Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Xu Muchen has no way to refute, and Chen Kuan, who finally has enough evidence to incriminate, can't wait and doesn't want to tangle with him anymore. Ding Hao then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
His plan actually came to mind after he analyzed the purposes of various people and listened to Luo Dong'er talk about Liu Shiyi's plan to frame them and let the two brothers Wang Yu and Wang Yi play a trick to protect themselves. The specific operation is
The inspiration came from watching him
There was a Hong Kong movie "Thousand Kings". In that movie, there was a con artist Wang Shangqian. When he was gambling with others, he wrote a check with squid ink to make a bet. As a result, the other party verified that the check was correct and then went to the bank to transfer the money.
Then I found that the check was blank.
After reading this plot, he was very curious. There happened to be people selling aquatic products at the morning market in his community, so he went to get two squids whose ink sacs had not been cleaned, and scribbled a few words on the paper with squid ink.
I did an experiment on the word and found that the word will indeed disappear. It turns out that the word was made by squid
The melanin contained in "ink" is a combination of indolequinone and protein. It will be decomposed over time and disappear completely. However, the disappearance time is not as fast as shown in the movie. It is affected by temperature and humidity.
The words written in sepia ink disappear quickly or slowly, ranging from a few days to more than ten days.
It is impossible for him to actually check Xu Muchen's accounts. Xu Muchen is proficient in accounting and meticulous. The accounts he did by himself are said to be due to Ding Hao's second-hand accounting skills. Even if Ding Hao is a master of auditing, he will not be able to do it.
Don't even think you can find out Xu Muchen's flaws. Let alone the entire
Zhutou Jieku has now almost become Xu Muchen’s private world, with everyone from top to bottom including his ears, eyes and confidants. Ding Hao came here single-handedly, and there were people everywhere to restrain him. Except for the account books with obscure records, there was no help, so what could he get?
Looking for evidence against Xu Muchen?
But what does Mr. Zhao in the court want? It's just evidence of Magistrate Liu's crime, and he seems to be determined not to give up until his goal is achieved. What does the Ding family want? It's just to protect the Ding family from being implicated by Magistrate Liu.
.That Xu Muchen was a cunning rat and deserved what he deserved. Ding
Hao asked himself that he was not a great master of Qingtian, so why waste manpower and material resources and spend a long time to find out his real credentials, but if he used thunderbolt means to derail his heart to achieve his goal, then it was done. So he thought of this squid, and with this squid ink, he could check his true credentials.
I can't tell you secret accounts, but I can still give false evidence...
Now that the goal has been achieved, Ding Hao felt as if a big stone had been lifted off his shoulders, and his whole body felt relaxed.
The servants of the Ding Mansion did not expect that the case would be tried so happily today. Shopkeeper Xu, who was as slippery as a loach, could not catch him at all, and now he was so confused that he took all the evidence of the crime on himself, and even tried to defend himself.
There was no room left. At that moment, two servants happily squeezed out of the crowd, jumped on their horses and ran all the way back to Ding Mansion to report the news.
Things have changed so much that among the people watching the trial at the Yamen Gate, some people who knew a little about the case whispered to each other and secretly praised: Xu Muchen is really a true man with a strong sense of morality and unparalleled loyalty! I didn't expect him to be so ruthless. In order to keep his life, Xu Muchen
My boss actually shouldered the big crime.
Chen Kuan asked the clerk to bring the transcript of the court interrogation to Xu Muchen, forced him to press his fingerprints in public, and then slapped the gavel with a "snap" sound.
Observation frowned and said: "It's not just the government office that is in disrepair in Bazhou Mansion. This jail tree...cough! It should have been replaced a long time ago."
Concealing his embarrassment, Chen Kuan said with great satisfaction: "Come on, put the prisoner Xu Muchen into the prison temporarily to await the verdict, and withdraw from the court!"
Xu Muchen knelt there, as if he was in a dream. When there was a fire in the government office and all the account books were burned, he was ecstatic when he got the news. He only thought that his disaster had been over because of the fire, and he still regretted this in his heart.
Once the fire burned, although he was saved from moving, he also lost a magic weapon to hold Ding Tingxun hostage.
How can you imagine that over the years, he has used the wealth of the Ding family to make friends with the government, and in turn used the government to blackmail the Ding family, playing both sides, and profiting from it. The officials and his boss have become pawns at his mercy. Every time he thinks about it, he feels a little complacent about his methods.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was actually nothing, and that the person he regarded as a pawn held the real power. He was playing with fire.
