Because of Lai's false accusation, Jia Pardon Jia Zheng and Jia Jing were present together, and Jia Yuyi solemnly asked Fang Zhongzheng to investigate the matter and return his innocence.

Fang Zhongzheng nodded and said, "Lai Da, when did you sue your master for instructing you to put the money in print?" Lai Da saw that everyone in the Jia family had come, and his heart was itching with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "It's less than two years. Fang Zhongzheng asked again: "Then where is this IOU now?" Lai Da replied: "In the secret compartment of my study, it's just that now my Lai family has been raided by Master Jia, I think these IOUs have been destroyed." ”

Fang Zhongzheng turned his head to look at Jia Yu after hearing this, "General Jia has something to say?"

Jia Yu said with a stern face: "There is no such thing." But I have a few words I want to ask this Lai Da in court, I don't know if Lord Fang can?" Seeing Fang Zhongzheng nodding, Jia Yu paced a few steps to the kneeling Lai Da: "You said that I put the Yinzi money, so how much profit does the Yinzi money release in January?"

"About eighteen hundred taels. ”

"One thousand eight hundred taels, heh, I didn't expect my housekeeper to really make money. It seems that it is too condescending to let you only let me be the housekeeper of Rongguofu. Jia Yu sneered, and said sharply: "But Steward Lai, you also underestimate me Jia Yu." Jia Yu took off the fan bag he was carrying, and spread the fan with his hand, "This fan should have been bought by you with me, do you remember how much it spent?"

Lai Da raised his eyes and saw that this fan was indeed entered by himself when he accompanied Jia Yu to Wenhui Pavilion, and it cost five hundred taels of silver. Lai Da didn't understand why Jia Yu would ask something irrelevant about him, so he raised his head and opened his mouth but didn't reply.

"Lai Da Butler is busy every day for profit, so naturally this housekeeper has no time to take care of his business. I sue you, I still remember it was five hundred taels. Ye rose in January, and it is common to buy such five and eight handfuls. Your mere 1,800 taels of silver is a lot of money, but it's not worth letting your grandfather be fooled by this little profit. Jia Yu closed the fan and said: "My ancestors of Rongguo Mansion followed the birth and death of the emperor to earn today's situation for their descendants. Besides, as a first-class general, I have my own fortune and ancestral property, so I have nothing to do to do such a thing that damages yin and morality?

Seeing that Jia Yuyi was righteous and stern, and sarcastically said that he had lost his yin virtue, and this time he suffered retribution again, so he was so angry that he hurriedly quibbled: "This matter was instructed by the master to do it, and the little one remembered that the master wanted to enter an ancient fan because the money was not handed, so he moved this idea. ”

Jia Yu saw that Lai was talking nonsense, so he said again: "You said that I did this, then let me ask you whose name is on the IOU?"

Seeing Jia Yu asking like this, it was in Lai's arms, and Lai Da hurriedly said: "It was a private seal given by the master to Xiao Xiao for this matter." Jia Yu smiled when he heard this, took out an object from his wallet, and approached Lai Da's eyes and asked, "But this private seal?" Lai Da saw it and hurriedly responded: "This is it, this is it." As soon as Jia Yu put his hand away, he slapped Lai Da Da with his backhand, and said angrily: "I'll just say why my private seal is missing, but it was copied out at your house this time." I wonder if you stole it and used it for such a dirty thing. After Jia Yu finished speaking, he handed the private seal to Fang Zhongzheng and said: "This chapter is my idle chapter, originally printed on my collection of ancient fans, I still wonder that this chapter will be missing from time to time for a few days, elusive, but if I buy a new fan will inevitably appear, I also mentioned this matter with the shopkeeper of the antique shop in the capital, and laughed that this chapter has spirituality only when I see a good fan before appearing, and the shopkeepers of the antique shops in the capital can testify to me." Originally, I didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that this thief and slave have already calculated that I have already gone away. Today, I also ask Master Fang to comment on it, you said that if I ordered someone to lend money and used my private seal, why should this IOU be handed over to the housekeeper for collection. It doesn't make sense either. In doing so, am I not giving my own handle to someone else? Is it really a fool if you don't understand the law!"

