Madam, let's steam buns together

Yang Wanxi didn't know this man, but when he saw the yamen servant coming here with a new face, he guessed in his heart that this would be an extremely important witness, and he had no idea what this witness could prove. He felt uneasy.

The witness looked bookish and was a scholar who was nearly half a century old. Perhaps it was because he had never been to the county government. At this moment, the witness looked very nervous.

Seeing his submissive appearance, Yang Wanxi felt some comfort in his heart, and the flustered feeling just now subsided a little.

Yang Wanxi planned to wait and see what happened, first to see what this person would say.

Soon, Yang Wanjian knew the purpose of this witness.

It turned out that this witness was the one who helped Yang Dabao see the original mortgage receipt. It was he who told Yang Dabao that the other party to the mortgage receipt was Yang Wanxi. Most importantly, the receipt he saw was the original intact one. The copies hadn't been destroyed by Yang Wanqian at that time.

This means that if this person has a very good memory, it is entirely possible that he can still remember the original text on that piece of paper!

If this is the case, Lao Xiucai will definitely be a strong witness to prove that Yang Wanjian really forged the receipt.

Now, Yang Wanjian had to panic.

I don't know if it was Yang Wanqian's illusion, he felt that the air around him was getting hotter and hotter, and his breathing and heartbeat rate gradually increased seemed to make it more and more difficult for him to think clearly, and his brain was heated into a puddle of paste.

Yang Wanxi quietly wiped his sweat, thinking that he was too nervous to become like this, so he looked over to Zhang Huaruo again.

Except for him and Boss Chen, no one else was in this state. Everyone seemed relaxed, and even Yang Dabao didn't feel nervous at all.

This made him even more puzzled, are these people so sure they can win?

Naturally, he didn't know what Yang Dabao was thinking. Just looking at Zhang Huaruo's back at this moment, Yang Dabao already felt extremely at ease.

Zhang Huaruo inadvertently looked sideways and met Yang Dabao's eyes. In just a short moment, Zhang Huaruo received the trust and warmth from the depths of Yang Dabao's eyes.

With just one glance, it seems that only the two of them are left in this small world, and no one else can be seen.

The prefect Wang is further questioning the witnesses, the old scholar is obedient, and he will answer whatever the prefect Wang asks, stern and cautious.

Wang Zhifu asked him: "Since you don't remember what was written on Yang Dabao's mortgage receipt, how can you be sure that the contents on this receipt have changed?"

The reason why Wang Zhifu asked this question was because the old scholar told him just now that the old scholar had indeed seen the undamaged mortgage receipt with his own eyes, but several years had passed. Definitely can't fully remember what's inside.

However, although the old scholar said that he no longer remembered the details of the mortgage receipt, he was still able to testify for Yang Dabao. interest of.

It also hooked Yang Wanxi's heart, hanging there up and down.

Facing Wang Zhifu's question, the old scholar calmed down and replied: "It is precisely because I have no impression of the receipt from Yang Dabao's house that I can be sure that the content of the current receipt is not the one I saw back then. "

Faced with Wang Zhifu's puzzled eyes, the old scholar continued to explain: "This receipt was written ten years ago. Ten years ago, the price of the entire Li Dynasty was not at the same level as it is now. At that time, 50 taels of silver could buy it. A lot of things, not to mention 500 taels, if I saw 500 taels written on the receipt at that time, I would definitely remember this number, not like now, I just remember that I helped Yang Dabao read this receipt, yes The numbers above are unimpressive."

The words of the old scholar are a bit strange at first, but they do make sense when you think about it carefully.

Whether people can remember a long-term event often depends on whether there is something worth remembering about this event.

It's like going out for a meal once in a while, eating a roadside stall and eating Xianmanlou once in life, and then mentioning these two experiences after a while, the former may remember going out to eat once, but not How much did you spend for what you ate, but for the latter, you may still deeply remember what good wine and food you ate in Xianmanlou that day, and who you met in Xianmanlou.

It is not uncommon for a steamed stuffed bun shop to cost 50 taels, but if it can be worth 500 taels, the old scholar will be secretly shocked that Yang Dabao has such a rich relative!

If you can spend 500 taels to help Yang Dabao's family get through the difficulties, the relationship between these two families must be very good, but from the current point of view, the relationship between Yang Wanxi and Yang Dabao's family belongs to ordinary relatives, not too distant. Not very intimate either.

Wang Zhifu already had his own considerations in his mind, and the current evidence indicated that Yang Wanxi had made a fraud, but he could not just rely on these small points to adjudicate the case, he needed more clear evidence, or in other words, he needed to pry open the case. Yang Wanqian's mouth made him admit that he made a mistake.

Wang Zhifu cast his eyes on Zhang Huaruo, wanting to see if Zhang Huaruo could produce stronger evidence, but in the end, he saw that Zhang Huaruo was looking at Yang Dabao affectionately, and was speechless for a while, raised his hand to touch He touched his nose and coughed heavily, trying to get Zhang Huaruo's attention back.

