Chapter Seventy-Four: The Iron Mask is Selfless

Dou Lianzhong sneered: "Master Mo asked me to make a note, so I naturally have nothing to say." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Wait!" Mo Fu Yin raised his hand and said: "This document is not what the official wants you to set up, the so-called debt repayment, since you have smashed the heirloom of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, it stands to reason that you have to give someone an explanation." Whether this word is established or not does not depend on the official, but on yourself. If you have written evidence, this is the end of the case, and then you only need to negotiate with the Marquis of Jinyi about compensation. If you don't want to write this document, then don't worry, this official can hand over today's file to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department will discuss and handle the case. ”

"Don't." Dou Lianzhong hurriedly said: "I'll make a note now." ”

He knew that the six departments of Dachu were independent, and the criminal department and the household department were in charge of each other, and although they had to coordinate with each other on specific matters, they could not interfere in each other's affairs.

If today's case file is handed over to the Criminal Department, once it spreads, the two fatal points recorded on it may be used by someone to set off a storm.

At the moment, I can only honestly set up the note first according to Mo Fuyin's meaning, so that the file will not spread, and then discuss with my family how to deal with it when I go back.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are ready-made, Dou Lianzhong walked over and set up a note under the gaze of Mo Fu Yin, and handed it to Mo Fu Yin, Mo Fu Yin glanced at it, frowned slightly, beckoned Yang Ning, and asked, "What do you think of this word?" If you can, sign now. ”

"Nope." Yang Ning glanced at it and immediately said, "What is written on it is to smash the glazed horse, Dou Lianzhong, are you going to do something with the text?" What you smashed was the heirloom of our Jinyi Marquis Mansion, not a glazed horse. ”

"What Ben Gongzi smashed was the glazed horse, whether it was an heirloom or not, Ben Gongzi didn't care." Dou Lianzhong said angrily: "I am based on the truth. ”

Mo Fuyin frowned and said: "It seems that the two of you are still entangled, and there is nothing the official can do about it, so he can only transfer it to the Criminal Department ......!" ”

Dou Lianzhong suddenly froze, and said helplessly: "Okay, Master Mo, I'm ..... I just wrote it as he meant it. Hate glanced at Yang Ning, re-established a note, Yang Ning took it, this was satisfied, Mo Fu Yin asked Dou Lianzhong to sign and draw the handprint, and then handed the note to Yang Ning, Yang Ning put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Dou Gongzi, how to compensate, wait for our Hou Mansion to discuss first, you can rest assured, I will not open my mouth." ”

Dou Lianzhong was annoyed, and he arched his hand at Mo Fu Yin, and said, "Master Mo, Dou will leave first!" Turning around to leave, Yang Ning shouted: "Gongzi Dou, you inform Zhao Xin that you can go to my mansion to receive compensation at any time, my Jinyi Marquis Mansion will repay its debts, and I will never repay my debts." ”

Dou Lianzhong snorted coldly and walked away in a huff.

Only then did Yang Ning bow his hand to Mo Fu Yin and said, "Master Mo, thank you for upholding justice, Qi Ning is grateful!" ”

He is a smart person, so he can naturally see that although Mo Fuyin seems to be fair today, he actually protects himself.

In fact, before he entered the yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, he was ready to fight wits and strength, and he also wanted Dou Lianzhong to set up this note.

It's just that things are going more smoothly than he expected, Mo Fuyin caught Dou Lianzhong's two mistakes and recorded them, and it was with this file that Dou Lianzhong had to make a note.

He felt a little strange in his heart, secretly thinking that this Mo Mansion Yin and the Jinyi Hou Mansion also have a relationship? Otherwise, why would they protect themselves?

However, since Dou Lianzhong dared to let the Kyoto Mansion try this case, it would prove that Mo Mansion Yin had no friendship with the Jinyi Hou Mansion, otherwise Dou Lianzhong would never have stabbed the matter to the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen.

Mo Fu Yin is known as "Mo Tie Xuan", iron-faced selfless, judging cases like a god, today's trial, although it is not unfair to say that things are unfair, but there is some partiality in it, for an iron-faced and selfless person, it is quite abnormal.

Mo Fu Yin looked calm, without the slightest smile, got up, walked away, and the secretary followed behind with the file, neither of them said a word.

Yang Ning and Zhao Wuxian glanced at each other, strange in their hearts.

Mo Fuyin walked to the door, suddenly stopped, made a gesture, the secretary bowed his body, and took the lead in going out, and the four officials also left quickly.

"You saved a child at the flower market yesterday?" Mo Fuyin didn't turn his head, and suddenly asked, "Why did you want to save him?" ”

Yang Ning never imagined that Mo Fu Yin would suddenly have such a question, and was stunned for a moment, thinking of the child rescued from the horse hooves of the prince of Shu in the flower market yesterday, his body shook slightly, and suddenly thought of Lei Yonghu.

He remembered that Yuan Rong had said at that time that Lei Yonghu was not a person from Kyoto Prefecture Yin, so he was related to the Criminal Department, and he didn't think much about it at the time, but he immediately realized something at this time.

