Chapter seventy-ninth often fear the autumn festival
The four Zhang Yuan brothers rode horses, mules, and sedans in front. Feng Hu and Nengzhu were ordered to watch the two bearers of Yang Shangyuan, and forced the two bearers to carry Yang Shangyuan to the Shanyin County Yamen. Behind them was the
The six Sanin residents and hundreds of Sanin people who came here to climb the mountain were all returning to the city on the way, so they all followed to watch the fun.
Yang Shangyuan struggled in every possible way along the way. He first begged, then threatened when the begging was useless, and then cheated when the threats were useless. He deliberately fell off the rattan sedan and fell to the ground. He held his legs and said that he was beaten and disabled by Zhang's slaves, and he couldn't get up while lying on the ground.
.
Zhang E was furious and ordered Neng Zhu to wait for his servants to beat Yang Shangyuan first. Didn't Yang Shangyuan say he was crippled? Then he would really be crippled——
Zhang Yuan quickly stopped him. It was a serious crime for a servant to beat an honorable member. He advised: "Third brother, there is no need to be angry with such shameless villains. When we meet Mr. Qian, it is not easy to take off his turban and shirt."
Him?" He then said to the Shanyin scholars and people who were following behind him: "Everyone has seen how shameless this person is. He is worse than a bachelor or a bluff."
Yao Fu, Yang Shangyuan has always had a bad reputation, and the people of Shanyin have just seen Yang Shangyuan's despicable behavior with their own eyes. They are constantly cursing and saying that they have to go to the county government to testify. If nothing else, it is too deceptive to illicitly mint counterfeit silver.
Zhang E Ming Neng Zhu and Feng Hu tied Yang Shangyuan to a rattan sedan and carried him on the road. The group entered Kuaiji City from Jishan Gate. More and more people followed to watch the excitement and passed by Yuewang Bridge.
Looking from a distance, the five-hole long bridge is bustling with people.
…
Today, Yao Fu also climbed up with his family to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Since there were many female relatives, they did not go to Yuqi Mountain. Instead, they went to Wolong Mountain in the west of the city. It was close to home and the scenery was beautiful. They joked and played with several concubines until afternoon before going down the mountain.
Seeing a long line of black people coming around the training field and heading towards the county government office, today was not the day for Shaoxing Guards to train, and the crowd was clearly not a sergeant in a messy uniform. Yao Fu didn't know what was going on, and he was happy for something to happen, like this
He might have the opportunity to make a profit from it, so when he saw a large number of people flocking to the county government office, how could he miss it? Someone might ask him to write a lawsuit and file a lawsuit. These days, because of his bet with that boy Zhang Yuan, he has been
I have never entered a county government office to handle a lawsuit, so the loss is really not small——
Yao Fu took a domestic slave down the mountain first. As soon as he reached the vicinity of the county school, he saw his nephew Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper rushing over, followed by Meng Xiucai. Both of them were sweating profusely.
This Meng Xiucai was one of the six students who went to Yuqi Mountain with Yang Shangyuan. Yang Shangyuan was taken to the county government by the Zhang brothers. He and Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper came to Yao Fu for help——
Yao Fuli stood by the Guangxiang Bridge in front of the county school and said calmly: "Don't be anxious. If something happens, tell me slowly. There is nothing that I, Yao, cannot handle."
When he heard that Yang Shangyuan lost 150 taels of silver in a bet with Zhang Yuan and paid with fake silver filled with lead, Zhang Yuan found out and was escorted to the county government for questioning. Yao Fu could no longer calm down and cursed: "Shu Zi."
You are innocent, you should not bet with Zhang Yuan, let alone pay with fake money, you are greedy and stingy, stupid, now Zhang Yuan has caught you, how can you let him go so easily!"
Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper stamped his feet in a hurry and said: "Mr. Yao, please save people quickly. The brothers of the Zhang family all said they wanted to strip off my young master's turban and shirt. That Zhang E even said wildly, saying that he would strip Yao Fu's nephew first today.
I will peel off your turban next month, Mr. Yao—"
"Pooh."
Yao Fu was furious, spat under the bridge, walked back and forth a few steps, and said to Meng Xiucai: "Go to the county government office to see Shang Yuan and tell him to insist that he was beaten by Zhang Yuan——"
Meng Xiucai wondered: "Many people saw what they saw and rushed to the county government to testify. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to this."
Yao Fu shook his head and said: "Then we can only take a step back and insist that he doesn't know about the fake silver. He got it from a merchant in Songjiang some time ago. If Zhang Yuan hadn't inspected the silver today, Shang Yuan would have been deceived by profiteers in Songjiang."
