Chapter 239: Punishment
Now, the Zhongyi Bofu has been demoted, if the title is restored, the Hou Ye has to help, being a father-in-law is so reasonable, he has something to ask for, doesn't the Hou Ye, who is a son-in-law, want to help?
I had diarrhea for a few days, and I was fainted, and I could still think of such a prevarication reason, Qingyun admired it very much.
However, no one shook out the fake silver ticket.
The third young master of Chu, who was ordered to check the fake silver tickets, was in trouble, and he had no clue.
He went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, went to the Xingguo Mansion, and then went to the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion to inquire, and the three of them gave the same answer, all of them were careless, and they received fake silver tickets, and the shop lost a lot of reads();.
Chu Li was a little bitter and bitter, and when the emperor explained his errand, he said that if he couldn't do it well, he would also go to the military camp in the north of the city to sweep the stables.
He didn't want to go to Anjun Wang Yijun Wang and them as companions, especially the eldest young master of the Xingguo Mansion was also there, in case of another fight, he might be able to sweep the stables for half a year.
Chu Li dragged Chu Yan to find a way for him.
Chu Yan can't help it, if he can help, he would have helped, and the other young masters of Zhennan Hou Mansion are all helping Chu Li.
After all, it is the first time that the emperor has given him an errand, and it must be done well, and it must be done beautifully, not to mention that it will affect his future career, and even the marquis of Zhennan and the old men in the mansion will be accused of having no way to teach their children.
Chu Yan was helpless, no, he would go to trouble Chu Bei.
Speaking of this, Chu Bei also has an unshirkable responsibility, and it was he who connived at Qingyun that led to a series of events.
Chu Bei didn't directly say the source of the fake silver ticket, but only mentioned him, "I heard that as long as there is money in the black market, there is nothing that can't be bought, you might as well try it." ”
Chu Yan got through at one point, and then sent someone to the black market to inquire.
Then he found the person who made the fake silver ticket. Arrest and interrogation.
At first, the arrested person was still very hard-mouthed, and he didn't admit it to death, and finally hit dozens of boards, so he obediently made a move.
On this day, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.
Qingyun embroidered a wedding dress all morning. After lunch. Some of them were sleepy and were planning to take a break for half an hour.
Outside, the green fart ran in. said, "Girl, the third young master of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan has brought the waiter of the Criminal Department to the Hou Mansion. ”
The magpie listened, and the warbler exchanged glances.
The matter of fake silver tickets. Lu'er doesn't know, but she and Magpie do.
The third young master of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan was responsible for checking the fake silver tickets. When he came to the Hou Mansion, he must have found the Hou Mansion, but I don't know if it was Mrs. Cha or the girl?
The two looked at Qingyun with some concern.
Qingyun gave the two of them a reassuring look, the fake silver ticket was sent by Wei Chi. How could Chu Li find out about her, it was obviously the eldest lady.
Fang Cai Qingyun's eyelids were still sleepy, and she was already awake at this time. Even when he went to bed, he also stared at the gauze tent in a daze.
Qingyun smiled. "Go and see." ”
Qingyun took the maid to the front yard, and it was still far away from the second gate, so she saw Zhou Ziting coming over with the maid.
Seeing Qingyun, she smiled and said, "The third cousin also went to the front yard to watch the excitement?" ”
Qingyun nodded and said, "I ate a little bit at noon, so I walked by the way." ”
Zhou Ziting covered her mouth and smiled, "I also have some support for eating, let's go together." ”
As she spoke, the maid said, "Girl, the eldest lady is here." ”
Zhou Ziting turned around and saw the maid walking over with the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was dressed in a brocade with flowers, with a jade hairpin on her head, and her face was powdered.
These days, the eldest lady has endured enough hardships.
I had diarrhea for eight days, and it got better in the past two days.
Zhou Ziting was a little surprised, and said, "It's windy outside, and my aunt's body hasn't recovered yet, why did she come out?" ”
The eldest lady saw Zhou Ziting's face was fine, but when she saw Qingyun, her face was ugly.
Qingyun smiled harmlessly, and asked with a concerned face, "Is my mother well?" ”
The eldest lady's angry hands were tightened, if it weren't for Qingyun, would she have so many things?!
The eldest lady didn't say anything, and let the maid help her away.
