Chapter 0140 Returning the other body in the way of others
After listening to Wang Laohu's defense, Luo Yunxiao suddenly said with a smile: "Haha......!" Wang Laohu, what you said is really ridiculous. I can't guarantee whether he will change his hexagram, but I dare promise that you will definitely change his hexagram! Don't you believe it? Well, let's just wait and see! ”
After listening to what Luo Yunxiao said, Wang Laohu suddenly smiled. The other party dared to say that he Wang Tiger would change his hexagram. Ha ha! Isn't this a joke that the heavens and the world are breaking the heavens?
So, he smiled and said, "This friend on the road, are you kidding me?" You said that you can guarantee that I will change my hexagram, but you still say it so justifiably, where does your confidence come from? Oops! It's so funny to say that I can change my hexagram! Hahahaha......! ”
Luo Yunxiao was not in a hurry, let alone annoyed, he just smiled slightly, and then continued: "I don't know if you have heard a common saying, you are not loud when you call it reasonable." You have to understand a truth, that is, there is justice in the merits. Hehe! We might as well wait a little while, and you'll find out in a moment who is more ridiculous. Hehe...! ”
Wang Laohu listened to him speak so calmly, so lightly, he was really a little unpredictable. At this moment, his heart began to start a void, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "I have never met these people, and I have never dealt with them, so I will not have any tricks in their hands!" But looking at him so calm and relaxed, how can I feel more and more that something is not quite right? ”
Just when Luo Yunxiao's expression was calm and natural, but Wang Laohu was restless, a group of people came in from outside. Seeing this group of people, Wang Laohu knew everything, and they were all officials in Heshui Town. There are Qiangfu, Youyou, Rank, Lizheng, Pavilion Chief, and there are more than a dozen people in general.
Here's a little bit of an explanation. Qiang Fu is equivalent to a modern township cadre; As you have said before, it is equivalent to the director of the police station; Youzhi is the tax collector of the township; Lizheng, as the name suggests, is the length of a mile, mainly responsible for investigating household registration, taxing agricultural mulberry, inspecting illegality, urging taxes and other trivial matters; The pavilion chief, that is, the current clerk in the township, is specially running errands for the township chief, and before Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, raised the matter, it seemed to be the role of a pavilion chief.
In fact, these town officials, township officials, and village officials were all invited by Luo Yunxiao to watch the play and testify. 500 taels of silver for each of the town officials; 400 taels of silver for each of the township officials; The village officials were each given 300 taels of silver. These people get the money and get the benefits, of course they will rush over. Besides, that Wang Laohu usually doesn't do a very good job in the world, and they are desperate to see him make a fool of himself!
Luo Yunxiao saw that all the people invited were in place, so he said with a smile: "You adults can come to be witnesses in your busy schedule, Luo feels fortunate to have three lives." Now, please go to Wang Laohu's house together. After arriving at his house, Luo can guarantee that everything will be revealed. ”
The big and small officials of Heshui Town have already taken the benefits of others, and they have a good show to watch, so why not do it! Therefore, he naturally followed Luo Yunxiao in a hurry.
Under the strict care of Luo Yunxiao and his subordinates, Wang Laohu could only obediently follow them back to his mansion. Entering the gate of the mansion, there were already many people standing in the courtyard of his house, in addition to the presence of more than a dozen relatives of his own family, the county lieutenant of Ximang County with more than 20 soldiers was actually sitting there. also put on an official appearance that was not angry and self-assured. In addition, there was a stout man standing beside him.
Of course, the county lieutenant was also invited by Luo Yunxiao from Ximang County for 2,000 taels of silver. That sturdy man is none other than Deng Tianfeng, the master of the Sun and Moon Hall. He was specially invited by Luo Yunxiao to act from Ximang County. As long as it is someone who Wang Laohu has not seen, he can perform the play more excitingly and more in place.
Seeing such a formation, Wang Laohu was completely dumbfounded, and he had a hunch that he was likely to encounter something unlucky today. Not to mention, his hunch was indeed accurate, and in a few moments, his hunch would become a reality.
Luo Yunxiao walked in front of the county lieutenant and said respectfully: "This lord, I am a businessman passing by here, because I am not familiar with the place. I didn't send a salute to this self-proclaimed lord of Heshui Town in time, so he sent someone to steal three hundred ......taels of gold from the post station where I was sleeping while I was asleep."
Before Luo Yunxiao could finish speaking, Wang Laohu glared at him and shouted angrily: "You. . . You. You are just nonsense! Why do you say that I sent men to steal your gold? You have to show the evidence, or you will be accused of false accusations. ”
Luo Yunxiao just glanced at him lightly, and continued unhurriedly: "Brother Deng, Brother Zhu, Jiayun, the three of you will lead a few adults to his house to find out, we will only wait until we get the evidence, and then we will tell the facts and reason." ”
Previously, Zhu Muxia, the master of the Spring and Autumn Hall, had been secretly monitoring Wang Laohu's every move in his house with 20 government soldiers according to Luo Yunxiao's request, and they saw him hiding the gold in a dark compartment on a wall. At this time, due to Zhu Muxia's involvement, the search for gold became quite smooth.
Deng Tianfeng and they led the village officials such as Qiangfu, You, Youzhi, Lizheng, and Pavilion Chief in Heshui Town into Wang Laohu's inner room, and after a while, everyone came out of the house carrying a wooden box, and when they opened the wooden box, everyone was stunned, of course, all the people who didn't know were stunned. Those who knew the matter also pretended to be stunned, in order to make this scene more realistic, in place, and reasonable.
I saw that the box was full of orange and shining gold ingots of ten taels and one ingots.
Wang Laohu saw that the gold ingots he had just gotten in his hands had not yet been covered and had been exposed in front of everyone, and he was a little angry: "These gold were given to me by two people who are going to do business here!" I never stole it. ”
There are some things that you may even get away with if you don't rush to explain them. However, if you deliberately explain it, the more you explain it, the more unclear it becomes, and even the things will become darker and darker, so black that you can drown out your whole person.
After this Wang Laohu explained, everyone looked at him with an expression of disbelief. Three hundred taels of gold, so much gold can be used to bribe the county governor or county lieutenant in a state and county, with his small township level three elders, who would use so much gold to give him as a salute? Unless those two people are nervous.
