When Li Yuan heard this, she said with a puzzled look on her face: "Selling illegal salt is a capital crime. Mrs. Gao doesn't seem to be a brainless person. What good does it do her to put Master Gao to death like this?"
Su Mingshan nodded: "Yes, selling illegal salt is not only a capital crime, but also requires the confiscation of the house! But Mrs. Gao is smart. After she gave the account book, she immediately said that the ill-gotten gains made by Mr. Gao, even though they were not obtained, were It’s a lot, but she is willing to part with half of the Gao family’s wealth to make up for this crime. As for Mr. Gao, he deserves it. He will be sentenced as he should when the time comes. I beg you to give other innocent Gao family members a way to survive.”
When she said this, she paused, took a sip of tea to soothe her throat, and then looked at Li Yuan.
"Sister Li, you should know what she means by a way to survive, right?"
"Well, she is paving the way for the future of her children, and she also wants to preserve the remaining half of the family wealth. Since Gao Fu is the head of the first-class wealthy businessmen in Xinyang Mansion, she wants to have a lot of wealth. If she can preserve half of it, her children will be able to do so in the future. Even if you don’t do anything, you still have enough food and clothing.”
"Yes! So Wu Yu'er must have understood it, and then thought that she must go in, but if even Mr. Gao goes in, then her children will have no one to protect her, so she is willing to provide evidence to prove that Mr. Gao let the nursing home in the first place Acting as a bandit, robbing merchants on official roads. Her request is that her children belong to the Gao family. Before she goes to jail, the Gao family must give 20% of the remaining 50% of the family wealth to her children. "
Li Yuan was puzzled and asked: "Then Mrs. Gao is willing?"
Su Mingshan shook her head decisively: "No! The reason why she killed her relatives righteously and wanted to get Mr. Gao in was for the sake of the Gao family's wealth. She and Mr. Gao have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, and they know to some extent what some of their men are doing outside. Therefore, they are involved. Selling illegal salt, she knew that Mr. Meng would definitely continue to investigate. By then, neither she nor her children would be able to get any favors. In addition, she was disgusted with what Mr. Gao and Wu Yu'er had done, so she wanted to kick the man away. "
"She did so much, except to protect herself and her children, all she wanted was money. So, how could she give it to Wu Yu'er's children? Let alone 30%, she probably wouldn't even give it a hundred taels."
Li Yuan wanted to know more about Qian Tongpan's situation, so she asked: "Since Mrs. Gao has given physical evidence, what about Qian Tongpan? He has been taken into custody?"
Su Mingshan shook her head with a look of regret: "No! That dog official is very slippery, and just like that, Master Meng can't do anything to him. Because Master Gao, who had refused to admit guilt before, suddenly confessed for some reason. "
"However, he did not admit that he went to the nursing home to pretend to be a robber to kill people and steal money. Instead, he admitted that he sold illegal salt. However, he said that selling illegal salt was not his doing, but was carried by his servants in his goods. He was later arrested. He found that after being severely punished, it never happened again. He also said that this was just because he failed to control his subordinates, so he, the master, would bear the blame. In addition, he said that the account books were fake and that someone had malicious intentions. Framed and framed.”
Li Yuan: "...So, let alone bringing down Qian Tongpan, even if Master Gao is in a short period of time, no one can do anything to him?"
Su Mingshan sighed quietly: "Yes, if you do something like this, you will actually keep an account book to contain the other party. However, this kind of thing is used to save your life when necessary, and the place where it is placed is extremely hidden. Generally, except for yourself, , no one knows, maybe not in the Gao Mansion. So, how can it be so easy to get? The account book given by Mrs. Gao may have been made by someone who was not of the same mind as Mr. Gao herself many years ago. "
Li Yuan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then put the matter behind her.
There are professional people involved in investigating these cases, so it is not her turn to worry about it.
Thinking about it, she saw Su Mingshan's melancholy look on her face and said, "Sister Su, Brother Xie and I are getting married on the 12th, and we have to go back early tomorrow morning. Brother Xie's career path is selling well, and the royalties and dividends are better than before. We thought that most people would have a hard time this year due to the disaster, so we bought some food before the year. We plan to give some to those people when we go back. Is the wedding dress ready for your embroiderer here? "
"Okay, sister Li, do you want to try it on now? Wait a moment, I'll ask Su Lan to get it!"
Su Mingshan said and went out for a while. When she came back, Sulan came in holding a large brocade box.
While she was trying on the wedding dress, Su Mingshan helped organize it and said, "Sister Li, originally I planned for you to go to Liuyun County with your parents and Aunt Qing when you got married. But this time the plan couldn't keep up with the change. I want to stay in Fucheng and wait and see what happens. The other one is Aunt Qing. If Qian Tongpan can be overthrown, Aunt Qing will have to be the victim and ask Lord Meng for help in seeking justice."
Li Yuan lowered her head to adjust her clothes and replied: "It doesn't matter, I'm just attending the wedding, it's not something particularly important. You guys are busy with your own business. I should be here after we get married. I also have to deal with my father's case. Keep an eye on it. When the time comes, I can just set up a table in my house over there in Dongcheng."
Su Mingshan nodded with a smile, and waited until Li Yuan took the wedding dress and Xie Yanzhi's auspicious clothes, and took the two children into the carriage, then she said: "Since sister Li and brother-in-law want to do good deeds, they can't do without our Su family." . Today I will prepare a cart of grain, and ask Sulan and the driver to go with you tomorrow. When the delivery is finished, Sulan will come back. As for your wedding gift, I will give it to you when you come. "
"Sister Su is too heretic. Isn't my wedding dress the best gift you can give me?"
As she said that, before she lowered the car curtain, she glanced at Qingmei who was reluctant to leave her. After saying "take care" to her, she looked at Su Mingshan: "Sister Su, please take care of my aunt. We will see you later!"
Su Mingshan waved to her, and after the carriage had gone away, she and Qingmei turned back home.
In the carriage, Li Yuan looked at Caiwei who had a calm face and felt that the child had become much calmer after going out.
Seeing her looking at her, Caiwei subconsciously reached out and touched her face, and then asked, "Mom, is my makeup inappropriate today?"
"No, I just feel that after we have celebrated the Chinese New Year, we are one year older and we are becoming more and more sensible. By the way, you are celebrating your birthday this year, but what do you want? You said, as long as it is not too outrageous , Mom can do it, she will definitely prepare it for you."
Caiwei, who originally wanted to say that she was living a good and happy life now and didn't want anything else, suddenly remembered the powder that she had eaten before that smelled bad but tasted delicious, so she said, "Mom, you Do you still have that powder? It was the time I accidentally said you fell into the toilet that day. If there is, mother, can you cook me a bowl?"
