Chapter 115

As the biggest piece of rotten meat, Gu Lingbo absolutely wants to dispose of it, but it's a lot earlier.

Ji Ge could not shake Gu Lingbo's mind.

He said:

"You don't have to worry about this. Your shop is closed. Those shops are owned by the government. If someone wants to buy your shop, they can reopen it immediately, which will not affect the life in the town."

Seeing that his hint was useless, Gu Lingbo began to refuse to admit his guilt and said he was innocent. He also said that he had someone in Beijing. He had sent a letter, and someone would soon replace jigo to find out his innocence.

Jigo sneered in his heart. No matter how big your background is, can it be bigger than my mentor Zuo Xiang?

"Since master Gu doesn't admit it, we'll add her criminal evidence and put it out one by one to see if there's anything wrong."

Master Gu was overjoyed. He also wanted to know where he got so much money. He didn't remember it at all. He just felt that jigo had put on a big hat for him.

But as jigo turned over the accounts a little, he recalled all the difficulties of the money. Some impressions were very vague, but he knew he had done it. Therefore, as jigo passed more and more evidence, Gu Lingbo's cold sweat was more and more. His back had been wet with sweat, but he still insisted that he was innocent and refused to admit his guilt, that is to say, the so-called evidence was false at all.

Ji Ge will not let Gu Lingbo toss like this. He has just received a message from Mu Yun that he is going to have a big meal at Lin's house today. At this time, he was impatient and wanted to deal with Gu Lingbo's affairs early, so that he could ask Mu Yun for credit and have a harmonious and perfect reunion dinner.

He motioned to the Yamen to bring up the instruments of torture.

Gu Lingbo was relieved to see that they all went to the back yard one after another and thought they were going to leave themselves and do something else first.

But before he finished, he saw them carry out a pair of torture instruments.

Gu Yunbo's cold sweat was even more turbulent.

He shouted in horror:

"You can't abuse lynching. I... I haven't pleaded guilty. You can't do this to me."

Jigo sneered:

"What is the abuse of lynching? In the law, sinners can extort confessions by torture if they do not confess their sins. If you confess your sins obediently, can we still use these things?"

As soon as he finished, he motioned the Yamen to try all the instruments of torture on Gu Lingbo.

As soon as Gu Lingbo got on the tiger stool, he begged for mercy and said:

"I plead guilty, I plead guilty!"

His body was used to a comfortable life. How could he stand such torture? Just a little uncomfortable, he couldn't help shouting.

Now that the prisoner had pleaded guilty, jigo began to investigate his family.

Before he entered the door, he saw a young man holding a large pile of things.

The boy was about to run out. When he saw them, he seemed to see a ghost. Regardless of the things scattered under the cloth bag, he ran away.

Jigo doesn't care about these shrimp and fish.

When he checked the Gu family, he knew the names of all the servants of the Gu family. He could catch them and spit out all the things they had stolen.

So he went directly into Gu's house and commanded the Yamen to count all the rich things.

He sent a large number of people, and Gu's house was not very big. In addition to the main courtyard, there were only five small courtyards. In less than half a day, he sorted out the remaining properties of Gu's house.

Ji Ge also pried away the hint in Gu Lingbo's study and took out the things.

He asked the master to register them all.

After finishing sorting, shiye reported all the valuable items in the house to Ji Ge:

"There are 7492 taels of silver and 680000 taels of silver in Gu's house. Among the jade articles, there are bracelets..."

The master said one by one, and Ji Ge nodded.

He asked the Yamen to move everything to the yamen, and then said to Mrs. Gu and Yanwu:

"The house will also be collected. I will give you half a month to find a new residence. During this half month, you can live in the house, but you shall not damage any items in the house. If there is any damage, I will compensate according to the price. After half a month, the yard will be sealed and auctioned by the government in the future."

When he finished, he turned and left regardless of Mrs. Gu and Yanwu's pale face.

On the way to Gu's house, he was already guessing what Muyun would cook in the evening.

Just like this, he felt very warm when he thought about it, and he couldn't help smiling on the corners of his mouth.

The martial master saw that he was very happy and said pleasantly:

"Gu Fu is really rich. In the next few days, brothers will have a good meal."

Ji Ge also knows that people working in the government like to check other people's houses, because there is enough oil and water in them. Without him, I'm afraid half of Gu's money will be embezzled by these yamen servants and masters.

But as the saying goes, when the water is clear, there is no fish. He can't completely hand over all your things to Gu Fu. He still wants to leave some for the brothers to eat and drink.

This is not collusion, but a necessary means for officialdom.

At the same time, master Gu in the Yamen prison listened to the prison guards discuss where to eat in the evening, and said that there were many good things in Gu's family, and they got a lot of benefits.

Gu Lingbo didn't expect Ji Ge to be so fast, but in one day, he caught him, reviewed him, and finally copied him!

