Chapter 64: The Last Struggle
Ren Xing didn't expect that the future of the door-to-door business was bright, and the brighter the place, the heavier the shadow.
This person is a bad star, and before he is happy, he makes people have the heart to die.
The two fugitives were captured and escorted to the mouth of the old river.
Ren Xing paid close attention to the progress of this case, thinking that Laohekou would be a place to expand his business in the future, and he should choose a good address to open a new branch, let the branch join, and reap the profits by himself.
Fu Ying announced in a high-profile manner that she had captured two criminals who had fled to a neighboring county and was ready for public trial. This matter quickly reached Ren Xing's ears.
He followed the case closely.
Fu Ying had a high-profile trial, so she asked the second offender: "Why did you go to a neighboring county?" ”
"Because there are people who take refuge there."
"Who is it?"
"Boss Ren."
"Which boss?"
"It's Ren Xing, the owner of the rice shop on Renjia Street."
"Oh, who is he? Why did you take refuge? ”
"He's my partner and I have business dealings. I make money for him. If it weren't for us, he wouldn't be able to make money, make a fortune, or be an official. The second offender said.
As soon as they said this, Fu Ying said: "Bold, you are a traitor, he is not, why do you spew blood, saying that they are your partners and rely on you to make money, is the money you stole a legitimate and legal income?" It's just nonsense, it seems that you won't be punished without moving! ”
When the second offender heard this, he was shocked, didn't he have been interrogated? and interrogation again.
"Someone!"
"Lord, lord, the little one lied, the little one lied! It's Ren Xing from the neighboring county, and he's my boss. I listened to him, the matter of opening a branch in Laohekou is nothing, I want to cheat and cheat from Ren Xing, I actually can't operate. I hope that the lord will be gracious. ”
"Really?" Fu Ying asked.
"It's true!" The second offender said.
"Okay, send someone to the neighboring county to deliver the official document and ask for Ren Xing's arraignment." Fu Ying said.
Soon, Ren Xing was arraigned.
There is no way to do it in the county order of the neighboring county, what Fu Ying did was completely in accordance with the law, flawless, blameless, even if he was impeached, it was useless.
Ren Xing was only taken to the old estuary with a sigh.
"What's your name?"
"Ren Xing."
"Gender?"
"You can do it!" Ren Xing said angrily.
"Don't blame the official for asking more, because someone reported that you are someone else's employer, is there such a thing?" Fu Ying said.
"No, sir, it was wronged! The small ones have hired workers, all of whom work in the rice shops, but there are really no outside. These two people are not small employees, they are cheating and cheating. If the little one lies, he would rather let the thunder chop to death. Go out and let the carriage run and die, the wheel is crushed, and the arrow is killed. All kinds of deaths are fulfilled in the little one. Ren Xingyan said.
"Look at what you said seems to be wronged! Can you please explain, how do you make money? If you don't have the help of a second offender, why are you so rich? The whole street is your family's? What did you do before? Fu Ying asked.
Ren Xing saw that Fu Ying's tone softened, so he said: "The small one used to be a big family, but then the family fell into the middle of the road and ran out of money, so he worked as a tenant to support the family." ”
"Then you explain, where does the money come from? The second offense is identified as money earned for you. The second offender is a well-known criminal, who is involved in abduction, fraud, robbery, etc., in short, illegal income, you talk about it, how do you make money? Fu Ying asked.
"My sister lent me this money." Ren Xingyan said.
"Nonsense! Your brother-in-law eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and the huge property of the Tian family has been harmed by Tian Juqi, a loser, where is the money? Fu Ying said.
"My lord doesn't know, Tian Juqi is my brother-in-law, is not a weapon, when the old man died, he didn't let the loser Tian Juqi manage the money, but gave my sister to manage the money, I went to borrow money, my sister borrowed, because I changed my ways, my sister is very smart, before lending me money, I have already arranged for someone to inquire about me, I know, but I didn't make it clear, she assured to lend me money, let me reorganize the family business, become rich like my ancestors, take off the hat of the tenant, and become a rich man. The life of a superior person makes the Ren family regain its majesty and glory again. Ren Xingyan said.
"That's the case, your sister lent you money, how much did she lend you?" Fu Ying asked.
"About 10,000 taels of silver, before and after, with interest about the same." Ren Xingyan said.
"How much?"
"Ten thousand taels, including interest."
"Are you sure?" Fu Ying asked.
