Chapter 133: Timely Rain (1st Update)
The sudden appearance of five thousand taels of silver tickets suddenly disrupted Li Yuntian's square inch, he did not know any information about the outside world during his imprisonment, and as for this money, it seemed that it was difficult for him to say clearly. It is recommended to read novels and read books quickly
"Li Zhixian, can you explain to this official why the money is in your study?" Seeing that Li Yuntian was a little distracted, Luo Qing raised his voice and asked, these five thousand taels of silver tickets are the key to whether Li Yuntian took bribes.
"Lord Luo, Xia Guan doesn't know why there are five thousand taels of silver tickets in Xia Guan's study, if Xia Guan has such a large sum of money, he will definitely buy a property to maintain its value!" Li Yuntian came back to his senses and said to Luo Qing with a wry smile, does he want to question the people who patrol the Imperial History Yamen for planting false accusations?
"Value preservation?" Luo Qing couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard this, when is it Li Yuntian still had the heart to joke, this money was found in his study, and it was obviously impossible for him to shirk responsibility.
In fact, Luo Qing and the others also thought that it was a bit unreasonable for the five thousand taels of silver tickets to appear in Li Yuntian's study, because wouldn't it be safer for Li Yuntian to hand it over to the Chen family or the Zheng family?
It's just that they can't say this question, otherwise they will be suspected of exculpating Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian needs to find a way to prove that the money is not his.
"Lord Luo, can you take a look at those silver tickets." Li Yuntian naturally knew that this matter could not be prevaricated, and after a deep sigh, he said, since the five thousand taels of silver tickets were found from his study, then he must see what they look like, otherwise wouldn't it be very wrong.
Hearing this, Luo Qing waved his hand at the messenger in the hall, and one of the messengers took the five brand-new 1,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian looked at it, the five silver tickets came from the largest money village in the Ming Dynasty - Longchang Money Village, because Delong Money Village has a semicolon in the country, so it can be exchanged throughout the country, that is to say, these five silver tickets are very ordinary, there is no problem.
"Boss Shi, do you remember which branch of Changlong Money Village these five silver tickets were taken from?" Li Yuntian frowned at the number on the silver ticket, and then turned his head to look at Shi An, who was kneeling beside him.
"It was taken out of the Jiujiang branch after the end of this year." When Shi An heard this, he replied quietly.
"What time after the year?" Li Yuntian stared at Shi An and asked.
"In April, at that time, the second lady said that the adults could help, so the villain took a silver ticket from the Jiujiang branch and gave it to the second lady." Shi An had been prepared for a long time and said in an orderly manner, the second lady in his mouth naturally referred to the green calyx.
"Are you sure it's April?" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked at Shi An coldly, if it wasn't for Shi An's frame, how could the green calyx have a miscarriage?
"Lord Luo, the villain remembers it clearly, it is the silver ticket obtained by going to Longchang Qianzhuang in April, the villain had an extra heart at that time, and he was afraid that Li Zhixian would not do anything for the villain after receiving this money, so he deliberately wrote down the number on the silver ticket, which the patrol adult can testify to the small. The fastest and most stable update dìng"
Shi An was a little disheartened by Li Yuntian, turned to Luo Qing, and said loudly.
"My lord, this patrol can prove that when Luo Qing sued at that time, the number on the silver ticket was indeed listed on the complaint." Cui Hui turned to Luo Qing and arched his hand, indicating that what Shi An said was true.
"Lord Luo, the lower official has a question in his heart, and I hope that the lord can summon the shopkeeper of the Jiujiang branch of Longchang Qianzhuang to come and explain the doubts to the lower official." Li Yuntian didn't continue to dwell on the silver ticket, and looked up at Luo Qing.
Luo Qing nodded, threw out a warrant, and a messenger picked it up and led a few people to leave in a hurry, going to the Jiujiang branch of Longchang Qianzhuang to summon the shopkeeper.
Cui Hui's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression, not knowing what the hell Li Yuntian was doing.
"My lord, the women have been wronged, please avenge the women!"
Originally, Luo Qing thought that it would take a while to summon the shopkeeper of the Jiujiang Branch, but he didn't expect that not long after the summoned officer left, when he was drinking tea slowly, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door of the mansion.
Hearing this voice, Li Yuntian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Zhou Yuting, who was wearing a five-feather crown and a big shirt, walking in front, followed by two women in plain skirts with stomachs, escorted into the courtyard by a group of guards.
The two women in plain skirts were none other than Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, at this time, the pregnancy of the two was already obvious, and they looked a little haggard.
After seeing Li Yuntian and Lu Calyx in the lobby, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou smiled slightly, revealing a trace of calmness and calmness in their smiles, which made Li Yuntian breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the two of them should have something to gain.
"County Lord!" Luo Qingzheng wondered why he didn't see Zhou Yuting in today's court trial, but now Zhou Yuting not only appeared, but also brought two pregnant women, so he got up and led everyone to salute Zhou Yuting.
According to the etiquette in the officialdom, the county lord is a super grade, far higher than the grade of Luo Qing and others, so they have to salute Zhou Yuting.
"The county lord is only here to listen this time, and Lord Luo will try the case as he wants." A guard moved a chair and placed it on the side of the hall, and Zhou Yuting sat down straight and said quietly.
"Who are you two and what grievances do you have to avenge?" Luo Qing then sat down, glanced at Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou who were kneeling in front of the hall and asked, in fact, he had already guessed the identities of the two, they could be brought into the lobby by Zhou Yuting and pregnant, and they were definitely Li Yuntian's two wanted concubines.
