Chapter 74: Impartial and selfless

Dou Lianzhong said sarcastically: "Master Mo wants me to establish written evidence, so naturally I have nothing to say."

"Wait a minute!" Mo Fuyin raised his hand and said: "This official did not ask you to establish this document. The so-called repayment of debts. Since you destroyed the heirloom of Jinyihou Mansion, you should give an explanation. .Whether this document is established or not is not up to the official, but to you. If you establish the document, the case will end here. Next, you only need to discuss compensation matters with the Jinyihou Mansion. If you do not establish this document, If you are willing to stand down, it doesn't matter. I can hand over today's files to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will discuss and handle the case."

"Absolutely not." Dou Lianzhong said hurriedly: "I will establish the written evidence now."

He knew in his heart that the six departments of Chu were independent. The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Husband each had their own affairs. Although they had to coordinate with each other on specific matters, they could not interfere in each other's affairs.

If today's case is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, once it spreads, the two fatal points recorded above may be used by someone to cause trouble.

At the moment, the only thing I can do is to follow Mo Fuyin's wishes and establish the documents first, so that the files will not spread, and then discuss with his family how to deal with it later.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready. Under Mo Fuyin's gaze, Dou Lianzhong walked over and wrote the document and handed it to Mo Fuyin. Mo Fuyin took a look at it, frowned slightly, waved to Yang Ning, and asked: " What do you think of this document? If you can, sign it now."

"No." Yang Ning glanced at it and said immediately: "It says about smashing the glazed horse. Dou Lianzhong, are you trying to manipulate the text? What you destroyed is the heirloom of our Jinyihou Mansion. , not a glazed horse."

"What I destroyed was the glazed horse. I don't care whether it is a family heirloom or not." Dou Lianzhong said angrily: "I am establishing the evidence truthfully."

Mo Fuyin frowned and said: "It seems that you two will continue to be entangled. I can't do anything but transfer it to the Ministry of Punishment...!"

Dou Lianzhong paused immediately and said helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Mo, I... I just write it according to his wishes." He glanced at Yang Ning bitterly and created a new document. Yang Ning took it and was satisfied. Mo Fuyin asked Dou Lianzhong to sign and fingerprint, and then handed the receipt to Yang Ning. Yang Ning put it in his arms and said with a smile: "Mr. Dou, we will discuss how to compensate him first, so don't worry. I don’t know how to open my mouth like a lion.”

Dou Lianzhong was angry. He raised his hands to Mo Fuyin and said, "Master Mo, Dou will leave first!" Turning to leave, Yang Ning shouted: "Mr. Dou, please inform Zhao Xin that you can go to my house at any time. To receive compensation, I, the Marquis of Jinyi Mansion, will pay all debts and will never default on their debts."

Dou Lianzhong snorted coldly and left in a huff.

Yang Ning then raised his hands to Mo Fuyin and said: "Master Mo, thank you for upholding justice. Qining is grateful!"

He is a smart man, and he can naturally see that although Mo Fuyin seems to be fair today, he is actually favoring himself.

In fact, before he entered the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, he had made preparations to make Dou Lianzhong establish this word through a battle of wits and strength.

However, things progressed more smoothly than he expected. Mo Fuyin caught Dou Lianzhong's two mistakes and recorded them in the book. It was with this file that Dou Lianzhong had to establish evidence.

He felt a little strange in his heart, thinking to himself, could it be possible that Mo Fu Yin and the Jin Yi Hou Mansion were related? Otherwise, why would you protect yourself

But since Dou Lianzhong dared to let the Kyoto Prefecture hear the case, it proved that Mo Fuyin had no friendship with the Jinyihou Mansion, otherwise Dou Lianzhong would never bring the matter to the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen.

Mo Fuyin is known as "Mo Tieduan", he is selfless and solves cases like a god. Although the trial today cannot be said to be unfair, there is some degree of partiality in it, which is quite abnormal for a selfless person.

Mo Fuyin looked calm, without the slightest smile. He stood up and walked away. The clerk followed behind with the file in his arms. Neither of them said a word.

Yang Ning and Zhao Wushang looked at each other, feeling strange.

When Mo Fuyin walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and made a gesture. The clerk bowed his body and went out first. The four officials also left quickly.

"Yesterday you rescued a child at the flower market?" Mo Fuyin suddenly asked without turning his head, "Why did you save him?"

Yang Ning never expected that Mo Fuyin would suddenly ask this question. He was startled for a moment. He thought of the child who was rescued from the hooves of the Prince of Shu at the flower market yesterday. His body trembled slightly and he suddenly thought of Lei Yonghu.

He remembered that Yuan Rong said at that time that Lei Yonghu was not from the governor of Kyoto, but was related to the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't think much about it at the time, but he immediately realized something.

"When a horse's hoof hurts someone, I'm right next to it. No matter who is injured, I will never stand by and watch." Yang Ning thought for a moment and then said: "Master Mo, do you need a reason to save someone?"

Mo Fuyin said calmly: "There are a lot of people standing by and watching." After a pause, he said: "I heard that you were injured while trying to save the child, and you said that if you were not careful, your own life would be in danger?"

"That's an exaggeration." Yang Ning said with a smile: "Even if I am really stepped on by a horse's hoof, I will be paralyzed at most, and it should not kill me."

Mo Fuyin nodded slightly, turned around slowly, put his hands behind his back, looked Yang Ning up and down, and said with a serious smile, "Your courage and courage are indeed very similar to your father." Then his face darkened and he said: "But your father's courage was used to protect the family and the country, but your courage was used to defraud."

