Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 381 Proud of harboring a serious crime
Entering the inner circle, watching and listening, the people in the store repeatedly defended, the people outside sneered and ridiculed, and the people around were talking about it, and finally figured out the reason.

The Wanjia Warehouse was established not long ago, but the business is booming unexpectedly. Naturally, there is a shortage of manpower. I searched everywhere, and I found a young man from Shanxi, named Tang Ping, two months ago.

The man said he was from Fenzhou, Shanxi, and his family's land had been taken away, so he had no choice but to come to Tianjinwei to join his relatives, but the relatives' family was not rich, so he wanted to find a job.

Seeing that Tang Ping was fairly well-groomed, he spoke neatly, and the relative was indeed a resident in the city, and he had issued a guarantee document. There was a shortage of people in the store, so he was recruited.

After the young man entered the store, he was a quick learner, quick in his hands and feet, and very friendly to others. He even took the initiative to help others after finishing his own work. Everyone in the store liked him.

What is rare is that he is eloquent and quick-witted, and he managed to make two deals for the warehouse within a few days after entering the store. Such a person is really a talent.

Wan Manjiang, the owner of Wanjiadian, saw that the business was getting better and better, so people like Tang Ping naturally wanted to keep it. Unfortunately, there were only two sons who couldn't recruit husbands, so they had to win over with benefits, and gave him the name of the fourth shopkeeper. , And gave half of the share, let him work in the store.

To put it bluntly, these four shopkeepers are the shopkeepers in the store, but the half of them are real money. Tang Ping is extremely grateful, and works harder, and the business of the warehouse is booming.

As a result, the second steward of Yongsheng Warehouse came to him today, saying that Tang Ping was a fugitive slave who escaped from the house of the owner of Yongsheng Warehouse, and when he escaped, he brought 100 taels of gold and a few pieces of jade with him. pieces.

Tang Ping said that he was from Shanxi, and the Yongsheng Warehouse was indeed from Shanxi. The second steward also came to Tianjin Wei at the end of the first lunar month. When he was walking along the Haihe River with his servants, he met Tang Ping and recognized him.

Yongsheng, Tonghai, and Jinhe, the three largest commercial firms in Tianjin Wei, were at odds with Wang Tong. After the Chuantouxiang chaos, both Jinhe and Tonghai disappeared from Tianjin Wei, but Yongsheng stayed and started doing business normally. .

However, when it comes to renting stores by the Haihe River outside the city, everyone in Yongsheng Warehouse is full of disapproval, and they are not optimistic at all. As a result, this year they want to buy it, but they can't buy it.

But this Yongsheng Warehouse is a big commercial firm after all, with a lot of cash and a lot of goods. There are many shops in and out of the city who deal with him, and their shopkeepers and shopkeepers often run by the Haihe River. It would not be surprising if they met him .

Hearing that the middle-aged fat man was also speaking Mandarin with a Shanxi accent, Tang Ping below was crying and kowtowing, which seemed to be the case.

"Little Tang, what are you talking about here, I treat you well... What kind of money, when you came to my shop, didn't you say that you only had five cents on you?"

Wan Manjiang, the owner of Wanjiadian, had an angry face on his face, and his words were a little awkward. He pointed at Tang Ping and said inconsequentially. When Tang Ping heard this, he took a few steps on his knees and hugged Wan Manjiang's. Thighs, crying out loudly:
"Wan Dong's family, you can't say that. I have 90 taels of gold and 400 taels of silver, half of which is discounted. Didn't I write it down on the account face to face?"

"Nonsense... nonsense, half of the ingredients cost more than 1000 taels, and this shop is only 6000 taels now. If you really want to use money to invest in shares... No, no, you said that Tang Ping escaped, but What evidence is there!?"

Wan Manjiang was already a little unscrupulous, and it took a few words before he could react. The middle-aged fat man said with a sneer:

"Of course there is a certificate, it's okay to show it to you!"

He took out a few more contract papers from his bosom, unfolded one and said:
"This is Tang Ping's body contract!"

Another piece of "This is the report document of the magistrate of Fenzhou Prefecture"..."This is the list of stolen goods recorded", Wan Manjiang desperately broke free from Tang Ping's entanglement, and went forward to check it out.

The government’s big seal, the special paper, and the authentic written documents all looked like fakes. After a few glances, Wan Manjiang began to tremble all over, and suddenly turned around and shouted:

"Old Li's, take out the ledger, it's our family's general ledger."

Turning back, he said:

"Didn't it say it was in the account? Let's see if there is any in the account!!?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and after arguing for a long time, the onlookers felt more and more that Wan Manjiang had harbored the fugitive slaves and embezzled the money stolen by the other party.

What Wang Tong saw was not these things. Just now when Wan Manjiang said to take the account, Tang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to smile a little, and then he burst into tears, and the person who was called the second steward The middle-aged fat man had a somewhat smug look on his face.

