www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Miracle Doctor’s Daughter!
Whether she's afraid or not, Feng Yuheng actually doesn't care. Ever since she came to the Dashun Dynasty, her life has not been peaceful for a single day. After all the storms and waves, is it possible that we still need to be afraid of the magistrate of Lanzhou? Are you still afraid of the eighth prince? Monsters came at them one by one, and she knew that the ones left behind would be BOSS. She was afraid that it would be useless, so she could only hone herself and continue to rush forward. After rushing over, the sea and the sky would be brighter.
Jiang was taken away by Xu Jingyuan and did not come back that night. The next day, Ji Lingtian made up his mind to go to Feng Yuheng and try to find a way to keep the matter private before the Yuexi Palace banquet. , but news came from the government that the case of Jiang's theft of Princess Ji'an's beautiful jade will be held today, and Mr. Ji is invited to attend.
Ji Lingtian had to change his itinerary temporarily and went to the government first. He originally thought that since he had been invited to attend, Princess Jian must also be invited. She would see her everywhere, so why not go to the government office. What's more, if his wife's case is heard in court, he won't feel relieved if he doesn't go and see it.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng was not seen when he arrived at the government office. In addition to Jiang and Jixiang, there was a witness in the hall. It was said that he was the person in charge of Nirvana Pavilion, named Qingyu.
Ji Lingtian gritted his teeth with hatred and couldn't help but ask Xu Jingyuan: "Master Xu, what do you mean by this? Since I can let you come out to observe, why don't you see Princess Ji'an here?"
Xu Jingyuan was puzzled, "Why is the princess here?"
"Humph!" Ji Lingtian said coldly: "I'm already here, what's the point of her not coming?"
Xu Jingyuan understood clearly, "It turns out that Master Ji is competing with the princess. Then I will come to settle the accounts for you. As the magistrate of the state, I obey the fifth-grade officials. However, because there is no province on the southern border, Lanzhou It also occupies a very large area, so Lord Ji’s rank is a third-rank official. In addition, Lanzhou is located on the border and has a special geographical environment. The court attaches great importance to it. Therefore, although the border magistrate is a third-rank official, he is also treated as a second-rank official. Lord Ji, Is what I said right?"
Ji Lingtian straightened his body and sat up again. He obviously valued this honor very much and nodded: "That's right."
"Then I don't understand!" Xu Jingyuan said loudly: "A mere second-grade official dares to compete with a first-grade princess for status? Lord Ji, are you confused because your wife is suspected of stealing or something? That's a princess, not a court official, but a conferment from the royal family!" Are you so full that you can compete with others? He was holding back the last sentence. If it weren't for this in court, Xu Jingyuan would have scolded him bloody. No matter what the boundaries are, he is still a parent official in the capital, no worse than Ji Lingtian.
Even so, Ji Lingtian's face turned red and white as he spoke. Hearing the laughter from the onlookers outside the hall, he suddenly felt that he couldn't stand listening to this anymore. A man who would have shaken the ground when he stamped his feet in Lanzhou was actually subjected to such ridicule when he arrived in the capital.
But he had no choice but to listen or not, so Xu Jingyuan was shocked and shouted: "Who are you kneeling in this hall!"
The trial has officially begun!
Chiang and Jixiang were detained in jail for a night, and their proud temperament had been worn away. When they saw their master being humiliated in court, at this moment, they had no other thoughts except fear. She answered whatever Xu Jingyuan asked, and finally revealed her identity clearly with a trembling voice. But when Xu Jingyuan finally asked about the key point of the case, Jiang suddenly regained her energy and retorted loudly: "That's not what you said at all! Princess Ji'an didn't throw away any beautiful jade at all, she sold it to me Yes, eighty million taels of silver!"
What Xu Jingyuan was waiting for was her words: "Oh, then did you give me the 80 million taels of silver?"
Ms. Jiang shook her head dejectedly, "The silver notes were not enough at that time, so she said I could take the jade back first, and then return it to her when I had enough money."
Qing Yu, who appeared as a witness on the side, burst into laughter, "Master Xu, Princess Ji'an is familiar with everyone in the capital, has she ever done such a loss-making business?"
Xu Jingyuan shook his head, "How is it possible? Let alone a box of high-quality jade, it is just a handkerchief. The princess cannot let you take it away first and then give the money."
The people sent by the princess's palace outside the hall to listen to the hall couldn't help but touch their foreheads. Is her princess so stingy?
However, Xu Jingyuan continued: "But when it comes to buying jade for eighty million taels, I have to ask this lady again, do you understand jade?"
Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Of course I understand."
Xu Jingyuan raised his hand and shouted: "Please come out of the hall, Bai Qiaojiang."
Soon, some officials invited Bai Qiaojiang out of the side hall. When Ji Lingtian saw Bai Qiaojiang coming, he couldn't help but frown. Speaking of understanding jade, the most skilled craftsman in the world is naturally the most knowledgeable person. Why did Xu Jingyuan invite him to do this?
While thinking about it, Bai Qiaojiang had already started to take a closer look at the box of beautiful jade. This glance lasted for half a cup of tea. When he finally looked away, he couldn't help but sigh: "The best jade, hard to find in ancient and modern times, the most precious treasure in the world."
These twelve words came from Bai Qiaojiang's mouth, which can be said to be a high affirmation for Nayu.
Xu Jingyuan asked Jiang again: "Madam, do you agree with Bai Qiaojiang's words?"
Jiang had no objection to this, so she nodded: "I agree."
"From Mrs. Nayi's perspective, what is the real value of this box of jade?" Xu Jingyuan asked Mr. Jiang, "Is it more or less than 80 million taels?"
