Chapter 110: The Land Lord Passes Through the Hall
Hong Zhao finished eating and drinking, and was very happy!
Mrs. Hong Zhao took a look and found that something was wrong, she was happier when she lost money than when she made money, is this a bad head?
She was confused, not knowing how to ask.
I just watched a play recently, it's very exciting, it's a local opera, the tone of singing is similar to the way it speaks, and those who usually speak can also be applied to singing.
In and out of the play, there are real life conditions interspersed, which makes people feel more understandable.
He dragged on and said, "Beloved wife, do you know wow, my money hasn't been lost, do you really think my money has been lost?" ”
When Mrs. Hong Zhao heard this, she was stunned, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, thinking that she was given by Sun Wukong's immobilization technique.
"Why, why?" Mrs. Hong Zhao asked.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong, just look at Madame, what do you love me."
"You're so bad!"
"I want to see if Madame cares about me or my money." Hong Zhao said.
"Hey, I said you're really, too careless, aren't you? You make fun of your wife. Why can't you get along with money? You're back, are you at ease with your money outside? Where do you put your money? If you lose it, you will lose it completely, the wolf will not want your money, but only your life, people will want your money, and they will also want your life, are you so relieved? I won't accept anyone, but I'm really convinced of you. I don't support the wall, I'll obey you. Mrs. Hong Zhao said.
"How is that possible, that is absolutely not, I put it in the hole behind the land temple, covered it with a stone slab, and I can't see anyone who came over. It's very secretive! Rest assured! Hong Zhao said.
"Still be careful! If someone finds out where you hide your money, it will definitely be stolen, and then you won't be able to find it, and your money will really be gone. Mrs. Hong Zhao said.
"I know this, the place where I put it, it's hard to find, the hardest place in the world to find, it's the easiest place to find, I know it very well. Others are confused. Wife, don't worry, come, we haven't been warm for a long time, come on! Hong Zhao said, and began to play the monkey game with his wife, taking advantage of the deep night, the people were quiet, and the two seemed to have returned to the time when they were just married, happy and happy.
Early the next morning, Hong Zhao and his wife went to the land temple where the money was hidden, and went to the hole behind to take a look, the stone slab was opened, and there was a black hole inside. Hong Zhao was completely cool at that time, and sat on the ground with his buttocks. I really let Mrs. say it right.
"Don't worry, maybe the thief didn't go far. Let's chase it again. Mrs. Hong Zhao said.
"It's useless, I'm running away. Which one doesn't kiss when he sees money? It's long since I ran out of smoke. Hong Zhao said.
"Oh well. Only the report to the official. Hurry up and maybe catch the thief and recover your money. Mrs. Hong Zhao said.
Madame is right. Let's go, go to the officer. Wait, I think it's better to report to the official to Jinshan County. Hong Zhao said.
"Why? This is the old estuary, isn't the Jinshan County Order in Dengcheng? Can he manage this? Mrs. Hong Zhao asked.
"I can't do it. However, it is possible to apply for transfer to Deng Cheng. Hong Zhao said.
"If that's the case, that's fine, just let's walk a few more miles." Mrs. Hong Zhao said.
"Yes, that's the inconvenience. I am not optimistic about the Laohekou county order, and I am worried that I will not be able to solve this case, so I can only report to the official first, and then apply for transfer to see if the county order is willing. Hong Zhaoyan said, he paused, felt full of confidence in the future, and said: "Then again, how can you not want to give the case to others?" One more thing is like one less, one more case is better than one less, who likes to suffer and doesn't like pleasure? Generally speaking, they want pleasure rather than suffering. ”
"Okay, let's report to the official first, and then transfer it." Madame said.
After hearing the complaint, the Laohekou County Commander said that he had applied to Dengcheng to try the case. was very happy, so he transferred the case to Deng Cheng. Deng Cheng Jin Shan received the letter of submission and was very familiar, isn't this Hong Zhao? There is even a lawsuit, or because of this money, it seems that this money will go through a catastrophe. I didn't expect that if it was reversed, someone would fight the idea of this money, what was not said, it should be managed, familiar people, familiar money, can be tried together, and now Deng Cheng has no case to do, and everything that should be done has been done.
Jin Shan asked: "Hong Zhao, Mrs. Hong, have the two of you talked about where to hide the money at home?" ”
"Yes."
"Have you met anyone?" Jin Shan continued to ask.
