When this cadre came in, he was fierce and vicious, and the whole family of Jiao Rong was frightened, and Jiao Rong's son was the most daring, screamed, clenched his fists, and hurried to find the bottom of the bed. However, Jiao Rong saw the person clearly, and grabbed his son, "Little beast, what are you afraid of him?" A hundred households in brocade clothes, plus a bunch of people who don't even have an official body, what's so scary? ”

He said to Yang Chengzu again: "Yang Baihu, I don't know that you are here, and I hope that you will forgive me." Jiao is no longer in the yamen now, I didn't expect that there would be people from the government who came to look for me, I don't know what the hundred households have to say? ”

He is really not afraid of Yang Chengzu, the other party is an official, so he is destined to act according to rules and means, and cannot be unscrupulous. After all, this Ming Dynasty has the king's law, don't look at the future of being dismissed, but there is still a thousand brothers-in-law who sacrificed his life for the country, can he still fabricate a crime and fail to take himself?

If he comes to make trouble, then it is just right, he can go to the yamen to complain, as long as he occupies the reason, he is not afraid that he will not be able to move him.

He also grasped that he was doing this matter seamlessly, and he counted all the relevant personnel in the yamen one by one, don't look at the black money, but how can Yang Chengzu prove it? The yamen all helped him, and he could only eat this dumb man, otherwise, he would be the enemy of the entire Huaxian Yamen, and there would be no good result.

Yang Chengzu snorted, found a chair to sit down, and sneered: "Jiao Rong, we don't have so much to say between us, I brought a few brothers here today, so I asked you a word, when will you pay back the money you owe me?" ”

"Owed money? Yang Baihu, what did you say, we don't get close to each other, and we don't have a reason, so it's impossible for you to lend me money. Are you always misremembering the money owed by others as Jiao? In this peaceful world, you can't say that whoever owes you money must owe you money just because you worship the brothers in the county. ”

"Huh? Jiao Rong, do you old boy want to pay the bill? But if you inquire about Huaxian County, the person who wants to rely on my Yang Chengzu debt may not have been born yet. Killing people to pay for their lives, and paying off debts, this is a truth that can be recognized everywhere. This has nothing to do with the county honor, whoever is replaced, he has to be reasonable. Come on, show him the evidence. ”

Wang Tietou responded, took out a piece of paper, and patted it in front of Jiao Rong, "Since you are on an errand in the house, you must know how to read." See for yourself what's on top of this. I tell you, if you can't hand over the money today, watch out for your bones! ”

Jiao Rong looked at it fixedly, but saw that there was an IOU in front of him, which said that Jiao Rong was forced to borrow 800 taels of silver from Yang Chengzu because of his livelihood, with interest calculated in two cents and returned in ten days. If it cannot be repaid when it is due, it will be left to the creditor.

Yang Chengzu said: "For the sake of your new loss of the messenger, this day is not easy, I can slow down this interest, but you must return the principal." If you can't get it, I'll go to your sister and ask for it. Li Qianhu has some furniture, I think what, I can top eight hundred taels. ”

Jiao Rong looked at it several times before and after, and he already saw sweat on his forehead, what a hell, this signature is no different from what he wrote, even if he looks at it from the perspective of the party, he can only say that this character was written by himself. How did this happen, I have done a lot of forged signatures, but how can there be some signs, why is this signature made, and I can't even recognize it?

How did he know that this was Zhang Jiayin's personal operation, there was a national dynasty jinshi, and the seven-pin Zhengtang shot, and the effect was naturally extraordinary. What does the signature count, what does the county magistrate say is true, what is true, what is false, what is false, what is false, and what is true is the basic means, the ability in it, how can Jiao Rong predict?

He was anxious, angry and afraid, and scolded: "Yang Xiaogou, you are so bold, you dare to forge an IOU, don't you know that this is a violation of the Ming Law?" If I sue you to the yamen, you will not be able to eat and walk around. If you are interested, you will tear this thing up, you should have never seen it, otherwise, I will go to the yamen to sue you for forging a contract and robbing the people's property, even if the county can't sue you, I will go to the government to control the province, and I will definitely let you eat a lawsuit! ”

As soon as Wang Tietou heard this, he stretched out the big slap of the dustpan, slammed his head and face, and made a loud crackling sound, only spurting blood from Jiao Rong's mouth and nose, and he couldn't stop screaming. Wang Tietou scolded while beating: "Straight thief, are you still reasonable?" The black and white words are here, you can't deny it, you have to sue, just go to sue, privately rely on the official seal of the clerk, with this IOU, that is, the lawsuit is in front of the emperor, and my brother Yang is reasonable. I'd like to see which senses can say they don't have to pay back the money they owe. ”

Yang Chengzu's hand actually copied Jiao Rong's method and forged an IOU, just like he forged a receipt. This method is not very new, but the problem is that it is really difficult to deal with. Just like Jiao Rong dotted the upper and lower joints of the yamen, no one would come out to prove that the receipt was forged, and this IOU must have opened up the joints of Yang Chengzu, and he was sure that it would not be recognized.

Those colleagues in the yamen recognize money but not people, and as long as he has some money, those people will not mind recognizing the authenticity of the IOU. Besides, the justice of the Ming Dynasty is not as rigorous as that of later generations, this kind of private lending behavior, to the government is also to use debt to speak, as for further verification of authenticity, the yamen has so many official affairs, how can there be so much time to screen one by one?

He didn't know that this debt was from Zhang Jiayin's hand, otherwise he would have to spray blood into the sky, shouting that the sky has no eyes, and the people have no way to live. It is the situation in front of him, which makes him, an old official, feel tricky, and this Yang Chengzu's reaction is too fast, if he is a few days late, as long as that big thing is done, why should he get to this point today?

Now, if he refuses to admit this debt, he will not only suffer the problem of immediate losses, but will be hit in the yamen, and he will also lose and win. As for the government control and provincial control, it is difficult to say that things are easy to do, and people have this IOU in their hands, so where can he go? He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "You don't have fingerprints on this IOU, so you can't count it." ”

Yang Chengzu sneered: "Fingerprints? Jiao Hushu is also a decent person in the yamen, and if you have to put a fingerprint on an IOU, it will be too shameful to give you face. At the beginning, I also saw that you were a household secretary in the yamen, and you were decent, as long as you signed and didn't let you take your fingerprints, but if you want to talk about this, I'm afraid it won't stand up, right? If this document has no fingerprints, doesn't it count? ”

Jiao Rong didn't dare to respond to his question, he had already determined that Yang Chengzu must have seen the receipt. If you say that if you don't have fingerprints, you don't count, so how does that count receipts? He forced himself to admit that the receipt was forged, but he couldn't, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "This word may not have been written by me, and besides, I can't take out eight hundred taels of silver at the moment, my sister is a married daughter, what does this have to do with her?" ”
