Chapter 22: Go to court and send money
Wang Zhong told Ge Guangmu that even if this matter was reported to the Yamen, the Yamen would not pay attention to it, and if Ge Guangmu insisted on denying it, Zhang Zuwang could only suffer a loss for this kind of thing.
Ge Guangmu was really unwilling to pay back the money, and when he heard Wang Zhong say this, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Wang Erzhu came a few times, and he didn't dare to say anything about debts, Wang Zhong replied that they were a big family, how could they owe money to others, if they came again, don't blame him for being polite.
Wang Erzhu went back and told Zhang Zuwang, Zhang Zuwang could no longer maintain self-cultivation, and scolded, saying that Ge Guangmu is also a scholarly child, how can he be so rebellious.
"Lao Zhang, what you said is not right, if you are really a scholar, how can you come here. Are you still the Xie family's treasure tree? This is not a scholarly disciple, but someone else's ancestor is a feudal official, he has to rely on you, what can you do?"
Zhang Zhishu was still angry about the two hundred taels of silver, and said sarcastically.
Zhang Zuwang thought about it and asked Lu Ya to come over, hoping that Lu Ya, the master of Shuqi, could help.
After Lu Ya arrived, he heard about this and said with a smile: "If it was before, this matter would have been difficult to handle, but now the prefect has gone to another place, and now it is the two adults Tongju and Tongzhi who are doing things." It's not that I said, these two adults are people who have money and reason, and those who have no money and are unreasonable, and money can change reason. ”
After Zhang Zuwang listened, he asked Lu Ya how much silver he wanted.
Lu Ya said that at least one hundred taels of silver, if he didn't come forward by himself, even the master wouldn't be able to send it away, let alone pass the sentence.
Zhang Zuwang said that there are not so many now, and he hopes that Lu Ya can be lenient and wait until the silver arrives, and then dredge it.
"Zhang Xianggong, you are really angry, how can you say such nonsense, this official, do you have to wait for the aftermath to take a step back and say, if you don't dredge it first, when the time comes, the general judgment will look at the scroll and see that there are six hundred amounts of silver written on it, and then he will talk to the boy of the Ge family, give him three hundred taels of silver, and let us lose, do you say that this boy of the Ge family is willing to give three hundred taels, or is he willing to give six hundred taels?"
After Zhang Zuwang listened, he looked at Zhang Zhishu, and Zhang Zhishu hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, half of the two hundred taels of silver are mine, I don't have any grandfather in Futai, the county respects my father, I really can't do anything about this hundred taels of silver." ”
"That dog is really, I have been fighting birds all my life, and I didn't expect to be pecked in the eye by this chick in the end."
Zhang Zuwang then took out the only family wealth and handed it to Lu Ya, Lu Ya didn't say a word, picked up the pen and wrote an excerpt, saying that Ge Guangmu borrowed money and did not pay it back.
As for what he was borrowing money for, Lu Ya naturally didn't need to write it down, so he handed it over.
This sentence took the money, so the next day he asked the catcher to go and get the people, and the catcher arrived in the Gofu and said his intentions.
Wang Zhong hurriedly took out the money, and when the Zhang family was still at a loss, Wang Zhong had already sent it away.
This is because Ge Guangmu is a scholar, so Wang Zhong hopes not to bring these shackles, and the catchers see that Ge Guangmu is not clothed, and after accepting the money, they take Ge Guangmu to the yamen.
After the general judgment was promoted, when he saw Ge Guangmu and was about to let Ge Guangmu kneel, the Fu Cheng on the side told the general judge that the Ge family had been well-dressed for generations, and his father used to be a member of the five-life court, so he was still exempted from kneeling.
After hearing this, the general judge looked at Ge Guangmu and asked Ge Guangmu: "I don't know what relationship Ge Gongshijie has with you."
"What a father."
After hearing this sentence, I remembered that Ge Wenying and himself were also the same year and enjoyed the grace of God together in Ruimen.
In addition, Fu Cheng said that the Ge family had been well-dressed for generations, and thought that Ge Guangmu was also a noble, so he couldn't help but favor Ge Guangmu.
If it is a random family, then the general judge will naturally stick to his principles, but after Xungui, then say another thing. Between the nobles, there is always a peculiar sense of sympathy.
The general judgment also exempted Ge Guangmu from kneeling and let the plaintiff be summoned later.
Zhang Zuwang was naturally reluctant to come in, and he thought that it was bad luck to enter the yamen, so he found a good friend in the past, the owner of a hotel.
Zhang Zuwang's house has not been open for many years, and the owner of the hotel naturally does not dare to slack off on himself, the biggest guest, and after listening to Zhang Zuwang, he has already taken care of everything, so he agreed.
When he entered, the judge inquired about his occupation.
After the owner of the hotel finished speaking, the general judge asked: "Six hundred taels is correct, right?" ”
The owner of the hotel nodded, and at this time, the general judge was furious, patted the desk and said: "Presumptuous, you dare to deceive this official, you can have six hundred taels of silver in a hotel, even if you have it, you can lend it out."
When the owner of the hotel saw this situation, he trembled, and watched Lu Ya see this situation from the side, and couldn't help but play.
The general judge let him in, and Lu Ya said: "My lord, it is not strange that this hotel has two hundred taels, this Gefu is a famous big family in the city, this loan is six hundred taels, as long as there is money, it will definitely be borrowed." ”
"I don't know who is witnessing"
Wang Erzhu came up and kowtowed to explain.
