Chapter 351: Getting Closer to the Truth

Cao Zhifu is very entangled, Wang Yushi has already threatened himself, if he informes, he will tell his brother about embezzlement of disaster relief funds, if he does this, his younger brother will definitely be imprisoned, but if he hides this matter for him and is found out by the emperor, I am afraid that not only himself, but his whole family will be implicated.

The prefect's wife looked at her father-in-law and asked, "Father-in-law, what are you going to do?" ā€

"I don't know what to do. Wang Yushi said that he had evidence of Xiaolin's embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and if I exposed him, he would call the evidence to the emperor, and my brother Xiaolin would definitely go to prison. If I go along with them and hide this matter, it will be a crime of deception to the emperor if the emperor knows it, and not only will I go to prison, but I am afraid that even you and your children will be implicated. Cao Zhifu sighed and said.

The prefect's wife thought for a while and said, "Xianggong, what do you think of Chen Shangshu's case?" ā€

"Lord Shangshu enforces the law impartially, and of course the case is handled quickly." Cao Zhifu admired.

"Although I am a woman, I also appreciate the character of Lord Shangshu, he is honest and honest, never does illegal things, since you became the prefect, I have always hoped that you can enforce the law impartially like him, honest and honest."

"Madam, what you said is reasonable, I, Cao, also admire Lord Shangshu's character, they framed Lord Shangshu this time, and I am also very opposed, but my official position is humble, and they don't take me seriously at all."

"In that case, husband, you should report to Lord Shangshu and let him bring Wang Yushi and the others to justice as soon as possible."

"If that's the case, Kobayashi will inevitably be imprisoned." Cao Zhifu said worriedly.

"Master, Xiao Lin's corruption and perversion of the law will be found out sooner or later, can you hide it for a while, for a lifetime? When the time comes, the emperor will give you another charge of knowing and not reporting it, and your brother will still be imprisoned. ā€

"And what do you want me to do?" Cao Zhifu knew that his wife was a reasonable person, but she was a little ugly.

"You have to build Lord Shangshu on the side, and make it clear to the face that Wang Yushi wants to harm Lord Shangshu, and also solve your brother's matter."

"I really want to meet with Lord Shangshu, but Wang Yushi has already sent someone to spy on me, and it is estimated that he will be eliminated before I can meet with Lord Shangshu."

"So how? In order not to be discovered by the people of Wang Yushi, but also to tell Lord Shangshu about this? "The prefect's wife is embarrassed.

"I don't know what to do, but now I have to meet with Xiao Lin and ask him why he embezzled disaster relief funds and how much he embezzled?"

After breakfast the next day, Cao Zhifu asked the official to find his younger brother to see him.

Cao Zhifu's younger brother is a county magistrate, who used to serve in remote places, and recently because of a murder case, he was just transferred back to serve as a county magistrate in a suburban county.

Because the suburban county is in Kyoto, Cao Lin soon came to his brother's mansion with the officials.

Governor Cao ordered someone to take his younger brother to the study for questioning. Cao Lin is two years younger than his brother, his parents died when he was a child, and his grandparents raised the two brothers to adulthood, so the two brothers have been more sensible since they were young, and then the grandparents died one after another, and the two depended on each other.

Cao Zhifu saw his younger brother enter the study, ordered someone to sit on his younger brother, and then sent the waiter out, closed the door of the study, looked at his younger brother and asked, "Xiaolin, are you still used to it in the suburbs?" ā€

"Well, the people in the suburbs are very welcoming, I'm used to being there, my brother doesn't have to worry." Cao Lin knew that his brother was worried about him, and his brother took care of himself very much from childhood to adulthood.

"Then my brother will be relieved, but Brother Xiaolin has something to discuss with you." Cao Zhifu was a little hesitant, after all, his younger brother had been separated from him for a few years, and he didn't know anything about his current brother's temperament.

Seeing his brother's hesitant appearance, Cao Lin said with relief: "Brother, it's okay to say,"

"Xiaolin, when you were in the county, you didn't embezzle disaster relief funds?" Cao Zhifu asked as he stared into his younger brother's eyes.

Cao Lin, who was originally good, listened to his brother's questioning, and said with a sinking face: "I was framed." ā€

"Xiaolin, what the hell is going on? You say come and hear it. Cao Zhifu knew what his younger brother was, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he said to his younger brother.

"Brother, the emperor of Shexian Mountain is far away, the water is very deep, I just arrived there, I am not familiar with the place, it is inevitable to be designed, I just arrived there one night, I was drunk, pulled to the casino, in the case of people unknowingly, owed a huge debt, and also wrote a note, was caught by the handle, I in order to repay the debt, forced to use the disaster relief money, but I took out a lot of my Yulu to buy food for the victims, during my disaster relief, none of the people starved to death, and later was rewarded by the emperor." Cao Lin looked at his brother and said.

"Xiaolin, who knows about your embezzlement of disaster relief funds?"

"At that time, the master and the owner of the gambling house knew, but the others didn't know. What's wrong brother? Cao Lin didn't understand why his brother suddenly asked about his affairs in Shexian County.

"Your embezzlement of disaster relief funds was known by the superintendent Yushi Wangyu, who threatened to have evidence of your embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and used this to blackmail his brother."

"How can he have evidence of my embezzlement of disaster relief funds?" Cao Lin was surprised.

"Xiaolin, do you think this will be a circle, someone set a trap for you and me, the purpose is to pull our brothers into the water." Cao Zhifu looked at his younger brother and said.

"I don't know what you mean." Cao Lin glared.

You think, how can Wang Yu have evidence of your embezzlement of disaster relief funds, unless that gambling game is set up for you by him, he buys the master, gets you drunk, and then colludes with the casino, so that you only lose and not win, and tricks you into writing notes. ā€

"Brother, why do you think he did this?"

"There is only one purpose, they want to win over you and my brother to fight against the court."

"Then why are they going against the imperial court?" Cao Lin didn't know if his brother's analysis was correct, in his eyes, as an official of the imperial court, he should contribute to the imperial court, how dare he go against the imperial court.

"I don't know, I always feel like they have a big conspiracy. But don't know why? "Governor Cao didn't know why Wang Yushi wanted to go against the imperial court.