For this box of jade, Mr. Jiang liked it extremely much, and he had already estimated its value in his heart. When Xu Jingyuan asked about it, he immediately said: "More than that. I have a shallow eye, but I also know that this jade is the best in the world. Eighty million taels of silver sounds like a lot, but compared with these jade, it is really... too much." It’s insignificant.”
Xu Jingyuan didn't say anything. He looked at Bai Qiaojiang. Bai Qiaojiang thought about it for a long time and gave a very fair price: "Eighty million taels, gold. Worth it!"
In one sentence, everyone who heard it took a breath of air. Those who were stopped outside the court to watch the excitement stretched their necks, desperately trying to take a look at the thing that could actually be worth 80 million. What exactly does the two-gold jade look like? It's a pity that they can't see the jade in the court.
Sitting on the side, Ji Lingtian felt his head buzzing. He had a premonition that not only was he certain to lose in this lawsuit, but he would also lose miserably.
Xu Jingyuan finally spoke again, still asking Mr. Jiang: "Bai Qiaojiang is the most skilled craftsman in the world. Do you agree with the value estimate he gave?"
Ms. Jiang sighed and nodded, "I agree."
So Xu Jingyuan said something else: "A beautiful jade worth 80 million taels of gold, but you said Princess Ji'an wanted to sell it to you for 80 million taels of silver. Madam, can you tell me what's going on?"
Ms. Jiang immediately said: "Maybe that princess doesn't understand jade!"
As soon as these words came out, Qingyu immediately said: "No! The princess doesn't understand, but His Highness the Ninth Highness understands. The Ninth Highness originally offered this box of jade for fifty million taels of gold, and they couldn't afford it because of their high income. ."
Ms. Jiang nodded, "Yes, so you gave up the price."
There was another burst of laughter inside and outside the hall. From 50 million taels of gold to 80 million taels of silver, is Princess Ji'an out of her mind?
Ms. Jiang also felt that this reason was untenable. At this time, Jixiang, who had been kneeling beside her without speaking, finally spoke, saying: "That's because they knew the identity of my wife! That's why they did it It was a smooth favor and the deal was sold for 80 million taels."
"What?" Xu Jingyuan and Qingyu both exclaimed at the same time, then Xu Jingyuan said: "You say it again? I didn't hear you clearly."
Jixiang said again: "I mean, they didn't know my wife's identity at first, so they opened their mouths! Later they found out that my wife was the wife of the governor of Lanzhou, and they were afraid, so they gave up the price! Come to think of it, ...I think I came here just to make some friends!"
Boom!
Laughing again inside and outside the hall!
This time, even Ji Lingtian couldn't sit still. He stood up and raised his foot to kick the girl, but was stopped by the official nearby.
Xu Jingyuan clapped his hands and shouted: "Quiet!"
Immediately, the officials in the hall responded in unison: "Might - force!"
Chiang trembled again when she heard Xu Jingyuan ask her: "Dignified Princess Ji'an, the Ninth Prince of the dynasty and the future concubine of His Royal Highness, do you think she will be dissatisfied because of your mere status as the wife of the magistrate of Lanzhou? Are you afraid? You gave up such a box of beautiful jade just to make friends?" After saying that, he looked at Ji Lingtian and said: "Master Ji, what do you think about this matter?"
Ji Lingtian closed his eyes slightly, and the anger in his heart was soaring! **** it! This girl will definitely strangle her to death when she goes back. She will succeed more than she will ruin.
He composed himself before replying: "She is just a girl who has no knowledge and talks nonsense. Master Xu should never take this as a conclusion. Princess Ji'an has a golden branch and jade leaves. Naturally, she looks down on me and other minor officials. Why? It can be intimidating."
Jiang almost cried and glared at Na Jixiang fiercely. Jixiang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he knelt there and did not dare to say a word. She didn't originally think so, but she was used to being quick-tongued and used to the fact that no one dared to mess with the Jiang family in the southern border, so she blurted out such words, and now she really regretted it.
Xu Jingyuan's words came again: "Ms. Jiang, in your case of stealing the beautiful jade from Princess Ji'an, are you pleading guilty or not?"
Ms. Jiang couldn’t argue, admit it, she really didn’t steal it, and she felt aggrieved. Don't admit it, the facts are laid out here one after another, and I have no position at all. Only then did she understand that the reason why the woman didn't even let her keep an IOU yesterday was because of this revenge. It was because of their arrogant words yesterday. It was because no one in the southern border dared to mess with her. So much so that when I arrived in Beijing, I was still a little unaccustomed to being under others. Now that I think about it, it is said that the princess of Ji'an will retaliate for her actions. This is true.
Jiang was silent for a long time, and then Ji Lingtian took over the words - "Just admit it, then tell me how to solve this matter?"
Xu Jingyuan looked at Qingyu: "Miss Qingyu has received instructions from the princess before she came. The Yuexi palace banquet is coming soon. It is not appropriate to make this matter too big, lest the magistrate of Lanzhou loses face in Beijing. Or It’s better to keep it private.”
Ji Lingtian nodded, "Thank you for the shirt."
Xu Jingyuan said again: "Then Miss Qingyu, let's talk about how to keep it secret!"
Qing Yu smiled and looked at Ji Lingtian: "My princess said that the secret would be nothing more than compensation of some money, so she just pretended that it never happened."
"Okay." Ji Lingtian could accept this method, "Girl, tell me how much the princess wants!"
Qing Yu smiled even more weirdly, "Not much, just the eighty million taels of silver!"