If she stays any longer, she doesn't know what she's going to do.
Qingyun and Zhou Ziting followed behind and went to the main hall in the front yard together.
When I went up the steps, I saw Hou Ye sitting there.
Chu Li and the squire of the Criminal Department sat on top of him.
When the eldest lady entered the house, she asked softly, "What is the matter with Master Hou coming to me?" ”
After speaking, she saw a portrait on the table, which was painted by her maid Chun Tao.
The eldest lady's body was a little unstable, and when the Hou Ye saw it, his face became more and more ugly.
The waiter of the criminal department on the side smiled, there was no need to interrogate, looking at the face of Mrs. Andinghou, it was certain that she had bought a fake silver ticket.
Hou Ye slapped his hand on the table, pressed on the portrait of the maid and said, "The third young master of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan and Lord Zhao, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, were ordered to investigate the fake silver ticket, and the source of the fake silver ticket has been found, this portrait was painted by the person who made the fake silver ticket, it is your personal maid Chun Tao, the third young master of Chu also went to the Zhongyi Mansion to check, you once sent 30,000 taels of fake silver tickets to the Zhongyi Mansion, where did the remaining eleven fake silver tickets go?" ”
Hou Ye's voice was very cold, cold to the bones.
The eldest lady's whole person was stiffened there, and the evidence of the third young master Chu and the waiter of the criminal department was conclusive, so she didn't give her a chance to quibble at all, and directly pronounced the verdict.
Although Chun Tao is dead, the fake silver ticket of 140,000 taels also costs 200 taels of silver, and she can't afford it at all, and she can't even die without a certificate.
All she could do was confess and be lenient.
The eldest lady gritted her teeth, turned her head and instructed the maid, "Go and get the eleven fake silver tickets." ”
The maid glanced at the eldest lady, didn't dare to delay, and went to get the silver ticket in a hurry.
After the maid left, Hou Ye asked, "Why did you buy a fake silver ticket and send it to Zhongyi Bofu?!" ”
The eldest lady's head turned quickly, she looked at Hou Ye and said, "What purpose can I buy a fake silver ticket, I haven't used a fake silver ticket, but I chatted with my sister-in-law some time ago, and I accidentally mentioned it, saying that someone in Kyoto can make a fake silver ticket, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake, Chun Tao said that she knows." I asked her to buy it, and sent three to my sister-in-law, I didn't say that the silver ticket was fake, and I made a joke with her, saying that the 30,000 taels of silver ticket was a little bit of my heart for Bofu, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to take it seriously, and I took it to Jinmantang to buy jewelry. I'm not feeling well these days. didn't apologize to her, she really shouldn't have ....... ”
As she spoke, her voice choked reads();. His body shook slightly.
The right attendant of the criminal department smiled, "I also saw the silver ticket, if it weren't for my vigilance, I guess I would have taken it seriously." It's just that....... ”
The eldest lady looked up at him.
The right attendant of the Criminal Department paused and said with a smile. "Madame thought it was funny, but it was a violation of national law to make fake silver tickets."
The eldest lady's face turned white. With a flick of her footsteps, if it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have fallen.
"Me. I didn't think much of it at the time," the eldest lady snorted in a weak voice.
Hou Ye frowned. Looking at the right attendant of the Criminal Department, he said, "I have violated the law of the country, how to deal with it, my Hou Mansion has nothing to say." ”
The right attendant of the criminal department was a little embarrassed, according to the law of the country, the eldest lady made a fake silver ticket of 140,000 taels, and it was reasonable to fine 10,000 taels of silver and punish 50 canes.
It's easy to say that the fine is fine, but the rod is fifty, with such a weak body and bones of the eldest lady, how can she bear it?
Qingyun stood aside and listened, and Qingying stuck out her tongue lightly.
Fortunately, no one knows about the girl's use of fake silver tickets, otherwise the girl would not have to be punished the same as the eldest lady, even if it is lighter, how can she be fined 8,000 taels and take 40 boards, right?
Soon, the maid sent the fake silver ticket.
The right attendant of the criminal department took the fake silver ticket and looked at them one by one.
Immediately, her brow furrowed.
Chu Li looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The right attendant of the Criminal Department handed the fake silver ticket to Chu Li, and Chu Li also frowned.
