The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 285: The shop tricked the Zhang family (7)

Chapter 285: The shop was obtained and the Zhang family was cheated (7)

Xiao Zhu said with a smile: "Those bosses who were deceived gave them a lot of money. When I came, they said that it was thanks to the girl that they got so many benefits, so they couldn't take the money back. You gave me some."

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment. He had not thought of this, but the people Xiao Zhu was looking for were pretty good. There might be some useful places to look for in the future. So he pushed another fifty taels of silver over: "They deserve the thank you silver, and naturally I can't let go of my share. If they don't accept it, please ask Brother Zhu to use the silver to set up a table. It's my gratitude to them." Thank you so much, so I can ask them for help if I need any help in the future."

Having said this, Xiao Zhu could no longer refuse, but he only accepted thirty taels, and refused to accept the remaining twenty taels. Thirty taels of silver is enough to set up a good table at Huixianju!

When Mo Yan saw this, he took back the twenty taels of silver and left Xiao Zhu at home to eat before letting him go.

Within a few days, the Yamen sent two Yamen servants, saying that it was a fraud case involving the Zhang family and Mo Yan needed to go there.

The shop was acquired legally. Mo Yan knew that this was just a formality, so he comforted the worried Li Zhong and others, and then followed the yamen servant to the yamen.

When Mo Yan arrived, four members of the Zhang family, including Yao Taohua, were already kneeling on the cold ground. Standing beside them were several victims who had been deceived.

Jing Zhaoyin did not make things difficult for Mo Yan and only asked her to explain the process of buying a shop. Mo Yan told him honestly. Of course, he would not talk about the transaction with Zhang Fugui.

Its just that I dont know whether Zhang Fugui suspected Mo Yan of causing trouble, so he let his family escape and be discovered, or whether he wanted to trick others into teasing him, and revealed the deal himself, hoping to make Mo Yan look bad.

How could Mo Yan fulfill his wish and just bite him to death without admitting it. Anyway, Zhang Fugui has no real evidence for this matter. The testimony of other members of the Zhang family does not count at all. However, the Zhang family has committed several crimes. It is normal for the Zhang family to be anxious and want to drag innocent people into trouble.

Furthermore, Mo Yan bought the shop at a normal market price. Without evidence, Jing Zhaoyin could only think that the Zhang family was unwilling to compromise and was trying to tamper with others.

Mo Yan returned home safe and sound, but the Zhang family was not so lucky. In court, Zhang Fugui shouldered all the blame. In order to reduce his guilt, he returned the defrauded victim a total of 24,000 taels of silver.

That Zhang Fugui was also a capable man. In the courtroom, he held his one-year-old grandson and kowtowed to the perpetrators to admit his mistake. He only hoped that they could forgive his temporary confusion and spare his life.

The people involved saw that he was really pitiful for his age, and thought that they also had such a big grandson, and now that the money had been recovered, they didn't think about it further, and they just regarded it as a good deed.

In the end, Zhang Fugui was beaten thirty times and was only sentenced to ten years in prison without being exiled. As for the other members of the Zhang family, they were given a few beatings and then released because they did not report what they knew.

Mo Yan is quite satisfied with this result. Although she looked down upon the Zhang family, she didn't have any deep grudge against them. Now that they have received the punishment they deserve, they should not come out to harm others again in the future.

In order to open the shop as soon as possible, Mo Yan asked Li Zhong to continue to focus on land reclamation, while he went back and forth from the shop's house. In addition to hiring people to decorate the shop, we also need to find a suitable warehouse. Otherwise, how will we get the food in the space?

The pavement area is relatively large, with the front hall and back hall adding up to more than 80 square meters. Previously, the front hall was used by the Zhang family to sell rice grains, and the back hall was a warehouse for temporarily storing grain, and there was also a small kitchen for cooking food.
