Listening to Meng Jiucheng's words, there was a turning point and help to solve the problem, Chen Hongye hurriedly said: "If you can break this cunning thief's accusation and save the bride from becoming an official, the Chen family is willing to repay and compensate for the previous mistakes." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info this, the righteous loss of 100 stone rice grain, the ticket is paid in full, and the government monthly settlement is also available. In addition, I would like to thank Mon Abshi. ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly in embarrassment, he had already thought of a solution, but he was not sure, and asked again: "That thief lay on the bed for a day and a night, have you ever seen the face of the bride?" ”

Chen Hongye thought for a while and said: "It's only a foot under the bed, and there is a curtain to cover it, so it must be unreal." ”

Meng Jiucheng got up helplessly and said, "If it is really as Brother Chen said, I will go to the county magistrate to talk about it, and I want to solve this cunning thief." But if your Chen family makes a false accusation—"

"There is no such thing as false accusations, please rest assured." Chen Hongye almost patted his chest to ensure it.

"Then the matter of the Chen family's service, if I talk to the county magistrate—"

"There is no remorse, but now I will make a note."

Meng Jiucheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the county government now, whether it succeeds or not, you don't have to blame me." ”

"But if you ask Meng Absian to do the right thing, what will be the result-" Chen Hongye sighed helplessly, "I have to resign myself to fate." ”

……………

When Meng Jiucheng returned to the yamen in the city, he also called Ni Yahui, the undertaker.

Ni Yahui is diligent and cautious, and his brain is also smart, but he has suffered the loss of no culture, and he can't handle all kinds of cases. Although he is a close confidant of Jia She, he cannot serve as a clerk in terms of rank, and can only be a soap servant. Recently, Ni Yahui has inherited Jia She's explanation, assisting Meng Jiucheng in his work while playing the role of supervising and inspecting.

Meng Jiucheng handled the resettlement of displaced people, building cities and consolidating borders and other affairs in an orderly manner, and was not corrupt, Ni Yahui continued to report to Jia She, but also saw that Jia Shi was more and more fond of Meng Jiucheng, he had a bright future and was bound to surpass himself.

In addition, Meng Jiu has become a humble person, although he is a priest, but he is polite to him everywhere, and there is no arrogance, Ni Yahui is also willing to deliberately make friends and have one more Austrian aid in the yamen.

Therefore, Meng Jiucheng told him about the matter, and analyzed it to the head, and Ni Yahui was also willing to help. What's more, if things are done, then the Chen family is indispensable.

Meng Jiucheng asked the Chen brothers to wait outside the ya, and he and Ni Yahui went to the yaya to talk to Jia She.

Jia Shi listened to Meng Jiucheng's story, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "If this official takes into account the bride's name, there will be a suspicion of not carefully adjudicating the case and wronging the beloved. Well, although the official is also angry that the Chen family is mercenary, it is not a revenge. ”

"There is nothing improper in handling the law." Meng Jiucheng first expressed Jia She's correctness, and then said: "Then the Chen family values profit over righteousness, and it should be difficult." However, he felt that if there was a way to do both, not only would he take into account the bride's name, but also interrogate the case clearly, and let the Chen family repay the compensation, it would not be a good practice. ”

"You're all three." Jia Shi laughed and said, "I'm afraid there is still a lack of good things that the Chen family thanked you for, right?" ”

Meng Jiucheng's face did not change, and replied: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. If you can solve the trouble of the Chen family, and you don't bend the law, the Chen family will be grateful, and I feel that I can accept it. ”

"You're telling the truth." Jia Shi didn't seem to blame.

"I also feel that it is very beneficial to subdue the Chen family by taking advantage of this." Ni Yahui said on the side: "The payment will be postponed for one month, and the grain in the official warehouse will be able to support it for a long time." ”

Jia Shi bowed slightly, and agreed with this, I don't know when the money and grain pulled out by the imperial court will arrive, and it is always good to have more time and leeway. Moreover, forcing the bride to go to court is also suspected of ignoring the woman's name and forcibly enforcing the law. In case the bride can't think of it, it will also have an impact on Jia She's reputation.

"Meng Absei, you can tell me the solution, and the official will make a decision." Jia Shi had already made up his mind and asked.

"Respectful Xianggong, I listened carefully to the description of the Chen family, and felt that if that person was a thief, he would hide under the bed......" Meng Jiucheng respectfully said his thoughts and judgments, and stated the solution.

"Okay." After listening to this, Jia Shi praised first, and also admired Meng Jiucheng's mental change, such a way to get the best of all three is really clever.

"Xianggong agreed?" Meng Jiucheng looked at Jia Shi tentatively.

Jia Shewan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead, just arrange it according to your method, and the official will wait here to raise the case to the court." ”

Meng Jiucheng took the order, walked out of the house with Ni Yahui, and arched his hand: "Brother Ni, please work hard and lead the Chen family to the Qinglou." ”

"You're welcome." Ni Yahui laughed and said, "Don't worry, according to Brother Meng's explanation, a certain family must have done a good job in this matter." ”

"There is labor, there is labor." Meng Jiucheng gave up again, sent Ni Yahui away, and went back to see Jia She, and reported his work by the way.

Although all the work is going smoothly, this situation cannot be maintained for a long time if only money and food are not solved.

"According to the current situation, money and food can only last for more than 40 days." Jia Shi stroked his beard and said worriedly: "This official hopes that the imperial court can transfer the money and grain as soon as possible, but there must also be other ways to save the emergency, so that he can feel at ease." ”

Meng Jiucheng thought for a while and said: "In more than a month, the militia group in Xincun must be able to have some appearance, if it can catch thieves and thieves, then the fields and money that have not entered the official must be able to save the emergency." ”

Jia She's eyes flashed, and he said uncertainly: "Meng Aisi is quite confident in this, you must know that there are many thieves and thieves, and they are all outlaws, not to be underestimated. If you can't get rid of evil, you will cause chaos, but the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded yes, but he no longer boasted, although he had a plan in his heart, the time was obviously not ripe yet.

The two discussed other matters, and Meng Jiucheng also took a day off from Jia She, saying that he was cleaning up the house he had just bought.

Hearing that Meng Jiucheng bought the unclean mansion, Jia Shi was a little surprised, and kindly persuaded: "The official of that mansion has also heard about it, and it is also involved in an unknown murder a long time ago. Although it is very cheap, you should be careful when moving in. It's better to find some monks and Taoists, draw some charms, make a dojo, and live again when it is clean. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Meng Jiucheng thanked him and explained: "According to the instructions of the prime minister, the lowly post will postpone the move-in. ”

Seeing Meng Jiucheng's persuasion, Jia Shi felt comfortable in his heart, and praised Meng Jiucheng's work again.

At this time, Ni Yahui came back to report that the matter had been arranged and he could be promoted to the court to ask about the case.
