My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1198

[Chapter 1161 You lied to me]

“Oh, is there no problem?”

Mr. Feng said calmly after listening.

“Yes, what Mr. Feng said first is right, but what he said later is wrong, because I didn’t give Xu Wenchang any money at all.”

“I didn’t give him any money? Then where did his money come from? It couldn’t be him. Pay for it, right?”

After hearing what Jing Zhe said, Mr. Feng was a little confused.

“Master Feng really guessed it right! I wanted to give him fifteen thousand taels of silver at that time, but he said that Da’an Newspaper was founded by His Majesty, and it was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, and he was an official. After many years, I naturally wanted to do something good for the country, so he provided the money.

I agreed at the time, but later I thought that even though Xu Wenchang had been the governor of Jiangling for many years, his annual salary was fixed. , let alone fifteen thousand taels, even five thousand taels was difficult to get, so I became suspicious and asked the old monk Kongjing, and then I found out about his corruption!”

“…”

To be honest, Mr. Feng didn’t hear much about what happened next, because all he could think about now was “fifteen thousand taels.” As soon as Jing Zhe finished speaking, he immediately asked: “What did you just say…want to ask for fifteen thousand taels?” “Give him two taels of silver?”

“Yes, Feng’s Restaurant is the best in Jiangling, and it has four floors. There is an endless stream of customers every day, let alone fifteen thousand taels, even if it is twenty thousand It’s not much! But after all, I am doing business for the court and I can’t afford much money, so I am going to buy Feng’s Restaurant for fifteen thousand taels!”

“…”

Mr. Feng was stunned. And Mrs. Feng also felt that something seemed wrong, because Jing Zhe did take the initiative to buy Feng’s restaurant for fifteen thousand taels of silver.

At this time, Jing Zhe said again: “Xu Wenchang didn’t let me take the money. Instead, he spent 15,000 taels of silver to trade with Mr. Feng and got the house deed. But now the truth is revealed. The 10,000 taels he used to trade The five thousand taels of silver are all proceeds of corruption and should be confiscated, so this transaction cannot be established at all!”

At this point, Jing Zhe took out the guarantee letter and land deed for buying the Feng Family Restaurant with fifteen thousand taels of silver.

“Uncle Feng, the land deed is now given to you, but you have to give me the fifteen thousand taels of silver and hand it over to the court!”

Upon hearing this, Officer Feng immediately ran away: “President Jing, I didn’t get ten thousand taels at all. Five thousand taels of silver!”

At this time, Feng Da Yuanwai had already cursed Prefect Xu countless times in his heart. He now believed Jing Zhe’s statement that Prefect Xu deliberately bought Feng’s restaurant in order to please Jing Zhe. He took over the job, but ended up buying the restaurant at a low price of five thousand taels of silver!

Isn’t this… money laundering?

“Didn’t get fifteen thousand taels of silver? What do you mean?”

Feng Da Yuanwai quickly said: “President Jing, there must be a misunderstanding! Xu Wenchang told you to buy Feng’s Restaurant with fifteen thousand taels of silver, but He actually only gave us five thousand taels!”

Jing Zhe shook his head and said dissatisfied: “Uncle Feng, you lied to me.”

“President Jing, how could I dare to lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can ask my wife! “

Mrs. Feng also nodded vigorously. She now believed Jing Zhe’s words and felt that Prefect Xu had deceived them. Now Mrs. Feng no longer has any trust in Prefect Xu.

“Haha, do you think I’m stupid? You two are husband and wife, so naturally you are in the same team. I don’t believe what you say!”

Jing Zhe shook his head.

“President Jing, we really didn’t lie to you! That guy Xu Wenchang… is really too shady!”

Jing Zhe ignored Mr. Feng’s crying and continued: “I don’t believe this, because I have evidence to prove that Xu Wenchang gave You have fifteen thousand taels of silver.”

“What evidence?”

Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng said in unison.

“First of all, according to the confessions of the old monk Kongjing and Xu Wenchang himself, he embezzled more than 20,000 taels of silver in these years. However, after I arrested Xu Wenchang, I only collected less than 5,000 taels of silver from him. The remaining one How about more than 5,000 taels? Just in line with you.

Also, even a fool knows that the huge Feng family restaurant must have more than 5,000 taels of silver, and Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng don’t look stupid either. Well, you’re not that stupid anyway, why would you agree to sell the restaurant for 5,000 taels?

So, looking at it this way, Xu Wenchang must have bought the restaurant with 15,000 taels of silver. I won’t let you suffer. Xu Wenchang bought Feng’s Restaurant with fifteen thousand taels of stolen money. Then I will exchange the land deed of Feng’s Restaurant with you for the fifteen thousand taels. How about that? Are you at a loss? “

It’s a real loss!

Officer Feng obviously only received 5,000 taels of silver. If the exchange was carried out as Jing Zhe said, he would lose a net loss of 10,000 taels of silver. How could he agree?

After thinking about it, he finally had an idea: “President Jing, we really were deceived by Xu Wenchang! He told you that he bought the deed of our restaurant with fifteen thousand taels of silver, but in fact he only gave you We have five thousand taels! By the way, we have evidence!”

During the transaction, the receipt written by Governor Xu and Feng DaYuanWai was for five thousand taels. Without this receipt, Feng DaYuanWai would not have handed over the land deed.

Therefore, Feng Da Yuanwai felt that as soon as he took out the receipt for the five thousand taels, Jing Zhe would understand – until now, he still naively felt that Jing Zhe was a victim just like him.

“What evidence?”

“President Jing, wait a moment!” Mr.

Feng would not always carry this kind of transaction receipt, so he immediately asked Mrs. Feng to get it.

After a while, Mr. Feng handed the receipt that Mrs. Feng had brought back to Jing Zhe: “President Jing, look! Mr. Xu used five thousand taels of silver to take away the land deed from my hand! What if? If President Jing really wants to confiscate the stolen money, then I will return the five thousand taels of silver to President Jing – but this house deed…”

Mr. Feng did not say any more, but the meaning was already obvious, that is, Jing Zhe can get it back. These five thousand taels, but the deed of the Feng Family Restaurant must be handed back!

In fact, Officer Feng is still a little happy now, because he had heard from Prefect Xu that Jing Zhe was overbearing, so he had no choice but to accept compensation and sell the restaurant for 5,000 taels!

Looking at it now, I saw that they originally planned to buy their restaurant for fifteen thousand taels! So now he wants to quickly return all the stolen money of 5,000 taels to Jing Zhe and get back the house deed. When Jing Zhe comes to buy Feng’s Restaurant again, it will be 15,000 taels!

After going back and forth like this, in and out, compared to the five thousand taels he had accepted before, he could earn an extra ten thousand taels. Can he be unhappy?
