The God of Wealth has finally been demoted

◎The imperial envoy arrived. ◎

The next day, before Second Sister Qin went to visit Master Liu, Master Liu sent the young man at home to report to her first.

After reading the letter, Second Sister Qin felt mixed feelings, so she took the letter with her to find Li Xiao.

She came early, and Li Xiao was eating with Zhao Diyao, to be precise, Zhao Diyao was standing and serving Li Xiao to eat.

Seeing Li Xiao's style, Second Sister Qin thought that he was eating some rare delicacies.Second Sister Qin couldn't be sure for a while, whether this Li Xiao in front of her was the maid she bought, Ali, or her "Sister Immortal".

Li Xiao, on the other hand, saw Second Sister Qin and smiled kindly and kindly at her, "Why are you here?"

This tone, this posture, must be her "sister fairy".Second Sister Qin felt relieved, she glanced at Zhao Diyao, and hesitated to speak.

Li Xiao understood her scruples, and lied without blinking, "For the convenience of walking, let my servant borrow his body for a while."

"Sister is very considerate." Second Sister Qin was completely relieved.

Second Sister Qin sat down at the dinner table and handed Master Liu's letter to Li Xiao, "Look, sister, this is a letter from Master Liu just arrived."

Li Xiao accepted the letter, "...the new emperor will amnesty the world after ascending the throne, which is a good thing. The imperial court sent an imperial envoy to retry your father's case..."

"That's right," Second Sister Qin said worriedly, "This case in my family is not very eye-catching. How could the imperial court send an imperial envoy here? If so, Lord Liu can't decide."

"Do you know the name and origin of this imperial envoy?"

"I don't know." Second Sister Qin said, "Sister, can you accompany me to Master Liu's house and see if I can find out more useful news?"

"That's natural." Li Xiao agreed without hesitation, but he changed the subject and asked Second Sister Qin, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

Li Xiao told Zhao Diyao, "Go, bring the second sister's meal here."

"Yes." Zhao Diyao turned around and left.

"You," Li Xiao stuffed a new pair of chopsticks into Second Sister Qin's hands, "No matter what you are going to do, eat your food first, you are too thin."

"En!" Second Sister Qin gratefully picked up the chopsticks.

After all, Second Sister Qin is the owner of the Qin Mansion, so her food is naturally much more refined and richer than what Li Xiao ate before.Accompanied by "Sister Immortal", Second Sister Qin had a good meal for the first time in so many days.However, during the meal, Second Sister Qin always felt that there was a cold air coming from time to time. I wonder if it was an illusion?

After the meal, Second Sister Qin took Li Xiao out, and Zhao Diyao consciously followed.

"You..." Li Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Diyao.

Zhao Diyao looked back firmly, that expression meant that he would never give in and must follow.

Second Sister Qin also noticed it, and hurriedly said: "This...Master Immortal, of course we can go together."

"Okay." Li Xiao shrugged.

When going out this time, Second Sister Qin took Li Xiao into the carriage.Second Sister Qin was grateful and dependent on Li Xiao, even though the carriage was very spacious, she still sat next to Li Xiao and held his arm affectionately.

Li Xiao regards Second Sister Qin as a junior and Quan as his niece, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong.It may also be because he is now a female face, so he doesn't respond to the approach of girls.

But Zhao Diyao was not happy anymore, he had a stinky face since he went out, as if Li Xiao owed him money.Li Xiao and Second Sister Qin were in a carriage, and he rode on one side. Originally, there was a curtain blocking him, so Li Xiao couldn't see him all the way.

But for some reason, along the way, there was always a gust of wind blowing the curtains, and Li Xiao happened to be able to see Zhao Diyao's face from the opened corner.

As soon as Second Sister Qin approached him, Zhao Diyao's face tensed up a bit, and he would give Li Xiao a stern look from the side from time to time, which made Li Xiao inexplicably guilty and always felt that his behavior was not dignified.

After finally arriving at Master Liu's house, Li Xiao hurriedly got out of the carriage, consciously keeping a polite distance from Second Sister Qin.

After all, Li Xiao was Second Sister Qin's maid when he was outside, and when he was in front of outsiders, Second Sister Qin stopped pestering him and acted like a master.

