Chapter 401: Whether the number is wrong or not is another matter
"What's the problem?"
The person who asked the question was Fan Ronghua, Pei Shaowei in the court was not as arrogant as when he was outside, although they didn't defend Zhang Mengjie just now, and many of what they said was not the truth.
"I just want to know how much silver the shopkeeper of the 'Pei Ji Jade Shop' bought back the jade pendant for their young owner?"
"Fifty thousand taels." Pei Shaowei said without hesitation.
Zhang Mengjie said with a smile: "I don't know if it's really Pei Shaodong's jade pendant that is worth it or the loyalty of the shopkeeper of 'Pei Ji Jade Shop'." If this thing is taken to the pawnshop to pawn, let alone 10,000 taels, even a thousand taels is difficult to obtain. ”
Pei Shaowei only thought about the approximate number and number of silver tickets in Lu Deshun's hand. Although he didn't see the number of silver tickets in Lu Deshun's hand, he didn't believe that the number of silver tickets would be very large, so he guessed that the silver tickets in his hand were at most five thousand taels, and they had already used almost ten thousand taels of silver tickets, and the silver tickets in his hand were forty thousand.
But Pei Shaowei forgot that ordinary people, who would take so much silver to redeem inconsequential things? Zhang Mengjie was actually telling him that if they really stole his jade pendant, they would show the jade pendant to the people of 'Pei Ji Jade Shop'? Pei Shaowei was blocked by Zhang Mengjie and was speechless for a while.
"Bold woman, just now you clearly admitted to stealing Master Pei's jade pendant, but now you are arguing in front of adults, what is your intention?" The leading officer and soldier thought that they had been in the same stream with Pei Shaowei just now, and this dirty water had to be splashed on others: "You are disturbing the correct judgment of the adult."
"Hmph, it's obvious that someone framed it. It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief. Zhou Li muttered softly behind him: "Oh, no, it's the official thief who shouts to catch the thief."
Zhou Li seemed to be muttering, but his voice was heard clearly by everyone in the court. Fan Ronghua knew the cause of the incident as soon as he saw the ugly faces of Pei Shaowei and the leading officers and soldiers. Although he was annoyed that the two of them had caused him trouble, he knew very well that this officer and soldier had been with Fan Leiluo all along, and this matter must have something to do with his unsuccessful son. So I felt that Zhou Li's words were slapping him in the face, and naturally that face was even more ugly than Pei Shaowei and the leading officers and soldiers.
"No noise in the court!" Pei Ronghua looked at Zhou Lidao with a dark face.
Feeling Fan Ronghua's anger, Zhou Li closed his mouth a little unwillingly.
Seeing that the people below had no intention of refutating, Fan Ronghua said to Zhang Mengjie with satisfaction: "What else do you have to say about Lu Bantou's testimony?"
"Lord Fan, have you heard one of us admit to stealing Pei Shaodong's jade pendant from beginning to end? I don't know what basis they have to believe that we stole Pei Shaodong's jade pendant? The key is that Pei Shaodong's family really has such a valuable jade pendant? ”
He asked a question. Zhang Mengjie asked three questions in a row. What made Fan Ronghua helpless was that he couldn't refute it, because Pei Shaowei and Lu Bantou said a lot, but there was no real evidence, and even the jade pendant they had been talking about had never seen it. Of course, Fan Ronghua had long known that this valuable jade pendant did not exist at all.
He was playing dumb just now because no one mentioned it. Now that someone mentions it, he can only ask Pei Shaowei: "Yes!" Pei Shaowei. You keep saying that the jade pendant has returned to you, but what about the jade pendant? ”
"My lord, the grass people lost a jade pendant today. It is also a great fortune to be able to return to the hands of the grass people in such a short period of time, and the grass people naturally cherish this rare thing that has been lost and recovered. Pei Shaowei's face was not red and he was not panting: "As long as they take out the silver ticket in their hands and see if it is consistent with the number of jade pendants bought by the shopkeeper of the 'Pei Ji Jade Shop' that the grass people said, they will know whether what the grass people said is true."
Finally got to the point, this is also what Zhang Mengjie thought, although she didn't want to expose her money in front of so many people, but this is also the simplest and most direct way in front of her: "Is it that the number on the silver ticket on our body does not match the number you said, and the matter of this jade pendant is another matter?"
"It's nature." Pei Shaowei saw Zhang Mengjie's confident eyes, and his self-confidence began to be frustrated, but the matter was in court, and he could only carry it hard, in case the other party was just bluffing!
"Lu Deshun, take out all our silver tickets on you and show them to your lords."
"Isn't that?" In some cases, when they don't know how to call Zhang Mengjie, they will directly ignore the issue of title, but Lu Deshun still doesn't dare to take out so many silver tickets.
"It doesn't matter, Lord Fan is the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and he is in charge of the security of the capital and the safety of the people, and he will not take our own hard-earned silver." Zhang Mengjie soothed.
No one here has ever been to the court with any estrangement, but whether it is the rational side or the losing party, if no one supports him, he will stuff some necessary things in secret, so as not to suffer in the court, and there are really few people like Zhang Mengjie who do not let others get any benefits openly and secretly.
Fan Ronghua also knew that Zhang Mengjie was saying this to him, although he rarely accepted benefits from others, but people like Zhang Mengjie who didn't know what to do really made him unhappy: "Hmph, how can this mansion be the kind of mercenary petty person?"
Fan Ronghua knew in his heart that there must be tens of thousands of silver tickets on their bodies, but when the dozen or so silver tickets were presented in front of him one by one, he was still dumbfounded.
In order to make sure that he had not misread the number on the silver ticket, Fan Ronghua read it several times, and finally only said one word: "This?"
"How is it, Lord Fan, do you think this number is similar to what Pei Shaodong's family said?"
Of course, it's a lot worse, Fan Ronghua kept complaining in his heart, this difference is not a little, two points, but a number of more than ten times, he finally knew Lu Deshun's worries just now.
At this time, the most stressed were Pei Shaowei and Lu Bantou, although they didn't know the number of silver tickets Fan Ronghua saw, but the two of them could judge from Fan Ronghua's demeanor that it was definitely an amount they couldn't imagine, and the two of them kept thinking about how to fulfill their lies next.
"My lord, the grass people don't know why they have so many other silver tickets on them besides the silver ticket for the shopkeeper of the 'Pei Ji Jade Shop' to redeem the jade pendant. The fact that they were able to steal something so valuable from the grass people must have been something about valuables. As long as the adults check on them, they will definitely be rewarded. Pei Shaowei said with a very innocent look.
"My lord, I think what Young Master Pei said is, my lord, you don't know something, when the little one brought people to bring them to Jingzhao Mansion just now, their arrogance didn't take the adults in their eyes at all. My lord, for the sake of the peace of the capital, you have to check carefully! ”
Zhang Mengjie also ignored Pei Shaowei and Lu Bantou's false accusations, and calmly waited for Fan Ronghua's decision. (To be continued.) )
