Chapter 73: Court

About half an hour later, the police brought Monkey and Hu Laoliu in.

After the two came in, Jiang Ning could feel their eyes quickly passing over her, and then saw the two bowing.

"I, the humble Hu Laoliu, have seen Lord Song!"

"I, the humble Hou Zehua, have seen Lord Song!"

Song Ming looked at the two men calmly, while Tang Shuli's eyes were about to burst into fire.

It was these two bastards who colluded with each other and deceived Zhao Qiang!

If it weren't for the occasion, Tang Shuli really wanted to take the inkstone at hand and smash them on the head.

"Hou Zehua, Hu Laoliu, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Song Ming asked.

"Your Excellency, I don't know. But well..." Monkey grinned, looking obedient: "If your Excellency has anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know and promise to cooperate."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced at Monkey with a cold look in her eyes.

This kind of smiling but dagger-hiding fellow should not have been allowed to go back and tell Hu Laoliu, he should have been stabbed to death!

Just thinking about this, the back of her hand was touched again, needless to say, it was Liu Mingan.

Turning around, Jiang Ning saw Liu Mingan looking at her solemnly, with worry and pity intertwined in his eyes, and he mouthed to her:

"Don't be like this." He said.

Jiang Ning retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and listened quietly to Song Ming's questioning.

"Hou Zehua? Your nickname is Monkey, right?" Song Ming said.

"Yes, I got this nickname because my last name is Hou and I'm thin." Monkey answered honestly.

"Do you know the girl next to you?" Song Ming asked again.

Monkey turned his head and pretended to look Jiang Ning up and down: "Yes, the casino lady, hahahaha..."

"Have you ever had a grudge?"

Monkey denied it flatly: "No!"

Song Ming did not comment and asked Hu Laoliu who was standing aside: "What about you, Boss Hu? Have you ever had a grudge with this girl?"

Hu Laoliu bowed and said: "My Lord, I am a decent person and never make enemies with others."

When Jiang Ning heard this, she suddenly remembered the corrupt official who had embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan in her previous life. The voice code of the advanced safe in his home was: self-denial and serving the public, governing for the people.

Hu Laoliu might be able to become his sworn brother, Jiang Ning thought.

Tang Shuli, who was standing by, was also furious when he heard this, but he could do nothing but glare at Hu Laoliu.

Damn, this bastard is so shameless!

Tang Shuli cursed in his heart, and even his handwriting was a little more sloppy than usual.

"Miss Jiang Ning said that she went to the Jinyufang on the 15th of this month and played dice with you, and made you lose more than 100 taels of silver. Boss Hu, don't you mind at all?" Song Ming asked again.

Hu Laoliu and Monkey only then knew that this woman was called "Jiang Ning".

"No!" Hu Laoliu said frankly: "It's a casino, winning and losing is normal, how could I take such a trivial matter to heart. Besides, I am so happy to be able to fight with a master like Miss Jiang Ning, how could I mind a few dollars?"

Song Ming laughed and praised half-seriously: "Boss Hu is so courageous and has such a broad mind. No wonder Jinyufang has been the only one in Lingshan Town for so many years." "

Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am just doing my job based on the principle of 'honest business and doing good to others'." Hu Laoliu replied leisurely.

Song Ming looked at the old fox in front of him, sneered and asked: "What an honest business, doing good to others! Why did Boss Hu design to make Zhao Qiang owe a gambling debt?"

Hu Laoliu raised his head suddenly, his face full of astonishment: "Why do you say that, sir? Coach Zhao owed a gambling debt to Jinyufang in full view of the public. There were so many people that night, sir, you can just grab one and ask him and you will know that it was all because of Coach Zhao's greed that he owed so much money..."

Hu Laoliu said this, his face full of grievance: "I even changed his debt from 6,650 taels to 100 taels, but I didn't expect that my kindness would not be rewarded. It turned out to be a frame-up by you, sir. Alas... This world really makes kind people feel chilled!"

A dark light flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes. I didn't expect that this Hu Laoliu is also an old actor, he is so good at pretending!

Looking up, the Tang clerk over there couldn't hold his pen steadily, gnashing his teeth and looking at Hu Laoliu, the flesh on his face was trembling.

Song Ming pointed his index finger at his chin and said along with Hu Laoliu's words: "Since Boss Hu is a good man, I won't ask you. Hou Zehua, why did you encourage Zhao Qiang to steal money from Lotus Village?"

Monkey said in panic: "It's unfair, sir! I have never done such a thing!"

Zhao Qiang had been keeping his head down, and he looked at his "good brother" with a complicated expression.

"Oh, didn't you ask Zhao Qiang to steal money from Lotus Village?"

"Lotus Village? I'm not from Lotus Village, and I've never been to Lotus Village. How could I ask Coach Zhao to steal money?" Monkey denied.

Song Ming smiled slightly: "You two don't agree with each other. Zhao Qiang said that he couldn't take out 100 taels of silver. It was you who told him that there was a Liu Mingan in Lotus Village, and his family had 100 taels, and asked Zhao Qiang to steal with courage."

"Unfair! Unfair! It's really a great injustice!" Monkey was full of resentment: "I never said these words, and I don't know Liu Mingan. I don't know why Coach Zhao dragged me into this?"

Zhao Qiang looked at the monkey's sincere performance, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. This is his "good brother".

"Oh? How did Zhao Qiang know that his family was rich? He didn't seem to have been to Lotus Village..." Song Ming said faintly.

Monkey bowed and said, "I don't know about this question, but it seems that this girl is with this young man. At that time, this girl won money in Jinyufang, which was obvious to all. It's not surprising that Coach Zhao has heard about it somewhere."

"Well, it makes sense!" Song Ming nodded, as if he agreed, and then asked, "You just said that you have never been to Lotus Village?"

"Absolutely true!" Monkey said decisively.

Song Ming stopped asking the two people and picked up the shocking wood and slapped it: "Come on, bring He Zhenhu up."

Monkey and Hu Laoliu's faces froze for a moment, and they exchanged glances without saying a word.

Jiang Ning had never heard of this name, but since the surname was "He" and the name contained the character "tiger", she had some guesses in her mind.

Liu Mingan was thinking about why he dragged He Zhenhu into this, when he suddenly felt his hand being tapped twice.

There was no one beside him except Jiang Ning.

Liu Mingan turned around and heard Jiang Ning quickly ask in a very soft voice: "Does He Zhenhu have a nickname called Hu Zi?"

Liu Mingan nodded, but he didn't understand why Jiang Ning asked this.

Jiang Ning, who got a positive answer, quickly connected all the things in her mind. The person who set the fire must be between Monkey and Hu Zi!
