Daming Junior Scholar

"I won't say anything else. The one surnamed Niu just frightened Mrs. Xie Xiaoyuan, and she confessed everything. I saw her take out thousands of taels of silver from the hidden compartment with my own eyes. The witnesses are all there, so how can Xie Xiaoyuan get away with it."

When Tang Lin said that a large sum of money was found in Xie's house, He Jia'an didn't have any surprises on his face. His eyes fell on the few pieces of paper in front of him again, and he said with a smile: "Tang Lin, this is the one that Mr. Ding just sent. Come see the evidence first."

Tang Lin knew that there was this evidence, but he didn't come back with Ding Yuanchang when he invited him back to the government office. Now that he has received this evidence, he has read it carefully from beginning to end.

The evidence is only three thin pages. The first one is the conditions of compensation written by Ding Yuanchang, a Pazhou co-prefect. It is exactly as Wu Zhi said, compensation of 15 taels per mu of land, each household 20 taels of compensation.

The second one is the receipt with Xie Xiaoyuan's signature on receiving the silver.

When he saw the third picture, Tang Lin's expression froze for a moment. This picture was Xie Xiaoyuan's condition for personally handing out the compensation. The household compensation is only ten taels.

"This..." The situation couldn't be more clear. It must be that Xie Xiaoyuan changed the compensation money that Ding Yuanchang originally distributed to the common people without authorization. Ten thousand taels of silver, seeing that there is no way for the husband to account for it after taking office, so he simply died.

"It really deserves it." Tang Lin said bitterly, then handed back the evidence to He Jiaan, and then said aggrievedly: "I should have known that I should not have helped that Xie family, knowing that all the money is dirty money, but I have to accept it for him, it is not a pity for such a tricky woman to die."

Regarding Tang Lin's words, He Jia'an didn't try to correct his mistakes at first. After thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "Tang Lin, come with me." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the back office.

Although he didn't know what the husband asked him for, Tang Lin had long been used to his elusive behavior, and followed him curiously. After turning around, he came to a house.

Looking at the plaque written on the house and the yamen servant standing in front of the door, Tang Lin couldn't help asking in a daze: "Sir, what are you bringing me to the bank for?"

"Let you see the money that was just found from Xie's house." He Jiaan stepped forward, took out the key and unlocked the door, and then the door creaked open, and the two yamen guards who were guarding the door left. He came in and lit the torch on the wall.

As a treasury, there will naturally be a lot of silver in the treasury, but most of the silver boxes are tightly sealed. What He Jiaan wants Tang Lin to see is the silver that Niu Wei just sent here, and when he opens those After the silver inside the bag was exposed, Tang Lin stretched out his head to look, nodded and said, "That's right, these are the silver. I saw Mrs. Xie take it out from the secret compartment with my own eyes."

"Then is this number correct?" He Jiaan continued to ask.

Tang Lin glanced at it and nodded, "There should be nothing wrong."

After confirming, He Jiaan nodded, and asked someone to seal the place up again. After exiting the bank, the two of them walked slowly to the front yard. Looking at He Jiaan who had never spoken, Tang Lin seemed to feel that he It seems that something went wrong somewhere, but since my husband didn't say anything, I can only hold it in my heart and try to figure it out silently.

After returning to the living room, the expression on He Jiaan's face remained unchanged. He glanced at Tang Lin and asked lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, if Xie Xiaoyuan took all the money away by himself, it should be around tens of thousands of taels." ?”

Tang Lin nodded and said: "Indeed, when we were at Xie's house, Master Niu also asked Mrs. Xie this question, but Mrs. Xie said that Xie Xiaoyuan only brought back these, and Mr. Niu stopped asking about the whereabouts of these silver coins. I just blindly asked Mrs. Xie to prepare the rest of the money, even if I sell the house or the land, I have to collect the money."

As he was talking, Tang Lin's voice gradually slowed down. He didn't know if he didn't think about it. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that Mr. Niu was too easy to talk to?Then Xie said he believed that there were only these silvers, so why didn't he search carefully for the leftover silver at Xie's house, or did he already believe that this Xie's family didn't have that much money at all?

