First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 338 Convince People With Virtue
When Sun Chuan was brought down to look at Xiaohong's body, the yamen servant finally couldn't help but angrily said, "Master, this Sun Chuan didn't say a single word of truth—he met Gu in private, and we all saw it with our own eyes... And when he was at the Huo family, he obviously didn't show any signs of sadness, but just now he burst into tears of grief, it's obviously a hypocrisy, deliberately acting in front of adults..."

Song Zixun nodded while processing the official documents, "The acting is quite similar to that..."

Yamen servant: "..."

The other thought hurriedly, "Why don't the subordinates catch him now? That kid just went to see the corpse, and he shouldn't have gone far..." He rubbed his fists and said, "Such a glib guy, no Getting punched twice doesn't tell the truth."

Song Zixun glanced at him lightly, "Use torture? Why use torture? Did he kill someone or break the law?" Song Zixun put down his pen, "The laws of this dynasty are strict. As public servants, how can you abuse your power to extract confessions by torture?" He paused, and said leisurely, "Besides, I always dislike the use of violence the most, so you don't want to shout about beating and killing people all day long... You should convince people with virtue."

The two yamen servants looked at each other, and after a while they asked tentatively, "What does your lord mean..."

Song Zixun thought for a while, "When did they make an appointment to meet?"

"It seems...it seems like three days later?" The young yamen servant scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at his companion, who gave him a helpless expression, "The subordinate stood too far away at that time, so I didn't hear clearly ..."

"Then keep an eye on these two people first." Song Zixun said calmly, "Let's see what the agreement they reached is."

........................

The next few days were spent peacefully.

Ever since Sun Chuan was led by Song Zixun to see Xiaohong for the "last time", he vomited violently before leaving the Yamen, and was almost helped out in the end.When I got home that night, I developed a high fever and became ill for three days.

The Gu family on the other side also suddenly came to life.Originally, she had been pestering Yuanwai Huo for the past few days, trying to persuade him to invite the master to come to his house to do it, but in the past two days, not only did she not bring up the old story again, she even didn't go to the study very much.

Huo Yuliang has been busy with the business of the shop recently, and he can't take care of himself. Gu's attitude has changed so much that he didn't take it to heart at all. He still leaves early and returns late every day, and stays in the study at night.

The two are in peace with each other.

Even the yamen servant and Song Zixun couldn't help muttering when they reported back, "Perhaps my subordinates misheard that day... After all, we were so far away at that time..."

Song Zixun didn't even raise his head, "Wait... the fox will show its tail sooner or later."

...the opportunity will come soon.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, the servants of Huo's family had just finished their busy morning, and it was time to eat and drink enough and hide in a cool place to doze off.

The back door of the mansion was suddenly opened slightly by someone from the inside, and then a woman with a fleshy face protruded from the inside.The woman looked out several times furtively, and saw that there was no one else in the alley except a handsome and thin young man, so she opened the door a little wider, and her strong body looked like a fat fish. It nimbly got out from the crack of the door, and then respectfully greeted a graceful woman in a lavender dress who came out from inside.

When the man saw them, he couldn't help but smiled and went forward and cupped his hands, "So it's Aunt Gu...Xiaosheng has been waiting here for a long time." As he spoke, he sized up Gu's plump body with unscrupulous eyes.

Covering her nose with a handkerchief, Gu told the woman to guard the back door, and said with disgust on her face, "If it wasn't for Xiaohong's sake, I wouldn't be able to see you... I took this money and gave it to you." I'm going to get out of here—as far away as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he slammed a heavy bag at him.

Sun Chuan hurriedly reached out to take it, and for a moment he didn't know what to think of. Suddenly, a gloomy and strange expression appeared on his face, "You still have the nerve to mention Xiaohong to me? If it weren't for you, how could Xiaohong die!"

Gu took a step back, "I, I didn't expect—"

"Do you know what they told me when I was in the Yamen morgue that day..." Sun Chuan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are safe and sound as your concubine at Huo's house, poor My little red is lying in the morgue, and she's about to be disembowelled!" He shook the bag in his hand, and suddenly took two steps forward, his ferocious handsome face almost brushing against Gu's. Cheek, "Why, you want to send me away with just a few stinky money now?! You think it's a beggar? Huh?!"

"Don't be rude!" Seeing this, the mother-in-law who was looking out for Mrs. Gu rushed over, pushed Sun Chuan aside forcefully, and said with her hands on her hips, "My aunt is willing to come out to see you to save face, you boy don't want it." Make an inch of it, push your nose to your face!"

The woman was already tall and strong, but Sun Chuan had just been ill two days ago. Although she has recovered now, she has no strength in her body. This push made her stagger, and immediately backed away took several steps.

Seeing the fierce look in his eyes, Mrs. Gu couldn't help feeling a little scared, and hid behind her mother-in-law and said guiltily, "Then you... how much do you want?"

Sun Chuan stood up straight, and opened a palm towards her with a gloomy face.

Gu Shi hesitated, "...50 taels?"

"500 taels." Sun Chuan said ferociously, "I can't do without a dime!"

"500 taels!" Mrs. Gu whispered, "You said it lightly! Where am I going to get you so much money!"

"That's your business." Sun Chuan said coldly, "I'll give you three days. After three days, I must see the money."

His eyes looked at Gu Shi like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, "I advise you to be obedient and get the money ready, let's hello, hello, hello, everyone... otherwise—" Sun Chuan snorted coldly, " I don't mind talking to Mr. Huo, how did you—"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Gu stopped quickly, and she gritted her teeth, "Don't you just want money? I can give it to you! But five days is too short, even if I sell the jewelry, it's too late. How much more time will you give me?" sky……"

Sun Chuan stared at Mrs. Gu for a while, making sure she wasn't playing tricks on him, and then let go, "Ten days at most. Ten days later, it's still the same time. I'll wait for you here."

Gu Shi pursed her lips and nodded, "It's a deal." She paused, "But you have to promise me that once you get the money, that matter..."

"It's natural." Sun Chuan interrupted, "But I remind you, don't play any tricks with me... Otherwise, I will guarantee that you will not be able to eat for the rest of your life!"

Gu Shi wished she could bite her silver teeth, "Got it."
