Chapter 233: The case is finally closed, and the post station is waiting
Governor Zhang secretly scolded himself in his heart, and said that if it weren't for Wen Anhou's face, would you be okay so easily?
The smile on Yin Huaizhi's face also stiffened slightly, and then he said to Qiu Se casually: "In this case, then Ben Hou will go back to the post station first, and you will come to see Ben Hou as soon as possible after you are busy, and Ben Hou will be there within three days." [Full text reading. After speaking, he left with Steward Qi and the others.
"Hey, do you want to go to the cold house to sit for a while? Hou Ye? Zhang Zhifu also wanted to invite Yin Huaizhi to the mansion as a guest, but unfortunately the Hou Yeli ignored him, Zhang Zhifu sat down in a daze, and looked at the autumn color kneeling in the lower hall with a little jealousy, I don't know what kind of shit luck this woman took to climb up to Wen'an Hou.
After the next trial, the case was a bit deadlocked, although all kinds of evidence showed that the 100,000 taels of silver were embezzled by Ai Laohu, but it was still insufficient, where was the embezzled silver? Lihua Lane has already searched for it, and there is no one at all, and the Hou Ye sent someone to search for Zhujian Lane, and there is no one, is it possible to let him transport it back to his hometown?
According to the previous rules, it is completely possible to serve the punishment at this time, and if you don't know, you can call him out, but ...... Governor Zhang looked at the autumn color, but still did not move, and asked Ai Laohu instead, "Ai Shan, since you have confessed your guilt, you still tell the whereabouts of the 100,000 taels of silver, so as not to suffer from skin R again." The tone softened a little.
Ai Laohu is not stupid, put away the sour and astringent feeling in his heart, cheered up and shouted bitterness to the prefect of Zhang, "My lord, what Xia Guan just recognized was that the two account books were searched from Xia Guan's house, maybe it has been a long time, and the bad account book was forgotten by Xia Guan casually at home, but the thing of embezzling 100,000 taels of silver was really not done!" Please be aware of it! ”
"Aishan, you dare to retract your confession?!" Ma Tengqi's nose was crooked.
"Xia Guan really hasn't done it, my lord can't let Xia Guan carry this black pot just because he can't afford the 100,000 taels of silver!" So far, Ai Laohu doesn't care about any life-saving grace, and he has to save his life first.
"Presumptuous!" As soon as Ma Teng wanted to get angry, he heard Governor Zhang's throat cleared on the side, and barely held back his anger and said to Governor Zhang: "The adults are still grinding with him, and if you go directly to the big punishment, you won't believe him and won't recruit him." ”
"Now it's obviously a lack of evidence, why does Master Ma still bite Aishan? Could it be that there is some personal vendetta? "Autumn color, Wen Anhou just finished supporting himself, and said boldly.
"You ......" Ma Teng now has the intention of strangling Qiu Se, but he also cares about Yin Huaizhi in his heart, so he can only stare dryly.
Governor Zhang patted the shocked wood, annoyed that Qiu Se didn't take himself in his eyes so much, and said unhappily: "Ding, if you dare to disturb the court again, this official will be kicked out." ”
Qiu Se hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, "Yes, the folk woman knows her mistake." It's just that my lord, there are too many suspicious points in this case, Ai Shan only keeps accounts, and it is inevitable to make one or two mistakes once in a while, and he is not the only one who has the key to the treasury, why not send others to ask about the case? ”
"I don't need you to teach the official how to deal with the case!" Governor Zhang's Mansion was really a little annoyed, and when he saw the autumn color, he accepted it, and obediently knelt aside and stopped talking and watched Governor Zhang's trial of the case.
In fact, this case is mainly galloping Ma Teng, now since Ma Teng is not involved, it doesn't matter how it is judged, this Wen Anhou has a lot to do with the Ding family, and the Ding family seems to have a residual affection for Ai Shan, which is better to leave some leeway.
