Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 239

He Yijiu lowered his head and said: "My lord, it was only a maid who died. There is no reason for the master to hold a funeral for the maid. Moreover, the maid died suddenly from a serious disease, so it is not good to publicize it." , so it was just buried."

Er Er Qian immediately retorted, "My lord, that young woman is definitely not a maid. When Cao Min took people to look at the house in Jiuquli, I saw that woman. She was very gorgeously dressed, and she looked like the mistress of the courtyard." .”

He Yijiu glared at him, "Do you live there? It's the He family's house. I, a servant, don't even know that there is a mistress living in it, but you, an outsider, know?"

Then he turned to Su Zhen and said, "My lord, that house is where our young master occasionally goes to rest. What's more, the young mistress and aunt both live in the He family compound, so how could they live alone in Jiuqu? He is simply guessing without any basis." .”

Su Zhen looked at Qian Laoer again, "In this way, it was you who spread rumors indiscriminately, which caused the housing prices in Jiuquli to plummet. Qian Laoer, are you guilty?"

The second child of Qian was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, "My lord, there is no reason for Caomin to make up things. What is the benefit of a sharp drop in housing prices compared to Caomin? Apart from not being able to sell and less commission, there is no benefit. Caomin has no reason to do this at all."

Su Zhen thought about it, nodded slightly, and asked He Yijiu again: "He is right, it is not a good thing for housing prices to fall sharply compared to Fang Ya."

"My lord, for a house of 400 taels, he can only charge 40 taels of commission, but for a house of 120 taels, he can secretly collect 56 taels or even more private money from the buyer.

My lord, if our house is really haunted as he said, why would that family buy it?
All the residents in Jiuquli want to escape, but which one doesn't believe in evil?Caomin thought that they were colluding secretly, Qian Erer deliberately lowered the house price, and the buyer secretly gave him kickbacks. "

"My lord, he spouted blood, there's nothing wrong with that." Qian Er Er was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and said in a hurry, "If your lord doesn't believe me, Caomin is willing to confront the buyer. Their family is from another place. Possibly in collusion with them."

Su Zhen thought for a while, then asked: "Where is the buyer now? Go and pass him on to the hall."

"My lord, the grass people are here." A shout came from outside the hall, and everyone looked for the sound, and saw a middle-aged man walking quickly into the hall.

Qian Er Er couldn't help his eyes flushed with excitement, and silently called out "chasing the boss".

Zhufeng gave him a relieved look, and then saluted Su Zhen, "My lord, Cao Min is the one who bought the house." He took out the deed and presented it as he spoke.

Seeing that he didn't kneel down to salute, Su Zhen was furious, and was about to scold him, but his eyes fell on the house deed presented involuntarily.

The seller, He Mengyou, and the buyer, Su Zhen, looked at it for a few moments, but suddenly their eyes widened. They held the deed in their hands and held it in front of their eyes in disbelief. Feng said: "What is the relationship between the person who signed the contract and you?"

"My lord, the person who signed the contract is my wife."

Su Zhen was stunned for a while, and then said to He Yijiu with a sullen face, "I have already investigated this matter, and the false report of the house price is pure nonsense. Since the contract was signed at that time, there is no reason to regret it later. , Buying and selling is voluntary, and you were not forced to sign the contract, so how can you cheat."

This reversal also confused He Yijiu, "My lord, the house price in Jiuquli is now 500 taels, as we all know, but our young master's house is only sold for 120 taels, which is more than 300 taels less."

"The deed was signed two months ago, and now it is two months later. It is different." Su Zhen could not doubt it, handed the deed back, and asked someone to take the iron chain from Qian'er's body, and then announced, " Er Er Qian is not guilty."

"My lord." Two voices sounded together.

Su Zhen glanced at Zhuifeng, then at He Yijiu, and then asked He Yijiu with a straight face, "What else do you have to say?"

He Yijiu still didn't give up, "My lord, if they really only think that the house is worth 120 taels, then the grass people are willing to buy it back for 120 taels.

Mr. Qian kept saying that the house was haunted by ghosts, and that someone had died, which was bad luck, so we will not sell it, so as not to cause any trouble to the buyer, please allow the younger one to buy the house back for 120 taels. "

Su Zhen's face was full of anger, "Presumptuous, the contract has been completed, and the purchase and sale are voluntary. You are a small landlord, how dare you order this official? Come on, put this audacious landlord down, and beat the [-]th big boss." plate."

He Yijiu's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly prostrated himself and said, "Forgive me, my lord, but I don't dare to offend you." But he howled in his heart, he was the head of the He family after all, and Qian's second child was only a house tooth. The buyer doesn't even know who it is, shouldn't it be reasonable to care about the face of the He family and favor him more?Why does he now feel that he is leaning towards the opposite side instead?

And when he was thinking to himself, Zhufeng also stopped him and said: "My lord, wait a minute, I have something to say about the unjust death of the mistress of this house. Please pass on He Mengyou, the second bedroom master of the He family, to my lord. Confront."

These words made Su Zhen puzzled, did the hostess die unjustly? "What do you mean, sir?"

He Yijiu also visibly shuddered, and looked at Zhuifeng with twinkling eyes.

Chasing the wind and said: "Since the seller keeps claiming that Qian Laoer spread rumors and caused troubles to ruin the reputation of the house, then I would like to confront the owner face to face. The owner of the house knows best if anyone died unjustly in the house, please sir. Pass the young master of the He family to the court, and the truth will naturally be revealed."

Su Zhen was puzzled, but because of the other party's identity, he did not refuse, and immediately sent someone to summon He Mengyou.Afterwards, Zhufeng stepped forward again, whispered a few words to Su Zhen, Su Zhen nodded in response, and then dispatched a few government servants, not knowing what to do.

He Yijiu felt that the matter was faintly developing towards an uncontrollable situation, he struggled for a while, and finally pleaded guilty decisively, and said anxiously: "My lord, the little one was convicted, and just now the young one suddenly repented, this matter is the little one's fault.

At the beginning, no one dared to buy the house in Jiuquli, and Qian Fangya's offer was fair and just. The small one was just because the house price was rising now, and he was unbalanced, so he wanted to get some back.

My lord, the little one knows his mistake, and the little one will not sue. "

Su Zhen's expression became stern, and he was furious, "Presumptuous, the court is the gate of your house, can you come in and out as you please? Someone, dare to play tricks on the court, drag this guy down, and beat him [-] times."

Immediately, two yamen servants stepped forward, grabbed He Yijiu and dragged him down the hall.However, He Yijiu continued to admit his mistake bitterly: "My lord, I know I was wrong, I will not sue the younger one, I will not sue the younger one, I beg my lord to step down."

Although Su Zhen is not good at judging cases, he also clearly knows that there must be something wrong with He Yijiu. If he insisted on it one moment and let go the next moment, he must have sensed some danger.

He thought for a while, then called another yamen servant, and ordered: "Go and invite Lord Wei, the yamen of Zhizhong, and tell him that I want to ask him to settle the case of a dead person."

The yamen servant took the order and hurriedly retreated to invite someone.

On the other side, the servants sent to pass on He Mengyou also arrived at He's house.Patriarch He Wanming was very surprised when he heard that Hu Cao Yamen wanted to pass on his grandson. He gave the servant two silver coins to ask why, but the servant refused to accept it, and only urged him to hurry up.

He Wanming had nothing to do, and it was impossible for him to be there in person, so he ordered the steward He Zhi and He Mengyou to go to the Yamen together.
