Chapter 52 I experienced a volcanic eruption (2)
"First, when Mr. W.'s faculties and memory became weak and confused, Heep deliberately confused and messed up the whole business. When Mr. W. was most unsuitable for business, Heep was always on the sidelines and forced him to do things. In this situation, he took important documents and lied about unimportant ones, and obtained Wei's signature. In this way, he persuaded Mr. Wei to give him the right to use a sum of money in custody, which amounted to 610 yuan. Thousands of [-] pounds [-] shillings [-] pence to deal with debts and deficits which were actually prepared or did not exist. He created a false appearance in front of others, and this matter was all due to Mr. Wei's own dishonesty. intention, and because of it, and has since threatened him with this matter, which has caused him great distress.”

"You must have evidence! You, Micawber!" said Julia, "tell it all at once!"

"Mr. Traddles, would you please ask Heep who lived in his house after he moved?"

"It's the fool himself—he lives there now," Yulia said.

"Ask Heep if he has a pocket blotter in that house?" asked Mr. Micawber.

"Or ask him," said Mr. Micawber, "if he ever burned a blotter there."

The mother cried:

"Yuli, let's reconcile,"

"Mother!" he replied, "please don't talk, will you? What are you talking about?"

Mr. Micawber went on reading his letter.

"Second, Hipp has repeatedly and systematically impersonated Mr. Wei's signature on various records, books and documents. The most prominent example, which can be proved by me, is that it can be said that due to Mr. Wei's physical strength, Weakness, his death may cause some discovery, may cause Heep to lose power in the Wei family, and I estimate that he must secretly control Miss Wei's filial piety, so that the joint venture affairs will not be checked in the slightest. In this case, it has been said This one—Heep made an IOU for Mr. Wee, stating that Mr. Heepdwee should advance the aforementioned 610 pounds [-]s. [-] pence, plus interest, to recover Mr. Wee's debt. Reputation, although the sum was not actually advanced by him, and has long since been repaid. The signatures on this instrument, nominally signed by Mr. W. and certified by Wilkin Micawber, were forged by Heep, and I From his handbook several identical imitations of Mr. Wy's signature, though charred in some places by fire, are recognizable to anyone, and this document is here with me.

"And this paper, as of this morning, I have given it to Mr. Traddles."

"That is an undeniable fact," agreed Traddles, nodding.

"Yuli," his mother called. "Be humble and reconcile."

It is astonishing that a mother clings to this old useless game when the son has thrown it away.

"Mother," he said, "you'd better shoot me!"

"But I love you, Ully," cried Mrs. Heep, and I believed she loved him, and I believed he loved her, and they were certainly a match for each other. "You made yourself more dangerous by pissing off this gentleman. I couldn't take it any longer. When the gentleman told me that the crime had been exposed, I said to him right away, I promise you are humble, You can atone for your sins. Gentlemen, don't take him to heart!

"Yuli, I can't stand it," his mother cried, "How can I see you getting into trouble because of pride, it's better to be humble, haven't you always been like this!"

He was silent.

Mr. Micawber resumed his reading.

"Third. And last. I'm going to use Heep's fake ledger and the real one right away. First, the partially destroyed pocket blotter (which my wife accidentally found in the ashes of the furnace when we moved to our present residence) box, we didn't know what it was at the time), which confirms that Mr. Way's weaknesses, mistakes, virtues, paternal love and sense of reputation have all been exploited over the years for Heep's nefarious purpose, This also shows that Mr. Wei has been deceived and robbed in conceivable ways over the years as Heep's despicableness, greed, and his property have increased. It shows that Heep's general attempt is to Apart from money, he wants to completely conquer Mr. Wei and Ms. Wei (as for his bad thoughts about Miss Wei, I don’t care). It shows that his final behavior is: forcing Mr. Wei to give up his shares, and even sell the property in his house. Furnishings, paid four times a year on an annuity given by Heep; Heep first made an astonishing false settlement of the property purchased by Mr. Way, and then engaged in usury, money nominally borrowed from others, but actually from Heep, in fact, was cheated from Mr. Wei by Heep on the pretext of such speculations, and maintained by various unlawful schemes) the growing seriousness finally overwhelmed Mr. Wei. He believed that his various situations, Broken, including his reputation, he rests his only prosperity on this beast - it destroys Mr. Way by keeping him from leaving him, and he is responsible for proving it all, and many others I can also prove the responsibility for the matter!"

Agnes was beside me, weeping mingled with joy and sorrow, and there was a general commotion, thinking that Mr. Micawber had finished reading the letter.But with the utmost seriousness he said, "I'm sorry." And he went on to read the end of the letter with the greatest grief and the greatest interest at the same time.

"I have now read it, and it is only for me to prove the crimes. Then, with my poor family, disappear from the land where we are warts. I will do this soon, according to It is reasonable to assume that our baby will die first from lack of nutrition, followed by our twin, and as for myself, my Canterbury pilgrimage has dealt me ​​a huge blow, imprisonment under the Civil Procedure Act, and Embarrassment, will hit me harder. A labor and adventure of investigation, in the morning, in the evening, in the middle of the night, under the watchful eyes of demons, under the pressure of heavy duties, under the conditions of anxiety and poverty, put The slightest findings are slowly strung together. Add to this the struggle of paternal poverty, when completed, and put to good use, like a few drops of cooling water on my funeral pyre. I do not otherwise Nothing else to ask for. What I do has nothing to do with money or purpose, and I wish I could get a fair comment like this:

"For the country, for the family, for the beauty.

to Wilkin Micawber"

Mr. Micawber, though very sad, was very proud, folded the letter, bowed to my aunt, and handed the letter to my aunt.

Many years ago, I discovered that there was an iron safe in the house. At that time, the key was inserted in it. Yulia suddenly walked over and opened it with a "dang", only to find that it was empty.

"Where's the ledger?" he cried.

"I did it," said Mr. Micawber, "and snatched the key and ledger from you this morning."

"Don't worry," said Traddles, "the books are mine. I will keep them in accordance with my stated authority."

"Did you take a bribe?" cried Yulia.

"In the circumstances," said Traddles, "yes."

My aunt, who had been listening very quietly and attentively, threw herself on Julia Heep, and I was amazed at what I saw.

"You understand what I want to do, don't you?" my aunt asked.

"A garment for binding madmen," Yulia replied.

"My property!" replied my aunt, "Agnes, the day I believe my property will be lost to your father, the day I don't—my darling, I didn't even mention it to Trol, which He's clear--say a word about the way it's put here for investment. But now I know the kid is responsible for the money, and I've got to get it back! Come on, Trollo, from him Get the money back here!"

Thanks to my persuasion and her consideration, she calmed down.

Yuli said to me fiercely:

"What do you want?"