This means that even if he goes out in the future, those properties will no longer belong to him. He can't help but despair.

He looked around. There was only a little straw in the cold and humid cell so that he could lie down a little. In the corner, there was a pot as small as a spittoon. The pot looked like a spittoon, but it was used to solve all his urination and defecation.

Always eat well, with the most comfortable Gu Lingbo, how can you stand such treatment?

He just felt that the future was bleak and that he would be disgusted to death in the future.

Thinking of this, he felt ashamed and angry to die, so while the prison guards were talking hot, he untied his clothes and tied them to the iron bar in the small window on the wall, and he killed himself in a sitting position.

Gu Lingbo was not found on the day of his death.

The next day, when jigo wanted to interrogate him again, the prison guard found that he had committed suicide.

They reported it to Zigo. Ji Ge didn't feel anything in his heart. He sent an order to the Yamen to find someone in Gu's house and take Gu Lingbo's body back.

Mrs. Gu and Yanwu were shocked by the news.

They didn't expect that Gu Lingbo had already cut himself off before waiting for their rescue methods. They dragged Gu Lingbo's body back to the house in tears.

Looking at the bleak scene in the house, they were speechless.

They have no spare money to bury Gu Lingbo, but now it is early autumn, and the body will soon smell rotten.

They hastily dug a hole in the backyard and buried Gu Lingbo.

After eating brown rice and wild vegetables for two days, Mrs. Gu felt she couldn't stand it.

Her delicate body is used to delicacies.

Thinking about the time a few days ago, she arrived at the bird's nest because the servant girls cooked it a little rotten. She punished the servant girls once, but now she wants to come, but she feels very pity.

She doesn't know that her life is very good now.

In fact, Gu's house has no silver at all. It has been checked by Ji Ge. What is left to Mrs. Gu is only some gold and silver jewelry. After those jewelry are sold, they don't have much money. She can afford to eat now because servant girl Ruyi took out her private money for many years.

However, she was still dissatisfied and wanted to return to her previous luxurious life.

She went out to borrow money from her relatives, but was beaten out. She felt very ashamed. When she returned to the house, she wanted to hang a beam and commit suicide.

Fortunately, Ruyi came back early today and found it and saved her in time.

Mrs. Gu did not thank her. She cried and beat Ruyi, saying:

"What do you want me to do? Now the life of pigs and dogs is not as good as that of dogs. I live only to suffer. You still let me get rid of it early and go to the paradise as soon as possible."

She was crying, but she tightly grabbed Ruyi's sleeve.

At the moment of suffocation, she realized that she had a lot of things she wanted to do. She was only half of her life. She thought of her life in a moment and didn't want to leave the world early.

Ruyi comforts Mrs. Gu softly.

After that, she asked Mrs. Gu to have a good rest at home and continue to find temporary jobs to support her family.

Mrs. Gu's situation is not very bad, but Yanwu is even worse.

Her confidants, however, accompany her because she is spoiled. Now, without Gu Lingbo, the slaves ransacked everything in her house. Yanwu couldn't accept this reality and wandered around the town.

People in the town saw that her clothes were messy. The original exquisite bun had been scattered, and all the decorations on it had been robbed.

She is now the most famous young widow in the town. The hooligans in the town have long aimed at her and always want to start. Now they want to tie her up when they see her walking alone in the town.

Ruyi happens to see that he drives away the hooligans and sends Yanwu back to Gu's house.

As soon as she saw the situation in Yanwu courtyard, she knew that Yanwu was worse than Mrs. Gu. She asked the villagers of Anjia village to tell yuan about Yanwu and wanted her to come and pick him up.

Yuan had known about Gu Lingbo's arrest for a long time, but she was afraid that Yanwu would be involved, so she hid at home and never went out or inquired about the news in the town for a long time. When the villagers of Anjia village told her about Yanwu's experience, she began to worry about Yanwu and went to Gu's house to pick it up.

But Yanwu walked in single clothes for a long time in the town and had a high fever at night. She talked nonsense when she had a high fever and thought she was the fourth aunt of the family.

She kept repeating:

"You dare to treat me like this. When master Gu comes out, I must clean you up. You've stripped your skin."

"Those things are mine. Don't touch her. They're all mine."

"Ah, don't fight, don't fight, it hurts, mom, I hurt."

Yuan looked at Yanwu painfully, held her hand tightly, comforted her, and whispered in her ear:

"Yanwu, my good daughter. Well, it's okay. They're all gone. My mother is here with you. You don't have to worry. My mother will protect you well."

The tragedy of the Chen family soon spread all over the village.

Lin Jinyan also knows the tragedy of Yanwu and tells Muyun.

Mu Yun sneers:

"The Chen family deserve it. Who wants them to spend their time in camp and think about laziness and inexhaustible money?"
