Zhupo Mountain, although late autumn, is still lush with vegetation.

Jingzhao Du clan has been a prominent eunuch since the Han Dynasty, Du Siwen's branch has always been prosperous since the Sui Dynasty, and when Du Siwen arrived, he was full of natural heritage, just the trees transplanted from this mountain, and the gardeners who were raised, was a considerable number. Usually Du Siwen and a few concubines live in the meantime, enjoying the flowers and planting chrysanthemums, but now there are more Du Shisanniang and Cui Jianxuan, Du Siwen added a little fun, and at this moment, Du Shisanniang helped him walk on the wooden bridge in the lotus pond behind, and his face was full of smiles.

"Although you were in a hurry about your marriage, you didn't have time to let my old uncle drink a glass of wine, but this family affair is good."

Not long after the newlywed, Du Sanniang couldn't help blushing slightly when she was said like this. And Du Siwen saw her little child's delicate appearance, and couldn't help but smile even more and quipped: "The right door is only one of them, Qinghe Cui's family has gone up a step since Cui Tai's brother Cui Ge, but this generation has no people who are extremely outstanding, and it is inevitable that it will go downhill." But you have lived in Cui's house, and your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are all familiar with it, although Cui Shiyilang is not amazing, but he is a person who can feel sorry for his daughter-in-law, so this family business is very suitable for you. For example, when your brother got married, his daughter-in-law's burden was much heavier than yours, and it was not easy for him."

"Old uncle......" Du Shisanniang stopped talking, thinking that Du Siwen knew who Du Shiyi's favorite person was, she couldn't help but calm down a little, and asked in a low voice, "Brother and Wang Niangzi, when will they be able to cultivate together?" ”

"It's hard to say." Du Siwen shook his head slightly, "The Wang family is rich, and the people who covet it don't know how many; Your brother has a lot of enemies, unless his self-protection power is enough, he also has to worry about whether he will implicate the woman. The two of them, the people they are looking for are so troublesome, it's really not that they don't get together, this Wang Yuanbao probably doesn't know that the girl is outgoing, and he fell in love with such a son-in-law, otherwise I don't know if I'm happy or worried."

As he said this, he stopped to look at the remnants of the pond, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two people coming side by side, and immediately smiled: "Say Cao cāo, Cao cāo arrives, you see, your husband and brother are walking together, people who don't know still think that this uncle Lang is a brother It's easy to take time out to see you, let's go and meet them."

"Uncle, my brother also came to see you."

"That's an excuse for your brother, the most precious thing has always been, it's your sister"

Du Sanniang was blushing when Du Siwen said it, but she was happy in her heart. When she helped Du Siwen and returned along the same road, she saw Du Shiyi and Cui Jianxuan come forward to salute together, and she had to let go of her hand and curtsied, calling out to Brother. Sure enough, she didn't have time to say a few goodbyes, so she only heard Cui Jianxuan say: "Thirteen Niang, I have already said Du Shi...... Ahem, brother-in-law. At that time, even if you are in a hurry, you should talk to me when you are in the Eastern Capital, how can I come to Chang'an with him, and it will cause you to worry."

"Hehe, what I'm saying is that your sister is still newly married, and your brother killed the two of them to leave the eastern capital and run to Chang'an, and they also came to me every day to accompany my old man to enjoy the flowers, the moon and the beauties, and as a result, many people outside this mountain were watching, but it was a lot of hard work" Du Siwen was in a very good mood, and after a few jokes, seeing that Du Shiyi immediately thanked Cui Jianxuan and Du Shisanniang, he said with a smile, "When others do things under Song Guangping, they must all tremble, for you, I'm afraid you can't ask for it, right?" ”

"Although Song Kaifu is steep, as long as he treats each other with sincerity and does not have a utilitarian heart, he is actually a good person to get along with. Listening to its assignment effect, I only need to do my best, and I don't need to worry about it, so I naturally can't ask for it. Du Shiyi remembered that she had been worried about dealing with Wang Yi before, but now she was busy, but she slept soundly and peacefully, and couldn't help laughing. But he visited Du Siwen today, but in addition to personal affairs, he had other important matters, so he took out a scroll of transcribed paper from his sleeve and handed it to Du Siwen with both hands, "I really don't hide it from my uncle, I came here today, and I want to ask you to take a look at this." ”

"Huh?"

Du Siwen opened it and took a look, and the joke just now was swept away, and his gaze looked extraordinarily solemn. And Du Sanniang glanced at it quietly, and saw that it seemed to be something like a silver account book, she thought about it slightly, and her heart couldn't help but be awe-inspired.

After carefully reading it from beginning to end, Du Siwen asked in a deep voice, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Quan Chubi's house was copied and inspected, according to the housekeeper of his family, it was recorded by the master himself, and there should be no doubt that it is a current account. This is only a part of the records I have excerpted, but in fact it is much larger, and the number involved is ......," Du Shiyi paused for a moment, and his voice became extremely low for a moment, "The number involved is as high as tens of thousands, and the number of personnel is hundreds. ”

Don't look at the dowry that Du Shiyi prepared for Du Shisanniang, there are a full 20,000 yuan, but except for the really rich princes and princesses, the idlers can't come up with such cash at all, not to mention that the Quan family is not as good as it was back then, and Quan Chubi is only Quan Huaien's nephew. Therefore, even if Du Sanniang knew that she should not intervene in such a family and country affair, she still couldn't help but exclaim at this moment: "Could it be that he raised the money for the sake of counterplotting?" ”

"But with a sum of tens of thousands, who would lend it easily?" Cui Jianxuan frowned and asked, and realized that he had forgotten what Du Shiyi had just said, this was not from one person's account, but from a considerable person, "Could it be that he borrowed one hundred guan here and two hundred guan there?" Could it be to ...... to those cantonment soldiers?"

