Great Lawyer

Chapter 818 Several Doubtful Points ([-])

"Tell me." Du Jiuyan and King Gui sat down to drink tea.

Dou Rongxing recounted the case and said, "...Ninth brother, what do you think of this case?"

The petitioner came from Nanning, Guangxi. He is a craftsman who is good at carving and making golden statues of Buddha.He and six of his fellow villagers went to Shenglong Pagoda Temple to work. After three months, not only did they not get any wages, but his companions were also detained by people in the temple.

Said that they broke the Buddha statue and asked them to lose money, otherwise, they would not be allowed to leave.

"For disputes, you can't just listen to him alone. After you investigate clearly, you can decide whether to accept the case." Du Jiuyan said, "We can't blindly ignore right and wrong just because he is from Dazhou."

Dou Rongxing nodded yes, and said: "Then Brother Qian and I went to investigate. Brother Zhou still has a few regulations to be repaired in the past two days."

"Headache." Zhou Xiao said, "Now that the law is being repaired, I will know that the book will be used and I will hate it less."

Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "This is just right, let you review the law so that you can remember it more clearly."

"How about you, Zheng Wenhai agrees to your investigation and defense?" Qian Daoan asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, and said: "He agreed, the prince and I have already been to Zheng Wenyin's house just now." She said after a pause, "Where's Guo Au?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Guo Ao rushed over from the pen and ink shop in the front hall: "Master Jiu, if you have any orders, just say it!"

"It's quite neat." Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "I really have something for you to do."

Guo Ao looked at her anxiously, not afraid that there was nothing to do, but that there were not enough things to do.

"I'll ask you something first, sit down!"

Guo Ao sat down.

"In Annan, if I get a large sum of money and don't dare spend it casually, is there any good way?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Guo Ao rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "If you have less money, you can grind it into pieces of silver; if you have more money, you can transport it to Dazhou; if you have more money, you can't even get out of the country, then you can only find the black market. "

"Black market, what black market?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Everyone also looked at Guo Ao, waiting for him to clarify.

"Generally speaking, Annan is divided into four major families. Most of the family affairs are taken care of by his own family. Whether his family takes care of it well or not."

"The good thing is that when they encounter problems, they can work together."

"The bad thing is that they are greedy for money in private, and almost everyone will do it to fill their own pockets. But they dare not spend the greedy money casually, and they have no way to solve it by themselves, so there is a black market for money."

"These people are all Han Chinese who came from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They collected the shady silver in private, spent it for them, and recast it into silver ingots. They can do whatever they want."

"However, when the money is in their hands, they always have to be ignorant. If ten taels of silver is passed, it is conscientious to give you back eight taels. Most of them are split half and half."

Dou Rongxing looked contemptuous, and said: "The nobles in the aristocratic families are really willing to part with it. The money obtained from corruption is just split in half with an outsider."

"Without these people, they wouldn't even get half of this." Guo Au said.

Dou Rongxing thought of something, and said again: "So, we Han people are still smart."

"Then you go to the black market in Chong'an and Jiao'an, and find out if you have received a large amount of money recently." Du Jiuyan told them about Zheng Wenyin, "...so much money, whether he was It is impossible for someone to rob or abscond with the money, the only possibility is that he sold the money and exchanged it for bank notes."

"It makes sense." Wang Gui frowned and said, "Check in this direction, there should be no problem."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"Sure, the villain is going to investigate now. Do you want to investigate on Shenglong's side?" Guo Ao said, "I have a brother who does this."

Du Jiuyan said: "Then it's hard work for you. After the matter is completed, we will get the legal fees, and everyone will share a share."

"Me, me too?" Guo Ao said excitedly.

Du Jiuyan nodded: "There must be, how much is uncertain, but the heart must not be less."

"The villain went to ask the brothers to do something." Guo Au said, and ran out in a hurry. In the afternoon, he sent people to Chong'an and Jiao'an, and he himself went to Shenglong to be a friend in the black market.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui went out to Mrs. Zheng Wenyin's natal home.Her natal family is also from the Zheng clan, surnamed Ma, and her brothers are all on errands, and the family conditions are not bad.

I asked Mrs. Ma's brother and sister-in-law. Mrs. Ma met her natal family on the morning of the sixteenth day. After sitting there for an hour, she said she wanted to go home, and then left.

"What are you talking about? Didn't she say her purpose for returning to her mother's house?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Ma's sister-in-law's surname is Qu, Qu recalled, and said: "A few days ago, I talked to her about finding a reunion for Zheng Yu. I have a good girl from my sister's family."

"She also knows her, so when she came back this time, she made an appointment with me to ask if she could visit her home at the end of this month."

"I agreed immediately. When she saw that the matter was finished, she didn't keep it anymore. After sitting for a while, she said that she would go home. Mr. Zheng should have gone home that day. Although she didn't say anything, I guess it was because of this."

