Chapter 1337 Counterfeiting
After all, Shopkeeper Feng is just a county businessman. Without a backer, he would not dare to kill the Gu family.
"Your relative is a high official? How can a lowly businessman have a relative who is a high official?" Gu Jinan smiled, then turned cold and ordered Qiu Lang: "It is a serious crime for Feng to pretend to be an official relative. Keep beating him. Even if you beat our Gu family to death, you can still make a great contribution!"
"Yes." Qiu Lang knew that Gu Jinan's purpose was to hit Shopkeeper Feng hard, but he only hit Shopkeeper Feng until it stung, and did not really hurt his vitals.
But shopkeeper Feng didn't understand this. When he saw the pain on his body getting more and more painful, he thought he was going to die. In order to survive, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Jia Tongpan of Tong'an Prefecture is my relative, a close relative related by blood." , if you kill me, he will definitely not let you go!"
Shopkeeper Feng almost broke his throat. After shouting this, he fell to the ground exhausted.
Gu Jinan frowned and looked at the other people present.
Chai Sanfu's mother, eldest brother, a man dressed as a master, and four people in government uniforms were all here, but their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were gagged, and they were unable to speak.
"Tell me, who are the relatives between Shopkeeper Feng and Jia Tongpan?" Gu Jinan pointed at Chai Sanfu's eldest brother and said, "Say it and I can let you go."
Shopkeeper Feng had a concubine who was a daughter of the Chai family, and her daughter was married to her mother. She was supposed to ask Chai Sanfu's mother, but Chai Sanfu's mother seemed to be a tricky one, and asking her would give her a chance to entangle her, so Gu Jinan asked Chai Dafu.
After hearing this, Chai Dafu's eyes lit up and he screamed at Gu Jinan.
Qiu Lang stepped forward and removed the linen ball from his mouth. Chai Dafu immediately said: "Really let me go? You didn't lie to me?!"
With a sigh, Qiu Lang pulled out a dagger and put it against Chai Dafu's neck: "The eldest young master is a scholar. He keeps his word. I don't bother to lie to you. Don't talk nonsense and tell me everything you know."
"No, don't rub my neck, I said, I'll tell you anything!" Chai Dafu said tremblingly: "My Fujiao said that in August this year, shopkeeper Feng suddenly got very happy one day and held a big family dinner. , the concubine at home can also eat together. She was very curious about what good thing happened to shopkeeper Feng? It took more than half a month of quietly asking around before she found out that shopkeeper Feng had a grandson born in Tong'an Mansion. "
grandson?
Gu Jinan frowned and suddenly remembered a piece of gossip he heard somewhere at Dou Shaodong's house.
It is said that Jia Tongpuan of Tong'an Prefecture got a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River and loved him very much. The beauty gave birth to a son in August. Jia Tongpuan also wanted to record the concubine in the name of his legitimate wife, but his legitimate wife did not agree. It was a big fuss.
It seems that the beauty who gave birth to a son is the daughter of shopkeeper Feng.
Oh, Shopkeeper Feng is okay. He actually has a family in Jiangnan. He is sowing seeds everywhere so that he can use his beautiful daughter to climb high.
Dou Shaodong's family is engaged in big business and needs to know a lot of official news. Therefore, as long as it is an official of high rank, Dou Shaodong's family will send someone to pay attention to it, so they know the news.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Seeing that her son had easily told the news, Mrs. Chai was so anxious that she screamed at Gu Jinan, her eyes raised up, as if she was about to eat Gu Jinan. look like.
Gu Jinan smiled and asked Qiu Lang to remove the linen ball from Mrs. Chai's mouth and listen to what she had to say.
"You mud-legged man named Gu, if my family's Sanfu died in your home, you will be compensated one hundred thousand taels of silver. If you don't have one hundred thousand taels, the old woman will go to the capital to complain and kill your whole family!" Mrs. Chai is also very powerful, and she doesn't care about Feng even after she can speak. Now that I'm home, I'll ask for one hundred thousand taels if I open my mouth.
