Chapter Seventy-Three: Arrears

Yang Ning was not in a hurry to speak, but Dou Lianzhong had already smiled and said: "Master Mo's eyes are like torches, and he can see the truth and falsehood at a glance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" stared at Yang Ning and sneered: "What else do you have to say?" ”

"What do you want me to say?" Yang Ning said calmly: "Could it be that Master Mo has already given the final decision?" ”

"Didn't you hear that Lord Mo said that this is made of inferior glass." Dou Lianzhong puffed up his chest, "Speaking of which, I really don't know what judgment you need." ”

"Master Mo only said that from the perspective of material, it is not a valuable treasure." Yang Ning was not arrogant or impatient, "But I didn't say that this glass horse is not a baby." Since you know antique calligraphy and painting, you should know that some calligraphy and painting paper and ink are very ordinary, but the painted paintings are worth a thousand gold, and the real treasure is not necessarily based on the material. ”

Dou Lianzhong was still arguing, but a smile appeared in Mo Fuyin's eyes, and said: "Qi Ning is right, judging from the material alone, this is indeed not a treasure, but this official has not denied that this glass horse itself is not a treasure." ”

Dou Lianzhong was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

"Qi Ning, you said this is your family heirloom?" Mo Fuyin asked, "Where does this start?" ”

"Back to the words of adults, this glazed horse was given to my grandfather by the first emperor, and there are stars on it of the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven nights of the Big Dipper, which can distinguish between life and death." Yang Ning said leisurely: "If this glazed horse is as good as ever, it can still shine at night." ”

Mo Fu Yin was stunned, "This is given by the first emperor?" ”

"Exactly." Yang Ning said: "It has been treasured in our Jinyi Hou Mansion for decades, and it has just been taken out today, and I don't want to be ......!" Glaring at Dou Lianzhong, he said with an angry face: "Dou Lianzhong actually ruined this family heirloom, and he made an excuse to cheat, so please call the shots." ”

Mo Fu Yin bowed slightly, Dou Lianzhong saw this, and said hurriedly: "Lord Mo, what he said is the reward of the first emperor is the reward of the first emperor?" Who knows if he is using the first emperor as a pretense, the first emperor has died, and the dead can't ......! ”

"Shut up!" Mo Fu Yin said sharply: "Dou Lianzhong, you are so bold, you dare to blaspheme the first emperor, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Dou Lianzhong was also in a hurry, and was reprimanded by Mo Fuyin, and immediately woke up and said in a panic: "Master Mo, I'm ..... I didn't mean that. ”

"Do you know that with your words, I can punish you for your felonies?" Mo Fu Yin's expression was gloomy, "This is Kyoto Mansion, you blasphemed the first emperor in front of your own officials, what is your intention?" ”

Dou Lianzhong's face suddenly turned red, "Master Mo, I definitely don't mean anything to blaspheme the first emperor, I just want to say it..... I just want to say that if it is a gift from the first emperor, there will be a record, whether this glass horse is a gift from the first emperor, as long as you check the archives. ”

At this time, the secretary had already raised his head and asked Mo Fuyin, "My lord, is this sentence ..... just now?" ”

When Dou Lianzhong heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Master Mo, Master Mo, I .....!" He knew in his heart that if his words just now were recorded in the file, the consequences would be unimaginable, he was used to bullying people on weekdays, and when he arrived in Kyoto Mansion today, he was still a little cautious, but just now he saw that Mo Fu Yin had changed his mood because of the four words "given by the first emperor", for fear that Mo Fu Yin would favor Yang Ning because of this.

He was annoyed in his heart, but Yang Ning respectfully said to Mo Fu Yin: "My lord, now that the case is being tried, will every word be recorded?" ”

"I don't need you to remind you." Mo Fuyin said lightly, and said to the bookstore: "You have been a bookstore for so many years, don't you still know the rules?" Is it necessary to ask more questions about this sentence? ”

The clerk hurriedly said: "It's a little reckless." "Say no more, pick up the pen and write.

Dou Lianzhong's face was like ashes, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, knowing that he had made an unforgivable mistake today.

If it was someone else, it would be easy to let his father go through the doorway in private, and it would naturally be easy to revise a dossier, but he was faced with Mo Fuyin, who was known as "Mo Tieduan", and what was even worse was that Yang Ning was present when he heard his words.

"What Dou Lianzhong said makes sense." Mo Fu Yin said: "The things that the Son of Heaven rewarded his subordinates are recorded in the imperial court, and the royal things are recorded in Shangbao Prison, and if it is a reward pulled out of the household department, the household department must also have a record." Fu Xu said: "Dou Lianzhong's father is the head of the household, if this glazed horse is allocated from the household, it can naturally be found in the household, otherwise it can also be investigated from the Shang Bao supervisor in the palace." ”

Dou Lianzhong hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it." Master Mo, I have already sent someone to the household department to find records about this glazed horse. ”

Only then did Yang Ning understand that when Zhao Xin left alone before, it should have been Dou Lianzhong who sent him to the household department.

Mo Fuyin frowned and said, "Dou Lianzhong, you don't seem to have an official position. “

Dou Lianzhong was stunned and didn't know what he meant.

"You don't have an official status, so how can you assign someone to go to the household department to investigate the file?" Mo Fu Yin said lightly: "Although Ling Zun is a household secretary, even if Ling Zun wants to access the file and relevant procedures, I don't know how easily you can send someone to investigate?" In this case, if you want to investigate the file, it should be my Kyoto Prefecture to come forward and check the file with the household department or even Shang Baojian to check the file, you seem to be in too much of a hurry, right? ”

Dou Lianzhong immediately realized that he had made a second fatal mistake.

