Chapter 240: Resistance

"This money will be made up immediately, and the adults will not worry about food again."

Zheng Xiong smacked his mouth, there are not many opportunities to kill people, so he coaxed it, which made Zheng Xiong a little unsatisfied.

"In this way, after paying the money, the house will not cheat you, I have eaten breakfast today, and I will leave after lunch and dinner!"

Hao Dali looked incredulous, what breakfast? I didn't eat it, don't fool me.

The onlookers and the officials looked at each other, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have such a Fu Yin who got into the eyes of money.

"My lord, I didn't have breakfast! I'm still hungry."

Facing Hao Dali, who was at a loss, Zheng Xiong looked at Tong Juan suspiciously.

"What's the matter, why didn't you have breakfast? How can you try a case when you're hungry?"

Zheng Xiong pretended to be stupid, and the general judge also saw that his adult was a money-gotten person, so he cooperated with the performance.

"Your Excellency, you're early, and you haven't had time to prepare."

Zheng Xiong showed a look of sudden realization and reprimanded the general judge.

"In the future, the work in this area will be strengthened, and you can give this house a snack."

"What the adults teach is that the lower officials should remember."

After the reprimand, Zheng Xiong looked at Hao Dali apologetically.

"I'm sorry, it's because the work of the government is not in place, if you don't eat, you can go to the prison to eat first, anyway, the money hasn't arrived yet."

"However, the money can't be refunded, after all, it's prepared for you, what do you think?"

Are there any other options? No, Hao Dali could only silently accept the reality.

"No, thank you for your kindness, this money was ready to be paid back yesterday, but they were too dark, so they didn't give it."

"Now I always carry it with me, so I'll hand it over to my lord, you can order it."

After speaking, Hao Dali took out two ingots of official silver from his chest, one large and one small.

He took out a few pieces of loose silver, weighed them, and handed them to the tray in front of him.

The official inspected it, then weighed it, confirmed that it was correct, and reported it to Zheng Xiong.

"My lord, the total weight is sixty-one taels, just right."

Zheng Xiong nodded, and then said to Hao Dali.

"Alright, you can go, welcome to the guests."

Hao Dali's liver hurts, who will come to this place for the second time, and even if he has money, he can't stand it like this, so he barely squeezed out a smiling face and said.

"Thank you, sir, for your farewell."

Zheng Xiong watched Hao Dali leave, and when he completely disappeared from view, he said unsatisfied.

"There aren't many such good people, I hope he's safe."

"What time is it?"

Tong Juan calculated the time and replied.

"It's seven o'clock, and it's almost noon."

"Go to dinner first, then try again after dinner, and leave the court."

Zheng Xiong left, and the morning trial ended.

On the other side, in Zheng Fuzhong, Jia was sending Mrs. Liu away, and said with a greeting.

"Look at you, you're coming, you're coming, what are you bringing!"

"We have some souvenirs, you can bring some back, next time I visit the door."

As he spoke, Jia Shi took a small snack from the maid on the side, air-dried dates and candied fruit with a little heart.

Mrs. Liu complained in her heart, who lacks these three melons and two dates, and everyone has the stuff, you are embarrassed to call this a local specialty.

He took it with a smile on his face, and his mouth kept thanking.

"That's so embarrassing, I drank the tea, and I brought things back before leaving, so that the old lady broke the bank."

Jia Shi was very happy, and after thinking that his return gift was not proportional to the gift brought by Mrs. Liu, he still gave a guarantee.

"You can rest assured about the little thing of your second uncle, I'll tell my second boy when I go back, it's just a matter of being blinded and kicked, it's okay."

It's too late to wait for the turnaround, and Mrs. Liu can only emphasize again.

"The case is very urgent, I heard that the trial has begun, you see if you are free, notify first, and make a sound

Hello, I'm relieved."

The mouth of the cannibal is short, and the hand of the taker is short.

Seeing this situation, Jia Shi knew that he had to take some action in order to let people see the sincerity, so he nodded.

"That's what you said, I'm going to have someone pass on the word."

Seeing that the Jia family arranged for someone to pass the word, Mrs. Liu was indeed much more relieved.

However, seeing that the Jia family was so foolish and had a good face, Mrs. Liu's eyes rolled around, and she instigated.

"Do you want to go and see together, recognize the door by the way, and show your face in front of people."

Not to mention, this proposal can be regarded as scratching the itch of Jia's place.

As Zheng Xiong's wife, Zheng Xiong, as the governor of the house, saw him coming, and he couldn't salute respectfully.

And Zheng Xiong's subordinates don't need to say much.

At that time, the "old lady" screamed, and she could talk more in the future and brag in front of a group of little sisters.

