I become a god in another world

Chapter 435: Eliminating Suspicion
Chapter 435

Mr. Qian is not a good person either.

After he said this, he calmly straightened his clothes, waved to the servants in the mansion to pour him a cup of hot tea, and put on an expression of enjoying the show.

Mr. Qian participated in this lawsuit and was very clear about the situation of the Chang family. With his shrewdness, the Chang family was willing to sell their fields and even their daughter to fight this lawsuit, all for Chang Er's inheritance.

Although Chang Jinshui colluded with Zhou Tieshu and saved a lot of money privately, according to his investigation, almost all of the money was spent on his mistresses. After his death, there was no money left in public.

The Chang family was eyeing Yang Kaitai's property.

Yang Kaitai is quite wealthy.

Xinglinyuan is a well-known wealthy family in Shangyang County. Its owner's business involves medicinal materials and medical treatment, and it almost monopolizes the import and export business of medicinal materials in Shangyang County.

This big boss has the support of the Demon Suppression Bureau of Shangyang County. He donates large sums of silver to the bureau every year, and his business is spread across every county and town in Shangyang County.

Yang Kaitai is the head manager of this employer.

He is proficient in medicine and has a reputation for bringing people back to life. He is highly regarded by his employer and is solely in charge of the business of Xinglin Garden in Shangyang County.

Speaking of this famous manager of Xinglinyuan, many people can't help but praise him when they mention him.

He was born in a poor family, but was a very enterprising person. Like Chang Jinshui, he was fortunate enough to become an apprentice under another old shopkeeper of Xinglinyuan in his early years.

Because of his kind character, the old shopkeeper treated him as his own son, educated him carefully, and treated him as his own son.

When he came of age, he would marry his daughter to him.

Yang Kaitai lived up to his master's trust. He later inherited his master's mantle, took care of him in his old age and was a very upright person. Even though his wife did not give birth to a son and passed away leaving him three daughters, after his wife's death, he did not remarry or take concubines, but raised the three daughters alone.

Perhaps it was because his life was too smooth and the people he met were all nice, which made Yang Kaitai take good care of his apprentice.

He never had any selfish motives when teaching Chang Jinshui. When Chang Jinshui became an adult, he asked about his wishes and married his eldest daughter to him.

The two parties agreed that if Ms. Yang gave birth to two sons in the future, one would be left to inherit the Yang family's legacy.

However, things went against his wishes. Yang's wife did not give birth to a son, but only a daughter like his mother.

But although Yang Kaitai was able to repay his gratitude and serve his master, the disciple he chose might not have the same character as him.

Chang Jinshui is a man of integrity, good at making friends, and extremely caring and filial to his family, all of which are qualities that Yang Kaitai values, but his obsession with passing on the family line exceeds that of Yang Kaitai.

The master and disciple had a disagreement at this time.

Yang Kaitai worked as the manager of Xinglin Garden all his life and had some money, land and real estate. He was particularly caring for Chang Jinshui and once said clearly that he would rely on his eldest son-in-law for his old age and all his property would be inherited by Chang Jinshui.

When Chang Jinshui was alive, no one dared to have any second thoughts.

But Chang Jinshui wanted a son, so he arranged for a mistress without his master's knowledge. However, one day, on his way back from the mistress's home with Zhou Tieshu, he fell into the water and drowned.

……

This is where things get interesting.

The reason why the Chang family cried and clamored to sue Yang Kaitai was not only because they were sad about Chang Er's death, but also because, if you think more deeply, human nature is greedy and deep, and they might be afraid that Yang Kaitai's wealth would fall into the hands of other people.

The Chang family is now struggling to raise money by selling fields, land, and their daughter to fight this lawsuit, but the money raised by the entire Chang family is less than one percent of Yang Kaitai's wealth.

After Chang Er died, Chang's mother was an elderly woman. How much could she spend?
The reason why she fought like this was just for her future sons.

But after this lawsuit, Chang Er chose to keep a secret adopted son from his mistress.

With a son like this, the Chang family’s wishful thinking may not come true.

The Chang family was confused at first. They only knew that they wanted to sue, but they didn't ask for the causes and consequences. Now that they know this, I wonder how they feel.

Not only Mr. Qian thought of this, but Zhao Fusheng and others also realized it.

She turned and looked at Chang San and Chang Si.

Chang San still had a flattering smile on his face, but his eyes were a little confused as he looked at Chang Si.

Master Qian laughed maliciously, and Chang Si also laughed along. But after laughing for a while, he felt uneasy for some reason, and looked at Master Liu San again, then asked cautiously:

"Third Master, what does Master Qian mean by this?"

