Chapter 154: Not very smart
Meng Jingyao hadn't come at that time since last spring, but she can be sure of one thing.
When they first came to Zhuangzi in the early autumn of last year, they came to check it out, and the land at that time was indeed the third cousin's.
She believes in the character of the third cousin-in-law, and it is absolutely impossible to rob anyone's things.
She has been in Zhuangzi for another year, and she can be sure of Shen Fang's character.
At that time, the third cousin first proposed to build a racetrack, and the third cousin said that she would use that land.
She remembered that she met a villager nearby, and the villager greeted Shen Fang with a smile on his face.
When other villagers in the vicinity saw them, no one showed disgust, which also showed Shen Fang's character from this point.
Meng Jingyao glanced at him and saw that his expression was calm and not panicked.
Shen Fang read the document in Ma Chao's hand unhurriedly, it was indeed a document of land transfer, and what was transferred was the few acres of land he said, which was also part of their current racecourse.
He is not in a hurry, Ma Chao's mother and son are very anxious.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, and he said those words himself, he didn't even react.
This makes them feel bottomless, and they are very worried.
couldn't help urging, "You have also read the document, and there is my uncle's name and handprint on it, which is absolutely true."
At that time, I invited an old boy who had studied in our village to write this document, and the old boy was still there, even if he went to the yamen, he could testify. ”
In this way, Ma Chao increased his confidence a little, and he also deliberately mentioned the yamen, in order to scare the other party.
In fact, he didn't want to go to the yamen, and he was subconsciously afraid of that place, and he also resisted.
Ordinary people like them usually negotiate and settle matters by themselves.
If you can't solve it yourself, ask the village chief or clan elder to administer justice.
Generally speaking, as long as it is not a major matter of murder and arson, the matter will be solved when it develops to the village chief and clan elders.
If it weren't for the last resort, I would never go back to alarm the government.
There are even some people who immediately retreat when they hear that they are going to the government, and would rather suffer a loss than go.
Including him Ma Chao, he still looks aggressive, most of them rely on the documents in his hands, and there are big people behind him who promise to support him.
Because he said it with a nose and eyes, even the porter was beating a drum in his heart when he looked at it.
However, he is an old man in Zhuangzi, and his heart is still more biased towards the master's family.
Meng Jingyao didn't move or say anything, she was waiting for Shen Fang.
Shen Fang, who was urged by Ma Chao again, finally spoke, speaking slowly and logically.
"You really have no problem with this paperwork, the few acres of land mentioned above are also on the newly built racecourse on our Zhuangzi."
As soon as he said this, Ma Chao's family's expressions immediately relaxed.
At this moment, they already thought that those few acres of land would definitely be in their hands, and they were already in their pockets.
Even the woman who had kept her head down raised her head, her eyebrows relaxed, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
The next moment, Shen Fang's voice changed, and his expression became fierce.
"It's just that on the first day you signed this paperwork, your eldest uncle Ma Gui had already sold the land to our Zhuangzi."
Under the stunned look on the Ma family's face, Shen Fang continued.
"Your third Zhang Lao San did come to sign the deed of sale the day after the paperwork, and you Ma Gui also came that day.
But he didn't come to the deed, but to thank you.
After thanking him, he left and never came again.
As for what the agreement between you is, that's none of our business. ”
Of course, it is impossible for the Ma family to accept such a result, "There is no evidence, you say that it is the first day, you take out the evidence." ”
Ma Chao in turn asked Shen Fang to take evidence, and he also learned from Shen Zong, otherwise he would have his own brain confusion at this time.
After he reminded him, his mother-in-law also shouted for Shen Fang to take evidence.
"You say yes? We have this as evidence, written clearly in black and white.
What about you? You say the time is wrong, so what proof do you have? ”
If it were a different family, Shen Fang might not be able to remember it so clearly, after all, there were too many things, how could he still remember the specific time.
But they made it clear to all the people involved in this incident one by one, and his memory gradually became clearer.
He couldn't remember the specific time, but he did remember clearly, Ma Gui came before Zhang Laosan.
Originally, Zhang Laosan thought that the price was low, thinking that they were in a hurry to buy land in Zhuangzi, and he could delay it for a few more days and take the opportunity to increase the price.
He came again the next day, and at that time, Shen Fang still thought that he was looking at Ma Gui and agreeing, he was afraid that it would take too long to delay, so he took the initiative to come again.
What impressed Shen Fang the most was that Ma Gui was the first person to say thank you after selling all the land and getting silver.
Where does the thanksgiving come from for the sale and purchase of silver and goods?
But Shen Fang wondered, now he can understand a little, probably just for his nephew.
Proof, of course he has.
The title deed was given to his wife, but he kept a copy of the deed of sale here.
"You wait, I'll go get it for you."
After Shen Fang left, Meng Jingyao was left at the door to face the Ma family, and the porter came out to stand beside her if she was not at ease.
He knows how powerful the mother-in-law in the village is, in case the mother-in-law goes crazy, how can Miss Cousin, a delicate young lady, bear it.
Others were nervous for her, but Meng Jingyao was not nervous at all.
She still looked at the family, watching their every move from beginning to end.
As soon as Shen Fang left, they panicked again, and the mother and son put their heads together to discuss.
During this period, the woman raised her eyelids and looked at her several times, but they were not good eyes.
If she hadn't seen someone else walking around the racecourse, she would have believed that the family had come here for the sake of the land.
Being taken advantage of? Doing things for people? Or is there another conspiracy?
This Ma family doesn't look very smart.
Meng Jingyao trusted her instincts, and she turned her head and whispered to the porter.
"After Steward Shen comes out in a while, you will go in and find Miss Yang and ask her to send me someone who can be used.
Don't let anyone else know, let someone invite Miss Yang out of the garden. ”
The porter thought that she was similar to what he thought, and he had to take precautions in advance.
"Yes."
Shen Fang didn't go to the garden to see Shen Huarou after entering, he felt that there was no need to bother his wife about such a trivial matter.
He quickly took the deed and came out, not noticing that the porter was going in with him.
After the gatekeeper entered, he trotted all the way to the outside of the garden, and found a familiar girl to go in and invite Yang Muqing.
Yang Muqing came out under the pretext of going to the kitchen to watch the dishes, and when she heard what Meng Jingyao asked the porter to bring, she went to arrange someone without saying a word.
Tell the porter, "You go first." ”
The porter was not very worried about the situation at the door, and hurried back.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I came to the mother-in-law and sprinkled, "You are black-eyed, you must have done tricks and deceived my eldest brother with clever words."
He signed the paperwork with my son, and my son gave him a pension for the end, and he broke the banner and broke the pot, and his few acres of land were all mine.
I'm going to sue you, you must be a fake, and you can't count it at all. ”
