Chapter 70: Recognition
"Yes, I sent Zheng Ze to do this matter, and I will bear all the losses of Tangdong Restaurant." Mrs. Zheng quickly regained her senses and confessed to the crime.
"Madame!" Zheng Ze exclaimed, he couldn't have imagined that Mrs. Zheng would suddenly admit it, obviously the situation on their side is very good, as long as they bite to death and don't let go, no one can help them!
"Zheng Ze, the matter has come to this point, you can admit it, I naturally have my plans." Mrs. Zheng quickly turned the Buddha beads in her hand and commanded Zheng Ze.
As soon as these words came out, not only Zheng Ze was stunned, but even the county magistrate and everyone outside the hall were a little confused about Mrs. Zheng's path.
"Master, this Mrs. Zheng is not a demonic barrier, why did she suddenly confess!" Ah Fei was a little confused by the second monk.
"This has to ask what Miss Tang said to her just now, if it weren't for the threat of her life, how could this Mrs. Zheng compromise." The rich old man's discerning eyes had already seen Tang Chu's tactics, but he didn't know what Tang Chu said that made Mrs. Zheng so afraid.
"It seems that this Miss Tang also has some ability, and her subordinates thought that she was going to swallow this dumb loss today!" Ah Fei exclaimed.
The rich old man also nodded, this Miss Tang's on-the-spot ability is indeed higher than that of ordinary boudoir women.
"Ahem, since Mrs. Zheng has admitted the guilt, then sign this piece of paper, and the case will be closed." The prefectural magistrate suddenly came to his senses and tried to finish the case eagerly.
After Mrs. Zheng and Zheng reluctantly signed and postponed, the civil official also publicly announced the punishment of the Zheng family.
"Mrs. Zheng instructed her subordinates to frame Tang Dong Restaurant, detained for five days, and compensated Tang Dong Restaurant for damage to 100 taels, although Zheng Ze was instructed by others, but the crime of subordination cannot be escaped, and he will be fined 20 boards."
After reading the Zheng family's indictments, the civil official ordered the two to be taken down from the court.
"The crime of desertion and the crime of provoking trouble for the five of you will be punished together, but on your own initiative to admit it, pay the deposit and wait for the settlement."
"Miss Tang, are you satisfied with this result?" The prefectural magistrate asked.
"Lord Hui County, you are discerning, the little girl admires it, and there is no objection to this result." Tang Chu replied respectfully.
"Okay, then this case is over, let's quit!" With the mighty sound of the officials on both sides, today's farce finally came to an end.
Tang Chu withdrew with Shuangxi and Zou Shiyan, and the onlookers also left one after another.
The case of the deserter has not yet been tried, but there is no interest in hearing it anymore.
These five people are not natives of Suizhou, since they are deserters, they belong to the military camp, and hearing too many secrets will not do them any good.
When leaving the yamen, a voice stopped Tang Chu and his party.
"Miss Tang, my master has a few words I want to say to Shopkeeper Zou, I don't know if it can be convenient." Ah Fei blocked Tang Chu's way.
When Zou Shiyan heard this, he looked back at Tang Chu, as if he was waiting for her to make a decision.
Tang Chu didn't hesitate, she had already seen that these people were not evildoers, so she asked Zou Shiyan to chat with them not far away.
"Zou Gongzi, I don't know if you have the idea of becoming a soldier?" The rich man asked.
"Soldiering?" Zou Shiyan pondered these two words repeatedly.
How can he not have an idea, a good man is determined to defend his family and the country, and defending the territory is the yearning in his heart, but because Zou Shichu is really young, he still needs him to take care of it, otherwise Zou Shiyan would have joined the military camp a long time ago.
thought so in his heart, but Zou Shiyan didn't show half of his eagerness.
He didn't know these people, and he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, he had been in Tangdong Restaurant for a long time, and even Zou Shiyan had learned to cover himself.
"Yes, with your strength, it is really useless in this small restaurant, it is better to go to the barracks, that is the world where my good son protects the country and the people, and displays his ambitions."
There was a faint encouragement in the words of the rich man, he was very optimistic about this young man, if he cultivated it well in his hands, he would definitely become a fierce general in time.
"Thank you for your appreciation, it's just that I'm worried too much, I'm afraid I won't have anything to do with the barracks." Zou Shiyan directly rejected the other party's invitation.
Looking at the other party's dress and temperament, Zou Shiyan knew that he might have missed an excellent opportunity, an opportunity that could immediately change the future of him and Chu'er, but he didn't regret it, at least at this moment, he just wanted to protect the person he put in his heart.
The rich old man saw that Zou Shiyan was unmoved, and even threw out tempting conditions, "Zou Gongzi, a good man should make contributions to his career, and work hard for a good future, with the talent of the son, he will definitely be promoted and make a fortune soon, and then won't he be happy!" ”
Zou Shiyan hesitated for a moment, but he still reluctantly refused, he still had to support Zou Shichu to study, after leaving here, who would take care of Chu'er? What should Tang Chu do if he encounters a bad guy again?
"Alas, since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to ask for it, this is a personal jade pendant of mine, if you want to join the army one day, take this token to the northwest military camp, and naturally someone will take you to see me."
The rich old man couldn't help sighing, he was a person who really loved talents, so he was very sad about the loss of Zou Shiyan.
Zou Shiyan took the jade pendant and made a big gift, claiming that as long as he went to join the army, he would definitely go to him.
Zou Shiyan knew that the other party appreciated him, so he was not hypocritical, and his subordinates thanked him again and again before leaving the county government with Tang Chu.
Looking at the figure in the distance, Ah Fei muttered, "Master, he will definitely regret it, he doesn't know what he missed now." ”
"It's okay, if there is fate, he will naturally go to the northwest, without fate, even if he tries his best, he can't change his mind." The rich old man said lightly.
He seemed to have already thought about it, and he didn't have much regret about it.
"Let's go, don't be entangled, there are still a few deserters waiting for us, and I don't know if these people have anything to do with the theft of military salaries."
"Master rest assured, his subordinates have already explained the county order here, these people need to be interrogated well, and they must not take a charter and withdraw their troops." Ah Fei said solemnly.
"That's very good, let's go, let's go and have a look."
The rich old man turned lightly, but he walked towards the county office, and at this time, the county magistrate had been waiting for a long time.
"My lord, my subordinates don't know Mount Tai, I don't know that you are in my Suizhou, I knew you were coming, my subordinates will definitely take you on a good tour, my Suizhou's customs are still worth seeing."
The county magistrate said polite words, and praised the scenery and folk customs of Suizhou to the rich and noble lord.