The more I think about it, the more feasible it is, Jia is also a nouveau riche mentality, and no one teaches him on weekdays.

Besides, the short days of the parents have only passed, and they follow Lao Zheng to deal with the women's circle on weekdays.

This feeling of being manifested in front of people is exciting just thinking about it.

"Let's be a girl, is it convenient to go to the government office?"

Although it is a question, it can be seen that Jia's intention is already biased.

Mrs. Liu struck while the iron was hot and solved Jia's concerns.

"Hey, let's go to the government office and take a look, it's okay to go around."

"Then take a turn, take a look and go."

Jia Shi was moved, and Mrs. Liu was inevitably reinvigorated, and hurriedly said.

"It just so happens that my house is not far from the government, so go to my house to eat first, and just go over after eating."

Jia Shi does not doubt that he has him, and the mentality of the Xiaofu family has not yet changed, and all he thinks about is human relations.

It just so happens that Zheng Xiong is just a junior, and he doesn't feel anything wrong in this era of governing the country with filial piety.

Symbolically tugged at Mrs. Liu, and happily went with him.

Zheng Xiong was eating lunch here, and there was a sound of prayer outside the door.

"My lord, Lord Yin Zheng of the former mansion sent someone over to deliver a message, would you like to meet him?"

"Let him in."

A few days after the handover, Zheng Yiyan sent someone over, Zheng Xiong thought something was wrong!

There was some surprise for the people who came, and it was reasonable, but as for the rest, I didn't think much about it.

"Lord Fu Yin, the boss asks the little one to bring a good one to the adult."

"Then what are you doing outside, let's talk! What do you have to say to me?"

"In addition to saying hello, Lord Squire also asks the little one to bring a word."

"It's forbidden to bet on this thing."

"I used to be wary of this situation, but after a few times, I understood."

"Good words can't persuade damned ghosts, great compassion is difficult for people who are self-conscious."

"These are some of the boss's superficial opinions, and I talk to adults through small mouths."

This is quite exquisite, although it is not explicitly said, but the meaning is obvious.

That is, as long as the gamblers are still there, then it is impossible for the gambling house to ban it.

And Zheng Yiyan, a third-grade master, has anything to do with the case he is trying here.

It's just that I came to intercede, but it's not so obvious.

Zheng Xiong thought about it, but it didn't matter if he gave face, so he replied.

"Well, I see, help me say hello to the Lord."

"As for gambling, I agree with the boss and thank him for me."

The words were brought, and Zheng Xiong's reply was also obtained, and the errand runner offered his farewell.

"Yes, if you are small, you will not bother the adults."

"Well, go ahead!"

Zheng Xiong didn't take this little episode to heart and continued to cook.

"Shengtang, bring a few of the gamblers caught yesterday to the official, and Liu Xia from the gambling house also bring over."

The venue was too small, and Zheng Xiong only mentioned a few people as a basis.

After a while, Liu Xia and a few gamblers were taken to the lobby.

"Liu Xia, this official asks you, what is your relationship with the gambling house?"

This question, after a night of preparation, Liu Xia did not panic in the face of the question, and replied slowly.

"Lord Hui, I have nothing to do with the gambling house, just because I am familiar with the owner of the gambling house, and I once lent him a little money."

"Yesterday, I was also invited to come over to play, but I didn't expect to meet an adult, and I was accepted by this unjustified disaster, and I asked the adult to be aware of it, and I am still in the next justice."

Zheng Xiong was surprised, yesterday he still had the posture of a master, but now he has cleared up the relationship, and the change is really fast.

"Oh, who's the shopkeeper?"

"The surname is Qian, the name is Jin, I was also imprisoned yesterday, I was not brought over, I should still be in prison."

Hearing that he was still in prison, Zheng Xiong asked someone to bring him to the prison, and he continued to interrogate Liu Xia.

"According to you, this matter has nothing to do with you, does it? It is the official who has wronged you."

It's a little different from what I thought, it's too easy to talk, but it doesn't matter, Liu Xia is still modest.

"Don't dare, it's in Xia Menglang, a place like the gambling house shouldn't go, since you go, any punishment can be accepted in Xia."

Zheng Xiong nodded and said.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, and after a confession, you can leave."

Easily passed, Liu Xia immediately thanked.

"Thank you, sir."

The voice fell, and Qian Jin was also brought up.

"Money in, right? You're the shopkeeper?"

"Yes."

Concise, Zheng Xiong then asked.

"How long has this casino been in business?"

Qian Jin thought about it slightly and gave an answer.

"One year and two months."

"And how much money does this gambling house make?"

This is a bit of a knowledge blind spot, Qian Jin glanced at Liu Xia vaguely, Liu Xia nodded, Qian Jin understood and gave the answer.

"Almost a thousand."