In the blink of an eye, success has turned into failure, gains have turned into losses, and my eyes are full of illusions. Everything I have been pursuing for decades has become in vain. All the past, thinking about it now, all the self-satisfied conspiracies have turned out to be empty.
Like the edge of a knife licking honey, if the beauty of a meal is not enough, it will cause the disease of cutting out the tongue. Thinking of this, Xu Muchen was speechless.
Chen Kuan left the court with a cry, and two government officials immediately dragged Xu Muchen, who had a gloomy face. Xu Muchen's hair was messy and his face was red, and he looked like a ghost. He looked at Ding Hao standing beside him, full of bitterness, and had been arguing all his life. In the end, it turned into a mouthful of blood and sprayed it.
go out……
In the back house of Ding Mansion, Ding Chengzong pushed a wooden wheel chair and moved nervously in the courtyard. He looked up at the sky from time to time. His usually calm expression was now a little anxious. He rarely felt so out of breath.
Ever since he learned that Granny Liu had successfully burned down the Yaxi Kuoyuaner, he knew that something serious had happened. However, he was in the Ding Mansion, and he had no idea how far the lawsuit had gone, so he was inevitably upset.
I just hope that someone will send a message back soon.
Early in the morning, he read the Lotus Sutra with great concentration in his study without being disturbed. However, he was restless and wondered how he could continue reciting the sutra. In the end, he had to throw the sutra aside and meditate alone.
I got into the car and came down from the wooden steps, wandering alone in the garden, listening to the clear wind and the chirping of birds, and then I felt a little relieved from the anxiety in my heart.
Suddenly, he saw his maid Lan'er appearing under a flower tree in the distance. He looked around furtively, then tiptoed through the flowers and crawled through. Ding Chengzong was suspicious, so he opened his mouth to call her, and thought for a moment.
He thought, but stopped and pushed the wheel and followed quietly.
He was naturally familiar with the paths in his mansion and garden. Although he was not as nimble as Lan'er on the wheeled cart, he could still keep up. After turning around a rockery, he suddenly lost sight of Lan'er. Ding Chengzong looked around and suddenly found the road ahead.
A corner of skirt exposed behind banana tree
Oh, that pomegranate-colored skirt is exactly what the lady likes to wear. This is his private residence. Apart from the lady, there are only a few servants waiting on her. The servants will not wear such expensive jacquard embroidery clothes.
Yes, what are you doing here alone?
Ding Chengzong was even more curious, so he carefully pushed the wheel and drove forward slowly. The oiled axle rolled silently. As he walked closer, he heard the urgent voice of his wife coming from behind the tree: "You
Crazy, what are you doing here in this clear day?"
Ding Chengzong became suspicious. He grasped the wheel with both hands and wanted to rush over to see what was going on. At this time, another person's voice sounded. When he heard this person's voice, it was like a thunder exploded in his chest. The blood in Ding Chengzong's chest surged and his ear drums buzzed.
The sound was as if he had been hit by a immobilization spell and could no longer move.
After a long while, his lingering soul possessed his body, and he heard the man behind the tree say: "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for the past few days, and I miss you so much. Please just follow me and be gentle and comfort me."
I miss you so much, brother, let's go." Listening to the voice, it turned out to be his brother Ding Chengye.
Lu Xiangwu then spat softly: "What's going on in this broad daylight? You and I ignore human relations and have skin-to-skin contact. I'm already sorry for him. Why do you still do such casual things in the daytime? You...how do you have any respect?"
I love you, my friend, are you teasing others like they are your fans?"
Ding Chengye laughed and said, "If I don't respect you and love you, why can't I help myself to look for you at this moment? My eldest brother has difficulty moving now. What's wrong with him? What is he doing now?"
"It's not because of your Ding family's case that I woke up early in the morning and was worried about it. Now I'm reading the Bible in the study."
Ding Chengye said happily: "This is just what God has come to do for fun. My eldest brother is now like a monk, but I don't have the patience to read scriptures. My good sister-in-law, the little monk under my brother still wants to be enlightened by the female Bodhisattva. Sister-in-law, please don't."
If you don't delay, let's take part in this joyful meditation."
A soft cry of "Ouch" came from behind the tree, followed by the sound of smacking lips and tongues. Lu Xiangwu could only be heard screaming, and then even the banana tree began to sway.
