Chapter 60 Chapter 120
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Xu Muchen was irrefutable, and Chen Guan, who finally had enough evidence to incriminate him, was even more impatient, and didn't want to entangle him more, so Ding Hao quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
He actually thought of this plan after analyzing the goals of various people, and when Luo Donger talked about Liu Shiyi's plan to frame them and let Wang Yu and Wang Yi brothers play tricks to protect themselves.The specific operation was inspired by a Hong Kong movie "Thousand Kings" he had watched.In that movie, there is a con artist Wang Shangqian. When he gambled with someone, he wrote a check in squid ink to make a bet. However, the other party verified that the check was correct, and when he went to the bank to transfer money, he found that the check was blank.
After watching this plot, he was very curious, and it happened that there were people selling aquatic products in the morning market in his community, so he went to get two squid with ink sacs that had not been cleaned, and wrote a few random words on the paper with squid ink. I did an experiment with a character, and found that the character would disappear.It turns out that the melanin contained in the ink made by squid is a combination of indole and protein. It will be decomposed and completely disappeared after a long time, but the disappearance time is not as fast as in the movie. It is affected by temperature and humidity. The words written in squid ink disappeared quickly and slowly, ranging from a few days to more than ten days.
It is impossible for him to really check Xu Muchen's accounts.Xu Muchen is proficient in accounts and has a meticulous mind. The accounts he made by himself are said to be Ding Hao's second-hand auditing skills.What's more, the entire Zhutou Jieku has almost become Xu Muchen's private world now, and his confidants are all up and down. Ding Hao came here alone, and there are people everywhere, except for the account books with hidden records, there is no help. , How can I find Xu Muchen's handle?
But what does that Zhao Xianggong in the court want?It's nothing more than Liu Zhifu's criminal evidence, and it looks like he is unwilling to give up if he fails to achieve his goal.What does the Ding family want?It's just to protect Ding's family, so as not to be implicated by Liu Zhifu.That Xu Muchen was a cunning rat in the first place, and he deserved what he deserved.Ding Hao asked himself that he was not a master of the blue sky, so why bother to spend manpower and material resources to investigate his real credentials for a long time, but if he uses thunderbolt methods to smash his heart and achieve his goal, then it will be done.So he thought of this squid, with this squid ink, I can't check your secret account, it's still possible to make false testimony.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Ding Hao felt relieved immediately as if a big rock had been lifted from his shoulders.
Ding's family member thought that today's case would go through such a happy trial, and shopkeeper Xu, who was as slippery as a loach, could not catch him in the slightest.Now he is so muddled and put all the evidence on himself, there is no room for defense.Immediately, two servants rushed out of the crowd excitedly, jumped on their horses and ran all the way back to Ding's mansion to report the news.
With such a change in the matter, some of the people watching the trial at the gate of the yamen, who knew a little bit about the details of the case, whispered to each other and secretly admired: Xu Muchen is really a real man with a firm shoulder of morality, his loyalty is unparalleled!I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, in order to keep his boss, he would bear the big crime with all his strength.
Chen Guan asked the clerk to bring the record of the interrogation in front of Xu Muchen, and forced him to press his fingerprints in public, then he slapped the gavel, and with a bang, the gavel was unbearable, and immediately fell apart.Chen Jianguan frowned and said: Bazhou Mansion is in disrepair for a long time, not just the government office, this amazed tree cough!It's time to change too.
Concealing his embarrassment, Chen Jianguan announced complacently: Come on, put the criminal Xu Muchen in prison for the time being to await the verdict, and leave the court!
Xu Muchen knelt there, as if he was in a dream.When the government office caught fire and all the account books were burned, he was ecstatic when he got the news, he only thought that his catastrophe had passed because of the fire, and he still regretted that the fire burned him. One missing magic weapon to hold Ding Tingxun hostage.
How can I imagine that over the years, I have used the wealth of the Ding family to make friends with the government, and in turn used the government to blackmail the Ding family, making profits from it, and the officials and the boss have become pawns at his mercy. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was actually nothing. The person he regarded as a pawn held the real power. He was playing with fire.
In a blink of an eye, success turned into failure, gain turned into loss, eyes full of empty flowers, all illusory, everything that I have been pursuing so hard for decades has become empty.In the past, now that I think about it, all kinds of self-righteous schemes are like licking honey with a knife blade, which is not good enough for a meal, but a disease of cutting your tongue.Thinking up to this point, Xu Muchen was speechless in a daze.
With Chen Guan's resignation, the two yamen servants immediately dragged Xu Muchen with a pale face. Xu Muchen looked like a ghost, his face flushed, and he looked at Ding Hao who was standing beside him, full of bitterness and cares all his life. will go out
In the back house of the Ding Mansion, Ding Chengzong was pushing a wooden cart chair, moving nervously in the courtyard, looking up at the sky from time to time, his usual calm expression was a little anxious at this time, he was rarely so restless .
Ever since he learned that Grandma Liu had someone successfully burn down the mansion's West Kuayuan, he knew that the big thing had come to an end, but he was in the Ding's mansion, and he didn't know how far the lawsuit had gone now, so he was unavoidably irritable. I hope someone will send a message back soon.
Early in the morning, he devoted himself to reading the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" in his study without being disturbed.But he was restless, how could he continue to read this sutra.In the end, I had no choice but to throw the scriptures aside, push the cart alone, and descend from the wooden steps, wandering alone in the garden, listening to the birdsong in the clear wind, the anxiety in my heart was relieved a little.
Suddenly, he saw the maid Lan'er appearing under a flower tree in the distance, looking around furtively, and tiptoely poking through the flowers.Ding Chengzong was suspicious, he opened his mouth to call her, thought for a while, but stopped, and quietly followed after pushing the wheel.
He is naturally familiar with the paths in his mansion and the garden, although he is not as nimble as Lan'er when riding a wheeled cart, but he can still keep up.Turning around a rockery, he suddenly lost sight of Lan'er. Ding Chengzong wandered around, and suddenly found a corner of the skirt behind the banana tree in front of him. The pomegranate-colored skirt was exactly the one the lady liked to wear.This is his private house, except for his wife, there are only a few servants who wait on him. The servant girls will not wear such expensive jacquard and embroidered clothes. What is the lady doing here alone?
Ding Chengzong felt even more amazed, so he carefully pushed the wheels and drove forward slowly.The oil-filled axle rolled silently, and when he got closer, he heard the urgent voice of his wife from behind the tree: You are crazy, what are you doing here in broad daylight?
Ding Chengzong became suspicious, grabbed the wheel with both hands, and wanted to rush over to see what happened. At this time, another person's voice sounded. When he heard this person's voice, it sounded like a thunder in his chest. , as if he had been immobilized, he couldn't move anymore.
After a long time, his swaying son finally got attached to his body, and he heard the man behind the tree say: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, brother really misses you very much, you just follow me, just be gentle, to comfort the lovesickness, brother go away.Hearing that voice, it was indeed his brother Ding Chengye.
Lu Xiangwu spat lightly: "What is it like in broad daylight? You and I ignore human relations and kiss each other skin to skin. I'm sorry for him. Do you still want to do such mediocre things in the daytime?"How do you respect me and love me, enemy, are you teasing him like a fan?
Ding Chengye smirked and said: If you don't respect you and disrespect you, why can't my brother come to look for you at this hour?The eldest brother is inconvenient to move now, what is he afraid of, what is he doing now?
Wasn't it because of the case of Ding's family that he woke up early in the morning with a lot of thoughts, and now he is reading scriptures in the study.
Ding Chengye said happily: "It's just that the heavens are here to make fun of you. My eldest brother is now a monk-like figure, but my brother I don't have the patience to read scriptures. My good sister-in-law, this little monk under my brother needs a female Bodhisattva to enlighten me personally. My sister-in-law, please don't delay." , let's come to participate in this happy Zen.
There was a soft cry from behind the tree, followed by the sound of smacking tongue, only to hear Lu Xiangwu's coquettish cry, and then even the banana tree shook.
