Chapter 17 Scam
There were five women standing outside the door, leading a woman in her thirties with a good appearance, gorgeous clothes, and a smooth face, unlike the peasant people. She looked angry and was arguing with Lu Shuang: "... My girl had already bought this house with money. Who are you? You dare to break into a private house? Are you not afraid of the laws of the court?"
Lu Shuang looked at the woman without saying anything. She has been practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She has a high character and does not curse like a shrew in the market. But the Winter Solstice has no good temper and said, "You are so unreasonable. What is a private trespass? How can we not live in a house we bought? Did the court's law stipulate that living in one's own house should be allowed by irrelevant people?"
The woman sneered and said, "What a wise man! I won't talk to you, a slave, and ask your master to come out!"
"My master is noble. Can you see me as an old woman?"
Although the woman was not young, she could not be called an old woman no matter what. After hearing the joking words of the Winter Solstice, she was so angry that she fainted. Her lips trembled and pointed at her and said, "You...you!"
"Okay, I'll say less!"
Xu You walked out, Lu Shuang and Dong Xie hurriedly bowed and told the reason. This morning, the woman brought a few maids to the door to make trouble, saying that the house belonged to them, and she was very rude. Xu You nodded, walked to the woman, and said, "I am a maid who is rude and does not know the etiquette. She has collided with the girl. Please forgive me!"
When the woman saw that Xu You was so noble, she knew that the master had come forward and lost her previous arrogance. She was blessed and said, "I have met Mr. Lang!"
"Let's talk inside! I think you are polite. Just talk about the matter. Don't argue loudly in the street. What kind of thing is it like? No matter who is right or wrong, the house will never run away by yourself. I will give you an explanation in the end!"
The woman looked into the door. The courtyard was deep, gloomy and terrifying. She was nervous and afraid to enter. Xu You smiled and said, "I am afraid of meeting bad people in broad daylight? You can leave two people outside and wait. If you don't come out for half an hour, they will report to the official."
"Your husband said this, he must be a bad person." The woman thought about it and said again: "Anyway, the girl knows that if I come here, I really have mistakes, and you can't get rid of it."
The Winter Sora heard the harsh sound, curled her lips and said mockingly: "It's not that Jade Huanian, Tianxiang, the countryside, is it necessary to be so careful?"
The woman knew that she could not beat her, so she pretended not to hear it, and walked into the door with a calm face with Xu You. When she sat down at the hall, Xu You ordered tea to be served in the autumnal equinox, and then looked at Lu Frost. She knew that, "What is your master's name, who is the person, when and where, whom to buy this house, how much does it cost? Can you have a land deed, house deed, and go to the county government to get the deed and stamp it with a seal?"
The woman knew it clearly and said, "My girl's name is Su Tang, and her ancestors live in Boling. She moved south with her parents. Ten days ago, Zhou Ying'er spent 450,000 yuan to buy this house. She had a house deed and land deed, but no red deed."
"Zhou Ying'er?"
Xu You frowned, and finally understood what Zhou Ying'er's strange behavior was for when he was looking at the house that day. No matter what, he never imagined that after traveling through thousands of years of time and space, he actually encountered the dirty thing of selling more than one house.
"Can you bring the house deed and land deeds with you? Can you lend me a view!"
The woman hesitated and said, "The contract is kept by the girl. Besides, how can such important things be easily handed over to outsiders?" The so-called cleverness is probably the case. Xu You smiled slightly and said, "You still can't believe me, it's better to be careful of others. It's reasonable. The autumnal equinox, take the contract is the original!"
When the Autumnal Equinox brought the deed, Xu You pointed it to the woman one by one: "This is a deed, this is a deed, and it is clearly identified by the government. I guess what you are in your hand should be a copy made by Zhou Ying'er who was searching for someone. Also, the red seal of the deed was built by Du County Magistrate Du of the county government, and it is also a witness and guarantor. As for the price, your girl spent 450,000 yuan, but I used a total of 600,000 yuan. What is the difference? The difference is that with this red deed, even if the lawsuit is fought to Jinling, you will never have the possibility of winning the lawsuit!"
"ah?"
The woman was so beautiful that she became flustered and suddenly became flustered. She grabbed her skirt tightly with her hands, her body straightened rapidly, her voice octaves higher, and said, "Impossible, Zhou Ying'er is the best tooth in Qiantang. She has a good reputation and a good character. She will never lie to us."
From ancient times to the present, people's reactions after being deceived were similar. Xu You's eyes were pity, but his tone was very calm. He shook his head and said, "The facts are there, and you can't believe it!"
"Impossible, impossible!"
"Forty-five thousand yuan, that's all the savings of my girl." The woman obviously lost her face, her face turned pale, and she collapsed on the cushion. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found an excuse to comfort herself, and said, "Zhou Ying'er lived here for a lifetime, her parents died early, but her wife and children are still there, and the land and houses purchased are also here. If she deceived us and sued the government, how could he handle himself? No matter how stupid a person is, he will not be able to do such a despicable act."
In ancient times, except for a very small number of people, almost few ordinary people truly understood the law, and had no way or interest to understand the law. Once related matters were involved, they were represented by lawyers or teeth, so many people were deceived.
Xu You sighed and said, "If I expected it was not bad, Zhou Ying'er probably had left Qiantang, and the world was so big that she would not be able to find it anyway."
