Chapter 80: The Lion Opens His Mouth
It's just that she also knows the measure, and secretly glared at He Biao, signaling that as long as he punishes himself lightly, he can confess to the person who bought the murderer behind the scenes.
This time it was in He Biao's arms, he got her evidence from Xiang's hands, and after the painting, he first sent Ye Niangzi back, and hurriedly arranged for someone to go to Luoshenju to clarify the truth. After arranging this series of things, Fang Cai took Xiang's confession unhurriedly and came to the inn to wait for Lu Xiuyun to come back.
"Captain Hezhou, what do you mean by that? Do you think this Xiang family's confession must be the truth, and my cousin is the real murderer who bought the murderer to frame Ye Niangzi? Thisβyou don't want to think about it, how is it possible that she is a weak girl's house? β
Lu Xiuyun never expected that this He Biao was really a hard stubble, seeing his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and reminded himself that if this confession was sent to Ye Zhifu, what would happen if this confession was sent to Ye Zhifu, he couldn't wait to pull out the sword at his waist and fight him fiercely!
But he knew that he couldn't do it, it was not easy to deal with the oil scum in the yamen like He Biao, except for the silver.
So after some maneuvering, Lu Xiuyun had to swallow the vicious breath in his abdomen that was eager to erupt, and asked directly: "Captain He has always had a lot of appetite, I don't know what price you want to open this time?" β
He Biao saw that he was also considered a good Taoist, so he stopped going around the bend, stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Lu Xiuyun, and was afraid that he would not understand it, so he added: "He knows that Lu Gongzi is from a famous family, and even your cousin Su is also a big daughter." Therefore, 20,000 taels of silver are worthy of the identity of the two......"
"You're a lion's mouth!"
Twenty thousand taels! Such a huge amount couldn't help but make Lu Xiuyun's eyes red immediately.
God knows, although he is from a wealthy background, all the belongings that can be called around him on weekdays are only three or five thousand taels!
This He Biao is simply a bloodsucker!
But when he was angry, Lu Xiuyun knew better that this time he was indeed caught by He Biao. As a close minister of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if he is impeached in such matters, I am afraid that when the time comes, I am afraid that when the time comes, not only will I have to deal with the crime of covering up and the future will be ruined, but even the King of Qin may be implicated.
And all this is because of Su Linglong's cautious eyes and viciousness, as well as her ruthlessness and ignorance!
After thinking of this consequence, Lu Xiuyun finally calmed down completely. He glanced at He Biao, and saw that the other party looked very determined, and finally had to nod and said, "I don't have so much on hand now, so let's get together 5,000 taels for Lord He today." The remaining 15,000 taels will be delivered to adults within a month after I return to Beijing. β
When He Biao heard this, a Guan Gong's face instantly turned into a God of Wealth face, and he pushed over a Songxi note with a smile: "Since Mr. Lu said so, then He Mou has nothing to say." Please ask Mr. Lu to give He an IOU, so that He can go back to finish Xiang's case with peace of mind. Don't worry, let's hand over the IOU with one hand and the confession with the other, and both sides will be at ease, right? β
Lu Xiuyun looked at the confession in his hand and sighed secretly in his heart. Finally, he picked up the pen, and after getting up, he took the confession and tore it to pieces in front of He Biao!
After an afternoon of onlookers and discussions, when the notice of the state government was posted and the results of the case were announced to everyone, the fat shopkeeper and others who were originally called for questioning were also released.
When Fang Fei went downstairs and sat back in the carriage, Hongfu sent a thin envelope and said in a low voice: "This is just now sent by Mrs. Zhao, and she said by name that she wanted her to check it herself." β
Fang Fei opened the envelope and looked at it, and there were several silver tickets inside, which together amounted to exactly five thousand taels. She immediately smiled, and still handed it back to Hongfu and said, "You take it, and let the shopkeeper An deposit it in the name of the shop in a few days." Remember, this is not to be mentioned to anyone. β
Hongfu nodded, but still looked at Fang Fei in puzzlement. After listening to what happened to her, when she learned that her master was actually eating black inside, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her face was incredible: "Lady, although Su Linglong and Lu Gongzi are not good goods, but you squeeze Lu Gongzi's silver like this, I'm afraid it's not for money, but for other purposes, right?" β
Fang Fei glanced at her approvingly, gave her a thumbs up, and praised: "Clever! Of course, I am not rare with his thousands of taels of silver, but He Biao is rare! So, I'll let He Biao blackmail Lu Xiuyun. Who made him so righteous, knowing that Su Linglong hired a murderer to kill someone, he could still cover it up. β
Speaking of this, Hongfu couldn't help but nod angrily and echoed: "Yes! That Lu Gongzi looked at people and was still reasonable, but he didn't expect to be so unprincipled in life. And that Su Linglong, how can the girl's family have such vicious thoughts! Just to compete with other Ye Niangzi and be jealous, you can plant the crime of murder on her head! If the real culprit is not found, wouldn't Ye Niangzi have to die in vain? It's so hateful! β
Fang Fei smiled coldly in her heart, and only said: "This is nothing, she originally just wanted to deal with me, but it just happened that Gongzi Lu wanted to invite Ye Niangzi to dinner, which made her kill two birds with one stone." It's a pity, I'm not the same me in my previous life, and she's ...... Hehe, let's see if she will have the same luck as in her previous life! β
What she said was a little unclear, but looking at Fang Fei's face was unusually solemn, so she didn't continue to ask.
It's getting dark, and night is getting dark. Lights were lit up everywhere in Los Angeles, but the official roads outside the city were plunged into darkness.
Su Linglong was forced to leave Los Angeles and traveled all the way, and she had not suffered such a rush for several years since she came to the capital. And these coachmen and guards were all arranged by Li Yu, and they were in a hurry along the way and didn't listen to her orders at all, which added another layer of embarrassment to her originally holding her breath.
Finally saw that it was dark outside, but there was no inn in the surroundings, Su Linglong lifted the curtain and looked at it for a long time before the carriage finally stopped. Then the driver who drove the car didn't say a word, and even asked her to get out of the car and say that she was going to stay at a nearby farmer's house!
"What? Why stay in such a place? I don't, the people are very rough and dirty, it is said that their house is full of fleas, and I would rather spend the night in the car than go overnight! It's dirty! ββ
