There were people in the court, and Sun Baihu's family was still kneeling in the corner. Lord Yao was just killing the second son of Min, so after he knelt down and saluted, he got up.

As for Mr. Chu, although he was detained for several days, Lord Yao did not take any punishment. He was not guilty of not being able to go out, but was just in poor spirits, especially when he looked at Zhan Feiyu, his eyes were gloomy and horrifying.

"Report to the Lord, the lower-ranking officials did not do well enough that they almost caused a disaster. Please punish them." As soon as Chu Chenshi spoke, he took retreat as a step forward.

It was indeed because of the mistakes of the Chief Commander of Zhan Feiyu without any evidence. However, as the deputy chief of the Chief Commander, he was a fourth-rank official of the court, and was one of the officials who were tried in the Third Chiefs this time.

He is qualified to order the arrest of Zhan Feiyu, a young scholar.

As for the arrest, if it is a false and wrong case, it is found that it was Chu Qianshi who wrongly accused Zhan Feiyu, and there is a court and Lord Yao, Commander Xie conscripts convicted him of dereliction of duty.

But Zhan Feiyu fought against the tolerance for arresting herself in the court, which was her fault.

The west wind between Chu Qianshi and Zhan Feiyu either overwhelms the east wind or overwhelms the west wind. Chu Qianshi's crime is less, and Zhan Feiyu's crime is more serious.

Especially Sun Baihu, who was still lying on the door panel, was about to die. The crime of murder was still the military officer of the Wei Institute. The charge was detained on Zhan Feiyu's head. Even if Gu Xueshi was here, he would give Zhan Feiyu.

It is not easy to clear the charges.

"Report to my master, I also want to sue Zhan Feiyu for committing the crime." Mr. Min added fuel to the fire.

It was probably because of the fact that he had kneeled down before. Although Young Master Min was still arrogant and arrogant, he at least did not dare to regard Suzhou Prefecture as a place to act wildly.

A fierce and vicious look at Zhan Feiyu, and the second young master Min continued: "Sun Baihu was seriously injured and lay in the clinic. The doctor who was visiting the hospital would need a hundred years of ginseng to hang his life, so I sent two nursing staff

The courtyard went to find Zhan Feiyu."

After a pause, a gloomy sneer appeared on his pale face, "Who knew that Zhan Feiyu, relying on the name of Master Gu, not only injured my Min family's guard, but also turned black and white to send people to him.

The government is here, and I would like to punish such a madman who bullies others and ignores human lives with such power!”

Commander Xie showed his first smile when he entered the Suzhou Prefecture Office, and his loud voice sounded, "It is said that the Min family's family is clean and upright. When I saw this today, I will thank the second son for his righteous actions on behalf of the grandfather Baihu."

"Commander Xie is polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It is a slight effort." Mr. Min returned a bow to Command Xie, and then continued to say to Lord Yao, who was hanging under the plaque with a mirror, "At that time,"

In order to make Zhan Feiyu believe it, the guards brought Sun Baihu's waist-baring brand."

Mr. Min's explanation completely cleaned up the charge of stealing waist cards.

Zhao Tongzhi and other officials from Suzhou Government Office who were attending the auditor looked serious. They almost died under the butcher knife of Sun Baihu and others that day. Later, they were protected by Zhan Feiyu's entourage and retreated to the government office, and almost burned to death.

.

But now he heard Chu Qianshi's clever tongue and black and white were reversed. Although Zhao Tongzhi and others were so angry that their faces turned pale, they could not refute them. They couldn't help but worry about Zhan Feiyu who was in trouble.

Compared with the proud Mr. Chu, the second son of Min, or the worried and anxious Zhao Tongzhi, Lord Yao looked solemn and calm, and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Feiyu, do you want to defend yourself?"

Zhan Feiyu stepped forward, and there was no trace of worry on his pretty and fair face. "Sir, the student wants to accuse Mr. Chu of the intention to murder the student and Zhao Tongzhi of Suzhou Government."

"All nonsense!" The scolding sound suddenly sounded, and Mr. Chu had a gloomy face, "Zhan Feiyu, do you know what the crime of accusing the imperial court of appointing an official? I thought that when you were young, I was confused for a moment and didn't plan to pursue it, but you didn't know

After all, if you make mistakes again and again, don’t blame me for being selfless!”