The final verdict was that Ai Laohu's accounting was chaotic, resulting in a serious discrepancy between the treasury and the book, and he was sentenced to three years in prison and fined 10,000 taels of silver. But Ai Laohu had 10,000 taels of property, and in the end, all the land he bought near Aijiazhuang was confiscated, including the house in Lihua Lane and the property in the house, Fang Su and others were limited to move out of the mansion within three days, and the autumn color has been reconciled, so naturally it has nothing to do with this case.
As for the lost silver in the treasury, Ma Teng was ordered to re-count the treasury and organize reconciliation. Ma Teng didn't expect to go around such a big circle and trap himself again in this troublesome case, and it would be bad to check it again! What to do? Is it possible to use the money you have earned over the years to make up for it? couldn't help but glared viciously at Qiu Se who was kneeling below, and it happened that Qiu Se was also looking at him, and sneered at him as if demonstrating, his liver hurt, and he was not angry, and he was really uncomfortable.
The case was judged, although Ai Laohu said that he would still go to prison, but now he saved his life, and the autumn color was no longer entangled, and after shouting a few words to the Qingtian Lord, he left the court with Fang Su.
Fang Su was really stunned now, didn't he originally say that he wanted to make the autumn colors nothing? Why is it that in the end, he is going to be swept away? At the beginning, she could still follow Ma Teng's back in the hall and pour dirty water on Qiu Se's body, but since Ai Laohu's blood was blurred, she flinched a little, but she didn't dare to say that all this was Ma Teng's idea, and later Wen Anhou appeared to support Qiu Se, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, but she didn't want to get such a result in the end.
"Fang Su, you stop." Qiu Se walked up in a few steps, pulled Fang Su's arm, and dragged her away from the door of the mansion.
"What are you doing?" Fang Su shook off the autumn color vigorously, gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't see it, you still have a leg with Wen Anhou, I underestimated you." ”
The Jia family, who followed Fang Su, chased after him and protected Fang Su behind him, glaring at Qiu Se fiercely, "If you dare to touch my wife, I will call someone to arrest you now!" ”
"Get out!" Seeing that Jia Shi didn't move, Qiu Se said to Fang Su, "I advise you that it's better to let her leave, lest it will be bad for her to know your secret for a while." ”
Own secrets? Fang Su's heart pounded, and he secretly wondered: Could it be that this autumn color knows about himself and Ma Teng? According to Qiu Se's words, he drove Jia away, "What do you have to say......" Before Fang Su's words were finished, he received a heavy slap in the face.
"You dare to hit me!" Fang Su rubbed his face, first shocked, then annoyed, "Slut, I'll fight with you." As he spoke, he rushed towards the autumn colors like crazy. But where is the opponent who is often pampered on weekdays, she is often working in autumn, and she is soon beaten on the head and screams.
Jia Shi saw that his master was suffering and wanted to come over to help, but he didn't know who pushed him, and then he fell to the ground and couldn't get up as soon as his leg was numb.
Enough of the autumn color, she threw down her letter to Fang Su, who had a blue nose and swollen face, "This is given to you by your man, don't take it well, and you can still point to it if you marry in the future!" With that, he walked away.
Fang Su endured the pain on his face, opened the crumpled paper, and saw that it was a letter of harmony, but he didn't have his signature and date yet, and after being stunned for a while, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but scold Qiu Se for not being human. If she had given this to herself earlier, why would she be living on the streets?
Qiu Se walked two steps and met Ding Bing, followed him to the carriage, rubbed his knees and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Mother!" Qianqian threw herself into her arms, raised her red and swollen eyes and asked, "Where's Daddy?" ”
"Qianqian, good! Daddy won't be back in a few days. Autumn color endured the discomfort in her legs and comforted her daughter.
"Teach that kind of woman, why do you want to do it yourself? I didn't get my hands dirty. The hundred-year-old disagreed.
"Sometimes it's more relieving to do it yourself!" Autumn was in a relaxed mood and rubbed the top of her son's head.
Bai Sui frowned, didn't care about the movements of the autumn color, and asked himself, "What are you going to do now?" Why did Wen Anhou suddenly come to you? And are you just going to leave him alone in prison? ”
Qiuse glanced at her daughter and said to the hundred-year-old, "Let's talk about it when I go home." ”
As soon as he entered the house, Qiu Se heard the howl of the princess like a pig, "What's the matter?" She couldn't help but ask strangely.
