When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 15 Chapter 15 If you don't use your power, it will be invalid after the expiration date
"Gu Hua, I am an old man who has served your father and helped him many times during his business trips. If you dare to send me to the government.

Aren't you afraid that the servants of the Gu Mansion, or the managers and shopkeepers who help the Gu family run the shop, will think that you are cruel and heartless, and no one will be able to sincerely help you in the future. "

Gu Hua's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he curled up the corners of his mouth nonchalantly, listening to Ma Cunde's shouting. He somewhat understood why the original owner had tolerated these people many times in the past three years, allowing them to do whatever they wanted and embezzle the money for the purchase of goods from the shop.

They even resold the imported goods at a discount to their business rivals, reported them as losses, and got compensation for store operating expenses from the original owners.

The original owner had to endure the unclear true or false relationship between these people and her father, and she didn't want the store her parents had worked so hard to open to go bankrupt, so she could only use the money from the private treasury in the mansion to subsidize the store.

"..."

Gu Hua didn't know what to say.

In my memory, the original owner wasn’t stupid either!

How could one do such a stupid thing as feeding the wolf with one's own body, which would only whet the wolf's appetite?

The five or six accountants they brought with them, with the help of Su Fuying and Gu Chen, who were also good at accounting, finally sorted out the accounts of these shops for the first three months of the new year before lighting the lamps.

"Reporting to the young master, we have found many false accounts in the account books. We have already drawn them for your review."

After that, no matter how Ma Cunde and the other shopkeepers used personal connections and moral blackmail,

Gu Hua has only one attitude.

"..."As long as she has no morals, no one can kidnap her.

After reading the account book, he decisively ordered Mu Feng to go to Guangning County Government Office to explain the situation and call the officials, who then took Ma Cunde and the five shopkeepers, along with several shop assistants, back to the government office.

When the guys recognized Gu Hua and his companions as the customers who had been to their store before, and were either humiliated or scolded by them, they regretted it so much that they wanted to sew their mouths shut with needle and thread.

Maybe there would be no possibility of imprisonment.

Gu Hua knew that most of the clerks in these shops were relatives of the shop owners, and they had embezzled a lot of money in the Gu family shops over the years. Since he wanted to clean out the pests in the shops, he might as well deal with them all at once.

When Ma Cunde and his companions were taken away by the police, they looked fearless. Gu Hua frowned, as if thinking about something.

So he waved his cousin Gu Chen over and whispered something to him.

Sure enough, not long after, Gu Chen brought back the news that when he went to the Guangning County Court, Ma Cunde and his companions had said something to the yamen runners and were about to be taken to the back court to meet the Guangning County Magistrate Wu Dong.

Gu Hua said coldly, "You want to bribe the officials and walk out of the government office without losing a penny, and continue to spend the money you got from my Gu family and live a happy life, without even asking the head of the family whether he agrees or not."

At this moment, her eyes were intelligent and she exuded a murderous and decisive temperament, shocking everyone present.

"My cousin is so domineering." Gu Chen couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's broad daylight, why are you talking nonsense?" Gu Hua joked with his cousin Gu Chen, and then turned into an approachable and easy-going person, asking, "What did Magistrate Wu say when I asked you to tell him?"

"I was just about to tell you about this." Gu Chen's eyes and eyebrows were filled with pride.

"Wu, the newly transferred county magistrate of Guangning County, learned that my cousin's uncle was an official in the capital and immediately promised to handle the matter impartially and severely punish those shopkeepers who embezzled the master's money for their own benefit."

Thinking of the aggrieved look on County Magistrate Wu's face when he heard what Gu Hua asked him to convey, he knew that his cousin guessed right.

Perhaps Ma Cunde and his men really wanted to bribe the county magistrate to escape the blame, which is why they were summoned by Magistrate Wu who also wanted to accept bribes. However, Magistrate Wu only wanted to keep his official hat secure this time. He would have to think twice if he wanted to take money to protect a few people.

After all, Gu Hua's uncle was a Yuwenlang in the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. Although he was only a fifth-rank official and not a high-ranking official in the imperial city, he was in charge of the appointment, assessment, promotion, demotion, transfer and other affairs of officials across the country.

Which official who doesn't have a strong backer would dare to easily offend officials working in the Ministry of Personnel? It's not that he thinks his official career is too smooth and wants to make things difficult for himself by taking a detour.

At this time, there were only three people in the main room: Gu Hua, Gu Chen, and Su Fuying.

"Aren't you afraid that doing this will bring trouble to your uncle?"

Gu Hua glanced at Su Fuying and asked calmly, "Did I do anything?"

Su Fuying choked.

Only then did he realize that apart from asking Gu Chen to tell Magistrate Wu that her uncle was a Beijing official, Gu Hua seemed to have done nothing else, and yet it also seemed as if she had done everything.

After being frightened, Guangning County Magistrate Wu Dong did not dare to accept bribes to protect Ma Cunde and his group of shopkeepers and employees when handling the next case, and he did not have any handle for the other party to catch.

Because Ma Cunde and his people embezzled their employer's money, colluded with outsiders to resell their employer's goods, the evidence of their crimes was handed over to the government along with these people when they were taken away.

As a senior official, isn't it the duty of County Magistrate Wu to handle matters impartially?

Therefore, there is no such thing as Gu Hua using his uncle's power to bully others.

"If you don't use your power, it will become useless after it expires." Gu Hua took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Since you can just lie down and get the job done, why not use it?"

"That makes sense," Su Fuying was speechless for a moment.

That night, Gu Hua instructed Su Fuying and Gu Chen to spread the news that Ma Cunde and several other shop owners in Guangning County had been sent to jail by him, and to have someone inform the shop owners of Gu's shops in other counties.

Gu Hua's move caused a huge uproar.

As soon as the restless shop owners in other counties got wind of this news, they all started to move like ants on a hot pan, because no matter how perfect the fake accounts were, there would be flaws if they were checked carefully.

The shopkeeper, who didn't want to be sent to jail for free meals, began to think of ways to take out the money that he had embezzled from the store in the past to make up for the losses in the account.

It was said that Gu Hua was very decisive in Guangning County and he brutally treated Ma Cunde, who had followed his father around the country to do business, and sent him to jail.

The shopkeepers who were unable to pay out the embezzled money or were unwilling to hand over the money they had pocketed, all began to pack up and prepare to flee, hoping to give Gu Hua a chance to take away all their money and put an end to it.

In the minds of those who escaped, the young master, who was easily influenced and indecisive, was simply a waste.

Next, Gu Hua led people to inspect the stores and check the accounts.

I saw that many shopkeepers did not care about the original owner's soft-heartedness and only wanted to take advantage of her youth. If the original owner had lost her money and goods, and the black-hearted shopkeeper absconded with the money, I wonder if she would regret her indulgence and kindness towards them.

Some shopkeepers thought that even if they were caught, they would be let off as long as they begged for mercy.

However, he was sent to jail by Gu Hua, a little lamb who seemed easy-going but a big bad wolf who was cold-hearted and decisive in killing. He was shocked to find that he had underestimated his importance in the young master's heart.

Gu Hua believed that he had sent people to inform the elderly people in the Gu family and gave them a chance to make amends. He did not kill them right away, and he had done his best.
