Tianyuan Fenghuajing

Chapter 113 Catch the Sinner
After Yuan's words, her voice became softer. It turned out that it was the yamen servant who was pressing down on her, using a lot of strength, which made her feel dangerous.

"You don't want to pay compensation? Then put you in prison!"

Before Mu Yun could say anything, a voice came in.

When the two were having trouble before, Mu Yun asked the staff to invite Ji Ge.

Mu Yun saw Ji Ge smiled and said:
"You're here."

Ji Ge nodded, turned his head to look at the two people who were pressed on the ground, his originally gentle face instantly became stern.

Yuan Shi didn't want to go to prison, so she lowered her body and said:

"I am willing to compensate! Isn't it just five taels of silver? I will give it to you now.

As she spoke, she picked out some of the silver taels hidden in the secret pocket.

Seeing that she has so much money, Mu Yun thought to herself: If I had known earlier, I should have paid her more. Five taels of silver is still too cheap for them.

After Yuan paid the money, Mu Yun turned her attention to Mrs. Gu.

Madam Gu was still scolding her at the door of her shop before, but now she is kneeling in front of her, Mu Yun felt a sense of joy in her heart

Mu Yun stretched out her hand to her and shook it, beckoning her to pay the money quickly.

Madam Gu looked at her coldly.

Five taels of silver is not a lot to her, but if she pays the money, it is equivalent to a compromise with her, and she also admits her guilt. She didn't want to bow her head in front of Mu Yun, so she gritted her teeth and refused to hand over the money. hand over.

"Since she has already paid you compensation, why should I pay?"

Yuan Shi didn't expect Mrs. Gu to be so shameless, her eyes widened.

But Mu Yun sneered and said:
"Her compensation is her compensation, and of course you have to pay the same share."

"What kind of nonsense is this? You clearly said that it was five taels of silver in total."

Ji Ge has already seen that something is wrong with Mu Yun, and he doesn't bother to argue with Madam Gu any longer, and motions the yamen servant to pull Madam Gu up:
"Since you don't want to pay, follow me to the jail."

Mrs. Gu has never been to a prison cell since she was a child, but she knows that such a place must not be used by people.

She frowned and said:

"Could it be that the government office in the town already has the surname Lin?"

Seeing that she wanted to challenge his prestige, Ji Ge sneered and said:

"It's obvious that you made a mistake first, but you still slandered this official. It seems that in addition to mobilizing a crowd to make trouble, you have to add another crime-slandering the county magistrate. The sum of these two crimes is enough for you to spend a year in prison It's here! Someone, take me away."

Seeing that he was going to be serious, Mrs. Gu immediately begged for mercy and took out the money.

But she threw the silver taels on the ground viciously, as if sending a beggar.

Mu Yun saw her action, and kicked the few taels of silver to the corner.

There were several beggars lying in the corner.

They took a look at Mu Yun, picked up the silver taels, and ran away quickly.

Mu Yun looked at Madam Gu proudly and said:
"Oh, you are so generous. So much money is directly rewarded to those beggars. Then my compensation should be a small amount to you, right?"

Mrs. Gu almost fainted from anger. The money she gave just now was just to humiliate Mu Yun, but Mu Yun did not expect Mu Yun to use her tricks and directly gave the silver taels to those beggars. Instead, she asked herself to ask for money again, and Ji Ge was indifferent, obviously supporting her.

Madam Gu could only grit her teeth, took out five taels of silver again, and handed it to Mu Yun.

Mu Yun looked at the yamen servant and let Madam Gu and Yuan Shi go, with a sad expression on her face.

This happened to me this morning...

Ji Ge had already seen that Mu Yun was out of shape.

Usually, Mu Yun is eloquent, and when it comes to calculating accounts, she is comparable to three accountants.But today, just for compensation, even if she made a mistake, she almost let Mrs. Gu take advantage of the loophole to avoid compensation.

Normally, this would never happen.

Mu Yun's behavior has been very normal these past few days, Ji Ge thought she was not influenced by Gu Lingbo, but he didn't expect that Mu Yun just didn't show it.

Ji Ge secretly vowed in his heart that he must find Gu Lingbo's flaws, make good use of them, and try to sue Gu Lingbo until he can no longer straighten up!

At this moment, Lin Jinyan happened to come to the shop.

It was also because Mu Yun had experienced such a bad thing before, he had ended his hunting early in the past few days and came to the shop to accompany Mu Yun.

When Ji Ge saw him, he told him what happened just now, and asked him to take good care of Mu Yun, while he rushed to the government office immediately, and asked everyone to speed up and thoroughly investigate the matter of Gu Lingbo.

Ever since Mu Yun was wronged, Ji Ge has been investigating Gu Lingbo, and he has made some progress now.But it couldn't really hit Gu Lingbo.

Mu Yun's performance today let him know that if Gu Lingbo can't be dealt with early, Mu Yun will definitely be affected by Gu Lingbo for a long time, so he can only speed up his pace and get rid of Gu Lingbo as soon as possible.

Probably God was helping him. He had just sped up his progress when he discovered a butler that Gu Lingbo had dismissed.

The butler was very loyal to the Gu family and had been in the position of the Gu family's housekeeper for decades, but he was kicked out of the Gu family because of the fire in Gu Lingbo's backyard.He had had a long-standing grudge against Gu Lingbo, and after hearing about his recent evil deeds, he immediately stood up and wanted to "destroy relatives with righteousness".