Bai Sui pursed his lips and did not squeak, and Ding Bing, who was next to him, told him what happened after the autumn color left in the morning.
"Oh." Qiu Se was slightly stunned, and then said: "It is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, a few of them can leave if they want to, you return the deed to them in a while, and each person will give them another fifty taels of silver." ”
"It's too cheap for them." Ding Bing pursed his lips and muttered to go down to do something.
After the rest of the family gathered in the study, Qiu Se glanced left and right, and asked strangely, "Where is Zhang Banxian?" Why didn't you see him? ”
"I saw an acquaintance at the gate of the yamen just now, and he went to run errands." Bai Sui looked at the autumn color road meaningfully.
"Oh." Qiu Se thought for a while, "Then Ding Jia, prepare a generous gift to find the prefect of Zhang, put down the gift regardless of whether you see anyone or not, and then say that I will wait for two days to see him; Then I'll prepare a gift, and I'm going to the post station soon. Autumn Colors commanded one after another.
After everyone went down, he said: "Yin Huaizhi knows Wuweizi, he has to avoid it, and he won't come back these days." ”
"Wuweizi?"
"It's Zhang Banxian!" Bai Sui rolled his eyes, "Also, what are you going to send when you go to see Yin Huaizhi?" There is no shortage of rare treasures, and it is already past noon, so there is no time to visit. ”
Qiu Seyi frowned, "How can there be so much to say?" After thinking about it, he said, "Then let's choose some vegetables from the greenhouse." ”
The corners of the hundred-year-old's mouth twitched, thinking that it was the first time he had heard of giving gifts to people, but this was not within his scope of concern, what he was thinking about was another thing, Yin Huaizhi was known for his extreme intelligence, how could he suddenly come to Qingchuan Mansion for the autumn colors? Even for board painting and movable type printing, it's impossible! Just send a competent steward.
Because of these questions in his heart, when the autumn color was ready, the hundred years old also got into the carriage, and Ding Jia drove the car to the post station with the autumn color mother and son.
In the car, Qiu Se glanced at the hundred years old and asked a little puzzled: "Is it okay for you to go to see him like this?" Aren't you afraid of being seen by him? ”
"Can anyone connect who I am now with who I used to be?" Baisui laughed and said: "I'm afraid that you will fall into other people's ways, and in the door of the mansion, a word may be a trap." ”
"Thank you so much." Autumn Colors giggled, not caring at all.
Came to the post station, handed over the 100-year-old let prepare the sticker, waited for a while before someone came out, and it was still an acquaintance to take care of things.
"Ah, it's really unfortunate that Mrs. Ai came, my lord's health is not good, and he has the habit of taking a nap every afternoon, and he just fell asleep at this time. You see...... Why don't you go back and come back another day? ”
"Uh......" Qiu Se paused, and then laughed again: "If it's not troublesome, I'll wait here for a while." ”
Steward Qi didn't have any other expressions, but said to Qiu Se: "Then Madame, please come in." ”
So, Qiu Se took the hundred years old into the post station, was taken to a room by the Qi steward, called the post man to the tea, said goodbye and left.
Qiu Se held his son and waited in the house for three times to store tea, went to the thatched house once, and waited for the sun to set, Wen Anhou still did not come out.
The hundred-year-old's face had become very ugly, and he whispered to Qiu Se: "He is deliberately making things difficult for you, how can he leave the female guest until the sun sets?" Wouldn't that ruin your reputation! ”
"Bad is bad!" Autumn color doesn't care much about this, "It's better to have no reputation than no life!" At this time, if you don't have a backer, you have to find one, let alone this ready-made! ”
100-year-old silently, yes, if there is really a scandal between Autumn Color and Wen Anhou, let alone a Ma Teng, no one in the entire Qingchuan Mansion will dare to touch her, but what will Ai Laohu think in the future! There are thousands of people who marry in the future will also be affected! For the first time, he suddenly regretted that he was no longer the most powerful person in his previous life!
