Chapter 108: Invitation to Merit
Xin Changhe glanced at the eldest lady impatiently, "Tell the point." "
The eldest lady was startled, and hurriedly put away the smile on her face, "Yes, my lord, there are five thousand taels of silver on the inner wall of Li Ding's study, which are built in the wall, and you can see it if you smash the wall." "
Xin Changhe waved his hand, "Go and have a look." "
Li Ding glared at the eldest lady angrily, the silver he had worked so hard to hide, he thought that he had hidden it from everyone's ears and eyes, but he didn't expect to let the most unfavored eldest lady know, and he also took his silver to ask for credit in front of the state capital.
Li Ding felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
"Li Ding, in view of your tax evasion is the most serious, send Cangzhou and go on the road tomorrow."
Li Ding felt that the world was spinning, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, he finally started from scratch, in order to be able to eat big fish and meat every day, drunk and dreamed of dying in the gentle township, and suddenly sent to Cangzhou, where there is not even a bird, it is better to directly sentence him to know hanging.
Cangzhou, that's also a place for people?
Everyone knows that Cangzhou is full of yellow sand, people die of heat during the day, freeze to death at night, even march to fight, generally do not go to Cangzhou, let him go to Cangzhou, isn't this a death penalty in disguise.
He rolled his eyes, thinking of the eldest lady's meritorious service just now, and hurriedly followed, "Lord Xin, the grass people also want to make meritorious contributions, please give the grass people a chance." "
Xin Changhe nodded, yes.
"My lord, as far as the grass people know, the real boss behind the food restaurant is actually Jian Xiuwen, he controls the operation of the restaurant, and the bills of the restaurant will pass through his hands, in fact, he is the one who benefits the most."
Li Ding gritted his teeth, anyway, Lao Tzu is going to be assigned to Cangzhou, is there anything more serious than being assigned to Cangzhou?
Xin Changhe lowered his head and groaned, "Do you have any evidence?" "
Li Ding nodded like pounding garlic, "That Jian Xiuwen is elusive, it would be good to stay in the restaurant one day out of ten days, and he is very careful and cautious in doing things, and rarely leaves any evidence, but the small one has a heart, and the evidence is in my arms." "
Xin Changhe gave the cha wei next to him a look, and the cha wei walked over and took out a bill from Li Ding's arms.
"This bill is proof?" Xin Changhe flipped through it and saw that except for some places blacked out, there was no difference from the usual ledger.
Li Ding nodded hurriedly, "My lord Mingjian, this account book has actually been altered by Jian Xiuwen, and the numbers on it have basically been manipulated. "
"How can you prove that this ledger is Jian Xiuwen's handiwork?"
Li Ding was stunned when he heard this, "This ...... I saw it with my own eyes anyway. "
Xin Changhe shook his head and handed the account book to the people below, just relying on a blackened account book, he wanted to bring down Jian Xiuwen, it was a fool's dream.
"My lord, my lord, please believe me, the grass people are true, and they will never dare to hide it."
Li Ding was hoarse, and the eldest lady next to him looked at him half resentfully, half gloating, and finally said, "My lord, although Li Ding is more greedy for money and lustful, he is still very talented in account books, since he can see that the account books are fraudulent, he will not make mistakes." "
Li Dingpo glanced back at her with relief, regretting what he had done before, and in the end, it was not the kiln sister of Yingge Academy, or his bad wife, a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of his eye, and slammed it on the ground.
If he was given a chance to do it all over again, he would still be willing to beg for a living under her stick all day long.
Xin Changhe thought about it in his heart, then put an arrest warrant and ordered the guards to arrest Jian Xiuwen and put him in prison to await interrogation.
Li Ding cried a handful of snot and tears, regardless of his usual image, "Chunniang, I'm sorry for you, if you have an afterlife, you must find a good family, don't meet me again, delay you for a lifetime." "
The eldest lady's name is Chunhua, and no one has called her for a long time, her eyes were full of tears when she heard this, and she nodded, "You inhuman brute, you finally know who is good to you." "
When Xin Changhe saw this scene, his heart was also greatly touched.
The eldest lady had already been specially given to stand, and at this moment she knelt down in front of Xin Changhe, "My lord, the people don't want to have a courtyard, they just want to match my husband and Jun Jun closer, so that the people can join him, eat chaff and choke vegetables, and live the rest of the days, please become a national daughter." "
Xin Changhe closed his eyes, looked at the spring flowers who were crying into tears, and then looked at the concubine who followed behind him, he was a little impatient in his heart, and waved his hand, "Then send it to Liangzhou, the two of you will go over together, from now on, Li Ding will not accept concubines, and the two of you will go on the road together tomorrow." "
"Master Xie." Chunhua knelt on the ground, blood already oozing from her forehead.
Li Ding felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Chunhua, why are you so stupid." "
Chunhua put away her tears, "What are you yelling at, surnamed Li, you will have a good life in the future." "
Li Ding shook his body, how could he have a bad premonition.
In the prison, Jian Xiuwen looked pampered and not surprised, sitting quietly in the prison, looking at the book in his hand and drinking boiled water, as if he completely regarded the prison as his study.