"Of course I'm sure, my sister is very good, as long as I borrow it, she will give it, she knows that I need money to do business, and I am on the right path, so I am very relieved." Ren Xingyan said.
"Then did your sister ask you to make an IOU?"
"My sister is very good, she didn't let me make IOUs or IOUs, and when I didn't have much money, she also took out her private money to me to help me complete the task of laying the foundation for business. When I got on the right track, I wanted to give her back the money, but she didn't ask for it, saying that she would talk about it when she got the results and she had the results. ”
"Your sister is so nice!"
"Of course, there is only this one sister, no sister lent me money as start-up capital, no money, and I can't borrow money, the world is cold, I can see through it. Without my sister's funding, I wouldn't be where I am today, and there would be no Renjiajie. Ren Xingyan said.
"Yes, you have a good sister to help you, otherwise, you are still a tenant, farming for others, looking at other people's faces, hungry and full, where can you buy a street? Where did you get to a certain official and a half-post in the county government? Fu Ying said.
"That's right, it was my sister who lent me money that made me where I am today. It was my sister who lent me money, not what the second offender said, the second offender and I didn't know each other, but they only knew each other for a short time, and they were arrested and arrested. Ren Xingyan said.
"Okay, Shuli, please take a record." Fu Ying said.
"Master, don't believe the nonsense of the second criminal, my money is all clean, neither theft nor robbery, it is all legitimate, it is not illegal gains, it is all clean, not stolen money, please be fair!" Ren Xingyan said.
"Okay, this official will definitely give you justice. You also know that drinking water is the source, and you know that it is your sister's money that makes you who you are today. Fu Ying said.
"Exactly, exactly, sir, this is true, without my sister, I still have nothing, I am still a tenant farmer, I live by farming for others, and I have nothing. After my sister got married, I lost my family, and my ancestors' property was squandered by me, and it wasn't my sister who funded me to make a comeback, and I am still a tenant. It's all thanks to my sister. Ren Xingyan said.
"Okay, I understand. If your sister was there, would you thank you in person? Fu Ying asked.
"Of course, of course! Otherwise, it's not a human being, it's a beast. Not even a brute. Ren Xingyan said.
"Okay, Chuan Tian Ren." Fu Ying said.
As soon as the words fell, Tian Ren suddenly appeared in the lobby.
When Ren Xing saw it, his face turned white.
One moment it turns red, the next it turns white, just like a child's face, it changes instantly, without makeup. He was stunned, motionless.
"Tian Ren, Ren Xing, who owes you money, take a closer look, see if this person in the court is him?" Fu Ying asked.
"Master Qiqi, exactly!" Tian Ren said.
"He owes you 10,000 taels of silver, doesn't he?" Fu Ying said.
"Master Qiyu, after checking by Mr. Accounts and calculating the interest, it is a full 10,000 taels." Tian Ren replied.
"That's right, what are you going to do?" Fu Ying asked.
"Master Qiyu, in my hometown, the county lord doesn't care about the little girl, and he can't ask the neighboring county government for help, and he hopes to recover the principal and interest, and hopes that the old man will be the master of the little woman, uphold justice, and let the little girl wash away the injustice!" Tian Ren said.
"Good! The ruler will do justice for you and take back your money. Fu Ying said.
"Ren Xing, can you hear it, this is what your sister said, every sentence is true, the words are true, it is true, you don't need to explain much, sell all you have now and return it to your sister in the equivalent of 10,000 taels of silver, if you don't pay it back, you will auction your Renjia Street according to law to pay off the debt, all your property belongs to your sister, you are still a person, your sister decides to give you wages, or not give you wages, all your property is your sister's, because the capital is your sister's, you don't know how to repay it, you will be punished, confiscated all your property, It belongs to your sister, and you can only receive a salary, and if you are not satisfied, you can file a lawsuit. However, you have to consider whether you still have an official hat and official uniform, if you file a complaint, the official will accompany you to the end, and if you are not pulled out of the official ranks, you will not be paid, you can listen carefully. Your official is also a false position bought with money, which annoys the official, and the official will report and complain, so that the Holy Majesty will order you to be punished, suffer the pain of capital punishment, and be distributed thousands of miles away. You can think twice about which is more important. Fu Ying said.
"Master, the little one is wrong, he didn't borrow his sister's money, but his sister gave it voluntarily." Ren Xingyan said.
