The History of the Empress of the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 67
Ruojin ignored everyone's probing eyes and walked towards Chen Datong step by step.

There was always a sardonic smile on the corner of her mouth, which made Chen Datong's heart skip a beat for no reason, as if the ghost walking towards him was a life-threatening ghost.

"What did you say! It's a bunch of nonsense! What evidence do you have that I framed and framed..."

Chen Datong pretended to be calm, but after all, he couldn't have a clear conscience. Seeing that Ruojin's expression seemed to confirm his actions, he was naturally a little bit unconfident.

Thinking about it carefully, what he did was so flawless, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't believe that Su Ruojin could give any evidence!

Chen Datong shrugged, secretly sighed that he was too useless, and was almost bluffed by a little girl.

"Mr. Chen, since you said that you agreed on a price and paid the silver to take Miss Qiuer away, then I would like to ask, how much silver did you agree on, and how much silver did you give Qiuerniang? "

If Ruojin was smiling but not smiling, as soon as the question came out, everyone looked at Chen Datong one after another.

Chen Datong panicked, just now he hurriedly grabbed a handful of silver and stuffed it in the confusion, how did he know how much silver there was?

Besides, he usually didn't need to bring money when he went out, but today something was wrong with him, so he grabbed some money on his body on the spur of the moment, but he really didn't know how much money was there.

Even if he looked at the bits of silver scattered on the ground, he couldn't seem to figure out how much it was...

Poor Chen Datong always hugs and shouts when he goes out. The second generation of ancient officials like him walk sideways, and they don't need to spend money by themselves.

Chen Datong remained silent for a long time, and the people around him had already begun to discuss in low voices. Before he knew it, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Ruojin was not in a hurry, and stood there straight with a smile on his face, as if it had nothing to do with this matter.

Qiu Erniang who fell on the ground suddenly stopped crying, a trace of nervousness flashed in her eyes, she tugged at her sleeves, bit her lips tightly and remained silent.

"These are all done by my subordinates, how do I know?"

Chen Datong suddenly thought of a good idea, and immediately shifted the responsibility to his subordinates.

"Oh? Really, let your subordinates come out and talk about it."

Ruojin didn't intend to let him go just like that, she turned her eyes to the gray-clothed servant behind him, this guy should be the leader of this group of minions.

The attendant was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that he would be implicated innocently, his face turned blue, and he was afraid to stand up.

If you say this kind of thing right, everyone will be happy and reward you generously, but if you say it wrong, the master will not accept any affection from you, and maybe even an unhappy one will kill you!

The attendant Hei shivered and refused to come out with a sullen face, but Chen Datong gave him a look, which scared him into a shiver, and stood up with a "噗".

Strongly steadying his trembling body, he glanced at Qiu Erniang, and the few ingots of silver scattered on the ground glistened, almost blinding his eyes.

Seeing this, he calmed down a bit.

Although the silver is not whole, it is not small and not very broken, and he can roughly estimate how much it is.

Estimated the number in his heart, he straightened his waist, and it was the only way to do it.

"Returning to the girl, the price agreed at the beginning was 25 taels. The servant saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, so he specially gave it a little more."

This attendant is also smart, and only gave a vague number. Ruojin is not an idiot, so he naturally understands his tricks, and will not give him a chance to get away with it.