The accountant who ran out of the store was holding the account book but his face was pale, his lips were trembling and he didn't know what he was talking about. over there.

Not long after, the account book in his hand also slipped, and his whole body trembled like a pendulum, and the surroundings became quiet, as if a good show was about to be staged.

The middle-aged fat man in a satin robe walked up to Wan Manjiang, picked up the account book and looked at it for a while, with a big arc at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly with a smile:

"On February 90th, the seventh year of Wanli, Tang Ping invested 400 taels of gold and 350 taels of silver as shares, and converted to [-] taels of silver..."

The quietness of the venue became noisy again, and everyone in the audience was scolding Wan Manjiang for being unruly and unruly.

Everyone has this hatred of the rich, Tianjin Wei Kaihai, those who seize the opportunity will get rich, and those who don't seize the opportunity will naturally feel uneasy and have a lot of sourness. The Wan family is just a wealthy family, and nothing happened in the family People with fame and fame are very ordinary. After opening this store, the business has grown bigger and bigger. It is inevitable that everyone will feel a little bit jealous when they see the Wan family, who is from the same family, so rich.

Wan Manjiang finally came to his senses, staggered back two steps, pointed at the crying Tang Ping on the ground with trembling arms, and then pointed at the sneering second steward, and shouted loudly:

"You are setting up a scam..."

"You bastard, what's the trick? This government-issued sea arrest document, this is the list of stolen goods stamped by the government, this witness, this account book you took out yourself, what's the trick, first withdraw the engulfed money Come on, let's meet at the yamen of the Qing military hall, hide escaped slaves, embezzle property, and see if the beheading is still three thousand miles away!"

People are afraid of meeting the officials. Upon hearing this, Wan Manjiang, who was about to fight for his life, was stunned for a moment. The second steward sneered and turned his head around.

After Wan Manjiang was stunned, he quickly walked a few steps and grabbed the clothes of the second steward, and said in a hoarse voice:

"...I'm not wrong, what official do you see, what official do you see!!"

The momentum has weakened a lot, the second steward turned around with a smile and said:
"Our Yu family has suffered such a great grievance. If you say you don't want to see the official, why don't you go?"

"Master in charge, my two sons are getting married this year, and my old mother is 70 years old. After seeing the official, everything in our family will be destroyed. I beg you..."

While speaking, Wan Manjiang cried and knelt down. The common people saw officials as if they were tigers, not to mention that the "personal evidence" and "material evidence" in front of them were all real here, and it was unreasonable. Wan Manjiang was completely panicked.

There was a sneer on the face of the second steward, and he said:
"This matter involves the Lord's family. Naturally, it must be done in a business-like manner. But it is not easy to see that there are old and young in your family... I will take this risk for you, you..."

"Is that what you mean by transferring this shop to me!"

The sneer on the second steward's face froze, and the eyes of the people inside and outside turned to the direction of the voice.

*************
Wang Tong accepted the other party's words, he observed for a long time, and combined with the allusions he had heard in the past, he finally figured out what was going on.

After that sentence, everyone looked over, but Wang Tong ignored it, instead he said to Yu Dayou with a smile:

"My lord, gold is hidden everywhere along the Haihe River. A good shop is worth such a great effort to seize. Wang Tong is really happy."

Yu Dayou smiled and shook his head, Wang Tong strode to the door of the store, pointed to Tang Ping who was kneeling on the ground and said:
"He escaped from home again, and took more than 1000 taels of silver. It's a really big case. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he should be executed. First, take this guy to the Qing Army Hall and talk to Mr. Gao. Ask to cut it!!"

After giving an order, the guards brought by Wang Tong immediately stepped forward to set him up, and walked out of the circle. Wang Tong's side was too natural, and the second manager hadn't reacted yet.

That Tang Ping was supported by two people, after a moment of astonishment, he immediately struggled vigorously, Wang Tong frowned, and said with a smile:

"The fugitive slave was struggling on the way, but in desperation the official sent broke his leg."

After Wang Tong finished speaking, the second steward, who was about to yell angrily, was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know why he said that. Two of Tang Ping's soldiers over there threw Tang Ping to the ground. One stepped on him, and the other stepped forward to grab him. Raise your legs hard.

"Crack!", followed by an earth-shattering scream. The whole place was quiet, and Wang Tong waved his hands and urged:
"Take it away, take it away, and tell Gao Tongzhi that the evidence is solid, the witnesses and the physical evidence are all complete, it's best if you can make a decision, and the autumn decision is also fine."

Although the thigh was broken and painful, Tang Ping could hear what the boy who suddenly appeared said clearly. If he had any doubts just now, the cruel method of breaking his thigh in the street has already explained the problem. The physical evidence is indeed clear, and this beheading may be a real beheading.

Tang Ping struggled desperately regardless of the pain in his thigh, and shouted in a pitch-shifted voice:

"Cousin, save me, save me, I don't want my money anymore, I will give it to you, give it to you, save me!!"
