Ouyang Mingyu said: "Mrs.
Yan, why do you have to be so aggressive?
I ordered someone to deliver a letter to Mr.
Yan, but it has nothing to do with privacy, but for business matters."
Mrs.
Chen said: "My Yan family and Xie family have no business dealings."
Ouyang Mingyu said: "My Xie family was framed for bribery.
I thought this matter was not only related to the Xie family.
If this crime is confirmed, how will all the merchants who donated money behave in the future?"
Mrs.
Chen stopped, looked at her and said sarcastically: "Mrs.
Xie, please forgive me: you should be delivering letters to others, not my master.
If you had not betrayed my master back then, even if I was jealous, I would still be jealous.
There is nothing to say; but you have betrayed my master first, why do you have the nerve to ask him to come forward to share your worries?
Ouyang Mingyu was so arrogant back then that he dumped countless young talents, how could he become so undignified?"
Ouyang Mingyu endured his anger and said: "You and I are both wives and mothers.
When a disaster strikes, how can we be so responsible when we care about our face?
If you want to humiliate me, I will suffer."
Mrs.
Chen said coldly: "I don't want to humiliate you.
All I ask is that you don't drag my master into it.
We are all married and have a career, so we should act with dignity.
I'm afraid of you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ouyang Mingyu looked at her back with cold eyes.
The next day, Mr.
Wang held a court hearing at the Jinxiu Hall government office.
One is to examine the collusion between the Xie family and Xia Zhizao.
Second, examine the identity of layman Li and see if he is really the teacher Guo Zhinu.
This was considered a semi-public trial.
Except for the common people who were not allowed to enter, the brocade merchants gathered in the Jinxiu Hall like a brocade weaving meeting.
Fang Chu was also summoned to the scene, waiting for questioning.
As soon as he entered.
It attracted a lot of attention.
Master Zeng said: "Young Master Fang can do such a thing and still come forward confidently.
He really doesn't know how to write the word shame."
Fang Chu smiled and said: "Compared to Master Zeng, Fang is far behind in terms of rewards.
Master Zeng is ungrateful and thought that if Guo Zhinu is convicted and several important families are implicated, the Zeng family will take advantage of the opportunity to come out on top.
They will come out on top.
Right?"
I’m afraid your efforts will be in vain.
With the Zeng family’s behavior, it’s nothing to you to burn bridges if they dare to cross rivers with you.
Repaying kindness with enmity is your specialty.”
Master Zeng shouted angrily: "How dare you spit on others?"
Fang Chu said contemptuously: "Do you still need me to spray you?

You are already filthy."
Finished.
He walked into the official hall with his head held high.
Master Zeng looked extremely embarrassed.
Everyone whispered, looking at Master Zeng with shameless eyes, while the other party was confused at first.
In the hall, Xie Yinyue and Xie Mingli were already kneeling.
Fang Chu came up.
The Xie family father and daughter all looked at him eagerly.
Xie Yinyue's eyes were particularly hateful because she couldn't suppress her excitement.
His body trembled slightly.
Fang Chu didn't even look at them, he went straight forward and knelt down to pay homage to Lord Wang.
Mr.
Wang asked: "Fang Chu, I want to ask you: Xie Yinyue said that you came up with the idea of donating money for her.
Is this true?"
Fang Chu said: "It is indeed Xiaomin's idea."
He actually admitted it frankly Xie Yinyue swayed, a little surprised.
She thought he would deny it Mr.
Wang said: "You are bold and unruly.
Do you know your crime?"
Fang Chu said: "What crime is there?
Which law of Dajing is violated by this move?"
Mr.
Wang's face sank and he said: "You used donations to hide the truth, bribe Xia Zhizao, and seek benefits for the Xie family.
Isn't it a felony?"
Fang Chu said: "If the adults say this, the common people will not accept it."
Mr.
Wang said: "What other excuse do you have?"
Fang Chu said: "If your Excellency decides this, then all the brocade merchants who have donated money recently should be taken down and punished."
