"Humph......"

The petty official didn't speak again, but just lowered his head angrily and slammed the rice.

Nima, what kind of attitude is this, at least this meal is still Ye Xiaoyu spent money to invite, shouldn't you treat the people who invite you to dinner?

Seeing the appearance of the junior official, Ye Xiaoyu was a little unhappy.

"Do you want others to ask Young Master Ling for money?"

Ye Xiaoyu raised her head and asked.

She didn't expect that the petty official to answer her, but Lu Tiangui was present, and someone would definitely answer this question.

"Junior officer, do you know about this situation?"

Sure enough, seeing that the junior official just lowered his head to eat and didn't answer, Lu Tiangui asked again.

"Well, many people put their money with him after listening to what he said that they could double it in a month, and most of them didn't get the money after the first month, so everyone started to urge, but Young Master Ling put it off again and again, and now it's almost three months."

The junior official looked at Lu Tiangui and said, ignoring Ye Xiaoyu the whole time.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about him either, because she suddenly realized a problem, which had also been confirmed by the junior official just now. The reason why many people are willing to put money on the side of "Ling Yu" is because of his status as the son of the richest man in Yuejing and the high rate of return that doubles every month, but these people give money to "Ling Yu" only by the temptation of short-term interests, and they will continue to put money in "Ling Yu" only if they receive a full return on time every month, and now it has been three months since Ye Xiaoyu first met him, if as the petty official said, the people who did not get the money began to urge him. That's-

"Ling Yu" may run away in the next day or two, taking the money he defrauded from these people.

"Do you know anyone else who lent him money?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked again.

The situation is a bit urgent, but if this matter is handled well, it can save the reputation of the real Ling Yu and restore his innocence.

"Why did you sue you?"

The junior official thought that Ye Xiaoyu was scolding him, but he still looked reluctant.

"You don't have to sue me, anyway, it's your money that lent him and it's not my money, tell you the truth, that Young Master Ling will run away in the next two days, and if you can't get the money back, don't hide in the corner and cry."

Ye Xiaoyu was a little angry. Say it directly.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bear to watch Ling Yu's reputation be ruined here. She didn't bother to care about this matter, the junior official knew Lu Tiangui, not her, and he still ignored her. That's it. Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to deal with him.

"That guy is going to run away?"

Lu Tiangui's face was full of surprise.

"That's right. Actually, there is nothing incomprehensible about this. As the petty official said just now, many people who lent him money have begun to ask him for debts, and his behavior obviously has no intention of repaying. If you don't leave at this time, will you still stay here and be beaten? ”

In fact, Ye Xiaoyu still has a question, "Ling Yu" is a liar anyway, it stands to reason that he should be able to leave after defrauding so much money, how could it be delayed until now?

"So, what now? You can't just leave him alone, right? ”

The junior official was still angry, and Lu Tiangui asked for him.

"I have a solution, but-"

Ye Xiaoyu looked at the little official who was poking the rice with chopsticks.

"I don't know if some people are willing to get their money back."

"Xiaoyu, what are you talking about? There is no reason why anyone is unwilling to get the money back. ”

Lu Tiangui knew what Ye Xiaoyu meant, and he hurriedly played a round for the junior official.

"If there is any way, you can just say it, can't I do it?"

was said by Ye Xiaoyu, and the little official finally spoke. But the tone is still not very friendly.

"It's your money anyway, and you don't have to do it."

Ye Xiaoyu's most angry thing in her life is that others raise the bar with her, and she is never willing to back down half a point. Except, of course, in cases involving one's own life.

The petty official wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason, so he could only sulk there.

"Xiaoyu, what can you do?"

Lu Tiangui asked.

"It's actually quite simple. We can't do anything about it, but it doesn't mean that the government has no way to do it like us......"

"You mean to report to the police? But there is only one petty official, and when the yamen accepts it, that person has long since disappeared. ”

Before Ye Xiaoyu finished speaking, Lu Tiangui raised his own questions.

"Listen to me first."

Ye Xiaoyu shook her head and continued.

"If a petty official goes to report to the official alone, then the yamen will only treat this matter as a civil dispute between ordinary people to borrow money, which of course there is nothing he can do; But if there is a large group of people like the junior official who go to report to the official, things will be different, and the fake Ling Yu will make up the amount of return when borrowing money, this matter is likely to be characterized as criminal fraud, and the consequences will be completely different. ”

"Xiaoyu, how do you know so much?"

Lu Tiangui was surprised again, what Ye Xiaoyu just said was all knowledge of the law, he had never heard of it, let alone knew it.

