Chapter 694: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (48)
One of them left Yuening City with a huge sum of money.
Another person at the money shop was told that the things in the private vault had been taken away last night.
"How is that possible!" Liang Huaixin obviously didn't believe these things, so he took out the envelope containing the contract from his arms.
But just after he took out the contract, he found that it had been replaced by someone else, and the person who replaced it was the same white paper that he used to exchange for Meng A Luo's pass.
Even the small plum blossom pattern on the upper right corner of the paper is exactly the same.
The yamen runner looked at the "white paper" that Liang Huaixin took out from his arms, and his first feeling was that this guy was lying.
Just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by the chief of the yamen runners. He said, "Didn't you say you had the key to your private vault? Take it out and let the shopkeeper check it again."
"Yes, yes, I have the key." Liang Huaixin took out the key.
just
"This key is made of clay." The shopkeeper took the key and examined it for a moment before saying, "First, it is molded and then fired. Then, it is colored with a copper glaze and fired a second time. This kind of key can be mistaken for a real one.
But this key can only be used as a decoration, because it cannot withstand the force and will break if the lock is not opened."
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Liang Huaixin's face suddenly turned pale.
The bailiffs also understood the truth of the matter and were about to take Liang Huaixin away.
Liang Huaixin struggled and shouted: "It must be Meng A Luo who did this. Go find her! Once I find her, I can get the money. Believe me!"
The bailiffs ignored his shouting.
At this time, Meng A Luo was sitting in a carriage and heading towards an unknown distance.
She was filled with joy as she took the huge sum of money.
Meng A Luo plans to leave this troubled place and find a quiet place to retire and start a new life.
As for Liang Huaixin, she no longer wanted to know what would happen to him! Anyway, with the Xiao family around, his life would definitely not be easy.
As they got farther and farther away from Yuening City, a relieved smile appeared on Meng A Luo's face, because there was a new life full of hope ahead.
When Liang Huaixin was about to be taken to the yamen, yamen runners from another prefecture were waiting there, ready to "hand him over" to them.
"Hand him over to us! He forged our pass, so we should deal with him." The person who spoke also took out a black cloth bag and prepared to put it on Liang Huaixin's head.
The yamen runners of Yue Ningcheng originally wanted to refuse, but then they saw the yamen's legal advisor waving at them, so they no longer refused and handed Liang Huaixin over.
After the group of people gained control of Liang Huaixin, they stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth to prevent him from making any sound, and then covered his head with the black cloth bag, obscuring Liang Huaixin's face.
Then, regardless of his struggles, he was pulled into a carriage.
After the carriage drove away, the yamen runners said to their master: "Why did you let this fat sheep go? Although he doesn't have much money, he seems to be the young master of the Liang family! We can squeeze some money out of him."
"He dares to take any money!" the lawyer said unhappily, "Can't you see? Someone just doesn't want anyone to rescue him, so they asked the bailiffs from other cities to take him away.
The lightest punishment for forging documents is three years of imprisonment! Once you are released from prison, you will naturally not be eligible to take the imperial examinations. "
At this point, the lawyer took out a silver bag from his bosom and said, "Take it and share it with your brothers! The master said to keep your mouth shut. No matter who comes to ask, just say they haven't seen him."
"Yes!" the bailiff responded.
"Hongdou, your calligraphy today is pretty good." Xiao Chenliang praised Xu Hongdou as he looked at her calligraphy today, "My Hongdou learns everything really fast!"
Xu Hongdou felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She blushed and lowered her head and said, "Qiao Mu, you're praising me too much. I still need to practice more."
Xiao Chenliang was smiling and was about to ask someone to send over some snacks, but before he could open his mouth, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, I have something important to report." It was A-Mo's voice.
"Come in!" Xiao Chenliang said to the door.
As soon as Amo entered the room, he saw Xu Hongdou and felt a little embarrassed because he didn't know if he could say these words in front of her.
Xu Hongdou saw Ah Mo's dilemma and offered, "Then you guys chat first, I'll leave for a while!"
But before he could take a step forward, Xiao Chenliang stopped him and said, "There is nothing that cannot be told to others, and I have nothing to hide from you! Ah Mo, tell me! What is going on?"
"Liang Huaixin was arrested for forging documents!" A Mo thought about it and decided to hide some details, such as the second group of yamen runners were hired by them, and Meng A Luo was arranged by them.
"Forgery of documents?" Xu Hongdou was slightly stunned. She often read some books about law during this period, so, "It seems that this will cost three years of detention!"
Xiao Chenliang touched her head and said, "Hongdou really knows everything!"
"Ah! Brother Qiaomu! You've almost turned me into a fool." Xu Hongdou complained.