Hong Zhao shook his head, he remembered lying and meeting a wolf, and then thought about it, wolves are not people, people are not wolves, when they meet wolves, they don't meet people, and besides, if wolves don't exist, they can't talk nonsense.
"My lord, the little girl has worked hard all the way to reward her husband, experienced a lot of things, and encountered a lot of setbacks, so she gave her husband wine and food to comfort her, but I didn't expect the food to be there, but there was no wine, and the wine jar was at the bottom." Madame said.
"Are you going to fight when you run out of alcohol?"
"Yes, the little girl will go out to drink."
"Where's the drink?"
"At the grocery store at the west end of the village, there is liquor."
"Is there anyone in the grocery store?"
"Yes, it's the shopkeeper of the shop who is called Ear Six."
"Why is that a name?"
"I don't know this, my lord, everyone calls him Ear Six, Ear Six, maybe the sixth in the family. Surname Er. Madame said.
"You were drinking at Erliu's, and he just sold you wine, didn't he say anything?"
"No, he talks a lot, he talks less in front of others, pays money with one hand, delivers with the other, and in front of the little girl, he talks a lot, and he asks and asks, which is annoying." Madame said.
"How is he?" Jin Shan asked.
"He's. Every time I look at the little girl, I am squinting, but the little girl never ignores him, buying things is buying things, and when I finish buying, I leave. Never contact him in private. The more people like him pay attention to him, the more they will talk. Ignore him, he himself found it boring, so he didn't say anything. Madame said.
"Then did he ask who you were drinking?" Jin Shan asked.
"I asked, the little girl said to give her husband a drink, I said that the husband came back, he didn't believe it, said that he generally went out for a short half a month, a long three or four months, like this is not long or short, never, he said that the little woman lied to him, the little woman was too lazy to argue with him, he saw that the little woman stopped talking, and he believed that the little woman was lying, and always felt that the little woman was good-looking, and there were always many people who wanted to take advantage." Madame said.
"Okay, don't make a noise for the time being, go back first, and listen to the notice the day after tomorrow, and the official will solve the case for you. Don't be impatient, and there will be results. Jin Shan said.
Hong Zhao and his wife returned to Honghe Village at the mouth of the old river.
Early the next morning, Jin Shan disguised himself as a fruit merchant, went to Er Liu's grocery store, found Er Liu, and asked: "I heard that you have a beautiful woman here, and we have a rich family there, who has just died and needs to find a house to fill." It is said that the beauties of the old estuary are like clouds, so they asked me to inquire here. See if there is a suitable one, after the thing is done, you must reward it, rest assured, and you will do what you say. ”
"There are many beauties, but there are not many charms, there is a beautiful woman in Honghe Village, not only is she beautiful, but also understands the reason, knows a lot of knowledge, exports into chapters, and is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, who is really blessed if she gets her. It's a pity that I'm already married. Ear Liuyan said.
"Marriage does not mean that there is no chance, marriage may be divorced, and after divorce is still single, you can introduce it. Rest assured, the boss over there has money, but he lacks people. If someone will put the icing on the cake, better and better. Jin Shan said.
"This beautiful woman is married to a merchant, and the merchant is not at home all the year round, but it is a pity that it is wasted. Flowers are planted in cow dung. Ear Liuyan said.
"You mean, did you have access to her?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes! Her husband is not always at home, and when he needs to buy something at home, she will come here to buy it and talk to her. ”
"Can you introduce me? After the deed is done, there will be a lot of rewards. Jin Shan said.
"Of course you can, but she's a little arrogant, that is, to a grocery store owner like me, lukewarm, keep a distance, and I'm not a tiger. However, compared to other women, she is still pitiful. If I could marry such a woman in my life, I would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. Ear Liuyan said.
"That's, it's human fate. Like me in business, I have seen a lot of beautiful women, some of them are good-looking, but they don't come to things, they don't know how to be polite, and their mouths are dirty, which makes people disgusted. There are fewer and fewer people who are knowledgeable, reasonable, and courteous. If you meet it, you can't wait to get it. So, my fair lady, good gentleman. Jin Shan said.
"Yes. This woman is very dutiful, worthy of her husband, and when her husband is away from home, it is difficult to say that he remains loyal to her. However, this is someone's private life, and it's not good to ask too much. Ear Liuyan said.
"Can you tell me what her name is?"
"I don't know her name, but I know her husband's name, called, called, called, yes, called Hong Zhao, well, yes, it's called Hong Zhao. He also had a cousin who married to Deng Cheng. Ear Liuyan said.