"The people's women Li Chen and Li Zheng, knock on your lords, the two of us are the concubines of the magistrate of Hukou County." When Chen Ningning heard this, Jiao Sheng revealed her identity to Luo Qing, and for the sake of orthodoxy, she deliberately added Li Yuntian's surname "Li" in front of her surname.
After hearing Chen Ningning's answer, there was a commotion among the people in the courtyard, and no one could have imagined that the two wanted people would appear at this time, stretching their necks and looking into the lobby one by one.
"You two are pregnant, get up and talk." After confirming the identities of the two, Luo Qing raised his hand in the void, no matter how Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou are still official dependents, they deserve preferential treatment.
"Master Xie." Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou bowed to Luo Qingyi, and Li Yuntian hurriedly went over and helped the two of them up one by one.
"Li Chen, Li Zheng, this official asks you, why can't you hide it when you know that the government is wanted by the government, are you lucky and want to abscond in fear of crime?" Then, Luo Qing's face sank and asked coldly.
"My lord, the two women did not abscond in fear of crime, but went to find evidence that my lord was framed." Chen Ningning explained in a coquettish voice.
"Oh?" Luo Qing didn't expect Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou to be like what Li Yuntian just said, they actually went to look for evidence with their stomachs up, and asked quietly, "Have you found evidence?" ”
"The sky has eyes, and the two women have found conclusive evidence that can prove that my lord was framed, and the so-called bribery is purely false, and it is a trap set by some people who want to harm my lord." Chen Ningning nodded and replied with a resolute expression.
As soon as these words came out, the people at the scene couldn't help but be surprised, and they all looked at Chen Ningning, wondering what evidence she and Zheng Wanrou had in their hands.
Cui Hui's face was a little cloudy, and he didn't know where Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou went, so naturally he didn't know what killer weapon the two of them had.
"What evidence do you two have?" Luo Qing felt a little interesting, even he felt that Li Yuntian's case was tricky, but he didn't expect that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, two female gentlemen, would be able to find evidence to prove that Li Yuntian was framed, so he asked with interest.
"My lord, before the woman presents the evidence, there are some things she wants to ask the three plaintiffs who sued my family." Chen Ningning did not answer Luo Qing directly, but made a request.
Luo Qing bowed slightly, and stretched out her hand to signal that she could ask questions to Shi An, Liu Ming, and Gu Manfu who were kneeling there.
"Boss Shi, can you tell the people's wife, why did you suddenly come to Baishui Town and enter the newly opened freight yard when you did a good job in Yangzhou?" Chen Ningning saw Shi An and the three of them for the first time, and after figuring out the identities of the three people, she opened her mouth and asked Shi An.
"Baishui Town is located at the mouth of Poyang Lake, is an important hub of the Yangtze River waterway, once the Baishui Town freight yard is developed, then it will become an important freight distribution center of the Yangtze River waterway, with broad prospects, and it is natural to take the lead and seize the opportunity." Shi An had been prepared and replied unhurriedly.
"Boss Shi, the woman heard that you borrowed debts everywhere a year ago, and after the year, you not only paid off all the debts, but also had the funds to come to Baishui Town to do business, the woman wants to know how you rejuvenated?"
The corners of Chen Ningning's mouth showed a sneer, and she said in a coquettish voice, "You don't have to rush to answer the people's women, the husband of the people's women once said that a lie usually has to be covered up with thousands of lies, you have to think about it!" ”
Shi An's face changed suddenly when he heard this, his eyes showed a panicked look, he never expected that Chen Ningning would be able to find out such a secret thing, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Boss Liu, how long have you not been back to Jiaxing Mansion?" Chen Ningning didn't ask any further, but looked at Liu Ming, looked him up and down, and asked unexpectedly.
"It has been two years since I left home last year." Liu Ming felt a little strange, and replied after thinking about it.
"A lot of things will change in two years, but there will be a lot of things that can't be changed." Chen Ningning looked at him meaningfully when she heard this, "As far as the people know, Boss Liu was involved in a business dispute a few years ago, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"It's settled." Liu Ming's face showed a look of embarrassment and confessed.
"Boss Gu, I heard that you are nearly thirty years old before you like your son, you must have great expectations for your son?" Chen Ningning saw that Liu Ming's expression became unnatural, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and asked Gu Manfu.
"The dog has been stubborn since he was a child, and now he is being sent to study in the academy in Jinling." Gu Manfu couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard this, and replied a little nervously.
"When the woman was in Yangzhou, she accidentally learned that your son had a big gamble in ** years ago, presumably Boss Gu will not forget it!" Chen Ningning immediately changed her tone and looked at Gu Manfu coldly.
"The dog made friends carelessly, went astray, and now he has reformed himself." Gu Manfu looked a little stunned when he heard this, and then replied with a smile, subconsciously wiping the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Boss Shi, where did you get the money to turn things around, who was so kind to give you such a large sum of money? Boss Liu, according to your family in Jiaxing Mansion, you have a birthmark on your left arm, can you show it to everyone? Boss Gu, your son lost all your property to ** in ** years ago, I don't know where Boss Gu raised this money? ”
Chen Ningning's eyes flashed coldly, and he pointed at Shi An, Liu Ming and Gu Manfu in turn, and asked in a coquettish voice, which made the faces of the three of them change greatly, revealing a frightened look. One
