"Bold Pan Fuqiang, you don't know you are committing a crime, do I know! A huge robbery occurred in Nanyang, a neighboring county. Some people were killed in this case, most of them dead. According to official reports, a group of bandits committed the crime, and there were people in Nanyang and Xiangyang.
, the Nanyang branch has been brought to justice, but Xiangyang has not yet found out. The Nanyang side confessed, saying that Pan Fuqiang participated in the case and received a lot of money. Nanyang Prefecture has sent an official document to assist in the investigation. Naturally, I need to assist in the investigation. I
So I came to the house to have a look, so that I can get to the bottom of it and report it to Nanyang Mansion to avoid making the same mistake next time, to avoid arresting the wrong person, and to avoid bending the law." Yin Jian said angrily.
When Pan Fuqiang and his wife heard this, their faces turned pale with fright and they trembled. Pan's wife said: "Master, I'm sorry. My shopkeeper is always at home and hasn't gone anywhere. There's no way he could go and rob. He's even afraid of killing a chicken."
, how could it possibly harm someone?”
"Bold! I didn't ask you, why are you talking?" Yin Jian said.
"Sir, my wife is right. I haven't been anywhere these days. The case in Nanyang has nothing to do with me!" Pan Fuqiang said.
"Nanyang said that they gave you a jar of silver, specifically two hundred ingots. You must have hidden the silver," Yin Jian said.
"Mr. Qingtian, they are talking nonsense. I don't have the money at all. If you don't believe it, I can check it out. If it is found out, I will be severely punished." Pan Fuqiang said.
Seeing Pan Fuqiang's attitude, Yin Jian thought to himself that he had an idea and secretly admired Bu Huishu's wisdom.
"Okay, this is what you said personally. I won't make it difficult for you. As long as you are found out, you are willing to be punished. This will be much easier to handle. I will now let everyone start searching your home. If they are found, you will accept the punishment. If
If we can't find it, we will go back home and investigate the charges of false accusation in Nanyang." Yin Jian said.
"Sir, I don't dare to lie. I definitely didn't participate in the robbery case. The Nanyang case was purely a false accusation. Can you please tell me who reported me?" Pan Fuqiang asked.
"It's definitely inconvenient. I and Nanyang Mansion have to protect the informant for many years. We can't just ignore the informer once we have the information. If we ignore it, there will be no informant in the future and we will encounter difficult cases again.
, it does take more work." Yin Jian said.
"Sir, Pan Fuqiang will never conceal anything. If a kid did it, he will definitely admit it. If it wasn't a kid, he will definitely deny it." Pan Fuqiang said, wanting to dissuade Yin Jian from his wrong actions by expressing his stance.
He thought it was wrong and that he was wronging a good person, but Yin Jian didn't think so.
"Are you willing for me to come and search? If you are willing, it means you have a good attitude! If you are not willing, it means there is something wrong in your mind." Yin Jian said.
"The little one is upright, walks the right path, and is not afraid of slanted shadows. I hope that the big master will not ruin his reputation. It is obviously not a small robbery, but I want to say a small robbery. Once the small reputation is ruined, the reputation of the adult will also be affected." Pan
Fu Qiang said.
"why would you say so?"
"Young man really didn't commit any robbery. Well, if you don't believe anything, let's search it!" Pan Fuqiang said. When he saw this situation, there was no room for negotiation. Instead of talking nonsense, it would be better to let them find it.
Impossible to find it, he thought to himself, raising the corners of his mouth with a sly smile.
"Search——" Yin Jian gave the order and everyone started to take action.
Everyone began to search, inside and outside, in the cracks in the walls, in the courtyard walls, in the pig pens and cattle pens, in the chicken and duck sheds. It seemed that Pan Fuqiang still had a sense of side business and raised a lot of things.
Everything can be turned into money, and it is difficult to do business without capital.
They searched everywhere but found nothing. Pan Fuqiang looked proud and could only sing and dance.
Yin Jian understood at a glance that there must be a place. They had dug everywhere in the yard, but if there was no place, then one place was most likely.
Yin Jian saw that everyone was dejected and asked, "Are you about to give up?"
"My lord, there are none anywhere."
"Go and look under the bed. Is there any floating soil?" Yin Jian asked.
It didn't matter when he asked. After asking, Pan Fuqiang immediately turned pale and said sternly: "Sir, is this inappropriate? The couple's bed is personal privacy. The adult has violated the privacy of the little one. This is unjustifiable! I beg you, sir.
Take it back and don't search the bed of the couple, or the young couple, otherwise, the consequences will be serious. The young one will have to complain to the governor!"
"What's the governor's last name?"
