Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu were taken to the town first, and then they got into the carriage and returned to the county government of Xing'an County with the official errand. Shen Luzhu walked so far on foot for the first time in his two lives, and the whole person was so tired that he couldn't do it, as if his legs were no longer his own, and the soles of his feet had been aching faintly.

As soon as he arrived at the county office, Shen Luzhu was temporarily taken to a small remote room and guarded by a special person, while Chu Yi was taken to the front of the hall alone for questioning.

Shen Luzhu waited anxiously in the room, every second was as difficult as a century, and he didn't know what the official meant by separating himself from Chu Yi, was he afraid that they would collude to confess, so he interrogated him alone? Or are you ready to bend into a trick and feel that it is difficult to do it when both of you are present? I don't know when I will see Chu Yi again!

As the door was pushed open with a "squeak", Ding An and Chu Yi appeared this time, and Shen Luzhu stood up from the chair suddenly: "Chu Yi! Have you had any? ”

Chu Yi wanted to step forward to appease his wife, but the two were separated by the official mission, so he could only smile at his wife with relief: "I'm fine, don't worry, don't be afraid." ”

Soon Shen Luzhu was also taken out by Ding An alone, and was questioned by Xin County.

"The hall is the wife of the owner of the Chu family's shop, Shen?"

"It's a folk girl."

"This county asks you, but your shop sells a kind of burnt paper called silver ticket paper money?"

"Back to the county magistrate, we did make a kind of paper money that looks a little similar to a silver ticket."

Hearing this, the county lieutenant Cao who was sitting on the side stared at the woman in the hall and asked, "So you admit to the crime of forging silver tickets?" ”

"My lord, what we do is just a slightly similar appearance of burning paper, at a glance you can see if it is a silver ticket, the people think that this is not a fake silver ticket! If you don't believe it, you can ask the official to bring up the paper money collected from the shop, and the adults will know it at a glance! ”

Cao County Lieutenant picked up the paper money and molds on the table in front of him and asked Shen Luzhu to identify them: "What are you talking about?" ”

"It is these adults, when they made this kind of burning paper, they did borrow the style of silver tickets, but we didn't really do it according to the appearance of silver tickets, but made the rectangle into a square, the whole was doubled, not to mention, and all the text patterns on it were modified, no matter who this paper money was, it would not be recognized as a real silver ticket!"

Xin Xian Ling picked up another dozen pieces of paper on the table, and motioned for Ding An to bring it to Shen Luzhu: "Then do you recognize this?" ”

Shen Luzhu took the dozen pieces of paper handed over by Ding An and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment: "My lord, these silver tickets ...... No, these are not real silver tickets, these are fake, but these things have nothing to do with the shop of the people's girl! ”

Cao County Lieutenant asked with a straight face: "You are a rural village woman, your ability is not small, just look at it twice and know that this is fake?" And said it has nothing to do with you! ”

He Xiancheng on the other side also questioned: "The production method of this fake silver ticket is exactly the same as your so-called silver ticket paper money, how do you explain this?" ”

Shen Luzhu replied without humility or arrogance: "My lords, although the folk girl is a rural village woman, the business of the paper money shop opened at home is not bad, and the monthly income is not small. These silver stamps have no pen strokes at all, and the paper is quite rough, although it looks very similar at first glance, but it should not be difficult for anyone who has always touched the silver ticket to see that it is fake!

This approach does seem to have the same effect as my family's silver ticket paper money, but this matter really has nothing to do with the shop of the people's daughter!

Ladies and gentlemen, please take a closer look at the paper money made by my family, a lotus pattern at the bottom of the left periphery, and the following picture of the deer and crane, the antlers of the deer and the claws of the third crane, and see if there is a yellow essence flower, which is integrated into the painting.

These are the marks made by the people's daughter, Grandpa named Luzhu for the people's daughter, Luzhu is another name for Huangjing, and the people's girl designed it in these paintings, this matter is not known to a third person except the people's daughter and the people's daughter's father-in-law, but these fake silver tickets do not have these unique marks, so it is not the people's daughter's family. ”

Cao County Lieutenant picked up the silver ticket paper money in front of him again, looked through it carefully, and really found three small umbrella-shaped flowers fused with lotus patterns, antlers and crane claws in the three places that Shen Luzhu said, which is the yellow essence flower that Shen Luzhu said.

Cao County Lieutenant handed the paper money to Xin County's order, and continued to ask Shen Luzhu: "Shen's family, you have to tell the truth when you come here, you said that this fake silver ticket has nothing to do with your Chu family, how do we know that this mark was not specially prepared by you in order to get rid of your guilt today?" ”

Shen Luzhu didn't panic at all, and responded calmly: "My lord is really raising up the people's daughter, if the people's girl can know in advance about today's incident, I'm afraid that I won't stand here in such a mess right now, and reply to your question." ”

Xin Xian Ling had also finished reading the marks on the paper money at this time, put the things aside with an expressionless face, and asked unexpectedly: "Shen, do you know the Lu Ji grocery store in Changshui Town?" ”

Lu Ji? Shen Luzhu was puzzled in his heart, he didn't seem to know anyone surnamed Lu: "The people don't know." ”

"But the guy in the shop is adamant, these silver tickets and paper money were bought at your Chu family, how do you explain this?"