"Get back!" A loud voice sounded again, and Commander Xie said angrily to Chief Chu: "If you know that the law is broken, this Commander will definitely punish you severely! Miss Zhan, do you have evidence? The Commander Office cannot tolerate anything

A criminal offender!”

Ignoring the hypocritical commander Xie, Zhan Feiyu looked at Lord Yao and said, "I'll ask you to have someone come to court."

"It's accurate." Lord Yao responded, and he was a little confused. It seems that it is still unknown who will win.

While everyone was waiting in surprise, they saw three people being arrested and taken to court. The middle-aged man led by the leader was full of wealth, "Grassman Tong Mingyuan paid a visit to the Lord."

"Get up and say, Tong Mingyuan, who are you?" asked Lord Yao, who is dressed like a merchant.

Lord Yao’s guess is not wrong. Tong Mingyuan is indeed a businessman, a businessman selling oil. He has a batch of tung oil in his hand. He originally planned to sell it to a medicine shop. The tung oil has throat numbness, carbuncles, scabies, swelling, frostbite, and chapped

The efficacy.

But because of improper preservation, they could only be sold as lamp oil at a low price. However, the people in Longyoudao are not rich, and very few people can afford lamp oil. They all go to bed when it gets dark and light candles even when they get up at night.

"When I go back to my sir, Cao Min thought he wanted to transport the tung oil back to the southwest road. Not to mention making money, he had to pay back. So Cao Min thought that even if he lost money, he would be better off selling it. It just happened that Hongzhangguan, the grocery store.

I am willing to buy these tung oils."

When Tong Mingyuan said this, all the people in the court understood that the tung oil that Mr. Chu wanted to set fire to the government office was bought from the grocery store.

"This is just a coincidence." Young Master Min sneered coldly. If the Yao surnamed did not give face to the second prince and the Min family, and the second prince Min was acting arrogantly, he would have directly asked the constable to put Zhan Feiyu in prison.

It's right.

Lord Zheng, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Tong Mingyuan, how many kilograms of tung oil have you sold to the grocery store this time?"

"Sir, there are a total of 1,000 kilograms of tung oil, at a price of 50 cents per kilogram, and a total of 50 taels of silver were sold." Tong Mingyuan did not dare to hide it at all, and even presented the account book he brought over.

Fifty taels of silver say that it is not much, but less, but it is not much. After all, this tung oil is a flawed product and can only be sold at a low price. The salary of the constable in the court is only two taels of silver. Tong Mingyuan's transaction is almost the same.

It is the salary of a constable for one year.

Lord Yao handed the account book in his hand to the minor official and asked him to pass it to Lord Zheng and the others for a look. "Captain Hu, you are familiar with Suzhou Prefecture. I ask you how the business of Xinglong grocery store is?"

Captain Hu quickly made an estimate in his mind, "Xinglong grocery store is at the end of Sifang Street, and Manager Hong is also good at operating it. The shop business is good. According to Beiye, it is estimated that it can make at least 100 taels of profit a year."

The salaries of officials in the Daqing Dynasty were high, and Zhao Tongzhi was a fifth rank, with a annual salary of 200 taels.

A small grocery store bought the defective tung oil for fifty taels of silver. This is intriguing. This thousand kilograms of tung oil can't be sold for five or six years.

Since it cannot be sold, why did the shopkeeper Hong of the grocery store buy these tung oil? It just so happened that Mr. Chu wanted to burn the government office, and this less than a thousand kilograms of tung oil came in handy. It was a coincidence that it was difficult for people to think about it.

"Come on, bring all the shopkeepers and clerks of Xinglong Grocery Store to the court!" Lord Yao gave the order, and Captain Hu immediately took the order.

During the waiting time, Chu Qianshi's expression looked a little ugly, but his expression was not anxious or nervous. I think he had been fully prepared.

Zhan Feiyu was still standing aside with a god, and looked at Sun Baihu lying on the door panel. As long as it was confirmed that Chu Qianshi planned to kill someone, Sun Baihu was an accomplice, and even if he died, he would not cause any trouble.

Xinglong Grocery Store was very close to the government office, otherwise Mr. Chu would not have sent someone to buy tung oil from the grocery store that day. In less than a quarter of an hour, Manager Hong and the young man entered the government office in a panic expression.