Ding Chengzong's eyes were filled with stars, and his temples were twitching. He gritted his teeth, pushed the car hard, and turned around the tree. He saw his wife bending down to support a small green tree next to the plantain, with scattered black hair and slightly almond-shaped eyes.
Narrowed down, he was wearing half-dressed clothes.
"You...you...have done a good job!" Ding Chengzong pointed at them, his lips trembled, his arms trembled, the stars were dragging and flying in front of his eyes, and the ugly looks of the two people seemed to be floating in the sky. When he said one sentence, listen to
There is a hollow feeling in the ears, which is suddenly far and now near, as if it is coming from the horizon.
Flaubert once said an irrefutable truth: "The cuckold husband is always the last one to know." This is exactly the case for Ding Chengzong, a businessman who valued profits over separation. He knew that he had really neglected his beloved wife for the sake of his family, but he
Ask yourself that all the hard work you have put in is for this family and for her. Why...why is she so unwilling to be lonely? What is especially sad is that she actually did such an unethical thing with her brother-in-law. Love has changed
Hatred, a kiss turned into an enemy, Ding Chengzong's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart, and his tiger eyes were filled with tears unknowingly.
When Lu Xiangwu and Ding Chengye saw his appearance, they screamed in shock, jumped away, and put on their clothes. Ding Chengzong saw the two of them looking so ugly, and his eyes were splitting as he said: "My good wife
, my good brothers, hello to you, hello to you..."
Ding Chengzong laughed miserably, and his whole body fell from the chair. His face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and he was no longer unconscious.
"Chengye, I...I'm so scared...how is he...how is he?" Lu Xiangwu was so frightened that she snuggled tightly into Ding Chengye's arms. If she hadn't grabbed his clothes, she could hardly stand.
Ding Chengye's heart was beating like a drum. Although he had originally planned to bump into Ding Chengzong and stimulate his illness according to Yan Jiu's idea today, he had no idea about the efficacy of the strange medicine that Yan Jiu had repeatedly promised, so he was also scared.
It was a serious injury. He had no choice but to calm down lightly, patted Lu Xiangwu's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I've done everything, what else can I do? Listen to me, go back quickly, be sure to stay calm, don't be afraid."
Don't show any tricks, leave everything here to me, as long as it is done properly, we can stay together forever from now on. You leave quickly and come back quickly."
Lu Xiang danced with his heart beating like a deer. He was so ashamed that he did not dare to look at Ding Chengzong anymore. He picked up his skirt and ran away in panic. Ding Chengye quickly walked up to Ding Chengzong, tested his breathing, and then opened his eyelids to look at his pupils.
Then he looked around and left quickly...
As soon as Ding Chengye left, a bush parted, and Lan'er walked out of it. She looked at Ding Chengye's hastily leaving back and spat disdainfully. Then she pretended to be panicked and shouted: "Come on."
People, come here quickly, the young master...he is unconscious..."
After the court hearing was over, the three squads of yamen servants filed out of the hall, and many of the onlookers in the yamen also dispersed. Scimitar Xiaoliu jumped in the crowd and shouted: "Brother, we are here, here, today brothers are the host, we
Go play at Zhiqiao Restaurant."
Ding Hao smiled and was about to walk over when County Lieutenant Zhao had already caught up and said, "Brother Ding, please stay and go to one of my official rooms."
After hearing this, Ding Hao had no choice but to signal to Scimitar Xiaoliu, and then followed County Lieutenant Zhao towards the side office. Tieniu shouted in a loud voice: "Brother Ding Hao, we are waiting for you at the Zhiqiao Restaurant. We are done."
Please come as soon as possible on official business."
Ding Hao raised his hand, and as County Lieutenant Zhao turned around the corner of the room and disappeared, Datou asked worriedly: "It's okay to drink eldest brother's wine, but we have to celebrate eldest brother. Do we have money in our pockets?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu took out ten large coins from his arms, weighed them in his hands and said, "Isn't this money?"
Datou said with a look of concern for the country and the people: "For ten dollars, can I have a banquet of wine?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu said with a smile: "This is just capital. The eldest brother was left behind, which is convenient for us to do things. Let's go and get some wine money." The three brothers left the government office happily.