Shen Luzhu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know why this Lu Ji's guy wanted to frame his family: "What the great people's daughter said is true, can you bring that guy, the people's girl is willing to confront him face to face!" ”

Soon Ding An brought a man up, Shen Luzhu looked at the man in front of him, and fell into deep thought again, she had indeed never seen this person, and she didn't know who the other party was instructed by and what it was for.

Shen Luzhu spoke before everyone: "Who are you?" Why do you slander us for selling that fake silver ticket to you? ”

Liu Er, the guy at the grocery store, that is, the person who went to Wufang Village to report to Huang Liang last time, had just been brought up, and he was still a little confused, but when he heard Shen Luzhu's question, he reacted instantly, this woman should be the unlucky Chu family!

He was also forced to be helpless, Huang Liang said that this is a big crime of killing the head, if he didn't push this matter on the Chu family, he, as a guy in the shop, would be sentenced together: "Adult Mingjian, the villain didn't slander them, the paper money sold in my shop was bought from their Chu family!" ”

Ding An on the side was also obviously stunned, this Shen Fang looked very shrewd, how could this be confused, even if this Liu Er really framed her, he could guess her identity at this time!

"You liar, you never came to the house at all, and you never asked me to buy paper money with my father and aunt! Otherwise, you say, in which house does my family sell paper money, the east wing or the west wing? ”

Shen Luzhu acted like a completely enraged and vexatious child, as if he had leaked all the information with one mouth! Liu Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, Huang Liang fled in a hurry when he heard the letter before, and he didn't have time to tell him anything about the Chu family, who knew that the girl of the Chu family was so stupid, it would be much easier to do now!

"East ...... West Wing! As soon as Liu Er said a word, he saw that Shen Luzhu's face was different, and he hurriedly changed his words!

"Who will deliberately remember this when they go shopping, you weren't there when I went, it was your daddy who sold it to me!"

Shen Luzhu no longer paid attention to Liu Er, turned around and respectfully saluted the three adults in the hall: "Three adults, the shop of the people's daughter is not opened in the courtyard, but a small room outside the courtyard alone. ”

Without waiting for the three adults to speak, seeing Xin Xianling looking at him, Ding An took the initiative to reply: "My lord, what Shen said is indeed true. ”

Xin Xian Ling nodded thoughtfully, and then motioned to Ding An to take Shen Luzhu down, Shen Luzhu was taken back to the previous room again, Ding An didn't say anything, just let the little couple stay here temporarily, and then ran to the front of the hall again to investigate the case.

Chu Yi saw that his wife seemed to have been there for a lot longer than himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check: "Why has it been so long, but it has been difficult?" ”

Shen Luzhu shook his head at him, leaned on the other party, and returned to Chu Yi's side, finally being able to stay at ease for a while.

In the front hall, Liu Er was already panicked at this time, and was kneeling on the ground with a cower.

Cao County's big hand slapped on the table in front of him with a "snap": "Liu Er!" What else do you have to say! ”

"Yes, it was the villain who lied, the adults were aware of it, and the villain was also forced, it was the immoral Huang Liang who persecuted the villain, begging the adult to bypass the villain this time!"

"Come on, press down this Diao people who framed others and disrupted the court's handling of the case, and waited for it to be released!"

When Ding An came back, he happened to encounter this scene, and when he saw Liu Er being taken away, he stepped forward to report another matter: "Three adults, when the little official searched the Chu family's shop and workshop in the mountain village, he found some suspicious points, and when he took away the Chu family and his wife, he deliberately left two subordinates to continue to inquire about the news in the village. ”

"Hurry up and let them in, Ding An, what news did you ask them to inquire about?"

"Lord Huixian Ling, the little official found that the silver ticket paper money in the Chu family's shop was very different from the one handed over by those deceived merchants, and the Chu family couple did not behave like ordinary criminals at that time, and even the Shen family took the initiative to ask to accompany her father-in-law, and the little official really couldn't tell whether they were criminals who had been prepared to deal with it a long time ago, or if they were really wronged, so they asked their men to go to the village to inquire to see if anyone had bought the Chu family's silver ticket paper money before, and whether it was consistent with the search from the shop."

The two arresters quickly came to the front of the hall, and respectfully reported the news they had found out today to the adults in the hall: "My lord, according to Ding Tou's instructions, we have inquired around the nearby villages, and the silver tickets and paper money sold by the Chu family have indeed always been the same as those found in his shop, and most of the villagers have responded that the character of the husband and wife of the Chu family is trustworthy, not the kind of people who steal and play tricks and do all kinds of evil things. ”

"Ding An, you send someone to Changshui Town again to continue to search for the traces of Lu Ji's boss Huang Liang, and the couple of the Chu family can't completely dismiss the suspicion for the time being......"

Xin County Ling was talking, and he saw someone come to report: "My lord, Sun Ji's fourth boss said that he had something important to see!" ”

The Sun family is a well-known local wealthy businessman, and has industries in the county and various towns, the most important thing is that the Sun family has always been law-abiding, and very supportive of the government's work, especially the four bosses of the Sun family, who are face-loving and bold, will help the county government donate money to help many down-and-out families every year, and have always had a good relationship with Xin County.

Xin Xian Ling saw that today's interrogation had almost been carried out, and the rest of the matter would not be decided until there were new clues, so he simply met with Sun Si to see what urgent matters he had.
