Send official?
"Hahaha, will you give it away?"
Chu Sheng was not afraid at all. The government was just undergoing a major change. Chu Tianshu also sent people a lot of good things. If he really reported to the official, he might not know who would be imprisoned.
"Ha! Okay, when the time comes, take this account book and let you spit out the money one by one."
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Chu Sheng smiled even more proudly.
On the contrary, it was Chu Yanhong who pulled Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, just in case..."
Thinking about Wang Shiying's behavior before, would he collude with Chu Tianshu again this time?
Xiao Ran patted Chu Yanhong's hand: "It's okay."
"Laifu! Go and report to the official!"
"You're not afraid anyway. Let's go directly to the government office later?" Xiao Ran sneered.
Chu Sheng shrugged: "Okay, let's just go, who is afraid of whom?"
The confident look made Chu Yanhong even more worried. There must be a scam inside.
After a while, Laifu came back with the government officials.
Xiao Ran took the account book and came to the Yamen with them.
"Xiao Ran, you framed me, no matter what, I have to let you go in and squat for a few days this time."
Chu Sheng looked arrogant, but Xiao Ran didn't respond.
The two came to the Yamen, but the official had not yet appeared.
Kneeling on the ground, Xiao Ran squeezed the things in his hands.
After a while, a man in red official uniform walked over.
Chu Sheng raised his head and his smile froze instantly.
Who is this person?
Chu Tianshu invited Mr. Guan to dinner before, but Chu Sheng was on the side and had never seen the people above him.
"Which of you applied for the official position?" The official said slowly.
Xiao Ran handed over the paper he had prepared in advance, and then knelt down.
"Master Guan, the Chu Tianshu family has taken away a hundred thousand taels of our money. You have to make the decision for us!"
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Mr. Guan just raised his head slightly and glanced at Chu Sheng without saying anything.
After reading the petition, Mr. Guan looked at Chu Sheng: "What do you have to say?"
"Sir, we are innocent. Besides, my father is not here now. Right and wrong cannot be determined by their words."
Looking at the strange person in front of him, Chu Sheng felt uncertain.
"What Chu Sheng said makes sense. The person you want to sue is Chu Tianshu. You also wrote that Chu Tianshu is the mastermind. How can you interrogate him when no one is here?"
Hearing this, Chu Sheng felt that there was something wrong. It seemed that this man had also taken his father's money, otherwise he would not speak for him.
"Sir, I don't know where Chu Tianshu is hiding. Our Chu family can no longer make ends meet, and Chu Sheng is still spending money outside."
"There is nothing we can do!"
After speaking, Xiao Ran sighed.
"What does it have to do with you if I spend my own money?" Chu Sheng looked uncomfortable, and since the official was on his side, he didn't panic.
"Shut up!"
A sudden roar startled Chu Sheng.
"Are you going to interrupt me when I ask a question? Someone else is here to slap you!"
Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
what's the situation?
The officers and soldiers took out their sticks, walked up to Chu Sheng, and slapped Chu Sheng directly in the face.
After a solid blow, Chu Sheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth, and half of his face was swollen.
It hurt so much that Chu Sheng cried for his father and mother.
Xiao Ran was a little frightened. He looked at the sticks in the hands of the officers and soldiers. Should he slap his mouth with the stick?
If you come a few more times, everyone will be gone, right?
Somewhat frightened, I looked at Mr. Guan and could no longer talk nonsense for a while.
"Xiao Ran, do you have any evidence?"
Xiao Ran raised his head: "Sir, our servants were all coerced by Chu Tianshu and stole the ledger."
"We're already waiting outside. You can just call us in."
Just in case, Xiao Ran asked Chu Yanhong to call Wang Qiang over.
"Bring the people up."
After a while, Wang Qiang was brought up.
"Say it."
Wang Qiang glanced at Chu Sheng, and then told how he was threatened and how he stole the ledger.
Chu Yanhong didn't deal with herself and was ready to be betrayed.
Even going to jail is better than being sold.
"What do you have to say?"
With the witness here, Chu Sheng wanted to refute: "This... wu wu wu."
However, how many teeth have been lost, it’s hard to tell.
"You have no objection?" Mr. Guan sneered: "It seems that this is really your doing?"
Chu Sheng shook his head repeatedly, but he couldn't say anything and was so anxious that he was gesticulating.
"What are you doing?"
The official looked impatient.
"If you don't have any objections, then take him to the prison first and wait until you find Chu Tianshu before interrogating him."
After saying that, without giving Chu Sheng a chance to speak, he directly asked the officers and soldiers to bring him in.
Everything came so smoothly that Xiao Ran was stunned for a long time.
"We will interrogate you again when Chu Tianshu appears. You go back first."
The official waved his hand and stood up after speaking.
"Master Guan, this money..."
"Don't worry, I will have the officers and soldiers search it later, and the money found will be sent to the Chu family first."
This was somewhat inconsistent with the regulations, but Xiao Ran could get the money, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After watching the official leave, Xiao Ran walked out of the official residence and smiled: "It's really easy!"
Wang Qiang was also imprisoned for stealing the ledger.
Chu Yanhong had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Xiao Ran coming out, she rushed up.
"How about it?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Chu Yanhong and smiled: "I'll tell you when I get back."
There are people coming and going outside, which is a bit inconvenient.
Return to the Chu family and ask Laifu to bring up the previous entourage.
"What happened today is thanks to Xu Zhiyuan."
Xiao Ran heard about the government affairs before and immediately asked someone to send a letter to Xu Zhiyuan.
I didn't expect it to be arranged so quickly.
Chu Yanhong felt relieved when she learned that Xu Zhiyuan had changed people.
No matter what, Xu Zhiyuan is definitely on their side.
"Tell me, where is Chu Tianshu?"
This entourage is not the boy who usually follows Chu Sheng, but is probably someone left by Chu Tianshu.
"I don't know." The attendant turned his head.
Xiao Ran stepped forward: "You were with Chu Sheng before, right?"
In fact, Xiao Ran had discovered before that this man's sleeves had a line of golden embroidery, as did Chu Tianshu's sleeves before.
It seems that he left in a hurry this time and even left someone for his son.
"Ha! Don't try to get anything out of me."
Having followed Chu Tianshu for so long, he naturally knew what the two people in front of him wanted.
"Yeah?"
Xiao Ran stood up: "Laifu, have you prepared what I asked you to do?"
Laifu came up with a stack of paper, followed by Qingtong.
Qingtong put a large basin of water on the table, a little confused as to what Xiao Ran wanted with this.
"Tie him to a chair!"
"What do you want to do?" Seeing these two things, the follower seemed to have something in mind.
"If you can survive an hour, I won't embarrass you if you have the guts."
Laifu dragged the person up from the ground, pushed him directly onto a chair, and tied him tightly with a rope.
"Okay." Laifu clapped his hands proudly.
"Let's do it."
Laifu put the paper in the book basin and soaked it.
