Chapter 127(1/2)
Lord Guo and the prefect come to Jiang's house together.
There was a team of gentlemen accompanying him to check the Jiang family’s accounts.
Mr. Jiang looked calm and smiled. He welcomed the person into the hall, "Please sit down, two sirs."
Lord Guo sat down.
The prefect handed Mr. Jiang a wink, letting him take care of himself.
Mr. Jiang's expression remained unchanged, but instead mentioned, "The account books are all in the warehouse. You can stay here for a while and wait for the accounts to be checked before going back."
Lord Guo ignored Mr. Jiang, but asked the accompanying gentleman to go to the warehouse to check the accounts.
Mr. Jiang was not angry and took the lead.
The prefect Cao knew that the Jiang family was not clean. When this incident happened, he was affected by some of the impact and could only help cover it up.
"Mr. Guo, the accounts in the past five years will take at least a few days. Why not place them in Jiang's Mansion so as not to go back and forth?" Cao's prefect hopes that Mr. Jiang can catch up with Lord Guo. For some minor problems, he can turn a blind eye.
"Yes, the residence is ready." Mr. Jiang said.
Lord Guo smiled and said, "No need, I will not only check your family. This time I will make full preparations and bring thirty gentlemen to check the accounts. Within two days, these books will be roughly able to be found."
Mr. Jiang's smile froze and stopped persuading each other.
Lord Guo drank a cup of tea, joined the team in person, and checked the accounts together.
The accounts were checked for two days and one night, and on the evening of the next day, the accounts were finally checked.
When they came, they saw the accounts sent by the Jiang family to the capital with money in previous years, with a difference of one million taels.
Lord Guo closed the last general ledger, looked solemn, and said to dozens of accountants: "Thank you all for your hard work, you go back to the station to rest for two days."
The gentlemen stood up and said goodbye.
Lord Guo sealed all the checked accounts and asked the soldiers to carry them to the post station.
The Jiang family has been in panic these two days, and Mrs. Jiang can't eat well or sleep well.
Now that I saw the account being found out, I didn't dare to relax in one breath.
"Sir, we are all honest and dedicated jade merchants. They give money to the court according to regulations every year. They never dare to make fake accounts and fill their personal pockets! You have to be careful!" Mrs. Jiang saw Mrs. Guo coming out and quickly complained, "This is a fat man. The Jiang family relies on the jade merchants to build the family. Many people are jealous and want to harm the Jiang family. We look at the scenery, but there are actually too many troubles."
Lord Guo sneered, "There is a million tael difference between the accounts in your warehouse and the accounts sent to Beijing. Where is this money used? Come to the prince and report it!"
Mrs. Jiang's expression suddenly changed, "Hundreds...million taels?" She looked at Mr. Jiang in shock, "Master, is this...this silver in our hands?"
Mr. Jiang was also shocked and denied, "I dare not ignorant of this money with my great courage! There must be another misunderstanding in the middle!"
"This is all from your mansion's accounts. Can there be any misunderstanding?" Mr. Guo was selfless and asked someone to tie Mr. Jiang up. "The jade mine was blown up, and the people from the Dongjiang Navy captured the thief who destroyed the jade mine. After interrogation, they confessed that they were the water thief, and they colluded with you many times to steal hundreds of thousands of taels of official silver and three thousand stones of food and grass. The evidence was conclusive! You have to argue, if you do not admit your guilt, you will go to justice to seek justice!"
Mr. Jiang refused to believe it, "If I had ignored this huge amount of silver, why would the mansion be so simple? When the prince was about to check the accounts, I had already used this amount of silver to eliminate disasters!" Mr. Jiang refused to believe it, "Sir, there must be a misunderstanding! These accounts are all accounts made by my son-in-law!"
He stopped a box carried by the soldier, tore open the seal, and took out the accounts inside, "In the rainy season, the warehouse leaked, and all the boxes containing the account books were soaked in rain. The account books grew moldy and dizzy. My son-in-law was very hardworking and willing to work hard, and had real talents and knowledge. I handed over the copying of the accounts to him! Who knew that a few days after the accounts were copied, the son-in-law and my daughter returned to Baoyuan Mansion City to meet his parents. He quarreled with my daughter and broke my daughter's limbs. Today, there was a huge mistake in the account. I suspect that he was deliberately framed and revenge!"
Lord Guo frowned, "Why did he take revenge on you? You are his Yue family. If he makes false accounts, he will inevitably be involved. This is called digging his own grave."
