Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 038 Don't pay back the money you owe.

Seeing that the accountant is so entangled, Hwarang smiled lightly: "Mr. accountant, don't worry too much, just say what you want, whether it is useful or not, I will decide for myself."

At this time, Yin Wucuo couldn't wait and said: "What is it, you should say it first."

The accountant had no choice but to say: "Once I copied the account books for Boss Dong, and found that there was an IOU in his account book. The IOU was written by Zhu Yougui. It said that he borrowed 1000 taels of silver from Boss Dong to do business. Return it when the goods are finished."

"Can you see clearly?" Hwarang asked excitedly.

The accountant nodded: "Of course it is clear."

After there was nothing to ask, Hwarang and the others left Dong Cheng's rice store, and after leaving, Wen Meng immediately said: "This Zhu Yougui is undoubtedly a murderer, he didn't want to pay back the money, so he killed him." Dong Cheng, and then stole the IOU to avoid the debt of 1000 taels of silver."

1000 taels of silver is not a small sum, it is extremely possible to kill someone for this sum of money.

Even so, there is still one point that does not make sense. If the murderer was really Zhu Yougui, and Zhu Yougui killed Dong Cheng because of money, then why didn't he take away Dong Cheng's 1000 taels of silver?

Everyone didn't understand this point, but the most urgent thing was that they had better go see Zhu Yougui first.

Zhu Yougui was in the silk business, and he was doing well in Tianchang County, and it was easy to find his shop. After Hualang and the others entered Zhu Yougui's silk shop, someone immediately greeted them and asked them what they needed. Turn around and say, "We're looking for Boss Zhu, is he here?"

At this time, a voice came from inside: "Who wants to find me?"

Hualang searched for his reputation, and saw Zhu Yougui of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and somewhat handsome. After he came out from behind, he cupped his hands to Ye Xing and said, "I don't know who they are. I'm looking for Zhu Yougui." What's the matter?"

Hua Lang's face changed slightly, and he said, "I'm from the yamen, and I came to Boss Zhu because I wanted to ask you a few questions about Dong Cheng's murder."

Zhu Yougui had a look of disbelief, and said: "You are from the yamen, it's impossible, I know all the people from the yamen, I haven't seen any of you."

Hua Lang saw that the lie was exposed, but he was not in a hurry, and said, "You always know that the magistrate of Chang County was replaced that day, right?"

Zhu Yougui nodded: "I know that."

Hwarang smiled coldly: "Once the emperor and the courtiers, a county magistrate will naturally have to change the yamen servants, stop talking nonsense, and answer my questions honestly."

Although Zhu Yougui didn't believe it, he didn't dare to disobey it, so he had to let Hualang ask.

"I heard that Boss Zhu owes Dong Cheng more than 1000 taels of silver, right?" After Hua Lang asked, he fixedly stared at Zhu Yougui in order to observe the change of Zhu Yougui's face.

Zhu Yougui was startled, and then asked calmly: "Who did you hear that I, Zhu Yougui, spread out the silk well? Is it necessary to borrow 1000 taels of silver from Dong Cheng? You say I owe Dong Cheng 1000 taels of silver." , is there evidence?"

Zhu Yougui seemed to have already made preparations, he expected that Hua Lang and the others had no IOUs and no evidence, so they dared not do anything to him.

After listening to Zhu Yougui's words, Hwarang also suddenly felt that he was a little too hasty. Now the only person who has seen the IOU is the accountant, but the IOU has disappeared, and it is useless to rely on the accountant's words.

But now, they can't force Zhu Yougui to hand over the IOU, or Zhu Yougui has already torn up the IOU, so they can't find the IOU at all.

Hwarang's head was sweating, but he didn't bother to wipe it off, lest if he wiped it off, people would think that he had no choice but to deal with Zhu Yougui.

Zhu Yougui saw that Hualang was speechless, so he smiled coldly: "If you don't want to buy cloth, please do it immediately, we still have business here, and if you are from the yamen, I will send someone to find out later. .”

Hearing that Zhu Yougui was so rude, Wen Meng was immediately angry, and wanted to hit someone, but when he was about to do it, he was suddenly stopped by Hua Lang. If he really hit someone, they would really ignore it up.

Wen Mengmeng Hualang stopped him, and asked angrily, "Why don't you let me beat him?"

At this time, Yin Wucuo was also very angry, and said: "Why don't you teach him a lesson and force him to tell the truth."

The few of them said it blatantly, as if they didn't take Zhu Yougui seriously at all, and after hearing what they said, Zhu Yougui smiled disdainfully: "You want to hit me, come on, you will feel better if you hit me, I sue you for indiscriminate lynching."

Zhu Yougui was proud of what he said, Hua Lang smiled faintly when he saw this: "We won't beat you, but there is something that requires you to go to the Yamen with us."

Zhu Yougui didn't care, said: "Okay, I'll go with you once, but let me know what it is first, right?"

Hwarang nodded: "Dong Cheng's account books have been stolen, I suspect you stole it, so I need you to go to the county government with us to investigate."

After Zhu Yougui listened to Hualang's words, he suddenly said excitedly: "Nonsense, when did I steal Dong Cheng's account book? Don't be bloody. Why do you suspect that I stole Dong Cheng's account book?"

Seeing that Zhu Yougui was still stubborn, Hwarang shrugged helplessly, and said, "I have already asked the clerk at Dong Cheng's rice grain shop, only you have been there and stayed there for a while, and for a quarter of an hour No one is watching you here, with so much time, you have time to commit crimes, do you want to argue?"

Zhu Yougui smiled coldly: "I went to Dong Cheng's rice store, but I didn't steal Dong Cheng's account books. If you don't believe me, what if I go to the county government with you?"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Hwarang smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Zhu please!"

Seeing that Hua Lang really wanted to take him to the county government, Zhu Yougui had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

On the way to the county government, Zhu Yougui behaved very naturally, as if he was not guilty at all, but was framed by Hualang and others.

However, Hwarang and the others ignored him, and they were just secretly thinking of a way to get Zhu Yougui to admit that he had stolen Dong Cheng's account books and owed Dong Cheng more than 1000 taels of silver.

If Zhu Yougui had already burned all the account books and IOUs, then this matter would be very difficult to handle. Without evidence, it would be impossible to just rely on the mouth of an accountant.

Yin Wucuo saw that Hualang was frowning, and said, "Should I sneak into Zhu Yougui's house and search to see if there is any account book?"

After hearing Yin Wucuo's words, Hualang shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid the account book is gone, and it's useless to go there."
