The midday sun was already a bit fierce, making Zhou Jin's face turn red, which made Su Shi feel surprised.
Seeing something strange in Su Shi's eyes, Zhou Jin hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the study. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to him and said, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Su Shi hurriedly followed him, and they walked into the study side by side.
After the two sat down in the study, Zhou Jin's expression became solemn, her eyes were full of worry, and the corner of her handkerchief had been rolled up like a hemp rope by her.
"what are you worried about?"
"Qianqiu Zhiku?"
"Any problem?"
Zhou Jin nodded lightly.
"What's the problem with Qianqiu Qiku?"
Zhou Jin finally sighed: "The problem is not with Qianqiu Zhiku, but with Liyuesi."
Without waiting for Su Shi to ask questions, Zhou Jin continued: "Liyue Division is subordinate to the Hu Bu, and the Hu Bu is attached to the eldest brother."
"The reason why the bank is willing to lend money to others is because these people will use land deeds, house deeds and other deeds as collateral, and the authenticity of the deeds will be authenticated by the contracting department."
Su Shi said slowly: "Are you worried that Li Yuosi will tamper with the contract?"
"I'm not worried about Riyosi doing anything. In order to defeat Qianqiu Zhiku, they will definitely do something."
Su Shi asked silently: "What tricks will they do?"
Zhou Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Stamped the seal of the Regius on a fictitious contract, and then used this fictitious contract to pledge the money to the treasury."
"Aren't these people afraid of inspection if they use fake contracts to borrow money?"
"Since Mr. Rio dares to stamp this fake contract, he will not be afraid of inspection. Suppose there is a piece of land that originally belonged to the borrower, but he has mortgaged the land to Dongyuan Quality Bank."
"At this time, Riyosi forged a fake land deed and asked him to borrow money from Qianqiu Zhiku again. On the day of repayment, the man suddenly disappeared. If a lawsuit was filed at this time, Qianqiu Zhiku would have It’s a fake contract. Not only can’t we get the money back, but we can’t even get a cent of the property.”
Su Shi asked again: "Since both contracts are stamped with the official seal of the Liyue Division, why is it determined that the contract in Qianqiu Zhiku's hands is fake?"
"Because although both contracts have official seals, they are only 99% identical. There is always a slight difference between the official seals on the two contracts, and it is this slight difference that will cause Qianqiu Zhiku to lose the lawsuit."
"Since there is a gap, can't the Chao Fenghui see it?"
"The differences are so subtle, such as the size of the characters, the length and thickness of the strokes, etc. It is difficult to judge the authenticity with the naked eye."
Su Shi was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Privately engraving an official seal is a capital crime. People in Liyuesi are really not afraid of death?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "With the protection of the Great Emperor, how can these people be afraid? What's more, the person who borrowed the money from Brother He has disappeared long ago. Of course, who carved and stamped the official seal on the fake contract cannot be traced." "
Su Shi looked at her and asked, "Since you know these tricks of Dongyuan Zhiku, they must have used them before."
"They used this method to defeat Guangyuan Qiku, the predecessor of Jianzhiku. They lost a total of more than 700,000 taels of principal."
Hearing this, Su Shi shook his head and sighed: "This is the harm of the integration of government and business. For the best interests, those court officials will definitely abuse their power and exclude dissidents."
This was not the time to listen to Su Shi's emotion. Zhou Jin asked, "Do you have any solution?"
Su Shi said: "The best solution is to take Rios into your own hands."
Zhou Jin sighed softly: "I have mentioned this matter to my father, but the Liyue Department belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and officials are also appointed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the officials of the Liyue Department make no mistakes, my father will be beyond his reach."
When Su Shi heard this, his eyes lit up and he said slowly: "Then if something goes wrong in Riojo, can His Majesty take action to clear the place?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "It's not easy to catch the mistakes of those officials in Rio de Janeiro."
"Why?"
Zhou Jin said: "I said that even the most experienced court officials could not distinguish the official seals on those fake contracts, so when borrowing money, it was impossible to tell who took the fake contract to borrow money. And when the borrower escapes, then Time has passed and we can no longer find any evidence related to Rioux, so how can we catch the mistakes of those officials."
Su Shi nodded and said with a smile, "That makes sense."
Seeing that Su Shi was still laughing at this moment, Zhou Jin became furious.
"You are still in the mood to laugh. If this hidden danger cannot be solved, Qianqiu Zhiku may not be able to survive for long, and in the end, even selling the General's Mansion may not be able to make up for such a big hole."
Seeing Zhou Jin's anxious and angry look, Su Shi had to put away his smile and asked seriously: "If Dongyuan Zhiku wants to take action, when will it be chosen?"
"They must have waited too long."
Su Shi seemed to be relieved and said, "That's good."
Zhou Jin looked at Su Shi with confusion: "It seems like you really want them to take action?"
"I don't have a lot of patience."
"But as soon as they take action, we will definitely suffer huge losses, and the reputation of Qianqiu Qiku will be completely lost. Not only will no one dare to deposit money in, but even those who deposit will definitely find ways to take it away."
Su Shi nodded and said casually: "This is indeed a big problem."
Seeing Su Shi's relaxed look, Zhou Jin couldn't help but look at him with strange eyes: "Do you already have a countermeasure?"
Su Shi was about to speak when Lu Tian suddenly hurried to the door, bowed to Zhou Jin and Su Shi, and said, "I have met the master and Mr. Su."
Seeing his panic, Zhou Jin asked in a deep voice, "Master Lu, has something happened?"
Lu Tian hurriedly replied: "Someone is pawning the property in Pinghefang and wants to borrow fifteen thousand taels. The master once said that pawning more than one thousand taels must be reported, so I had no choice but to come and disturb the master."
"Are the contract procedures complete? Can the identity be verified? Can the authenticity of the contract be determined?"
This series of questions made Lu Tian hesitant and did not dare to answer easily.
He hesitated for a long time before slowly replying: "The person who pawned the pawn is called Qiao Ming. He is a businessman. Because the funds could not be turned over for a while, he pawned the house in Pinghefang to borrow money. After appraisal, the value of his property in Pinghefang More than thirty thousand taels.”
"Can you confirm the authenticity of the property deed?"
Lu Tian also knew that the matter was very important, so he said cautiously: "Chang Sheng and I have checked it again and again, and there should be no problem."
Zhou Jin was a little dissatisfied with this answer, so her tone became much colder. She looked directly at Lu Tian and said, "There should be no problem? Are you sure there is no problem?"
Lu Tian murmured at the door for a long time, but in the end he could not give a definite answer.
At this time, Su Shi smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, since the procedures provided are complete, let's let it go."
