Chapter 275
When Jinyiwei's men rushed into the Liangyu Kiln Factory, Song Tao was so frightened that she became so weak that she couldn't even lift her hands.
If Song Ren hadn't pulled her, she would have been kicked to the ground by Jin Yiwei's men.
Even so, when the Jin Yiwei who led the team knew that she was the person in charge of the kiln factory, he still waved his hand, and she was dragged into the cell of the county government and locked up.
She grabbed the arm-thick wooden railing of the cell and begged bitterly: "Master, have you made a mistake? I am just a person in charge of firing porcelain hired by the Hong Family Kiln Factory. It’s fine, I don’t know anything about it, what did you lock me in for?”
Jin Yiwei in charge of the cell is a man with a scar on his face. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "You are the ones who are locked up—the Hong family participated in the smuggling of porcelain from Prince Ning's Mansion. Aren't you the manager of the kiln? You don't know what happened, who knows?!"
"How could the kiln be involved in the smuggling of porcelain from Prince Ning's Mansion? Our kiln has only been in operation for less than half a year, and we only burn sacrificial porcelain. There are plenty of places where it is sold. If you don't believe it, you can ask people in Jingdezhen, everyone They can all be proved." Song Tao desperately wanted to fight for a chance for himself to speak clearly, but the scar-faced Jin Yiwei didn't even look at him, and gave a few words to the prison chief of the county government, turned around and left.
It was only then that she realized that the old man Hong and the brothers Hong Xi and Hong Zhao were locked up in the cell next door.
"Grandpa!" She shouted for help, tears welling in her eyes.
Although they were imprisoned, the members of the Hong family were still neatly dressed. The old man Hong even sat cross-legged on the haystack in the cell with his eyes closed, his demeanor was no different from usual. Hong Xi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall opposite Old Master Hong, looking at the small window of the cell, with a calm face, not knowing what he was thinking. On the contrary, Hong Zhao, known as the Hong family's reading seed and hope for the future, was too young or unstable, walking up and down the cell impatiently, mumbling something in his mouth, A look of worry and fear.
Hearing this, Mrs. Hong didn't even raise her eyelids, and Hong Xi didn't even pay attention to her. Only Hong Zhao, he not only came over, but also asked her eagerly: "What's the matter with the kiln factory? It's not a day or two for King Ning to smuggle. You just said that our kiln factory just opened. In half a year, all the accounting transactions are clear and there is no fraud, is it true?"
Song Tao nodded repeatedly.
Hong Zhao usually studies in Suzhou, so he doesn't know anything about the family affairs.
She hopes that Hong Zhao can help them get rid of the charges.
In the previous life, nothing happened to the Hong family, and Hong Zhao was still studying in Suzhou at this time. When he passed the examination in June next year, he passed the examination as a scholar. Mr. Hong was so happy that he set up a banquet for seven days. In September, he won the honor in the Toad Palace again, and was admitted to Juren. With the help of his mentor, he married the eldest daughter of the prefect of Huzhou as his wife, and went to the Imperial College to study.
It is said that the reason why he had such an encounter was related to his mentor who went to teach at Heshan Academy after he became an official in Dali Temple.
At the critical moment of life and death, he will definitely ask his mentor for help.
Song Tao told him about the kiln in detail.
It's just that she was just getting started when she was interrupted by Old Master Hong: "Azhao, come here. Grandfather has something to tell you."
Song Tao raised her eyes.
Grandpa Hong opened his eyes at some point, and was squinting at them.
Song Tao's heart skipped a beat.
Hong Zhao had knelt and sat down in front of Mrs. Hong obediently, and the grandpa and grandson started whispering.
Song Tao was very anxious, and wanted to hear clearly what Old Master Hong had said to Hong Zhao.
When disaster is imminent, even husband and wife will fly separately. What's more, she and the Hong family are just a temporary business partner based on what they need? The Hong family may not give her a hand. But if the Hong family doesn't care about her, she has already fallen out with her family, who else will care about her?
