What's going on?

Don't talk about the officials in the hall, even the people in the hall are collectively stunned.

It is said that this case has been closed, because Sun Duo coveted the land deed in Qian Fu's hands, so he led people to the door to slaughter Qian Fu's family and seize the land deed on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

It's just that judging from the current situation, there seem to be other hidden secrets in this case, which is really puzzling.

Although Li Yu and other officials didn't know why, after taking the contract handed over by Liu Jin, they couldn't help but show an expression of sudden realization.

Sun Duo did tell a lie just now, this case is probably not as simple as it seems, or the people involved may not be just Sun Duo.

Huichang Marquis Sun Ming and other relatives looked very curious and confused, but when they took the contract to check it, they immediately felt a burst of five thunderbolts.

Things are out of their grasp and are heading for the worst.

Sun Duo noticed everyone's abnormal reactions, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong, and he had already chosen to take it all in.

Song Cheng took back the contract he had just submitted, and this contract was actually a pawn ticket, so he directly explained to everyone: "At first, Yin Yi thought that this was just a case of destroying the door and seizing money, but after learning that Miss Qian was hunted down and killed in the Dongsheng Inn, he realized that things might not be as simple as they seem. After private questioning, Miss Qian learned that his father Qian Fu suddenly had frequent business dealings with Changsheng Pawnshop a year ago, and had borrowed at least 40,000 taels of silver from Changsheng Pawnshop, and these 40,000 taels had purchased a batch of suburban land before the Spring Festival. ”

"What are you doing so far? I killed the people, and what I wanted was the title deed in the hands of the rich and rich! Sun Duo's face suddenly felt unhappy, and he still wanted to take all the charges.

Song Cheng shook his head lightly, and said seriously: "Sun Duo, what you went to the Qian Mansion that day was not to seize the title deed, but to get back the pawn ticket in Qian Gui's hand, but is this the case?" ”

"Not a good one?" Sun Duo rolled his eyes.

Zhu Youzhu put down the teacup and looked at Sun Duo, whose IQ was obviously not high enough, but knew that this kind of person was actually just a "horse", and the real trader must be someone else.

These people are not by force, but by trickery, and it can only be said that the layout behind them must be a master.

It is certainly impossible for a rich man with wisdom and courage like Qian Fu to put all the title deeds in the same basket, nor can he easily find them by outsiders, so the most clever way to do this is to "lure the snake out of the hole".

Song Cheng picked up the pawn ticket in his hand, but shook his head gently: "It's just that this kind of pawn ticket is to be checked, even if you win the pawn ticket, not to mention that you can't pay it, even if you dare to get the pawnshop in exchange for the land deed?" In other words, this pawn ticket actually doesn't need to be cashed out, after all, the prosperous pawnshop is the property of your Changhou Mansion! ”

Yes?

When the people in the hall heard that the prosperous pawnshop turned out to be the property of the Marquis of Huichang, as if they suddenly thought of some possibility, they immediately looked up at Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang.

I see!

When Li Si, the head of the household, heard this information, combined with the fact that the prosperous pawnshop belonged to the property of the Marquis of Huichang, his mind had roughly simulated their "crime process" this time.

It was probably a premeditated crime for the wealthy people to get the suburban title deeds in their hands.

They should have deliberately leaked the news that the imperial court was going to build the outer city of Beijing to Qian Fu, and then lured Qian Fu to take out the hidden title deed and mortgage it, so as to exchange cash for continuing to speculate on the land.

It's just that Qian Fu doesn't seem to know that he has already become a fat sheep to be slaughtered in a prosperous pawnshop.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Sun Duo did not want to seize wealth, but to kill all the relatives of the Qian family and find the hidden pawn tickets.

Since pawn tickets need to pay interest, as long as the Qian family does not come to redeem them as scheduled, then a large number of suburban land deeds belong to prosperous pawnshops.

However, they never expected that Miss Qian would run away from home on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so a fish slipped through the net appeared in the Qian family.

Originally, as long as Miss Qian was eliminated, the whole plan could be said to be seamless. As for the title deeds of those mortgaged in the prosperous pawnshop, it only takes a year and a half to become the thing of the prosperous pawnshop.

Song Cheng put a lot of effort into this case, and immediately pointed out a flaw and said: "According to the investigation of this Fu Yin, the prosperous pawnshop has always been mainly lending, and now it is worth 40,000 taels to Qian Fudang, isn't it strange?" ”

Similar to later generations, lending is actually a very important pillar industry.