"Grass people pay homage to the Lord..." The voices were trembling, and Manager Hong knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Previously, Manager Hong also recorded a confession in the yamen, confirming that the tung oil that almost burned the government office was bought from his shop, but he was just a merchant. The official bought tung oil with the money, and Manager Hong was not

Dare not to sell.

I thought the matter was over, but who knew I would be called to court again.

"Shopkeeper Hong, I asked you if that thousand kilograms of tung oil were not bought, how would you deal with the tung oil?" Lord Yao's face was majestic, and his sharp eyes were even more staring at the shopkeeper Hong kneeling below.

"If you are wise, Xiangwu County was besieged by barbarians before, and many people's homes fell on fire on that day. Caomin heard from the carpenters in Xiangwu County that there was a lot of furniture there. Caomin saw that these tung oils were cheap,

I just thought about buying at a low price and then I would go to Yingwu County to sell it at a high price."

These tung oils are defective products and cannot be used for medicinal use. They can be used to paint furniture. If you really want to sell lamp oil, it will probably take ten years to sell it.

After saying this, Zhan Feiyu understood that when he was guarding the city that day, he poured hot oil at first, but even during the Chinese New Year, every household did not store much oil. Later, he boiled boiled water and poured it downstairs.

.

The most useless thing in boiling water is firewood. The situation was critical that night, so we could only use materials nearby. Therefore, the firewood stored in the homes of people near the city gate was not enough to burn, so we could only split the furniture of every household as firewood.

"Sir, next year is the year of a widow, so the girl's family will be scheduled for this year. At that time, it will definitely be necessary to make a lot of furniture, and the tung oil of Caomin can be sold at a high price." Manager Hong does have the means to do business.

These two explanations are reasonable.

Chu Qianshi turned his head and looked at the calm Zhan Feiyu sarcastically, "As the saying goes, no coincidence will be made, Miss Zhan, do you have any evidence to take it out together."

"Shopkeeper Hong, Xinglong grocery store usually closes at the end of You hour, but on that day, you went to the money shop at the beginning of You hour and withdrew fifty taels of silver."

"A quarter of an hour later, Zhangguin Tong happened to come to the grocery store to sell tung oil. You two hit it off. After you paid 50 taels of silver, Zhangguin Tong asked the client to drive over the carriage parked in the inn and move a thousand kilograms of tung oil to the house.

The grocery store happened to be at the end of the You hour, and you closed the door until the next morning, the person sent by Chu Qianshi came to the shop to buy tung oil."

Zhan Feiyu opened his mouth slowly, and his clear eyes looked at the shocked shopkeeper Hong. He probably didn't expect Zhan Feiyu to know so much, even when he went to the money shop and when he closed the shop.

Clearly.

It can be said to be a coincidence when buying and selling tung oil, but I took out the silver a quarter of an hour before selling tung oil, and it happened to be fifty taels. This is far-fetched to say it is a coincidence.

On a cold day, Manager Hong's forehead was sweating and he rubbed his fingers unconsciously, "Sir, the reason why Cao Min took out fifty taels of silver from the money shop that day was because he knew that Manager Tong wanted to sell it at a low price.

Tung oil.”

"Caomin has always been cautious in doing business and does not want Tong Zhanggui to raise prices temporarily, so he asked about the price of the tung oil beforehand, so he took out the money in advance. He planned to go to the inn to discuss business with Tong Zhanggui on the second day, but he didn't expect Tong Zhanggui to

The person actually came to the door, which made this coincidence.”

Zhan Feiyu smiled when he heard this, "Just as Manager Hong said, you are cautious in doing business. That's because you were stolen by your nephew five years ago, and from then on, you never stay in the shop.

If you give up the silver, you will bring the silver home every day. If you want to purchase goods or have good business on that day, if the silver exceeds ten taels, you will send the silver to the bank to deposit it."

Manager Hong raised his head suddenly, and was so shocked that his eyes widened. Except for himself, his parents and his wife and children knew about this.

One hundred taels of silver were stolen from the shop by his nephew. Manager Hong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. But he had already escaped. Manager Hong didn't want outsiders to make jokes, so he hid the matter.

But from then on, Manager Hong was extremely cautious and did not put much money in the shop. Even his wife and children were not relieved that they kept the money, and they put it in the money shop.

Whenever you want to purchase goods, Manager Hong will go to the money shop to get the silver that day, and they will pass by a quarter of an hour in advance, for fear that the time will be too early and put the withdrawn silver in the shop, and then it will be stolen again. This habit
