Chapter 0173 - Good
Lu Fei's mind seemed to be all focused on this silver ticket, looking at it over and over, and did not answer Steward Hu's words, the two didn't seem to be saying the same thing, "It's good, it's good, uh, old Hu, how can this thing be exchanged for silver?" ”
"What?" Steward Hu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again and again, "All the Taifeng silver numbers in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, you can redeem the tickets when you see them."
"Oh, that's good, that's good" Lu Fei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Steward Hu saw that something seemed to be wrong, why didn't this kid say a useful word, and he didn't show a stance on this matter, so he reminded, "Master Lu, do you think this matter is over?" ”
Lu Fei pretended to be confused, and while continuing to admire the silver ticket, he asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about?" ”
"You?" Steward Hu felt that he had been tricked, so he stood up and said angrily, "Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Fei glanced at Steward Hu, smiled and walked towards the stacked book, he wanted to find a place to put away the silver ticket, where to put it, this piece of paper is much more valuable than the picture of the child Wang Batu, this look at that, it feels unsatisfactory Susong County is not very good.
Steward Hu was a little angry, followed over, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Master Hu, don't be angry" Lu Fei was flipping through the books on the book grid, and happened to turn to a book of Analects, picked it up and flipped it in front of Steward Hu, "Zi said: It's a big injury."
Steward Hu twisted his face, pointed at the tip of Lu Fei's nose, and shouted at the ear of his throat, "Lord Lu, do you want to turn your face and deny it?" ”
At this time, a noisy footstep sounded outside the study, and Heizi walked in with Zhao Junma and Wang Xiancheng pushing the door.
Wu Fei held a silver ticket in one hand and a book of Analects in the other, smiling all over his face, while Steward Hu blushed, pointed to the tip of Lu Fei's nose, and looked at him angrily.
"I heard you arguing from afar, why don't you admit it? Steward Hu, don't be unreasonable to the county magistrate" Zhao Junma saw this kind of scene as soon as he entered the door, he didn't know about Steward Hu at all, let alone that this Hu steward secretly colluded with Wang County to collect taxes and silver, and privately divided the tax silver, and borrowed the case to collect money to get nearly 80,000 taels of stolen money.
Of course, Steward Hu didn't dare to let the young master know that he and Wang Xiancheng were committing adultery, greedy for money, maybe the young master turned a blind eye to the service of the Zhao family for several generations, and he didn't care about it, but this violated the law of the country, and it would definitely not tolerate him if it endangered the status of the Zhao family.
Zhao Jun Ma came suddenly, Steward Hu was in a hurry, he opened his mouth, didn't know how to deal with it, and was stunned in place.
Lu Fei's brain was spinning fast, a flash of inspiration flashed in front of him, and he laughed hehe, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm joking with Steward Hu, you see that you also shocked your county master, it's really damned!" ”
Lu Fei waved the silver ticket and the Analects in his hand as he spoke, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Just for such a book, forget it, for the sake of the county master's face, I will give it to you" explained and stuffed the Analects into Steward Hu's arms.
"You!" Steward Hu was still in a daze holding the Analects, and he hadn't understood what had happened before.
"What's going on?" Zhao Junma walked up to the two of them.
Lu Fei shook the silver ticket in his hand, sighed, and said very regretfully, "Master Junma, this is also to see your face, just now Steward Hu's eyes lit up when he saw this Analects, and he couldn't put it down, and he wanted to buy it for 10,000 taels of silver on the spot, I didn't want to, he was in a hurry, you see this matter is making trouble."
At this time, Steward Hu came back to his senses, and his feelings were that he bought this book of Analects that can be seen everywhere for ten thousand taels of silver, but he was afraid that Lord Lu would shake out the truth, so he didn't dare to attack.
Although Zhao Junma is usually empty-eyed and doesn't take anyone in his eyes, he also has a good face, so he said with a sinking face, "Steward Hu, a gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, how can the beloved things be bought and sold with silver taels."
As soon as Steward Hu heard this, he hurriedly swallowed the old blood that rushed to his throat, and he wanted to follow the young master's words and say that it would not be good to take away people's favor.
But Lu Fei answered faster, "No, no, since Steward Hu loves him so much, I have no choice but to cut my love, Master Junma, I will accept this silver ticket first, ah"
Steward Hu's eyes were dark, and he was about to fall, Lu Feifei stretched out his hand to support him, and shouted to the sunspot at the door, "Big eyes, come and help me, Steward Hu fainted with excitement."
Heizi hurriedly ran over, and the two of them were in a hurry, pinching and patting his chest at Steward Hu, and finally he woke up again.
At this moment, a 'rumbling' drum sounded, as if someone was beating the drum.
Not long after, there was another rush of footsteps outside the study, and I saw Zhao Bantou running in in a hurry, very anxiously, arching his hand, "Master, a group of people at the entrance of the yamen are beating drums and shouting grievances" When people were not paying attention, Zhao Bantou secretly glanced at Lu Fei.
"Okay, ascend to the hall" Lu Fei put the silver ticket into his waist, and then turned around to Zhao Junma, "Master Junma, you see that I am on official business."
Zhao Junma also heard about Lu Zhixian's magical method of solving the case, and was very curious, so he said, "I also want to see Lord Lu's method of solving the case, if it is convenient....."
