Chapter 575: Go to Prison
After a comfortable nap, the two woke up separately, and it was still quiet under the verandah outside the house, and the girls were probably still in their own room.
In Gu Yun's clever smug laughter, Bai Ko sat up and tidied up his hair and clothes, went to the back pantry to boil water, and after a while returned to the ear room with the tea tray, Gu Yun was already dressed neatly, grabbed the account book that Bai Ko found out before and read it in his hand, and the two talked about business.
The girls took a nap and went to the ear room to see if the prince was awake, only to hear the sound of the prince and Bai Ko talking from inside at the door, and gently lifted the curtain to see that the two of them were sitting at the low table and discussing things with solemn faces, and there were all kinds of paper scattered on the floor around them, so they then added some fruit and snacks, and changed the tea.
Gu Yun and Bai Ko concentrated on discussing business, as for the few guys who joined forces to steal Bai Ko's recipes, they were all handed over to the chief of the guard to deal with, Wen Gushan and his two buddies definitely couldn't stay any longer, as for Lin Leren, who directly ordered the order, just beat him half to death, because there was no evidence to contact him with Wang Xiaodong, so he could only be beaten to be angry, it was not worth spending the energy of a lawsuit on him, anyway, he was a greedy guy, and it was common for him to drink too much and get into disputes with others.
When the East Kitchen began to prepare dinner, all the cooks and cooks were busy in their positions, and Wen Gushan was no exception, Gu Yun's guards passed at this time, and directly told him that the big masters had already known about his collusion with outsiders to try to steal Bai Ko's private recipes, and his two accomplices had also been caught and confessed.
In a stunned uproar, Wen Gushan's face turned pale, and his whole person was paralyzed on the ground, in order to prevent him from talking nonsense along the way, he not only tied his hands behind his back, but also forcibly gagged his mouth, and was dragged away by two guards left and right.
The personnel of the East Kitchen belong to the public middle school, which is managed by the long house, and it involves Bai Ko, so it is natural for the prince to come forward.
Zeng Zhu hurriedly sent a handyman out of the house to inform Wen Gushan's family, and asked them to send someone to say goodbye, since they had already obtained the evidence, they would definitely not keep him in the mansion anymore.
The guards locked Wen Gushan and his accomplices together, and sent them to the government tomorrow morning, and they were not afraid that they would be involved in Mengmei's affairs in the public court, because the year was not over, and the government would not try the case, so they could only be temporarily imprisoned.
When the official government opens on the sixteenth day of the first month, they have to pass the suspects who were imprisoned during the Chinese New Year one by one in the order of first come, first served, who knows how long it will take the turn of Wen Gushan to wait for the case of the three people, and in the process of waiting, the filthy and dirty environment in the prison is a hotbed of the epidemic, which is enough to destroy them.
Originally, according to Bai Ko's temperament, she wanted to dispose of it secretly, and even the coachman of Shizi didn't mind doing some dirty work in order to clean the door, but Gu Yun thought that the lives of the three of them were too cheap and not worth soiling the hands of his subordinates, so in the end it was decided to send them to the government, and the dirty people only deserved to stay in a dirty environment.
Wen Gushan's family got the news, crying and panicking to enter the mansion to cry and plead with the eldest lord and the eldest lady, but the doors did not let them enter the mansion, and they all deduced that it was too late to disturb the rest of the masters, and let them come again tomorrow morning.
The people of the Wen family tried a few back doors that allowed them to enter the house, and they forced money to ask for convenience, but no one wanted it, and the attitude of refusal was very tough, and there was really no way, so they had to cry and go home.
Wen Gushan's family was dissatisfied with Bai Ko's family and knew about it, but they wanted them to believe that Wen Gushan would collude with outsiders to steal Bai Ko's recipes, ignoring the family's old and young, and they felt that even if the sky fell, it would be impossible.
Anyway, he is the pillar of the family, and he was finally reinstated, although he was demoted to a steward, but the monthly example is enough to support the family, where do you need to do this crooked thing again.
Zeng Zhu also immediately rushed to Jicheng Hall, first asked Pang's mother for news, and wanted to ask if she could see the eldest lady.
Pang's mother only said that this matter should be handled by the prince at his sole discretion, and the evidence is conclusive and the plea is invalid, so it is best not to humiliate herself.
Zeng Zhu was an old man in the house, and he understood the meaning of Pang's mother's words, so he didn't dare to question the investigation of the prince, so he didn't even go to Zhong Mingyuan, and decisively turned around and went back to the east kitchen to instruct the cooks and ladies to make dinner first.
At dinner time, the girls from each room and courtyard came to get the food box and brought back the big news, and all the masters soon knew.
The maids and servants in Gu Jingyuan immediately used this matter to mock Mengmei, laughing at how she was blind and had a relationship with this kind of man before, Mengmei didn't argue with them, hid back in her house, closed the door and made needles, until the sound outside the door gradually stopped, she threw herself on the quilt and cried happily.
At the same time, the rich aunt of Fuliuyuan and her two personal girls were also so frightened that they couldn't hold their rice bowls, and their hearts were hanging in their throats, for fear that Wen Gushan would confess to their master and servant, how could they still have the appetite to eat, but they couldn't withdraw it as it was, so they had to secretly pour the food, pretend to finish it, and send the empty food box back to the east kitchen.
Gu Yun went to say good night to the elders after dinner, and explained the matter to his grandmother in Rongentang, and the old lady praised her grandson with relief that he had grown up and could do things.
That night, some people slept peacefully, while others stayed awake all night.
Early the next morning, Wen Gushan's family came to intercede again, wanting to see someone, but they were still not allowed to enter the mansion, until the guards drove out and sent the three to the official mansion, and then let the family say a few words through the carriage.
Wen Gushan regretted it so much that he cried bitterly, telling his wife to take care of the elderly and children, and his family couldn't stop crying, blaming him for being so confused.
The guards didn't give Wen Gushan much time to speak, and before the time for a cup of tea arrived, they drove the Wen family's people aside and drove straight to the yamen.
The official on duty on shift verified that he was putting people in prison behind him, because he was a suspect sent by the Ye Guo Mansion, and he received sweetness, so the three of them were able to enjoy a prison for themselves, and the guards made a little bit of a dot up and down, especially the jailers, each of whom gave them a lot of sweetness, and also gave them some special medicines, and asked them to treat these three people well in prison.
This is what Bai Ko means, since they have done **** things, and they can't be lynched, then let them have a good taste of the popping chrysanthemum in prison, and they won't let them die too lightly, they must last until they pass the court, and those medicines naturally come from the evidence confiscated by the guards before.
The jailers and officials are all old fritters, such a generous dot, as well as these special requirements, understand and don't say a word.
After accepting the suspect, as usual, the family members were to be notified, so before noon, the families of the other two knew that their man had committed a crime, and they had the audacity to provoke the Yeguo Mansion, and they were sent to prison with conclusive evidence, only to wait for the court to be printed and questioned after the year.
The family members of these two families were also panicked, and hurriedly dug out money and belongings to pay the officials, and prepared food and clothes to visit the prison in the afternoon.