Gu Jinan sneered and said, "That's your Chai Sanfu seeking death! But since you care about Chai Sanfu so much, I will be kind and reunite your mother and son."
Mrs. Chai is a person who always bows to God three times after every meal. When she heard this, her face turned pale with fright and her teeth chattered: "You, what do you mean... Three, Sanfu, he is not dead. Yet?"
Gu Jinan smiled like a spring breeze: "The Lord of Hell saw that your Chai Sanfu was filial, so he let him come up to pick you up for the reunion."
"Pick up, pick me up!" Mrs. Chai was going crazy and shouted: "No, no, no, no, you can let Sanfu reincarnate first. I will leave a few years later and be his granddaughter in the future."
"It's not up to you." Gu Jinan called A'Duo toward the door, and A'Duo went to bring Chai Sanfu.
Although Chai Sanfu survived the disaster, he was poisoned after all. He was extremely haggard at the moment. His face was pale and green, his eyes were swollen, and his eye sockets were black and blue, almost like a ghost. When he saw Mrs. Chai, she burst into tears: "Mother, My dear mother, my son thought he would never see you again in this life!"
"Ghost!" Mrs. Chai screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
When Gu Jinan saw this, he said with disgust: "Chai Sanfu is not dead at all because he is so careless. Their poison has been cured."
After saying that, he looked at Shopkeeper Feng and said: "Shopkeeper Feng, wake up quickly and stop pretending. Your plan didn't work. Chai Sanfu and the others are not dead. Even if you ask the Chai family and the family members of the guys who are eating at the same table to report to the official court." If you make trouble, my family will be fine."
The reason why shopkeeper Feng wants to kill Chai Sanfu and the others is because he wants someone to die in Zuofang Zhai. As long as someone is killed in Zuofang Zhai, even if it turns out that it is not the Gu family's fault, the Gu family will suffer a lot.
Shopkeeper Feng was shocked. He had administered the most powerful poison. As long as he took it, there would be no chance of survival. Chai Sanfu and the others were still alive? Could it be that Chai Sanfu found out that the poison had been changed, rebelled against the enemy, and defected to the Gu family?
Shopkeeper Feng couldn't pretend anymore. He opened his eyes and made a final struggle: "Brother An, this is a misunderstanding. I didn't let Chai Sanfu poison the people at the same table... I brought Chai Sanfu here because His sister is my concubine. That bitch wanted to see Chai Sanfu for a long time, so she begged me to bring Chai Sanfu to the wedding banquet. I’m wronged... Uh-huh!"
Before he could even utter the words, Gu Jinan blocked his mouth with a linen ball.
Gu Jinan looked at Shopkeeper Feng condescendingly and said, "Everyone in the room is a witness, and the poison is a physical evidence. The evidence is conclusive. You don't need to talk nonsense."
Then he looked at the people wearing yamen uniforms and said, "Did you know that pretending to be a member of the yamen is a capital offense? If you don't want to die, identify the mastermind, Shopkeeper Feng, and make meritorious deeds. I will ask the prefect to spare your life."
Those people were shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Jinan would see through their trick of pretending to be a government servant. They were scared and regretful. Seeing that Gu Jinan was not even afraid of Shopkeeper Feng, he didn't seem to be afraid of Jia Tongpan, and even wanted to make trouble in the city. They were completely afraid. He nodded quickly and expressed his willingness to identify Shopkeeper Feng.
But the man dressed as a master was not so easy to talk to, and wanted to take advantage of Gu Jinan to take the cloth out of their mouths and record a confession.
But Luo Wu came to him and said calmly: "Wang Shuli, it doesn't matter if you lose your errand in Hukang County, but don't lose your life again."
Secretary Wang was shocked. This person actually found out his identity!
Luo Wu's job as squad leader in recent years was not for nothing. He had contacts with government officials in several nearby counties, so he recognized Secretary Wang.
