"Hmm." The transport envoy nodded, and asked again: "Wang Donglai, can someone prove that at the same time that the three of you went to Hongyan Tower, Lord Ouyang and Liu Yong also went to Hongyan Tower?" ”

"Yes, it's the boss of Hongyan Tower." Wang Dong said.

"Biography." The transporter said.

Liu Yong and Ouyang Song looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts: It seems that they have really worked hard to confirm this evidence.

Ouyang Song also smiled, and the two of them didn't seem surprised by this.

The owner of Nahong Yanlou came in and knelt in front of the hall and reported his name.

The transfer envoy asked, "One day four months ago, did you remember that at the same time that these three people went to your restaurant to eat, Lord Ouyang and Liu Yong also went to your restaurant to eat?" ”

The boss of Hongyan Tower looked at Wang Donglai and the three of them, and Wang Donglai smiled at him. He looked at Ouyang Song and Liu Yong again. Then he said: "Back to the adult, the villain didn't remember such a thing." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Donglai and the three of them were surprised, and they all looked at the boss of Hongyan Tower with wide puzzled eyes. Guo Dequan was also surprised. What the hell is going on? Isn't it all agreed? Ma Shifan, what did you do? There was a fog in his head, countless question marks.

I heard the boss of Nahong Yanlou say: "My lord, Lord Zhizhou doesn't often go to the villain to eat and drink, and this Liu Yongguan has only been there once in the villain's impression, and the time was one day four months ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Donglai and Guo Dequan relieved their hearts again. But their hearts hung in the air with the boss's next words.

"The villain remembers it clearly, and there are also Master Zhang of the capital prison and Ma Shifan of Ma Ji Sauce Shop inside. Liu Daguan went to the villain's restaurant once, and the other villains didn't know anything. ”

After the boss of Nahong Yanlou finished speaking, Wang Donglaisan and Guo Dequan were like five thunderbolts.

The transporter laughed.

"So, didn't you see several of them going to your restaurant at the same time?" He asked the owner of Hongyan Tower again.

"Yes, adults, villains are in the restaurant every day, not to mention big people like them, even if they are ordinary drinkers, villains have to take care of them. For the sake of business, the villain has to have a good relationship with all the guest officers who come to the restaurant. The boss added.

"Well, Wang Donglai, what else do you three have to say?" The transporter asked.

This sudden change caught Wang Donglai and others and Guo Dequan off guard. These are all arranged by Ma Shifan, and they also know that Ma Shifan has a very good relationship with the boss of this Hongyan Tower, and then Guo Dequan will come out to suppress the formation, thinking that it is impossible for the boss not to cooperate. And Ma Shifan also informed them that the owner of Hongyan Building was willing to testify.

But now?

The three of them were speechless for a moment.

At this time, the boss of Hongyan Building said again: "The reason why the lord and the villain were asked to come to testify was all arranged by Ma Shifan of Ma Ji Sauce Workshop. It was he and Guo Dequan who gave the villain a lot of benefits. Let the villain come and commit perjury. Later, the villain knew that the result of perjury was either to harm others or himself, so the villain changed his mind and told the truth. ”

These few sentences are equivalent to pronouncing the death sentence of Wang Donglai and the others. Since the boss of his Hongyan Building came here to commit perjury, the three of them must have also come to commit perjury.

"Master Guo, what else do you have to say?" The transporter asked.

"Lord Hui, the lower officials don't know anything about this. This was all said by Ma Shifan and Xia Guan, saying that Lord Zhizhou and Liu Yong conspired to embezzle the money of the imperial court. It was also said that there were witnesses. The lower officials believed it. I didn't expect ...... Ay! My lord, it seems that the lower officials are also victims! At the critical moment, Guo Dequan immediately wiped himself out.

"Then just now the boss of Hongyan Tower said that you went to him with that person named Ma Shifan, how do you explain?" The transporter asked.

"This ...... Oh, that's right, that day Ma Shifan said that the boss of Hongyan Tower could testify, so I wanted to ask. Because after all, this involves Lord Ouyang Song, the governor of a state, but it is not a joke, if it is true, it will implicate the Governor Zhang and Zhao Tongju. The stakes are high, so the lower officials have to be cautious. So Jue followed Ma Shifan. Guo Dequan said, and deliberately glanced at the boss of Hongyan Building.

The owner of Hongyan Building was calm and unmoved.

"Boss Hongyan Building, is that so?" The transporter asked.

"Back to my lord, please ask your lord to pass on Ma Shifan to ask about this matter." The owner of Hongyan Building said.

The transport envoy nodded, and instructed the two officials to say, "Go and invite Ma Shifan." ”

"Yes."

……

Today is a critical day for Ma Shifan, and whether he can defeat Liu Yong is today. At this time, he and his son Ma Qian were waiting for the good news from Meizhou City in their flower hall.

Seeing Ma Shifan with an anxious face, Ma Gan said: "Father, there are many witnesses to this matter, I'm afraid it's foolproof!" ”

"Well, it should be foolproof." Ma Shifan said.

"And what else is my father worried about?" Ma Qian asked.

Ma Shifan frowned, and said leisurely: "But for some reason, being a father always feels a little flustered. ”

"Father, don't panic. Isn't there still Guo Dequan? Ma Qian said.

"He, I'm afraid he has already figured out a plan to get out." Ma Shifan said.

"Father, what does this mean? Isn't my father sure? Ma Gan asked, muttering in his heart.

Ma Shifan shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "It stands to reason that it won't, there are witnesses, and the transaction price of their war horses is indeed high." I don't think the transfer will fail to look at the evidence. ”

"Then don't worry, father, just wait for the good news." In order to relieve his nervousness, Ma Gan deliberately smiled at Ma Shifan.

Ma Shifan nodded, sat down a little relieved, picked up the tea bowl, and was just about to drink it, when a servant broke in and said, "There are two officials outside who ask to see you." ”

Ma Shifan's heart was shocked, the tea bowl in his hand was almost out of his hand, and he quickly put it down and asked, "Do you know why they came?" ”

"Didn't say." The servant replied.

Ma Shifan looked at his son Ma Qian with some panic.

Ma Gan was also a little nervous, but he was sure that what his father did must be foolproof, thinking that the two officials had come to report the good news.

Then he said, "Father, please come in and ask." ”

"What if it ......" Ma Shifan hesitated.

"Father, the child thinks it may have been sent by Master Guo to report the news." Ma Qian said.

When Ma Shifan heard this, he patted his head and suddenly said: "By the way, it should be Guo Dequan who sent to report the news." Then please come in. ”

"Yes."

The servant turned and went away, and called the two messengers.

"I don't know if the two officials are here, and I hope you will forgive me." When Ma Shifan saw the official errand, he immediately pretended to smile and be polite.

"You're Ma Shifan?" An officer asked.

"Eh, it's the villain." Ma Shifan replied respectfully.

"Then please come with us."
