Chapter 43: Buying Murder

Ma Wei walked out from behind the yacha and was about to pull Song Wenjian, when Song Wenjian retreated and shouted: "Mo Weibao, I want to ask you, if Lord Chen Huatao supervises your township, what is the interest on the money and grain you lend to the peasant households?" Or is it still a double five? ”

This is something that Song Wenjian has always been unable to understand, if he hadn't said that he would be able to repay Mo Weibao's interest of one and five times in half a year, Mo Weibao would not hesitate to agree.

Could it be that after Mo Weibao cooperated with Chen Huatao, was he really so generous?

When Mo Weibao heard Song Wenjian's question, his face changed.

He and Chen Huatao had already discussed, and after Chen Huatao supervised Yangqing Township, they coaxed the villagers to sign a three-fold loan.

If the villagers can't pay the money, they can get the land that the villagers rely on for their survival, which is a lucrative business.

Mo Weibao thought about this kind of thing, and he could only tell the villagers secretly after Chen Huatao supervised Yangqing Township. I didn't expect Song Wenjian to ask now, how could he answer truthfully?

"Well, we'll talk about that later." Mo Weibao is very authentic.

Chen Huatao also said: "Second fool, don't make trouble in the court." If I supervise Yangqing Township, I will definitely be able to collect the tax and grain as scheduled. ”

Li Rujun also secretly bowed his head, no matter what method his subordinates used, he used three times or five times the interest, as long as he could complete the task of collecting taxes and grain. Otherwise, his position would not be secure.

Song Wenjian saw Chen Huatao and Mo Weibao's reaction, and knew that they wanted to deceive the villagers first, and then ask the villagers to sign a three-fold interest contract after Chen Huatao supervised them.

Thinking of this, Song Wenjian continued to shout: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be deceived by others, you ask Lord Chen Huatao to supervise you, and then you will sign more than three times the tax grain, are you willing?" ”

"We won't." Dai Wang shouted. "Mo Weibao, you make it clear to us in front of the county magistrate, if you let Lord Chen Huatao supervise us, will you sign a contract with us for one double and five interest?"

Mo Weibao's face immediately became bitter like a bitter melon, one times five your sister, if I sign such a contract, I will die.

Seeing that Mo Weibao didn't answer, the other lieutenants also shouted. "Yes, Lord Chen Huatao, Township Chief Mo Weibao, you tell us clearly, did you sign a contract with us for one double and five interest?"

They also understood that Chen Huatao and Mo Weibao used them as gunmen, and they would definitely not lend them money at one and a half times the interest in the future, so they couldn't be fooled.

Chen Huatao was speechless, now it is the time of the yamen, all the officials of the yamen in Suixi County are here, does he dare to lie?

If it is a five-fold interest, they will not make any money at all, and they may have to lose money.

He supervised Yangqing Township, and he looked at the fields in the hands of the villagers. If they can't afford to pay back next year, those fields will be theirs, and they don't know how much money they will make.

Thinking that he had to pay 90,000 stone in taxes and grain, Chen Huatao's heart was dripping blood.

Wu Guanhai saw that Ma Wei still wanted to come over and arrest Song Wenjian, so he stepped forward and punched Ma Wei back. "Ma Wei, the county magistrate didn't speak, you actually listened to Chen Huatao's words? It seems that in your eyes, the county magistrate is not as big as the canon? ”

"No, it's not." When Ma Wei heard Wu Guanhai's heart-wrenching words, he was so frightened that he shook his head desperately.

If Li Rujun feels that he only listens to Chen Huatao, then he will also sit in this position.

Li Rujun listened to Wu Guanhai's words, and scolded angrily: "Ma Wei, I didn't tell you to do it. ”

"My lord, it's a mistake to be humble." Ma Wei hurriedly knelt down to Li Rujun to admit his mistake.

Song Wenjian asked the lieutenant chiefs: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still support Lord Chen Huatao to supervise you?" ”

"If it's a five-fold interest, we support it, and if it's a triple-fold interest, we won't support it." The lieutenants kowtowed to Li Rujun and cried. "Lord County, we are very bitter, you can save us."

Chen Huatao stared at Song Wenjian hatefully, damn, who said that Song Wenjian was a second fool, stand up for me, I promise not to kill him.

I don't know how witty Song Wenjian said just now.

Seeing that they were about to succeed, they didn't expect to be defeated by Song Wenjian, a general.

Song Wenjian knew that if Mo Weibao was not brought down today, there would be no way to complete the task of Yangqing Township.

So, he glanced at Wu Guanhai, and Wu Guanhai stepped forward knowingly and said: "Lord County Order, I still want to sue Mo Weibao for murder, the villain was almost killed by the gangster last night." ”

"Wronged, Lord County Commander, I didn't buy murder." Mo Weibao screamed in fear.

This is a big crime to buy a murder official errand and cut off the head.

Chen Huatao was strange, obviously he bought the murder, why did Wu Guanhai say that it was Mo Weibao? Besides, Mo Weibao didn't know about the attack on Wu Guanhai and others on the road.

Song Wenjian sneered and said, "Mo Weibao, of course you won't admit it." But those gangsters said that you instructed them, and we went to Yangqing Township last night to find you and ask you why you refused to sign the contract, and why did you take away the contract signed by Dai Wang? ”

"You hold a grudge, so you colluded with the Luogang bandits to harm us, if it weren't for Wu Guanhai's strong martial arts, we would have been killed by you early in the morning." Song Wenjian secretly glanced at Lao Zhuang and Zheng Sike again.

Hmph, you Chen Huatao will play conspiracy, won't I? Song Wenjian secretly smiled proudly in his heart.

When he didn't go to court just now, Song Wenjian had already discussed with Wu Guanhai, Lao Zhuang and Zheng Sike and asked them to act according to the plan.

"Yes, my lord, you must be the master for us. Those gangsters said that they were from Luogang Mountain, and it was Mo Weibao who paid them to kill us. Zheng Sike's acting skills are good, as he spoke, he shook his tears and snot, and his sad look was like the death of ten or eight beautiful wives and concubines.

"Even you know that those gangsters are from Luogang Mountain?" Li Rujun's face became serious.

You must know that the results of the interrogation of the third watch of the iron knife last night were just reported to him, and the news was not announced.

But Li Rujun didn't expect that in order to get more information from the yamen, Song Wenjian usually spent money to let Zheng Sike and the yamen eat and drink, and the relationship was very good.

This morning, Zheng Sike had secretly asked a messenger who participated in the interrogation last night, so he secretly learned the news.

Song Wenjian simply calculated and put the blame on Mo Weibao.

He also knew that Chen Huatao was in Suixi County, and there were still people above him to support him, and if there was no conclusive evidence, he would not be able to bite Chen Huatao. But if you bite a little township chief like Mo Weibao, it should have a little effect.

Seeing Li Rujun staring at him, Mo Weibao couldn't care about any talent and fame anymore, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, I didn't buy a murder officer." ”

"Hey, hey, no wonder every time the officers and soldiers encircle and suppress Luogang Mountain, they return in vain, it turns out that you Mo Weibao reported the news." Song Wenjian continued to focus on the medicine.
