Chapter 996 Conspiracy

Seeing her say this, Li Zheng didn't force her anymore. He told her that there were snacks and candies in the main room and asked her to eat them. After getting a response, he turned around and started to deal with the people kneeling on the ground.

Li Zheng sighed and said, "I understand what you said just now. You come to me, but I can't do anything about it. Get up first, I really don't have that much ability."

Yang shi was still kneeling, with no plans to get up, and said anxiously, "Uncle Tang, they can't even write their own names, how could they use the family's house and fields as security, write down an IOU, and borrow fifty taels from someone? money, this is absolutely impossible."

"This matter is a conspiracy, and the name is not written by them at all. That IOU is really invalid. Please help me, let the people in the government talk about it, and don't let us pay back the fifty taels of silver. already."

Murong Lingran, who was about to go to the main room, paused when she heard the words. Can't write her name? IOU?

Could it be that their children were tricked into writing an IOU in the city because they were illiterate? He even mortgaged his house and fields, and would take away the house and fields if he didn’t pay?

Li Zheng said: "Didn't you just say that they pressed their handprints, and the officials in the government also checked them. Is that their handprints? If you don't know how to write, an IOU with a handprint is also valid."

Zhuang Qinglu hesitated for a moment, and then explained: "Although they pressed the handprint, it was definitely not pressed by them voluntarily. My children are illiterate. If they knew what was written on it, it would never be possible to press it. of."

"They also said that they have never seen the fifty taels of silver mentioned on the IOU. Although our food stalls in the city don't earn as much as those big restaurants, we can earn some every day. money."

"They are also very sensible. Even if I give them money every two or three days, they will keep them all, and they will not use any coins. , are still under their bedboards. If they are short of money, they will definitely move the money first. Although it is not much, it adds up to two or three taels of silver. "

Li Zheng sighed and said, "But they have no evidence to say that others forced them, after all, their hands are on them. You said just now that a diner who often goes to your stall for dinner asked them to press it, someone from the government. I also looked for him, and he insisted that he gave the money, and no one else saw it when the fingerprints were pressed, and there was no evidence to prove that they were forced."

"Uncle Tang, I beg you, please help us. That man was very shrewd. He was afraid that we would find trouble with him, so he resold the IOU to the pawnshop at a low price. Now the pawnshop is in charge of collecting the debt. The pawnshop agreed. We said that we could be given three days. Now is the last day. If we don’t pay the fifty taels of silver today, we will go to the government tomorrow with an IOU to forcibly transfer our house and land. We are truly homeless.”

Li Zheng said: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help it. Although I know a few people from the government, they are all related to taxation or household registration, but none of them are related to your affairs. Know. And even if you know, others may not have such great ability. If you can open pawnshops in the city, you think they are ordinary people, and just any official sent to arrest the fast yamen can talk about them? Fifty Two silver coins are not a small amount."
