Ouyang Mingyu said: "Why should Mrs. Yan be aggressive? I ordered someone to send a letter to Master Yan, but there was no privacy matter, but it was for the sake of business and business. ”

Chen said: "My Yan family and the Xie family have no dealings. ”

Ou Yangmingyu said: "It's my Xie family who was framed for bribery. I thought that this matter was not only about the Xie family. If this offence is confirmed, what will happen to all the merchants who donate in the future? ”

Chen stopped, looked at her and sneered: "Mrs. Xie, please forgive me for being blunt: you can go and deliver letters to others, not my master." If you hadn't turned your back on my lord back then, even if I was jealous, I would have nothing to say; However, if you turn your back on my master first, what face do you have to beg him to come forward and share your worries? Ouyang Mingyu was arrogant back then, I don't know how many young talents he dumped, how could he become so undignified? ”

Ouyang Mingyu endured and said: "You and I are both wives and mothers, when the catastrophe comes, you still care about your face, how can you be responsible?" If you want to insult me, I will bear it. ”

Chen said coldly: "I don't want to insult you. I just beg you not to drag my master in. They are all married and have a family, and they must act decently. I'm scared of you! ”

After that, turn around and leave.

Ouyang Mingyu looked at her back with a cold gaze.

The next day, Lord Wang held a trial in the official office of the Splendid Hall.

First, it is to review the collusion between the Xie family and Xia Weaving.

Second, check the identity of Li Jushi and whether he is really Guo Zhinu's teacher.

This is a semi-public trial, except for the people who are not allowed to enter, the brocade merchants are like opening a brocade meeting. gathered in the Splendid Hall, Fang Chu was also summoned to the scene, waiting for questioning.

As soon as he entered. It attracted a lot of attention.

Young Master Zeng said: "Young Master Fang can do such a thing, and he can still come with confidence, I really don't know how to write the word shame!" ”

Fang Chu smiled: "Win the prize!" Compared to Young Master Zeng, Fang was far behind. Young Master Zeng was ungrateful, thinking that if Guo Zhinu was convicted, several major families would be implicated and attacked, and the Zeng family would be able to take the opportunity to come out. Dominated, right? I am afraid that your efforts will be in vain. The Zeng family behaved like this, who would dare to have fellowship with you? Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is nothing to you. Kindness and revenge is your forte. ”

Young Master Zeng shouted angrily: "You dare to spew blood!" ”

Fang Chu said contemptuously: "Do you still need me to spray?" You're already dirty! ”

After speaking, he walked into the official hall with his head held high.

Young Master Zeng's face was extremely embarrassed.

Everyone whispered, seeing that Young Master Zeng was ashamed, but the other party was puzzled at first.

Church. Xie Yinyue and Xie Mingli were already kneeling.

Fang Chu came up. The father and daughter of the Xie family all looked at him with fierce eyes.

Xie Yinyue's gaze was particularly hateful, and her body trembled slightly because she couldn't suppress her emotions.

Fang Chu didn't look at them, and went straight forward and knelt down to meet Lord Wang.

Lord Wang asked: "Fang Chu, this official asked you: Xie Yinyue said that you gave her the idea of donating, but is there such a thing?" ”

Fang Chu said: "It was indeed Xiaomin's idea. ”

I actually confessed it!

Xie Yinyue's body shook, a little surprised.

She thought. He'll deny it!

Lord Wang said: "Boldly Diao Min, are you guilty?" ”

Fang Chu said: "What is the crime? Which law of Dajing was violated by this move? ”

Lord Wang's face sank. Said: "Isn't it a felony that you borrowed the means of donations, deceived the world, bribed Xia Weaving, and sought benefits for the Xie family?" ”

Fang Chu said: "The adults say this, but the small people are not convinced. ”

Lord Wang: "What other justification do you have?" ”

Fang Chu said: "If the lord is sentenced like this, then all the Jin merchants who have donated recently should be taken down and punished!" ”

Lord Wang remade the shocking wood and shouted: "What nonsense! How can the two be compared! ”

Fang Chu said in a deep voice: "How can it not be compared? The donations made on the same day were all used for the victims of the disaster, instead of being sent to the weaving house, how can it be judged that it was a bribe? ”

Wang Dadao: "You are seeking an opportunity for Xia Jieyi's younger brother to embezzle the imperial court's disaster relief funds!" ”

Fang Chu said patiently: "My lord, we are merchants, not court officials!" We only know about donations, and as for how much the disaster relief money is embezzled or misappropriated after it is received by the officials, or all of it is used for disaster relief, it is not something we can control, it is the responsibility of the imperial court. For example, in this disaster relief, the adults have collected nearly 3 million silver. If the adults did not follow the order to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, or Xia Weaving took the lead, I don't know how many people were filled. Can adults say, this is my fault and other merchants? ”

Lord Wang was speechless.

Fang Chu continued to talk eloquently: "Don't hide it from your lordship, during the drought in Hejian Mansion, our family also donated 100,000 silver, and also used a pseudonym. This is something that even Xia Weaving doesn't know. The adults said that it was good for us to please Xia Weaving, it was a matter of conscience, in short, that time it was really used for the victims. All expenses are recorded in the account books of Hejian Province.

"When my grandfather was alive, he repeatedly warned the people: You must not be manipulated by money, and you will do whatever it takes to gain profits, and you will eventually perish.

"'If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world'.

"For many years, donations for disaster relief and road construction have not only been subject to the local government and need to rely on their breath, but also because we sincerely want to do good deeds and accumulate merits, so as not to be smoked by the smell of copper and suffer retribution."

After listening to this large and sincere words, Lord Wang's face softened a lot.

However, he did not let Fang Chu go, and pointed out sharply: "This official pointed out that the Xie family colluded with Xia Weaving, and the key is that Xia Weaving granted a large number of orders to the Xie family afterwards, and the Xie family was no longer an imperial merchant at that time. ”

Fang Chu asked unhurriedly: "On the high platform that day, did you hear that the major merchants did not donate, were you displeased?" ”

Lord Wang said: "This official is indeed displeased. ”

Fang Chu said: "Later, everyone explained the reason, and they all donated a large sum of silver, did the adults reverse their impression of them?" Will this matter be brought to the court? ”

Lord Wang nodded slightly.

Fang Chu said again: "When the new weaving official takes office, the palace and the court officials will use the order, won't they be awarded to these powerful brocade merchants who donate money for disaster relief, and will they be awarded to the brocade merchants who are indefatigable?" ”

The king had already understood what he meant.

In such a serious disaster, fortunately, the major merchants set up soup kitchens, soup kitchens, medicines and clothes, so that all the victims who fled were properly resettled; He also donated a huge amount of silver taels so that the government could arrange for the reconstruction and repair of the river after the disaster, all of which reduced many difficulties for him, and all the work went smoothly, so he naturally wanted to reward them on behalf of the imperial court.

He looked at Fang Chu and couldn't help but show admiration.

This is not to say that he thinks that the Xie family is innocent, the Xie family originally gave disaster relief to Hejian Mansion in order to show goodwill to Xia Weaving, and he is indeed selfish. However, Fang Chu made good use of it and used this bribe on the victims, killing two birds with one stone, and only then did he have today's results.

This person has great talent, but it is a pity to join the businessman.

At this time, the head of the Fang family brought physical evidence, a large bag, and presented it to the court.