"Jian Xiuwen," Xin Changhe rushed back from Li Ding's house, and when he saw Jian Xiuwen calm, he couldn't help frowning, "You're comfortable." "
"My lord," Jian Xiuwen put down the book, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The grass people don't know what crime they have committed, why they were suddenly put into prison, the grass people have not committed anything in most of their lives, and please make it clear." "
The corners of Xin Changhe's mouth twitched, "Jian Xiuwen, you are the real boss of the food building." "
"Why do you say this, the food building is jointly built by the boss of Jixiang Building and Ruyi Building, and it has nothing to do with the grass people, if you really want to break it up, it is just that the grass people have given ideas to the boss of Jixiang Building and Ruyi Building."
Xin Changhe squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, this Jian Xiuwen spoke without leakage, so he couldn't grasp the handle.
"Some people said that they saw you coming in and out of the food building, and they also changed the account book and took away a lot of silver, but is there such a thing?"
Xin Changhe was not angry, and stared at Jian Xiuwen who was kneeling on the ground with a pair of tiger eyes.
"My lord really wronged the grass people, you just gave the grass people ten guts, and the grass people didn't dare to do this kind of corrupt thing," Jian Xiuwen thought that his hands and feet were clean, and he had already personally destroyed the evidence before Li Ding was arrested, he knew that Li Ding only had a tampered account book in his hand, as long as he didn't admit it, Xin Changhe couldn't do anything about him, so he dared to pack the ticket like this, "Someone must have wronged the grass people, and the grass people can also confront that person face to face." "
In a word, Xin Changhe was speechless.
He looked at Jian Xiuwen in a daze, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, this person was obviously not honest, but he just had no evidence to convict him.
He patted the pear blossom chair under him, "Bold, Jian Xiuwen, don't think that your hands and feet are clean, I can't do anything to you, you'd better be able to bless yourself to be clean in the future, otherwise ......"
Xin Changhe's eyes were threatening, and he looked at Jian Xiuwen.
Jian Xiuwen straightened his waist and looked honest, "What the adults said is that the little ones must be responsible for their duties in the future, and they are definitely not corrupt and bend the law." "
Jian Xiuwen stayed in the cell for two days, and was finally released due to insufficient evidence.
When Lin Feng heard that Jian Xiuwen had been released, he sent a secret guard to keep an eye on him, for fear that Jian Xiuwen would jump off the wall in a hurry and take a risk.
On the other side, the flower shopkeeper of Jixianglou looked up at the sky with a helpless face.
The shopkeeper Lan next to him also followed his example and sighed.
"What are you doing with me?" The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper Lan.
"Come and drink something with me in the evening, I'll have a treat." The old man of the Lan shopkeeper has a fat face and an affectionate face.
The shopkeeper remembered the rumors two days ago, and his face changed, "The surname is Lan, you shut up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is different from you." "
"How do you know it's different, it's actually all the same," Shopkeeper Lan sighed, this is not known to be the first time he sighed today, "We can't fight Liu Tian." "
"Shopkeeper Li, that old immortal has withdrawn?" The shopkeeper clenched his fists, looked at the Lotus Tower standing not far away, and his face gradually became a little distorted, "This one is unproductive, but he is running fast." "
"Not only the shopkeeper Li, but also those small restaurants, all of them have withdrawn their investment, and now, except for the two of us, there are only a few people left in the entire food building."
The shopkeeper Lan continued, "I said that we have been fighting for most of our lives, and we have not distinguished a superior, as soon as Liu Tian comes, we will not be able to do it, it seems that it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, perhaps, this is the fate of Ruyi Building, I plan to go to the mountains and rivers these days, relax and relax, and adjust." "
The flower shopkeeper sniffed, "Actually... You're not useless either. "
Lan shopkeeper: "......"
"Alas, forget it, it seems that this is all fate, fate is destined to have this calamity, but I don't know how to meet the ancestors of the Hua family when I get there."
"What do you want to do so much, I said dead fatty, do you want to follow me to the mountains and rivers."
There was some hesitation in the eyes of the shopkeeper Hua, everyone knew that the shopkeeper Lan was a rabbit master, and he didn't like women and men, if he followed him, there would definitely be some gossip.
Shopkeeper Lan saw his thoughts, and chuckled in a low voice, "I didn't expect even you to believe it." "
"What?"
"Don't pretend, it's written on your face, stay away from me, I can see it," Shopkeeper Lan covered his lips and chuckled, his movements were indescribably charming.
The shopkeeper tightened his throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, mother, how could he like a ladylike man like Shopkeeper Lan.
The point is, how could he possibly like a man?
Shopkeeper Lan smiled lightly, "The surname is Hua, you are too stupid, after so many years, you didn't even find out that I was a daughter." "
The shopkeeper was stunned, he looked up and down the figure of the shopkeeper Lan, and found that he was scary thin all over his body, and there didn't seem to be a few taels of meat on his chest, he looked like a weak scholar, like this, he said that he was a woman.
