Chapter 169 Robber Robbery?

There are a total of six people from the Pu family stationed in Fuzhou City, these six people are all from Quanzhou Mansion, the first two are the direct children of the Pu family, Pu Wenyong, the son of Pu Shousheng, Pu Wenfeng, and the son of Pu Shougeng, and the other four are men from the Pujia Commercial Bank in Quanzhou. The task given to them by Pu Shou Geng is very simple and costs money. Of course, everyone can spend money, but it is not so easy to spend a lot of money every day, and it is worth it.

Pu Wenyong, Pu Wenfeng was very unhappy, and he was summoned by the government for questioning in broad daylight. Didn't you say that it was all settled? Fuck, the bigwigs on Fujian Road collected money but didn't do it well, and there was something out of the way, Pu Wenfeng scolded in a low voice as he walked.

For the Pu brothers, this Fuzhou Mansion is quite familiar, and they will come and go every once in a while, and there are almost no people they don't know from top to bottom. However, it was the first time he had entered the court.

The prefect Zhang Songzhang, who was arrogant, sat on the deputy seat, without the majesty of the past, and shouted weakly: "Ascend to the hall." ”

"Mighty!"

Pu Wenyong looked around, and he didn't know any of the officials on both sides of the court, and judging from the uniforms, they were not the officials of the state capital at all. Pu Wenyong looked at Chen Huainan next to him, and he was also surprised.

Zhang Song patted the shocked wood: "Pu Wenyong, Pu Wenfeng, today there is a complaint from the Lin Firm in Fuzhou that you used illegal means to cause the Ship Department to detain the goods transported by the Lin Firm, can there be such a thing?" ”

Pu Wenyong stepped forward and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant: "My lord, my Pu family only does business in Quanzhou and has not set foot in Fuzhou, how can they use any so-called illegal means in Fuzhou?" Please make the decision for the grass people. ”

Pu Wenfeng looked impatient and said, "Lin Zhixiong, do you have any evidence?" Otherwise, we will sue you for falsehood. ”

Zhang Song subconsciously asked: "Exactly, Lin Zhixiong, do you have any evidence?" ”

Kong Jian said unhurriedly: "My lord, we don't have evidence at the moment. A few days ago, our bank signed a supply agreement with a merchant in Java, and on the second day after the agreement was signed, the Pu family asked people to take a message, saying that they hoped that we would give up the agreement and let them go, and said that the compensation for violating the agreement would be paid by them, and that all the overseas MSG business would be handed over to the Pu family in the future, and the Pu family would give us subsidies, and at the same time, the Pu family would fully cooperate with the business of our firm in Quanzhou. My lord, Quanzhou Pujia has always had a lot of dealings with overseas merchants, and my Lin firm is also expanding overseas business, so we naturally refused. Although the overseas business of our firm is far less than that of Pujia, it also has some customers, and when dealing with overseas customers in the past, there were occasional small frictions with Pujia, but they could be resolved through private negotiation. However, this is the first time that the ship department representing the official has come forward. If this matter has nothing to do with the Pu family, it is really hard to believe. ”

Chen Huainan said: "Kong Jian, this official knows that you can be good at speaking, but I attach importance to evidence in the law, and let what you say fall wildly, but if you can't produce evidence, it constitutes the crime of framing, you not only framed the Pu family, but also framed my ship department, you must know that the ship department is the yamen of the imperial court, how can you let you make false accusations at will." ”

Pu Wenfeng catered and said: "Lord Chen is reasonable, I think your Lin family is deliberately finding fault." ”

"Silence!" Ye Mengding patted the shocked wooden road, "Pu Wenfeng, when Lord Zhang asks you, you speak again." ”

Pu Wenfeng seemed to be unconvinced: "This adult, that guy is deliberately ......"

"Wen Feng, Hugh is rude." Pu Wenyong frowned when he saw Ye Mengding in the center, and hurriedly interrupted Pu Wenfeng, and Chen Huainan on the side also glared at him fiercely.

