Chapter 20: Look at You're Still Stealing Chickens

"Bold Pan Fuqiang, you don't know that you have committed a crime, but this official knows! A major robbery occurred in Nanyang, a neighboring county, in which some people were killed, most of whom have died. According to the official report, a group of bandits committed the crime, Nanyang and Xiangyang have all of them, Nanyang has been punished, Xiangyang has not yet been identified, Nanyang confessed, saying that Pan Fuqiang participated in the case and got a lot of silver. Nanyang Mansion has sent an official document to assist in the investigation, and the official naturally needs to assist in checking it, so the official came to the mansion to take a look, so as to find out the truth and give the Nanyang Mansion an errand, so as not to make the same mistake next time, avoid arresting the wrong person, and avoid arbitrarily adjudicating the law. Yin Jian said angrily.

When Pan Fuqiang and his wife heard this, their faces were as frightened as earth, and they trembled, and Pan's wife said: "Master, wronged, the shopkeeper of my family has been at home, and he has not gone anywhere, so it is impossible to rob him." He is even afraid of killing a chicken, how can he harm people? ”

"Bold! The official didn't ask you, why did you speak? Yin Jian said.

"My wife is right, sir. I haven't been anywhere for the past few days. Nanyang's case has nothing to do with the small one! Pan Fuqiang said.

"Nanyang said that he gave you a jar of silver, specifically two hundred ingots, you must have hidden the silver." Yin Jian said.

"Lord Qingtian, they talk nonsense, and the small ones don't have these silver at all. If you don't believe it, you can check it. If found out, the small ones are punished severely. Pan Fuqiang said.

Yin Jian saw Pan Fuqiang's attitude, thought to himself, had an idea, and secretly admired Bu Huishu's wisdom.

"Okay, this is what you said personally, and the official will not embarrass you, as long as you find out, you are willing to be punished. That's a lot easier. I will now let everyone start searching your home, if you find it, you will admit punishment, if you can't find it, we will go back to our home, and we will investigate the crime of false accusation in Nanyang. Yin Jian said.

"Big master, the little one doesn't dare to lie, he definitely didn't participate in the robbery case, Nanyang is purely falsely accused and framed. It's convenient to tell the small one, who reported the small one? Pan Fuqiang asked.

"It's definitely inconvenient, this official and Nanyang Mansion have to protect the whistleblower for many years, if you can't have information, you don't care about the whistleblower, if you don't care, there will be no whistleblower in the future, and if you encounter a difficult case, it will indeed take more effort." Yin Jian said.

"Master, Pan Fuqiang will definitely not hide it and not report it. It is done by the small, and the small one affirms to admit it, and it is not done by the small one, and it is definitely denied. Pan Fuqiang said that he wanted to dissuade Yin Jian's wrong move by expressing his position, he thought it was wrong and wronged a good person, but Yin Jian didn't think so.

"Do you want this official to search, if you do, it means that you have a good attitude! If you don't want to, it means that you have a ghost in your heart. Yin Jian said.

"The little one is bright and upright, he walks right, he is not afraid of the shadow, he hopes that the big man will not damage his reputation, obviously it is not a small robbery, but if you want to say a small robbery, a small reputation is bad, and the reputation of adults also has an impact." Pan Fuqiang said.

"Why do you say that?"

"The little one really didn't rob it, well, if you don't believe anything, then search it!" Pan Fuqiang said that when he saw this situation, where was there room for negotiation? Instead of grinding out the skin of his mouth, it is better to let them look for it, it is impossible to find it, he thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a sly smile hung on it.

"Search-" Yin Jian gave an order, and everyone began to act.

Everyone began to search, inside and out, the cracks in the wall, as well as the courtyard wall, the pig pen and the cattle pen, the chicken shed and the duck shed, all looked for it, it seems that Pan Fuqiang still has a sense of sideline business, breeding a lot of things, these things can be turned into money, and it is difficult to do business without capital.

searched everywhere, but there was none, Pan Fuqiang showed a smug face, and he just sang and danced.

Yin Jian understood at a glance that there was a place, there must be one. The yard is dug everywhere, no, then one place is the most likely.

Yin Jian saw that everyone was depressed, so he asked, "Are you about to give up?" ”

"My lord, nowhere else."

"Go under the bed and see if there's any floating soil?" Yin Jian asked.

It didn't matter if he asked, after asking, Pan Fuqiang's face immediately turned pale, and he said sharply: "My lord, this is not appropriate, right?" The husband and wife couch is personal privacy, and adults infringe on the privacy of small people, which is unreasonable! The small one begs the adult to take back the order and not to search it, or the bed of the small couple, otherwise, the consequences will be serious. The little ones have to complain to the governor about the adults! ”

"What's the governor's last name?"

