Chapter 108： Sentencing

Hearing Master Chen's questioning, Gu Lang turned his head calmly and looked at him lightly, those light brown eyes full of ignorance of Master Chen ridicule.

Gu Lang slightly raised the corners of his lips, looked at the man in front of him, and said slowly: "Why am I so sure, of course, because the real land deed is with me."

Suddenly hearing this news, Master Chen's eyes widened suddenly, he took a few steps back, looked at Gu Lang and murmured: "Impossible, how could it be? The Gu family was so ruined back then. Thoroughly, how could there be anything left?"

After finishing speaking, Master Chen seemed to realize that he seemed to have said something wrong, and immediately closed his mouth.

Gu Lang raised his eyes and looked at the man with a surprised look in front of him, and continued lightly: "Are you trying to say that our Gu family was looted by bandits, burned down, and then invaded by homeless people. Enter, even if there is anything valuable, it is impossible to keep it until now?”

Master Chen didn't answer when he heard what he said, but his flickering eyes betrayed his thoughts at the moment.

thing.

Gu Lang didn't seem to hear the discussion around him, just stared at Master Chen indifferently, watching him stand uneasy, as if he was recalling something, and said in a leisurely tone :

"My family was in great distress that day, my mother took me to the backyard and listened to the screams in the front yard, knowing that they would not let her go, so she hid the house The places of gold, silver and land deeds told me that I would still have capital to live on in the future.

I was lucky to survive, after a few years, although it was difficult, I came back. Fortunately, although most of the places where my parents hid things have been taken away, there is still a small part left, and this title deed is part of it. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Lang slowly took out three land deeds from his pocket that were slightly chipped and looked old.

After seeing Gu Lang handing the land deed to the county magistrate above, there was a commotion in the crowd, and the expression on seeing the old man became strange.

"I said that the Chen family was just a small family back then, how did they become so rich all of a sudden."

"That's right, I also watched their family happily accept those stores, I was still wondering why this Chen family is so generous, and it's all for nothing. ."

"This Chen family is really shameless. They are still in-laws with the Gu family. It's fine if they don't help.

Those voices were not loud, but they sounded like needles after another in Master Chen's ears, poking straight at his heart.

After the county magistrate read the three-point land deed and determined that the three land deeds were true, he looked at the people standing below and whispered: "These three land deeds are all Really, Master Chen, what else do you have to say now?"

Master Chen pursed his dry lips, opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. He doesn't know what to say now, can he still make a quibble, or directly admit that the shop belongs to Gu Lang and the others?

Gu Lang didn't plan to let him go. Seeing Mr. Chen standing there, he didn't seem to know what to say, and he seemed to be thinking about what to say, so he simply preceded Chen. The master opened his mouth.

"Originally, I planned to take this land deed to Mr. Chen, and I wanted to negotiate to see if he could return the shop, so that I could also make an additional income." Gu Lang said this He was very calm, as if he didn't think there was any problem at all, but the person next to him frowned because of his words.

"It's just that I discovered something later that made me very uneasy, so I didn't say anything, because it was obviously better than what my parents left me. It's more important to live."

The amount of information revealed by Gu Lang's remarks is a bit huge. As soon as he heard it, he knew that he still had a lot of secrets to tell, which directly tickled people's hearts.

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly: "Young Master Gu, if you have anything to say, if the official is here, how can he decide for you!!"

After the man finished yelling, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him, he suddenly realized his rashness, so he shrank his head back and pretended that he didn't say anything just now.

After being yelled at by him, Gu Lang didn't give a **** anymore, and continued: "Because I found out that the shop we are renting now is signed by Mr. Chen."

As soon as his words came out, the people who came to watch were a little disappointed and muttered in dissatisfaction. Since Mr. Chen robbed his shop, it's so strange that this shop belongs to Mr. Chen now, it's just a fuss.

Chen Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect this shop to belong to Mr. Chen. What's even more amazing is that Mr. Chen snatched it from the Gu family, which means that this shop It was Gu Lang.

Thinking of the money it takes to buy a shop, Chen Xing's eyes widened all of a sudden. He didn't expect the poor Gu Lang to become a rich man before he knew it. .

Compared to Chen Xing's shock at Gu Lang's sudden wealth, the county magistrate sitting at the top thought of something, his face became ugly, and there were many eyes on Chen Kind of bad.

Mr. Chen was a little surprised at first. After seeing the ugly face of the county magistrate, he suddenly thought of something, and a bit of panic appeared on his face. In the cool room, on his forehead even appeared A thin bead of sweat came.

Gu Lang didn't seem to see the emotional changes on everyone's faces, and talked about his discoveries to himself, as if he was recalling the process of his own exploration.

"It was not a big deal at first, after all, it can only be regarded as a coincidence at best. I think even if I go to discuss with Mr. Chen about returning the shop, it should not be a big problem. But later , after I learned what happened to the previous owner, I changed my mind."

Hearing this, Master Chen suddenly raised his head to look at Gu Lang, moved the somewhat fat figure, and wanted to stop Gu Lang from what he said next, but unfortunately he didn't wait for him to do something. He was stopped by a quick-witted official.

"Master Chen, don't be impulsive."

Master Chen looked at the tall officials around him, squeezed his fist, but no longer dared to make any moves.