She couldn't stop trembling, and shouted: "Young Master Hong!"
Hong Xi seemed to have just seen her at this moment, and his eyes fell on her casually.
"Master Hong!" She couldn't help shivering.
In the previous life, after Hong Zhao was admitted to Juren, the Hong family became country gentlemen in Liang County who could keep pace with the Wen family. Mrs. Hong has been studying with Hong Zhao, and Hong Xi has been staying in Liang County to take care of the general affairs of the Hong family.
He is handsome and wealthy, representing the Hong family at grand and small grand ceremonies in Liang County. I don’t know how many women regard him as a wealthy son-in-law and think of ways to marry him. However, he likes Song Jiyun, and contributed money and efforts to help Song Jiyun deal with Song Sanliang. Not to mention, he and Song Jiyun also funded and built another kiln factory, specializing in firing all kinds of monochrome porcelain, and brought the business to the capital.
If Song Jiyun didn't marry, he would have been waiting for Song Jiyun. Old Master Hong objected to no avail.
She thought that even if he was not sympathetic, at least he was sentimental, but something happened again—he looked at her with cold and heartless eyes, as if he was looking at a dead thing.
But she had to save herself.
She cannot be left behind by the Hong family.
Even if Old Master Hong is not very willing to take her with him, she still has to find ways to get Hong Xi to take her with him.
"I have something to tell you." Song Tao gritted her teeth and stared straight into his eyes like Song Jiyun in her previous life, said coldly.
A look of surprise flashed in Hong Xi's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards her.
Song Tao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
Hong Xi really likes women like Song Jiyun.
She raised her eyebrows and stood up straight, imagining herself like a green pine on a cliff, unruffled in danger, but she didn't know that her trembling hands revealed her uneasiness.
"We have to find a way to get out." She whispered, "The only one who can save us is Eunuch Wan."
She knew about Eunuch Wan's background in the palace, and also knew about Eunuch Wan's secrets.
Hong Xi glanced at her suspiciously, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a frivolous and somewhat sarcastic attitude, "Miss Song San, have you never been out of Jingdezhen? You think Wan Xiaoquan is an **** who works in Jinyiwei." Can it be stopped?"
Song Tao had never seen such a bitter and mean Hong Xi.
She was taken aback.
Hong Xi looked at her with disdain and said: "You don't think that Wan Xiaoquan will **** you after you give Wan Xiaoquan a few taels of silver, do you? Instead of counting on him, you might as well think about how much money you still have in your hand. How will we deal with the Jinyiwei people!"
Of course Song Tao thought about it too. But she knew that since she was a woman, she showed her wealth, and it would be good not to be wronged by those Jin Yiwei as a scapegoat, and it was absolutely impossible to escape.
"I'm not joking with you." Song Tao tried her best to look at Hong Xi as coldly as possible, and said, "Eunuch Wan had a counterpart when he was in the palace, and after he left the palace, his counterpart was with another eunuch. , that **** is now the Nanjing garrison."
Hong Xi couldn't hide his surprise, and his eyes on Song Tao gradually became more serious.
Song Tao laughed.
That's how it should be.
In the previous life, it was Song Jiyun, and in this life it is her.
Hong Xi should be used by her.
"I know how to impress Eunuch Wan." She lowered her voice, "But I don't have any manpower. If you are willing to advance and retreat with me, I am willing to tell you the method."
Hong Xi didn't say a word for a long while after hearing this, he sneered abruptly, and said, "Is that how you trust me? Are you not afraid that I will sell you?"
Song Tao imitated Song Jiyun who was in power in his previous life, straightened his sleeves lightly, and said calmly: "Since I have a way to ask you for help, I naturally have a way to let you take me away."
In fact, she was at a loss.
But if she hadn't been so bluffing, Hong Xi would definitely not care about her life or death.