Sure enough, Zhang Huaruo was called back to his attention by his coughing, Wang Zhifu hurriedly gestured with his eyes, wanting to

Zhang Huaruo produced more evidence, but Zhang Huaruo didn't show any obvious expression or reaction, which made Wang Zhifu a little confused.

Soon, Wang Zhifu realized, could it be that Zhang Huaruo had no other evidence?But Zhang Huaruo couldn't let Yang Wanxi and Boss Chen see it, so he didn't show it clearly to him.

Zhang Huaruo looked at Yang Wanqian, and felt that the time was ripe now, and the medicinal effect of Thirteenth Moon Grass should have taken effect. Coupled with the small evidence thrown out before, it has gradually led people to the point of jealousy and anxiety.

Yang Wanxi's current psychological defense is very weak, and he can be easily shattered with just a little inducement and shock.

Sure enough, when Yang Wanxi saw Zhang Huaruo looking at him now, he panicked. He was afraid that this person could produce other evidence, and he was even more afraid that this person would attack him and ask him questions at this time.

However, the reality is that the more you are afraid of something, the more you will get something, or in other words, Zhang Huaruo is waiting for this moment.

Zhang Huaruo walked towards Yang Wanxi, but it was only a few steps away. Yang Wanxi stared at Zhang Huaruo step by step as he approached, subconsciously took half a step back, and felt that why should he be afraid of such a weak-looking man who took half a step back? He retracted again, lowered his head slightly, and kept his eyes fixed on Zhang Huaruo.

The word "preparation" is written all over the body.

Zhang Huaruo looked at Yang Wanqian, but he was speaking to Wang Zhifu, the content of the words was about the old scholar, the witness, the more Yang Wanqian listened, the more he felt that what Zhang Huaruo said made sense, and it took a while to recover and realize that he was Why are you raising others' ambitions? You have to look away in a hurry.

At the moment when Yang Wanxi looked away, Zhang Huaruo quietly approached him, and suddenly whispered in Yang Wanxi's ear, "Cousin, is it 500 taels or 50 taels?"

A faint fragrance permeated the air, and Yang Wanxi didn't have time to think about it, so he said without thinking, "How could I get 500 taels!"

Zhang Huaruo's voice was very soft, but not too loud to be inaudible. The yamen was very quiet at the moment, only a few of them were talking, and the people outside couldn't hear what Zhang Huaruo asked, but Wang Zhifu heard and saw it.

That's enough!

Zhang Huaruo turned to face Wang Zhifu, took out a survey record from his pocket, and handed it in: "This is written about the family situation of Yang Wanjian's family from 20 years ago to the present. Now he can't take out 500 taels readily. Not to mention back then!"

Wang Zhifu slapped the gavel at the right time, shocking everyone, even Yang Wanqian couldn't help shaking.

Wang Zhifu immediately asked him: "Since you can't get 500 taels, why is there written 500 taels on this mortgage receipt! Yang Wanxi, what's the real situation, I want you to recruit it truthfully!"

Wang Zhifu put on a stern face, his stern face was really frightening, Yang Wanxi was a person who could only bully the weak and fear the strong, it was only after seeing Yang Dabao being bullied that he came up with a plan to make some money.

Now that this matter has come to the court, seeing that his little trick has basically been exposed, and he only needs to admit it to make a conclusion, Yang Wanxi began to weaken his legs, and a thought flashed in his mind: Or really hurry up Plead guilty, seek clemency?

After all, this matter is only a civil dispute, even if Yang Wanxi admits to the crime, at most it is only a fine, so that he can return the shop to Yang Dabao as soon as possible.

For Zhang Huaruo, as long as Yang Wanjian is willing to admit it and return the land deed and mortgage receipt to Yang Dabao, today's yamen affairs will come to an end, leaving a little room for Yang Dabao's cousin.

However, Zhang Huaruo still underestimated Yang Wanqian's cunning mind, and within a few moments of hesitation, Yang Wanqian thought of another excuse.

Apparently this person has lied and said he is addicted, and when he speaks lies, he opens his mouth like eating.

Yang Wanqian said: "My lord, I suddenly remembered! Our two families did agree on 500 taels back then, but my family couldn't afford that much at that time, so I gave 50 taels first!"

Hearing Yang Wanqian's sophistry, Zhang Huaruo was about to be laughed at by this anger, lowered his eyebrows, and soon had an idea.

Zhang Huaruo first followed Yang Wanxi's words: "Oh? Uncle Biao means that although it says 500 taels on the paper, in fact, my cousin's family only paid 50 taels to Dabao's family back then?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yang Wanxi nodded uncontrollably.

Zhang Huaruo glanced at Yang Dabao, obviously asking Yang Dabao about Dabao's attitude. Yang Dabao couldn't help showing a disappointed expression to his cousin at this moment. Seeing Zhang Huaruo looking at him as if he was asking, Yang Dabao understood Zhang Huaruo's meaning, clicked nodded.

Take the shop back first, as for cousin...

Since then, it is better for the two families not to have any contact.

Zhang Huaruo knew that Yang Dabao was soft-hearted, and Dabao was soft-hearted, but he didn't want to let Yang Wanxi go.

He should get back for Dabao what he should get back for Dabao, and he must not let Dabao suffer half a grievance from others!
