After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Gu Huaijing knew that his words had an effect.

He didn't say a word next, but looked straight at the prefect.

Finally, the prefect was defeated and said, "Sir, I will tell you."

The prefect took a deep breath and told everything at once.

For half an hour, the prefect didn't stop.

He was even worried that Gu Huaijing wouldn't believe it, so he told many small details just to make his words more credible.

When Gu Huaijing listened to the prefect's words, his originally cold eyes became even more frightening.

The prefect met Gu Huaijing's eyes and felt his heart beating faster.

"Sir, I'm just the governor of Nanhu. I don't have the final say on many things. I beg you, please, please spare me."

The eunuch crawled to Gu Huaijing, grabbed his clothes, and began to kowtow to beg for mercy.

However, his actions made Gu Huaijing even more angry. He frowned and retreated, "Do you know what impact these things you do will have on the people?"

Gu Huaijing's words made the prefect stop his movements, but his face was a little dejected. He also sat on the ground shivering and murmured, "The lower official knows, the lower official knows, but..."

"But you can't give up this glory and wealth, so you would rather the people suffer than yourself?"

"Sir, Nanhu is not as rich as you see. In fact, we officials are also suffering. What's more, the people above are all ministers of the imperial court, and even..."

"Even a prince?"

Gu Huaijing said what the eunuch hadn't said.

In an instant, the prefect's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Huaijing in disbelief.

Gu Huaijing looked at him coldly, "Do you know that the west is worse than your Nanhu? Do you know that Mr. Wang doesn't have enough to eat, but he still thinks about the people. I don't expect you to do well, but you Now that you are using people’s money, you really deserve to be killed.”

Gu Huaijing, who was originally a man of few words, has encountered so many things in the west, and now he has seen through many things.

He is also very curious about some officials now.

I wonder how they did it and why they had to commit corruption.

The prefect was silent for a long time and then saluted Gu Huaijing, "Sir, I know that my crime is unforgivable, but I beg you to let my family go."

Gu Huaijing was attracted by the prefect's words and came back to his senses.

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing took out the account book prepared by the prefect, which clearly recorded every record.

Fortunately, the prefect has such a habit, otherwise there would really be no evidence left.

When Gu Huaijing found Tan Zhixu with the evidence, she had also obtained a lot of evidence from the prefect's wife in the past hundred years.

The wife of the prefect was a little confused when she saw her master hunched his neck and followed Gu Huaijing, "Master, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay. How was your visit with Miss Tan, madam?" The prefect smiled shyly at Tan Zhixu.

That compliment made Tan Zhixu instantly understand. It seemed that Gu Huaijing had figured out the prefect.

However, the wife of the prefect in front of her had not realized this yet. Seeing her husband's gentle words, she was not happy and rushed to the prefect.

"What are you doing to be polite to such a person? You just want to get close to us..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

The prefect immediately raised his hand to cover his wife's mouth, and smiled awkwardly at Gu Huaijing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, but my wife is a bit of a brainiac. Don't take offense to her."

"Master Taishou, your wife is not brainless. She remembers the price of your house clearly. She even remembers the price of this tree. Five hundred taels is indeed quite good."

Tan Zhixu looked at the prefect with a smile. The sarcastic meaning of these words was so obvious that even if the prefect's wife couldn't understand it, the prefect could hear it clearly.

Tan Zhixu's words were no less than putting a knife on his neck.

"Tan, Miss Tan, you, I can't bear what you said." The eunuch didn't care about his wife and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

Upon seeing this, the prefect's wife was puzzled but no longer as arrogant as before. Instead, she looked at Tan Zhixu cautiously.

Seeing that her expression was completely different from before, Tan Zhixu smiled softly and said, "What's wrong?"

"Miss Tan, you don't remember the faults of villains. Don't be misled by my words. In fact, I just love vanity and deliberately exaggerate. We really don't have this mansion, and we didn't spend so much money. They are all fake. , these are all fake, just a few taels of silver."

The eunuch's wife moved to stand in front of Tan Zhixu, her previous arrogance completely gone.

She held Tan Zhixu's hand, looking so nervous, completely different from before.

"Madam, that's not what you said just now. Isn't it a little too late to change your mind now?"

"Miss Tan, please don't vent your anger on my master. My master really didn't do anything."

The prefect's wife does care about her husband.

Tan Zhixu didn't answer, just looked at Gu Huaijing.

Being looked at by Tan Zhixu, Gu Huaijing's eyes were covered with a smile.

"Master Taishou, I will not be involved in the matters between you and your husband. However, if you cannot help me, then I can only send you on a mission."

"Don't worry, it will definitely be possible. I will do what you say."

"it is good."

Gu Huaijing nodded to the prefect, and then left with Tan Zhixu.

The prefect's wife looked at a loss throughout the whole process. It wasn't until the group left that she came to her husband.

"Husband, who are those people and why do they treat you like this?"

The lady had doubts in her heart, and her face was full of worry.

The governor's body was shaking violently, and he quickly pulled his wife forward.

Soon the two arrived at the ancestral hall of the mansion.

"You guys keep watch outside."

The prefect asked his servants to stay outside, and he and his wife came to the ancestral hall.

The wife was still uneasy being dragged by her husband like this, "Husband, are you talking?"

"That's enough, let me calm down."

The prefect glared at his wife.

With just one glance, the lady was frightened by his red eyes.

Then she shut her mouth and didn't say another word. It wasn't until the prefect looked at her that she showed a wry smile.

"problem occurs?"

"Did you know that Mr. Gu was sent by the imperial court?" The prefect could not help but tremble.

Madam nodded, "Yes, I know. Then Miss Tan told me, is there any problem? Aren't we all in contact with the high officials in the capital?"

She didn't think there was any problem, but the prefect sighed and said: "It's different. This time Master Gu is here to arrest us and take us all away. He knows everything."

"Wha, what? He knows everything? He knows all the money we embezzled?"
