292. The true face of Nangong Lian (for the first tribute, Lord Vancci's hahaha)(1/2)
After a long period of quietness, the atmosphere became a little weird and the maid was at a loss.
It seemed that this was the first time she had encountered such a thing and didn't know how to deal with it.
When I was worried, I heard Nangong Lian chuckling, with a little coldness in my heart.
"Take them in, I want to see, what do they want to say to me!"
"Yes, princess." The maid didn't care about saluting and hurried out.
After a while, four or five people who looked like country men came in.
In the delicate pearls and treasures all over the room, several rough men suddenly appeared. Some wives unconsciously covered their noses with a veil, as if they had some unpleasant smell on them.
The first time those people entered such a bright and luxurious house, they were surrounded by the fragrance of soft and fragrant powder for the first time, and their hands were so nervous that they didn't know how to place them.
Nangong Lian pursed her lips slightly, "I heard you want to see me?"
One of the men in his thirties walked forward and bowed uneasyly, "Little... Litou is the long-term worker in the village in the countryside of Luzhou."
Someone started to start, and the few behind him calmed down a little, walked up to me and introduced them one by one, all of whom were long-term workers in various farms under Nangong Lian’s name.
A woman covering her nose said, "Since she is the princess's subordinate, she must have come to pay tribute to the little princess. Why didn't she leave after receiving the reward silver? Could it be that you want to bully the master?"
"The villain dares not." Li Tou, who took the lead, said: "The villain came to find the princess because he wanted to ask the princess to pay the wages that he owed more than 200 people in the village for more than a year."
The wages arrears! The ladies stared at each other.
"The villain is the same. The long-term workers in the villain's farm have not received their wages for three years."
"It's been more than two years for the villain."
The ladies looked at each other and were owed wages? Isn't this possible?
"You're wrong? The princess is known as a good man in Qingzhou."
"I think you clearly took the opportunity to blackmail!"
Since Nangong Lian came to Qingzhou, she donated money and did a lot of good deeds, and the people of Qingzhou City all saw it.
The men were all honest people, their faces flushed red, "If the wife doesn't believe it, the villain is willing to call everyone in the village to confront them!"
The ladies were blocked and couldn't help but believe it.
But if Nangong Lian did such a thing, they would not believe it no matter what.
"Maybe it was to manage Zhuangzi's manager, deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates." One person said: "Princess, you have to check this matter carefully."
Ye Miao noticed that after hearing this, Nangong Lian, whose expression was a little tense, relaxed.
"Mrs. Li mentioned that these people were willing to risk their lives to make trouble at Azhu's full moon banquet. I guess they were really wronged." Nangong Lian said gently: "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."
"Thank you, Princess!" Several men were very grateful when they heard this.
Li Tou knelt down, "Princess, the villain still has something to ask for!"
Nangong Lian smiled and said, "Tell me."
"A few years ago, a friend of the villain went to ask the manager for an explanation and disappeared. The villain searched for a few days, but found his body on the back mountainside. He was beaten to death! Please ask the princess to investigate clearly and give justice to the villain's friend!"
He was usually asked for wages, but he was beaten to death! This manager is too courageous!
The ladies couldn't help but be amazed and whispered to each other.
Several others also said that when people in the village asked for wages, they disappeared or suddenly became disabled.
Nangong Lian's mouth froze unconsciously, and her face showed anger, "It's too much! I will definitely investigate this matter!"
After saying that, he shouted to the outside of the door: "Come, take them down and get a good place!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Several people couldn't help but follow the maid happily.
After the few left, Nangong Lian's face was still angry, and the noble ladies looked at each other a few times and spoke comforting her.
"Princess, don't be angry. It's all that damn manager. Let the princess bear the reputation of being mean to the servant for no reason."
"Yes, princess, we all understand, how could you do such a thing?"
Nangong Lian's expression improved a little, and she sighed and said, "It's all my fault for not being able to control her."
The ladies comforted each other for a while and then turned the topic to Ye Zhu.
After saying a few words, the previous maid ran in with a panic look on her face, "Master...Princess, someone wants to see you again."
"Who is this time?" Nangong Lian said calmly.
"It's a sibling."
"I can't drive it away again, right? Okay, let them in." Nangong Lian stroked the forehead, "I want to see, which manager did something bad to do! I just solved it together today and used it as a way to accumulate blessings for Azhu!"
The ladies praised them all.
The maid quickly brought a pair of siblings, about sixteen and fourteen.
Seeing Nangong Lian, both of them had angry flames in their eyes.