"The surname is Yao."

"That's right. You are very well informed. Whether you complain or not, listen to it. Yin Jian said.

"Alright! The little one knows that the adult has a good relationship with the Yao Governor's Mansion. The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. Then go search for it. Pan Fuqiang said.

"You're kind of a sensible person. Come on, go under his bed. Yin Jian said.

"Good!" Everyone carried torches into Pan Fuqiang's bedroom.

Lifted the bed, took a torch to shine, and sure enough, I found that there was floating soil under the bed, and obviously there was an article below.

Someone reported it to Yin Jian, and he ordered it to be dug up.

Sure enough, before I dug twice, I came across a hard object, and the more I dug it, the bigger it became, and finally I dug out a jar, and when I opened it, it turned out to be snow-white silver.

Yin Jian was furious, everyone was overjoyed, and Pan Fuqiang was very panicked.

"The bold thief has committed the crime of robbery, and the stolen goods are still quibbling in front of him! The bold woman, shielding her husband, and her husband are guilty of the same crime, left and right, take down the two together, shackle strongly, send them to Nanyang, and kill them together to show the public! Yin Jian said angrily.

When the two of them heard this, they were immediately frightened, like mud on the ground, unable to move, as if they were already dead!

After a long while, Pan Fuqiang whispered, "This is not stolen goods. ”

"Bold! Isn't this what swag is? Yin Jian shouted.

"This is not stolen goods, sir, this is the property left by my father when he died. Please be careful! Pan Fuqiang said.

"Nonsense! The silver left by your father has long raised your younger brother Pan Fugui. A few days ago, your younger brother Pan Fugui also went to the county government to sue you, saying that you didn't have the silver left for his father, and you said that the silver had already been spent, what else did you have to say? Yin Jian said.

"Wronged, wronged, wronged! Big man! That's a lie. This silver is indeed the silver left by the father, and not a single ingot of silver is spent, and it is to be divided when the younger brother grows up. It's just that the little wife is greedy, so she doesn't plan to give the little brother the money, and the little one doesn't stop it, but also wants to take it for herself. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't have this thought. This greed really kills people! Pan Fuqiang said.

"Nonsense. That's what you mean, why did it come to me? Master, what Pan Fuqiang said was not right, it was he who said that he didn't want to share it with his younger brother, and I also said that it was shared, Pan Fuqiang said it was not right. Pan Fuqiang's wife said.

"Bold Pan Fuqiang, your wife said it was your idea, what else do you have to say?" Yin Jian said.

"Wronged! Master, the master is the official of Qingtian's parents, and he can find out who is lying. Please make a clear decision! Pan Fuqiang said.

"You husband and wife, up to now, you are still hard-mouthed, do you have to hit the board to be happy?" Yin Jian asked.

"Sir, this silver is really left by my father to our brother. If you lie, you are killed by thunder, electrocuted, hit by a carriage, bitten to death by a tiger, you can't give birth to a son, you choke on cold water, you go out with an umbrella but the sky is sunny, you don't bring an umbrella but it rains, you are deceived when you buy things, you can't be fooled by a loss, you are worried every day, and you are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door when you sleep. Pan Fuqiang said.

"Alright, alright, don't say it, you admit that this silver belongs to your father?" Yin Jian asked.

"That's right, my father left it to us brothers." Pan Fuqiang said.

"Okay, Shuli, write down what he said, and then sign it, you can't go back." Yin Jian said.

"Never turn back, do what you say. Spit fell on the ground and smashed a hole. Pan Fuqiang and his wife said in unison.

"Okay, pass on Pan Fugui!" Yin Jian ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Jin Long agreed, and then went out, and after a while, Pan Fugui arrived.

"Sir!" Pan Fugui shouted.

"Pan Fugui, your brother Pan Fuqiang has admitted that the silver is yours, here is his confession, do you need this silver?" Yin Jian asked.

"Yes, sir! Thank you for your insight and justice for the little one! Pan Fugui said.

"No thanks, if you want to thank God, thank God for having eyes." Yin Jian said.

"The master is the master of the blue sky!" Pan Fugui said.

"Alright, don't be flattering, you can take half of the silver here, so that you can live! In the future, if the county government needs you to help arrest criminals, you must also be like before, and this official will definitely be rewarded! Yin Jian said.

"Thank you, sir! Be sure to help, if necessary, even if you stick a knife in both ribs, you will not hesitate. Pan Fugui said.