When Lai Da heard this, he was stunned and covered his swollen face that was slapped by Jia Yu and said: "How dare I capture the master as a subordinate." The IOU is received from us only for the convenience of urging. ”

Jia Yu pointed at Lai and scolded: "Sure enough, you are so skillful, you didn't capture the master, you dare to sue your master." It's also great to be a slave and make you like this. ”

Fang Zhongzheng listened to the confrontation between the master and servant on the sidelines, and saw that Jia Yu did not hide everything this time, knowing that most of his words were true, because Yin Ziqian was punished very heavily in this dynasty, even if he released it, he must take care of the credentials, otherwise once it falls into the hands of others, it will not be and let people handle it. Seeing that the two of them were getting farther away from the topic, Fang Zhongzheng asked: "There is no such credential, the borrower should still be there." Do you remember a few, pull me and ask!"

Hearing Fang Zhongzheng say this, Lai Daxin was happy to report a few bitter masters that he remembered. Fang Zhongzheng ordered people to bring these bitter masters. These bitter masters went to the court, and when they saw that Lai Da didn't have time to reply, they were all busy thanking Lai Da first, thanking him for exempting him from the principal interest of his Yinzi money. Lai Da didn't know at first, when he exempted these people from the principal and interest, but after a little thought, he came back to his senses, it must have been Na Jia Yu who forgave the money one step ahead, and he didn't even ask for the principal, and took back the IOU and destroyed it.

Fang Zhongzheng looked at Lai Daodao again: "What else do you have to say this time?"

Lai Daqiang argued: "It must be the master who strikes first and exempts them from their debts." ”

Jia Yu smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to see what charges you can charge this master with this!" After speaking, he took out a pile of paper from his cuff and threw it on Lai Da's face, "This is all personally confessed by your subordinates, I tied you up and sent you to Lord Fang for trial that day, and when I returned to the house, I only announced that you had committed a crime and were imprisoned by the government, and your mother thought that you had embezzled my private printing and printing money by someone who had been discovered, so she hurriedly took back and destroyed those IOUs, and even confiscated the capital because she was in a hurry, which were all confessed by your subordinates." Lai sat down on the ground holding the testimony.

Jia Yu saw that Lai Da was no longer silent, and said: "You think you are doing smart, and you want to instigate my brother's subordinates to pull my brother into the water." You're not stupid, if my brother doesn't notice it for a while, won't he be under your control forever?" Jia Yu turned his head and said to Fang Zhongzheng: "I also tied up those two subordinates, and I can do circumstantial evidence for this Lai Da to release money privately. ”

Fang Zhongzheng ordered someone to bring Zhou Rui and his family up, and when they asked, they all said that Lai Da taught him that the way to make money was to move his old man and wife to put money in print, but his wife had complicated affairs these days, and she didn't have time to listen to herself talk about this matter in detail. Zhou Rui and his family are not stupid, but this time they saw that Lai everyone was so fielded, and they pushed everything on Lai Da.

This time, the human and material evidence gathered, and there is no need to rely on the big to quibble. He had him sign the record. After receiving the painting, Fang Zhongzheng said: "Lai Da, you first forcibly bought good people to force people to death, and then robbed people and good land, and then stole the main seal letter and put the money privately, and all the piles are big crimes. Condemn your sin to death this day. Besides, if you dare to bribe the court officials in public, you will be punished with a cane first, and if the official beats you first, it may delay the trial, and the facts of this case have been cleared. Someone called me. A group of officials stepped forward to drag Lai Da down and hold him down, and he picked up the board solidly. Jia Yu listened to Lai Da's screams, and then felt that he was angry.

Seeing what happened, Jia pardoned everyone and wanted to say goodbye and return home, but Fang Zhongzheng said again: "General Jia, stay here, the lower officials still have something to talk about." ”