Mr. Liu San was stunned and said, "Mr. Qian said that the second son has an heir—"

His words were more rude and direct than those spoken by Master Qian, and Chang San and Chang Si understood them immediately.

After a brief moment of shock, the two brothers were delighted at first - they were both happy that their brother had an heir. But as soon as they opened their mouths, they immediately thought of something and their expressions changed immediately: "What? He has an heir? Where does the heir come from?"

"Liuwang Hutong, keeping a mistress." Mr. Qian kindly reminded.

Chang San's face suddenly turned as red as pig liver.

"This, this..." If Chang Er has offspring, what does the Chang family have to do with this lawsuit?

This Mr. Qian is really vicious.

Although he had known about this for a long time, he never mentioned it when dealing with the Chang family. Instead, he enjoyed their respect and worship, and watched them sell their fields, land, and daughter to raise money for the lawsuit.

If he had mentioned it earlier, the situation might have been completely different.

The faces of the Chang San brothers turned from red to blue, anger and panic surged in their eyes. They stared at Master Qian hatefully, wishing they could give this treacherous and cunning old man a good beating.

But Mr. Qian came from the county and his status was not ordinary. This place was in the county government office. They were not Zhao Fusheng and his group of outsiders, so how could they dare to act rashly?

Master Qian was not afraid of their glares. Instead, he stared at them with a sneer, making it clear that he wanted to take advantage of them.

"This is such a big thing, why didn't Master Qian mention it before?" Chang San was a coward after all. After his initial anger, he did not dare to provoke the county officials. He could only ask with a weak smile.

"You didn't ask, so how can I bring it up?" Mr. Qian said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the lawsuit will be filed and the process will be followed." "That's different--" Chang San swallowed his anger and said, "Now that it's like this, how can we still file this lawsuit?"

"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?" Mr. Qian asked.

Chang San felt like crying when he heard his indifferent attitude, so he had to look at Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu also felt that the situation was getting tricky.

He was older than Chang San and Chang Si, and knew the ins and outs better. He also understood that the Chang family's efforts would be in vain.

The land has been sold and the two daughters have been sent to the Wu family. If Chang Er has descendants, who will make up for the Chang family's losses?
"This Chang Lao Er - why is he so unreliable?" He sighed, and then he looked at Chang San: "This son -"

Mr. Liu Sanye was an old and shrewd man. While he was speaking, a vicious idea came to his mind.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he suppressed it firmly.

Although he and Chang Wusao are from the same hometown, they have different surnames after all. Why should he get involved in this matter and lose his good karma?

He stopped talking and just hoped that Chang San could understand what he meant.

When he thought about it, Chang San's eyes lit up: "Master Qian, is it certain that the son born to the concubine in Liuwang Hutong is my second brother's biological son? Did Zhou Tieshu set up a trap to lure my second brother into it, and then put the wrong person on the wrong person? Wouldn't that be hilarious?" "..." Master Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "It's not clear when you put it that way. Since you mentioned it, I'll arrest Zhou Tieshu and torture him to find out." Zhou Tieshu often used torture to obtain illegal income, but he never expected that one day he would suffer from lawsuits and imprisonment.

Chang San was delighted when he heard what he said: "Of course, Zhou Tieshu is really hateful!"

……

Zhao Fusheng watched a great show in just a short while.

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, he said slowly: "If that's the case, is there anything else that you don't understand?" He said: "The tea fee you gave is not much--" He reminded: "If you want to ask, just ask. If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to find it again." "No, no--"

Chang San waved his hands hurriedly.

Zhao Fusheng had only asked two questions when he revealed such a shocking secret. The Chang family was already feeling extremely troubled, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Mr. Qian was about to speak, but Zhao Fusheng said, "He doesn't have it, but I do." After she finished speaking, she frowned and said, "Bring me a chair."

Ding Datong looked annoyed.

He had seen Zhao Fusheng handling a case before and was interested in learning from him, so he had forgotten about this.

Hearing this, he quickly pulled out a throne and placed it behind Zhao Fusheng.

The chair was made of fine wood and was quite heavy, but it felt light in his hand.

When Mr. Qian saw this scene, his expression was slightly stunned and he looked thoughtful.

"What else do you want to ask?" Because Ding Datong moved the chair, he sat up straighter and asked with a frown.

"You only told me the reason why Chang Jinshui went from south to west, and mentioned the date of the accident, but you didn't mention when Chang Jinshui returned home after visiting his mistress in Liuwang Hutong?" Zhao Fusheng said.