A few days later, as he accelerated the speed of collecting data and evidence, he gradually discovered that Gu Lingbo was corrupt and broke the law, and the amount of silver he had embezzled had far exceeded the acceptable range of the law.

He discussed Gu Lingbo's crimes with the master in the mansion and quantified her punishment.

When he was sure that all the crimes committed by Gu Lingbo were enough for him to beat Gu Lingbo to death directly at Gu's house without getting involved in a lawsuit, he knew it was time to go to Gu's house to arrest Gu Lingbo.

He sent all the people in the government office to the Gu family.

A group of people arrived in front of Gu's mansion in a mighty manner.

He asked the yamen servants to knock open the door of Gu's mansion directly, saving the trouble of knocking on the door.

The guard at the gate wanted to scold at first, to see who had the guts to break open the gate of the Gu family, but he saw Ji Ge standing outside the gate with dozens of people with a cold expression on his face.

He was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Squeezing out a smile stiffly, he said tremblingly:
"Master... the county magistrate, you... why are you here?"

"Gu Lingbo is corrupt and commits crimes. He has committed a heinous crime that cannot be punished. We have come here specially to arrest the criminal."

When he heard that Ji Ge had put so many prefixes on Gu Lingbo's head, he turned pale with fright, and ran to Gu Lingbo's yard like hell.

As he ran, he yelled:
"Master, the master is not good, the county magistrate is here to arrest you!"

Fortunately, the kid didn't say anything to let the master run away, otherwise, Ji Ge would have definitely taken him into prison.

But the boy's performance already showed that he also knew some of the things Gu Lingbo had done, and he felt ashamed, that's why he was so afraid.

At this time, Gu Lingbo hadn't woken up yet, and was about to have a morning sleep with Yanwu.Hearing the yelling of the servant outside the door, he frowned and hurriedly put on a piece of clothing.

Opening the door, he asked:
"What county magistrate came to arrest me, and I didn't..."

He was about to say something when he felt a chill on his neck.

But there was a yamen servant holding a long gun and put it on his neck.

At that moment, Gu Lingbo thought that Ji Ge was disregarding Mu Yun's reputation and wanted to announce what he did before, but he thought that Ji Ge was not such a person.

He said with some hope:
"Master County Magistrate, is there some misunderstanding between us? What is the purpose of your coming to the mansion today?"

He spoke these few words calmly, if it weren't for the trembling of his exposed limbs because of his disheveled clothes, everyone would definitely think that he really didn't do anything wrong.

"There is no misunderstanding. We have found a lot of evidence to prove that you are corrupt and broke the law. You embezzled a lot of money and did all kinds of evil things. Today I will arrest you and bring you to justice!"

As soon as Ji Ge finished speaking, a government servant came up to put shackles on Gu Lingbo.

Where can Gu Lingbo agree?He ignored the scars on his neck and chest from the spear, and refused to put the shackles on himself.

He struggled and said:

"Lord county magistrate, there must be a misunderstanding! Our Gu family are genuinely good citizens, how could we do something outrageous? Don't listen to the villain, you have wronged us..."

He spoke these few words very quickly, like a string of beads.

But Ji Ge didn't want to play tricks on him anymore, so he interrupted:

"In the past few years, you have been coaxing those people who don't know how to run a business. After defrauding them of their money, you have been evading the loss of the store, and finally forced some people's families to die. I investigated secretly, and the complaints I got filled the whole house. If you don't believe me, you can go to the mansion with me to take a look. This is just a witness, and the physical evidence comes from the housekeeper you fired a year ago. The housekeeper is loyal, but after I found him, I told you what you have done in the past few years , he immediately gave me all the fake accounts you made before."

Gu Lingbo didn't expect that Ji Ge had prepared so thoroughly, but he didn't want to go to jail, so he insisted that he was wronged.

He was crying and looking very ugly.

Ji Ge turned his face away, no longer looking at his ugly face.

Seeing that Ji Ge was frowning tightly, the master next to him continued his words:

"After our investigation, the value of the money you have been greedy over the years is nearly one million taels, which has reached the highest amount of fraud in the law. Even if we kill you here at this moment, it is also in accordance with the law. If you resist, don't Blame us for being cruel."

Master Gu was shocked when he heard this.

They found out so much money, which is incredible.

If what Ji Ge finds out is true, then his culpability is too heavy, and it is estimated that he will go to jail.Over the years, he has been drinking and drinking, and he doesn't know how much money he has spent, nor how much money he has cheated.

The accounts in the past were all handled by the former housekeeper—that is, the housekeeper who betrayed himself now, and he didn't know the details in detail.But he always felt that he was not as rich as Ji Ge said.

"You are lying, how can there be so much silver in my house?"

"The accounts are all in the government office. If you don't believe me, we can check them one by one."

"It was you who planned to frame me and made false accounts, and wanted me to go to jail!" Gu Lingbo no longer cared about it. He struggled desperately to avoid the shackles of those yamen servants. On the ground, rubbing the floor and backing away, "I didn't cheat so much money. I didn't know that I didn't have that much money. You must have lied to me, so I won't be deceived by you."

"Since you still don't give up...bring him up." Ji Ge said backwards.

A few yamen servants walked in with a person Gu Lingbo knew very well.

When the man saw Gu Lingbo, he felt a little guilty at first, but then he puffed up his chest after thinking of something.
