Chapter 232: Nobles Help Each Other
Ma Teng saw that the case could not be tried all the time, so he suggested from the side: "Why don't the prefects send someone to search his house in Zhujian Lane?" As far as this official knows, that mansion used to be sold for a high price of 3,000 taels, but that glazed garden and ice cellar were worth a lot of silver! If it weren't for the greed for the silver in the treasury, how could Aishan have the silver to buy that house? I think the 100,000 taels of silver must be buried somewhere in that house! If you send someone to dig it, you will be able to dig it! ”
"I, ahem, ahem!" Ai Laohu didn't expect that he confessed his guilt, and Ma Teng would pull the matter to Qiu Se, so he was in a hurry to speak, but he choked so much that he couldn't help coughing. [No pop-ups. 】
"My lord, the house in Zhujian Lane was bought by a woman with her own dowry silver, and it has nothing to do with the Ai family, and it has been clearly written in the letter and the letter." Autumn Color couldn't help but open her mouth, if they really let them dig around, they can turn silver out without silver.
"Hmph, Ding, don't think that you forged a letter of harmony and divorce and it will be fine, you said that you are reconciled and separated, and this government has not been recorded, who can prove it?" Ma Teng felt that he was winning, and couldn't help but be proud, "Lord Prefect, if it's true or false, you can find out, why bother with this woman here?" "But I thought in my heart, as long as I let my people go in and search Bao'er, I can find out the stolen silver from the treasury.
"Who says no one can prove it?" Qiu Se retorted: "Adults can go to the streets and ask those who have read the gossip of the market, as early as the day after Ai Shan gave me the book and left the book, I printed it in the newspaper." ”
"Market Noise?" Governor Zhang asked puzzled.
"Yes, my lord, please see." Autumn colors presented the newspaper that had been prepared for the day.
Zhang Zhifu opened it and saw that there was everything on it, the fat powder shop that gave away vegetables from this restaurant, and the mythological story, this seems to be the story that the fourth aunt in the house was obsessed with during this time. And in the most conspicuous position of the newspaper, the contents of the letter and the book that were presented in the autumn color just now were printed.
Ma Teng next to him stretched out his head and saw it, but he didn't care, and sneered: "Ding, do you think that if you use a larger piece of paper to copy it again, it will be considered evidence?" ”
"My lord, not once." Qiu Se kindly corrected it, "My copy of "Market Miscellaneous News" is now printed out at least 100 copies a day. ”
"What?" Ma Teng frowned, forgive him for not knowing much about the newspaper, because he has been busy making evidence to frame Ai Laohu recently, so he doesn't know about the boiling newspaper in the city, and the other people in the mansion know about it, but no one dares to disturb him with such a trivial matter!
Governor Zhang kindly explained to him, "This newspaper is posted on the streets and alleys every day, and some people buy it and read it at home, so there are many people who read it." ”
Ma Teng choked, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "What kind of evidence is this, no matter how many people look at it, who can testify?" After speaking, Ma Teng also shouted at the people watching the excitement outside the lobby, "Can any of you come to testify that you have read this newspaper?" ”
The people who watched the excitement outside the hall invariably stepped back, joking, if you just watch the excitement, you can go to the hall to testify, who has nothing to do to play in the hall! It's a lot of luck.
"It's a ridiculous joke!" Seeing this, Ma Teng became even more proud, "Ding, you are taking this official ......"
"Ahem!" Governor Zhang next to him cleared his throat in a timely manner.
Ma Teng paused and continued: "Play monkey with the prefect!" ”
"Master Ma is not a monkey!" Qiu Cai added another sentence in his heart, it was 'just an animal', "The prefect is not a monkey." ”
Governor Zhang pondered for a while, how could he make these two people almost become monkeys when they were one by one?
"Shut up!" Ma Teng is also on fire, it's okay to talk about it yourself, and it's not right to let others say it! "Since no one can testify to you, this and the book was written a long time ago, I think you should obediently shut up and wait for the prefect to go and search the mansion!"