Although Dou Kui is the secretary of the household department, but Dou Lianzhong has no official status and has no right to meddle in the affairs of the household department, he actually sent people to the household department to check the files, just like if the household department is regarded as his own backyard, this matter will be spread, once a political enemy knows, he can use this matter to hit Dou Kui hard.

The muscles on Dou Lianzhong's face twitched, and his brain was confused.

The scrivener didn't even fart this time, and directly recorded this passage in the book.

Yang Ning thought to himself that this Mo Fu Yin is really iron-faced and selfless, this is good, Dou Lianzhong has not figured out the matter of the family heirloom, but he has lost his mouth again and again, and he has been caught by Mo Fu Yin with two handles, and these two handles are not to make trouble, if they are really seriously investigated, they can become big cases.

Dou Lianzhong wanted to distinguish a few words, but Zhao Wuxian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Under Zhao Wuxian, there is something to explain to the adults!" ”

Mo Fu Yin said: "What do you want to say?" ”

"The family heirloom that was broken was given to the old marquis by the first emperor." Zhao Wuxian said slowly: "Mo Fuyin, dare to ask, do you know the origin of the name of Jinyi Hou?" ”

Mo Fu Yin said: "When the first emperor conquered Pingkou, the old marquis of brocade clothes was a fierce general under the command of the first emperor, when the Jingnan thieves were pacified, the war was deadlocked, the logistics supply was unfavorable, the front line lacked food and clothing, and it dragged on until the winter, the climate was particularly cold that year, and many soldiers froze to death, and the first emperor has been sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, it is said that the first emperor was thinly dressed and fell ill on the front line. After a pause, he continued: "The old marquis of brocade wore all the clothes on his body on the first emperor at that time, and he was even naked in the mountains looking for medicinal materials for the first emperor. ”

"Exactly." Zhao Wuxian said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and later the first emperor gave the old marquis as the marquis of Jinyi, which is to miss the friendship between the monarch and the minister. ”

Mo Fu Yin arched his hand and said: "The old marquis is loyal and commendable, and he has always been a model for us to be courtiers. ”

"Then Lord Mo also knows that the first emperor fought in the south and the north back then, conquered the city and conquered the land, and was invincible." Zhao Wuxian's voice was calm: "Among them, there are many rare treasures, and the first emperor also rewarded these rare treasures to his heroes, not only the old marquis in brocade, but now the four major marquis mansions should all treasure the imperial treasures of the first emperor." ”

Mo Fu Yin bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

"The treasures that were given at that time were not recorded." Zhao Wuxian said slowly: "Can I think that if I can't find any records of treasures in the household department or Shang Baojian, then this glazed horse given by the first emperor is the old marquis in brocade clothes who came from the wrong way?" ”

Mo Fu Yin frowned and said, "You mean, the glazed horse was given by the old marquis when he followed the first emperor to fight?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Wushu said: "And when this treasure was rewarded back then, the old marquis of Wuxiang was also on the spot. ”

Dou Lianzhong's mouthful of old blood was almost spurting out.

The old marquis of Jinyi, the old marquis of Wuxiang, including the first emperor of Great Chu, these three have been dead for many years, is it difficult to pull these three people out of the grave to testify?

But at this moment, he didn't dare to speak easily, he had already made mistakes repeatedly, and he was afraid that if he spoke again, he would cause trouble.

Mo Fu Yin said: "Since it is a treasure rewarded by the first emperor, of course it is extremely valuable. Turning his gaze at Dou Lianzhong, he said solemnly: "Dou Lianzhong, the treasures given by the first emperor were destroyed by you, what else do you have to say?" ”

Dou Lianzhong opened his mouth and finally said, "They ..... How did they prove that it was given by the emperor? ”

"How can the name of the first emperor be used fraudulently?" Mo Fu Yin sneered: "If anyone uses the name of the first emperor to do evil and blaspheme the first emperor, he should be punished." ”

Dou Lianzhong shuddered, bowed his head and said, "That..... So what should I do? He is really afraid that Mo Tie will lose the glass horse now, but he will investigate what he said just now, if that is the case, it will be much more troublesome than the glass horse.

"Qi Ning, the glazed horse has been smashed, and it is impossible to restore it." Mo Fu Yin said in a deep voice: "How are you going to let Dou Lianzhong compensate?" ”

"Back to the words of adults, the glazed horse is the heirloom of my Jinyi Marquis Mansion, this is not the most important, the most important thing is the imperial gift of the first emperor, the first emperor gave it, of course, it is a priceless treasure." Yang Ning said respectfully: "I don't dare to ask for gold and silver compensation to desecrate the treasures given by the first emperor, and my grandmother doesn't know about this matter yet, so I have to show my grandmother before I can decide how to deal with the compensation." I hope that Master Mo will call the shots and let Dou Lianzhong make an arrears first! ”

"Bills?"

"Exactly." Yang Ning said: "If you want Dou Lianzhong to admit that he smashed my family's heirloom, as long as he can prove this matter under the supervision of Lord Mo, it will be much easier to deal with things in the future." ”

Mo Fuyin thought for a while before he said, "Dou Lianzhong, Qi Ning wants you to make a debt, what do you mean?" His expression was cold, and his eyes were fixed on Dou Lianzhong.