Mr.
Wang re-photographed the Gavel and shouted: "It's nonsense, how can the two be compared?"
Fang Chu said in a deep voice: "How can we not compare the donations made on that day with all the donations being used for the victims instead of being sent to the Zhizhi Mansion?
How can we judge it as a bribe?"
Mr.
Wang said: "You are looking for an excuse for Xia Jieyi's younger brother to embezzle the court's disaster relief funds."
Fang Chu patiently said: "Sir, we are businessmen, not court officials.
We only know how to make donations.
As for how much of the disaster relief funds are embezzled and misappropriated by officials after they are received by officials, or whether all of them are used for disaster relief, it is beyond our control.
Then It's North Korea It is the responsibility of the court.
For example, for this disaster relief, your Excellency has already received nearly three million yuan.
If your Excellency did not inspect Jiangnan according to the order, I don’t know how many people would have been pocketed by our merchants.
Pass" Lord Wang was speechless.
Fang Chu continued to talk: "To be honest with you, your Excellency, our Fang family also donated 100,000 silver during the drought in Hejian Prefecture, and we also used a pseudonym.
But even Xia Zhizao didn't know this.
Your Excellency said that we Whether it was to please Xia Zhizao or out of compassion, the money was really used for the victims that time, and all the expenses were recorded in the account books of Hejian Mansion.
“When my grandfather was still alive, he warned the common people over and over again: Don’t be manipulated by money and do whatever it takes to gain benefits, which will eventually lead to destruction.

“If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.
"The interests of our brocade weaving family are closely related to the common people.
For many years, we have donated money for disaster relief and built roads and bridges.
In addition to being controlled by the local officials and needing to rely on them, it is also because we sincerely want to do good deeds and accumulate merit so as not to be suffocated by the smell of copper.
Conscience, suffer retribution.”
After listening to these sincere words, Mr.
Wang's expression softened a lot.
However, he did not let Fang Chu go, and pointed out sharply: "I accuse the Xie family of colluding with Xia Zhizao.
The key is that Xia Zhizao awarded a large number of orders to the Xie family afterwards, and the Xie family was no longer an imperial merchant at that time."
Fang Chu asked calmly: "That day on the high platform, sir, were you unhappy when you heard that the major brocade merchants did not donate?"
Mr.
Wang said: "I am indeed displeased."
Fang Chu said: "Later, everyone explained the reason and donated a large amount of money.
Has your Excellency changed your impression of them?
Will you report this matter to the court?"
Lord Wang nodded slightly.
Fang Chu added: "When the new weaving officer takes office, the palace and imperial official orders will not be awarded to these brocade merchants who have the strength and donated money for disaster relief, or will they be awarded to brocade merchants who have nothing to lose?"
Mr.
Wang already understood what he meant.
In such a severe disaster, fortunately, major brocade merchants set up soup kitchens and provided food and clothing, so that all the victims were properly accommodated.
They also donated huge sums of money so that the government could arrange for post-disaster reconstruction and river repairs.
All these have reduced many difficulties for him as an imperial envoy, and all tasks have gone smoothly.
Naturally, he wants to commend them on behalf of the imperial court.
He looked at Fang Chu and couldn't help but admire him.
This does not mean that he thinks that the Xie family is innocent.
The Xie family originally provided disaster relief to Hejian Mansion just to show their goodwill to Xia Zhizao, and they did have selfish motives.
However, Fang Chu made good use of the bribe and used it on the victims, killing two birds with one stone and achieving today's results.
This man has great talent, but it is a pity that he devoted himself to business.
At this time, the manager of the Fang family brought a large package of physical evidence and presented it to the court.
I originally wanted to add more updates today, but Yuanye didn't know that the plot was tense recently and I should update more every day.
However, Yuanye is stupid, slow to respond, and slow to write.
I will work hard when I finish this busy period.
Thank you all for your support.
To be continued. 4209051:
