The official received a report from the Gu family, saying that there were thieves in the house, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately sent a team of people to the door to get the thief, but he didn't want to ......

I was about to knock on the door, but I saw it open.

When Dingqing looked at it, it turned out that the five princes had come out.

The official immediately knelt down and saluted the five princes, although the five princes were angry and disorganized, but it was not easy to show it to the public. After all, the Gu family is his foreign family, and he still needs the Gu family's silver support, and he has to give the Gu family a little face when he says anything.

"Excuse me, what are you doing in Gufu?" The fifth prince suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked calmly.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the little one received a report, saying that he had entered the thief and stole a lot of valuable things. After receiving the news, the little one immediately brought someone over, hoping to help. "The official is flattering both inside and out, and he doesn't dare to offend the five princes.

The fifth prince thought about it, and vaguely understood Gu Qiancheng's plan in his heart, and he had the intention of selling the Gu family's favor, so he said: "This prince also knows a thing or two about this matter, you must investigate it carefully, and you must not let the owner suffer losses." That's what it means to do it all over again.

"The little one understands." The official hurriedly responded, respectfully sent the five princes away, and then led his subordinates into the Gu family.

Gu Qiancheng did not come forward, the housekeeper beside the old lady entertained the official errand and explained the matter one by one.

The salt merchant surnamed Liu set up a bureau to defraud the Gu family, and took the opportunity to get close to the Gu family, Gu Erye was simple-minded, and the family affairs were set up by the salt merchant surnamed Liu.

The salt merchant surnamed Liu bought off the masters of the rivers and lakes, sneaked into Gu's house in the middle of the night, pried open the private treasury where the eldest girl's dowry was stored, and stole all the valuable things inside.

After the salt merchant surnamed Liu stole the dowry, he knew that the Gu family had no ability to repay, so he came to the door today with an IOU, wanting to force the Gu family to repay the loan, and if he didn't come out, he asked the Gu family to give up the ancestral house.

During the conversation, the Gu family agreed to use the eldest sister's dowry to pay off the arrears, but Liu Yanshang disagreed, saying that the dowry was worthless and refused to ask for it......

The private vault was empty, and it had already been robbed, Uncle Gu and Gu Erye were immediately frightened, and sent people to look for clues in the private vault, but found a trace of thread that was hooked out on a rusty nail.

After comparison, the line was a coat worn by Liu Yanshang a few days ago, and the clothes were also found, and it was verified that it was indeed Liu Yanshang's.

Liu Yanshang refused to admit it, but the evidence was conclusive, and the Gu family did not dare to try the case privately, so they found Kyoto Fuyi, and the government tried the case, so as to give the Gu family justice.

When the official heard the housekeeper's words, his head was big, but he couldn't stand the Gu family's evidence, and it was solid evidence.

The key to the Gu family's private warehouse has always been on the old lady Gu, and it has never been opened before, it is impossible for Liu Yanshang to enter the Gu family's private warehouse, and the clothes that Liu Yanshang wore a few days ago were broken by the iron nails with embroidered traces in the private warehouse, which shows that Liu Yanshang has definitely entered the private warehouse, and it is still sneaky.

As for the evidence of Liu Yanshang's contact with the Jianghu people?

There is no need for the Gu family to come forward in this matter, as long as the government investigates, it will be known that Liu Yanshang really contacted a group of Jianghu people a few days ago and transported a batch of things out, as for what the things are?

Sorry, no one knows. Liu Yanshang is very capable, he quietly went out of the city and evaded the search of the government.

There are many very suspicious points in this case, but the Gu family reported the case, and the evidence on the name was conclusive, so the official could only accept it, and immediately ordered someone to take Liu Yanshang away, but found that Liu Yanshang was covered in water, his face was pale, and the back of his head was also beaten, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and he could see crimson blood.

"This ......" the official was dumbfounded, did the person die or not?

Give them a dead man, but there is no way to investigate the case.

"Don't worry, Master Liu is fine, it's just that he wants to run away, and my eldest master is angry and hit him with wood." The housekeeper didn't shirk Uncle Gu.

The official sent forward to check and make sure that Liu Yanshang was not dead, so he reluctantly carried the person away.

As soon as the people were taken away, the farce of the Gu family came to an end for the time being, Gu Qiancheng heard the housekeeper's repeated words, nodded, and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "It's very good." ”

"The little ones are all taught by the girl, and the girl is smart." The housekeeper didn't dare to ask for credit, seeing Gu Qiancheng's tired expression, he didn't want to say more, but he was worried that something was wrong with this matter, so he thought about it and asked: "Girl, this case is full of loopholes, if the government really tries it, will there be any problems?" ”

Although there are all kinds of clues, they can't stand up to investigation.

"No," Gu Qiancheng's voice was very soft, but he exuded an indescribable confidence, "This case can't be tried." "Lord Zhou will not let this case go on, because ......

If this case really wants to be tried, it will be found that Liu Yanshang was instructed by King Zhou to set up a bureau to deceive the Gu family. At that time, even if King Qin does not make a move, the five princes will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely put the relationship between King Zhou and Jiangnan on the surface, and then cut off the connection between King Zhou and Jiangnan, cutting off King Zhou's source of money.

Liu Yanshang is just a small chess piece, and King Zhou will not put his secret strength out for such a small person.

Sure enough, Liu Yanshang woke up the next day. Fu Yi tried the case, and Liu Yanshang confessed to setting up a bureau to deceive Gu Erye, and even admitted that he had moved the things from the Gu family's private vault, but it was just ......

Liu Yanshang didn't admit that he stole things, he insisted that it was the Gu family who said that he used the things in the private treasury to pay off the debts, and he saw that the things were good so that he let people take them, and he took the things from the Gu family's private treasury with the consent of the Gu family.

The Gu family naturally won't admit it, but no matter how this lawsuit is fought, it will definitely be the Gu family's reputation and discredited in the end.

You must know that the people who participated in the flower-viewing banquet that day saw with their own eyes that the Gu family sent people to the private treasury to get things, and with this rumor, the Gu family did not have an advantage, and their reputation in Beijing fell by two percent, and even the five princes were scolded several times.

Seeing that the Gu family's reputation was getting worse and worse, Gu Qiancheng stood up in time and said that he would no longer pursue the theft of the dowry, and let Liu Yanshang pay for the silver.

The salt merchant was rich, but the big head was all offered to the king of Zhou, and a million taels could not be taken out casually, Liu Yanshang couldn't take out the silver for a while, Gu Qiancheng also spoke, and directly asked Liu Yanshang to use the salt in his hand to attract business.

King Zhou was so angry that he vomited blood when he found out, although Liu Yanshang was a pawn, he also had a big business in his hands, and the most important thing was that if the salt was to fall into the hands of Gu Qiancheng, Jiangnan would no longer be the same as before, like an iron bucket, outsiders could not break it, but ......

Before King Zhou could make a move, King Qin stabbed this matter in front of the old emperor!
