Chapter 37

Not to mention that the people in the Jia Mansion discussed countermeasures for the matter of printing money, just said that Lai Da was tied up by Jia Yu and directly handed over to Yin Fangzhong of the Beijing Mansion, and Lord Fang wanted to try the case quickly, but although the bitter master sued Lai Da, he was too sad to learn that his daughter had died, and fell ill in bed. Fang Zhongzheng sent someone to spread the word, only to know that this bitter master could not enter the court, so in desperation, Lord Fang had no choice but to temporarily detain Lai Da and start investigating some evidence first.

This Lai Da entered the cell, and after waiting for two days, no one was arraigned, and his heart was even more anxious. On the one hand, he scolded the little girl who committed suicide by throwing herself into the well a hundred times, and cursed the teeth of the person who recommended him ten thousand times. After thinking about it, I remembered that this time it was Jia Yu who tied him up and sent him to the Yin of the capital mansion, and I felt resentful of Jia Mansion again. But whether he is angry or cursing, he is now pressed in this prison and cannot come out.

Because he was detained for two days and no one from his family came to visit, Lai Da felt even more inappropriate. I wanted to know the situation outside, so I wanted to ask someone to inquire about it. Because he was caught unsuccessfully bribing in Fang Zhongzheng's study, Lai Da did not dare to act rashly this time. First, he complained about the poor food in this cell, and secretly stuffed some loose silver taels to the guard, asking him to buy some good food. The guard took the money and brought in some good food. After going back and forth, Lai Da saw that the guard was greedy and felt that it was easy to start, and it seemed that the guard also wanted to scrape more money from Lai Da, and the two hit it off.

Lai Da took advantage of the unpreparedness of others, quietly took off a piece of jade pendant on his body and handed it to the guard: "You can help me go to the Rongguo Mansion Lai Family's house to help me spread a message, tell my mother, and let her find a way to rescue me." This jade is a certificate, as long as the word is brought to you, you can ask them for fifty taels of silver. ”

The guard took the jade, checked it in his hand, and said with a smile: "It is only worth fifty taels of silver to bring a message to the dignified Rongguo Mansion Lai Da Butler, hehe, it is not enough for a pot of tea." Lai Da secretly scolded the guard in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "This time I have worked hard for the official, and when I get out of this place, I will be grateful." ”

"Where does the big housekeeper Lai, one day you come out of this place, how can I and other little officials afford to climb high. You are the great butler of Rongguo Mansion. There are still seven officials in front of the prime minister's door, do you say?" The guard put the jade into his arms, and stretched out his hand to Lai Dayi, "You naturally know, the threshold of your mansion is quite high, I am afraid that I will go out directly without giving the door a salute." ”

Seeing this, Lai Da was helpless, so he had to take out some silver and hand it to the guard: "Don't make fun of Lai anymore, if you can go back alive this time, you will go to the temple to burn high incense." This time I am really shy in my hands, and I will thank you when I go out. Seeing that the guard walked away, Lai Da turned around and spat on the ground, and scolded in a low voice: "The dog that took advantage of the fire to rob things!"

Let's say that the guard didn't go straight to Lai's house because of Lai's big money and goods, but went straight to this Fang Zhongzheng study, and when he saw his own adult, he said: "This Lai Da really took the bait, let me go to his house this time, and ask me to pass the word to his mother, so that he can rescue him." After speaking, he took out the piece of jade in his arms, "This is a certificate, saying that I have passed the word, and I can ask for fifty taels of silver for this." ”

Fang Zhongzheng nodded, this is indeed generous. But this time, if he wants to leave here with all the shadows, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. According to the laws of this dynasty, those who bribe officials must first be punished with forty rods, and then exiled according to the number of bribes. Fang Zhongzheng ordered the guards to follow Lai Da's entrustment to see what kind of rescuers Lai Da could bring out. Because of the past few days of searching for evidence, it is known that the Lai brothers have done a lot of evil things with the help of Ning Rong's second mansion, and all of them have made Fang Zhongzheng angry, and he can't wait to take down these evil people together.

Here, Lord Fang is investigating the case in an orderly manner, and Jia Jing and Jia are busy looking for someone to settle the accounts. This Jia Yu saw that some of his families were really poor, in addition to exempting the money from the Yinzi loan, he also sent a few taels of silver, and those bitter masters were naturally grateful, and even remembered the kindness of the Lai family. Although this made Jia Yu dislike, he didn't care about it when he thought about it and did more to rely on the family's money.

Jia Zheng was not idle after he went back, because he understood that this matter was important, so he called Mrs. Wang to discuss it together. Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this: "A few months ago, this week, the Rui family also mentioned the matter of Yinzi money, saying that it was safe and profitable. When Jia Zheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "You actually responded?" Mrs. Wang shook her head again and again: "No, the master forgot that day I was packing up and preparing to move before I finished the matter, and I copied the scriptures for the old lady and prayed for blessings, how could I have the time to think about it." When I heard it today, I realized that it was powerful, but I was really lucky. When Jia Zheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, this Jia Jing and Jia Yu were still impersonated to do this, and it was so troublesome for this matter. If you do it yourself, I really don't know how to clean it up. Busy people escorted Zhou Rui and his family to ask what happened.

One day they invited Lai Da to drink, Lai Da was drunk and told him that this is a good way to make money, and he heard Lai Da say that the big man in this house and the old man of Ningguo Mansion also do this, Zhou Rui felt that it should be fine, but there was no capital in his hand, Zhou Rui asked his daughter-in-law to move Mrs. Wang, Zhou Rui's family mentioned it twice, but every time it was not a coincidence, Mrs. Wang had no time to take care of it, and Zhou Rui and his family had to sigh that they had no luck. It wasn't until something happened to Lai's family that the two of them were afraid. This time, my own master came to ask, and naturally quickly explained it clearly. Jia Zheng was even more angry when he heard this, and checked all the people in charge around him overnight, and tied up all the people who had money in the family that could not be said to come from, and sent the two of them to Jia Yu this week, which can be regarded as circumstantial evidence for Lai Daruo to falsely accuse Jia Yu in the future.

When Jia Jing and Jia pardoned the IOU of Yinzi money were taken back and destroyed, it was leaked and Lai Da in prison knew about his own situation. Lai Da waited for a few days and couldn't believe it, today when he heard that his family was copied, his brother now doesn't know where, the old mother and son were kicked out of the house, and the next person was sold with his own equipment, and his years of hard work were ruined, and he actually fainted with a mouthful of blood. When he sobered up, he howled loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I want to sue Ning Rong and the two mansions for no national law, and order my housekeeper to issue money for him and make a windfall." I'm going to sue, I'm going to sue. ”

Fang Zhongzheng has checked the evidence of all parties this time, and the bitter master has also calmed down because he knows that Lai Da has been imprisoned, and he has also gotten up in the past few days, and Fang Zhongzheng wants to close the case. At the first trial, Lai Dagu did not admit guilt, but instead bit out the matter of Jiafu releasing Yinzi money.
