Chapter 794: It’s tolerable, but what’s intolerable?
Yu Zhaorong snorted coldly, "I have tolerated all this, and thought that the matter had been resolved. Who would have thought that Lord Jiang would forcibly abduct the daughter of the Wan family? This is intolerable!"
"What? Such a thing could happen?"
"Yes! As an official appointed by the imperial court, how dare you do such a thing? It seems that all officials from the capital are of the same character."
"That's right! Some are greedy by nature, and this one is even greedy for other people's beauty. They are not good people."
The people were filled with righteous indignation. This kind of thing was a great shame and humiliation for anyone.
"Please, Lord Jiang, return the girl from the Wan family!" Yu Zhaorong shouted.
"Yes! Please, Lord Jiang, return our granddaughter to me." Wan Niansong also looked anxious.
"Yes! Return the girl from the Wan family to me. Don't go too far!"
"Return the Wan family girl to you!"
The people were outraged and they couldn't stand it any longer.
Yu Zhaorong glanced at the few people hiding in the crowd and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, a man was hiding at the edge of the crowd. Yu Zhaorong glanced at him and found that the other party nodded at him, then he smiled confidently.
"Sir Wu, as a Tongpan, you have the authority to supervise the county officials. Now the prefect and the deputy prefect have been imprisoned by Sir Jiang on trumped-up charges. Has Lin'an Prefecture become Sir Jiang's world?"
Yu Zhaorong bowed deeply to a man and said, "Master Wu, please help us!"
"Sir Wu, now in the yamen, you are the only one who can make decisions for the people! Please make the decision, Sir Wu." Wan Niansong also followed suit and bowed deeply.
Qin Yandong just felt that the situation was not good. These people were inciting the people and they must be fearless.
Could it be that they were careless for a moment and allowed these people to leave evidence to frame them?
"Your Excellency was sent by the court and the Emperor to investigate the murder of the Salt Inspector Xu. How could you do such a ridiculous thing? You should not just follow others' words, and you should not just listen to one side of the story."
After Qin Yandong said this, Yu Zhaorong immediately said, "The head of the Wan family has a letter from Lord Jiang, saying that he wants the Wan family to take the initiative to send Wan Qian to the government office, otherwise he will punish the Wan family for selling private salt."
As he spoke, he looked at Wan Niansong and said, "Master Wan, why don't you take out the letter and let everyone see it?"
"Oh? When did I meet Miss Wan? We have never met before, so why did you come to see me?"
A clear voice was heard, and everyone looked and saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe walking out of the courtyard.
The boy has a figure like a bamboo and a face like a jade. As he walks along the way, his every move is as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and his temperament is outstanding.
"Eh? Is this the Imperial Envoy? He is truly extraordinary!"
"This? He is really a handsome young man."
"He must be a son of a noble family. With his looks and bearing, he really doesn't look like someone who would rob or rob others!"
"You are all so superficial, you only look at the appearance. There are many people who are all show and no substance. What's wrong with being good-looking? Doesn't that mean they are beasts?"
The people watched Jiang Youzhen walk towards them and could not help but talk about him. His appearance, posture, and figure were like those of a dragon and a phoenix. It was no exaggeration to say that he was like a dragon and a phoenix!
"He is so young but he is an official of the imperial court, and an imperial envoy. He must have a lot of power, right? He is also so handsome. Even if I have a daughter, I can give her to him as a concubine."
"Are you dreaming? Don't talk nonsense. Wan's daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Yu family who has not yet married. But she is a chaste and virtuous woman who has vowed to stay with her husband until she is widowed. How could she be tempted by wealth and appearance?"
"Have you forgotten why we are here? We the people have relied on the Yu family for all these years! Don't be so ungrateful!"
Everyone heard this and said, yes! They are here to help get someone back.
"There is a God above us! Lord Jiang is an official appointed by the court, but we cannot allow you to harm the daughter of the Wan family. If Lord Jiang does not hand her over, we will go in and search for her ourselves."
Yu Zhaorong was furious. Jiang Youzhen had a good appearance. If he continued talking, it would be a blessing for the daughter of the Wan family. It was better to make a quick decision!
"Master Wan, are you sure your granddaughter Wan Qian is in this yamen?" Jiang Youzhen looked at Wan Niansong with clear eyes, which made Wan Niansong stunned for a moment.
"Ahem! Master Wan, please take out the letter quickly and it will be proved. This letter can be compared with Lord Jiang's handwriting to see whether it was written by Lord Jiang, wouldn't it be clear at a glance?" Yu Zhaorong said as he glanced at Wan Niansong, his eyes full of warning.
"But I didn't write any letter. If you really like Miss Wan, why not send someone to ask her out? That would be open and aboveboard. Why bother with a letter and give rise to gossip? Letters are easy to forge and don't count!" Jiang Youzhen frowned.
"That's naturally because Miss Wan is a chaste and virtuous woman. She didn't want to marry two husbands and refused to obey. So Lord Jiang took her away by force!" Yu Zhaorong said with saliva flying.
“Since the daughter of the Wan family has not married, even if they get married in the future, there will be no such thing as a woman marrying two husbands.
Besides, I haven't married yet, so why would I destroy my innocence and take someone by force? With my appearance and character, how can I worry about not having a beautiful woman to fall in love with me?" Jiang Youzhen sighed and shook his head.
"How can we know Lord Jiang's hobby? It seems Lord Jiang refuses to admit it?"
Yu Zhaorong's eyes flashed with gloom, "Does Lord Jiang dare to let us search? If we find anything, Lord Jiang will be unable to defend himself."
"What if we can't find it?" Jiang Youzhen looked very calm.
Yu Zhaorong suddenly felt unsure. He glanced at the man and found that he nodded again, so he said, "If you can't find it, I am willing to bear the crime of falsely accusing an official of the imperial court!"
Let’s make a bet now, this Jiang Youzhen guy is just pretending to be calm!
Jiang Youzhen would never think of his plan. Impossible! He absolutely could not be frightened by Jiang Youzhen.
"But why should I search you? Who are you?" Jiang Youzhen suddenly sneered.
"Sir Jiang, I have no choice but to accept this case! They are not qualified, but I am the judge. Since the public is excited, I must give an explanation to the people and the victims."
"I wonder if I am qualified?" Judge Wu looked at Jiang Youzhen, his eyes flashing with a determined look.
"Yes! We need to search the government office!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"Yes! Whether it is hidden or not, wouldn't it be possible to prove their innocence by searching the government office?" Everyone started discussing again.
"Don't be guilty, are you?"
"Could it be that he really robbed it?"
Seeing a group of yamen runners standing at the door, staring at him eagerly, Jiang Youzhen imprinted the faces of these people in his mind, not letting any of them go.
"Yes! Get out of the way and let someone go in to search."
"Master Jiang, I'm sorry!"
At the order given by Judge Wu, Qin Yandong became furious. Just as he was about to scold, a gentle female voice came from outside the door.
"grandfather!"