Hearing this figure, Zheng Xiong was a little surprised, this money was obviously a little dishonest.

A thousand times looks like a lot, but on average, it's not much, about 100 times a month.

According to the 100 people caught, not counting the others, each person contributes 100 wen a day, which is 10 yuan a day, and 300 yuan a month.

There are only a few people who win money, a thousand days of chopping wood and burning a day, as long as you play, sooner or later you will return it one day, and the factor of winning money can be completely ignored.

Just a simple calculation, there are about 4,000 guan in two months a year, and this 1,000 guan is definitely not a real number.

Besides, there are 4,000 pieces of search at the scene alone.

Such a simple calculation, and giving back such a small income, is obviously a bit insulting.

"You're not honest! Do you want to taste the torture instruments?"

Qian Jin asked with an innocent expression.

"The little ones don't know what mistakes they made, so please let the adults tell me."

"That official reminds you that there are a total of 4,000 yuan of money and property found that day, how do you explain this?"

Qian Jin came to his senses and explained to Zheng Xiong.

"Except for the gamblers who brought the money, the rest is kept by the gambling house just in case."

"In order to win more and lose less on the day, you can pay out, after all, the gambling house relies on the word reputation, and it is reasonable to leave some money!"

For this explanation, Zheng Xiong scoffed in his heart.

It's okay to lose a little once in a while, and if you win more, you don't have to be in a hurry, do something tricky.

Modern casinos, diversified development, do not dare to guarantee fairness, you tell me that credibility is really laughing out of people's teeth.

"Alright! A thousand kans, right? Bring me the bill, and the ruler will believe you, or else he will count it tenfold."

At this point, Zheng Xiong

The purpose has already begun to manifest.

Qian Jin and Liu Xia had bad thoughts in their hearts.

Ten times 10,000 is a lot less in terms of income, and the problem of admitting it is not big.

The important thing is to not be able to figure out Zheng Xiong's intentions and not understand the purpose.

And this is obviously very important, just look at Zheng Xiong's questioning to know that it is not a good thing.

Not only Qian Jin, but Liu Xia was in a dilemma.

"My lord, there is really only so much income, there is really no bill, we are such a small place, there is no habit of making accounts, and I hope that my lord will know it."

At this time, Zheng Xiong's side came from the words of the general judgment.

"My lord, the old lady of your family is here, let you pass."

The sudden thoughts made Zheng Xiong stunned on the spot.

Why just let me go, can't you figure out the severity?

It's okay to come and see.

It's just that you can't wait for this little time, just open your mouth and come, and don't look at the occasion.

"Say I'm not available, I'll go after the case is heard."

"Yes."

"I just said something, there's no bill, right? If you don't have a bill, you can count it as 10,000 yuan, don't you understand?"

Qian Jin looked helpless, people were unreasonable, what else could he say, he could only let Zheng Xiong play and let it go.

Zheng Xiong just wanted to speak, but Tong Ju attached his mouth to Zheng Xiong's ear and whispered in a whisper.

"My lord, the lower official told the old lady, but the old lady was a little unhappy."

"I said you didn't come, so I came to you."

Zheng Xiong couldn't figure it out, but this could also be tossed.

It's no wonder that most of the people who crossed were parents worshipping the heavens.

When I meet this kind of aunt, I'll give you a little bit every once in a while, and no one can stand it.

Xu walked too close a few days ago, and then hated this eldest lady, always trying to find some sense of existence in front of him, which caused this situation.

For a moment, Zheng Xiong thought of a lot of reasons.

In the end, it can only be reduced to a sigh.

"Yes, I'll take a look."

"Qian Jin, this official will give you some more time, you can think about it again, and then answer after thinking about it."

After Zheng Xiong finished speaking, he went back to the back office.

Jia's face was unhappy, and when he saw Zheng Xiong coming, he asked unhappily.

"What's the matter, my mother arrived, and I didn't know how to come, and I still have to invite you for my mother."

Zheng Xiong didn't immediately deal with Jia's family, but looked at Mrs. Liu, and instinctively told himself that things were not very simple.

After saluting Jia's family, he asked.

"Auntie, who is this lady?"

Seeing Zheng Xiong saluting, Jia Shi looked at it and found some face, so he introduced Zheng Xiong.

"This is the wife of the squire of the military department, and I am a sister, so you can call me aunt!"

Hearing Jia's introduction, Zheng Xiong understood.

It's still a matter of gambling, and this relative of the soldier has tossed so many things.

One by one, they rushed to intercede.

If you change it to the royal family, it won't blow up.

I don't know how Bao Zheng was selfless and impartial in law enforcement.

Anyway, I'm annoyed.

Just this resistance, ordinary people really can't bear it.
