Chen Jinqiu looked at the Gu family tree in his hand and asked, "Dare to ask, are you Gu Zaiqing's heir?"

Gu Yaozhi replied, "Exactly, there is Gu Zaiqing's second son, and there is a big brother who is ten years older than me."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people widened nervously. Chen Qiusheng gasped even more, and he shook his head slightly at Gu Yaozhi, as if signaling him not to answer, let alone confide in half a word.

"Your eldest brother has been sin by Zhulian in the year of Chongwu, and his body is in a different place." Chen Jinqiu closed the family tree, "Gu Yaozhi, your father Gu Zaiqing's crime of corruption is known to the world, and now this official is investigating you, one of them is because you are the heir of the Gu family, and you have never been ambushed for the crime of Zhulian. The second is that you are guilty of the same sin as your father."

Gu Yaozhi asked calmly, "Dare to ask my lord, what kind of corruption did Gu commit?"

Chen Jinqiu's face was indifferent, and he stretched out his hand to his side and said, "Come on, bring the criminal to the court."

Bing Cao immediately saluted, and soon as he walked out the door, there was a heavy clanging of shackles in the corridor, and the chains dragged to the ground, and an unkempt man was then led to the court by the two men.

As soon as the man knelt down, he looked sideways at Gu Yaozhi at first glance, with deep hatred in his eyes.

The people stood on tiptoe and looked at the court with hesitant looks.

"This person's name is Jiang Nianhua, a famous businessman in Panzhou." Chen Jinqiu examined Gu Yaozhi's expression, "Gu Zhoumu, this person used to be a merchant under your father Gu Zaiqing, reselling salt and iron, and raising the price of grain. And some time ago, I heard that the Yanzhou port was built, and I was really surprised. Dare I ask you where the money and manpower for building the port came from?"

Gu Yaozhi replied calmly: "It's all from Jiang Nianhua's hands, and he funded me with manpower and money."

Chen Jinqiu's eyes widened slightly, and the hand holding the shocking wood tightened a little, and he followed closely and said, "You admit it?"

Gu Yaozhi looked sideways slightly, looked at Chen Jinqiu and asked, "I don't know what the adults say, what do you recognize?"

Chen Jinqiu immediately shouted: "Of course, it is a crime of greed, you and Jiang Nianhua resold grain, hoarded granaries in Panzhou and other places, causing the disaster situation in various parts of Kyushu to change again and again, and tens of millions of displaced people moved to other places. Even at the foot of the Son of Heaven in Chongdu, the streets are full of hungry homeless people, and the wilderness is even easier to eat. Do you admit such a blatant sin, or do you deny it?!"

The people all held their breath nervously, and looked at Gu Yaozhi with their eyes brushed together.

Chen Qiusheng immediately pushed the case up, the chair that symbolized power fell to the ground weightlessly, and he staggered around the table and walked to the front of the hall and knelt down.

"I'm here to handle this." Chen Qiusheng knelt down and looked directly at Chen Jinqiu, "It's also my promise, I didn't check the source of the money carefully, it's all my fault." Chen Qiusheng looked sideways at Gu Yaozhi, "He has nothing to do with Gu Zhoumu, he just follows my advice and acts impartially."

Gu Yaozhi turned his head to look at him, with a soft expression on his face.

But when Chen Jinqiu saw that Chen Qiusheng actually took the blame for Gu Yao, his brows frowned, and the strength of holding the shocking wood was also a little heavier.

"Chen Tingwei, if you say too much, you will lose." Chen Jinqiu's eyes were gloomy, "This is a felony of corruption, Gu Yao knows that he is the governor of Yanzhou, why should he listen to your advice?" Doesn't he know what's at stake?!"

Gu Yaozhi just wanted to speak, but Chen Qiusheng preemptively said, "I made a promise in Yanzhou that it would be difficult to govern Yanzhou, and then I used this as an excuse to persuade Gu Zhoumu. I took over all this money first, and I used it to build the port before I told Gu Zhoumu. After he knew it, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, and he had no choice but to make a promise."

