Chapter 282 I Want to Be a Villain 72
The Madam of Zuiyue Tower is even more amazing.
She insisted that Qian Feng had confessed before, so she was asked to go to the head of the Qian family to get the money, and it was for this reason that the official took him into custody. Since he had confessed before, there was no point in cheating now.
Qian Feng repeatedly denied it. He was on the verge of collapse. The reason why those people were asked to go to Qian's house to get money earlier was because they thought that the compensation they asked for was only the two thousand taels on the IOU.
He was beaten and was in agony. He thought that if the worst happened, he would use money to eliminate the trouble, and then he was taken out of Qian's house. He did not admit guilt!
He didn't even expect that the other party's claim could be as high as 20,000 taels! This number is too ridiculous.
He questioned that Zuiyuelou was blackmailing him!
For example, the compensation payment in Articles 2 and 3 is nonsense at first glance.
"Nonsense?"
The Madam waved her hand, and the girl Qing Huan who was lying next to Qian Feng when she was found was brought up.
"Tell me, sir, what happened to that IOU? Where did it come from?"
Qing Huan: "Ten of us went to a banquet last night, and Master Qian only picked me. He said that as long as I serve you well, he would give me a big reward. I have heard this kind of thing so many times that I naturally expressed doubts. . So Master Qian wrote me an IOU, and then told me... So this IOU was earned by my own ability, and it was the reward he gave me. It is written in black and white, and cannot be denied!"
Qian Feng was very excited and scolded Qing Huan for being shameless... What the hell has he become? What else can be done? These people are indeed liars and robbers!
Qian Feng was really arrogant. When the Madam spoke again, she immediately suppressed his voice.
"Qing Huan did not lie. When I arrived with the three officials, we saw Qing Huan lying in the arms of Master Qian. Even the banknotes were taken out from Qing Huan's bra."
The official came up and gave evidence.
"As for the third item, compensation for our girls..." The Madam snorted. Indeed, she exaggerated when she said five thousand taels. She had counted that the girls' personal losses were about three hundred taels each. The total of ten people is less than 3,000 taels.
After all, in their line of work, the main thing is to be gorgeous and eye-catching. Therefore, although each one is shining with gold, most of those gold objects are hollow, so the loss is not as big as it seems.
But the attitude of the Qian family was so bad, why should she be polite, so she directly quoted a higher price of two thousand taels.
So what if you doubt it? Anyway, everything is gone, so what if she is talking nonsense about something that has no proof?
"When our girl came out of Zuiyue Tower today, she walked along Zhengmen Street. How many people stopped and watched at that time. Who didn't see what kind of pomp our girls walked out? Of those gold, silver and jewelry, which one is a bargain? If you don’t admit it, I will go to the streets and find hundreds of witnesses right away!”
Facing the bustard's spittle falling like rain, Qian Feng was so confused that he couldn't explain clearly.
"If you continue to push the blame, we will have to suspect that your Qian family is relying on Qian Dingbao to act as a swindler. This has pissed me off. Let's see if I don't go directly to Qian Dingbao's superior yamen to sue! I want to see, he How strong is your strength!"
Just after hearing this, Mrs. Qian became so angry that she fell down.
After diagnosis and treatment, the doctor said she had suffered a stroke.
An hour later, Mrs. Qian woke up, but her condition was much more serious than last time.
Although her eyes were clear, her hands were shaking and she couldn't speak.
This case still needs to be tried.
But the Qian family has no master to take charge of the overall situation.
In this case, is there any need to say the direction of this case?
Compared with the other side, everyone in Zuiyue Tower said that they were knocked unconscious not long after arriving in the other courtyard. This was also confirmed by the doctor.
Two maids even testified that they were knocked unconscious directly by the Qian family's servants...
The only defense the Qian family could make was that there were only two slaves in the other courtyard of his family.
"Which two slaves? Where are they?"
This question was raised, but Qian's family and Qian Feng couldn't answer it. From beginning to end, they never saw those two servants.
"You ran away, right? Was it your order? But no matter whether it was or not, it's still your family's responsibility!"
"..."
"Haha, who in the entire provincial capital knows about your ridiculous story about the eldest young master of the Qian family? A while ago, he fell into a coma because of a woman, and later demoted his wife as a maid. Now, it's no surprise that I, Miss Zuiyuelou, has been comatose and committed evil!"
Indeed, because the Qian family had committed multiple crimes such as "murder and arson" and had more than one lawsuit against them, no one in the hall had any sympathy for them.
Soon, the case became unsuspicious because of "all the witnesses and material evidence", and the government decided that the Qian family must pay back the money to Zuiyuelou...
However, the government judged Zuiyuelou to be "arrogant" and took the whole amount, only asking for 20,000 taels... At Zuiyuelou's strong request, the government detained Young Master Qian and asked the Qian family that they had to A compensation of 10,000 taels must be handed over within three days.
Two days later, Qian Dingbao, the uncle of the Qian family, finally hurried back after taking official leave. But after he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how bad the situation at home was.
He couldn't return home for a while.
Outside the doors of the Qian family's mansion, the three floors inside and outside were full of people. They are all looking for debts from the master of the Qian family.
Qian Dingbao is not stupid, so he naturally knows not to show up rashly.
He waited until late at night, then found an opportunity to get a long ladder, and found someone to return home.
But as soon as he climbed down from the wall, he was punched in the face and screamed on the ground.
The one who beat him was actually the second master.
The second master rushed home after hearing about the accident yesterday.
The second master was furious and believed that all the troubles in the house were caused by his eldest brother's incompetence in raising his children. He gave birth to two rebellious sons, which dragged down the whole family. He said that the people in their house also have to live, and they will never bear the responsibility together with the eldest brother.
After hearing that the second house was going to be separated, Qian Dingbao was also desperate, and as the head of the family, he directly ordered all the owners of the second house to be detained. I heard that the family had incurred a debt of nearly ten thousand taels in order to redeem their eldest son. Wouldn't it be worse to have a family separation at this time? He doesn't allow that to happen.
Qian Dingbao immediately began to understand the situation of the group of people outside his home.
It turned out that after learning that the Qian family had to pay 20,000 taels due to a lawsuit in the provincial capital, that Mrs. Qian had suffered a stroke and collapsed, and that the second wife of the Qian family was going to be separated, many people became anxious, fearing that they would suffer a loss.
For example, those who lend money for profit. It was originally agreed that the loan of one thousand taels of silver would only be borrowed for one day, but now it is the third day. Afraid that the money would be wasted, they brought a group of thugs to the door to collect the debt.
For example, Daoshang helped find Taoist priests before. It was agreed that they would be responsible for sending out people to look for it, and payment would be settled every five days. It has been five days now, but the Qian family still hasn't given them one tael of silver, so this group of people, more than a dozen people, surrounded the Qian family.
Next is the group of people from Liangshan Village. If the Qian family loses money to the provincial capital, what will they do? Their homes were burned down! The Yancheng Yamen did not dare to try that case. Will he really be hanged at Qian's house by then? So while the Qian family still has a bottom line, they have to seek justice...
Just like that, three groups of people, numbering in the hundreds, surrounded the Qian family. If you have the ability, the Qian family will never open the door.