I saw Gu Lang slightly hooked the corner of his lips, looking at Mr. Chen standing there, with a bit of irony in his tone: "This shop was originally run by a female shopkeeper. , but later the female shopkeeper committed a little thing and was sentenced. Perhaps out of his own safety or other reasons, Mr. Chen contributed a lot to this, which made her sentence not heavy at first. became exile.

In the follow-up investigation, I found that Mr. Chen and the female shopkeeper had a friendship for several years. I was thinking at the time, such an unclear relationship can make Master Chen so ruthless in order to take back the shop. I, a person who has no relatives and no foundation, went to Master Chen to ask for a store, didn't I hit the stone with an egg? "

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Chen's eyes a little more complicated, and even remembered the female shopkeeper back then, and was quite indignant After scolding, "I said, the female shopkeeper is weak and weak, even if she is breaking the law, what kind of law can a woman commit, but the punishment is so severe, it turns out that Master Chen is the result of dealing with it."

"It's a pity, such a beautiful woman with a charm, this Master Chen is too cruel."

Compared to the discussions around her, Madam Chen, who was pale because of Chen Linger's sentence, now looked at Master Chen with a bit more strangeness.

When Gu Lang mentioned the proprietress just now, Mrs. Chen suddenly remembered the very favored aunt next to Mr. Chen. That woman and Mr. Chen had a good relationship and was brought back. At the time, she was still pregnant. When she was finished giving birth, she used a pretext to drive the woman out.

What Mrs. Chen didn't expect was that the woman who worked so hard to drive out not only was not as desolate as she imagined, but instead took a lot of severance pay and lived outside Happy days.

Thinking that the woman not only stayed in the city, but also lived a good life, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but start to have other ideas, such as when Mr. Chen was out at night, where was he? Who is there? How many of these outhouses are out there. Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen's eyes became colder when she looked at Master Chen.

Gu Lang didn't seem to notice the movement around him, and he continued to tell about his own mental journey, and even a bit of a wry smile appeared on his face, "If it wasn't for Mr. Chen's pressing too hard, I don't even plan to say this, after all, I just want to live in peace."

Gu Lang was completely persecuted at this time, and vividly portrayed the image of a poor scholar being oppressed by a rich businessman, even Chen Xing, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be right to him. With sympathy, he patted his arm lightly, telling him not to think about those unpleasant memories.

Gu Lang pointed at Chen Xing with a reassuring smile, then looked at the county magistrate above, and continued: "Master Guan, what I want to say is the last thing.

That is when I signed the contract with the person sent by Mr. Chen, but I had seen the contract of the shop. The real deed is with me, so the one in Master Chen's hands is naturally fake. According to the laws of this dynasty, forging official documents is a serious crime! "

Hearing Gu Lang say this, Master Chen's brain exploded with a 'hum', and what he vaguely guessed just now finally came true. He finally knew Gu Lang's purpose. He had done so many things and brought out so many things, and his final purpose was to bite off a large piece of flesh from himself.

Just when Mr. Chen was desperate and the people around him were surprised, the official who had just been called by the county magistrate to identify the document suddenly 'huh', and then suddenly realized: "No wonder, I was looking at the contract I feel a little strange, but I can't find the strange place, it turns out that it is fake."

The county magistrate became angry all of a sudden, he clapped the gavel on his hand, looked at Mr. Chen below, and asked sharply, "What else do you have to say? "

Master Chen looked at the county magistrate with a cold eyebrow above, his wanton eyebrows finally drooped down, he slowly lowered his head, and resignedly admitted: "The grass people have nothing to say."

"Well, in that case, the criminal Chen Bingsheng occupied three shops of the Gu family ten years ago and made fake land deeds. Today, you are sentenced to return those shops within seven days, and you will be sentenced to 20 sticks. And the fine of five thousand taels of gold and silver, can you accept it?"

Hearing what the county magistrate said, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth and responded, "Caominfu."

But he had to give it. If he didn't give it, he estimated that he would spend the rest of his life in a cell.

In an instant, Master Chen seemed to have been emptied of his life, and instantly aged ten years.

When Master Chen was pulled down and punished, Chen Xing stared at his back and shook his head involuntarily.

Chen Xing looked up and saw Gu Langzheng staring at him softly, thinking of what he said in the hall just now, Chen Xing's heart couldn't help softening a little, and he pointed at him Nodding, he replied softly, "Yeah."

Just as the two were walking out together, Mrs. Chen came to them with the help of the maid. After seeing her, Gu Lang took a step forward without a trace. He blocked Chen Xing from behind.

Mrs. Chen didn't even look at Chen Xing, she looked straight at Gu Lang, her eyes were full of resentment, she seemed to want to restrain herself, but she couldn't restrain herself in the end He stopped, he could only lower his voice and said to Gu Lang, "Is this all your revenge?"

Gu Lang looked at the woman in front of him with a calm expression, and there was no emotion in his voice, "What are you talking about, Madam? ."

Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Lang's calm expression with a sinister look. This time she not only lost a daughter, half of her husband's life, but also lost most of their family property. It's all because of this man in front of him!

Mrs. Chen settled on Gu Lang for a while, and finally looked at Chen Xing next to him, sneered, and said disdainfully: "Even he is part of your revenge plan? "

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. He didn't think of his own business. Just when he was about to say something, Mrs. Chen took the maid by her side, turned and left, not at all. He was not given a chance to speak again.

Seeing Mrs. Chen's back leaving, Chen Xing pursed his lips, and then his eyes fell on the person in front of him.
