Chapter 288: The Gambling Contract
Xia Hai was so frightened that he almost didn't catch his breath, but suddenly realized that it was daylight, where would there be powerful ghosts?
He reacted quickly, tried to calm his mind for a while, and then asked, "You're not dead?" ”
Only then did the county master recognize that it was Xi Muyun, and opened his mouth wide in shock, "You...... How could you not die? You're not already ......"
Xi Muyun smiled and looked like Xia Hai, "Why do you see me looking weak and scared, isn't it because I did something wrong, so I feel scared?" ”
Xia Hai took a step back and calmed down, "What are you doing?" Why did you do it since you weren't dead? ”
"Of course, to find out who is harming me." Xi Muyun smiled faintly and said: "After the incident, I had almost no power to fight back, even if I went to find witnesses, I was unwilling to help me, only by this method did I find out the truth of the facts, and now that the investigation has been clear, I naturally have no need to hide it anymore." ”
A hint of gloom flashed in Xia Hai's eyes, "You ......"
"Doing so not only cleared my name, but also made me discover an unexpected joy." Xi Muyun said with a smile: "That is, your Xia family is also involved, a girl's dignity and innocence are more important than ten thousand taels of gold, and you are doing this just to defeat me." ”
What she hasn't done is what she hasn't done, and she won't cry, make trouble, and hang herself, proving her innocence is the most important thing.
Xia Hai laughed, "Your woman's way of proving her innocence is very special, this matter has nothing to do with my Xia family, not to mention that even if this matter is done by my Xia family, there is no need to go to court, after all, you are still alive." ”
"There are too few places to uphold justice in this world, Master Xia might as well make it clear here, in case there are many unwarranted rights and wrongs in the future, I Xi Muyun can't use the same method to prove my innocence." Xi Muyun said with a smile.
"Do you still think I did it, do you have any evidence?" Xia Hai said with a smile.
At this time, if you admit it, then the Xia family will have no face at all.
So no matter what, it must not be admitted.
Xi Muyun stood up with a smile and looked at the county lord with a surprised face and said, "Lord County Order, I don't know about this matter, you are still unwilling to uphold justice for me?" ”
The county magistrate thought about it, although Xi Muyun was not dead, but it was too much trouble, if he left it alone, I am afraid that saying it would make people talk about it.
It's better to make a ruling on this, no matter how this matter is resolved at that time, he will not be responsible for this matter.
Thinking of this, he nodded heavily, "Of course I do, but if you are still alive, the nature of this matter will change, I am afraid it will be just a simple civil dispute, and at that time, even if Xia Hai is confirmed to be related to this matter, I am afraid that he will not be responsible for this matter." ”
"As long as those people who are concerned about this case know the truth of the matter, I will not interfere with the verdict when the time comes." Xi Muyun said with certainty.
The county commander nodded and looked at Xia Hai, "What about you?" ”
Xia Hai was already surprised by this sudden change and didn't know what to say, and at this time, he was not completely prepared, so he sneered and said: "Since the matter is found out, and the real murderer does not have to face prison, is there any need to investigate?" I don't have time to waste on such trivial matters. With that, he got up and was about to leave.
Xi Muyun immediately stopped him, smiled and said: "There is a poem that is well written, you are not afraid of broken bones, you want to leave your innocence in the world, Master Xia was accused by Zhang Li of this matter, not to mention that the two of us were also extremely unhappy for the water wheel pump business before, no matter what, Master Xia is also suspected of committing a major crime, if you don't make these words clear in court today, I'm afraid there will be rumors soon, as a businessman, isn't it afraid of this?" Or does Master Xia have a ghost in his heart? ”
Xia Hai was flustered for a while, at this time, it was really not a retreat, nor was it an advance.
Xi Muyun's words forced him to such a dilemma, this woman was really terrifying, as if nothing could defeat her.
Every time he proudly thinks that his plan is absolutely seamless and never disclosed, but it seems to be so vulnerable in front of this woman.
He thought about it, instead of facing the infamy of being burdened with suspicion, it was better to make it clear in this place, and there might not be a handle for people to handle.
Thinking of this, he sneered, and said with a fearless look: "Since Miss Xi said so, then someone Xia will accompany me to the end, but if I didn't do it, Miss Xi would apologize to me on the spot." ”
Xi Muyun smiled, "It's just to investigate the truth, can Master Xia be so narrow-minded?" ”
"Don't put a high hat on me." Xia Hai laughed and said, "Since you want to do this, you must bear the consequences of doing so." ”
Xi Muyun nodded, "Okay, if it is clear that this matter is mastermind behind the scenes, or if it has something to do with Master Xia, then what about Master Xia?" ”
"Then I'll kneel down and kowtow to you." Xia Hai said.
"This is a bit interesting, but Master Xia is older than me, and he can be reluctantly called an elder, if you do this, then the little woman I won't be convinced of her life, then I can't afford it, it's better like this, I don't want those empty things, if this matter is really related to Master Xia, then how about you compensate me for the mental damage of 10,000 taels of silver?" Xi Muyun said with a chuckle.
Xia Hai hesitated, Xi Muyun caught his hesitation, and asked with a sneer, "What?" Don't dare? Where did the momentum go? Or do you have a ghost in your heart and feel that you are likely to be exposed, so you don't dare to agree? ”
This radical method really has several uses, Xia Hai immediately raised his head and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”
Xi Muyun turned his head to look at the county master, "You heard what the two of us said just now, the county magistrate, please make a notarization." ”
The county magistrate nodded, "Of course I heard it." ”
Xi Muyun turned his head with a smile and said, "Then let's start." ”
Natsumi returned to his seat and sat down.
The county magistrate saw that neither of them spoke, and he didn't know where to start for a while, and hesitated for a while before he asked: "Where does this start, where can we prove guilt and innocence?" ”
Xi Muyun smiled, "As a parent official, doesn't the county magistrate know how to find out the truth of the matter from this fog?" Naturally, I started to look for the strange place in it. ”
The county magistrate nodded, and then said: "Cuiyun seems to have mentioned those two valuable gifts at that time, not like Zhang Li could afford to buy them, and they were also sent anonymously by others. ”
Xi Muyun nodded, "The problem is in this place. After speaking, she looked up at Xia Hai, watched his expression change, and said word by word: "Those who can buy these two things must be very rich, and I really can't think of a few people who have an enmity with me and are rich." ”
Xia Hai snorted coldly, "With your subjective assumptions, I'm afraid it can't be used as evidence." ”
"Yes, so I investigated the origin of these two things, and coincidentally, they are both from the Treasure Pavilion in the capital." Xi Muyun said with a smile: "It's just that the boss there is very secretive and doesn't want to reveal who customized these two things." ”