Ding Chengzong’s eyes were full of stars, his temples were throbbing, he gritted his teeth, pushed the car vigorously, turned around the tree, and saw his wife bent over to support a small green tree next to the plantain, with scattered black hair and almond eyes. Slightly squinting, half of her robes were taken off, and a pair of white breasts dangling in the loose skirts could be vaguely seen.
His own brother Ding Chengye lifted up her skirt, pressed it tightly behind her buttocks, stroked her arms with both hands, salivated and said with a smile: Sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of breasts, which are fragrant and slippery, really love Dead brother!
Good job you guys have done!Ding Chengzong pointed at them, his lips were trembling, his arms were trembling, and the golden stars were dragging and dancing in front of his eyes. The ugly appearance of the two seemed to be floating in the sky. It's like passing it back.
Flaubert said an irrefutable truth: the husband who wears a cuckold is always the last to know.Ding Chengzong is exactly like this, the businessman pays more attention to profits than parting. He knows that he has really neglected this beautiful wife for the sake of his family, but he asks himself that all the hard work he has put in is for this family and her.Why why is she so unwilling to be lonely?What is especially distressing is that she and her uncle did such a thing against human relations.Love turned into hatred, kisses became enemies, Ding Chengzong's heart was pierced like a knife, and his tiger eyes were filled with tears before he knew it.
When Lu Xiangwu and Ding Chengye saw him appear, they jumped away with a cry of surprise, and put on their clothes at a loss. Seeing the ugly appearance of the two, Ding Chengzong said with tearing eyes: "My good lady, I Good brothers, how are you, how are you
Ding Chengzong laughed bitterly, and the whole person rolled off the chair in the dust, his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and he was no longer unconscious.
Chengye, I'm really afraid what happened to him?Lu Xiangwu was so terrified that she snuggled into Ding Chengye's arms, and could hardly stand if she hadn't grabbed his clothes.
Ding Chengye's heart beat like a drum, although according to Yanjiu's idea today, he intended to let Ding Chengzong bump into him to trigger his illness attack, but he didn't know the root of the efficacy of the strange medicine that Yanjiu had repeatedly promised, so he was also scared Not light.He had no choice but to calm down, patted Lu Xiangwu's fragrant shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I've done everything, what else can I do?"You listen to me, go back quickly, you must be calm, don't show any flaws, everything here is entrusted to me, as long as you do it properly, you will be able to stay together forever.You go, hurry back.
Lu Xiangwu's heart jumped like a deer, and she was ashamed, she didn't dare to look at Ding Chengzong again, she lifted her skirt and fled in a panic.Ding Chengye hurried up to Ding Chengzong, tested his breath, opened his eyelids to look at his pupils, then looked left and right, and walked away quickly
As soon as Ding Chengye left, a bush parted, and Lan'er walked out of it lightly and skillfully. Seeing Ding Chengye leaving in a hurry, she spat contemptuously, and then pretended to be panic-stricken, and opened her mouth and shouted: Come on! Ah, come quickly, the young master is unconscious
When the court hearing was over, the three classes of yamen servants filed down the hall, and many spectators from the yamen also dispersed.Scimitar Xiaoliu jumped up and down in the crowd and shouted: Brother, we are here, here, brother is the host today, let's go to Zhiqiao Restaurant to have fun.
Ding Hao smiled, and was about to move over, when County Captain Zhao had already caught up and said: "Brother Ding, stop and sit in the official room."
After Ding Hao heard this, he had to make a sign with Machete Little Six, and followed Zhao Xianwei to the side yamen, Tieniu shouted loudly: "Brother Ding Hao, we are waiting for you at the Zhiqiao Restaurant, and we have finished our work." Come as soon as possible.
Ding Hao raised his hand, followed Zhao Xian around the corner and disappeared, the big head asked worriedly: "It's okay to eat brother's wine, but we want to celebrate for brother, do you have money in your pocket?"
Machete Xiaoliu took out ten big coins, weighed them in his hand and said: Isn't this money?
The big head looked worried about the country and the people and said: "Ten qian, can I have a feast of wine?"
