Chapter 295 True and false contract of betrayal

Mr. Xu followed with confidence.

  Although the deed of sale in his hand is fake, it has been registered with the government. He has always done things carefully. Besides, the prefect of the government knows him and even went to his house for a drink a few days ago. .

  He doesn't need to say anything about some trivial matters. Once he stops there, the prefect will naturally know how to judge it.

  Several people entered the lobby. The prefect was sitting on top, and the governor was sitting next to him.

  None of the spectators, including Su Chen, could enter the lobby and could only stand at the door.

  Mr. Xu has the reputation of being a scholar and does not need to kneel. Gu Fei and Lanzhi both knelt down.

  The prefect was shocked, "Who are you kneeling down and why are you playing drums?"

  Gu Fei said, "Gu Fei, a commoner girl, was originally from Xiqin County.

  Her family had a maid, Lanzhi." She was so beautiful that people came to propose marriage and wanted to take her as a concubine. "

  The maid refused, so the girl rejected Mr. Xu. Who knew that Mr. Xu brought someone to the door today, but he said that he had bought the maid and took out a gift. Zhang wanted to rob her of the forged deed of betrayal, so she had no choice but to ask your Majesty to make the decision."

  After Gu Fei finished speaking, Mr. Xu smiled at the magistrate above and said, "Sir, this girl is talking nonsense, this Lanzhi. It turned out that she was not her maid, but her distant cousin. Lanzhi wanted to marry me as her concubine, so she voluntarily signed the contract.

  "Who knew this girl wouldn't allow it, so she forged the contract and slandered me."

  After hearing this, the prefect glanced at me. He glanced at Mr. Xu who was standing. With Mr. Xu's character and family background, even if he was to be a concubine, he wouldn't believe it if the young lady was unwilling to marry him.

  Only then did the people eating melon outside the door realize that they were fighting for a maidservant.

  The magistrate pondered for a moment and asked: "Is Mr. Xu telling the truth?"

  Lanzhi knelt down, not daring to raise her head, "Sir, no, I just met Mr. Xu twice by chance, and he sent someone to propose marriage. , I didn't want to, so he forged a contract to rob her, and asked the master to make the decision for the little girl."

  The magistrate looked at Mr. Xu and gave him a look, "What do you have to say?"

  Mr. Xu smiled lightly. Lanzhi was just coerced by the Gu family. I have a contract of prostitution here. Once you see it, you will know that what I told is the truth."

  Lanzhi knelt on the ground, shaking with anger.

  The prefect raised his hand and said, "Send the deed of betrayal."

  Mr. Xu took out the deed of betrayal, and the Yamen officer took it and presented it to the prefect. The prefect looked at it and saw that the date was yesterday. He knew in his heart that Mr. Xu was up to something, but still Pretending to be on business, "Go and check the archives to see if this deed of betrayal is real."

  After saying that, he said to Gu Fei: "Send the deed of betrayal in your hand as well."

  Gu Fei handed the deed of betrayal to the Yamen, and the magistrate was nonchalant. I glanced at it, but who knew I was shocked when I saw it.

  The deed clearly states, "This is Mulanzhi, the daughter of Pingyang Marquis. She was fifteen years old and broke into the Jiaofang Department to work as a female actress because her father and brother were convicted. She is now resold to Gu Fei as a maid for 1,800 taels of silver. Because she is the daughter of a prisoner, she must be a slave for life and cannot leave her country. Now the money has been cleared, and the name is written as evidence. "

  The date is also written on the back, and the fingerprint and the official seal are stamped.

  The prefect looked at Lanzhi with a complicated expression. It turned out that she was the daughter of Marquis Pingyang. No wonder she was so beautiful.

  It seems that Mr. Xu doesn't know her identity. There is no way that the daughter of Marquis Pingyang is only worth ten taels of silver.