Hou Ye stood up and asked, "Isn't the silver ticket fake?" ”
The right attendant of the Criminal Department shook his head and said, "There is no doubt that this silver ticket is fake, but of these silver tickets, only one was bought by Chun Tao, and the remaining ten are not." ”
The silver tickets of 10,000 taels have a specific number on each one for identification because of their large value and small number.
Saying that, the right attendant of the Criminal Department smiled, "Originally, we were still checking another batch of fake silver tickets with a large amount of money, and we had no clue, and I didn't think that it was all in the Hou Mansion." ”
Hou Ye had a face, embarrassed.
He looked at the eldest lady and asked, "How many fake silver tickets did you buy?!" ”
The eldest lady couldn't wait to hit the wall, and she glanced at Qingyun viciously.
Qingyun looked at it for a long time, with a smile on her face, and there was some provocation: Those fake silver tickets are hers That's right, if you have the guts, you might as well explain to everyone how the fake silver tickets came from.
The eldest lady almost crushed her silver teeth, she looked at the Hou Ye and said, "I only bought fourteen silver tickets, and sent three to the Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion, and the rest are here." ”
Chu Li said with a smile, "Boss Li, who made fake silver tickets, also said that Chun Tao only bought fourteen fake silver tickets, and the number is correct, but the fake silver tickets are not the right number, which is a little strange." ”
The right attendant of the Criminal Department also stood up and said with a smile, "The silver ticket that Madame bought, it can be figured out, as for how to punish it, after I return to the Criminal Department, I will write down the reason and ask the emperor to see if we can deal with it lightly, and we will go to check the whereabouts of the other ten fake silver tickets, so I won't bother, and I will leave reads();." ”
Hou Ye was a little ashamed and said, "I've caused trouble for the two of you." ”
The right attendant of the Criminal Department hurriedly shook his head and said a few polite words.
This can be regarded as adding trouble, they take the court's money, they have to do things for the court, and if they don't check the fake silver tickets, they will also be busy with other things, and there is no time to spare.
Hou Ye personally sent the right attendant of the Criminal Department and Chu Li to leave.
Qingyun stood aside, and when Chu Li saw her, he also bowed respectfully.
After they left, the next day, the Criminal Department came to announce the punishment of the eldest lady for buying a fake silver ticket and giving it to the eldest lady of Zhongyi Bofu.
In view of the fact that she confessed leniently, did not make any quibbles, and did not cause any bad effects, and because she was not in good health and could not bear the heavy punishment of 50 boards, the Criminal Department commuted her as appropriate.
In the end, the eldest lady was fined 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and 25 boards were played.
As for the other 100,000 taels of silver tickets, after the eldest lady was punished, they also surfaced.
Wei Chi took 100,000 taels of fake silver tickets from Qingyun, put them in an envelope, found a little beggar in rags, and sent them to the Criminal Department.
Doing this, Chu Bei couldn't bear to worry Chu Li every day in order to find the 100,000 taels of fake silver tickets, and he was in a hurry.
But he didn't want Qingyun to be punished, so he thought of such a way.
Although I didn't find who bought the fake silver ticket, but if the fake silver ticket was found, it would not flow to the market, and Chu Li would be able to pay the difference.
The errand assigned by the emperor is considered to be completed.
The emperor rewarded Chu Li, and the matter is over, even if it is over.
However, the eldest lady was weak, and she was fined 25 taels of silver, and she was physically and mentally traumatized, and it took more than half a month to recover.
More than half a month has passed, and Qingyun is also relieved.
Not for anything else, just because she embroidered the wedding dress.
The wedding dress that has been embroidered for almost a month is impatient.
On the day the wedding dress was embroidered, she was holding the wedding dress happily.
The maid outside came in and said, "Girl, Master Hou has something to ask you to see him, he is in Chunhui Courtyard." ”
Qingyun frowned, not knowing what Hou Ye was looking for her for.
These days, the Hou Mansion is very calm, and what the Hou Ye is looking for her is, she can't guess at all.
With questions, Qingyun went to Chunhui Courtyard.
Seeing Hou Ye's angry face, Qingyun thought that something big had happened.
I was worried in the bottom of my heart.
As a result, Hou Ye told her with an unhappy face, and her marriage date was delayed again.