Wan Xiaoliu smiled and said: "It's just the capital, the eldest brother was left behind, it's just convenient for us to do things, go, and get money for the wine."The three brothers left the government office excitedly.
When Ding Hao arrived at Wei Zhao's room, County Captain Zhao poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit, brother, brother, I have heard, seen, and handled many cases over the years, but I just can't guess you." The method is really amazing.
Ding Hao said with a smile: "It's just a small skill, a heretic thing, used once or twice can produce miraculous results, but it can't stand up to a big scene. If you really want to talk about it, you have to be upright to do big things. It's impossible to rely on such small tricks that don't appear on the stage."
County Captain Zhao laughed and said, "Brother, you are too modest. It is a great skill to be able to conclude this case satisfactorily."Not much to say, brother, let's get straight to the point. I still want you to work by my side. If you are willing to come, I will immediately entrust you with an errand, brother Ding. What do you think?
Hearing this, Ding Hao could only smile wryly. When no one cared about him before, he seemed to be strong without desire, and he only focused on walking towards the predetermined goal, but there was no hindrance.Now, General Cheng has repeatedly expressed his appreciation, and in his capacity, being able to do this is already an attitude of trying to solicit.Zhao Xianwei's place here can be called Sangu Thatched Cottage.As for the Ding family, the Ding family that he had dismissed at first, Mr. Ding was moved with affection, reason, and kindness. What a great sage can do.Ding Hao is not hard-hearted, how can he not be moved by it?
It may not be a long time to integrate into this world, but Ding Hao, who values love and righteousness, has unknowingly accepted some content of the ancients' thoughts and values, those things that were abandoned by later generations along with the dross.The husband has clear grievances and grievances, no matter what, he must have a clear explanation to Ding Chengzong before he can make a decision.
Thinking of this point, Ding Hao euphemistically said: Ding Hao has his old lady and Mr. Ding's appreciation and kindness, so he really can't make a choice at the moment.Mr. Zhao should take the lead in Xu Muchen's case.If there are no accidents, Mr. Zhao in Bianjing City must have something to say, so why not wait for Mr. Zhao to decide what to do, how about we discuss it again?
Zhao Xianwei heard that his tone this time was not as decisive as before, so he said happily: "Okay, then you must think about it carefully when you go back. When you have made a decision, no matter when, just come to me."
Ding Hao agreed, and the two chatted for a while, Ding Hao stood up and said goodbye, and the county captain Zhao sent him out, when a man sent by the yamen came to report: "Master county captain, the observer is welcome."
Ding Hao smiled, cupped his hands and said: Sir, please stop, Ding Hao will take his leave.Hehe, Ding Hao congratulates you in advance.
Zhao Xianwei smiled happily, this Ding Hao is really a wonderful person, just scratching his itch.Grateful, he sent Ding Hao out of the house regardless of Mr. Observer waiting, and then turned to see Chen Observer.When Chen observed Captain Zhao, he was full of praise. County Captain Zhao was also a veteran who had been in the officialdom for 20 years. Push it to Chen Guan.Chen observes Dayue, Zhao Xianwei is witty and sophisticated, and he has contributed a lot to subduing cunning people. He deserves to be rewarded. After returning to Bianliang, he will report Zhao Xianggong's promise and agree.
In front of the officials, Zhao Xianggong is a person who is indistinguishable. Most of the officials in the court are recommended by him. The testimonials were returned.Zhao Xianggong was not annoyed either, he followed him like brown sugar and still recommended blindly.If the official gets angry and throws away the recommendation book, Zhao Xianggong will go to pick it up, the official will tear the recommendation book to pieces, Zhao Xianggong will stick it again, and the next morning, the recommendation book will definitely appear again The official's desk tortured the official to no avail, so he had to agree.Therefore, anyone recommended by Zhao Xianggong is really sure to be promoted.Since Chen Jianguan said so, his official position is definitely promoted.
The two complimented each other a lot, Chen observed the merits, and Zhao Xianwei got his recommendation, both sides were satisfied, and the two officials couldn't help laughing
