Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 64 The dust has settled
  The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Tingye excitedly and said, "I am your nanny Chang."

"Are you Aunt Chang?" Upon hearing this, Gu Tingye came forward excitedly and said, "Aunt Chang, why are you here?"

When his biological mother passed away in childbirth, he was already four or five years old. Because of his mother's death, he was so sad that he was in a state of confusion during that period.

When he walked out, he discovered that the nanny Chang who had been taking care of him was missing.

What his father said was that Grandma Chang had been taken back by her son.

After so many years, although he could no longer remember what Nanny Chang looked like, he still remembered Nanny Chang as a person.

"Brother Ye, now is not the time to talk about this."

Grandma Chang patted Gu Tingye's hand, took out a piece of yellowed paper from her arms, and said: "This is the written document that was created when the family was separated. As for the authenticity of the suicide note, there is a calligraphy treasure left by the old man at home. , you will know the authenticity by comparing it.”

"How is it possible? It wasn't given to me by my uncle..."

When the elder brother of the Bai family heard what Grandma Chang said, his expression changed drastically.

When dividing a family, in order to avoid future disputes, some well-known local people and elders of the clan will be invited to be witnesses. These people will sign when the document is established.

The elder of the Bai family naturally knew that there was a document indicating the separation of the family.

But Mr. Bai couldn't bear the desolation of the second and third bedrooms, so he took them back to his ancestral home and tore up the papers in public.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Chang looked at the elder of the Bai family and sneered: "You want to say that the old man tore it up at the beginning, right? The old man was cautious at first. He wanted to test the second and third old masters. If he tore it up, When the second old man and the third old man wanted to compete with him for the family property, he simply drove them away and never asked him about it again. Later, the second old man and the third old man did not do that, and the document remained."

"When the old man was seriously ill, he saw that you were quarreling fiercely over the family property. Knowing that you couldn't let Brother Ye inherit the family property, he sent someone to find the old woman and gave her the title."

"That's nonsense. I think you are colluding with him just to seize my Bai family's property. I have never met you, how could my uncle hand over the documents to you?" shouted the eldest son of the Bai family.

The official who signed the document has been transferred long ago, and the elders of the clan have also passed away.

As long as he doesn't admit it, the investigation will take time, so we can't delay the funeral.

Grandma Chang is not from the Bai family. She was the nanny specially selected for his grandson when Mr. Bai learned that his daughter was pregnant and sent her directly to Bianjing.

Later, Mrs. Bai died of dystocia, and Mrs. Bai went to Bianjing. Grandma Chang told Mr. Bai the injustice she suffered in the Gu family and the reason why she died of dystocia.

After hearing what happened, Mr. Bai made a fuss with the Gu family and wanted to take away his grandson.

However, the Gu family would definitely not agree. Mr. Bai was a businessman and was quite a figure in Yangzhou. He could not compete with the Gu family in Bianjing.

Mr. Bai also knew that Grandma Chang was a high-density person and would not end well if she stayed in the Gu family, so he could only take her away from Bianjing.

After returning to Yangzhou, Mr. Bai gave her a sum of money and let her go home, but did not let her stay in the Bai family.

It wasn't until he was about to die that he was worried that the second and third bedrooms of the Bai family would prevent Gu Tingye from inheriting the family business, so he had someone find her and hand over the papers to her.

Aunt Chang didn't bother to explain this to the Bai family elders and the others. She saluted the Yangzhou magistrate and Sheng Hong and said, "You two adults, please make the decision."

Sheng Hong and the prefect Hu Xian looked at each other and said, "Ming Gong, how about we take a look first? Mr. Bai has brought great benefits to the village. If he is really tired and leaves a suicide note, he will naturally follow the wishes of Mr. Bai if it complies with the law. Come and do it.”

Hu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look."

Sheng Hong stepped forward and said: "Many Yangzhou officials have seen the handwriting of Mr. Bai. Now take out the suicide note and we will verify its authenticity in public. In addition, we must also take out the written documents of the original separation of the family. I Someone will be sent to verify.”

Hearing this, Gu Tingye took out the suicide note from his arms, cupped his hands and said, "Sheng Tongxuan, please read it."

Aunt Chang also handed over the receipt.

The elder brother of the Bai family and Bai Yuning looked at each other with ugly expressions.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Bai Yuning leaned over and whispered. "The suicide note should be authentic, but it will take time to verify the authenticity of the document. When the time comes, we will say that we can't waste time and will be buried as early as possible. We will go through the funeral first. Then send more money to those officials. I don't believe they will still do it. I will help an outsider." said the Bai family elder.

"But we have sent gifts to Shanda several times but they have not been confiscated. It will be very difficult for him not to agree." Bai Yuning said.

Sheng Hong is on the rise, so naturally he won't think about making money.

In addition, the Sheng family's Dafang would give him some money every year for official affairs, so Sheng Hong was not short of money.

The Bai family sent several gifts, but they were all turned away.

The elder man of the Bai family said with a gloomy face: "Then give more."

He felt that the reason why Sheng Hong refused to accept it was because the gift was too little.

As long as you can inherit the Bai family's vast wealth, spending more money doesn't matter.

Hu Xian and Sheng Hong called several officials from Yangzhou to discuss for a while. Sheng Hong came out and said: "After careful identification by several of us who have seen Mr. Bai's handwriting, this suicide note was written by Mr. Bai himself. Now. As long as the authenticity of the documents is verified, the conclusion will be drawn."

"We naturally believe what the Lord Zhizhou and Lord Tongpan say."

The eldest son of the Bai family raised his hands and said with a sad face: "But now it's almost noon. It is unfilial to argue about the ownership of the family property in front of my uncle's funeral hall. If we delay the funeral any longer, won't we let my uncle die?" Can’t you all live in peace?”

"Yes. Why don't we talk about this matter after the funeral."

Bai Yuning looked at Gu Tingye and said, "You don't want to delay your grandfather's funeral."

"this…"

Everyone was a little hesitant when they heard this. Indeed, the investigation would take a lot of time, and the funeral should not be delayed.

However, now that there is a funeral, who will be the dutiful son who throws the basin and sets the sail?
  For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Tingye, wanting to see how he would make a decision.

Gu Tingye's face was gloomy. He didn't want to delay his grandfather's funeral, but now his words have not been confirmed.

If there is a funeral at this time, the Bai family will naturally be the filial son, which Gu Tingye is not willing to do.

He is not greedy for money. As a prince of the Hou family, he grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and he has no deep concept of money.

However, inheriting the family business was his grandfather's last wish, and he also wanted to be a filial son and fulfill his filial piety for his grandfather.

Because everyone's eyes were on Gu Tingye, no one noticed that Dong Rong, Sheng Hong's follower, walked in.

Dongrong came to Sheng Hong and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Sheng Hong glanced at the Bai brothers and nodded.

After Dong Rong left, Sheng Hong said: "You're right, we really can't delay Mr. Bai's funeral. The assassins who committed the attack yesterday captured two people alive. After interrogation, they were sent by a group of water bandits near Yangzhou. This morning The military commander led his troops to suppress the bandits. I just received the news that the group of water bandits has been wiped out, and I also asked the leader of the water bandits who ordered them. "

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this and looked at Sheng Hong to see who was so bold as to pay someone to assassinate Young Master Houmen and Young Master Tongpan.

When the Bai brothers heard this, their faces changed drastically and they broke out in cold sweat.

At this moment, a group of government officials rushed in and surrounded the Bai brothers.

No matter how stupid everyone is at this time, they still know that the Bai brothers are the ones who bought the murder.