"The surname is Yao."
"That's right. You are very well informed. Whether you want to complain or not is up to you," Yin Jian said.
"Okay! I know that you have a good relationship with Magistrate Yao. The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. Then go and search." Pan Fuqiang said.
"You are quite sensible. Come on, go and look under his bed." Yin Jian said.
"Okay!" Everyone entered Pan Fuqiang's bedroom holding torches.
I lifted up the bed and took a torch to shine it, and sure enough I found loose soil under the bed, obviously there was an article underneath.
Someone reported it to Yin Jian and he ordered it to be dug up.
Sure enough, before digging twice, I hit a hard object. The more I dug, the bigger it got. Finally, I dug out a jar. When I opened it, I saw that it was snow-white silver.
Yin Jian was furious, everyone was overjoyed, and Pan Fuqiang was panicked.
"The bold thief committed the serious crime of robbery, and yet he was so quibbley when the stolen goods were placed in front of him! The bold woman protected her husband and was guilty of the same crime as her husband. They took them down together, tied them tightly, sent them to Nanyang, and beheaded them both in public display!
Yin Jian said angrily.
When the two of them heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground like mud, unable to move, as if they were already dead!
After a while, Pan Fuqiang whispered: "This is not stolen goods."
"Bold! What is this if it's not stolen goods?" Yin Jian shouted.
"This is not stolen property, sir. This is the property left behind by my father when he passed away. Please look into it carefully!" Pan Fuqiang said.
"Nonsense! The money left by your father has been used to support your brother Pan Fugui. A few days ago, your brother Pan Fugui went to the county government to sue you, saying that you did not give him the money left by his father. You said the money was long gone.
Once the money is spent, what more can be said?" Yin Jian said.
"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong! Sir! That's a lie. This money is indeed the money left by my father. I haven't spent a cent of it. I just want to wait for the younger brother to grow up before dividing it. I'm just the younger wife.
When you become greedy, you no longer intend to share the money with your younger brother. The younger brother does not stop him and instead wants to keep it for himself. You should never have this intention. This greed can really kill people!" Pan
Fuqiang said.
"Nonsense. This is what you mean. How come you blame me? Master, what Pan Fuqiang said is wrong. He said he didn't want to share it with his younger brother. I also said he would share it with me. What Pan Fuqiang said was wrong." Pan Fuqiang said.
Fu Qiang's wife said.
"Bold Pan Fuqiang, your wife said it was your idea, what else do you have to say?" Yin Jian said.
"It's unfair! Master, I am the official of Qingtian's parents. I can clearly see who is lying. Please judge clearly!" Pan Fuqiang said.
"You and your wife, even now, are still tough on your words. Do you want to have a fight to make you happy?" Yin Jian asked.
"Master, this money was really left by my father to our brothers. If you lie, you will be struck to death by lightning, electrocuted to death, hit by a carriage, bitten to death by a tiger, you will not be able to give birth to a son, you will choke on drinking cold water, and you will go out.
It’s sunny when I bring an umbrella, but it’s rainy when I don’t. I’m cheated when I’m shopping, and I’m always in trouble. I’m worried every day, and I’m afraid of ghosts knocking on my door when I sleep,” Pan Fuqiang said.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, do you admit that this money belongs to your father?" Yin Jian asked.
"Yes, it was left to us brothers by my father." Pan Fuqiang said.
"Okay, scribe, write down what he said and then sign it. You can't go back on it," Yin Jian said.
"I will never go back on my word, and I will do what I say. If you spit on the ground, it will leave a hole in it." Pan Fuqiang and his wife said in unison.
"Okay, pass on Pan Fugui!" Yin Jian ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Jin Long agreed, and then went out. After a while, Pan Fugui arrived.
"Master!" Pan Fugui shouted.
"Pan Fugui, your brother Pan Fuqiang has admitted that you own the money. Here is his confession. Do you need the money?" Yin Jian asked.
"It's necessary, sir! Thank you very much, sir, for your discernment and for upholding justice for me!" Pan Fugui said.
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank God for having eyes." Yin Jian said.
"The master is Master Qingtian!" Pan Fugui said.
"Okay, stop complimenting me. You can take half of the money here and live a good life! If the county government needs your help in catching criminals in the future, you should do what you did before. I will definitely reward you heavily!" Yin Jian said.
"Thank you, sir! I will definitely help you. If necessary, I will do whatever it takes, even if you have to do whatever it takes." Pan Fugui said.
"Come on, give Pan Fugui half of the silver. In addition, reward him with another ten taels of silver as a reward for helping catch the thief last time." Yin Jian said.