Chen Jinqiu's neck was red, he didn't expect Chen Qiusheng to lie and protect Gu Yaozhi. He was so angry that he immediately stood up and shook his wrist one after another.

"Someone, bring the evidence letters!" Chen Jinqiu's raised voice was frightened and Bing Cao hurriedly handed over the letter, and after he took it, he slammed the letter to the ground, "What about these letters?!" These letters are all correspondence between Gu Yaozhi and Jiang Nianhua, and they are full of the details of the collusion between the two of them. Can you explain any of this?! Chen Tingwei, don't let me say more, you are Tingweizheng, and you are in charge of the law of Zheng Guo!"

Chen Qiusheng took a deep breath, but he suddenly coughed heavily. This frightened Chen Jinqiu's face stiffened, and he couldn't help but want to step forward and ask worriedly.

"Returning to your lordship." Gu Yaozhi looked squarely at the front of the court, "The letters are all true."

Chen Jinqiu stopped his pace of wanting to come out, he hurriedly summoned Bing Cao to whisper a few words, and Bing Cao listened to it again and again, and immediately walked out of the lobby.

The people all watched Bing Cao leave suspiciously, and looked at each other with suspicion of what Chen Jinqiu was going to do.

"Jiang Nianhua, you are engaged in business in Panzhou, selling grain and grass." Chen Jinqiu shifted the target, "Yes and no?"

The shackles were heavy, Jiang Nianhua couldn't lift his hand to salute, he said in a deep voice, "Yes."

The evidence is conclusive, Jiang Nianhua knew that his death must be today, but he also figured out some clues in prison, and was determined to give it a fight and shift the responsibility to Gu Yaozhi.

"Chongwu Nian, you worked for Gu Zaiqing, hoarded grain and grass to raise the market price, and smuggled salt and iron to the desert to trade with foreign criminals for profit." Chen Jinqiu inhaled as he pressed the table, "Yes and no?"

Jiang Nianhua nodded yes, and then suddenly said, "Yes. But after Gu Zaiqing's death, we were all instructed by Gu Yaozhi to act. Panzhou's grain and grass were all extravagant in his plan, raising the market price, and smuggling salt and iron to the outside of the plug in due course. Everything is at his command, and I am only doing what I am told."

Chen Jinqiu Mo looked at Gu Yaozhi with his hands on the table.

Gu Yaozhi replied blandly, "This matter is different. My lord, after my father's death, my eldest brother handled many matters during his lifetime, and I was not involved in them."

Chen Jinqiu sneered and pressed the table case heavily, and said, "You guys bit it first, Jiang Nianhua, you said that it was Gu Yaozhi who instructed you, is there any evidence?"

Jiang Nianhua rolled his eyes when he heard this, and paused for a while before saying, "The letters have been burned, but only the account books are still kept."

Chen Qiusheng seized the opportunity and said, "You can't do it without evidence."

Chen Jinqiu stretched out his hand and took the account book handed by Bing Cao. He walked around the table and walked down, then opened it and showed it to Jiang Nianhua.

"This is your account book for Panzhou." Chen Jinqiu followed the temptation, "Yes and no?"

Jiang Nianhua looked at it roughly, then nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chen Jinqiu turned to the last page, pointed to the signature on it, and asked, "What about this?"

Jiang Nianhua's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded frequently and said, "Not bad!"

Chen Qiusheng followed and looked sideways, and his face suddenly turned pale. The final payment on the ledger was named by Gu Yaozhi!

"Gu Yaozhi, you wrote the money yourself." Chen Jinqiu stared at Gu Yaozhi with pity, "How can this be explained?"

Gu Yaozhi lowered his eyes and looked at the handwriting on the account book, and then said, "The handwriting can be faked, this is not my signature."