Second Sister Qin is a frequent visitor to Liu's residence. Master Liu knew she was coming, so he sent a housekeeper to greet her.The housekeeper welcomed Second Sister Qin and the others into the main hall, and Master Liu was walking around anxiously with his hands behind his back.

"The daughter of the people pays homage to Master Liu." Second Sister Qin has always been courteous outside, even though she has a very good personal relationship with Master Liu, she will bow down first when meeting.

Li Xiao and Zhao Diyao were about to kneel down, but Master Liu had already helped Second Sister Qin up, "Second Sister, don't be polite to me, the imperial envoy will be able to enter the city at noon, and I will bring someone to meet him later !"

Seeing Master Liu's expression, Second Sister Qin's heart sank, "Did you hear something about it, Master?"

Lord Liu clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it heavily on the palm of his left hand, "Exactly. I already understand what you mean, second sister. Since you are willing to let go, and you have been granted amnesty by the new emperor, it will be a matter of time before you release your father and Baoyu. But somehow , The imperial court attaches so much importance to this case that it even sent an imperial envoy. The imperial envoys have always been on inspections, and they have always investigated and dealt with them seriously. Do you have any other questions about the goods your family gave to the imperial family?"

Asked by Mr. Liu, Second Sister Qin was not sure, "I can definitely guarantee that there will be no problem. We are all cautious when supplying goods to the emperor. Even those brocades made of broken silk , from the outside, there is no problem at all, and it will never affect the use. As for the others... I was locked in the backyard for a while, and it would be bad if there was a problem with the goods during that time!"

Master Liu sighed, "That's what I'm worried about. I'm afraid that this lord will not only check the brocade, but also check other things. I know that your father spent a lot of money in order to make connections..."

Second Sister Qin's face turned pale, "But these are unavoidable... They asked for it, but my father is just a merchant, how can I refuse?"

"I know that too, but will your superiors listen to you?" Master Liu was also worried, "Second sister, you have to prepare for the worst. I heard that the new emperor is young and promising, and wants to implement new policies, and he hates collusion between government and businessmen the most. Regarding corruption, this Imperial Envoy Bo is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, but in his early thirties, he has a cold and cruel face when he leaves the door."

"Master Bo, which one is Bo?" Li Xiao couldn't help interjecting.

"Are you...?" Master Liu looked at Li Xiao suspiciously.

Li Xiao hurriedly lowered his head, "The servant girl made a slip of the tongue."

At this moment, a servant from Liu's mansion ran over quickly, "My lord, a letter from the guard at the city gate, saying that the imperial envoy's carriage has already entered the city!"

"What, so fast!"

The little servant said, "The imperial envoy also sent someone to send a message that he will be promoted immediately after he arrives at the government. Please send the message to the treasurer of the Qin family."

The shopkeeper of the Qin family is referring to the second sister Qin.

Master Liu looked at Second Sister Qin, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Second Sister will go with me."

"Yes."

Mr. Liu quickly changed the government office, and went to the government court with Second Sister Qin and his party.

Mr. Liu and the officials from the government were waiting to greet him at the door, while Second Sister Qin, Li Xiao and Zhao Diyao were waiting in the courtroom.

Second Sister Qin held Li Xiao's hand worriedly, "Sister, what should I do?"

Li Xiao comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm in charge of everything, let's see how divine this Master Bo is."

Suddenly, Zhao Diyao inserted a hand between the two of them, and Second Sister Qin let go of Li Xiao's hand.

"Miss, wipe off your sweat." Zhao Diyao held a handkerchief in his hand.

"Oh, okay, thank you." Second Sister Qin took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead mechanically twice.Well, she wasn't sweating.However, just now she felt a strong murderous aura again!

At this time, the officials waiting outside the door knelt on the ground with "Hula Hula", Master Liu shouted: "Your Majesty, I welcome the Imperial Envoy!"

All the officials said in unison: "Welcome to the imperial envoy!"

Second Sister Qin, Li Xiao and Zhao Diyao hurriedly knelt down together.

"Get up." A man's voice came, the tone was neither high nor low, and the speed of the speech was neither too fast nor too slow, but it shocked people's minds for no reason.

Second Sister Qin's ears couldn't help pricking up. The voice was really nice, magnetic, and somewhat alienated.