Mr. Jiang sighed, "This matter is a long story. My son-in-law is Bai Qifu's youngest son in Shiping Village, Qingshui Town, Baoyuan Fucheng. His sister is Bai Wei. She participated in the competition and made her mark in the jade industry. I imitated several of her jade artifacts, and the two formed a grudge because of this."
"The little girl was saved by Bai Li. Bai Li had a crush on her daughter, so he asked me for marriage. I did not agree to this marriage because of this holiday. But in order to repay her kindness, the little girl insisted on marrying him despite my opposition. Bai Li's parents also disagreed with this marriage and could not let go of this old grudge. Bai Li cut off contact with the Bai family for the sake of her daughter. I cherish my daughter and couldn't bear to suffer outside, so I took the couple back to the Jiang family. Bai Li was harmonious and soon gained my trust. I believe that once he had a deep affection for his daughter, he would have the heart to cultivate him!"
Mr. Jiang was very angry, "It was not until now that I realized that Bai Li had already had a game with Bai Wei, deliberately let Bai Li save his daughter, become the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and then break off his kindness with the Bai family, gain my trust, and frame me!"
"Mr. Guo, please be careful and don't let the villain succeed!" Mr. Jiang said in the end, and burst into tears in excitement.
"I will go and verify what you said in person!" Lord Guo did not believe Mr. Jiang's words.
The prince relies on Bai Meng, and the Jiang family is masturbated, and he will take over by Bai Wei.
He had to suspect that Mr. Jiang had already learned the news and deliberately bit Bai Wei.
After all, the evidence for Mr. Jiang colluding with the Shui Pirates is conclusive!
It’s nothing more than Lord Guo’s suspicion of him!
Mr. Jiang gave Mrs. Jiang a wink.
Mrs. Jiang shed tears silently, "If you don't believe me, you can follow me to see the little girl."
Lord Guo nodded, followed Mrs. Jiang and went to see Jiang Shan.
When he walked into the yard, he heard the maid sobbing and said, "Miss, you have a hard life. You treat your son-in-law with your heart. In the end, his feelings for you are all a scam. Not only did he break your limbs cruelly, but he also wanted to cause the Jiang family to suffer a catastrophe!"
Jiang Shan cried.
The maid cursed Bai Li intermittently and scolded him for being a disheartened man, but Lord Guo couldn't listen and turned around and walked out.
Mrs. Jiang felt panicked.
Lord Guo said meaningfully: "You Jiang's family treats the people with kindness."
Mrs. Jiang's heart skipped a beat and she felt the smell.
Everything will turn back when extremes!
When ordinary people encounter such tragedies in the world, they are afraid that anyone who mentions them will touch their nerves and become crazy, so it is better to avoid talking about it. The maid next to Jiang Shan is better, and every word is poking Jiang Shan's heart. Jiang Shan's emotions are not very intense...
Mr. Jiang was also secretly shocked. This Lord Guo is extraordinary!
Don't fool it!
——
Lord Guo did not show mercy, but instead arrested and brought to justice for the crimes of colluding with the Jiang family and thieves, blew up jade mines, and looting official silver and food.
Because of this incident involving Mr. Jiang, Lord Guo did not return to Beijing immediately to report his life, but went to Baoyuan Mansion to investigate the truth of the account.
When Bai Wei received the news, she didn't say much. She took Lord Guo to see Mr. Bai and took him back to Shiping Village to learn the truth about the night from the people.
The middleman said to Lord Guo, "The Jiang family is not kind. In order to seize Bai Wei's business, he seized the opportunity and imitated Bai Wei's works for sale. Fortunately, Bai Wei was smart and did not succeed by the Jiang family. However, when the Bai family declined, how could he compare with the Jiang family? Fortunately, Bai Wei has a good life and is worthy of the emperor. Only when the emperor supports the adults from the palace can the Jiang family give up, otherwise the Bai family will definitely suffer."
"Bai Li married the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Our neighbors don't know about this. Bai Wei came back from the capital and saw Bai Li marrying the Jiang family daughter, but refused to agree. Bai Li left the Bai family, and the two elders were heartbroken. Not long ago, the couple came back. Bai Li's wife drove away in the middle of the night. Bai Qifu chased him out and was beaten by his daughter-in-law. Bai Li was also very injured. The jade carvings that Bai Wei carved for the emperor were smashed by Bai Li's wife. Fortunately, the Bai family's son-in-law arrived in time at that time, otherwise Bai Qifu and Bai Li would not have any life."