This is in Lu Fei's arms, "Convenient, convenient, Zhao Bantou, go to the back hall to set up a seat for the county horse, the county horse, please"
"Please"
Wang Xiancheng couldn't say a word, so he had to follow Zhao Junma out of the study nervously, just out of the door of the study, Lu Fei remembered something, so he turned around and said to the big eyes who were supporting Steward Hu, "Big eyes, you send Steward Hu back to the county Ma Ye's mansion first, then, don't look at it, by the way, wrap the painting for Steward Hu, send it over, remember to bring back ten taels of gold."
Wow, Steward Hu fainted again.
The county lord was promoted twice in a day, this is lively, watching the lively and the complaint to fill the streets at the entrance of the yamen, everyone you push and squeeze, sweating profusely, but full of interest, because this time the defendant is no one else, it is Wang Xiancheng, who has been rampant in the county for six or seven years, and the people are bullied by him on weekdays, this time it can be regarded as a very happy time, and whether it can be sued or not, it makes people feel relieved to listen.
The officials on duty are trying their best to maintain the order of the scene, but they are still in chaos, even the wall is full of people's heads, just like watching a big show, the county seat with a big fart does not have much work, the news that Wang Xiancheng was sued has spread all over the city, and there are still rushing to join in the excitement on the streets, and many small merchants and vendors have pushed the guys to sell melon seed snacks and mung bean soup to cool off the heat on the side, and they also made a small profit for a while.
Lu Fei came straight to the lobby from the back office, he was very satisfied with this kind of scene, patted Zhao Bantou on the shoulder, and praised him for being able to do things, what he wanted was this effect, no matter what kind of prince and grandson you are, you can't stand this public opinion.
As soon as Wang Xiancheng saw this formation outside the hall, his calves began to tremble, his face turned pale, he moved his steps with difficulty, and bent down to salute Lu Fei, "My lord is sitting in the hall, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to be here, so I will retire first" As he spoke, he was about to go to the back.
Lu Fei grabbed him, "yes, don't prevent things, don't guard against things, listen to Lord Wang, how spectacular this scene is, it's rare to see, come on, Zhao Bantou, get a chair for Lord Wang."
Zhao Bantou brought a chair from the back hall, Wang Xiancheng looked left and right, and sat down slowly, he didn't know if it was hot or in a hurry, he was already sweating, but he didn't care about wiping it.
Lu Fei glanced at the back hall through the gap in the screen behind him, Li Shun was drinking tea with Zhao Junma, looking at Zhao Junma's leisurely appearance, he must not know what was going to happen next, thinking of this, Lu Fei's face couldn't help but show a touch of pride, rubbed the 10,000 taels of silver tickets on his chest, and patted the wood.
'Smack', "Which drum is beating, bring it to the hall"
There was a commotion, the crowd surged, dozens of people poured up in the lobby, and they knelt down in a row, and those who couldn't kneel knelt outside the hall, headed by Hu Laohan of the Hu family's wine store to help his scarred son Hu Damao.
These people were chased back by Zhao Bantou not long after they left the county government, and they were threatened and lured, so they finally pulled these people back, telling them that if something happened, the county master was in charge, and they won the lawsuit and had a reward, and they starved to death the cowardly, these people gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, left, and went back to sue his mother.
Lu Fei was secretly proud, pretending to be fake, and said, "Yo, these people, it's a bit messy, let's try the cases one by one."
Zhao Bantou turned around and arched his hand, and said, "My lord, this is actually a case, and they are suing the same person."
"Oh, who is so unlucky, who to sue?" Lu Fei glanced at Wang Xiancheng and asked with bad intentions.
Hu Laohan kowtowed to the court, looked at the people behind him, there is a way to blame the public, he was bold, he recognized it in the morning class, this new county master is the young man who ate white food in his tavern the day before yesterday, the county master instigated him to come to the lawsuit, that is even more fearless, straightened up and said, "Master, the grass people are not suing others, it is Wang Xiancheng, Wang Lao"
Zhao Junma in the back hall hurriedly got up when he heard this, Li Shun had already prepared, stopped him, and whispered with a smile, "Don't be impatient, don't listen to it again"
Wang Xiancheng has not helped Zhao Mansion over the years, where the rent cannot be collected, where there is someone making trouble in the shop of Zhao Mansion, these will arrange for Wang Xiancheng to come forward, even the goods of Zhao Mansion to and from various states and counties, Wang Xiancheng will send officials to escort them, although these things are arranged by Steward Hu, but Zhao Junma also knows, only by colluding with officials and businessmen can business prosper.
Wang Xiancheng couldn't sit still, stood up with a snort, went straight to Hu Laohan, and scolded, "Okay, you Diao Min, do you want to rebel?" ”
Wang Xiancheng turned to Lu Fei again and said hurriedly, "Lord Lu, this is a false accusation, they are trying to gather people to make trouble, Zhao Bantou, quickly disperse all the people of Diao."
Zhao Bantou was angry with him for many years, and he was forced to helplessly act for the tiger, and now he can be regarded as having a bright future.
'Slap' Lu Fei slapped the startled wood heavily, and waved his hand at Wang Xiancheng, "Lord Wang, sit down, I will sit in the hall today, besides, if no one says anything to accuse you, you will know that it is a false accusation, don't buckle your hat at every turn, listen to what they say first."
