Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 941
"After all these matters are dealt with, I always feel that our family seems to have fallen into a trap arranged by others. Many villagers know my father's personality. How could he go to Taohua Pavilion to do something like that? It's impossible for him to go to a gambling house in such a place. Even if he loses money, why would he go to a bank to borrow money?" Gu Ang analyzed one by one.

Hearing what he said, some people who knew the Gu family said, "Guan Wai and Mrs. Gu are very affectionate. They really don't seem like people who would go to a land of smoke and willows."

"I still remember that Li San from Dongtou Street was a gambler. He lost all his family property and planned to sell his son and daughter. The clerk saw that the two children were pitiful and helped him pay off his gambling debt. He also said that gambling was harmful to people and wanted him to Don’t gamble again in the future.”

"Gu Yuanwai hates gambling. How could he gamble?"

Everyone said something to each other, and the more they talked, the more they felt that this matter was indeed strange.

Guan Qingshan's face darkened and he asked Wei Zhong: "Your father is dead and your family is bankrupt. What does this have to do with the government and me? Isn't it unjust for me to be sued by you?"

"You bitch, you are not unjust at all. You wanted to take advantage of my Gu family's wealth, so you set up a scheme to kill my father first, and then take away those brands. In order to prevent me from having money to redeem those brands, you let the gambler The bank and the bank went to my house to collect debts, and the IOUs they took were completely fake!" Gu Ang said angrily.

"Mr. Gu, you can't wrongly accuse me like this."

"You ruined my family and I will fight you to the death!"

Wei Zhong picked up the gavel tree and slapped it hard. The hall immediately fell silent. He looked at Gu Ang, "You said that Governor Guan planned to frame your Gu family and wanted to steal your Gu family's wealth. Do you have any evidence?"

"This……"

"If there is no evidence, then I will punish you for slandering the imperial official!"

"I have!" Gu Ang straightened his back, "A great uncle who was close to my father wanted to bid for a restaurant sign. Before anyone could withdraw the sign, Master Wan's people came to him and asked him to make preparations. The money was said to be available in two days. He knew there was something fishy in it, but he didn't think much about it. But he didn't expect that two days later, my father died, and what he returned was the brand name of my restaurant. Through this incident, the government They are manipulating the bidding signs to make a profit, but if no one returns the sign, they cannot make a profit, and then someone needs to die accidentally."

"Master Wei can go investigate. Many of our merchants here died in accidents, not normal deaths."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but wipe Gu Ang's cold sweat when he heard this, "He actually found out the truth."

But now that we know it, we should know how powerful Guan Qingshan's skills are. He even impulsively filed a complaint.

"Obviously Guan Qingshan didn't expect that Gu Ang knew so much, and he would not let him live any longer." Yan Mu said.

At this time, Wei Zhong glanced at Guan Qingshan and asked: "Guan County Sheriff, what do you say to this?"

"Master Wei, I really don't know what to say. Why don't you invite the uncle of the Gu family to come to the lobby, and I'll call Master Wan to come over and they can confront each other in the lobby?"

Wei Zhong nodded, "That's fine."

Gu Ang felt that Wei Zhong was really upright, so he told who the uncle was, and the official went to invite him.About half an hour later, Master Wan came, and so did the uncle.

This Shibo was a local businessman in Liangshan County. He looked very unhappy. When he came to the hall, he glared at Gu Ang, obviously complaining that Gu Ang had betrayed him.

When Master Wan came to the hall, he shouted a few times and then said: "Liangshan County is a fortress between the east and west. Caravans come and go frequently and all walks of life are prosperous. In order to promote the orderly development of local commerce, we started to distribute signs and bid for auctions." brand, but the whole process is fair and just, absolutely transparent, there is no secret manipulation, let alone like Mr. Gu said, we will not harm people in order to get the brand back."

Wei Zhong was silent for a moment and then asked: "There is no such thing as issuing signs in other places, but your Liangshan County has set a precedent, but who set the rules? Where did the money from bidding on the signs go?"

Guan Qingshan cupped his fists and said: "Liangshan County is the fiefdom of the eldest princess. The rules are naturally established by the eldest princess, and the money for bidding for the brand is also taken over by the eldest princess." After saying that, Guan Qingshan also took out an account book and handed it to Wei Zhong, " I remember the account above clearly, Mr. Wei has reviewed it."

Liu Yunxiang was so angry that she wanted to go up and question Guan Qingshan, when did she establish this rule, and when did she take a penny from Liangshan County.

It's just that she can't be impulsive yet. It's easy to expose Guan Qingshan, but the bigger fish is Wei Zhong, and they have to catch his tail.

Wei Zhong flipped through a few pages and said: "Since it is the eldest princess's fiefdom and is under the jurisdiction of the eldest princess, let alone my own officials, even the emperor will not ask more questions."

Hearing this, the people whispered.

"This eldest princess seems to have never been to Liangshan County, but she took so much money from our Liangshan County. She is so greedy."

"No, Governor Guan and other officials of Liangshan County have to listen to her. If you want me to see it, Gu Ang might as well stop suing Governor Guan and sue the eldest princess instead."

"Eldest Princess, who dares to sue her?"

Su Zhiwei couldn't express his pain, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Wei Zhong pushed the account book out, and then looked at the uncle, "Ignoring the matter of bidding on the brand, I want to ask you, did Master Wan really send someone to notify you in advance to prepare the money? Did you say that someone would withdraw the brand? "

"This..." The man hesitated and didn't speak for a while.

Gu Ang said anxiously: "Shibo, you told me, you can't forget it, and you paid for my travel expenses when I went to Jin'an to file a petition!"

"Okay, I think you are a junior, and I don't want to argue with you. You...you are really..." The man cursed a few words in anger, and then said: "I didn't say that to him, and Master Wan didn't send People have come to see me, but I don’t know anything!”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ang was dumbfounded.

He has no evidence himself, and what he does have is just a few words spoken by this person. Even if he admits that he said this, Master Wan can deny it, and it will still not be considered evidence at that time.

Wei Zhong picked up the gavel tree and patted it down: "Gu Ang, I think you are just unwilling to lose all your wealth and are resentful, so you bite randomly. If you cause such a big trouble, I will not take it seriously." It’s really hard to give Governor Guan an explanation for punishing you. Someone, take him down first and give him fifty big blows!”

Before Gu Ang could argue again, two officers came forward to escort him and walked out.

"Master Wei, you can't settle this case just by asking a few questions in the hall. Please go and investigate. If you investigate carefully, you can find out the clues!"

"Master Wei, aren't you a good and upright official?"

"How can you be so confused!"

No matter how much Gu Ang yelled, Wei Zhong simply ignored him.Seeing this, Gu Ang was so angry that he suddenly broke free, pulled out an officer's knife, and put it on his neck.

"My father died in vain with such a reputation, and my mother cannot die in vain. You officials protect each other, but I don't accept it!"