The general judgment asked the hotel owner to go down and asked Wang Erzhu: "Where did you borrow money?" ”
"In a small home."
After Wang Erzhu finished speaking, he pretended to be smart and said: "The owner of this hotel doesn't have so much money, so he has to borrow it from my master." ”
The general judgment asked the master to write it down, and then asked the boss to come up and ask, "Where did you lend him this money?" ”
The boss thought that this Zhang Zuwang didn't want to get into trouble, so he said: "In the small shop, the small one personally opened the account room and took it out." ”
After hearing this, the general judge knocked on the wood and scolded loudly: "I have seen the resistance, and the official will ask you again, what is this Ge Guangmu's plan to borrow these six hundred taels of silver?"
"Adults, small ones just borrow them, don't dare to ask."
"There is such a foolish person in the matter, six hundred taels of silver, and he lends it out without asking the reason."
At this time, Ge Guangmu also woke up from the panic, and hurriedly defended: "My lord, although my family is not a rich family, it is also considered to have assets, how can I borrow it from outsiders, my lord will know it, my lord will know it." ”
Hearing this, the general judge looked at the hotel owner and said, "You said that you can't tell why this person borrowed money, so the official can only sentence the two of you to conspire to extort the good family." ”
After hearing this, the boss had no choice but to say: "My lord, I am wronged, this is Zhang Zuwang Master Zhang, his old man asked the little one to come, and the little one really doesn't know." ”
After hearing this, the general judge said loudly: "Pretend to be the plaintiff, disturb the yamen and take it down according to the law." ”
After the general judgment was finished, let the arrest go to pass Zhang Zuwang quickly.
Zhang Zuwang was watching from the sidelines, and immediately walked out, saluted to the general judge, and said, "Late born here, meet Lord Tongju." ”
"Zhang Zuwang, you also heard what happened just now, whether the six hundred taels of silver were borrowed by you."
When Zhang Zuwang was about to say something, Lu Ya shook his head at him at this time, Lu Ya is an extremely delicate person, and he knows that now that this sentence has turned his face, if he continues to make trouble now, he is afraid that the loss will be greater.
Zhang Zuwang is also a smart person, and he thought that it seemed that the Ge family had dredged it up, so he had to say: "Wansheng didn't know about it, it was this slave who did it from Wansheng." ”
After all, the general judgment took Zhang Zuwang a hundred taels of silver, so he naturally didn't want to entangle more, and then he caned Wang Erzhu and twenty boards, even if the case was closed.
After the general judge waited for the court, he asked the master to write a letter and hand it to Ge Guangmu.
Ge Guangmu looked at it, and said that he understood in his heart that Ge Guangmu owed Zhang Zuwang 600 taels of silver because of the word Bei.
It's just that because Ge Guangmu's father and himself were in the same year, they lived in Jinghua and enjoyed the royal feast together, so he took pity on Ge Guangmu and gave this matter away.
He hoped that Ge Guangmu would no longer be mixed with Zhang Zuwang and others in the future, and there would be a hurt family style.
The general judgment is not because Ge Guangmu is accusing him of playing leaf cards, but because he feels that Zhang Zuwang and these people have no foundation and are not qualified to stay with them.
After Ge Guangmu read the letter, he had the idea of changing his mind.
Of course, this is also good, Zhang Zuwang suffered such a big loss, so naturally he would not look for him, and Gou Geng, he had to hide from Zhang Zuwang, worried that Zhang Zuwang would calculate this account on his head, so he would suffer a loss.
Without Gou Ploughing to find it, Ge Guangmu can also study with peace of mind.
This Mr. Hui is still the same, Ge Guangmu's idea of wanting to study has only appeared for two days, and under the boring preaching, he disappeared without a trace.
Mr. Hui didn't care much about his disciples, he was quite complacent, after all, the Ge family had more restraints this year than the three years of the peasant family.
On this day, when Mr. Hui returned home, his son Sancai came over and pestered him and said, "Dad, I want to eat candy." ”
"Okay, I'll let your mom buy it tomorrow."
"I'll buy anything, tomorrow after school, I'll go to the street to buy it, and by the way, I'll buy some lo-mei and come back."
After hearing this, Mr. Hui said to Zhou: "This is not possible, I am a scholar, if I am seen buying things on the street, what kind of system will it be." ”
"It's still a system, your student, he didn't admit it when he lost money, and he relied on his ancestors to rely on the past, what kind of system is this."
When Mr. Hui heard this, he shook his head and said: "It's just a rumor in the market, and you women believe it, what kind of family is this Ge family, only six hundred taels, and we have thirty taels a year, like his family, is your previous family so bold." ”
After hearing this, Zhou nodded, this Ge family is indeed much richer than her previous rich family.
"By the way, this year's bundle should be kept, and take out twenty taels to the old family, these fifty taels of silver, rely on them to pay it back, I don't know when it will be returned."
After hearing this, Zhou was speechless, and said to Mr. Hui: "You earned this money, why should you help them pay off their debts." ”
"Well, it's not because of you and I that I borrowed money."
"You are still a scholar, this eldest brother is like a father, he helped you borrow money to complete the marriage, that is a matter of course, you have a share of your family's land"
