Chapter 400: Someone is taking advantage of others’ power!
"Wait!" Gu Qinghuai said sternly, "Just because you don't pursue the matter doesn't mean we won't! No one can leave until the injustice of my brother and nephew is cleared up! If my brother and nephew were framed, then the person who framed them must be punished! This world is not your Shu family's world! You can't do whatever you want!"
Gao Yunxiang's fingertips trembled and hatred surged in his eyes.
Today they actually faced a tough opponent, and this matter might not end well.
It is estimated that they will not only lose face, but also give their master a handle that others can use to their advantage.
Thinking of this, Gao Yunxiang glared angrily at his younger son and daughter who were causing trouble.
Shu Hongxue and Shu Hongxuan still looked unconvinced. When they stuffed the banknotes into the bags of the two peasants, no one saw it. How could the woman check?
In public, Gao Yunxiang couldn't possibly be threatened by a woman of lower status than herself. She still had some dignity left.
At this moment, the best thing to do is to leave immediately, let the theft of the banknotes end here, and get away with it by keeping it ambiguous.
She didn't believe that these people dared to go directly to the county government office, so she gave a wink to the bailiff beside her.
The bailiff understood immediately, raised his sword, and shouted: "How dare you, lowly person! How dare you intercept the wife of the county magistrate!"
"What county magistrate's wife? She's nothing but a lowly concubine!"
Suddenly, a clear female voice was heard from the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slim woman in a veil walking towards them with a few armed servants in an imposing manner.
"Zheng'er!" Gu Qingshan said in surprise.
Gu Qinghuai glared at Gu Qingshan, then immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Sister Shu! Why are you here?"
Gu Qingshan understood and immediately lowered his head to hide the joy on his face.
Zheng'er hasn't made their marriage public yet, so it's better not to let Gao know about this for now.
The students who were watching were a little confused when they heard that the veiled woman also had the surname Shu and had such a good relationship with Madam Gu.
Only Dean Yu and the teachers knew who the veiled woman was.
Shu Mingzheng glanced at Gao and the others, stepped forward, shook Gu Qinghuai's hand and said, "I heard that someone was bullying you by taking advantage of the power of others, so I rushed over immediately."
Gao Yunxiang, her son, and the yamen runners were all shocked when they saw Shu Mingzheng coming.
How could Shu Mingzheng (the eldest lady) know these people!
Shu Hongxue stamped her feet and shouted angrily, "Shu Mingzheng! We are a family, and you are helping outsiders bully our own family! You are a traitor!"
"Family members?" Shu Mingzheng laughed sarcastically, "Are you worthy? How many times have your mother and you two siblings murdered me and my brother since we were young? You wish we would die immediately, and then you can legitimately call yourselves the legitimate sons and daughters, and take over my mother's dowry!"
Shu Mingzheng didn't care about the family disgrace that shouldn't be made public, she wanted to make it public! She wanted the whole Great Xia country to know what kind of concubine her scumbag father took, and how her scumbag grandfather favored his concubine over his wife!
Sure enough, after hearing her say this, the students who were watching all started to discuss the matter in a gossipy manner.
Even a few nosy teachers' eyes lit up and they quickly pricked up their ears.
Now, they finally understood why Madam Gu was not afraid of the county magistrate's wife. It turned out that she had the support of another daughter of the county magistrate's family!
Gao Yunxiang's face was gloomy, and he bit his teeth and said, "Zheng'er, don't listen to the gossips of the outsiders. If mother wanted to harm you and your sister, how could you still be alive today?"
"How dare you call yourself my mother? You are so shameless! Zong'er and I are still alive today because we saw through you when we were very young and were always on guard. You underestimated our strength. Besides, good people have good luck!
Okay, stop talking nonsense! No one can leave until the theft of the banknotes is thoroughly investigated today!
I have sent someone to inform my father, he will be here soon. Humph, Shu Hongxue, Shu Hongxuan, you are really good children of the Shu family! You gave such a great gift to the Shu County Magistrate! "
Gao Yunxiang and Shu Hongming both changed their expressions and began to panic.
They had no intention of alarming the master (father), but now it seemed that it was no use.
Shu Hongming's eyes flashed slightly, he moved closer to Gao Yunxiang and whispered a few words.
Gao Yunxiang's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly, "Let's do it."
This is the best way to save the situation.
Gao Yunxiang turned around and looked at Gu Qinghuai, her eyes full of disdain and provocation: "I wonder how a village woman like you can prove that these two petty thieves didn't steal the banknotes?"
While Gao Yunxiang and Gu Qinghuai were talking, Shu Hongming leaned close to Shu Hongxuan and whispered a few words in his ear.
Shu Hongxuan nodded reluctantly, leaned closer to the pointy-faced little boy beside him, and whispered a few words.
There was a flash of fear in the pointy-faced boy's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded.
His family was just an ordinary merchant, and his father told him to please Young Master Shu.
Shu Hongming thought that their small action would not attract any attention among the many onlookers, but he didn't know that Gu Qinghuai and Xiao Yueshi saw it.
"Of course," Gu Qinghuai smiled faintly.
If he investigated the case like the police, carefully questioning all the people involved and then looking for clues from their confessions, he would certainly be able to find out the truth of the case, but that would be too slow and Gu Qinghuai didn't have that much patience.
She knew the truth of the matter very well, and all she needed was for the real murderer to confess in person.
She has no shortage of pills to make people tell the truth, her daughter has already prepared them for her.
The key is how to get those kids to take the pills.
Gu Qinghuai smiled, took out his whistle and blew it. With a sharp eagle cry, the white-shou bird circled above everyone's heads for several times, and then landed in front of Gu Qinghuai in a handsome posture.
"Wow! What a majestic eagle!"
"This eagle is too big!"
"Oh, so wild! So handsome! I want to have it too!"
……
The students at the scene all turned their eyes to the white head and looked at it with curiosity.
Well, not bad, you know how to show off!
This place is very well maintained!
Gu Qinghuai patted Baishou's head with satisfaction, and proudly said to everyone, "The eagle I raised has extremely sharp five senses, and can help me find out the truth by identifying smells.
We all know that some special materials or marks are added to the production process of silver bills to prevent counterfeiting. The ink used to print patterns on silver bills is also specially made. If a person touches a silver bill, the smell of the silver bill will definitely remain on his fingers.
If my brother and cousin really stole Shu Xiaoshuzi's banknotes, their fingers must have left a scent, and my Baishou would know it with just one sniff. If they didn't steal, but were framed, Baishou would be able to smell it too."

Hearing this, Gao Yunxiang and Shu Hongming smiled at each other, not hiding the contempt and ridicule on their faces.
