Chapter 64: Action
Master Gu acted resolutely, and took Cheng Ming under control last night, personally checking the accounts of various places in the house, and there were many omissions.
The silver that Cheng Ming himself embezzled alone was as high as 10,000 taels.
Cheng Ming is the bookkeeper in the house, he has been working with Master Gu since he was a child, and he has won the trust of Master Gu.
hated Master Gu for trusting him, but he used this trust not only to enrich his own pockets, but also betray the Gu family and kill the Gu family at the most critical moment.
Master Gu took these account books, and when he was angry, he broke Cheng Ming's legs.
Cheng Ming couldn't stop begging for mercy, he still had a trace of expectation in his heart, trying to let him go for the sake of Master Gu's love for so many years, and even confessed that the reason why he did this was completely because he was confused.
He has kept an outer house since the year before last, and because the outer room likes to squander, he was fascinated by the outer room, so he did such an inappropriate thing.
He pleaded with a handful of snot and tears to beg Master Gu to spare his life.
Unexpectedly, Master Gu's face was as usual, and he was not surprised at all, "Then the outer room is Lord Su's bargaining chips to buy you, right?" ”
Master Gu said in Cheng Ming's ear.
With Gu Wanning's reminder, Master Gu naturally checked Cheng Ming to the bottom.
Cheng Ming met this outer room by chance the year before last, and the two hooked up together.
Because of the appearance of the outer room, and indeed as Cheng Ming said, he was hooked by this outer room, and began to use the cheap bookkeeping to embezzle money, and more and more.
Master Su used this as a handle to coerce Cheng Ming to be his pawn.
Cheng Ming can only be.
At first, Cheng Ming trembled, for fear that Lord Su would ask him to do something against his master.
But for two years, Master Su never summoned him again.
Until before, Master Su asked him to frame the Gu family.
Cheng Ming was very entangled in his heart, and he never thought that his entanglement would be checked by Master Gu.
For a while, Cheng Ming's face was as pale as paper, and he was drenched in cold sweat, wetting his clothes.
If it was just greedy for ink, maybe he could save this life.
It's a different story.
Cheng Ming completely lowered his arms and waited for Master Gu's hair.
"Nian Nian has been working in our Gu family for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, I will spare your life." Master Gu immediately asked Cheng Ming to be dragged out.
Cheng Ming is not a slave in the end, even if he makes a big mistake, he should not let Master Gu decide life and death with a word.
At least not on the surface.
But in private, as long as you do it secretly, so that no one can find evidence, that's it.
Cheng Ming obviously knew the master's plans, so he didn't have any hope.
Thrown outside by Master Gu, he squatted in the corner as if he had given up on himself, waiting for death to come.
But fortunately, he didn't wait for death, but for Gu Wanning, who was dressed in plain white clothes.
Gu Wanning placed Cheng Ming and his outer room in the basement of the plum garden, and looked for someone to treat Cheng Ming.
In a drowsy state, Cheng Ming heard Gu Wanning's cold voice and asked, "Do you want to live?" ”
Cheng Ming nodded violently.
His eldest son was only seventeen years old and had not yet married a wife, and his younger son was only five years old.
"I'll save you, but listen to me." The second girl who was watched by Cheng Ming grow up was always gentle and kind, but when she said this, there was a hint of murderous intent in her tone, "Otherwise, not only will you not survive." ”
Gu Wanning immediately put the dagger on the face of the outer room, and with a slight stroke, there was a blood mark, "Your outer room, your wife and children outside can't survive." ”
As a commoner, this is not good, any rich and powerful person can threaten.
Cheng Ming smiled bitterly, what could he do? He can only be obedient.
Gu Wanning walked out of the plum garden, and the breeze blew away some of the gloom on her face.
After returning to Gu's mansion, her little cousin Gu Wanxi had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Second sister, can you save Cheng Lang?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was at a loss.
As soon as Cheng Ming's greed for ink came out, as Cheng Ming's nephew, he naturally couldn't benefit from it.
In the end, the crime is not as good as his wife and children, the Gu family originally only planned to drive Cheng Lang out of the house, but at this time, Cheng Lang and Gu Wanxi's private relationship was known to Gu Sanye.
Gu Sanye immediately tied up Cheng Lang.
It is about the innocence of the girl's family, how dare Gu Sanye be negligent, if Cheng Lang is released, what if Cheng Lang is talking nonsense outside?
Cheng Lang was locked up by Gu Sanye in this way.
Gu Wanxi interceded for Cheng Lang in front of Gu Sanye, but the more she pleaded, the darker Gu Sanye's face became.
Gu Wanxi was a good girl when she was a child, and she had never disobeyed her elders like this.
Gu Sanye thought that Cheng Lang was to blame for bewitching Gu Wanxi, and hated Cheng Lang more and more, gritting his teeth and saying that he wanted Cheng Lang to pay the price.
Gu Wanxi was about to cry urgently, but no one understood her, everyone said how could she fall in love with a subordinate, and she still betrayed the subordinate of the Gu Mansion.
Only the second sister never ridiculed and ridiculed her when she learned about her affair with Cheng Lang at the beginning.
"Second sister, what do you think I should do?"
Gu Wanning's face was slightly tired, and she brushed the broken hair on Gu Wanxi's forehead, "It's really pitiful." ”
The little cousin is still young, and she doesn't know that she is in love with a complete white-eyed wolf.
Cheng Langli was a thief and framed the Gu family himself, but instead reported the Gu family for selling illicit salt, for which the Gu family paid the price of the lives of the people.
These people hit, and there are also Gu Wanxi.
The little cousin regards Cheng Lang as her beloved, but Cheng Lang is just using the little cousin.
The little cousin in the game can't understand it, and blind control can't make the little cousin understand everything, but will be more stubborn.
"Sister wants to ask Xi'er, do you want to be with Cheng Lang, or do you want to save Cheng Lang's life, you have to think clearly, and my sister can find a way for you."
Gu Wanxi's flustered heart gradually sank.
"Sister, I want to be with Cheng Lang."
"Sister, it's just that Cheng Lang's uncle did something wrong, and everything has nothing to do with Cheng Lang, isn't it?"
The girl's heart is still with expectations, and it is the original wish of all women to be able to be a couple with her sweetheart for a lifetime.
"Cheng Lang is Cheng Ming's nephew, he got his father's importance because of Cheng Ming, and now Cheng Ming has made a mistake, and it is normal for him to pay a little price." Gu Wanning put it another way, "For example, if our father made a mistake, do we need to pay the price?" ”
The law is that one person sins, and the whole family is connected, and it doesn't make sense that it won't be here with Cheng Lang.
Gu Wanxi nodded reluctantly.
Gu Wanning said again: "I'll tell you the truth, Cheng Ming's mistakes are far more than just greedy for ink, and among them, Cheng Ming is also an accomplice." ”
"It's a matter of life and death for the Gu family, even if you're just a girl, you can't stay out of it."
Gu Wanxi heard the solemnity in Gu Wanning's tone, and no longer dared to just treat this matter as a matter of children.