Among the many financial institutions in Beijing, Beijing Bonds is the most mature in operation, and they lend to the most high-quality group - officials.

After all, officials have a stable income, and they have a lot of gray income, which is the strongest debt repayment group in this era, so it has become the most favored object of many lending institutions.

Lending institutions seem to be well versed in the truth that it is difficult to get fat alone, so they followed some people to carve up this piece of cake, and the profession of "pulling capital bonds" appeared.

In the "Records of Ming Yingzong", there is a record of the existence of this profession, "There are dozens of scoundrels in Beijing, often in front of the officials, and often lead to the rich family to borrow money and bribe for it. ”

It's just that the interest rate is really high, and only officials can afford it.

In the "Dream of the Golden House", it is recorded that the high profits brought by this kind of debt activities, "The new officials who are elected to take the Beijing account are all six discounts, six taels are counted as ten taels, and fifteen profits per month." In less than a year, it was only sixty taels, and even the original should have been three hundred taels. ”

The Changsheng pawnshop has the support of the Huichang Marquis Mansion behind it, so its main business has always been Beijing bonds, so it is indeed an abnormal behavior to suddenly release a huge loan to the wealthy businessman Qian Fu this time.

"The prosperous pawnshop is indeed the property of our Changhou Mansion, but we have not sought a valuable title deed, so you don't want to spray people here with blood!" Huichang Marquis Sun Ming knew that there were some things that could not be concealed at all, so he took the initiative to admit and accuse.

Song Cheng was unmoved, and immediately pointed the finger at Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang: "Once the imperial court decides to build the outer city of Beijing, then the value of the land deed in Qian Fu's hands will reach hundreds of thousands of taels, and he can't swallow this huge fortune with a small Nancheng deputy thousand households!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

They regarded a tael of silver as a treasure, and even a penny was eager to break it in half to spend, and hundreds of thousands of taels felt that it was an unimaginable number.

If you can really get so many silver taels from Qian Fu, it is really not a matter of destroying the door at once.

It's just that as Song Cheng said, the amount of silver is too big, and a small Nancheng Jinyi deputy Qianhu really can't protect it, even if he is from the Wuchang Marquis Mansion, unless he ......

At this point, the truth has become clearer and clearer, causing many people in the hall to look thoughtfully at Sun Ming, Marquis of Huichang.

"You have no proof, Hugh is going to crawl and bite like a mad dog here!" Sun Ming saw that the matter had burned to himself, and he couldn't care about the image of the Hou Ye.

Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, saw that the matter had burned to the mansion of the Marquis of Huichang, which was the most important relative of Yingzong, and couldn't help but silently turn his head to look at Zhu Youji.

Although the truth of the case is important, the attitude of the Son of Heaven is even more important.

If the Son of Heaven calls for the interrogation to be stopped now, he can give Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, a chance, and he can also give an account to the world by pushing Sun Duo to the guillotine.

After all, all dynasties have governed the people but not power, and the Marquis of Huichang is likely to escape this catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, now that the facts of the case have been clarified, the minister thinks that there is a suspicion of retaliation if he investigates further, so the minister requests that the case be closed immediately!" Changning Bo Zhou Yu knew that only the emperor in front of him could break the siege, so he immediately stood up and asked.

When the head of the household, Li Si and the others heard Chang Ningbo's request, they also turned their heads to look at Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhu knew what these people were thinking, so he asked lightly: "Chang Ningbo, since you said that the facts of the case are clear, can you tell me who is deliberately blaming the secretary of the criminal department behind the scenes?" ”

If it was just a murder case of a person who seized money, he might be able to point it out and behead Sun Duo and explain it to the world. It's just that the reason why I ran out today is not for the real culprit of the Qianfu bloody case.

If it weren't for Song Cheng's ability to peel off the cocoon, then the murderer of this case would be Du Ming, the dignified Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and his emperor, who reused Du Ming and other officials, would also be affected.

From the very beginning, this incident was not to find out the real culprit of the bloody case, but to find out the forces that dared to oppose the court, and even more to eradicate this force.

It has only burned to the Marquis of Wuchang Mansion now, and I am afraid that there is still some distance from the real truth.

This......

As soon as these words came out, Changning Bo Zhou Yu suddenly felt speechless.

Oh, yes? The murderer of the Qianfu murder case can be directly pushed to Sun Duo, but earlier he instructed the leader of the Northern Gang One-Eyed Tiger to kill people and blame Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, but this matter has not yet been investigated.