When Ding Hao arrived at Zhaoxian Lieutenant's room, Zhaoxian Lieutenant poured him a cup of tea with his own hands and said with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit, brother, I have heard, seen, and handled many cases over the years, but...
I can't guess your methods, it's really amazing."
Ding Hao smiled and said: "This is just a small trick, a heretical thing. It can work wonders once or twice, but it can't stand up to the big scene. If we really want to talk about it, we have to be upright when doing big things. You can't rely on this kind of little trick that doesn't stand up to the stage.
.”
County Lieutenant Zhao laughed and said: "Brother, you are too modest. It is a great skill to be able to successfully resolve this case. Brother, I won't say more, let's get straight to the point. I still want you to work by my side. If you are willing
Come, I will immediately appoint you as an escort, what do you think, brother Ding?"
Ding Hao could only smile bitterly after hearing this. In the past, when no one cared about him, he seemed to be strong without desire and only focused on moving towards the predetermined goal, which was fine. Now, General Cheng has shown his appreciation many times. With his status, he can do this.
For the sake of his sake, it was already an attitude of trying to recruit. Here, County Lieutenant Zhao can be said to have visited the thatched cottage three times. As for the Ding family, the Ding family that he had originally looked down upon, Master Ding was moved by emotion and reason.
Lord, please be kind to him, and in order to allow him to stay with peace of mind, you actually do something that only the great sages in ancient times could do, such as leaving the Ding family and "exiling yourself". Ding Hao is not a hard-hearted person, how can he not be moved by this?
He may not have been integrated into this world for a long time, but Ding Hao, who values love and righteousness, has unknowingly accepted some contents of the ancient people's thoughts and values, which were abandoned by future generations along with the dross. A man has clear grudges and grudges, no matter what
, we also need to have a clear explanation to Ding Chengzong before we can make a decision.
Thinking of this, Ding Hao said tactfully: "Ding Hao has my mother, and Mr. Ding appreciates his kindness, so I really can't make a choice at the moment. Mr. Zhao should be the one who takes the lead in Xu Muchen's case. If nothing else happens, Bianjing City will
Mr. Zhao here must have something to say, how about we wait until Mr. Zhao has made a decision and then we can discuss it?"
County Lieutenant Zhao heard that his tone this time was not as decisive as before, and he said happily: "Okay, then you must think about it carefully when you go back. When you make a decision, no matter when, just come to me."
Ding Hao agreed, and the two chatted for a while. Ding Hao stood up and left, and County Lieutenant Zhao sent him out. Just then, a government official came to report: "Master County Lieutenant, Sir, I have an invitation."
Ding Hao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please stay. Ding Hao will take his leave. Haha, Ding Hao would like to congratulate you first..."
County Lieutenant Zhao smiled happily, this Ding Hao was really a wonderful guy, and he was scratching his itch. Feeling grateful, he sent Ding Hao out of the house regardless of the observation master waiting for him, and then turned around to see Chen Kuan.
. Chen Wen observed that when he met Zhao Xianwei, he was very complimentary. Zhao Xianwei was also a veteran who had been in the officialdom for twenty years and was very good at it. Naturally, the first contribution to the overall planning and guidance and arrangement was made by the same head.
The blame was placed on Chen Kuan. Chen Kuan was delighted. Zhaoxian Lieutenant was witty and sophisticated, and his contribution to defeating the cunning people was indispensable. He deserved to be commended. After returning to Bianliang, he made it known to Xianggong Zhao and agreed to the promise.
Xianggong Zhao was an undisputed figure in front of the officials. Most of the officials in the court were recommended by him. It is said that sometimes the officials had a bad temper, or the appointment or removal of an official was not in line with the officials' wishes.
The letter of recommendation was returned. Xianggong Zhao was not annoyed, and followed him like a piece of candy, still recommending blindly. If the official got angry and threw away the letter of recommendation, Xianggong Zhao would pick it up, and the official would return the letter of recommendation.
After tearing it to pieces, Mr. Zhao went to glue it up again. Early the next morning, the accurate recommendation letter would appear on the official's desk again, tortured the official so much that he had no choice but to let it go. So as long as Zhao
Those recommended by the husband are almost certain to be promoted. Since Chen Kuan said this, there is a high probability that his official position will be promoted.
The two complimented each other a lot, Chen Kuan got the first achievement, and County Lieutenant Zhao got his recommendation. Both parties were satisfied, and the two officials couldn't help but burst into laughter...
