farmer's husband

Chapter 248 Earning 40 Taels

"Chu Xu, a merchant in Yuqing County, is negotiating with Mrs. Chai recently to set up a Yizhichun embroidery workshop. I can prove that she is indeed our Yizhichun's embroiderer, and now there are embroidery pieces with Yizhichun's name on them." , It was all done by her alone." Standing outside the courtroom, Chu Xu respectfully bowed to Song Zhifu, and then said slowly.

The Chu family's main activities are in Yuqing County, but this does not mean that they have no contact with the provincial capital.He had visited Song Zhifu several times with his father at the beginning. Song Zhifu knew him, and of course Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny also knew him.

Song Zhifu immediately nodded. "Let him in."

The yamen servant immediately let go of the water and fire stick blocking the way, and Chu Xu walked in Shi Shiran again.

"I'm the young master of the Chu family, and I've traveled to the provincial capital many times over the years. I don't think I need to prove my identity now, right?" He smiled and looked at Song Zhifu above him.

Song Zhifu shook his head. "Of course you don't need this. However, you still have to produce evidence to see if Mrs. Chai Gu is really the embroiderer under the name of your shop."

"Of course!" Chu Xu nodded quickly, and sent a pile of thick documents from the greeting boy, "These documents are the documents signed with Mrs. Chai in the next two years. Mrs. Chai is good at craftsmanship, and every one of her The price of each item is different, so we will sign a receipt every time we sell one, and the description of the embroidery on the receipt is very clear, please read it through the magistrate."

The document was handed over to Song Zhifu's desk, and Song Zhifu began to read it carefully.Every time he finished reading one, he handed it over to the people around him to show it.Everyone discovered that the small embroidered portrait was carefully drawn on the paper!
One of them was indeed exactly the same as the handkerchief that Yulian had just shown.Moreover, the ink on the writing paper had dried long ago, and some papers were starting to turn yellow. It seemed that they had been placed for a long time.Moreover, a branch of red flowers and green leaves is drawn on the lower right corner of each piece of paper, which is a common mark on all the documents.

After flipping through the papers one by one, Song Zhifu grabbed the last piece of paper. "this is?"

"Oh, this is a new contract we signed this year." Chu Xu replied straightforwardly, "Ms. Chai is very good at embroidery, and her painting skills are even better. In just two years, her embroidery is getting better and better." Well, and now we are not limited to only handkerchiefs. Her things are in short supply, and many people are waiting in line. So I was discussing with her at the beginning of this year, we can use her embroidery pieces exclusively We have come up with a name, and we have decided on a name, and we will call it Yizhichun! In the past six months, the finished products of Yizhichun have been selling very well in my shop, and we have decided to open a separate shop to sell Yizhichun. It’s something, this document was signed by us at that time. By the end of the year, our Yizhichun will open for business!”

Such documents have always been held by each of them, and the other is kept on file in the Yamen.He can't fake this.

So, now the facts have proved thoroughly——Chunzhi is indeed Yizhichun's embroidered mother!Moreover, she even became a shareholder of Yizhichun!

In this way, Yulian's slander against her for stealing the handkerchief at the beginning is self-defeating.What Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny said was completely useless nonsense.

At this time, Yulian has already been carried down, maybe the body is starting to get cold?The pool of blood on the ground was cleaned up long ago, and the existence of this person was wiped out so easily.

And the attention of these people in front of them has already shifted to the latest development, and there are not many people who are still mourning for this dead girl.

Human life is worthless, and Harue is fully aware of this now.

"But even so, you still can't prove that this matter has something to do with my lady!" Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny yelled with all her strength after recuperating for a while.

"I know, I didn't say that I have to prove that this matter has something to do with your young lady, I just did this to prove Miss Chai's innocence." Chu Xu smiled faintly.

When Chun Zhi heard this, her heart sank heavily.

In the end, she failed after all.

Yulian knew that she was powerless to recover, so she stopped struggling and directly chose to be bumped to death in the court, which also avoided the fate of being tortured when returning to the historian's house, or being taken back to be ruined by He Laoshi.However, as she closed her eyes, Harue's accusation came to an abrupt end.Without the most powerful witnesses, this case cannot go on trial.