"What a minion! Come on, hit forty boards! It is clearly written in black and white, you have signed and drawn the charge, and until now you are still untruthful, quibbling, disrupting the court, and beating it, such a person is an official, a corrupt official, a dumb official, and will not uphold justice for the people, but will only confuse right and wrong and reverse black and white. Beat, beat, to the frontier prison, there are still a hundred killing sticks, depending on whether you have strong skin or sticks. Fu Ying said.
When Ren Xing heard this, he panicked, knelt down with "poof", kowtowed like pounding garlic, and blood immediately flowed on his forehead.
"Spare your life, spare your life! Spare your life! Ren Xing begged for mercy repeatedly, the sound shook the court, and his tone was sad and desolate, as if he was going to say goodbye to this world.
"Slow, don't fight for the time being, red mouth and white teeth, it's clear, everyone in court admitted that they owed Tian Ren 10,000 taels of silver, and regretted it, it doesn't make sense! If I don't beat you, you won't know how powerful the law is! Since you are begging for mercy, the official will not pursue it, and will write down this account for the time being, and wait until you reach the frontier. Fu Ying said.
"Master, the little ones don't want to go, don't want to go, to the frontier? The little ones will die there. Even if you don't die there, you'll die halfway through, sir, please re-sentence. The little ones are willing to give more money to the bitter master. Ren Xingyan said.
"Well, that's what you said! Don't go back on it when the time comes. Shuli, please listen clearly and write down, file a case and let him sign it, he is fickle, he can't do it if he doesn't write it down and don't sign. Fu Ying said.
Shuli immediately took the recorded materials and asked Ren Xing to sign it, but Ren Xing was unwilling and couldn't.
"Master, the little one is willing to give the rice shop to my sister, and the street is also given to my sister, and the little one is here, that is, the old estuary to re-lease the house and start selling rice." Ren Xingyan said.
"Okay, your Renjia Street and rice shop are about worth 10,000 taels of silver. This official thinks this solution is the best! That's it. Fu Ying said.
"Master, to be honest, the little one opened a rice shop here in Laohekou, and he was not familiar with the place, everything started again, and I hope the master will take care of it more." Ren Xingyan said.
"You can rest assured about this, since there is no money, the money is given to your sister, you are in Laohekou, you need to go through the procedures to open a store or something, in fact, it is very simple, as long as it is for the sake of opening a rice shop, for the convenience of ordinary people's lives, this project is worth doing." Fu Ying said.
"Yes, sir, the little one decided to move to the old estuary, leave that sad place, and start over at the old estuary. I'm sorry for my sister, my brother didn't do well, I made my sister sad, and I was ashamed of my nephew, my uncle was too selfish, he thought about everything for himself, and rarely thought about others, this is a fatal injury, don't say anything, only if I lose money, my conscience will be more comfortable. Ren Xingyan said.
Fu Ying knows that this kid is afraid of death, and it is much better to give some money than to lose his life, and he is really lucky to be thousands of miles away, the key is not to get used to local life. How to get it locally, I know that I am familiar with the environment.
Tian Ren's eyes were swollen from crying, and he was still sobbing, and said: "Master, the little woman thanks the master for being honest and honest, discerning, and fair to the little woman, she is really the parent of the people, and she is our lord of the blue sky!" ”
"You're welcome, you go and hand over the formalities with Ren Xing, after you finish it, Ren Xing will go to the old estuary to hand over the account to the official and cancel the case, otherwise, hum, the official is not welcome!" Fu Ying said.
"Okay, Xiaomin obeys!" Ren Xingyan said.
Ren Xing was well aware of the consequences of disobeying orders. He has been in officialdom and knows many examples of disobedience.
If you want to save your life, you still have to be obedient and do what you say, you can earn it back if you lose your money, and you can't get it back if you lose your life, even if you come back, it's terrifying.
Tian Renshi got the silver, and his heart was comforted, and at the same time, he was also afraid of his younger brother's repeated times, and he didn't want to see him again, the only son, I hope not to follow his uncle's path, of course, don't follow his father's example, I hope that in the next generation, of course, her son is still more obedient, if he develops and grows, he also needs to improve his ability and become a person with a pattern.
In the end, this case did not let Ren Xing stab him from afar, nor did he pay a fine or income to the treasury, but only ruled that all the property in his name belonged to Tian Ren's family. Tian Ren's family became rich again and was admired by the world.
Fu Ying was praised by Bu Huishu for her beautiful handling of this case, and felt that Fu Ying had done a good job and solved a case that had not been solved for many years, which was amazing. However, Fu Ying is still in Laohekou, and he still has a lot to do.
