The lawsuit itself appears to be just an ordinary debt dispute, and it is based on the borrower's failure to repay the money. Nowadays, even debt deeds can be falsified. Gao Fu was a little angry, if this kind of lawsuit itself didn't involve the prefect, he wouldn't even have the mind to go to court to ask about the case.

The steward of Siming Money Village came over, Gao Fu showed the contract to others, and the steward replied after a while: "My lord, this contract was not issued by Siming Money Bank."

"Have you taken a closer look?"

"The villain has taken a closer look, Siming Money Village has never given people a guarantee, unless it is an old customer of Qian Zhuang. Therefore, the villain can be sure that this contract has nothing to do with Siming Bank. ”

"In that case, do you know this man in the hall?"

"Back to the adult, the villain doesn't recognize it."

"Chen Ji once said that he had a loan in your bank, but is there anything wrong?"

"It does." The steward continued, "However, this loan has been settled, and now the transactions between Qian Zhuang and Chen Gongzi are all in the name of Chen Ji Firm, not personal transactions." ”

Gao Fu looked at Dong Wu, "Can you hear clearly?" ”

"The villain hears me clearly."

"In this case, you still say that this IOU was issued by Chen Ji?"

Dong Wudao: "My lord, it is indeed the villain's IOU given by Chen Ji of the Songxi Chen family, the villain is not deceiving, but the villain suddenly Chen Gongzi is not Chen Gongzi for some reason."

Gao Fu frowned, "In that case, do you have any other evidence?" ”

"My lord, Chen Hua of the Songxi Chen family can testify."

"Su Dian History, you will pass on Chen Hua."

Su Dianshi went out in response.

"Is there any other evidence?"

Dong Wu shook his head.

Gao Fu said, "Chen Hua has not arrived, he will rest for half an hour, and take the plaintiff and the defendant down, strictly guard, and are not allowed to meet with people." ”

Shocked by the wood, Gao Fu left the table.

Later, Gao Fu sat in the Taishi chair, took a sip of tea, and pulled out the parting again.

After the plaintiff Dong Wu stated the fact of the loan, he hoped that the government would make the decision to make Chen Ji repay the money, and if he was unwilling to repay the money, he would repay it with the salt farm mortgaged by the IOU.

Gao Fu rubbed his temples, the incident happened last year, that is, Chen Ji was not in Dengzhou at that time, and since Chen Ji was able to borrow so much money from Siming Bank, how could he borrow money from a guy like Dong Wu who gave private loans? Moreover, the Songxi Chen family is not as good as the top gentry, and it has also developed well over the years, and Chen Ji is from a long house, so he will not be able to repay these thousands of taels of silver.

Gao Fu only felt a headache.

It's just an ordinary lawsuit, and somehow it's twisted and turned.

Half an hour later, Chen Hua brought it and re-ascended to the church.

Gao Fu got straight to the point and asked Chen Huadao, "Do you recognize the two people in the hall?"

"The little people know it."

"What is your relationship with them?"

"Xiaomin and Chen Ji are both members of the Songxi Chen family and cousins of Brother Ji. This Dong Wu, Xiaomin has seen it a few times in Penglai Chen's shop. ”

"Do you recognize this IOU?"

After Chen Hua saw it, "Xiaomin doesn't recognize it." ”

Dong Wu immediately panicked, "Chen Hua, how can you say that you don't recognize it." My lord, he is lying. ”

Chen Hua's face did not change, "My lord, Xiaomin and Dong Wu are not very familiar with each other because of some business contacts.

"Chen Hua, this is obviously your ......"

“……”

Chen Ji shrank back, as if he was watching a joke.

Chen Hua also knew it, and now he lives in his house, and the previous one, represented by the seventh uncle, also came to him to cry. Now it seems that he has made some small movements behind his back. As for this silver, you might as well make a bold guess, I'm afraid it is their handiwork. After all, he was not in Penglai at the time, and it was also a good choice to use his identity to do something unruly. Anyway, he is in Qingzhou, so he doesn't know, and if he knows, he may not come back.

Gao Fu slapped the shocked wood and scolded: "Hugh has to roar in the court."

"Dong Wu, if you have no other evidence, there is no need to try this case."

Dong Wu's anger is hard to dispel, where is there any other evidence. You can't pull out the main family behind it, and it won't be such a trivial matter when the time comes.

Gao Fu immediately announced the verdict.

Chen Ji can be regarded as causing an unwarranted disaster.

On the way back, Chen Ji walked with Chen Hua for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky."

Chen Hua nodded, "There's still something to do at the shop, I'll go over first." ”

Chen Ji bowed his head, remembering that he was talking about the person who went to Songxi's house to shout.

Chen Ji was helpless, engaging in these small actions didn't seem like asking him for trouble.

Putting aside these things for the time being, Chen Ji went home, said hello to the old lady, and met Chen Wenxuan again.

After more than a year of cultivation, Chen Wenxuan has recovered a lot, at least she is no different from a girl who has not left the cabinet, of course, she is only twenty-one years old, and she is only the age when she should fall in love, and it is really early to get married.

After asking about the county government, Chen Wenxuan didn't say anything, of course, the main thing was that Chen Ji pulled the topic in a big circle, and the girl's family was shy and staggered these things.

In the evening, Chen Xiujie went down, and the father and son got together and resumed the plate.

"Songxi three rooms, the long room is the thinnest, these years are just falling into the identity of a patriarch, if you want to talk about the affairs of the clan, most of them are still in charge of the second room and three rooms." Chen Xiujie paused and said, "Over the years, I have been in Qingzhou, and everything here has been left behind, your uncle has been very difficult, if the clan still has so much scruple about my original official body, I am afraid that I would have already taken it all." Now that I'm an official in Tenglai Mansion, they probably want to show some kindness. But this incident may also be a small means for them to see my reaction. Borrowing your name is not a big deal. As for that Dong Wu, he may really be just an ordinary lender in the Dong family. ”

When Chen Ji heard this, he wondered, "I don't think there's a need to do that, right?" Some things are indeed our family's, but since they are in possession now, why bother to use those behind-the-scenes means to talk to us directly, so that we are within the five suits, and we will not be really ruthless to the point where the six relatives don't recognize it, right? ”

Chen Xiujie sighed: "It is precisely because of this meaning that they dare to take it without telling them."

Chen Ji sighed, "In this way, this relative is really a troublesome thing." ”

Chen Xiujie bowed his head, "Jokhang rules the world with filial piety, at least on the scene, there are some things that can't be done." ”

Chen Ji laughed: "That's your official business, I don't seem to care about this." Now that they've made a move, I can't just be beaten. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's not talk about the old house and the salt farm, after all, there is a lot involved. The dozens of acres of land in our family, except for a part of the part you took out to support the family, the rest can still be occupied by them, and if they don't give rent all these years, they don't care about the servitude they are exempted from under their father's name, but my mother's original dowry is not justified by them to continue to occupy it. ”

Chen Xiujie stared, "This is the big head." ”

"Since you want to move, I'll go and invite those clan elders tomorrow, and then I should go and worship my ancestors."

Chen Xiujie paused: "If you really want to do it, you should also talk to your uncle, don't make it difficult for him."

"Hmm."

The night was getting deeper, and it seemed that there was a spring thunder smashing over.