Chen Jinqiu sneered again and again, and he dragged out his voice and said, "Okay, it's the same as Jiang Zimo's fornication case, they all bite to death and never make money, and they all say that the handwriting can be faked. Jiang Nianhua!"

Jiang Nianhua raised his head tremblingly and said, "Yes."

Chen Jinqiu came with the account book pressing, he grabbed Jiang Nianhua's chin and forced the other party to look at the envelope, and asked sternly: "The balance of this account book is written, is it written by him?!"

Jiang Nianhua's eyes trembled and stared at the account book, he had never returned to Panzhou to deal with affairs in Chongzhou for a long time, and he could not be 100% sure of the account book.

But now that the case has taken a turn for the better, as long as the mastermind's culpability is shifted to Gu Yaozhi, he may be sentenced to go to Manhongguan to serve hard labor!

Doing so can not only survive for a while, but also rely on his connections in the side, maybe one day he can rise again!

Right! Overthrowing Gu Yaozhi is like overthrowing Gu Zaiqing back then!

"Not bad!" Jiang Nianhua made a desperate bet, "It's Gu Yaozhi's payment, all the masterminds are him, I just acted on orders!"

The people outside the hall were in an uproar, they looked with their necks held high, and their nervous hearts rose to their throats.

Chen Jinqiu shook the ledger and asked again, "Are you sure? Are you sure it was Gu Yaozhi who did it? If you find out that your confession is false, you are lying in court. The judge will hear this case by the will of God, and act according to the law, can you think clearly?"

Jiang Nianhua stared at the ledger and nodded heavily, he didn't know where the strength came from

Raising his heavy arm and pointing at Gu Yaozhi, he said loudly in a loud voice in the dull sound of chains, "It's him, everything is him!" Jiang's words are true, and he is willing to use blood painting as a testimony in court!"

The people all shouted in surprise, and many people crowded forward, but they were all blocked by the soldiers with sticks!

"So, here!" Chen Jinqiu waved his sleeves, "Draw a charge for him."

Bing Cao stepped forward and handed over the knife, Jiang Nianhua took it without hesitation, immediately cut off his fingers, and pressed heavily on the account book and the confession handed over!

Yin Hong's blood imprinted on the ledger and confession, Jiang Nianhua and the pan revealed, pushing Gu Yaozhi to the forefront.

The people couldn't suppress their anger, and they shouted hysterically, "Gu Yao knows that the people are not guilty!" The people in front of the queue even rushed into Bing Cao, trying to rush in!

"Gu Yaozhi." Chen Jinqiu glanced at Chen Qiusheng, whose face was like ashes, and then looked at Gu Yaozhi, "The blood evidence is here, what do you say?"

Gu Yaozhi raised his head under everyone's gaze, and he said calmly, "Gu Mou has never instructed Jiang Nianhua, nor has he instructed Panzhou businessmen to raise the market price. However, my father did not instruct Jiang Nianhua back then, and the eldest brother in the family had made it clear to me at that time. My father has never collected any money, and the real money and silver are all borrowed from Jiang Nianhua to buy grain to help the victims, and there are IOUs as proof."

Chen Jinqiu immediately asked, "Where is the IOU?!"

Gu Yaozhi shook his head and said, "The IOUs have all been burned, and this matter is also my eldest brother's last words before he died."

"You're so good at reversing black and white." Jiang Nianhua cried with a mouse, he howled and said, "It's clear that you have to blame for the incident, back then I and Gu Zaiqing had a word first, you can't seek money and die!" But your father didn't care about it, and insisted on asking us to secretly raise the price of grain, so as to make that black money. How did you sophistry to borrow money? What have you done to me without evidence?" Z.br>

Jiang Nianhua cried and bowed, and slammed the ground again and again.

The people all looked at Gu Yaozhi in surprise, but Gu Yaozhi's face was still pale, and he said slowly: "What Gu said has never been half a lie, every sentence is true, please also ask the adults to learn clearly."