"What it looks like in the book."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled.

The reason why she was able to master so much knowledge of the law was not due to the fact that Lu Yishou was arrested in Rongzhou last time, and there were some obscure literary and legal provisions at that time, which were explained to her by Qinglang.

"Fake Ling Yu? Is this Ling Gongzi fake? ”

The reflex arc of the petty officer was a little long, and it took a while to realize the problem.

"yes, it's fake."

Lu Tiangui replied.

"How do you know he's fake? Have you ever seen the truth? ”

The petty officer asked again.

Hearing this, Lu Tiangui glanced at Ye Xiaoyu. This question is not easy to answer, if they said that they had seen the real Ling Yu, then why didn't they sue the junior official earlier and let his money be cheated away; But if they haven't seen it, then how did they deduce that this "Ling Yu" is fake?

"Nope."

Ye Xiaoyu answered directly and simply, she is not familiar with the petty officials, so she doesn't need to think about it as much as Lu Tiangui.

"But with a little brain, you know he's fake. You see that he declares to the public every day how good his family's business is, and he has financial contacts with many businessmen here in Rongzhou, but have you ever seen him really talk about business with people one day? Have you ever been to his home in Rongzhou City? None of them. The one you've seen the most should be his appearance in the most expensive and high-end restaurant on our side. After he got so much money from you, it was nothing to take out some money and invite someone to eat in the restaurant. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Ye Xiaoyu continued.

Not only that, but his usual remarks are also full of loopholes. As a businessman, it's not about making money. But he would be willing to give up his share of profits for the sake of you who have never lived in life, and he will not ask for anything in return. I closed my eyes and thought, there will be no such good thing as zài in this world. ”

After saying it in one breath, Ye Xiaoyu looked at the two people sitting opposite.

"At that time, I listened to the conversation between that person and Brother Lu in the teahouse, and I heard that many people put money with him, so I wanted to try it, who would have thought that it would become like this......"

After a moment of silence, the junior officer whispered. The tone was much softer than before.

"Xiaoyu, do you have any good solutions?"

Lu Tiangui asked.

During the time he returned to Quanxiu Village, he had heard a lot of rumors about Ye Xiaoyu, some good and some bad, most of them saying that she had a pungent personality, a wild heart, and was difficult to get along with. But since getting along recently, Ye Xiaoyu has broken Lu Tiangui's previous impression of her, especially the analysis just now, which made him feel that Ye Xiaoyu does have some skills as those rumors rumored.

"Do you know anyone else who lent him money?"

Ye Xiaoyu looked at the junior official and asked.

"I know some."

The attitude of the petty official became obviously deferential.

"You tell those people about the situation I just said, let them tell each other, the more people gathered, the better, but this matter must be kept secret, don't let that fake Ling Yu find out, while he is still here for the past two days, you quickly find a reason to ask him out, and then twist him to the yamen together."

Although Ye Xiaoyu didn't know why the fake Ling Yu was still in Rongzhou City, as long as he was there, he would definitely not refuse the money, as long as the news that the petty officials would have relatives who wanted to deposit the money on his side spread, "Ling Yu" would definitely appear. Of course, the premise is that the rumors of this matter cannot be leaked, otherwise it will be useless to talk about it.

"You wouldn't know that Ling Yu's contact information, would you?"

Seeing that the little official's face became even more ugly, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I always went to Manfulu to look for him, and he said that he was the owner over there, and there was a guy there to send him a message. But because of today's events, I don't know if he will see me again. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can reach his ears. If you can't, isn't there anyone else? ”

Poured himself a glass of water, Ye Xiaoyu said.

"But in order not to leak the news, you'd better report to the official with a few more reliable people first, or go and catch him first. Once the fake Ling Yu knows that you are going to arrest him and send him to the official, even if he doesn't run away immediately, he will definitely hide in a place where people can't find him immediately. ”

Ye Xiaoyu originally planned to ask the petty officials to gather some people who were also borrowed by "Ling Yu" to twist him to the yamen, but after thinking about it, he felt that this method was not reliable enough, because there was no guarantee of what the relationship between those people and "Ling Yu" was, and there was no guarantee that those people would not secretly tell "Ling Yu", so for the sake of insurance, it was better to report to the official first, and it would be more reliable for the yamen to do it.

"Okay, then I'll get in touch now."

As he spoke, the junior officer immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

Ye Xiaoyu looked outside on the street, the night market in Rongzhou City had just begun, and the petty official was not bothering others when he contacted him now, so he didn't stop it. (To be continued......)