"How does Master Ma know that no one is willing to testify for me, so the woman will go and find a witness for you!" Qiu Se pondered in her heart that she might not be willing to help those merchants who advertised, so it would be good to go to Du Niangzi to testify, and then compensate her well.
Ma Teng said impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to instruct the prefect to handle the case there!" Watch your mouth! ”
Governor Zhang said with a smile: "Yes, only Master Ma has the right to instruct this official to handle the case!" ”
"This ...... Hehe. Ma Teng choked, smiled wryly, and hugged his fist at the prefect, "It's the lower officials who talk too much, but the adults don't have to listen to this Ding's nonsense, she went to find those people in the market to testify and colluded in advance, so it is not credible at all!" ”
Ding Bing, who was inquiring about the news in the crowd, hurriedly retreated when he heard this, looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention, and hurriedly ran to a carriage at the entrance of the alley diagonally opposite to whisper the situation in the hall, and finally asked a hundred years old, "Master, I am more faceless, do you want me to go in and give a testimony?" ”
Before the hundred years old could speak, Qianqian cried when she heard Ai Laohu being beaten, and struggled to get out of the car, "I'm going to find Daddy!" ”
Wuweizi next to her grabbed her and covered her mouth and comforted: "Miss, you can't go out." ”
Qianqian was still making a fuss, and Baisui glared impatiently, "If you dare to make trouble again, I will also throw you to the court to beat the board." ”
"You bullied me, I want to tell my mother!" Qianqian didn't know if she was scared by 100 years old or because of the news she had just heard, so she sat in the carriage and hugged her knees and cried quietly.
Now that the hundred-year-old people don't have time to pay attention to her, Wuweizi said to Ding Bing: "Listen to Ma Teng, that means you have to pull Mrs. into the water, you are afraid that it will not play a role if you introduce Bai Ding to testify." ”
"What then?" Ding Bing thought for a while and said, "Why don't I and Ding Yi rush in and kidnap the prefect and rescue the lord and wife?" ”
"Confused!" Wuwei slapped Ding Bing's head angrily, "Wouldn't we have to die in that way?" Besides, there are so many people in the government, how sure are a few of you? ”
"Ouch, what are we going to do?" Ding Bing rubbed his aching head and asked anxiously.
"What should I do, listen to my master." Wu Weizi found that Bai Sui had been staring at the lively crowd in front of the hall since just now and did not speak, and looked at his gaze curiously, and also found that something was wrong.
I saw that a few sturdy, bright-eyed, well-dressed men were squeezed into the crowd at some point, and they were not ordinary people at first glance, and among these people were a sick and weak man wearing a brocade cloak, and the boy also covered his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time and coughed twice, and he could only see his side in this direction, although it was only a side face, Wuweizi had a familiar feeling, and he must know him.
"Yin Huaizhi!" After watching it for a long time, the hundred-year-old finally recognized the identity of the sick and weak son.
At this time, the autumn colors in the public court were already helpless, and seeing that the prefect Zhang was about to throw a sign to search the mansion, he couldn't help but ridicule: "The two adults summoned the women to testify in court, but they didn't believe what the women said, and the women said that they wanted to find witnesses and said that we were colluding, so what are you going to summon me for?" You can't just judge the case according to your heart. ”
"Qiu Niang, don't say it." Ai Laohu saw that the faces of the two adults in the hall were getting darker and darker, for fear that the vindictive autumn color would suffer, so he couldn't help but hurriedly persuade him, "It's all because I'm not good at bothering you!" They can search if they want, and there is nothing at home anyway. ”
"I'm afraid that when they finish searching, it will become there! Otherwise, why would Master Ma have to search the house? Autumn glared at Ma Teng unceremoniously.
"Bold and ......" Before Ma Teng finished roaring and the shocking wood that was shot by Governor Zhang's mansion fell, someone outside the hall suddenly spoke.
"How about Ben Hou send someone to search for it?" As the words fell, Yin Huaizhi, who was seen at the age of 100, had already taken a long entourage and two strong men to the court, stood in the center of the hall, and looked directly at the two government officials in the hall.