The yamen servant heard the order and did it according to the order. Pan Fugui was very happy, and the yamen servant helped him carry the money home. Pan Fuqiang and his wife looked sad, but they could not show their displeasure. Instead, they pretended to smile and looked at Yin Jian carefully.
I never dare to say no even half a word.
Everyone was about to disperse, and Yin Jian was about to take everyone away. Suddenly, a woman was shouting outside. No one dared to move, thinking that something big had happened.
The woman's sharp voice came from far away. When I came in, I didn't recognize it. The woman was carrying a bulging bag, and I didn't know what was inside.
"Who is coming?"
"The wife of my younger daughter Pan Fugui."
"Your husband has gone back." Yin Jian said.
"My little girl knows."
"You came here even after you knew it? What's the grievance?" Yin Jian asked.
"There is no injustice."
"There is no grievance. What are you doing?"
"Come and thank the great master!"
"No need."
“At the same time, thank you brother and sister-in-law!”
"Why?"
"Just now, my daughter's husband came home, told what happened here, and brought home a lot of money. My daughter was very surprised, and then she realized that her husband didn't thank her."
"Thank you to whom?"
"Thank you brother and sister-in-law."
"Thank you for what?"
"Thank you for your nurturing grace! Because my daughter's husband lost both of her parents when she was seven years old. It was her brother and sister-in-law who raised her on their behalf. It is a nurturing grace."
"That's what it is! Then what can you give thanks for?"
"There is nothing to repay, so I can only bring fifty taels of silver as a token of gratitude. Because my family is in a difficult situation, I will use the silver to do business as capital," said Pan Fugui's wife.
"Yes, you are a repaying and reasonable woman. With a daughter-in-law like you assisting your husband, your husband will not cause you trouble, but will make your family more prosperous," Yin Jian said.
"Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you so much! As a brother-in-law, I failed to fulfill my obligations. I feel so ashamed! This money is considered an apology from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law! You will never accept it," said Pan Fuqiang's wife.
Yin Jian did not expect that Pan Fuqiang and his wife would change in such a short time! As long as Pan Fuqiang's wife is not greedy, there will be no problem. Pan Fuqiang and Pan Fugui are also brothers, and they will not turn against each other for money. After all, blood is thicker than blood.
water.
The case was concluded, and all parties involved signed and stamped their signatures on the transcript.
In the end, under the auspices of Yin Jian, Pan Fugui got the inheritance he deserved, and it became a good story for a while. People easily thought that it was Divination Huishu who was the one behind the scenes.
Pan Fuqiang also regretted that he should have distributed his brother's money to him long ago, so there was no such thing. It was really embarrassing, but there was no regret medicine.
After they left, Pan Fuqiang's wife cried bitterly, saying that her husband was useless.
"Why didn't you say it just now? Are you saying it now? Aren't you ashamed?" Pan Fuqiang asked.
"I didn't expect that Yin Jian had capable people. If he wasn't a capable person, he wouldn't be able to take the money. We were all fooled," said Pan Fuqiang's wife.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. Paper can't stop the fire. You have to give people the money they deserve. You can't rely on it. Pan San is going to get married soon. Let's take care of it and accept the gift money to make up for it.
Wouldn't it be much better to make up for it?" Pan Fuqiang said.
"If you expect money from gifts, you have to drink the northwest wind. What you receive now will have to be returned in the future. Look, which family doesn't have weddings and weddings? Don't they all have to pay for gifts?" said Pan Fuqiang's family.
"If you can do a little bit, you have to look at the long term. In the future, when the third son has a grandson, won't our family be prosperous? Besides, the third daughter-in-law is a well-known lady, and her family is well-off, so the dowry will be huge. With the gift,
You don't care about money, and dowry is very important. You don't care about this either?" Pan Fuqiang asked.
"That's right, I didn't expect you to be so good at dowry! You can see far, and you are worthy of being the head of the house and the shopkeeper." Pan Fuqiang's family said.
"It's not easy to get your compliments. As for me, I just thought about it. I will make a list of those who usually send gifts to everyone. Then, I will also make a list of those who may need to send gifts in the future, one by one.
The more you give, the better. The more you give, the more gift money you will get, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to pay it back in the future." Pan Fuqiang said.
"Looking at what you said, do you want to do a good deed and leave one or two families without sending invitations? They must send them. Some people who receive invitations may not want to come. Whether they come or not is up to them. Please invite
It's our business not to invite them. It's best to invite them all. If they don't come, the people don't come, and the gifts and money don't come, then I'm sorry. If they have something to do in the future, if we pretend not to know, we will just receive a hundred invitations.
, let’s not go either.” Pan Fuqiang’s family said, smiling slyly.
