delicious little cook

Chapter 512
In the evening, Gu Yun arrived home, had dinner, said good night to the elders, sat in the warm side room to review his homework, Bai Kou came in with tea, and stayed to tell him what happened during the day. Turned into a key witness for the plaintiff, Bai Rui's crisis was temporarily lifted, and Gu Yun nodded in relief.

"The words of scaring people out of Tianshuifang are enough to scare the Zhou family out of their minds, and at least they can blind them for three to five days. During this time, I just happened to look for evidence from Wang Chen'an." Bai Kou said.

"Wang Chen'an is the doctor of the examination department, and he is at the same level as the elder. At this time, it is the time when the officials are lobbying for favors, hoping that the performance examination will be good and the order of filling the vacancies will be adjusted. It is not unusual for the two to be found in private contact. If it is exposed, it will be misbehavior, and you will be punished with some salary." Gu Yun was worried because he couldn't catch Wang Chenan's evidence.

"What about his house? Since he is going to marry Xu Xian, the house must be arranged, right? Did the guards find any signs of a marriage?"

"No, marrying Xu Xian is not as grand as marrying Yuan Pei. He is from the grandfather's generation again. He will close the door and come from his family to have fun and it will be over. Besides, Bai Rui is forced to marry. He must be guilty. How dare he have a big banquet?" , When people come in, use the things you have at home to decorate the wedding hall and the new house in one afternoon."

Bai Kou stood up from the cushion, walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly thought of an opportunity.

"What came to mind?"

"Since Wang Chen'an's old wife passed away, a young concubine has been helping him with housework. She has lived a life like a mistress by Mr. Wang's side these past few years. Is she willing to have multiple mistresses on her head?"

"Are you planning on this little concubine to turn her back?"

"It's worth a try, isn't it?"

"If you want her to oppose Wang Chen'an and be our witness, you have to pay a sufficient price."

"The problems that money can solve are not problems, but it is often money that causes problems."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, rich and powerful, the tone of speech is different."

"Isn't this just for your glory?"

"Stop flattering me, I don't like this." Gu Yun stretched out his hand and scratched the bridge of Bai Kou's nose, "Leaving aside the matter of money, if she finds that concubine and asks her to betray her, will she dare? Dare is a problem, if she promises well in person and tells Wang Chen'an when she returns home, our planned plan will be compromised."

"It is true that she is living a good life now. The risk of her betrayal is too great for us, but it is still worth a try."

“How come you see?”

"Because the concubine is a woman."

"Nonsense, if a concubine is not a woman, can she be a man?"

"The concubine is a woman, and Wang Chenan is a man from the grandfather's generation. I heard that his eldest grandson has reached the age of preparing for a childbirth test. As a man, Wang Chenan's fertility has declined. If the man dies before the concubine has a child, she What should we do? The first-born concubine's legitimate children will be given to the young concubine's mother?"

"You want to make her feel uneasy? That's right, young concubine in full bloom, if she sees the hope of marrying another lover, she won't be bored with this old man."

"Since she is serving Wang Chen'an, she naturally knows best whether the family is going to have a wedding or not, and which girl she is marrying. She turned her back and came out as our plaintiff's witness. In this case, Wang Chen'an and Zhou Hongshou got in touch. Mr. Wang has to come out and explain why he has never met Bai Rui, why he thought of marrying her as a sequel."

"What's the value of Bairui that deserves his effort to marry her back? It's not because of you, my sister."

"That's why the servant girl has to clean up both of them to avoid future troubles." Bai Kou picked up the teapot and filled the cup for the prince.

"Speaking of which, there is still another way to make that concubine betray her." Gu Yun patted his forehead in frustration.

"what?"

"The people sue the officials, the official political opponents and the censors will not let go of such a good opportunity."

"Like Gu Hui's lawsuit at that time?"

"That's right. As long as the lawsuit comes and Wang Chen'an gets the news, he must be worried that Zhou Hongshou will bite him. First of all, he must protect himself. The concubine feels uneasy at home, and she will also start to think about the future. A mere concubine, she has no The responsibility of the wife, this is the time to lure her into betrayal."

"So the plan is approved?"

"It's passed. Tomorrow, I'll let the guards stare at Wang's house. Whenever we have a chance, we'll pry into his corner."

"Alright, maidservant is waiting for your good news."

"You took the time these two days to write down the whole process, and I'll find someone to write the pleadings."

"Yes."

The next day, everything was calm in the workshop, Bai Kou withdrew all the nursing homes back, leaving only the girls in the tea room to take care of Bai Rui, after being nervous for a few days, she had to relax.

Bai Kou used this day to finish writing the story. When Gu Yun came back at night, he told Bai Kou that he had invited an old man who had been a famous criminal master to help Bai Rui write pleadings and file lawsuits. For the face of the senior, he just left the management of the up and down affairs to him alone.

"Is there anything you want him to notice in particular?"

"In order for Pai Huazi to be the plaintiff's witness, the maid promised that if he wanted to be punished, the yamen servant would be merciful."

"This is what it should be, is there any more?"

"Pick out the youngest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. In terms of facts, she is the most innocent person. It has been a few months since she married in. The previous things have nothing to do with her. Besides, a healthy person must be left to take care of the family's injuries. Isn't the number and the child?"

"Okay, that's what it should be."

"Others have not been thought of for the time being, please let the old man adapt to the situation."

"Alright."

"By the way, the incident has been written by the maidservant, do you want it now?"

"Give it to me, and ask the old man to write the pleadings tomorrow."

"Have you recorded how much money you spent on this case?"

"You pay the bill?"

"As it should be."

"Is it great to be rich?"

"Of course it's great to have money."

Gu Yun laughed, and waved his hands, "I won't talk to you, go get the things, and settle the score with you after the matter is completely settled."

"Yes, the servant girl will be right back."

Bai Kou hastily brought the stories she had written, from the abuse Bai Rui suffered in the past to the various ugly behaviors that Zhou's family came to her recently, they were all clearly and detailedly written down, since the person who came forward to be the lawyer was an old man who had served as a criminal , this paper must be written quite wonderfully.

What the two of them did did not take the initiative to tell the family, but since gossip spread on the street, it finally reached the ears of the eldest lady and asked Bai Kou to ask questions.

Bai Kou didn't dare to hide anything, so she told everything, including what she and Shizi planned to drive Zhou Hongshou and Wang Chenan out of the officialdom.