I don’t know, well, that’s all I can say.”
Meng Xiucai said, "Okay, I'll tell Brother Shang Yuan right away." He hurried away.
Yao Fu said to Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper again: "Go back to Yang's house quickly and ask my cousin to hide the remaining fake silver. By the way, your fake silver has not been used locally."
Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper shook his head and said: "No, no, if you use it locally, people will come to your door. They are all fooling around in other places, and they only need to take out two tablets."
Yao Fu nodded and said: "In that case, the matter is not out of control. Go and tell my cousin to prepare five hundred taels of silver and send it to me. I will go to the county and government to take care of it. This concerns his head."
turban."
Yang Shangyuan's housekeeper agreed repeatedly and hurriedly went.
Yao Fu stood at the end of the bridge for a while. The west wind was blowing coldly all over his body, and his heart was slightly chilly. He did not expect that Zhang Yuan could have such a talent. Zhang Yuan's craftsmanship really improved by leaps and bounds under Wang Siren's disciples.
, and actually made several students present blameless. It is said that by the end of next month, Zhang Yue will really be able to write a satisfactory eight-legged essay——
Thinking about Zhang E's words that he would peel off Shang Yuan's turban today and then come to peel him off next month, Yao Fu was very angry, but suddenly shuddered and looked up at the sky. The sky was high and the clouds were light. It was a good weather. He
Why did he suddenly feel that the sky was overcast? Well, the weather was getting cold. He had to go back and put on more clothes, and then visit Xu Shijin, the prefect of Shaoxing. He must keep Shang Yuan's reputation, and the students in the county had to continue to go.
Visit to make sure next month’s gambling is foolproof——
…
When Zhang Yuan and others escorted Yang Shangyuan to the county government office, the county magistrate Hou Zhihan had just returned from Kuaiji. Today, he was invited by his teacher Wang Siren to talk about Zen and poetry with the old monks from Yanqing Temple. Hou Zhihan asked Wang Siren: "Zhang Yuan, teacher
Where can I learn craftsmanship, but I don’t know how to enter the country?”
Wang Siren smiled and said: "This boy is smarter than me. He is diligent in studying and thinking deeply, but he is still in trouble. You don't have to worry about his bet next month."
Hou Zhihan said with a smile: "The teachers have said so. If there is anything to worry about, I will just wait and see Zhang Yuan's wonderful craftsmanship next month."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the county government, Zhang Yuan came to complain, and a large number of people followed him. This made Hou Zhihan a little panicked. He didn't know what happened. People gathered together, and if they were not handled properly, it would easily lead to a civil commotion.
The county magistrate and the chief registrar were urgently summoned to see the case in court.
Meng Xiucai also rushed back at this time, rushed to the Rijiantang, ignored the fact that Magistrate Hou was asking questions, and whispered a few words to Yang Shangyuan, who nodded repeatedly -
Hou Zhihan slapped the hall and shouted: "Meng Sheng, how dare you disturb the court!"
Meng Xiucai hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to serve you." He stepped aside.
Zhang E said to Zhang Yuan beside him: "Jie Zi, they are going to cause trouble again."
Zhang Yuandao: "They must have asked Yao Yiguan for an idea, but it's a pity that they forgot one person. Without this person, Yang Shangyuan will not be able to turn around."
The matter was very clear. There were so many witnesses. Hou Zhihan ordered the clerk of the criminal department to register the names of the witnesses one by one. The remaining two large silver ingots were all broken into pieces. They were all fake silver filled with lead. Of course, they were not completely fake.
What was outside the black lead was still real silver, and the three ingots of fake silver totaled about fifty taels of real silver. Yang Shangyuan insisted that he had been deceived by profiteers in Songjiang and did not know in advance that it was fake silver.
Hou Zhihan asked the names of profiteers in Songjiang, and Yang Shangyuan made up random names like Zhang San and Li Si, thinking: "There are tens of thousands of Songjiang merchants, let's see how you check them." However, Zhang Yuan said: "The county magistrate, there is another witness who can prove that Yang Shangyuan has done this beforehand.
I know this silver is fake silver filled with lead."
Hou Zhihan said: "Bring witnesses to the court."
Yang Shangyuan was startled and thought: "Which witness is this?" He pretended to have a broken leg and was lying on the ground. Then he raised his head to see who the witness was. When he saw it, he was shocked. He was sandwiched between two Zhang family servants.
Isn't the man who came to the court the same servant Yang Sheng who was ordered to go back to collect the counterfeit silver? No wonder he didn't see Yang Sheng on the way back, but it turned out that he was detained by Zhang Yuan's people first!