"Who dares to trespass into the court, come ......" Ma Teng was angry by the autumn color, and he didn't hear what Yin Huaizhi said just now, and he was going to call the officials to arrest people.
Governor Zhang heard it clearly, regardless of Ma Teng, who was crazy there, he got up directly and confirmed it again respectfully, "You are?" ”
At this time, the elder entourage beside Yin Huaizhi took out a jade plaque, "My master is Wen Anhou, you can't be rude!" ”
As soon as the jade plate lit up, Ma Teng also came to his senses, and hurriedly followed Governor Zhang's mansion to kneel down and take over, and the officials next to him, who were eager to try to arrest people, also quietly retreated.
After seeing the ceremony, a chair was set up for Yin Huaizhi in the public court. Governor Zhangfu was a little embarrassed, and asked Yin Huaisheng with a smile, "Master Hou, the lower official ......?"
"You should try your case, and then you should try your case! Ben Hou is just looking for something to do with Mrs. Ding, you can quickly break this case. Ben Hou heard that he was going to send someone to search the house of the Ding woman just now, right? ”
Since Yin Huaizhi entered the court, Qiu Se and Ai Laohu Fang Su have been a little dazed.
Qiu Se didn't recognize Yin Huaizhi, but the long-term entourage next to him recognized it, it was the Qi manager who came to the house a few months ago to talk about cooperation, and he also understood what Yin Huaizhi said, I was afraid that he came to talk about cooperation; But Ai Laohu next to him didn't think so, he didn't care about the business of Qiu Se, so he naturally didn't know Qi Guan, and when he heard that sentence again, he couldn't help but feel jealous in his heart, and secretly wondered, when did Qiu Niang get in touch with Wen Anhou? Fang Su was purely envious, jealous and hateful, if he knew such a character......
Ma Teng chuckled in his heart, and secretly said Isn't this Ding family the daughter of a coolie family? How could it be related to Wen Anhou? Will you be able to achieve your plan smoothly?
Governor Zhang's mansion was better, but his spirit couldn't help but be highly nervous, for fear that his confused judgment would fall into the hands of the red man in front of the emperor, and when he heard him ask, he hurriedly got up and replied: "Yes, Master Ma said that Ding's newspaper is not enough to prove that she and Aishan have reconciled, and it is recommended to go to Ding's house to search." But Ding refused, and the lower officials were about to punish her for the crime of roaring in court. ”
Seeing this, Qiu Se hurriedly kowtowed to Yin Huaizhi, "Master Hou, it's not the people's women who roar in the court, it's really Lord Ma who targets the people's women everywhere, and they are not trustworthy." ”
"You!" Ma Tengqi's forehead was bruised, if it weren't for Yin Huaizhi here, he would have to give the autumn color a good look.
Yin Huaizhi smiled, and a warm glow like the sun bloomed on his thin and pale face, and then he looked at the Ding woman who had heard about it a long time ago, her appearance was not as good as the maid ring in the house, and her temperament was also a lot worse, but the appearance of arguing in the hall just now was really similar to that person. That's it, I came to Qingchuan to find her, so why not help her? "In that case, how about Benhou send someone to search?"
"Lord Hou is selfless, and the women are naturally trustworthy!" Qiu Se hurriedly put on a high hat for Yin Huaizhi.
So, Wen Anhou's people went to search the mansion, and they came back after a while, but naturally they didn't find anything. At this time, Ma Teng's face was already very ugly, and his heart was beating hard, and he didn't pull the autumn colors into the water, so what should I do next?
"Okay, since it has been proven that Ding has nothing to do with this case, then she should be able to leave, right?" Yin Huaizhi asked the two government officials who were sitting and standing.
"It's nature." After saying with a smile, Governor Zhang said to Qiu Se in the hall: "Ding, now that it has been proved that this case has nothing to do with you, you can go." ”
Qiu Se glanced at Ai Laohu, who was embarrassed and weak, and gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, my lord, the woman should stay here until the case is finished!" After all, the woman and Aishan used to be husband and wife, so as not to implicate me again! ”