"Ah?" Yang Ning said immediately: "Master Mo, you...!"

Mo Fuyin sneered and said: "How can you hide it from my eyes with your little tricks? What kind of family heirloom? What kind of gift from the late emperor? It's just an ordinary glazed horse. Going to the market, that kind of glazed horse can't take more than three years." Five taels of silver, what about the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper, do you think you can deceive me?"

Yang Ning knew in his heart that Mo Tieduan knew his plans clearly, but even though he knew this, the other party still protected him, and he became more and more certain that the children he saved must be related to Mo Fuyin.

"It's just this once, we won't do it next time." Mo Fuyin looked coldly and continued without waiting for Yang Ning to speak: "I will have people investigate the fire in your pawn shop in detail." Without saying more, he turned and left.

After Mo Fuyin left, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhao Wushang in a low voice: "What is Mo Fuyin's name?"

"Iron-bone Zheng, Mo Zheng!" Zhao Wushang said simply and clearly.

The two left Kyoto Mansion and returned to the Hou Mansion. As soon as they arrived in the hall, Gu Qinghan was already waiting in the hall. When he saw Yang Ning coming back, he immediately got up and came over. With a look of worry on his pretty face, he asked: "Ning'er, you guys go Kyoto Prefecture? What’s going on?”

Yang Ning smiled and told the whole story in detail. Gu Qinghan's beautiful big eyes widened and she said in surprise: "You mean Dou Lianzhong made a written statement?"

Yang Ning took out the written certificate from his arms and handed it to Gu Qinghan. Gu Qinghan glanced at it and was even more surprised when he saw the signature and stamp on it: "A family heirloom?"

"It's just an ordinary glazed horse." There was no one around, so Yang Ning naturally wouldn't hide it from Gu Qinghan: "This is the only way to deal with people like Dou Lianzhong. With this word in his hand, that Zhao Xin didn't dare to do it anymore I came to claim the debt, and when I got in the mood, I came to collect the debt with the receipt."

Gu Qinghan was still worried about how to deal with such a huge compensation, but he didn't want Yang Ning to resolve it easily and said with a smile: "You kid, don't use this kind of tricks in the future. If people know the truth, it will be fine. "

"Since it is used, naturally no one will know about it." Yang Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sanniang, such a method depends on the person. It is difficult to deal with people like Dou Lianzhong while being fair and aboveboard." He lowered his voice and said: " But we still have to be on guard against the Dou family, this time it should have disrupted their plan, there is no guarantee that they will not use other tricks."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and Manager Qiu's voice came from outside the door: "Is the third lady here?"

"Come in." Gu Qinghan greeted him. Manager Qiu came in. Gu Qinghan had already asked, "How are things going over there?"

"I have already made an agreement with the owners to count the losses in the next few days and then give us half a month." Mr. Qiu said: "They are all old neighbors, so they have no objections. I made an estimate. The total cost of the several companies is about 10,000 taels of silver. In addition to Zhao Xin's silver, the pawn shop also has more than 20,000 taels of silver. If the total is not more than 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver, we can't pass this hurdle." He sighed. , said: "The cash in the house now adds up to less than two thousand taels... Third Madam, this is really a crisis."

Gu Qinghan frowned. Although Yang Ning had solved Dou Lianzhong's side and Xin Zhao had left more than 10,000 taels of silver aside for the time being, the compensation for others was indispensable. Even if Xin Zhao's money was removed, at least there would still be more. Forty thousand taels of silver can fill the current hole in the Hou Mansion.

The Jinyi Hou Mansion has been very clean and honest since the old Marquis. Apart from normal income, there is no other gray income. Three thousand food, plus hundreds of hectares of land and two store profits, in fact, it is only five or six dollars a year. Ten thousand taels of silver, in terms of apparent income alone, is already considered an extremely generous income in Dachu.

In fact, the annual expenses of the Hou Mansion are far lower than this amount.

"There is no news from Jiangling so far. Something must have happened." Manager Qiu suddenly said: "Third Madam, we are currently counting on Jiangling's money to meet the emergency. If even Jiangling's money cannot be delivered, this way It's impossible to get over it. Do you think we should send someone there again?"

"We have sent people there several times, but there has been no news." Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "Manager Qiu, please prepare yourself. I will leave today for Jiangling!"

"Ah?" Manager Qiu said anxiously: "Third Madam, do you want to go to Jiangling in person?"

Gu Qinghan said: "This has been delayed for more than a month. This is a unique thing. Something big must have happened." He glanced at Yang Ning, but thought about what Yang Ning said before, and felt that Jiangling Taxation probably did not happen alone. Yang Ning guessed that the Jiangling tax bank was involved in the fire and even the assassination in another hospital. There was a black hand behind it. Gu Qinghan also felt that it made sense, "I must go to Jiangling in person."

"But here... Third Madam, why don't I go there and you stay in the house." Manager Qiu thought for a moment and then said, "I will definitely bring back the tax money when I go."

"Mr. Qiu, you are the one who usually comes into contact with those people outside." Gu Qinghan said: "I am a woman and it is not easy for me to show my face. You should stabilize those people here first and try to get them to agree to postpone it for a while. I will hurry up." Go and come back quickly."

"But I'm really worried about the third lady going there." Manager Qiu said with a wry smile.

Gu Qinghan said: "Don't worry, my hometown is also in Jiangling, and I'm very familiar with it."

"I will go with Sanniang." Yang Ning suddenly said: "With me by Sanniang's side, everything will be safe and sound."
