao Yin suddenly had a change of heart, he was stunned for a long while, then sat down like a deflated balloon, waved his hand and said: "Forget it! It's bad luck for the deceased to meet a lunatic like you! Let him go!"
Yu Jiuer didn't think much about it at the time and left the yamen with Zhang Qiaoer.
The next day, she was woken up while she was still asleep.
Jingzhao Yin brought people to call Yu Jiuer for questioning because the government office was really burned down last night.
The detectives couldn't find a suspect, so they determined that Yu Jiuer was the arsonist.
In this way, Yu Jiuer was inexplicably blamed for the burning of the government office.
Even though Jun Mo guaranteed Yu Jiuer's return home, this matter still attracted the emperor's attention.
The next morning, the emperor ordered Eunuch Cao to come to Prince Jing's mansion to pass on his order: "Today at 9:00 pm, invite Yu Jiuer and Yu Wushuang to the palace to meet the emperor!"
Yu Jiuer was really panicking now: "I didn't expect Xiang Fei to hit me in a fatal spot. The Si hour is almost here, time is running out, what should I do?"
Jun Mo chuckled and said calmly: "Don't be anxious. There are endless bad ideas in your head, and you can't hold them back. Drink some tea first, calm down, and then think about how to deal with it!"
Yu Jiuer took a deep breath. Jun Mo was calm and composed. Not only did he not blame her for causing him trouble, he also comforted her.
Her anxious heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
After a moment, Yu Jiuer's eyes turned, and she suddenly had an idea: "Since someone has wronged me, I will definitely be furious. I might as well let 'Yu Wushuang' go to the palace and tell the emperor that Yu Jiuer was extremely wronged and committed suicide to show her will. Now she is lying on the bed dying and cannot enter the palace, okay?"
"Okay!" Jun Mo raised his lips slightly and patted her head, "However, it's probably not just Concubine Xiang who framed you for Linglong Pavilion and the winery. There may be other people involved. Their purpose may be to distract me and praise you to disturb my mind!
I'm sorry, Jiuer, you've been wronged by following me! I was anxious to fight back, and ended up getting you hurt!"
Yu Jiuer threw herself into his arms and said, "I'm not afraid of getting into trouble! Everything the prince has done is for our future and for the long-term stability of the people of the Great Dong Dynasty!
Maybe some people are just like turtles and snails, destined to move forward with heavy loads!
I am responsible for the people of Yinshan, and the prince is responsible for the people of Dadong Dynasty! Just like turtles and snails cannot survive without their shells, we also carry our shells and stand proudly in the world because of our ambitions, right? "
"Yes, we are carrying the burden forward, and we have no regrets! Thank you Jiu'er for your understanding! If you can bear with it for a while, I will take action against the Third Brother in the next two days to give Concubine Xiang a warning."
"If you can move the Third Prince, why didn't you do it sooner?" Yu Jiuer pouted, her face full of grievance.
"That Xiang Fei has no moral principles and uses all kinds of dirty tricks. My business and the reputation of Yinshan County were almost ruined by her! We can't let this scourge stay!"
Jun Mo shook his head and laughed, saying helplessly: "Keep your voice down! Killing a concubine, and a princess from Miaojiang, is like killing a chicken? At the very least, you will be blamed by your father, and at worst, it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. You can't just kill her casually."
"We can't let her continue to harm us like this!" Yu Jiuer pressed her lips and asked, "Do you have any leverage over her? Can you make her obey you like the eldest princess obeys you?"
Jun Mo shook his head, "No! The imperial aunt was having an affair and I stole the letters between her and her lover, so she is afraid of me! Xiang Fei is cautious and it is hard to find any evidence against her. Her only weakness is the son of my third brother who is confused."
Yu Jiuer suddenly realized: "So you controlled the princess because she cheated on you? Humph! Like mother, like daughter. No wonder Princess Qingyang is also a fickle woman. Fortunately, she was subdued by the good young man of Yinshan County!"
Frowning for a moment, she said whimsically, "Our Yinshan County is the originator of exorcising demons and monsters. One day I will transform into Sun Wukong and subdue the demon Xiang Fei as well!"
Jun Mo couldn't help laughing, his eyes full of pampering: "You're using the story you told your son to do the same thing, naughty! All right, get ready to go to the palace to see the emperor! I'll have someone pretend to be you and lie on the bed!"
Dealing with such a small matter as her father was not a problem for her at all, so he was not actually worried.
What he was worried about was that his father would become ill because of her, and everyone would point the finger at her.
As soon as the Si hour arrived, "Yu Wushuang" dressed up perfectly and entered the palace alone.
It happened that all officials were leaving court.
Yu Jiuer obediently followed her eunuch into the side hall to meet the emperor.
