The accountant in Duobao Building who was settling accounts said: "..."
The waiter introducing products to customers: "..."
Seeing the government arresting people, the common people didn't have the energy to go shopping. They followed the yamen servants one by one and walked towards the county yamen.
It’s been years since I’ve seen the government arrest someone. Today, a big boss is being arrested. Can the people not be excited or overwhelmed with emotion?
A large number of people on the street followed behind. Cen Baofang, who was personally escorted by the government officials, saw the crowd of people watching the fun behind him and wished he could die suddenly on the spot.
There are people watching the excitement on the street, and there are also many people watching the excitement upstairs.
Pei Heng is one of them.
Fusong was worthy of being a gold-medal subordinate, and he found out the matter in a short time.
"The young lady of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion reported two pawnshops to the county government, saying that the things they pawned in their shops were her dowry. Then she tortured and interrogated the pawnshop owners, found the bank, and based on the ticket number, she also took the money from Duobaolou. The boss was caught."
"I'm in Zhuangzi, but I've reached out to Yancheng. This woman's hands are really long." Pei Heng smiled, and his purple clothes made him look handsome. If you notice carefully, when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are raised. There is a trace of aura in the pear vortex, which adds a third degree of cynicism and dissoluteness to him.
Fusong said nothing.
Cynicism is the master's protective color.
The dissoluteness belongs to the master...
Pooh.
The master is not a dissolute person.
"My hands are long, and my brain is finally a little longer." Pei Heng knocked on the railing, his slender fingers like cold jade, "If I check the back, the coward will not dare to check."
Fusong nodded, "It concerns the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. Wang Xingmin is not that bold. He is ambitious."
No, if Mrs. Chengyang Hou steals something, you, a little seventh-grade sesame officer, dare to sentence Mrs. Chengyang Hou?
Pei Heng: "It's a good thing to be ambitious, so that you can use it for me. Anyway, I asked that woman for something, so I did her a favor and muddied the waters."
Xu Wanning, who was thirty miles away on Zhuangzi, said: "...This thing is inappropriate to put here."
Qingxing held a bottle of unknown wild flowers and put it somewhere else: "What about here?"
Xu Wanning sat up straight and looked carefully again.
The porcelain white vase is now placed on a tall square stand in front of the window. The window is wide open, and the spring scenery outside is boundless.
In contrast to the simplicity and gloominess of the house, the newly arrived wild flowers add a touch of spring to the house.
Xu Wanning nodded with satisfaction, "It's just right here. You guys can help lift it and move it over. I'm tired from reading and can enjoy the flowers."
Qingxing chuckled, "Do you plan to stay here forever, Miss?"
Xu Wanning smiled slyly, "If this Zhuangzi is mine, it's not impossible."
Soon, this Zhuangzi will soon be hers.
The Marquis Mansion of Chengyang is the underworld and purgatory, while Zhuangzi is the paradise on earth.
Cen Baofang felt that he was in purgatory on earth.
He was pulled around and shouted at like a monkey. His brand-new clothes had long been torn and dirty. His hair was disheveled. When he was pulled to the lobby of the county government, everyone was confused.
My knees hurt and I knelt down.
The crowded county government office was crowded with people, and everyone stretched their necks to look inside.
Someone yelled from behind, "Move out of the way, get out of the way, we're going to catch another one."
With a "plop", another person knelt down next to Cen Baofang.
Cen Baofang finally came to his senses and looked at the person next to him, "Boss Zhao?"
Zhao Gang was also confused. Hearing a familiar voice, he turned his head and looked: "Boss Cen?"
"What's going on?" The two asked each other in unison, but before they could answer, the sound of the killing stick scared the two of them and quickly lowered their heads.
"Where did you two get your banknotes from? Tell the truth. If you tell any lies, Daxing will take care of you!" Wang Xingmin was very excited.
One is that it concerns the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, Yancheng's second son, if it is done well, it is equivalent to currying favor with the Chengyang Marquis Mansion.
Second, the case is too big.
The thief sold the thing for 70,000 taels.
Seventy thousand taels, what is the concept of seventy thousand taels!
There is a law in Dai Viet that stipulates that if you steal five thousand taels, you will be exiled; if you steal 10,000 taels, you will be beheaded.
Seventy thousand taels means seven brains are broken.
Wang Xingmin has had no political achievements in the five years he has been in Yancheng. Now that the opportunity has come, he must perform well and add a highlight to his political achievements!
Cen Baofang and Zhao Gang all looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the problem.
Banknote?
The banknote was given by the Hou Mansion!
But in this public place, can you mention it?
The two of them remained silent. Wang Xingmin slapped the gavel tree and said, "Hit it with thirty big sticks."
disobedient?
Don’t talk about it until it hurts. Eight generations of your ancestors will explain it to you.
Zhao Gang didn't dare to disobey.
"Sir, let me tell you. The silver note was given by the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. It was the money they spent to buy supplements at my Yonghe Building last quarter."
Cen Baofang also knew that he couldn't keep it, so he could only say obediently: "Mine was also given by the Chengyang Marquis Mansion. They spent almost 30,000 taels in my store last quarter."
"hiss……"
There was a gasp in the lobby.
Wang Xingmin: "..." He couldn't stop screaming, he was a little confused.
He was preoccupied with achieving political achievements. He wanted to solve the case and seek merit. He wanted to show the people of Yancheng that he, the third oldest person in Yancheng, was also a responsible parent official who could do practical things for the people.
But how could this theft case be related to the Marquis of Chengyang?
Wang Xingmin raised his head and looked at the dense crowd of heads outside the county government office.
For the first time, I felt that these people were an eyesore.
"This case is complicated, and there are still many doubts. Let's retry it another day!" Everyone in the lobby cheered, and the people watching outside were not stupid.
"Are there any doubts about this case? Shouldn't we call the people from the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion over and ask how the pawned silver came to be in the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion?"
"You are not stupid, and neither is the person sitting above you. If you continue to interrogate it, won't you offend the Chengyang Marquis Mansion? Even fools know that the people in the mansion stole it themselves."
"People in the mansion stole the young lady's dowry?"
"..."
Everyone is smart and knows who is right and who is wrong, but they are not judges.
"Wang Xingmin really doesn't dare to continue the trial." On the street opposite the county government office, stood a tall man in purple clothes and a hat. He was not Pei Heng.
"He doesn't dare to offend the Marquis of Chengyang." Fusong also said.
"That's because the Marquis of Chengyang can give him benefits. If I give him more than what the Marquis Mansion gives him, guess who he will offend?"
Fusong continued smoothly, "Of course it won't be the governor."
Pei Heng put his hands behind his back and looked at the gate of the county government office, which had turned from bustling to calm. He already had a plan in mind.
After listening to the confessions of Cen Baofang and Zhao Gangquan, Wang Xingmin almost collapsed to the ground.
It's over.
Most likely, the young lady's things were pawned by the young lady and exchanged for money to pay back to Yonghe Building and Duobao Building.
But why did the madam want to steal and sell off the young madam’s dowry?
It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door to outrageous things. It’s so outrageous.
That's true!