Although I knew that I couldn't shake that person with such a little strength.However, the ending in front of him still frustrated Harue very much.

"but!"

But immediately, she heard Chu Xu raise his voice again. "Since your surname Shi looks down on Yizhichun's embroidered lady so much, you look down on Yizhichun and me! In this case, I will not sell the things we sold to you before! I will take back the original price! Also, in the future The things produced by our Yizhichun are not sold to historians, dealers, or anyone who is closely related to historians and dealers!"

Everyone present couldn't help gasping when they heard the words.

But right away, they figured it out again - Yizhichun's items were scarce, but now they are selling like hot cakes.Even if it is not given to historians and dealers, there are plenty of people who will buy it.Maybe, people other than the historian and banker will secretly be happy that there is no group of opponents scrambling for things after knowing it!
After saying this, Chu Xu slowly raised his smile again. "Now, please go back and tell your family members to pack Yizhichun's things, and tomorrow I will bring someone to the door to take them back!"

The nanny stared blankly at him with wide-eyed eyes, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

But at this time, there was another commotion from outside, Master Liang's son Liang Meijing was arrested!
Chu Xu immediately came to Chun Zhi's side. "Your Majesty, the case of Mrs. Chai should be over here, right? Since the facts have proved that she was wronged, can we go?"

"Let's go!" Song Zhifu immediately waved his hands.

In his opinion, this case of false accusation or not is not worth mentioning at all.What's more, there is a more important matter in front of us - the leak of the exam questions!

It just so happened that Mr. Liang has been by his side these years, thinking that he is the biggest hero by his side, and gradually becoming more and more arrogant, and he is almost disobedient to his discipline!His son was even more bloated, how many times he didn't even take his own son seriously, and he was worrying about how to deal with him without being scolded as a scumbag!

Now, this thing came just in time!
Therefore, his mind has long drifted away, and he has long since lost the mood to care about such trivial things about Chun Zhi.

"But before leaving, shouldn't Mrs. Shi be right with Mrs. Chai and give her a little spiritual compensation?" Chu Xu asked again with a smile.

"Of course." Magistrate Song nodded again, and looked at Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny, "The court announced that Yulian was a false accusation. It's really pitiful that Chai Gu's family suffered innocent injustice. But Yulian is dead. , her compensation will be represented by her husband He Honestly, and as for the slander of the historian, it will naturally be compensated by the historian. Now, you will make an apology to Chai Gu in court, and then one party will pay her 20 taels of silver!"

He Laoshi was delighted to know that he was going to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law yesterday, but today he only took one look at her, and she died!And it doesn't count if his wife is dead, but he still has to pay money?He can't do it.

But Song Zhifu glanced at him coldly, and he was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head obediently and apologized.

But 20 taels of silver is not a small amount, he really couldn't get it out, Chu Xu said with a smile: "If you can't get it out, you can borrow it from Mrs. Shi Shao first! Since she can pity you for not getting a wife, If I give you a big girl who looks like a flower and jade, then you only borrow 20 taels of silver now, and she will definitely give it to you. And maybe, because she sees you as pitiful, she will betroth another big girl to you!"

He Laoshi's eyes lit up immediately, and he focused on Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny.

Mrs. Shi Shao's nanny's face turned black.

It's just that now she knows she's in the wrong, and there are people from Master Shi watching her, so she doesn't dare to delay, so she can only reluctantly come to apologize to Chun Zhi, and then take out her purse from her bosom, which of course she doesn't carry with her. Maybe bring 40 taels of silver.There were only ten taels in the purse, and she took them out, and then took off the two silver hairpins on her head and a pair of earrings on her ears, and gave them to Chun Zhi as 30 taels of silver.

Chunzhi accepted it generously.

After wrapping up the things, she bowed to Song Zhifu. "Thank you magistrate for avenging the women's grievances, the women are very grateful!"

Then, she turned around and went out with Chu Xu.

It was still morning when I entered the government office, but when I walked out, the sun had already started to set.Before she knew it, she wasted the whole day in that place.

After crossing the high threshold of the government office, Chun Zhi raised his head and breathed out, unexpectedly seeing a slender figure not far in front of him.

"Master!" She immediately brightened her eyes and waved at him happily.