Madam Ma finished speaking, looked at Du Jiuyan curiously, and asked cautiously: "My lord, my patriarch really asked you to investigate and defend the lawsuit according to the law?"

"Well." Du Jiuyan said, "The law is the most just, and everyone should believe in the law."

Ma Shi chuckled and nodded perfunctorily. She didn't know what was fair or not. Anyway, she just did what the Patriarch said.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui bid farewell and left. The two were wandering in the street. When they entered the city gate, Du Jiuyan suddenly thought of something. He asked the guard guarding the city gate, "On the [-]th day, did you see Zheng Wenyin and Zheng San Master going to town?"

"Twenty? I don't know." The man had no memory at all. "There are a lot of people coming and going every day. If I didn't say something on purpose, I don't remember it."

Du Jiuyan stuffed the other party with a tael of silver, and said with a smile, "Ask the person who is on duty with you."

"Success." The other party took the money, and happily went to ask the colleague on duty on the same day. After a while, he came back with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, pointed at the other party and said, "He said he saw it. "

Du Jiuyan looked at the boy.

"I saw that Mr. Zheng was riding the brown horse he often rode, wearing a bamboo hat. When I entered the city, I kowtowed to him, and he nodded to me."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Apart from this, do you remember anything else?"

"Anything else?" The young man scratched his head, hesitantly said with a troubled expression, "There's nothing else. But I could tell that Mr. Zheng was in a good mood that day, because he ignored me when I kowtowed to him before. Nod at me."

"Others, I really didn't see it. It will only take a while."

Du Jiuyan paid the reward and left with King Gui.

The eyes of the two gatekeepers lit up, and they said together: "I didn't expect King Gui and Princess Gui to be so generous, and the rewards are all silver."

"This is much more generous than our nobleman."

The young man whispered: "They are the princes of Dazhou. I heard that people in Dazhou are very rich, and they rely on the law. Whoever kills someone will be sentenced to beheaded."

"You need to tell me about this, I already knew."

The two put away the silver with a smile, and then went to guard the gate.

Du Jiuyan was standing on West Second Street, Gu Qingshan greeted him from the opposite side, and said: "Master, Wangfei. I found out that people who have contact with Zheng Wenyin all said that he is a serious person, he is very prudent in his work, and he is usually serious. "

"His wife treats others with kindness and kindness, which is not bad."

"What about hobbies?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Mr. Zheng has no hobbies. Every time he comes back, he will go to the alley in front of him and eat a bowl of rice rolls. As for gambling money, he doesn't go to brothels."

Really restrained person.

"His wife, Mrs. Ma, prefers to listen to operas. There is a tile shop in front. She occasionally enters through the back door and listens for a while in the private room upstairs. At other times, she doesn't go out much." Gu Qingshan said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, and the three of them walked to the palace together. She thought for a while, and said, "You ask Guo Au to point you to another brother, to find out the friends who often go to the places Ma Shi frequented in the past six months, or, Has something special happened to her, and she urgently needs money to solve it."

Gu Qingshan should be, and asked: "What about Zheng Wenhai?"

"Check Ma Shi first, one by one."

Gu Qing Shan responded and left.

"Now there are a few points that are very contradictory." Du Jiuyan and Gui Wang said, "If it is a robbery, why is Zheng Wenyin uncharacteristically exchanging money in Shenglong?"

It is unreasonable that it will take two days to delay the delivery after the exchange.

"Also, if it was a robbery, why did Mrs. Ma disappear?"

King Gui said: "I have an idea. Could it be that the other party has caught Mrs. Ma, threatened Zheng Wenyin, kidnapped and blackmailed him? Didn't it mean that their relationship is very good?"

"But on the [-]th day, Mrs. Ma returned to her mother's house, which shows that she can move freely."

Gui Wang frowned and said: "Poison, life and death threat?"

"According to Zheng Wenyin's meticulous and upright character, it is normal for him to ask Zheng Wenhai for help."

King Gui nodded: "You are right."

"So, this case is the most suitable for the husband and wife to escape with the money."

Du Jiuyan also thought it was true: "Except that it's unreasonable that they didn't take away their only son, everything else is reasonable."

On the [-]th, I got the military salary, and took four days to take out the silver and dispose of it. On the [-]th, the husband and wife saw each other, and then left Thang Long with the exchanged silver.

"If so, what was their motivation?"

"Is this the reason why you asked Gu Qingshan to investigate Ma's whereabouts?"

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "The motive is unknown!"

"In addition, you excluded Guan Fan so early, I think he needs to check his 80 taels."

The two talked to the gate of the palace, Guo Ao was waiting eagerly, said: "Prince, Wangfei, I found my friend, if you two want to meet now, I will bring him here."

"He said that they did receive a sum of money recently, 100 million taels of silver."

　Until 9:12 on the night of the [-]th, the monthly tickets are doubled, so everyone take advantage of these few days to clear them.Thank you to those of you who are following the episode, okay!
