Chapter 68 - Breaking the House

"I don't know where the official let our mother and daughter go?" The older woman's voice was cold, as sharp as a knife.

"What so much nonsense? Let you go and follow along. "That official is an elm pimple, and I can't tell that she is a cool person.

"Does the official invite our mother and daughter to dinner in the restaurant, or does he want to invite us to watch a play in the garden?" The words are full of irony, it can be seen that this elderly sister-in-law has also seen some of the world, and she is not like those ignorant women, who are frightened when they see the government.

Flutter~

She said this lightly, but she was amused by the people around her, everyone knew that she was deliberately embarrassing this official who accepted bribes, and they all put on a posture of watching the excitement. Qin Daixin also felt that this woman had a sharp mouth, but she was not annoying, and she made up her mind to mix it up.

The official was a little annoyed, and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, you can't get up yet?" ”

Then the woman said, "Where are you going?" ”

The official was a little impatient, and was about to take another step forward, but was pulled by another official, who stepped forward and said, "This sister-in-law, I'll tell you the truth!" The shopkeeper of Chen Ji reported to the official, saying that you were blackmailing, so we asked your mother and daughter to go to the yamen with us. ”

The woman didn't lift her eyelids, "Blackmail? It is only natural to repay debts, and we haven't sued them for not paying back the money? How dare they sue the wicked first? ”

The shopkeeper-looking man who had bribed the official before stepped forward and said, "You woman, you are so unreasonable, our owner's brother has not heard from him more than ten years ago, how could such a relative of you suddenly appear?" What is it not blackmail to say that if you don't pay back the money you owe? ”

"Hmph, empty talk? Did he, Chen Fuju, forget the IOU he wrote down back then? The tone was full of confidence, "So I really have to go with the two officials, and they both say, 'Money can make ghosts grind', I want to see that this IOU written in white and low black can be relied on by anyone." ”

The second shopkeeper who was not able to live just now, as soon as he heard that there was an IOU, he was at a loss at the moment, who did not know that the governor of Taizhou was a good and honest official, upright and upright, and handled everything impartially.

His hesitation also made the two officials show timidity, thinking that it would not be difficult to collect some small money to deal with two country women, but he actually ran into a hard bone, if this matter was stabbed above, the two brothers would be inseparable, and when they were thinking about whether it was time to return the money, Qin Dai took a step forward and came to the center of the circle.

Ruyi looked at the back of his young lady, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet, this official can't say anything clearly, what are you involved with?

"This sister-in-law, the two officials, and the shopkeeper, passed by here, listened to your affairs, and had an idea in mind, although it is not the best of both worlds, but it is also a solution, I don't know if I can let the villain tell it, and give a few people to refer to it in detail." Qin Daixin was dressed as a man at this time, and she looked like a literati with some knowledge, except for the mother and daughter on the ground who did not express their position, the other three all looked like they were talking about it.

Qin Daixin looked at the woman sitting on the ground and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm an outsider, and I will definitely not help others." ”

The woman, perhaps at a loss, asked, "Let me hear what you say." ”

Qin Dai disagreed, and said: "This sister-in-law said that Shopkeeper Chen owes their family an old account, and there is an IOU as evidence, and she wants Shopkeeper Chen to pay back the money; But the shopkeeper Chen felt that he had been separated from his brother for many years, and this relative may be a faker. The two sides insist on their own words, and it seems difficult to distinguish, but in fact, it is also easy. ”

"How easy is it?" Not only did the two officials ask anxiously, but the people watching the excitement on the side couldn't help but be curious.

"Think about it, this sister-in-law came from afar, if she wants to blackmail, why don't you go to someone else's house, and only pick up the shopkeeper Chen? There are so many rich and noble families on this street, and it may not be that only Shopkeeper Chen can get these, right? "The implication is that your Chen family is not rich enough, and you have to extort a big family.

"This shopkeeper, I don't know that the shopkeeper Chen said that he doesn't know this sister-in-law?" Asked a little knowingly.

"Of course."

"If you really don't want to do it, you just need to let people coax you out, so why let people report to the officials and give the two officials money?" She said this very quietly, only the shopkeeper and the two officials heard it, and the faces of the three suddenly froze.

"Therefore, we all know in our hearts what this matter is, and our relatives are not pretending to recognize it, but because they have been separated for many years, they have not recognized it for a while; It's not that I don't want to pay the debt, but I want to figure out the identities of these two before making plans later. Qin Daixin whispered to the woman: "Now that your daughter is sick, it is the time to use the money, if you really start a lawsuit, I am afraid that it will take some time, you just get the money, and my daughter's illness is afraid that it will not be cured." What's more, how do you know that they are not official and businessmen! When the time comes, I robbed you of the IOU in your hand and convicted you of blackmail, and I am afraid that it is possible to die in prison. ”

She saw that the woman's expression was relaxed, and knew that she had moved her mind, so she came to the second shopkeeper and said: "I don't mix with the affairs of the Chen family, but their mother and daughter are really pitiful. "Businessmen are the most honest, and if there is no integrity, it is untenable.

The second shopkeeper seemed to be weighing Qin Daixin's words, bowed his head and said silently, Qin Daixin saw it, and said: "If this woman really takes out the IOU, I am afraid that the shopkeeper Chen will not only have to repay the money and interest, but also fall into the pretext of bullying orphans and widows." Needless to say, you also know the temper of Lord Taizhou Zhizhou, if you really let him judge this case......" She didn't say anything later, planning to let the person figure it out for himself.

The people on both sides seemed to be at a stalemate, and the happiest thing was that the two officials stepped forward and asked, "According to your wishes, how to solve it?" ”

"It's simple, let the woman tell the amount of money that the shopkeeper owes, add some interest appropriately, send the shopkeeper back to report, and take the money in exchange for the IOU. The shopkeeper Chen has a small matter of repaying money, but it is a big matter to help relatives. I don't hide a few things, and then I know a little about medical skills, I see that the girl is not lightly ill, it should be an old disease, it is better to spend money, and give them money to go back to their hometown. ”

The shopkeeper said, "What if they are entangled?" ”

Qin Dai thought to herself, this is what Shopkeeper Chen is most worried about, right? On his face, he pretended to be light and said: "The money owed has been paid off, who is still in charge of other people's lives?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, turned and went back to the shop to ask for instructions, and the woman agreed, silently taking out a yellowed piece of paper from her clothes.

In the end, under the witness of everyone, the shopkeeper Chen spent 200 taels of silver to "buy" back the IOU from many years ago, of which the principal was 150 taels; Fifty taels of interest.

The facts were satisfactorily resolved, and the people around them dispersed one by one, and Ruyi looked at Qin Daixin as if he had seen an idol, with little stars in his eyes.

"Alright, the matter is settled, and we should get down to business." Qin Dai was in a good mood and walked to the agreed place with Ruyi, and the master and servant had just turned around, but suddenly heard an unexpected call.

"Benefactor stays."