"Come on, give Pan Fugui half of the silver. In addition, he was rewarded with ten taels of silver as a reward for helping to catch the thief last time. Yin Jian said.

When the officials heard the command, they did as they were told. Pan Fugui was happy, the official helped him carry the silver home, Pan Fuqiang and his wife were sad, but they couldn't show their displeasure, but forced a smile, and were careful with Yin Jian, never daring to say a word.

Everyone was just about to disperse, Yin Jian was about to take everyone away, but suddenly, a woman was calling outside, and everyone didn't dare to move their positions, thinking that something big had happened.

The woman's shrill voice came from far and near, and when she came in, she didn't know it, and the woman was carrying a bag, and she didn't know what it contained.

"Who's coming?"

"The wife of the little girl Pan Fugui."

"Your husband has gone back." Yin Jian said.

"The little girl knows."

"You know it's still coming? What's wronged? Yin Jian asked.

"There is no grievance."

"There are no grievances. What do you do? ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Not necessarily."

"At the same time, thank you brother and sister-in-law!"

"Why?"

"Just now the little girl's husband came home and told him what had happened here, and brought home the silver with white flowers. The little girl was amazed, and then knew that the little girl's husband did not thank her. ”

"Thanks to whom?"

"Thank you brother and sister-in-law."

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for nurturing your kindness! Because the little girl's husband died when she was seven years old, her brother and sister-in-law raised her parents on her behalf, and she had the grace of nurturing. ”

"That's it! So what to thank you for? ”

"There was nothing in return, but fifty taels of silver as a token of thanks. Because the family is difficult, the silver that is shared has to be used as business as capital. Pan Fugui's wife said.

"Yes, you are a grateful and reasonable woman. With a daughter-in-law like you to assist your husband, your husband will not cause trouble for you, but will make your family more prosperous. Yin Jian said.

"Thank you, brother-in-law! Thank you, brother-in-law! As a brother and sister-in-law, I didn't fulfill my obligations, ashamed and ashamed! This money is even an apology from my brother and sister-in-law! Absolutely not. Pan Fuqiang's wife said.

Yin Jian didn't expect that in a while, Pan Fuqiang and his family would have these changes! As long as Pan Fuqiang's wife is not greedy, there is no problem. Pan Fuqiang and Pan Fugui are also brothers, and they will not turn against each other for money, after all, blood is thicker than water.

The case was closed, and all parties signed the transcript.

In the end, under the auspices of Yin Jian, Pan Fugui got the inheritance he deserved, and it was a good story for a while, and people easily thought of Bu Huishu as the one who gave advice behind the scenes.

Pan Fuqiang also regretted that he should have given him his younger brother's silver a long time ago, and there was no such thing, it was really a shame to throw it home, but there was no regret medicine.

After they left, Pan Fuqiang's wife wept bitterly, saying that her husband was useless.

"Why didn't you say it just now? And now? Aren't you ashamed? Pan Fuqiang asked.

"I didn't expect Yin Jian to have a capable person there, but if he wasn't a capable person, he couldn't take away the silver. We've all been fooled. Pan Fuqiang's wife said.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, paper can't hold the fire, you have to give people the money you should give, and you can't rely on it. Pan San is going to get married soon, let's do it well, collect the gift money, and make up for it, isn't it much better? Pan Fuqiang said.

"If you expect to pay for the gift, you have to drink the northwest wind. What I received now, I will return it later. You see, which family doesn't have a red and white celebration? Don't you have to give a salute? Pan Fuqiang's family said.

"If you can do a little calculation, you have to look at the long-term, in the future, the third son will have grandchildren, won't our family be prosperous? Besides, the third daughter-in-law is a famous lady and has a solid family, so the dowry is unacceptable, and you can't look down on the gift money, and the dowry is unacceptable. You don't like this either? Pan Fuqiang asked.

"That's right, I didn't expect the dowry, or you're amazing! If you look far away, you are worthy of being the master and the shopkeeper. Pan Fuqiang's family said.

"It's not easy to get your compliment. As for me, I thought about it, and the families who usually give gifts in a hurry will make a list, and then, for those who may want to give gifts in the future, they will also make a list, and send them one by one, the more the merrier, the more the gift money, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to pay it back in the future. Pan Fuqiang said.

"Look at what you said, do you want to do good deeds and leave one or two families without sending invitations? Definitely have to be sent. Some of them received invitations, and they might not want to come. Whether they come or not is their business, please don't invite us or not. It's best to invite, if they are invited, they don't come, people don't come, and gifts don't come, then I'm sorry, if they have something to do in the future, we pretend not to know, even if we receive a hundred invitations, we won't go. Pan Fuqiang's family said, slyly smiling.
