Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 427

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, I can remember it after a few years, as long as there is not much change. If that person It looks a bit more distinctive, maybe it won't be forgotten in ten years."

ah?Su Yizhao felt that this should be a kind of talent.

"Could it be that you saw that person again?"

"Yes! Guess where I saw him?" Zong Zeming said mysteriously.

Su Yizhao thought for a while before replying: "Could this person be by my father's side?"

Zong Zeming was very surprised, "You can guess this?"

"That's right! I paid more attention to your father some time ago, because all he came into contact with was the third prince's people, so I also paid special attention to the people around him. That person is a familiar face, even if he has a different name and a different outfit, But I still recognized him by his face."

As Zong Zeming spoke, he took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and put them on the desk. Su Yizhao opened it and saw that this somewhat yellowed piece of paper was a wanted warrant seven years ago.

His name is Zhang Taiwan, he is between thirty and four, and he is from Jiading Prefecture.

Looking at this person's appearance, the hair is very thick, the beard covers the face, and the eyes are very big.

There are no obvious facial features, if the beard is shaved, I'm afraid it will look different again.

Look at another one, no introduction, only portrait.Comparing the two pictures together, you can see some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes.

The person in this portrait has bigger eyes and is much thinner than Zhang Taiwan. He has a square face with sharp edges and corners.

"Zhang Taiwan has a fat head and big ears. Maybe you don't think he looks like this person. But I have carefully compared the eyebrows and eyes of the two, and there are still many similarities. I have to say, if it wasn't for me, I would have Few would link the two together."

Su Yizhao considered for a moment, 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 is defending Su Wenqing, but that these two people can only see a little similarity. One is fat and the other is thin. This is easy to explain, but there is no guarantee that they are the same person!

This ancient time is not as high-tech as the previous life, so decisive, is there any other reliance?

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 pocket, "This is stolen from the file in the yamen, I will show you it, and I will return it later."

Su Yizhao was a little speechless, and he was the only one who spoke so confidently about what he had stolen.

I opened it and took a look, and found that it was Zhang Deed.

Looking at the signatures below, it was actually Tang Mingxi and Zhang Taiwan's. There were also private seals and handprints.

The procedures are complete, and looking at the content of the deed, it is precisely the matter that Tang Mingxi was cheated that time.In one transaction, the transaction amount is 23 taels of silver, which is a huge amount.

Both money and goods are settled, which is indicated in the contract.

"Later, Tang Mingxi found out that the other party was shoddy, including ordinary spices as expensive spices. He also heard that many of the goods in the middle were full of hemp rope when they were opened. Where are the spices?" Zong Zeming said.

Su Yizhao had also heard about this matter back then, after all, it was a big case back then, and it was said that the Tang family lost a total of nearly 300,000 taels.

The merchant's home has a turnover of 300,000 taels, which is already considered rich.Because the Tang family gave up the name of the imperial merchant and broke away from the merchant status before, it almost emptied the family.

After being exploited by the court, there are still so many, isn't it because of the deep foundation?
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, first they lamented that the Tang family was so low-key that they had so much money, and then they laughed at Tang Mingxi's stupidity.

The Tang family is a family heir to merchants. It was an imperial merchant before, but they still stumbled in their main business of spices.

Su Yizhao also heard some gossip later, it was rumored that the Taiwan Zhang was given to Tang Mingxi to two beauties from the Western Regions, which fascinated him fascinated.

There is no need to say more about what happened after that, isn't it just a trap?
It was heard that the wife of the Tang family made a big fuss at that time, and Tang Mingxi almost divorced his wife.

After Su Yizhao found out, she was still very contemptuous. It was obviously Tang Mingxi who made a mistake, yet he dared to divorce his wife.

The Tang family has been in a slump since being cheated that time. Tang Mingxi couldn't make money and sold several shops.

This matter was circulated everywhere in Fangshi, and the Tang family became famous for a while.

In the past few years, the Tang family's situation has gradually improved, but it is a pity that Tang Mingxi's eldest son is not successful, which caused the Tang family to lose a lot of money last year.

Tang Ao was not a student, so he took over the family business. Last year, because of his lack of experience, he listened to other people's advice, hoarded a lot of outdated Jiangnan fabrics, and lost tens of thousands of taels.

Those batches of fabrics are still piled up in the warehouse, so they can only be dealt with at a reduced price, but they are silk and satin, and they will lose money if they sell cheap.The colors are all outdated, and these noble ladies in the capital don't buy it at all.

It has to be said that there are pitfalls everywhere in making a living. Before, Su Yizhao lamented that the Tang family was really out of luck.

Wait a few more years, I'm afraid the Tang family will decline under Tang Mingxi's hands, so how important is a capable patriarch?
His thoughts returned to his eyes, and he took another piece of paper that Zong Zeming handed over.

She suspects that Zong Zeming has a storage space like her, and this chest is like a treasure chest.

"If you look at this picture again, you will know why I am so sure."

Su Yizhao took a look and found that it was Bai Qi who rented the yard.

"His name is Bai Shulin now, look at their handprints, 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 no choice but to admire Zong Zeming's extraordinary talent. The two were actually the same person.

The white contract does not need to be reported to the government, it is a kind of contract spontaneously raised by the people.There is no need to pay taxes, and there is still a constraint on both parties.

Of course, not paying taxes means not being protected by the government, but this usually has witnesses.

"He would never have thought that after six or seven years, someone would recognize him."

Su Yizhao sighed, one hundred secrets and one sparseness will eventually suffer from it!
The arrest warrant six years ago was naturally archived in the government.But this person's appearance has changed, and his name is also different. How can others think that this person is a wanted criminal?

It is impossible for anyone to take their fingerprints to the government for comparison, right?Can those officials care about you?

Zong Zeming said: "Actually, what happened back then, I found it strange. The Tang family has been doing business for so many years, isn't this vigilant? What's more, the goods worth nearly 300,000 taels twice before and after were actually under Tang Mingxi's nose." The subs are swapped? It's really puzzling."