Du Shiyi shook his head without waiting for Cui Jianxuan to finish speaking: "On the contrary, he borrowed such a large amount from as many as hundreds of people, and then used it to fund those camp soldiers in a big way, so he won the trust of people, and that night in the name of the so-called holy decree, he slashed from Jingfeng Gate and entered the Taiji Palace." ”

It was only at this time that Du Siwen asked again: "Since you asked me, you should have checked these people?" ”

"Yes, I have checked, it is a rich family in Chang'an City, many of them are in the east and west of the city to open a shop and cabinet shop, in the past, when the saint has not canceled the capital of the world's public party, many of them are money grabbers, to make a living by putting money for profit."

"That's right." Du Siwen smiled slightly, and handed the paper scroll back to Du Shiyi, "No wonder, some of the names on it are so familiar, it turns out that there are also money catchers from Jingzhao Mansion." So, when you see me today, you should ask for this verse? ”

"The so-called accomplices who were indiscriminately confessed by the cantonment soldiers before, Song Kaifu repeatedly verified that they were purely false, so they have all been released, and this account book was searched from the mezzanine of a brocade robe when Song Kaifu once again asked people to count Quan Chubi's family property. And when I asked one of them to go to one of them with the account books to verify, he insisted that there was no such thing as a fake loan, and took out all the loan notes and counted them with me. That's why I'm suspicious. If you are innocent, you should not be; But it is not appropriate to be indulgent. ”

"Very good, not lenient, not strict, this is the way of Zhongping." Du Siwen smiled suddenly, but immediately left Du Shiyi and Cui Jianxuan Du Thirteen Niang, walked to the bridge, stretched out his hand to summon a little boy and commanded a few words, and then turned around and walked back slowly, "That money catcher in Jingzhao Mansion has visited me twice, and I summoned him to ask you personally, so it's better than me talking in vain." ”

Seeing that Cui Jianxuan was taken aback, but the Du family brothers and sisters were as usual, Du Siwen explained to Cui Jianxuan with a smile: "Eleven Lang, seeing is believing, hearing is false, and when you become an official, you must also keep this in mind." There is no need to talk about martial arts, and it is absolutely necessary to listen to and believe partially."

After Du Siwen left Du Shiyi for lunch, a servant who went to Chang'an City came with the person he wanted to meet. Luo Shengcairen, the former money catcher of the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion, is as his name suggests, his face is decently dressed, and although he is forty miles away, he has a pair of black and bright eyes. However, when he saw Du Shiyi, he was still inevitably changed, even if he hurriedly covered it up, whether it was Du Siwen or Cui Jianxuan Du Sanniang and his wife, they all noticed it for the first time.

Luo Shengcai knew that he had just fallen into the eyes of people, and when he saw that Du Siwen was really looking at himself with scrutinizing eyes, he had already received the news, and he turned his heart sideways, so Suo Xìng bent his legs and knelt down: "Jing Zhaogong saw the summons this time, since Du Shiyi was present, I knew that it must be for the sake of Quan Chubi's fake loan." To tell the truth, since his accident, the various consignment shops and cabinets in Chang'an City that had been falsely loaned to him, and even money catchers like me, most of them have lent coupons to a fire and burned Yu Jing, and the right to be bitten by a dog is better than being involved in such a big case of rebellion. ”

"It was Song Kaifu who found out, and I was just ordered to verify. Since you are honest and pleading, you might as well make it clear. But if it is really excusable, Song Kaifu, I will tell the truth, and I will never rashly add guilt to Yuer. ”

Now that he has admitted it, Luo Shengcai is naturally betting on Du Shiyi's attitude. So when he heard this, he turned his heart sideways, and then he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Du Shizhi doesn't believe it, that Quan Chubi made fake loans to various families in the name of preparing a dowry for his daughter." The right family is an official eunuch, and there are a lot of real estate in Jingzhao and Henan, as a pledge, we think it is profitable, one hundred and eighty times is naturally not a problem, a total of more than 100 people pretend to loan to him, but who knows that he is so bold and now the loss of money is second, if we also help him to rebel, then it is not a great wrong? I implore Du Shi's body to sympathize with us, and tell Song Kaifu that there is no such thing, and we will definitely report to each other."

Song Jing acted, and the people who had no shame in their hearts naturally cheered, but they were really afraid of death like those who had ghosts in their hearts, but they couldn't be moved by the fact that they took the mountains of gold and silver to ask for them

"Are all the borrowed coupons really burned?" Seeing Luo Shengcai nodding again and again, Du Shiyi smiled and said, "If this is the case, you will not be able to get rid of the Yu system, this fake loan due to marriage has become a one-sided word, and if the loan is retained, Song Kaifu will know everything, but will never wronged you."

"Ahh

Luo Shengcai was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Du Shiyi get up from his seat, he arched his hand to Du Siwen, as if he was about to leave, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "I don't dare to guarantee others, borrow coupons...... I still have the borrowing coupon written by Quan Chubi himself"

"Good"

Du Shiyi stared at Luo Shengcai intently, and said word by word: "You take me to meet the rest of the lenders on the list." I can use my family's name and official reputation as a guarantee, as long as you and others tell the truth and borrow the coupons correctly, in front of Song Kaifu, I will definitely report it according to the truth and wait for you to make a statement."