"Oh, how do you call marrying Deng Cheng? Is marrying a daughter-in-law called a marriage here? Jin Shan asked.
"No, his cousin went to Dengcheng to be a son-in-law, so he called marriage, his cousin's name is Hong Xi, I heard two days ago that he was swallowed by a python, and his body was separated, which is too terrifying. Later, he met a very wise county magistrate, and quickly solved the case and caught the culprit. This prefectural order is really powerful. Ear Liuyan said.
"How do you know so well!" Jin Shan asked, a little skeptical.
Erliu found that his speech was a little wrong, so he hurriedly made up for it, but he couldn't make up for it, and the hole was getting bigger and bigger.
"These are all folklore, I don't know if it's true or not, and I've heard it too. People come and go here, a lot of news knows a little, not at the scene, the understanding of the situation is also limited, take out some of the information you know, to talk about it, in order to relieve boredom. Ear Liuyan said.
"Okay, you go about business, I'm on my way! If we meet next time, there should be good news. Good bye! Jin Shan said, beckoning to Erliu to say goodbye.
When Jin Shan returned to the county office, he immediately sent a messenger to inform the local land security officer, saying: "Tomorrow Jin County will order the Honghe Village Land Temple to solve the case, and all the villagers in Honghe Village, including the shop owners, must go to the Land Temple to observe the trial, and there must be no mistakes, no leave, no going out, no excuses not to come, even if they are bedridden, they must be brought here." ”
As soon as this order came out, everyone felt that something was wrong.
Because there has never been such a big move, some people have never seen it in their lifetime. And the place where the case was tried is very strange, in the Land Temple, what does this mean? Do you want to judge the lord of the land? As soon as this announcement came out, not only in this village, but also many people in other villages came to see the excitement, so as to accumulate materials and talk to other more idle people, and the spread became more and more widespread.
The next day, that is, the time agreed by Jin Shan and Hong Zhao.
Hong Zhao and his wife rushed to the Land Temple.
Jin Shan County ordered to take a sedan chair to the land temple, and when he arrived in front of the temple, he got out of the sedan chair, looked around, and nodded. When everyone looked at his movements, something was wrong.
After he came out of the sedan chair, he first bowed to the land lord, made a bow, and then sat on the side of the land lord, that is, facing the villagers. The land lord is facing the villagers. When everyone quieted down and Shuli was ready, Jin Shan began to hear it.
"Bold Land Lord! The officer asks you, who gave you the guts? Could it be that after eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts, he dared to embezzle the people's money! Jin Shan said angrily.
"What?"
"No embezzlement, fart! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be fed to the dogs. ”
"Not really."
"Okay, this official asked you, did Hongzhao hide money behind your temple the day before yesterday?"
"What? Yes. ”
"Okay, then the official asked you, what about the money? Who took it? Say! ”
"What?"
"Oh, did you tell the people of the village to take it?"
"Oh yes, yes."
"Who took it? Say! ”
"Oh, oh, uh, uh, uh, this official knows."
Jin Shan asked and answered himself, his eyes scanned the crowd, put on his official uniform, and took off his disguise, Jin Shan's outfit yesterday was very different from today, and the grocery store owner just didn't see it.
Jin Shan stared at Ear Liu.
Then he said: "The official knows, um, well, I know, it was Erliu who took it." Nothing to do with you. Okay, the official heard clearly, it was Er Liu who took it. Okay, a lot of offense, a lot of offense, I hope the land lord doesn't get angry, don't get angry, this official can't compensate you! ”
Then, Jin Shan bowed deeply to the land lord again, and then turned around and shouted: "Come on, bring the suspect Erliu up!" ”
Er Liu saw this scene, his heart was furious, and when Jin Shan stared at him, he was even more panicked. By the time Jin Shan called his name loudly, he was already frightened.
Er Liu's face turned pale, like dead ashes, he was caught and sent to Jin Shan, he was already frightened and weak, his knees weakened, and he knelt down.
Jin Shan asked loudly, "Bold thief!" Cheap embryo! The land lord has already revealed that you are a thief and stole the money that Hong Zhao hid behind the temple, you still don't confess truthfully, and confess honestly! If you dare to lie and deceive people, see if the board here is enough to hit you, just say! To be honest, don't take the board, if you don't be honest, Hugh blames the official for being polite, this board just crippled a blind man, do you want to follow in his footsteps? ”