A group of people wearing official boots and robes entered the courtroom. Second Sister Qin didn't dare to look up, but only saw the black official boots and the hem of the purple official uniforms surrounded by the people standing at the front.

The darker the official uniform of this dynasty, the higher the official position. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is from the second rank, and it is the purple official uniform.This person is the imperial envoy.

The imperial envoy paused in front of Second Sister Qin, then walked towards the case.

The imperial envoy is here, Master Liu only dares to stand beside him.After he sat down after the official case, he pointed out Second Sister Qin to him, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Bo, this is the shopkeeper of the Qin family—Second Sister Qin."

"Oh? Look up." Master Bo said calmly.

Second Sister Qin raised her head according to her words, Li Xiao also raised her eyes secretly, and when she glanced over, both of them were stunned!

Second Sister Qin only felt that clusters of flowers were blooming around Mr. Bo, and there was an intoxicating fragrance of flowers in the air.This lord is so handsome!

Previously, in Second Sister Qin's imagination, this Mr. Bo should be fierce and vicious. Unexpectedly, his face is like a crown jade, his body is like a pine and cypress, his eyebrows are like ink painting, his lips are like dandelion, and he has a heavy literary spirit.

For so many years, Second Sister Qin has never been moved by a man, but just now, when she raised her head, Mr. Bo also looked at her. A thought came to mind: Have we met before?But this is impossible.

And Li Xiao was stunned because, oh my god, this imperial envoy Mr. Bo is none other than Bo Jin, the emperor of the southeast!

Although the figure is much taller and slender than before, and the appearance has become handsome and handsome, there is nothing wrong with it. This is the only goddess among the nine emperors—Bo Jin.She turned into a man.

No wonder the little Peach Blossom Demon said she was coming today, and she really came!

"Get up and talk." Bo Jin said.She looked around and found that many people gathered around the gate of the court to watch, so she told Master Liu, "This case involves the royal family, so it is not suitable for a public trial. Close the door."

"Yes!"

Amid the boos of the people, the officials quickly sealed the gate.

Bo Jin could be called amiable to Second Sister Qin, she said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty is concerned about this case, please explain the matter in detail."

Mr. Liu felt a little strange. If the case was to be retried, the logic should be to check the case file first, and then bring Mr. Qin and Qin Baoyu to trial. Why did Mr. Bo ask about Second Sister Qin directly?However, no matter how much doubts Mr. Liu had, he did not dare to make a sound.

Second Sister Qin gritted her teeth, and knelt down straight, "Your Excellency, I have found out that the report by the civilian daughter was that the father and younger brother used broken silk instead of long silk to make brocade. It is true, but I am the one who started it, not them."

"Second sister!" Master Liu couldn't help reminding her, "Stop talking nonsense in front of the imperial envoy!"

Bo Jin raised his hand to signal Master Liu to shut up, but there was a smile in his voice, "Please tell me carefully."

"...I got the list through bidding, and I handled everything by myself. The silk harvest was not good that year, and the amount of filament was far from meeting the demand, but the highly skilled silk reeling lady could cut the silk. Silk knots are used as filaments, which are the same as natural filaments, and can save costs, so I found a silk reeling lady who mastered this craft..."

"As far as I know, all the documents and bills are signed by your father and your brother. How can you prove that it is you?" Bo Jin asked.

The second sister Qin took a deep breath, "Because I am a woman, my signature is invalid, so I can only borrow from my father and younger brother. But for everything I handle, in addition to the signature, I will inscribe the word Qin to distinguish it." .”

Bo Jin said: "Go and bring Master Qin and Qin Baoyu here."

After a while, Mr. Qin and his son, who were dressed in prison uniforms, were escorted here.

Master Qin gave Second Sister Qin a hard look, "You unfilial daughter!"

Second Sister Qin didn't even give Master Qin a look.

However, to everyone's surprise, in the face of Bo Jin's interrogation, Master Qin and Qin Baoyu insisted that the replacement of long silk with broken silk was master Qin's mastermind and had nothing to do with Second Sister Qin.

The second sister Qin was shocked and didn't understand why they said that.

Bo Jin's purpose was not to solve the case, but after a round of questioning, he had Master Qin and his son taken back to the cell.

Second Sister Qin looked at their backs and murmured: "I don't understand, I really did this."