Compared with the bloody case of the Qian Mansion, someone actually framed and blamed the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, this matter is actually more serious, even if he, Changningbo, can't afford it.

"That's exactly how it should be! How can the dignified criminal department Shangshu allow Xiaoxiao to be framed, this matter must be investigated! Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, knew that it was about the authority and dignity of the imperial court, and immediately made a clear statement.

Officials such as Hubu Shangshu Li Si also reacted, and now they are not only the murderers of the Qian family's bloody case, but also the force that framed the important ministers of the court.

This......

Sun Ming, Marquis of Huichang, felt the emperor's strong will, and couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly.

Things have developed to this point, which has far exceeded his expectations, and it is no longer even a disaster that he can bear. Once it is confirmed that it is related to him, then the Huichang Marquis Mansion, where they have stood for decades, may be buried in his hands.

If I had known this, I would not have been in this troubled water anyway.

"Stop talking? In that case, let's continue the trial! Zhu Youzhu saw Chang Ningbo, who jumped out to stop him, and said nothing, so he ordered lightly.

Song Cheng felt Zhu Youji's strong support behind him, so he made a statement: "Since the Marquis of Huichang refuses to confess, then he has to interrogate the shopkeeper Sun!" ”

In fact, when Zhu Youzhu went to the back house of the government to rest, Song Cheng had already ordered the raid of the Changsheng pawnshop, and the pawn ticket and land deed just now were searched from the Changsheng pawnshop.

It was at this time that a little old man with a mustache was escorted to court.

"My lord is the Marquis of Changchang, and the Changlong pawnshop also has the dry shares of Chang Ningbo and Rui Anbo, why did you close our pawnshop in Shuntianfu?" Shopkeeper Sun shook off the two catchers and shook out of the backstage angrily.

Bastard!

When Zhou Yu and Wang Yuan heard that Shopkeeper Sun actually took the initiative to confess to himself, letting the emperor know that they had the dry shares of a prosperous pawnshop, they immediately felt a chill down their backs.

This matter has developed to the present, and it is no longer about dividing the cake, but about to lose its head every minute.

"My lord, the people have been brought!" Xu Tuiguan stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Shopkeeper Sun, who was about to continue shouting, was suddenly stunned, and said very happily: "Master, you are here!" ”

"Get on your knees!" Zhao Dayan saw that Shopkeeper Sun was still standing, and even scolded him.

Yes? Your Majesty?

Shopkeeper Sun found that Song Cheng was sitting in the wrong position, but when he turned his head to look at the center of the court, his old face was full of surprise.

"Get on your knees!" Xu Tuiguan was about to step forward, and suddenly couldn't help but be stunned.

Shopkeeper Sun's tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, but he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Tong ...... Tong Sheng Sun Zhong can see His Majesty today, although he has no regrets in death! Woohoo......"

Hey?

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Sun Zhong's strong reaction.

Although they have seen some officials who seem very moved when they see the emperor, it is really rare to see Sun Zhong so moved that he cries directly, and of course it is not ruled out that this person is acting online.

Zhu Youzhi was quite surprised to see such a big reaction from this little old man with a beard, and faintly felt that this person's excitement was not pretending.

Song Cheng did not forget his mission, and even asked the case: "Shopkeeper Sun, you should know all the plans of the prosperous pawnshop to make money, right?" ”

"I ......" Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help but vomit when he heard this question.

Song Cheng's heart moved slightly, and he even made a difficulty: "The emperor is here today, do you want to commit the crime of defrauding the monarch and be an unloyal people?" ”

"No, my Sun Zhong is a loyal citizen of the first rank of the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Zhong responded in the affirmative.

Song Cheng saw Sun Zhong's reaction in his eyes, and immediately said lightly: "Then tell everything you know and be a loyal citizen of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Yes...... It's my lord who wants to get rich in the land deed, but I am responsible for recommending new land to Qian Fu and letting him continue to mortgage the land deed, and I don't know anything else! Sun Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed to Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, and shook out the whole story.

This......

Li Yu and other officials couldn't help but be stunned, this little old man with a beard sold his master like this, and he really couldn't underestimate the influence of the emperor.

Finished!

When Sun Ming, Marquis of Huichang, saw that this loyal henchman turned out to be the biggest traitor, and he confessed himself so easily, he immediately felt five thunderbolts.