"When a horse's hooves hurt someone, I'm right next to me, and no matter who hurts, I won't stand idly by." Yang Ning thought for a moment before he said, "Master Mo, do you need a reason to save people?" ”

Mo Fuyin said lightly: "There are many people who stand by and watch. After a pause, he said, "I heard that you were injured to save the child at that time, and you said that if you were careless, you yourself were worried about your life?" ”

"That's an exaggeration." Yang Ning said with a smile: "Even if I am really stepped on by the horse's hooves, I will be half-paralyzed at best, and I should not want to die." ”

Mo Fuyin bowed slightly, slowly turned around, put his hands behind his back, looked Yang Ning up and down, still unsmiling, and said, "Your courage and courage are indeed very similar to your father." Then his face sank, and he said: "But your father's courage is used to protect the family and defend the country, but your courage is used to deceive people." ”

"Huh?" Yang Ning immediately said: "Master Mo, you .....!" ”

Mo Fu Yin sneered: "How can you hide your little tricks from the eyes of this official? What heirloom? What was the first emperor's gift? It's just an ordinary glazed horse, go to the market, that kind of glazed horse doesn't need three or five taels of silver, what Beidou Nandou, do you think you can deceive the eyes of the official? ”

Yang Ning knew that Mo Tie was clear about his calculations, but knowing this, the other party still protected him, and he was more and more sure that the child he saved must be related to Mo Fuyin.

"This is the only time, not the next one." Mo Fu Yin's expression was cold, and without waiting for Yang Ning to speak, he continued: "The fire that broke out in your pawnshop, I will have people investigate it in detail. Without further ado, he turned and left.

Waiting for Mo Fu Yin to leave, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhao Wushu in a low voice, "What is Mo Fu Yin's name?" ”

"Iron-clad Zheng, Mo Zheng!" Zhao Wuxian said simply and clearly.

The two left Kyoto Mansion and returned to the Hou Mansion, just arrived at the hall, Gu Qinghan was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Yang Ning coming back, he immediately got up to greet him, his pretty face was full of worry, and asked, "Ning'er, you went to Kyoto Mansion?" What the hell is going on? ”

Yang Ning smiled and explained the matter in detail, Gu Qinghan's beautiful big eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "You mean that Dou Lianzhong has made a note?" ”

Yang Ning took out the note from his arms and handed it to Gu Qinghan, Gu Qinghan glanced at it, and was even more surprised when he saw the signature on it: "Heirloom? ”

"Just an ordinary glass horse." There was no one around, and Yang Ning naturally wouldn't hide it from Gu Qinghan: "To deal with people like Dou Lianzhong, you can only use this method." With this note in hand, that Zhao Xin didn't dare to come to the door to claim compensation anymore, and when I was in the mood, I took the note to collect debts. ”

Gu Qinghan was still worried about how to face such a huge amount of compensation, but he didn't want Yang Ning to dissolve it lightly, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are not allowed to use this kind of trick in the future, and the truth will be known, then it will be repaid." ”

"Since you use it, you naturally won't let people know about it." Yang Ning said with a smile: "Sanniang, don't worry, such a method is made by people, it is difficult to deal with people like Dou Lianzhong, and it is necessary to be above board." He lowered his voice and said, "But we still have to be wary of the Dou family, this time it should have disrupted their plans, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not resort to other tricks." ”

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps, and the voice of Manager Qiu came from outside the door: "The third lady is here?" ”

"Come in." Gu Qinghan greeted him, Manager Qiu came in the door, and Gu Qinghan had already asked, "How are things handled over there?" ”

"I've already agreed with those owners that we'll count the losses in the next few days, and then give us half a month." Mr. Qiu: "They are all old neighbors, but they don't object." I estimated that these families together cost about 10,000 taels of silver, and in addition to Zhao Xin's silver, there were also more than 20,000 taels of silver in the pawnshop, which added up to 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver and couldn't pass this hurdle. He sighed and said, "The cash in the mansion now adds up to less than two thousand taels ......, Third Madam, this is really difficult." ”

Gu Qinghan's eyebrows furrowed, although Yang Ning solved Dou Lianzhong's side, and Zhao Xin's more than 10,000 taels of silver should not be taken care of for the time being, but the compensation of other people cannot be less, even if Zhao Xin's silver is removed, it will take at least 40,000 taels of silver to fill the current hole in the Hou Mansion.

Since the beginning of the old marquis, the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion has been very honest, in addition to the normal income, there is no other gray income, three thousand food estates, plus hundreds of hectares of land and the profit of two stores, in a year, it is actually fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, only in terms of income on the surface, this is already an extremely rich income in Dachu.

In fact, the annual consumption of the Hou Mansion is far less than this amount.

"There is no news from Jiangling so far, something must have happened." Manager Qiu suddenly said: "Third lady, right now, I am counting on Jiangling's silver to be able to cope with a momentary emergency, if even Jiangling's silver can't be delivered, this hurdle can't be passed at all." Do you want to send someone over there again? ”

"I've sent people here several times, but there's no news." Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Manager Qiu, you prepare, I will leave today and set off for Jiangling!" ”

"Huh?" Chief Manager Qiu hurriedly said: "Third lady, do you want to go to Jiangling in person?" ”

Gu Qinghan said: "This has been delayed for more than a month, and there must be something big going on." Yang Ning guessed that Jiangling Tax Silver was involved in this fire and even the assassination incident in the other hospital, and there was a black hand behind the control, Gu Qinghan also felt quite reasonable, "I have to go to Jiangling in person." ”

"But here, ....., third lady, why don't I go, you stay in the house." Manager Qiu thought for a moment before he said, "I will definitely bring back the tax money when I go." ”

"Manager Qiu, it's usually you who come into contact with those people outside." Gu Qinghan said: "I'm a woman's family, it's not good to show my face, you stabilize those people here first, try to get them to agree to postpone it for a while, and I'll go back quickly." ”

"But the third lady is going, I really can't rest assured." Manager Qiu smiled bitterly.

Gu Qinghan said: "Don't worry, my hometown is also in Jiangling, and I am very familiar with that side." ”

"I'll go with Sanniang." Yang Ning suddenly said: "With me by Sanniang's side, everything is naturally safe." ”
