Chapter 425



425 It’s not because I’ve been instructed!

Lord he concluded the case very quickly. The note provided by Meng Meng was the evidence. Meng Meng himself was the witness, and so were the maidservants and manservants in the back residence of the county government.

That day, there were many servants in the Cheng family who had witnessed the scene of the Cheng and Gu families falling out.

Cheng Rui couldn’t argue.

As for Lord Cheng, in addition to covering up for his son, Lord he had also produced evidence that Lord Cheng had colluded with a group of people who sold illegal salt and ironware. This was a serious crime in the great Zhou Dynasty.

It just so happened that the group of people had been caught and had confessed to several local officials. There was only one master Cheng in the Qingzhou government.

Lord Cheng’s Black Veil was gone on the spot, and he was taken into custody.

His wife and children, with the exception of Cheng Rui, who had committed the crime, were all in prison.

Madam Cheng cried and threw a tantrum, saying that she was wronged. Cheng huaijin held his sister’s hand and entered the cell without crying or throwing a tantrum.

The series of cases involving Gu shouxin’s cheating case didn’t end until 11:00 P. M.

The commoners were still not satisfied. Seeing Lord he’s smiling appearance when he was not trying the case, some of them who were bold asked,”Lord he, will you be the official of our Taoyuan County in the future?”

Lord he shook his head. I have to manage the entire Southwest Prefecture. I can’t be biased towards Taoyuan County! The other counties will say that I’m biased!”

hahahaha! the commoners were amused by his words and said, ” Sir, then can you give some advice to the higher-ups and send us a good official? It doesn’t matter if you’re fierce, just don’t be sanctimonious like Lord Cheng!”

this … Lord he touched his round chin and looked at the people who were looking at him with full attention. He laughed and said, ” I’ll tell you a secret. I’ll secretly give you a biased opinion. Don’t let the people from the other counties know!

“Alright, thank you, my Lord! Thank you, my Lord!”

The commoners were all amused.

Then, Lord he said that it was late and that everyone should go back and rest. He would stay in the county office for a few days to deal with the aftermath. If anyone had any grievances, please come early tomorrow.

The commoners went back happily.

……

“Sister Luo, it’s getting late, I’m afraid you won’t be going back! He’ll be resting in the backyard with second Gu’s wife!” After the people left, Sir he looked at Madam li with a smile.

“Little Lian, do you want to go back?” Madam li turned to ask Cai Xiaolian.

“Little Lian, you stay here with the children and keep sister Luo company! It was not convenient for her to live here alone. I’ll go over to aunt Xiao’s place with Lu Zheng later.” Although Gu shouxin’s plan was perfect, he was still grateful to Madam li for being so cooperative without knowing the situation. She did not stand by and do nothing when she was in such a situation. Such a friend was worth making.

Furthermore, he did not hear a single bad thing about the Li family from Lu Zheng. Instead, he was happy to see Mrs. Li’s relationship with his family. He knew that the Li family would be fine.

For example, when he was with the Cheng family, Lu Zheng’s expression and tone were a little abnormal.

“Yi, where’s mother and aunt Xiao?” Cai Xiaolian found that grandma Gu and grandma Xiao were gone.

“Uncle sent them back! Grandma wants to accompany Grandpa.” Gu Xin said.

“It’s late at night, get some rest! If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it tomorrow morning!” Lord he said, his hands behind his back.

“Deal! Then I will come back tomorrow to thank Lord he!” Gu shouxin cupped his hands at Lord he.

“No need to thank me! This official will do business! It’s not because I’ve been ordered to pay special attention to you!” Lord he raised his fat head and said arrogantly.

Everyone at the scene:
