Chapter 038 Owed money and not repaid.

Seeing that Mr. Bookkeeper was so entangled, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Mr. Bookkeeper doesn't have to worry too much, just say what you have, whether it is useful or not, I will judge." ”

At this time, Yin Wuxian also couldn't wait to say: "What's the matter, you should tell it first." ”

The bookkeeper was helpless, so he had to say: "Once I copied the account book for Boss Dong, and found that there was an IOU in his account book, which was written by Zhu Yougui, which said that he borrowed 1,000 taels of silver from Boss Dong to do business, and he would pay it back after the goods were bought." ”

"Can you see clearly?" Hua Lang asked with some excitement.

The bookkeeper nodded: "Naturally, it is clear." ”

After there was nothing to ask, Hua Lang and the others left Dong Cheng's rice store, and after leaving, Wen Meng immediately said: "There is no doubt that this Zhu Yougui is a murderer, he doesn't want to pay back, so he killed Dong Cheng, and then stole the IOU, so as to avoid the debt of one thousand taels of silver." ”

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is extremely possible to kill people for this amount of silver.

It's just that even so, it still doesn't make sense, if the murderer is really Zhu Yougui, and Zhu Yougui killed Dong Cheng because of money, then why didn't he take Dong Cheng's 1,000 taels of silver?

Everyone doesn't understand this, but it's imperative that they go and see Zhu Yougui first.

Zhu Yougui is in the silk business, in Tianchang County can do well, to find his shop is also very easy, after Hua Lang and a few people entered Zhu Yougui's silk shop, someone immediately greeted them and asked them what they needed, Hua Lang looked around, and said: "We are looking for Boss Zhu, is he there?" ”

At this time, a voice came from inside: "Who is looking for me?" ”

Hua Lang looked for prestige, only to see Zhu Yougui of medium stature, not fat or thin, and a little handsome, after he came out from behind, he arched his hand to Ye Xing and said, "I don't know who a few people are, what is the important thing to find Zhu?" ”

Hua Lang's face changed slightly, and he said, "I'm from the Yamen, and I came to Boss Zhu because I wanted to ask you a few words about Dong Cheng's killing." ”

Zhu Yougui looked incredulous, and said: "You are from the Yamen, impossible, I know all the people from the Yamen, but I haven't seen a few of you." ”

Hua Lang saw that the lie was exposed, but he was not in a hurry, and said: "You always know what happened when the county order of Changxian County was changed that day, right?" ”

Zhu Yougui nodded: "I know this." ”

Hua Lang smiled coldly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, a county order will naturally change the officials, don't talk nonsense, answer my question honestly." ”

Although Zhu Yougui didn't believe it, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to let Hualang ask.

"I heard that Boss Zhu owes Dong Cheng more than 1,000 taels of silver, right?" After Hua Lang finished asking, he stared at Zhu Yougui in order to observe the changes in Zhu Yougui's face.

Zhu Yougui was taken aback, and then asked very calmly: "Who did you listen to, my Zhu Yougui's silk is not bad, is it necessary to borrow a thousand taels of silver from Dong Cheng?" You say I owe Dong Cheng a thousand taels of silver, is there any evidence? ”

Zhu Yougui seemed to have already made preparations, he expected that Hualang and the others had no IOUs, no evidence, and did not dare to do anything to him.

After listening to Zhu Yougui's words, Hua Lang suddenly felt that he was in a hurry, and now only Mr. Accounts has seen the IOU, but the IOU is gone, and it is useless to rely on Mr. Accounts is a few words.

And now, they can't force Zhu Yougui to hand over the IOU, or the IOU has already been torn up by Zhu Yougui, and they can't find the IOU at all.

Hua Lang was sweating, but he didn't bother to wipe it, lest he wipe the sweat and make people think that he had no choice, and he didn't know how to deal with Zhu Yougui.

Zhu Yougui saw that Hua Lang was speechless, so he smiled coldly: "If you don't buy cloth, please do it immediately, we still have to do business here, and if a few people are from the Yamen, I will send someone to find out later." ”

Wen Meng was so rude when he heard that Zhu Yougui was so rude, and he was about to start beating someone, but just when he was about to do it, he was suddenly stopped by Hua Lang, if he really started beating people, they really ignored it.

Wen Mengmeng saw Hua Lang stop him, and asked angrily, "Why didn't you let me beat him?" ”

At this time, Yin Wuxian was also very angry, and said: "Why don't you teach him a lesson first and force him to tell the truth." ”

What they said was blatant, as if they didn't take Zhu Yougui in their eyes at all, and after Zhu Yougui listened to their words, he smiled disdainfully: "You want to beat me, come on, you will feel good if you beat me, I will sue you for lynching." ”

Zhu Yougui said proudly, Hua Lang saw this, and smiled faintly: "We won't beat you, but there is one thing that requires you to go to the yamen with us." ”

Zhu Yougui didn't care, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you guys, but I always have to let me know what the Dao is, right?" ”

Hua Lang nodded: "Dong Cheng's account book was stolen, I suspect that you stole it, so I need you to go to the county government with us to do some investigation." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Zhu Yougui suddenly said very excitedly: "Nonsense, when did I steal Dong Cheng's account books, don't you spew blood, why do you suspect that I stole Dong Cheng's account books?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Yougui was still stiff-mouthed, Hua Lang shrugged helplessly, and said: "I have already asked the guys at Dong Cheng's rice grain store, only you have been there and stayed there for a stick of incense, and no one looked at you for a quarter of an hour, there is so much time, you have time to commit crimes, do you want to argue?" ”

Zhu Yougui smiled coldly: "I went to Dong Cheng's rice grain store, but I didn't steal Dong Cheng's account books, if you don't believe it, what if I go with you to the county office?" ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Hua Lang immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Zhu, please!" ”

Zhu Yougui saw that Hua Lang really wanted to take him to the county office, but he couldn't for a while, so he had to go hard.

On the way to the county office, Zhu Yougui behaved very naturally, as if he was not guilty at all, but was framed by Hualang and others.

And Hua Lang and the others ignored him, just secretly trying to figure out how to get Zhu Yougui to admit that he stole Dong Cheng's account books and owed Dong Cheng more than 1,000 taels of silver.

If Zhu Yougui has already burned the account books and IOUs, then this matter will be very difficult to do, without evidence, it is simply impossible to rely on the mouth of a bookkeeper.

Seeing Hua Lang's brows, Yin Wuxian frowned, and said, "Do you want me to sneak into Zhu Yougui's house to search and see if there are any account books?" ”

After hearing Yin Wu's words, Hua Lang shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid the account books are gone, and it's useless to go." ”
