Chapter 229 Another Two Witnesses

Hearing these familiar words, Wei Pingxiao looked sharply back and forth between Shi San and Lao Liaotou's family.

Shi San, as always, was confident, with an appearance of being sure.And Lao Liaotou's family, like the previous two, was panicked and didn't even dare to refute.

A yamen servant stepped forward to take the deed, and passed it to Wei Pingxiao. Wei Pingxiao only looked at it twice, and then put it down.The deed is the same as the previous two.

But when things got to this point, no matter how he could see something strange.

If he said it once, he thought it was understandable; twice, he just felt that Shi San was unlucky; but three times, it was intriguing.

What's even more coincidental is that these families who "forcibly occupied" Shisan's house, one by one, either lost or destroyed the house deeds.

Wei Pingxiao already had a guess in his heart, he called a errand servant, handed the house deed to the yamen servant, and ordered: "Go and check with Hu Cao to see if the house deed is fake. In addition, confirm the house's identity. Who is the owner?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Lao Liaotou's family, but even Shi Sanmian panicked.

Shi San lowered his head, his eyes rolled back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.

Lao Liaotou's family also bowed their heads and exchanged glances, Wei Pingxiao could even see the trembling of their shoulders.

Two groups of people have their own thoughts.interesting.Wei Pingxiao looked at everyone in the hall with his spare time, and his heart became more and more sure of his conjecture.

However, Lao Liaotou's family couldn't withstand the pressure of silence after all. In the end, the family seemed to make eye contact, and Lao Liaotou trembled and spoke boldly.

"My lord, Caomin must confess. The house is not owned by Caomin's family."

Before he finished speaking, Shi San, who was thinking of himself, hurriedly climbed up, "My lord, they admitted that the house is not theirs, and it's no wonder they couldn't get the deed.

My lord, since he has pleaded guilty, please give justice to the grassroots. "

However, the old Liaotou also hurriedly said: "Sir, although the house does not belong to the Caomin family, the owner is Tong Shu, and there is a deed. The house is not owned by the people in this hall. If you don't believe it, you can send Tong Shu to testify."

Wei Pingxiao didn't listen, and just yelled at the two, "If you dare to make noise without my permission, I will reward you with twenty big boards first."

Lao Liaotou's family and Shi San were indeed frightened, and did not dare to say another word.

Everyone in the hall was waiting quietly.And the yamen servant came back soon with two messages.

"The deed is true. But the content does not match Hu Cao's booklet. The owner of the house is not Shi San, but Tong Shu."

Old Liaotou was so excited that he almost wanted to speak, but Wei Pingxiao glared at his words, swallowed them back in fright, and then looked at Shi San with some complacency.

Shi San's eyes were a little flustered at the moment, he lowered his head, and glanced at the feet of the yamen servants on the left and right from the corner of his eyes from time to time.

Wei Pingxiao put Shi San's house deed on the table, and then the gavel suddenly slapped, and with a bang, the silence was shattered, and everyone in the hall trembled in fright.

"Shi San, you forged the house deed, are you guilty?"

Shi San's eyes kept rolling, and after a while, he finally said in panic: "My lord, the house deed of Cao Min is real, and the fake one is Tong Shu, who is the fake one."

Wei Pingxiao suddenly said, "Bold, do you still dare to say that you are a servant of the official, and you can't collude with Hu Cao to frame you?

You dare to speak harshly when you are about to die. This official sees that you are toasting and not eating fine wine. Come and take this thief down. First hit him twenty big boards. "

Shi San panicked, knocked his head on the ground, and said in horror: "My lord, my lord, please forgive me, Caomin doesn't know what's going on, Caomin's house deed is also for Tongyuan's Chaifangya intermediary.

If you don't believe me, my lord, Cao Min is willing to confront Chai Fangya face to face.Or, my lord, you can also call Tong Shu to the court, Cao Min is willing to confront Tong Shu and Chai Fangya face to face. "

Wei Pingxiao stared at Shi San carefully.Shi San was hairy, but he could only bite the bullet and bear that gaze.

The yamen servants who were about to be executed did not know whether to advance or retreat for a moment, they all looked at Wei Pingxiao.Wei Pingxiao thought for a while, today's matter is indeed not simple, I am afraid it is not just a problem of scoundrels and tax evasion.

He pondered for a while with sullen eyebrows, raised his hand to signal the servants who were about to be sentenced to step down temporarily, and then ordered a few people to pass on Tong Shu and Chai Biao.

Neither Tongyuan nor Yinzhen Village were close to the Zhizhong Yamen, so Wei Pingxiao ordered the Yamen servants to temporarily guard Shi San and Lao Liaotou's family in the back hall, and then retreated halfway to wait in the inner Yamen.

While he was waiting, he ordered the yamen servant to invite Yan He, the official of the Commercial and Taxation Court, to the inner yamen.

Two hours later, Tong Shu and Chai Biao arrived at the hall.It's just that Chai Biao was leaning on a cane and his head was wrapped in gauze, so he looked like he had been severely tortured.

As for Tong Shu, he was detained by the yamen servant because he didn't know why, and he hadn't recovered from the shock at this time.

Wei Pingxiao invited Yan He to the next seat to observe the hall.Then he sat in the hall and continued the interrogation.

"Chai Biao, the house of Tong Shu on Tongyuan Metasequoia Street, but you sold it to one of the two as a mediator a year ago?" Pointing at Shi San and Lao Liaotou.

Chai Biao was a little embarrassed: "My lord, Caomin can't remember what happened a year ago."

"So, you don't admit that there was a mediation with one of these two?"

Chai Biao nodded anxiously: "Caomin really doesn't remember."

Wei Pingxiao looked at Tong Shu again, "Tong Shu, the yard on Metasequoia Street is still yours now, do you sell it?"

Tong Shu was terrified, glanced at the others, shook his head and whispered: "Caomin, I never sold it."

Wei Pingxiao continued: "Since it was never sold, it was rented? Who did you rent it to?"

Tong Shu took a few more glances, and finally pointed tremblingly at Lao Liaotou's family, "Caomin, I rented it to their family."

"Chai Biao Zhongbao?" Wei Pingxiao asked again.

Tong Shu nodded subconsciously.

"Since that's the case, then you two, take out each other's lease and prove to me that you are not lying."

As soon as the words fell, both Lao Liaotou and Tong Shu panicked. Tong Shu didn't know the situation ahead, and said in a hurry: "Caomin. Caomin's lease, I accidentally lost it."

Lao Liaotou opened his mouth and closed it immediately, his face turned pale and red, he thought about it, but couldn't find an excuse, but he couldn't say what he had lost, so he could only tremble and remain silent.

Wei Pingxiao stared at Lao Liao seriously again, "His lease is lost, what about yours? Could it be lost too?"

Lao Liao was lying on his stomach with his body bowed, sweat dripping from his forehead.Lao Liao's son was also covered in cold sweat. As for his daughter-in-law and mother, they didn't dare to say a word for a long time and could only bury their heads in a turtle shape.

Wei Pingxiao's sharp eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and the gavel slammed like a bell, "It's not true. Your lease is lost, destroyed, or there is no lease at all. .”

The people in the hall were too frightened to speak out, and Lao Liaotou's wife almost fainted from fright, and the whole family huddled together and shivered.

Wei Pingxiao snorted coldly, stood up, "Okay, since you don't say it, then I will speak for you."