Nangong Lian frowned and thought for a while. She couldn't remember where she had seen the brother and brother. She said with a kind face: "Where are you? What kind of injustice have you suffered?"
"Princess Chunhua is really a noble person who forgets things. Don't you remember that it is our siblings?" The one who spoke was his sister, and his tone was quite striking.
Nangong Lian’s daughter-in-law body could not allow others to talk to her in this tone. She immediately lowered her face and said sternly: “At a young age, no matter how high or inferiority is it, how did your adults teach you!”
The sister sneered, "Did Princess Chunhua forget? My father killed my mother for you, and later you sent someone to kill my father. My younger brother and my parents died, and no one taught me, so I was uneducated."
Nangong Lian's face changed, "How dare you talk nonsense about my reputation? People come and drag them down and send them to the government!"
Several servants came in to take the two away. The two siblings took out a dagger from their sleeves without fear and pressed them against their necks, "Princess, if you don't let us finish your words, my brother and I will commit suicide immediately!"
It would be unlucky if you see blood on a great day!
Nangong Lian's face turned pale. She couldn't really attack in front of so many people, so she could only sneer, "Okay, I'll let you say it! I see how you slander me!"
The sister said, "My father was originally a magistrate of Nanzhou. The princess went to Nanzhou for a trip three years ago and accidentally met my father. After that, she kept hinting that if my father was willing to divorce his wife, she would marry him and help him rise to the top."
"And she said that she was injured when she was young and could not have children, so she would treat me and my brother as her own. My father was originally a honest person, but he actually became greedy and wanted to divorce my mother. My mother disagreed. During the dispute, the two of them had a conflict. My father accidentally killed my mother, and was caught by my uncle on the spot and sent to prison!"
"My father sent someone to ask the princess for help. The princess was afraid of ruining her reputation, so she turned against her and refused to admit her. She also sent someone to kill my father overnight pretending to commit suicide in fear of guilt!"
"Not only that, we also burned our grandfather's family to death, disguised as a result of bandits robbing the household! If my grandfather hadn't had a long time of investigation and sent my brother and I away, we would have become two unjust souls in this world!"
She started to speak calmly, but later she became more and more excited, with a look of hope to die with Nangong Lian.
The ladies looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Three years ago, the case of a murder of his wife and a tragic death in the family outside the family three years ago has been heard of by everyone here.
But they never thought that this matter would be related to Nangong Lian!
Someone suddenly thought that three years ago, Nangong Lian did stay in Nanzhou for a while...
The familiar situation made Ye Li fall into an ice cellar. Except for the different endings, isn’t everything that the magistrate started exactly the same as her?
I kept hinting at her that it would be great to have her daughter and would treat her as her own.
Step by step, she made her fictional future for her, so that she could not hesitate to set fire to death Fan Zhiqiu and Ye Jing.
If the matter was revealed in the end, her fate would be exactly the same as that of the magistrate: she died in prison inexplicably!
"Nonsense! When will I recognize your father?" Nangong Lian scolded sternly, his expression was less elegant than before, which made people wonder.
"Come on, pull this pair of bitches who are tainting my reputation!"
However, not everyone doubted it. After all, as Nangong Lian's identity, if you want to recruit a prince consort, you are willing to do so, so why bother to find a man with a wife?
The sister had finished speaking, and she signaled her brother to put away the dagger, spit hard at Nangong Lian, and let the people take it away.
After this incident, the faces of the noble ladies in the house were very exciting.
Someone forced a smile and said, "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, the princess will explain it to them at that time."
Nangong Lian's face looked very bad. I don't know if she was angry and had no smile at all.
"I can't just let it go no matter what! I must find out who is behind the scenes!" she said gritting her teeth.
This attitude made some people who were half-believing and half-doubted believe her again.
"Master...Princess..." The maid ran in again before.
Nangong Lian looked at her, and the murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "Who is here to find me again! Bring it in, bring it all in! I will solve it at one time!"
"Yes, princess." The maid ran out quickly.
Five or six people were brought in a short while.
There are old and young, men and women, and there is no similarity in appearance, and it doesn't look like a family.
The only thing that is slightly similar is that although they are dressed simply and simply and have a haggard face, they can be seen that they are both good-looking and demeanor.
Nangong Lian didn't know any of them, and looked at the group of people coldly without saying a word.
The princess' majesty dispersed, and many noble ladies in the house unconsciously straightened their spines.
However, none of these people retreated.
"My brother Wang Zu, I was the princess's escort ten years ago."