Bo Jin got up and said to Second Sister Qin: "Take your little maid and go to the cell with me. Master Liu can follow alone."

Although everyone was confused, they followed Bo Jin to the monitoring room of the cell.Each prison has a listening room, made of special stone, which can clearly hear the movement in each cell.

"Shut up, listen carefully." Bo Jin said.

At first, the whole prison was silent.After a while, the voices of Master Qin and Qin Baoyu came over clearly.

Master Qin coughed violently.

"How are you, Daddy?" Qin Baoyu patted his back lightly to help him feel better.

"I can't die!" Master Qin was still angry.

Qin Baoyu sat down slumped, "Father, are we really going to die?"

"A man, don't be afraid of death!"

Qin Baoyu didn't say anything more, the two of them were silent for a while, Master Qin said: "For some reason today, another adult came to re-interrogate us, you can listen carefully, no matter how they interrogate, only the matter of killing us is my instigator. , don't mention your sister."

"But……"

"What? But, did you hear the death knell? The old emperor's funeral and the new emperor's enthronement will surely pardon the world. You shouldn't be able to die, and that's what I'm going to do. If your sister is convicted of being an envoy and false accusation , Amnesty to the world will not save her."

Qin Baoyu sighed, "Daddy still loves Second Sister very much. If I knew this, why didn't Daddy give her some of the family property, so that there will be no such troubles later."

"Fart!" Master Qin scolded, "Those properties belong to our old Qin family, how can we give them to our daughter? The daughter is an outsider, and you are the serious heir. You must guard these properties!"

Qin Baoyu said speechlessly: "Father, now you and I are here, and all the property is in the hands of the second sister, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, you will never die!" Master Qin said to himself, "I found someone to do the trick, and your wealth and prosperity in this life will definitely not be inferior to mine."

Qin Baoyu said bitterly: "Okay. Daddy, you really should apologize to Second Sister. Second Sister has paid too much for this family."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? How can I apologize to my daughter in the world! The second sister is ignorant, and you are also confused!" Master Qin became annoyed when he mentioned the second sister Qin, "It's all my fault that I raised her so much that I wanted to As the master of Lao Tzu, I don't even look at who gave birth to her..."

……

In the listening room, everyone was shocked by Master Qin's arrogance.

Second Sister Qin was a little moved at first, but she couldn't help being angry when she heard it later, "He's just like this, he's used to being strong, and he never admits his mistakes."

Li Xiao finally understood that Mr. Qin, a stubborn old man, really loved Second Sister Qin, but in his heart, his daughter would never be as good as his precious son.This, really cannot be persuaded.

Bo Jin said: "Second Sister Qin, is it really you who is the chief envoy?"

Second Sister Qin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "My lord, you have also heard that this matter is indeed my instigation. I hate my father's injustice, so I falsely accused him and Baoyu. My lord Liu was also deceived by me. I am willing to be punished."

"Second sister..." Master Liu plucked up the courage to plead with Bo Jin, "My lord, please forgive me lightly."

Bo Jin smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You go, let the father and son go."

Mr. Liu was shocked, but he didn't dare to move.

"Wait," Bo Jin looked at Second Sister Qin, "Second Sister, do you think we should put them away now, or lock them up for a few more days until you calm down completely?"

Second Sister Qin stammered: "...If you can let it go now, now, let's..."

"Okay," Bo Jin said, "release him immediately!"

Qin's father and son who were waiting to die in prison were suddenly acquitted, and both of them were dumbfounded.

Mr. Liu was also dumbfounded. He finally found time to walk up to Second Sister Qin, "Second Sister, you know Mr. Bo, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Second Sister Qin was also dumbfounded, "I really don't know him."

"You, you!" Master Liu doesn't believe a word of her now, "Master Bo said, I want to live in your other courtyard, hurry up and prepare!"

"Oh... good, good!"

When he came out of the government office, Li Xiao could only laugh and laugh, but Bo Jin was really good at playing, and directly possessed the imperial envoy, who had the same surname as her.He and Zhao Diyao returned to the Qin residence with Second Sister Qin, but Li Xiao always felt as if he forgot something.

Yue Lao who was forgotten in the prison cell: ...How dare these immortals come here, but none of them think of me?Do you want me to lead the red line for you! ! !
