"Proof!" Standing in front of the prison door of the mansion, Tang Xiu straightened up and looked at Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe indifferently, "Although I, Tang Xiu, don't have any meritorious titles, but now Lai Hao also lives in the Taoyuan Pavilion in the east of the city, and he pays taxes and abides by the law on time every year. ”

"On the premise that there is no human or physical evidence, even Lord Fuzun, you have no right to sentence me to prison!"

When Tang Xiu said these words, he was completely gambling, and he was a little up and down in his heart.

If Taiyuan Mansion Yin doesn't accept this and wants to deal with him with all his heart, will he tell you anything about human rights, human rights, law-abiding and law-abiding?

Evidence or something, in the eyes of many officials, it's a dispensable fart, and you can't arrest people without evidence? Can't be sentenced without evidence? If this is the case, where did so many unjust, false and wrongful convictions come from throughout the ages? Even hide-and-seek can hide from the dead, not to mention that it is still a big case like arson and poisoning?

Xiao Tong, Tang Xiu didn't know him, but after living in Taiyuan for so long, it was impossible for him not to have heard of this name.

I haven't done any evil, and of course I haven't done anything commendable, and I have been a Fu Yin in Taiyuan Mansion for more than ten years, and there is no sign of going to move like a nail on my ass.

Therefore, Tang Xiu now understands Xiao Tong's mood very well at this moment, and seeing the irrepressible anger hidden in Xiao Tong's eyes, Tang Xiu really doesn't want to touch the moldy head of this Lord Yin at this time.

After more than ten years in Taiyuan, he finally had a chance to be promoted in the name of Yugong Qingcai, but now he was blocked by someone, Tang Xiu is very sure that Xiao Tong has definitely wanted to kill people now, once he is convicted of his crime, I am afraid that tonight will be his last night in Tang Xiu.

Therefore, even if it is at the risk of causing Xiao Tongxin's anger, there are some things that Tang Xiu still has to say in advance, the only thing Tang Xiu can rely on now is the group of city guards outside the manor, not asking them to show up for him, as long as they can borrow their names to deter the Taiyuan Mansion Yin in front of him, and get a chance for himself to be treated fairly, it is enough.

The annual protection fee of 1,000 yuan, if it can't play a role at this time, chills the hearts of those owners, who will give them again in the future?

"What about living in the east of the city?" Xiao Tong was very dissatisfied with Tang Xiu's current arrogant attitude, and said to Tang Xiu in a cold voice: "If today's case is indeed instructed by you, let alone the city guards, even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, he can't protect you!" ”

The dignified members of the mansion now even have vulgar words like Heavenly King Lao Tzu coming out of their mouths, which shows how angry Xiao Tong is now.

However, hearing Xiao Tong's words, Tang Xiu's heart that he had been carrying was relaxed, and it could be seen that Xiao Tong was somewhat taboo about his identity as the owner of the Chengdong Manor, otherwise it would be the sticks in the hands of those servants who greeted him now, instead of Xiao Tong's verbal warnings that were no threat to him.

"Lord Fuzun, don't worry, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the kid!" Tang Xiu said calmly: "I only hope that Lord Fuzun can see the details, and don't wronged the kid because of the provocation of some well-intentioned people." ”

"Someone with a heart?" Xiao Tong's eyebrows raised, "Who are you referring to by someone with a heart?" Pei Youdao? ”

"It doesn't matter who it is." Hearing Xiao Tong mention Pei Youdao, Tang Xiu knew that this Lord Fu Yin had a lot of doubts in his heart, and his heart was a little relieved, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "The important thing is that we must find out what the truth of the facts is, and I don't want to let go of the real mastermind of this matter, and I don't want to be fooled like this, right?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the evidence you want will be found and put in front of you one by one. Take him down and keep him alone! No one is allowed to visit without the permission of the Governor's Authority! ”

Xiao Tong's face changed as soon as he said it, and his face, which was not very good-looking before, became more and more fierce now, he scolded and waved his hand, and ordered someone to take Tang Xiu into prison, as for Tang Lu, who came with him, he was directly driven out by the servants present.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of this Tang Xiu?" Standing in front of the prison door, Xiao Tong didn't mean to go in directly to interrogate Tang Xiu, but whispered to Wang Yanhe of Shaoyin next to him.

Wang Yanhe chuckled and replied: "A very interesting young man, even if he is in prison, he doesn't seem to be afraid at all, the lower official doesn't know if he has anything to rely on, but as far as I can see in front of him, his performance seems to be very different from the rumors Tang Xiu that the lower official heard today." ”

Xiao Tong nodded and said: "Yes, neither humble nor arrogant, in front of you and me, he is also calm and unhurried, without the slightest fear, which is indeed very different from the rumored loser." If the previous loser didn't have the courage to make such a shocking case, now the government is beginning to be a little suspicious. ”

I don't know how Tang Xiu will feel after hearing these words, I don't know if he will regret his previous indifferent performance?

Wang Yanhe smiled and shook his head, he didn't talk, he knew that Xiao Tong was joking, if it was possible that the previous loser might be stupid enough to make people commit crimes during the day, the current Tang Xiu would be even more impossible.

Now Xiao Tong should be more inclined to believe in the rumor in the morning.

The ancient well failed, and the greens grown became ordinary things, originally this was nothing, but the important thing is that the greens have been planted by the emperor, and such a thing happened just after being accepted as a royal tribute, of course, the emperor is not the kind of unreasonable person, and he may not take the Pei family as well, but the emperor's failure to pursue does not mean that others will not pursue it either.

Not to mention those merchants who have been raised by the Pei family, it is the Lord Fu Yin in front of him, I am afraid that he will not let go of Pei Youdao if he is the first.

"Who did this matter, and the officials don't dare to draw conclusions now." Wang Yanhe said softly: "But the next official has just gotten a little bit of news about the Pei family, and I think the adults will be somewhat interested." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Tong turned his head to look at Wang Yanhe, "Let's talk about it." ”

"After Pei Youdao returned from the government today, he was surrounded by some merchants in Taiyuan City, all of whom demanded compensation." Wang Yanhe said: "Later, the people below inquired carefully and found out that as early as half a month ago, Pei Youdao had signed a contract with many merchants in the city to buy and sell vegetables. ”

"Originally, it was not unusual for the buyer and seller to sign the contract, but what was unusual was that the liquidated damages for the contract they signed all reached 100,000 yuan." Wang Yanhe sighed with a lot of embarrassment: "Now that the ancient well has been abandoned and the vegetable field has been burned, the Pei family has to face the blame of the heavenly family, and also bears a huge compensation of more than 300,000 yuan. Therefore, Pei Youdao should be very eager to find the real culprit who ruined the future of his Pei family now, and transfer all the blame and debts to the real murderer. ”

"300,000?!"

Xiao Tong gasped, you must know that the total annual tax payment of the entire Taiyuan Mansion is only 200,000 guan, isn't the 300,000 guan almost enough to catch up with the tax paid by Taiyuan Mansion in the past two years?

"Is the message exact?"

Xiao Tong couldn't believe it, he didn't expect Pei Youdao to be so bold, and he didn't expect those green vegetables to be so attractive, 100,000 yuan of liquidated damages, if it weren't for the fact that there were more and bigger profits hidden in it, no one would have the courage to sign such a sky-high contract.

Wang Yanhe said: "This is not a secret, as long as you inquire a little, you can figure it out." ”

Xiao Tong nodded lightly with a gloomy face, and said in a sympathetic voice: "If that's the case, then this matter is worth pondering......
