Chapter 126: Eight Hundred Cases Closed
According to the law of this dynasty, stealing more than 1,000 taels is punishable by beheading!
"Yuxiu's little cheap hoof, she's talking nonsense again! One thousand taels, she has it when she opens her mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yan Jincheng closed the door and scolded.
"Xianggong, now is not the time to talk about this. If Dad confessed that you were with him, wouldn't you also be locked up?" What Gu was most afraid of was that Yan Qinghong pushed Yan Jincheng out in order to get rid of his responsibility.
"No, my dad won't. Yan Jincheng still has confidence in his father, "However, we still have to let them release them quickly." Why don't we redeem those things and send them back?"
When Gu heard Yan Jincheng say that Yan Qinghong would not confess to him, he was relieved, and when he heard this, he shook his head, "It's useless to send it back, if that little cheap hoof bites something more than a thousand taels, won't we be deceived by her?"
"Then what should I do? Her house is just that little bit of, and she said that a thousand is a thousand? Who believes anything that has no basis?"
Why don't you push that thin man out? No, the thin man knows his husband and wife, and when the time comes, he will say that he was instructed by the two of them, and then he will not be able to escape.
But his father can't be convicted, if he is convicted, then he will be a sinner, his family background is not innocent, and he will even lose his fame and fame.
If Yan Qinghong dies in prison, then according to the laws of the imperial court, he will have to miss the autumn season for three years.
The most terrible thing is that Yan Qinghong is in prison, if he dares to ignore it, a name of unfilial piety, his life will be over.
Thinking about it, he was so anxious that he walked around the room,
In the end, Gu's father has been an official, and he is much more shrewd than Yan Jincheng, "Xianggong, I think this matter, that is, spend some money to make it up and down, why don't you go to the county government to find someone?"
"How do I know anyone from the county government!" Yan Jincheng said angrily.
"Xianggong, don't you have a classmate, is he the son of the county Cheng family? and you are still friends? Why don't you ask him?" Gu Shi didn't panic, and immediately remembered that they had someone in the county office.
Yan Jinpeng slapped his forehead, "Yes, yes, I'll go to Brother Tian!"
He ran to Tian Yue's residence in Yunchang Town, and the janitor said that his son-in-law had returned to Jianchang County for the holiday.
Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, three days off in the academy.
He patted himself on the head, and it was a real forgetfulness.
Early the next morning, he guarded the door of the Tian house again, and when it was almost noon, he saw a carriage swaying in, he couldn't wait for the carriage to stop, so he shouted "Brother Tian, Brother Tian" in the car, Tian Yue lazily probed, and saw Yan Jincheng.
He is a little younger than Yan Jincheng, and he usually calls his own name?
Yan Jincheng followed into the house, and as soon as his butt touched the chair, he couldn't help but ask for help first, "Brother Tian, there is something, I have to ask you for help to say something." ”
"What's the matter? If I can help, I'll help. ”
Yan Jincheng had already thought of his rhetoric, and immediately said, "That...... Hey, I'm ashamed, it's really ugly. My cousin passed away, and I entrusted my four children to my family. ”
"My mom and dad have always taken good care of them. However, the four children did not obey discipline. Yesterday, there was a fire in their house and the house burned down. My cousin was a little confused and insisted that the house was stolen...... Catch the fast door and insist that my father is suspicious, and now I can't tell ......"
He said vaguely, but Tian Yue understood, "When I came back today, I heard about a case in Dongping Village, saying that the family was robbed, and the things worth thousands of taels at home were gone. Brother Jincheng, what you said, is this what you said?"
"Yes, yes, it's all kids' nonsense, where is there so much possessions. ”
"I heard that these things were all rewarded by the Jingwang Mansion in the Fucheng City?"
"I heard them say that it was rewarded by the princess, but Brother Tian also knew that the four of them were country children, how could the princess reward so much, at most it would be three or five taels of silver......
"This case is not difficult to investigate, I heard my father say that everything rewarded by the palace has the mark of the palace, and you will know it when you check it out. ”
Yan Jincheng didn't expect that the things rewarded by the palace would still be marked, and as soon as he said it, there was a cold sweat on his forehead, "This is a trivial matter, the child reported to the official indiscriminately, can Brother Tian talk to Ling Zun about it......"
"Brother Jincheng, if I can do something for you, our brother will naturally have nothing to say. But this matter, my father still has the county magistrate, this matter is a bit difficult to do. When Tian Yue saw Yan Jincheng like this, how could he not guess that this matter had something to do with him.
Yan Jincheng said that those things are not valuable, who believes them?
The reward of the Jingwang Mansion, the princess can give less than 1,000 taels of silver, which may still be said to be less.
"When I came back, I heard from my father that the county magistrate had heard that this matter was still related to the palace, and he had already sent someone to the palace. It's not easy to stop this back......"
Tian Yue stood up as she said and patted Yan Jincheng on the shoulder, "Brother Jincheng, don't worry, even if Sister Ling is lying, in the end, she is a child, and she can't be caught if she wants to eat and hang." I also promised Jin Yunu of Baihualou that I would support her at night, so I left first. I won't keep you. ”
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, this matter, I hope Brother Tian will help. ”
"Brother Jincheng, it's not that I don't help, this is a big case. To tell you the truth, when I went back this time, my father said that I didn't do my job properly and refused to even give me some pocket money. This is an errand, you know, the county government is not my family's subordinates......"
Yan Jincheng gritted his teeth and took twenty taels of silver. It will definitely cost money to find Tian Yue to do things, and he still has a number of things to do, so he has already brought silver with him.
Tian Yue glanced at the twenty taels of silver, took more than a thousand taels of things, and took twenty taels to send himself?
"Brother Jincheng, these twenty taels, if I give them to the town's catchers, it will be just right for four people. If this is brought to the county-" Tian Yue glanced at it disdainfully.
Yan Jincheng has also seen people ask Tian Yue to do things in the past, isn't it all a matter of one or twenty taels of silver?
"Brother Jincheng, this matter involves King Jing's Mansion. With us, King Jingfu, you won't know it, right?"
"Don't talk about stealing, let me tell you, last year, there was a scholar who went to Fucheng to take the exam, and he spat in front of the incense burner donated by Princess Liu, do you know what happened to that person in the end?"
"If you have a meritorious reputation, will the palace still dare to fight?" Yan Jincheng asked a little nervously.
"Hit? That's still light. I'll tell you, that poor man, was known by the second son of the palace, pressed in front of the temple, and knocked out a tooth. The second son of the family said that the things that come out of the palace, even if they are a thread, are not disrespectful. ”
"Anything that touches the palace is a big deal. Like your cousin, if it is really something that is rewarded by the palace, it is burned and stolen, this is also disrespectful to the palace. I'll take this money and ask you about it first. ”
"Our brothers, the Ming people don't say secret words, this has to be found out, and it is a crime of killing the head in the law. If the palace is to blame, it is possible for the whole family to suffer!"
Tian Yue said, took his twenty taels of silver, and asked the little servant to send him out politely.
"Brother Tian, how much silver will you get if you want to close the case?" Yan Jincheng gritted his teeth and decided to let Tian Yue ask for a price.
"Eight hundred taels!" Tian Yue stretched out his thumb and index finger and made a gesture of eight.
When Yan Jincheng heard eight hundred taels, he felt that his feet were soft, and he walked out of the door and walked home, turning into an alley, and felt that it was dark in front of him.