Lord Guo visited several neighbors one after another, roughly the same.
He could vaguely guess that perhaps the Jiang family had always held a grudge against the Bai family because of imitating jade. And because the prince wanted to re-invest the Jiang family, the Bai family was the one who benefited, he deliberately set up a bureau and married Jiang Shan to Bai Li.
If Jiang Shan had not destroyed the jade carved by Bai Wei for Emperor Xiyue, he might not have been so sure.
Bai Wei whispered to Master Guo: "If you don't believe it, there is a case, you can check it!"
Lord Guo looked at Bai Wei.
"On the day of the incident, I was reported to the prefecture in the shop in the city. The jade bracelet was poisonous and caused people to fall into a coma. I wanted to investigate and find out the truth. The Shen family refused to show up and threatened to wait for Mrs. Shen to wake up before the trial. At that time, I felt suspicious, afraid that someone would deliberately lead me to the city, so I was at home. Sure enough, something happened to my father the next day after I rushed back. If I were at home, Bai Li and Jiang Shan could not enter the Bai family at all. Even if they entered the Bai family, Jiang Shan could not take the jade away." Bai Wei took Lord Guo back to the town.
Xie Yuzhuo told Bai Wei about the investigation, "I blocked the Shen family and bribed the maid from the Shen family. I kept silent before. I changed my way to get the news. Mrs. Shen was not unconscious."
Lord Guo was intrigued, "How did you get the news?"
During this sensitive period, the people of the Shen family should be cautious, so how could they be easily crippled?
Xie Yuzhuo said proudly: "I told her that I am a butcher, and I slaughtered livestock meat every day, so that she can make it convenient. I supply her with goods and give her more benefits. Hey, she said that Mrs. Shen believes in Buddhism, and she eats vegetarian food in the mansion, and does not eat meat. Only Mrs. Shen eats meat, but take care of Mrs. Shen's distant cousin's business, and asks me to go to another house to ask."
"I asked someone to stare at the Shen family again and saw someone delivering meat to the Shen family. Mrs. Shen is unconscious, why should she eat meat? At that time, I asked someone to find out the background of Mrs. Shen's cousin, bribed his cousin's friend, and invited Mrs. Shen to have a drink. She got drunk and said clichés. Mrs. Shen is really not in a coma!"
Bai Wei frowned, "We're probably going to alert the enemy."
The Shen family will definitely get a letter, and Mrs. Chen should wake up.
Lord Guo said in a deep voice: "If you deliberately frame accusation, don't worry, I will give you justice."
"Sir, this Shen family is the side branch of Marquis Weiyuan." Bai Wei raised her lips slightly with a hint of ridicule.
Lord Guo didn’t expect that things were so difficult!
"Do you dare to give us justice?" Bai Wei's words were provocative.
Lord Guo was not angry, he shook his head, "The biggest official in this world is beyond the Tian family."
Leaving this sentence, Lord Guo got up and left.
Xie Yuzhuo scratched his head, "My sister Wei, what does this Lord Guo mean? Is this helping, or not?" He said to himself, "If it were me, I would definitely not have wade into muddy waters."
Bai Wei raised her hand and blew her chestnut and knocked on Xie Yuzhuo's forehead, "Who will Lord Guo do for?"
Xie Yuzhuo suddenly realized that Lord Guo was the crown prince, and Marquis Weiyuan could have been the crown prince?
He couldn't help but be happy, "This time the Jiang family is over!"
No!
Marquis Weiyuan will also get angry!
Bai Wei's face was like Leng Shuang. The one she wanted to attack was never the Jiang family, but the Weiyuan Hou who was the leader of the Jiang family!
Wei Yuanhou sent such a big handle, she didn't make good use of it and let the evenly matched Lord Guo take a skin, and it would be difficult to swallow this breath!
"Are you going to go back to the county town?" Xie Yuzhuo sent Bai Wei out and saw a figure not far away, and couldn't help but frown.
Bai Wei looked along his gaze and saw a woman in coarse cloth clothes, her face covered with a wide cloth towel, only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring at her, as if she wanted to step forward, but was hesitating again.
"Don't pay attention, I met this person in the capital city. When I came back from the capital city, she kept wandering in front of the shop door, but didn't come forward to get close to me, so I ignored it. I just wanted to be stared at me, afraid that she was sent by the Shen family." Xie Yuzhuo was very disgusted with the Shen family.
Bai Wei felt that she was not from the Shen family, and she did not see any malice in the eyes of the woman.
