Chapter 271 Confrontation at the Yamen

The expressions of the Dong Jichang brothers changed. They wanted to say something, but when they met Xie Lianyuan's sharp eyes, they couldn't show it. At this point, they had no choice but to retreat.

Dong Jiping gritted his teeth and bowed his head: "What the common people said is what happened today. The Dong family has indeed lost the Yunzemeng formula. Please take a closer look."

Xie Lianyuan took a deep look at them and handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Write down the complaint and stamp it with your fingerprints. I will immediately lead someone to investigate."

Dong Jichang hesitantly picked up the pen and kept thinking about the wording while writing the petition. Xie Lianyuan did not rush him and drank tea slowly, silently thinking about what to do next.

When the Dong brothers finished writing the complaint and stamped it with their thumbprints, Xie Lianyuan asked people to put the things away. Just as he was about to get up and take the yamen out, he saw a group of people rushing into the yamen in a menacing manner.

After seeing the person clearly, Xie Lianyuan knelt down directly and said, "I'm going to pay homage to King Rui and Xiaoyao. I wonder what important matters the two princes have come to the government office today?"

This is not a good place for him. These two giant Buddhas came to the door with great force. Something big must have happened. Ouch, what kind of day is it today? How come they all came together!

Xie Lianyuan doubts life while serving him with caution.

The Dong brothers originally wanted to sneak away, but unexpectedly they saw Dong Changqing coming in with the two princes. At that moment, their steps were frozen and they could not move any further.

Mr. Rui sat down angrily, pointed at Dong Changqing and yelled at Xie Lianyuan, "Go and call his parents over. I have something to ask."

The faces of the Dong Jichang brothers changed drastically, and they quickly stepped forward to salute.

Mr. Rui asked with a worried look on his face: "Who are you?"

Dong Jichang braced himself and replied respectfully: "Dong Jichang of the Dong family of Cao Min, this is Dong Jiping, the younger brother of Cao Min."

"Your surname is Dong?" Mr. Rui sneered and looked at Dong Changqing, "Are they the two who framed your parents and made your parents take the blame?"

“You are wronged, Your Majesty!” Dong Jichang brothers both knelt down and begged for mercy.

Dong Changqing stared at the two people with a look of resentment, gritted his teeth and nodded, "It's just the two of them! But the person who threatens the young parents is the head of the Dong family."

Xie Lianyuan still had an impression of the Dong family's case. At that time, he only felt that the Dong family was unkind. He did not expect that the victim could find such a big backer to come back and reverse the case.

Since it was Lord Rui who spoke, how could Xie Lianyuan dare to neglect him? He immediately ordered someone to go to the dungeon to pick up the person.

Soon Dong Changqing’s parents, Dong Maoyan and Pu, were brought up.

Having not seen each other for half a year, the two of them seemed to have aged by more than ten years, their faces were covered with dirt, and their bodies were thin. They had completely lost the appearance in Dong Changqing’s memory.

Dong Changqing saw their miserable appearance and couldn't help but burst into tears, "Mom and Dad."

Dong Maoyan and his wife looked over in disbelief when they heard the sound.

"Son! Son!" Pu's gray eyes burst with life instantly, and even though his hands and feet were shackled, he still struggled to get close to Dong Changqing. Dong Maoyan was only surprised for a moment when he saw Dong Jichang and Dong Jiping kneeling aside. He immediately panicked and stammered, "Changqing, why are you here at the Yamen? This is not where you, a child, should come!"

Dong Maoyan was very anxious, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. He just kept looking at Dong Jichang with pleading eyes.

It’s not like Old Prince Rui has never seen the suffering in the world. Seeing the misery of Dong Maoyan and his wife, his face remained calm. He only asked: "Dong Maoyan, I want to ask you, is the problem with the Bai family's batch of wine related to you?" ? This king only gives you one chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I will definitely punish you for the above crime!”

Dong Maoyan's face turned pale and he looked helpless. When he saw his son standing next to Prince Rui, he felt that this matter had something to do with his son. He was anxious and angry, but he stopped talking.

Dong Changqing was the first to lose his temper and complained with tears: "You signed and postponed the painting, and the head of the family said that you brought shame to the Dong family. My existence is a stain on the Dong family. In order to prevent the Dong family from being humiliated, the head of the family sold me."

"What?" Dong Maoyan was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he glared at Dong Jichang and Dong Jiping angrily, "Didn't you promise me that you would treat my son well? This is how you treat him well!"

"I" Dong Jichang was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "We didn't sell him. He ran away unwillingly and was eventually trafficked by a gangster."

“You’re talking nonsense!” Dong Changqing retorted loudly, holding his neck.

Old Prince Rui sneered, "Wouldn't it be clear if Dong Changqing got lost on his own or if he was betrayed and sent someone to check?"

Xie Lianyuan immediately sent someone to handle it.

Dong Jichang immediately collapsed on the ground, his eyes were blank, and there were only two things in his mind - it's over!

It had only been about half a year since Dong Changqing was sold. In addition, the situation was special, and the government officials only needed to visit to find out the truth.

When Xie Lianyuan learned the truth about Dong Changqing's betrayal, he was furious, "Come here! Go to Dong's house to arrest Dong Jihong!"

Dong Jichang was horrified, gritted his teeth, turned around and kowtowed to Dong Maoyan and his wife, admitting his mistake, "I was angry because the fake heirloom master ordered the sale of Changqing. Everything was my idea and has nothing to do with the master. If you want to be held accountable, just go to the police." Come with me!"

Dong Maoyan clenched his fists resentfully and said nothing.

Mrs. Pu cried heartbrokenly and kept shouting: "It was you who promised to take good care of Changqing that we took the blame for you. It was you who promised. How could you be so shameless! How could you treat a child like this! He He is a good citizen, not a sinner! Why should the Dong family sell him at will?"

The state of Qi does not allow the buying and selling of people. Some poor families who cannot survive will also sell their children. Biological parents are allowed to sell their young children because they cannot survive, but they cannot sell their adult children unless the children sell themselves. .

Dong Changqing's situation is not within the scope allowed by the law. If they are really investigated, the Dong family will be punished. The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is because they are sure that Dong Changqing can't stir up any trouble. They never expected that Dong Changqing could find Prince Rui. Such a great backer.

Dong Jichang had nothing to say. He had kept his head down and remained silent since he admitted that he had taken the initiative to sell Dong Changqing.

Mrs. Pu was filled with anger and had no way to vent, so she told the story on the spot of how the head of the Dong family threatened the couple to confess, "Sir, the commoner woman and the child's father are just the most inconspicuous existences in the winery. There are so many people in the winery." Man, we can’t even touch the finished wine jar, how can we tamper with the wine?

According to the rules of the Dong family, each batch of wine has to be tasted by a dedicated person before it is released. The batch of wine sent to Duke Anguo's Mansion was still good in the winery. The problem only occurred after leaving the Dong family. Even if the two women had Even Tongtian’s ability can’t do it!

Moreover, the person who threatens the two women is the eldest son of the family head, Dong Yao, the next head of the Dong family. The woman really doesn’t understand what this matter has to do with Dong Yao. Why is he the one who takes the lead? "