Thinking of such a possibility, the expression on Tang Lin's face suddenly changed, and he stared at He Jia'an dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, does this matter have something to do with Mr. Niu?"

He Jiaan didn't mean to hide his thoughts, nodded slightly and said: "Don't you think this cow is too nervous to jump up and down?"

"This..." Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, and when this so-called evidence was found, I was not at the scene. In such a big Xie Mansion, I am afraid that I don't know what they are doing in it.

Thinking of this, Tang Lin couldn't help picking up the evidence again, and asked suspiciously: "Sir, is this evidence fake?"

He Jiaan took the evidence and looked at it carefully, slowly shook his head and said: "The writing should be Mr. Ding's, but it doesn't matter when it was written."

With the willow branches above the moon, Paju City fell into darkness again. For most people, this night was just an extremely ordinary night, but for some people, it was difficult to fall asleep this night.

Although he has been traveling here and there with He Jia'an in the past few years, for Tang Lin, the scene he saw at Xie's house today still shocked him a lot, and he was a little confused when he saw the end. Is this Xie Xiaoyuan a good guy or a bad guy? ?Why?And even that Mr. Ding?How come the more I know, the more confused I become?

I didn't know when I fell asleep this night. When I opened my eyes in a daze, the sky outside was already bright. This was probably one of the few days when Tang Lin woke up late. After washing his face in a hurry, he He rushed to He Jiaan's yard in a hurry, only after arriving here did he realize that He Jiaan had already gone out early in the morning.

"Going out?" Tang Lin always felt a sense of crisis when he heard that He Jia'an had left him again. He hurried out of the government office, asked He Jiaan where he was going, and rode his horse to chase after him.

Chapter 1182 It Was You

The lessons from the previous few times kept appearing in front of his eyes, but this time the husband was out of his sight again, Tang Lin felt anxious, and his walking speed inevitably accelerated a lot. He hurriedly led the horse out of the government office, Tang Lin immediately Turning on the horse, he yanked the whip in his hand hard, and the fast horse in the crotch suffered from pain, and immediately galloped forward.

At this moment, a young man appeared out of nowhere on the empty street, as if he was desperate for his life, and immediately blocked the way of the fast horse. Tang Lin was shocked when he saw this, and quickly moved Pulling the reins, the horse suffered from the pain and stood up all at once.

Although he was taken aback, at least the boy who got out was fine. Tang Lin calmed down his panic, jumped off the horse as soon as he turned over, and rushed to the boy, just about to scold him. He spoke, but suddenly his face froze, pointing at the young man in front of him and said in surprise: "Why are you?"

The person standing in front of Tang Lin was none other than the young Xie He whom he had just met at the Xie Mansion yesterday. At this moment, Xie He's face was pale, and his bold actions just now really scared him enough , if possible, I don't want to just stop the horse in the street like this. If Tang Lin hadn't stopped the horse just now, I'm afraid that now...

Xie He quickly shook his head and put aside his own thoughts, as long as he has nothing to do now.

Seeing that Tang Lin recognized him, Xie He hurriedly said, "Young Master Tang, I have something urgent to see Mr. He, can you take me there?"

"You?" Tang Lin was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, looked at Xie He, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to see my husband?"

"This..." This evidence is the only thing that can prove my father's innocence. Naturally, Xie He couldn't just hand it over so easily. After hesitating for a while, he murmured: "I have evidence to prove that my father is innocent." of?"

Innocent?

Upon hearing these two words, Tang Lin felt disgust from the bottom of his heart. If your father is innocent, what about the money found?

Tang Lin didn't bother to pay attention to Xie He's words, so he snorted coldly and said, "You say your father is innocent, so just show the evidence."

"I have evidence, but I can't give it to you." Sheikh said boldly.

"Hmph, why are you stopping here if you can't leave it to me? Hurry up and get out of the way." Tang Lin became more and more impatient, and pushed Sheikh aside with a wave of his hand, and got on his horse directly. When he was about to leave, who Knowing that Xie He stood in front of his horse again, he said pitifully, "Young Master Tang, just take me to Mr. He, I really have evidence to clear my father's charges."