The woman stood up and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. Zhou Ying'er made a deal with my girl yesterday. How could she disappear now? I think it's you who are waiting to occupy the house and throw dirty water on others' heads. It's shameless!"
The winter solstice is full of eyebrows, rolling up her sleeves and stepping forward, saying, "Are you looking for a fight?"
The woman was so scared that she stepped back and almost fell down. Xu You stopped the winter solstice and said, "Lu Shuang, you can send her out with the autumnal equinox, don't be rude!" Then she winked quietly.
Lu Shuang understood it and helped the woman to the door, saying, "No matter whether my master believes it or not, I'd better go to Zhou Ying'er to ask clearly first. It's better to catch him and confront him in person."
"Yes, what I said!"
The woman hurriedly left with her maid. Lu Shuang Xiumei frowned slightly and whispered a few words to the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox looked excited and nodded, and quietly followed their backs.
Xu You found He Ru and Zuo Qi and told him what had happened just now. He Ru sneered: "Zhou Ying'er is so brave. I think he is desperate!"
Zuo Qi was steady in nature, but when he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "No matter what the aristocratic family is, ordinary families spend 500,000 or 600,000 yuan to buy a house, they will spend all their money. Zhou Ying'er doesn't have to do anything or pay. She just eats everything up and down with her mouth and fills her private bags. It's already despised. She dares to do something that is unwilling to the world, and her crimes should be killed!"
"Fenghu, go to the dock to check it out and see if Zhou Ying'er has left Qiantang. This person is parading around the streets and talking about it. There should be many people who know him. No matter how much he hides his tracks, he will always show his strength."
When Zuo Qi left, Xu You ordered the autumnal equinox and said, "I will go to the county government with Qiyi. If you wait at home, the woman may come to the door again. Remember to treat it well and don't make things difficult for them."
"promise!"
"By the way, have you heard of Su Tang's name?"
The Winter Solstice commanded the Guo Ship Pavilion, with the most informative news, and thought about it carefully and said, "I have never heard of it. I should be an irrelevant person!"
He Ru smiled and said, "Qilang, anyway, we have a red contract in hand, and the ownership of the house has been decided. No matter whether it is the county government or the county government, they will not stand on their side. Why bother with the life and death of others?"
"With that being said, it's just that people have no money and no house. They cry and make trouble in front of the door every day. If you want to stay out of trouble, you are afraid you won't be purified."
Xu You sighed: "The woman only mentioned Su Tang, but did not mention Su Tang's parents. She probably had no elders at home, and all the affairs were decided by this girl named Su Tang. This made Zhou Ying'er feel that the orphan could be bullied, so she set up a trap and deceived all her savings. Such behavior is no different from a beast. Since I encountered it, I can't ignore it."
"Okay, I'm free, so go with Qiluo to see the fun!"
When the county yamen was not seen by Gu Yun and Bao Xi, they asked Du Sansheng, and only then did they know that they had been summoned to Wuxian by Meng Xingchun and would not be back in five days. Xu You explained his purpose, and Du Sansheng was furious and immediately took a group of yamen soldiers to Zhou Ying'er's house.
I met a woman from the front of the alley. She had been here for a while, but the door was closed and could not be knocked open. Du Sansheng sent someone to ask the neighbors around him, but no one had seen Zhou Ying'er's wife and children.
It seemed as Xu You said, Zhou Ying'er and her family fled, and the woman was in a state of silence. She knelt down and cried, "Please be the commander!"
Du Sansheng couldn't bear it, but he still said calmly: "You have an affair and evaded the court's tax assistance, and have mistakenly believed the bandits. If you have such an experience, what kind of injustice can you complain? I think you are ignorant and have been deceived by someone. The taxes you owe will no longer be collected. Go home quickly."
According to Chu Lu, if a woman evades taxes and trades privately with others, if a dispute arises and sues the government, she must first pay the loss and then discuss the right and wrong. Du Sansheng, who has been old, knew that since Zhou Ying'er had escaped, she must have arranged a retreat long ago. With the power of a county alone, it would be impossible to find his trace within three to five years.
In other words, if a woman was cheated of money, she could only admit that she was unlucky and did not charge her loss. This was already a blessing from outside the law and was extremely forgiven, let alone solving the case!
The woman burst into tears, as if she had lost her parents, and the sadness echoed through the neighbors, making people unbearable to listen, saying, "My girl sold her house and tried her best to raise enough forty-five thousand yuan. Now she is wandering and has no helplessness, and there is not even a place to settle down. If the county magistrate refuses to make decisions for us, I am afraid that there will be more unjustly deaths in Qiantang Lake tomorrow..."
Du Sansheng suddenly changed color. As a county magistrate of Qiantang, he had a murder case under his rule. He was inevitably asked carefully when taking the exam. If he was not careful, he would be considered a low-level. If he had been a low-level exam multiple times, he would have no hope of promotion. In the past, the threat of women was not very concerned, but this time the White Snake case was hit by dozens of dead bones buried deep in the courtyard. It has never been heard of in all dynasties. If he hadn't led people to rush to the forefront and made minor achievements, Gu Yun would have been dismissed and investigated.
Therefore, for Du Sansheng, stability is overwhelming!
"Bold! Do you dare to threaten me?"
The woman knocked on the ground with her head, and blood appeared on her forehead, and she cried and said, "If the county magistrate doesn't make decisions for the people, I will die in front of you now!" Say, get up and hit the wall behind you!
The figure is sad, the situation is determined, and I really have the will to die!