Kong Jian said: "My lord, yesterday it was said that the grass people should admit that if we are framed, the grass people are willing to accept the disposal of the law, however, for this only the Pu family has this motive, please investigate it carefully." ”

The two sides have their own opinions, Kong Jian's words are sharp, and Pu Wenyong is also not leaky, to put it simply, Kong Jian has no evidence, and it is impossible to convict based on motives alone, Pu Wenyong and Chen Huainan will not admit it, but have repeatedly fought back, which is a false accusation. After a stalemate, Chen Huainan said: "My lord, the lower official is also an official of the imperial court, and today he said that because he has official business, he needs to return to the Bo Division. ”

Zhang Song didn't dare to make the decision, looked at Ye Mengding and said, "My lord, look? ”

Ye Mengding nodded: "Chen Huainan, since you have official business, go down first, if this case is necessary, you can be on call." ”

"Yes, Lord Qincha, Lord Zhang, the next official will retire."

At noon, Wen Zhang and Chen Miao left for the Chuanfang Market after eating, and prepared to take Song Wuxin to the Pingshan Inn at the agreed time yesterday. Fang Ling and Lin Ying took Huang Daopo to go shopping, saying that they wanted to buy a few well-fitting clothes for Huang Daopo.

I took a break and slept in, and it was so comfortable that I could sleep until three or four o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday in the future. This day is also relaxed, drinking Fujian's Tieguanyin, listening to Yuan Jian's anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, and unconsciously it's evening again.

When I used to read books, I always felt that "no book is a book without coincidence" was too much of a coincidence, but I didn't expect that I also encountered a coincidence.

After listening to Ye Mengding's court trial, Xiao Han hurriedly came to report.

"Childe, it's about Pu Wenfeng."

"What a coincidence, I just heard Mr. Ye mention this person." I smiled and said, "Xiao Han, you take your time." ”

"Childe, after I opened the Tongle Building, Pu Wenfeng often came to visit, and over time, I became familiar with him. This person's surname is impatient, and he is a good drinker, and every time he gets drunk, he will talk nonsense. In the evening of tonight, Pu Wenfeng went to Tongle Lou alone, and ordered a lot of dishes by himself, I felt curious, so I drank with him, Pu Wenfeng seemed to be in a bad mood, and he drank very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to start talking nonsense. He explained that he was going to return to Quanzhou early in the morning, and he would not be in Fuzhou for a while, so he wanted to have a good meal, and said that he wanted me to go to Quanzhou to open a Tongle Building, I asked him, it was good in Fuzhou, why did he want to go back, he said that the government was investigating the matter of the Lin's business house monosodium glutamate being refused to get on the ship, and his brother thought that his surname was impatient, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he asked him to go back and rest for a while. ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Then did he say that it had anything to do with it?" ”

"No, he didn't reveal that at all."

Ye Mengding said: "Judging from the situation today, among the Pu family brothers, Pu Wenyong's surname is calm and thoughtful, while Pu Wenfeng is surnamed impatient, if there is any problem with the Pu family, Pu Wenfeng is likely to become a breakthrough, so Pu Wenyong let him return to Quanzhou for temporary refuge." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, this possibility is very big, and it also indirectly shows that the Pu family has something to do with this matter." It seems that the Pu family didn't know that we were also involved in this matter, otherwise he wouldn't dare to come to Tongle Lou to drink again, hehe, this can be regarded as a coincidence. ”

Xiao Han was puzzled: "Childe, why do you say that Pu Wenfeng doesn't dare to come here to drink?" They didn't know that Gongzi was the owner of the Shifeng Trading Bank. ”

"This is very simple, Beijing Tongle Building belongs to Shifeng Commercial Bank, and Shifeng Commercial Bank is the producer of monosodium glutamate, Lin Zhixiong, as the agent of Fujian Road monosodium glutamate, it is impossible not to be related to Shifeng, which is naturally easy to reminiscent of Tongle Building. Even if the people of the Pu family don't know, the Chen family, the official eunuch of Fujian Road, will definitely know. However, what Xiao Han said was right, they didn't know that the son of Huyan of Shifeng Commercial Bank had arrived in Fuzhou. ”

"Childe, what are we going to do then?"

"Take down Pu Wenfeng first, you will definitely be able to ask a lot from his mouth."

Ye Mengding hesitated for a moment and said, "In what name?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "In the name? Hehe, robbers robbed. ”

"Robbers?" Ye Mengding muttered and said, "Childe, if Pu Wenfeng resolutely doesn't say it, then will we startle the snake?" ”

"Mr. Ye, rest assured, Pu Wenfeng will definitely say it."

I already remembered that in the imperial study, I had seen a record of the Pu family left by the first emperor.