Tang Lin said coldly: "If you have evidence, you can go directly to the government office to file a complaint. Why stop me on the street, I still have something urgent to do, so get out of the way."

Xie He was still waiting to speak, but Tang Lin didn't bother to listen any more. He simply steered his horse around Xie He and galloped forward.

Seeing Tang Lin's leaving back, Xie He's face became more and more ugly. Why didn't he know that he could only see Mr. He when he went to the government office, but...

Thinking of Niu Wei's chubby face, Xie He felt a deep sense of fear in his heart. He was about to find a place to wait for Tang Lin to come back, but when he turned around, he was caught by the wall behind him. I was taken aback, and quickly raised my head, only to see a face that I least wanted to see appeared in front of me, and then that face smiled proudly at me, and said slowly: "Nephew Xie, see Why didn't you call someone after you, Uncle Niu? I heard that you want to clear up your father's grievances, come, come, uncle will take you to the government office to meet Mr. He."

Regardless of Xie He's young age, he has reached the age where he can tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy. How could he not know that Uncle Niu is a bad guy? Then he turned around and ran towards the direction where Tang Lin disappeared, shouting loudly as he ran, "Young Master Tang, save me quickly, save me quickly..."

Before the remaining word could be uttered, Xie He felt that his mouth was blocked by someone, and then a strong force picked him up by the waist, and walked back quickly.

What is waiting for his own fate, I am afraid that Xie He can vaguely think in his heart that although he has thought of such a way to stop Tang Lin, he still has not convinced him to trust him, and he has given him the evidence just now. I can give it a try, now I am fine, I have been caught by Niu Wei, I am afraid I will never see the sun of tomorrow again.

Just when Xie He was thinking wildly, Niu Wei suddenly turned into an alley beside the street. Halfway through the walk, he opened a door and got in. After entering the yard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and put the Xie He put it on the ground again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he drew out a sharp knife with ears and pointed it in front of him, and said triumphantly: "Tell me, where is the thing?"

"What?" Sheikh asked in a daze.

"Little thing, don't play tricks with me. If you take out the things quickly, maybe I can give you a good time. If you don't hand it over again, I will dig out your eyes first."

No matter how smart Xie He is, he is only a young man. After being so frightened by Niu Wei, a sense of panic appeared on his face, he licked his lips, and forced himself to calm down: "Uncle Niu, I really don't know what are you saying."

"I don't know? You'll know when I dig out your eyes." Niu Wei's hand was quick, grabbing Sheikh's hair with his left hand, and stabbing Sheikh's eyes with a knife in his right hand. It doesn't matter whether the evidence is in his hands or not, as long as Mrs. Xie and Xie He die, the case will be considered closed, and no one will rush to try for the dead.

Niu Wei's speed was very slow, because he wanted to look at Sheikh's eyes full of fear, and when he saw that his knife was about to stab Sheikh's eyes, suddenly there was a slight cracking sound in the air, and his ears just After catching the sound, the sound had already come to him, and then Niu Wei felt a sudden pain in his wrist, and then he yelled like killing a pig.

At the same time, a figure suddenly jumped down from the top of the wall, and in an instant, he came to Niu Wei, broke away the hand that was holding Xie He's hair, and then helped Xie He to a safe place. He took a look at Sheikh and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

For the current Xie He, Tang Lin who suddenly appeared in front of him like a god, and then rescued himself from the hands of the bad guys, he could no longer bear the fear in his heart, and burst into tears with a wow began to cry.

Tang Lin was taken aback by Xie He's appearance. Just now he saw that he looked like a little adult, and he didn't even cry in front of him with that stupid knife. Now that he was safe, he cried like this Miserably, I didn't have the mood to blame him, but I raised my head, looked at Niu Wei who was staring at me viciously, and sneered: "Master Niu is really good, he won't even let a child go, really It’s an eye-opener.”

Looking at the money dart stuck on his wrist, Niu Wei didn't know that Tang Lin was actually a master of martial arts, but the current situation did not allow him to take half a step back, so Xie He must be holding some things that are not good for him. If the evidence is obtained by He Jiaan, things will develop in an unpredictable direction.

So, no matter what, the Sheykh had to die today.