Chang San showed an unhappy look on his face: "Why are you still asking this--" Before he could finish his words, he received a warning look from Fan Wujiu and dared not speak any more.

Master Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Although Chang Jinshui often goes out after work under the pretext of going out for a drink with Zhou Tieshu, I have visited Xinglin Garden and heard that he has a deep relationship with Yang Kaitai."

Chang San was very nervous, fearing that he would say something shocking again, and he became extremely anxious.

"It was already winter at this time. Yang Kaitai took pity on his depression and allowed him to go out for a drink. But every time he went out, Yang Kaitai would always ask his daughter to prepare hot water and side dishes to sober him up, and he would often stand at the door waiting for him." Although Chang Jinshui had a concubine and a son, he could not bear to let his master wait for a long time, so he would always leave at the end of the You hour (around 7pm) when he stayed at the concubine's house.

On the day of the incident, Chang Jinshui was just like usual. At the end of the You hour, no matter how gentle and considerate his mistress was, or how clingy she was, he had to leave.

Master Qian summoned his concubine to ask about it that day, and the concubine said with certainty: "Master Chang said that Master stood a lot in his early years, and his knees and waist are not good. They have been aching since winter. Whenever he goes out, Master always waits for a long time. He can't stay for long and has to go home to give Master moxibustion." After that, the concubine said: "Master Chang also said that the weather is cold, and he can't bear to keep the old man waiting any longer, so he may not come for a while."

The concubine cried for a long time that day.

But something unexpected happened on the way back. Chang Er fell into the lake and was dead when he was fished out.

Chang San breathed a sigh of relief.

This passage doesn't sound like there are any clues that are unfavorable to the Chang family.

Zhao Fusheng's face was serious: "You mean, on the day of the incident, Chang Er went to Liuwang Hutong to visit his mistress and illegitimate son?" "..." Mr. Qian didn't understand what she meant and was about to mock her, but he saw Ding Datong, Wu Shaochun and others looking at him eagerly from the corner of his eye, so he suppressed his impatience and nodded: "Yes." "That means he didn't drink." Zhao Fusheng said.

Only then did Mr. Qian understand what she meant.

"Not really, I just drank a little." He explained: "After all, I said I was going out to drink, so I have to smell of alcohol. It would be hard to report to my superiors when I get back." This man is cunning and treacherous, and has a cruel heart.

From the way he treated the Chang family, it can be seen that he is not a good person.

But he was serious about handling cases.

Even a discerning person could see that Yang Kaitai was innocent in the Chang Er case, but Mr. Qian took money from others and did things for them. No matter what the Chang family's purpose was, he was really concerned about the lawsuit and had been investigating it seriously, and had found out the details very clearly.

Unfortunately, the Chang family was not interested in this, and Zhao Fusheng got the upper hand instead.

"That is to say, he drank some wine and smelled of alcohol in order to get the job done, but he was not actually drunk," Zhao Fusheng added.

Mr. Qian nodded: "You can say that." "Then he slipped and fell into the lake, and it remains to be verified." As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Mr. Qian drank his tea in silence without saying a word.

Chang San said bitterly: "Yang Kaitai killed him. He must have known that my second brother had a son, so he was resentful and hired someone to kill my second brother." Zhao Fusheng could no longer tolerate this idiot: "Didn't you say that the son born by the concubine might not be your second brother's biological son?"

Chang San didn't expect that she turned the gun towards him. He was a little panicked by the question and said hastily, "It's not my second brother's." "Since he is not your second brother's son, why did Yang Kaitai want to kill your second brother?" Zhao Fusheng asked coldly.

"Because, because he is crazy--" Chang San said in panic.

Zhao Fusheng complained: "I think you are crazy." "How can you not know what is good for you? Our family provides you with food." Chang San said hatefully.

Zhang Chuanshi rolled his eyes and said, "Can I spit it out to you? Pah, pah, pah."

He spat into the air several times in a row, which made the Chang brothers so angry that they blew their beards and glared at each other, and made Zhang Chuanshi laugh so hard that he couldn't stop.

"Your second brother is now the shopkeeper and is still working under Yang Kaitai." To put it bluntly, the title of shopkeeper Chang Jinshui might have been recommended by Yang Kaitai.

Chang San's daughter-in-law said that Chang Jinshui had worked for many years but actually had no money.

Although Yang Kaitai likes his disciple and is willing to leave the money in his hands to this disciple who is not his biological son but whom he treats as his own after his death, there is a prerequisite here - after his death.

Before his death, all the money and power were in the hands of Yang Kaitai.

"How did you know that, Miss?" Wu Shaochun asked.

Sorry, I forgot the time.
