Zong Zeming shook his head and said quite complacently: "No! My memory is a bit special. As long as I remember a person's face deeply in my mind, after a few years, as long as it doesn't change much, I can remember it. If that person appears again
She looks a little more distinctive, and maybe she won’t be forgotten even in ten years.”
Ah? Su Yizhao thinks this should be a kind of talent.
"Did you see that person again?"
"Yes! Guess where I saw him?" Zong Zeming said with a mysterious look on his face.
Su Yizhao thought for a while before replying: "Is this person right next to my father?"
Zong Zeming was extremely surprised, "You can guess this?"
"That's right! I paid a lot of attention to your father some time ago, because he was in contact with people from the third prince, so I paid special attention to the people around him. That person was a new face, even if his name was different, and his clothes were different,
But I still recognized him by his face."
As Zong Zeming spoke, he took out two pieces of paper from his arms and placed them on the desk. Su Yizhao opened them and saw that this piece of yellowish paper was a wanted order from seven years ago.
This man's name is Zhang Taiwan, he is thirty-four years old and he is from Jiading Prefecture.
Looking at this person's appearance, he has very thick hair, a beard covering his face, and a pair of really big eyes.
He has no obvious facial features. If he shaves off his beard, he will look completely different.
Looking at the other picture, there is no introduction, only a portrait. Comparing the two pictures together, you can see some similarities between the eyebrows and the eyes.
The person in this portrait has bigger eyes and is much thinner than Zhang Taiwan. He has a Chinese character face with sharp edges and corners.
"Zhang Taiwan has a fat head and big ears. Maybe you will think that he does not look like this person. But I have carefully compared the eyebrows and eyes of these two people, and there are still many similarities. I have to say, if it were not me, it would be very difficult.
Few people would associate these two people together."
Su Yizhao thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Maybe?"
"Ah! I mean it's possible. Are these really two different people? It's not uncommon for people to have similarities. Is it too hasty to judge them as the same person based on these alone?"
It's not that Su Yizhao defended Su Wenqing, but that these two people could only see a few similarities. One was fat and the other was thin. This is easy to explain, but there is no guarantee that they are the same person!
In ancient times, there was no high technology like the previous life. Is it possible to rely on something else to be so decisive?
Zong Zeming smiled, "Although I don't think I will admit my mistake, I also understand that it is difficult to convince you."
Then he took out another piece of paper from his arms and said, "This was stolen from the yamen inner file. I gave it to you to take a look at, and then I have to return it."
Su Yizhao was speechless. He was the only one who could say what he had stolen so confidently.
I opened it and took a look and found that it was a deed.
Looking at the signatures below, they are actually those of Tang Mingxi and Zhang Taiwan. They also include private seals and fingerprints.
The procedures were very complete, and looking at the contents of the deed, it was exactly what happened when Tang Mingxi was deceived. The transaction amount in one transaction was two hundred and thirty-eight thousand taels of silver, which was a huge amount.
The money and goods are due in full, as stated in the deed.
"Later Tang Mingxi discovered that the other party was passing off inferior goods as good ones, and even used common spices as expensive ones. He also heard that when many of the goods were opened, they were full of hemp ropes. Where were the spices?" Zong Zeming said.
Su Yizhao had also heard about this matter back then. After all, it was a big case that year. He heard that the Tang family had lost nearly 300,000 taels in total.
The merchant's family has a current amount of 300,000 taels, which is already considered wealthy. Because the Tang family gave up the name of imperial merchant and broke away from the merchant status, which almost emptied the family fortune.
After being exploited by the imperial court, there are still so many people. Isn't it because of a profound background?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. First they lamented that the Tang family was really low-key and had so much money, and then they laughed at Tang Mingxi for being stupid.
The Tang family is a descendant of merchants. They were imperial merchants before, but they were still able to stumble into their main business of spices.
Su Yizhao also heard some gossip later. It was said that Tang Mingxi was given the 10,000 yuan to two beauties from the Western Regions, which fascinated him.
There’s no need to say more about what happened next, but wasn’t it just a trap?
I heard that Mrs. Tang's wife was having such a big fuss that Tang Mingxi almost divorced her.
After Su Yizhao found out, he was still very contemptuous. It was clearly Tang Mingxi who made a mistake, but he dared to divorce his wife.
The Tang family has been in dire straits ever since they were deceived. Tang Mingxi was unable to make money and even sold several shops.
This matter spread everywhere in the city, and the Tang family became famous for a while.
The situation of the Tang family has gradually improved in the past few years. Unfortunately, Tang Mingxi's eldest son was not successful, causing the Tang family to lose a lot of money last year.
Tang Ao was not a scholar, so he took over the family business. Last year, due to lack of experience, he listened to others' advice and hoarded a lot of outdated Jiangnan fabrics, and lost tens of thousands of taels.
That batch of fabric is still piled up in the warehouse, so it can only be sold at a reduced price, but it is silk and satin, and if you sell it cheaply, you will lose money. The patterns and colors are out of date, and the ladies in the capital don't buy it at all.
It has to be said that making a living is full of pitfalls. Before, Su Yizhao lamented that the Tang family was really unlucky.
After a few more years, I'm afraid the Tang family will decline in the hands of Tang Mingxi. This shows how important a capable family head is?
His thoughts returned to his eyes and he took another piece of paper handed over by Zong Zeming.
She suspected that Zong Zeming had a storage space like her, and it was like a treasure chest.
"If you look at this picture again, you will know why I am so sure."
Su Yizhao took it and took a look and found that it was Bai Deed for renting the yard.
"His name is Bai Shulin now. Look at their fingerprints. Are they the same?"
Su Yizhao immediately compared the two pictures together and found that the fingerprints were exactly the same.
At this point, Su Yizhao had to admire Zong Zeming's extraordinary talent. The two of them were actually the same person.
White deeds do not need to be reported to the government. They are a kind of deed that emerged spontaneously among the people. They do not need to pay taxes and there is a kind of restriction on both parties.
Of course, not paying taxes means not being protected by the government, but this usually has witnesses.
"He would not have thought that after six or seven years, someone would still recognize him."
Su Yizhao sighed, "If you are careful and sparse, you will suffer the consequences in the end!"
The wanted warrant from six years ago was naturally filed with the government. But this person's appearance has changed, and his name is also different. How could others think that this person is a wanted criminal?
It's impossible for anyone to take your fingerprints to the government for comparison, right? Can those officials care about you?
Zong Zeming said: "Actually, I felt that what happened back then was strange. The Tang family had been doing business for so many years, didn't they have this vigilance? What's more, two goods worth nearly 300,000 taels were actually in Tang Mingxi's house.
They were changed right under their noses? This is really puzzling."
